The Bai family chose a place, went to the county seat to book the materials, and started work after choosing an auspicious day.
This was a particularly lively event in the village, because the Bai family paid high wages, and villagers from several nearby villages came to apply for the job.
Old Zhou Tou went by himself.
The Bai family chose to hire some people. The house needs to be quite large, and it needs a lot of wood, stones, etc. All of these have to be done by people.
The whole village became lively, and the children especially liked to go to watch the fun. Man Bao also ran to watch it with great interest, and the Zhou family was also talking about it when they returned home at night.
Among those who went to the Zhou family, only Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang were selected, Zhou Zhoulang was not selected, and Zhou Zhoulang did not follow because he had to rest to cope with labor.
Because the winter solstice is approaching, there are a lot of things to prepare at home, so Qian deliberately took out the money at home and counted it. Of course, this can't be hidden from Man Bao, who lives in the same room.
Man Bao also volunteered to keep accounts for her.
Qian took a look at Man Bao and agreed.
During this time, they actually made a lot of money, but they kept spending money. Thinking that the third child was going to serve in the military, and it was winter again, she set aside some money to buy him some cotton to fill his clothes. The clothes need to be added a little, and the fabric must be needed.
Qian Shi set aside another part, and only then did Man Bao remember the rest of the money.
Man Bao asked, "Mom, is our family rich now?"
"Never mind, this amount of money is not enough for the New Year, and we still have to survive after the spring." Qian sighed, "Your flower basket business is gone, otherwise the family will still have some income."
Man Bao said: "We can sell yam."
"Where can we look for it?" Qian said, "I dare not go into the deep mountains. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it if I go all over the shallower places."
"Then we'll plant it ourselves."
"How do you grow this thing? We've never heard of it before, so we don't dare to grow it carelessly, and where do we get the seeds?"
Man Bao pondered. Now the entry of yam has not come out, and the points have not come down, but she thinks yam can be planted, because Ke Ke has said that although yam was extinct in its era, but going forward, it is still In the time of the Earth Era, this was a very common thing, and everyone ate it like eating Chinese cabbage.
Since it is as common as cabbage, it means it can be grown.
Man Bao asked Ke Ke.
The system silently searched out some information to show Man Bao, using its own privileges to confiscate her points.
Man Bao read most of these materials, and found Wu Wulang and Saturday Lang the next day, "Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, I have already figured out what to plant on Fourth Brother's land?"
"What to plant?" Wu Wulang said: "What else can he grow in his wasteland besides beans? My father already said that next year I will give him two catties of beans, and I will return them after the summer harvest."
"What's the point of planting beans? If we want to plant, we will plant yams!"
Zhou Wulang rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you know how to plant it?"
Man Bao said confidently: "I almost know."
"What does it mean to almost know? If you know it, you know it. If you don't know it, you don't know it."
"I haven't planted it, haven't I seen it? Brother Wu, we all watched it when we went to dig yams. We planted them as they grow. I think it has vines. Let's give it a shelf to let it grow." Climb up, then go to the mountain to dig more soil and put it back, water more and it’s almost the same.”
Liu Liulang asked, "Why do you need to dig the soil?"
"It likes to grow there, it must be because it likes to eat the soil there, we dig the soil back and spread it in our field, and of course it likes to grow after planting it."
The two brothers always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
Man Bao encouraged them, "When the yam is planted, we will have a share, and the money earned must be shared with us by the fourth brother."
Man Bao said that she would discuss this with her fourth brother.
Wu Wulang was not worried that the fourth brother would not agree, but said, "Where can we get yam seeds? No, do yams have seeds?"
Man Bao said: "When we dug the yam last time, didn't several pieces break off in the soil? Dig it back."
Zhou Wulang and Saturday Lang opened their mouths wide, "Well, can that be planted?"
Keke said that tubers can be used as seeds, so she nodded confidently, "It's definitely possible."
"Then dig it back?"
"Dig it back and talk about it." Although Man Bao has a little idea now, he is not very sure, but, who cares, just take one step at a time.
Because Man Bao is the only scholar in the family, and a lot of money the family has made recently is due to her ideas, so Wu Lang and Saturday Lang unconsciously listened to her opinions.
Not only Friday Lang, Zhou Zhoulang will now listen to Man Bao's opinion.
Man Bao pestered him, asking him to go into the mountains to find yams, and said: "Don't pull them up, bring them back with the vines, maybe the vines can also be used as seeds."
Zhou Zhoulang felt that what she said was reasonable, how could he grow his own when he went to the mountains
Maybe next year their family will really be able to harvest a bunch of yams.
Man Bao also reminded again: "Second brother, if you see a plant in the mountains that I have never seen before, you must pull it back and give it to me."
Zhou Yilang responded as usual, but this time he finally got serious and asked Man Bao, "What plants have you seen?"
Man Bao drew a big circle and said, "I've seen everything in the village. Second brother, just see what's not in the village or on that mountain, and tell me a little bit."
Zhou Zhou Lang touched her head with a smile, and said with a smile, "Okay!"
"Host, the points of privet fruit and yam have arrived together." Keke suddenly said, Man Bao's eyes lit up, he ran back to the room, hid in his little quilt to look at the points.
When the system saw Man Bao's consciousness coming in, it opened the page for her to see. The reward points for Ligustrum lucidum were 5,000, and for yam was 2,500.
"These two plants have a very important position in history. They are not only valuable for the study of botany, but also of great reference value for the study of society and humanities at that time, so the reward points are higher."
The system stored all the points, and said at the same time: "The entries of other plants collected by the host before are also being produced, and they are expected to arrive in the next two days. Host, you have earned so many points, don't you reward yourself with something ?"
He brought out the beautiful bag and showed it to Man Bao.
Man Bao looked and looked, and when he had seen enough, he said: "No, I want my sister-in-law to make it for me, please let me take another look at my mother's medicine."
Keke could only show her the tube of potion.
Man Bao admired the green medicine, and said with satisfaction: "Keke, don't worry, I will definitely collect many, many plants, maybe next year I will be able to collect enough points to buy medicine for my mother."
Keke couldn't bear to hit her, but still couldn't help but said: "It's hard, host, think about buying other things, not expensive and cheap, you have more points now, and it's too much to buy candy with one point a day." Waste of points."
Man Bao poked at the merchandise in the mall and said, "I don't know what else to buy and sell except sugar."
