What could Man Bao do? She could only look at Fifth Brother sympathetically, then patted her butt and got up, saying, "Fifth Brother, you should be ready to go out and sell ginger."
Wu Wulang got up, "Man Bao, father and mother both said that we will grow less ginger next year. Last year, because of the ginger planted in your small farm, our family's ginger was not all sold. As a result, people in the village also We have started to sell ginger outside, if we hadn’t found merchants in Lin County to pick up the goods, the ginger at home would have been even harder to sell.”
Man Bao didn't care and said: "Isn't there old ginger? Dig it up and dry it in the shade, make dried ginger and sell it to pharmacies. It is also very valuable. If the ginger is not sold, it will be kept for an extra year."
Now that she has studied medicine, she knows that dried ginger has many uses and is very large, so she knows that there will not be many of this stuff, so she confidently said to Zhou Wulang, "Just grow it, and it will definitely sell."
Hearing this, Zhou Wulang lifted his spirits, and said, "I also have land. Father dislikes that I have a piece of land that is very remote and sandy, so I don't want to plant it. I want to plant ginger on it."
"Will it be stolen?"
When Wu Wulang heard this, he also hesitated. If the valuable things he planted were too far away, he would not know if they were stolen, so their ginger, yam and other things would not be planted very far away, and they were not far from the entrance of the village. .
When it was time to harvest, a straw shed was set up there, and the brothers took turns to watch over the bedding.
But if the place is too far away, it will not work.
Wu Wulang sighed, "It would be great if I was born a few years earlier, so that all the good lands will not be separated, and all the good wives will not be married."
Man Bao: ...
"Fifth brother, you can plant privet seeds. Don't the privet seeds grown on the back mountain grow quite big? Later, you cut off the branches and put them in. No one should steal those things."
"It's because no one stole it, so it's not easy to plant. We originally planted about 30 trees, which were well watered and fertile. In the end, only 18 trees survived, and almost half of them died." Wu Wulang felt that the planting girl Ligustrum lucidum is not as valuable as ginger. First, the price is slightly lower. Second, privet virginity has to be processed. Third, it grows too slowly.
"The privet fruit has been planted for two years, but it hasn't started to bear fruit yet. I don't know if it will bear fruit next year, and how much it will bear."
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Let's take our time. You have to think about the best. This privet seed will not need to be replanted for a long time, unlike ginger, which has to be planted every year."
"Who says you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry? You can't eat it if you're not in a hurry. You see, when making tofu at home, everyone keeps picking it up. If you take your time, you won't have it when it's your turn."
When Man Bao heard it, yes, he said to Ke Ke in his heart: "Ke Ke, I learned this sentence from you, you have to take responsibility."
Koko ignored her.
The two brothers and sisters have already talked about stuffed tofu from tofu, "The stuffed tofu made by my sister-in-law is really delicious, Man Bao, after the winter solstice, can you ask my sister-in-law to make it well?"
Stuffed tofu is written in a gourmet book bought by Manbao from the Encyclopedia. In addition to stuffed tofu, there are many soy-based dishes.
But if you just look at the pictures, Man Bao likes this dish the most, so he pestered Xiaoqian to make this dish first.
But to make this dish, the tofu needs to be deep-fried to make tofu puffs, so it is not often available in Lao Zhou's family.
Because not only Lao Zhou felt sorry for You, but also Qian and Xiaoqian.
But tomorrow is the winter solstice, so it will be different. Xiaoqian made stuffed tofu today, and there will be some to eat tomorrow, but it will be different after the winter solstice.
Zhou Wulang told Man Bao: "You have to leave me two stuffed tofu, don't eat them all."
"Don't worry, fifth brother, I won't eat all of them."
"What are you two talking about?" Zhou Xi put the cleaned ginger into the basket, and said to Wu Wulang, "Your second and fourth brothers are waiting for you, hurry up."
Zhou Wulang responded, went forward to pick up the basket, and turned to Man Bao to emphasize again and again, "Remember to leave me two stuffed tofu."
Zhou Xi couldn't help being happy, "He's so greedy."
Man Bao smelled the scent coming from the kitchen, sniffed and said, "Sister, I'm greedy too."
"You, half a child eats a poor old man, there are so many people in the family eating, don't you see dad worrying?"
"This year is a bumper harvest year, what is Dad worried about?" Man Bao said, "It's not worrying Dad, it's because Dad is used to picking."
"Who said I'm used to picking?" Old Zhou Tou suddenly appeared in the yard, staring at the two daughters.
Man Bao immediately left elder sister behind and ran into the kitchen, "Father, I'll see if sister-in-law has prepared breakfast."
Old Zhou muttered a few words, and went into the main room with his hands behind his back.
During the winter solstice holiday, all the children in the old Zhou family don't have to go to school, but the husband has assigned a lot of homework, so everyone is burying their heads in writing at this time.
After finishing their homework in the morning, they can go out and play all day.
Man Bao's homework is more and deeper than theirs, so she plans to go to Bai's house to find Bai Shanbao to do homework together after eating the delicious food.
It's just that before she had time to go out, a guest came to her door.
Zhou Zhoulang led a young man in and shouted, "Man Bao, Da Lang from the old doctor's family is looking for you."
Man Bao was waiting for the tofu to come out of the pot, when he heard this, he poked his head out and saw the familiar Lu Dalang.
He is the eldest grandson of the old doctor, and Man Bao can always see him when he asks the old doctor with a prescription.
Man Bao greeted him quickly, "Brother Lu, what do you want from me?"
Lu Gui saluted and said, "My grandfather wants to see you."
"Huh?" Man Bao first glanced back at the kitchen, sniffed and asked reluctantly, "Are you in a hurry?"
If you're not in a hurry, wait for her to have breakfast first.
Lu Gui hurriedly said: "My grandfather was ill, he told me to come to you early in the morning last night, saying that he wanted to talk to you."
"Oh, I'm sick. What kind of disease is it? Is it serious?"
Seeing Man Bao's concern, Lu Gui smiled and said, "It's just that I sometimes get a cold, it's just that my grandfather is getting old, so it's not easy to recuperate, and his temper is a bit strange."
Man Bao has always liked the old doctor, but he didn't think he was strange, so he said: "Then wait a moment, I'll go get something."
Zhou Zhoulang asked Lu Gui to sit down and drink a bowl of water first. Old Zhou Tou and Qian Shi also came out of the house, and asked about the old doctor's condition with concern. She then assigned Zhou Zhoulang to say: "Follow your sister have a look."
Zhou Lang should go down.
The three of them went to Dali Village together, and Man Bao asked about the old doctor's condition in detail on the way.
It's actually very simple. It's getting cold these days. I don't know if it's because the old doctor got up early or the cold wind blew when he got up at night. In short, he was dizzy and runny first. He prescribed a medicine for himself After eating it, although it didn't get worse, it didn't get better either, instead it became lingering.
