Xiao Gao suddenly felt uneasy: "Don't listen to what the kids say. The things you dug up can't be sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. Besides, we've already agreed on the price. It would be embarrassing not to buy it, right?"
"Who agreed on the price with you?" He Xuebin was now furious. "Who agreed on the price with you? Such good Pueraria root, and you only paid a little over a thousand yuan for it. Are you a Zhou Paopi from the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"If that doesn't work, I'll give you some more?" Xiao Gao said with a bleeding heart.
He Xuebin looked at the panicked Xiao Gao and chuckled, "I can see. Are you anxious?"
"Hey, you're so anxious now. What were you doing just now?" He Xuebin said proudly, "You're thinking of raising the price now. I'm telling you it's too late!"
"But……"
Xiao Gao was about to give it another try when Fang Xiuzhu interrupted him, "Xiao Gao, you haven't forgotten the name of our show, have you?"
Xiao Gao was confused: "What?"
"Take the children to the countryside." Fang Xiuzhu looked gently at Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan: "If I remember correctly, the purpose of your program team is to listen to the children, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Xiao Gao said with a bad look on his face.
"That's all." Fang Xiuzhu spread his hands and smiled, "We are now following the program team's purpose."
Hearing this, Xiao Gao was completely dumbfounded.
Not only him, but also Director Liu, who had been watching the progress of the program, did not expect the situation to develop in this direction.
However, upon seeing the current popularity of the show, Director Liu's mouth curled up to the sky: "Not bad, not bad. This development is also quite good."
That’s why Lu Chuanbei and the others said they wanted to bring out Pueraria lobata.
Seeing this, Yang Bai, who was guiding Song Tiantian and the others, immediately stepped forward and said to Lu Chuanbei and the others, "Teacher Lu and Teacher Fang, can you sell me this kudzu root?"
Lu Chuanbei and the others looked at Yang Bai.
Yang Bai quickly said, "It's like this. In addition to growing some fruit in the village, my family also collects some medicinal herbs from the mountains and sells them."
"No wonder you know the herbs in the mountains. It turns out you also have a part-time business collecting herbs." He Xuebin said with sudden enlightenment.
Yang Bai scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Yes, otherwise the program team would not let me be your guide."
"That's easy." Lu Chuanbei went straight to the point and said, "Since you're knowledgeable, how much are you willing to pay for this kudzu root?"
"The price of medicinal herbs in our mountains is not as high as outside, but wild kudzu root of this quality and size can still be sold for 31 kilograms." Yang Bai's words made Zhang Songbai, who came rushing over, feel a chill in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard the price, Lu Chuanbei and the others agreed immediately.
Fang Xiuzhu nodded: "This price is pretty good in the village."
"The village is different from the outside world. Thirty-one kilograms is not a low price." Lu Chuanbei said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Deal." He Xuebin said happily.
Seeing this, Yang Bai quickly looked towards Xiao Gao and said, "Teacher Gao, can you lend me the scale from the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Xiao Gao, who watched his business being snatched away, nodded helplessly: "Take it and use it."
"Thank you." Yang Bai quickly took a scale from the supply and marketing cooperative and brought Lu Chuanbei and the others' kudzu root over to weigh it: "One hundred and thirty-five catties and six ounces."
Lu Chuanbei: "Just count it as 135 kilograms."
"One hundred and thirty-five pounds, thirty per pound, that's four thousand and fifty." Yang Bai calculated: "Teacher Lu, wait a moment, I'll go get the cash for you now."
"Okay."
With Yang Bai's money, the little money He Xuebin and his friends earned from picking roses suddenly didn't make much sense.
However, adhering to the principle that even the smallest bit of money is still meat, Lu Chuanbei and his friends took the roses they had worked so hard on for the entire afternoon to the supply and marketing cooperative and exchanged them for more than 300 yuan.
After getting the money, Lu Chuanbei and others went to pay back the money owed by He Xuebin first, so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble and prevent Zhang Bosong from catching them and making trouble for them.
A few people who lived a debt-free life and had become rich overnight looked at the money in their hands and immediately decided to have a big dinner in the evening to celebrate.
Not only that, Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan, who found and dug out the kudzu root, also got the honor of ordering dishes.
Look, Lu Chuanbei was holding Song Tiantian, pointing at the things in the supply and marketing cooperative, and said to Song Tiantian with a generous look: "Tiantian, take whatever you want to eat today! Daddy will pay!"
"Great!" Song Tiantian cheered, pointing directly at the snacks in the snack area and said to Lu Chuanbei, "Dad, I want lollipops, potato chips, shrimp crackers, orange soda, Wahaha, and QQ candy!"
Lu Chuanbei's expression froze after Song Tiantian called out the names of the snacks.
Not only that, he could also imagine how Song Jiaqi would treat him after he bought so many snacks for Tiantian that he didn't usually give her.
However, now that the big words have been spoken, and...
Lu Chuanbei glanced at the camera that was still broadcasting live: "Tiantian, your mother shouldn't be watching the live broadcast, right?"
"Hmm?" Song Tiantian tilted her head. Although she didn't understand why Lu Chuanbei suddenly said this, she still answered honestly: "Mom is at work now, she probably won't watch the live broadcast."
Not sure if he really believed it or was just trying to comfort himself, Lu Chuanbei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
Fang Xiuzhu looked at Lu Chuanbei's useless appearance and resisted the urge to remind him about the editing.
However, no matter what, Song Tiantian finally returned home with a full load of snacks.
In addition to snacks, Lu Chuanbei and his team also sold a lot of high-quality food ingredients. Not only did they buy all the fresh food such as chicken, duck, fish, beef, shrimp, etc. that they were reluctant to buy at first, but they even took a basket of eggs.
Zhang Bosong almost choked when he saw the food they took away.
The live broadcast room was filled with cheers, with everyone praising the production team.
Back at the grape courtyard, the three adults divided the work and began to process the ingredients.
He Xuebin took the bone-chopping knife and chopped the ribs into large pieces about the length of a finger.
Fang Xiuzhu was holding a basket of vegetables and washing them non-stop by the sink.
Chef Lu Chuanbei, wearing a colorful apron, used a kitchen knife to cut the washed beef brisket into pieces, preparing a dish of stewed beef brisket with tomatoes.
At this time, He Jingnian, who was sleeping soundly, finally woke up to the sound of continuous bone chopping.
As soon as he walked out of the house, He Jingnian rubbed his eyes and saw He Xuebin walking out of the yard with a basin of pork ribs.
Upon seeing this, He Jingnian couldn't help but exclaimed: "Dad, you robbed the supply and marketing cooperative?"
He Xuebin's mouth twitched: "What do you mean by robbing? This is something we bought openly."
"Bought it?" He Jingnian said in disbelief: "Impossible, we are so poor, and we are in debt. How can we afford to buy so much meat?"
[Pfft… robbing the supply and marketing cooperative, Niannian is indeed the source of my happiness!]
[Haha, being poor and still in debt, Nian Nian, your understanding of your father is too clear.]
He Xuebin was left speechless by his son's words: "My dear son, can't you think of something better?"
"That has to be good." He Jingnian looked at He Xuebin and said, "But we are poor and still in debt. What good can we get?"
He Xuebin's mouth twitched: "Who told you that we still owe money?"
"I'm telling you, your dad has upgraded his weapons and paid off all his debts. He's even become a millionaire, don't you know?"
He Jingnian's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Good boy, just wait." He Xuebin glanced around and said to Fang Nan and Song Tiantian, "Tiantian, Nan Nan, tell this brat if I paid back the money I owed and became rich."
Song Tiantian nodded: "Uncle is right, we have paid off our debts and made a profit."
"Is this true?" He Jingnian looked at He Xuebin in disbelief. "Dad, did you really pay back the money you owed?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise you really think I can rob the supply and marketing cooperative." He Xuebin rolled his eyes in anger.
"hey-hey."
In the kitchen, Lu Chuanbei had just started stewing beef brisket with tomatoes when he encountered a problem.
He looked at the large basin of ribs that He Xuebin brought over and asked with some difficulty, "Well, what should we do with these ribs?"
"Just do what you think is right." He Xuebin said carelessly, "We can all do it."
"I'll watch and make it." Lu Chuanbei said a little embarrassedly: "I've never made spare ribs before."
"Ah?" He Xuebin looked at the ribs in the basin and felt uneasy: "You have never cooked ribs before?"
"Yeah, my mom makes all the spareribs at home. I've never made them myself."
"What should we do then?"
Fang Xiuzhu just came in and saw the two people standing in the kitchen. "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Chuanbei and He Xuebin looked at him at the same time: "Xiuzhu, can you cook spareribs?"
Fang Xiuzhu froze. "Why are you asking this?"
“I’ve never made ribs.”
“I only know how to eat.”
Fang Xiuzhu: "...Do you think I can do it?"
[Laughing and crying.jpg I finally bought so many meat dishes, but in the end I had trouble figuring out how to cook them.]
[What kind of suffering is this?... No, I'm almost laughing.]
[This is so funny. I thought they were finally going to have a good meal. Now it seems I was overthinking it.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, three grown men, finally collapsed on a meal.]
"What should we do then?" He Xuebin looked at the basin full of ribs: "We finally bought so many ribs, we can't just leave them there and watch, right?"
"Let me think about it." Lu Chuanbei looked outside.
As soon as I saw it, the landline phone placed in the main room immediately caught my eye.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chuanbei's eyes lit up: "I've got an idea."
"What method?"
"I don't know how to cook spare ribs, but my mother-in-law does." Lu Chuanbei hurried towards the main room.
"Mother-in-law?" He Xuebin watched Lu Chuanbei leave and looked at Fang Xiuzhu with a puzzled look on his face: "Xiao Lu's mother-in-law is here too?"
Fang Xiuzhu twitched the corner of his mouth: "What do you think?"
