Chapter 558 Harvest (for the birthday of book friend "Jinyiwei: Rongrong")
The Yan family’s garden was very large, with many tall flowers and trees, and many people. Manbao had not only never seen them, he had never even heard of them.
As for this kind of flowers and trees, Keke naturally would not ask Manbao to dig up the whole one. Even if it asked so, Manbao himself would not agree.
There was a big hole on the ground out of nowhere. County Magistrate Tang didn't even need to follow the clues to find out that it was her who did it. He would probably know it was her who did it after a little thought.
It was okay for her to dig up some flowers and plants that had been cleared by the Xiao family, or even to dig up the tiles inside to look for treasure, but digging up even the trees was too much.
Manbao didn't know how many flowers and plants had been pulled out by the Xiao family. She guessed it must be a lot, because there were many rare flowers and plants that were abandoned and growing on the edge of the vegetable field, and they were scanned by Keke.
Manbao even dug up three orchids.
Of course, that was what Koko said, she didn't know him.
Although she had never seen orchids, she had always heard of them and had seen descriptions of them in many books.
Manbao put the three orchids into the backpack and gave one to Keke, leaving only two. She looked around and said regretfully, "It's a pity that their family doesn't grow medicinal herbs."
"Who would grow medicinal herbs in their garden?" Zhou Silang's voice suddenly rang out behind Manbao. Manbao was startled and turned around to complain to Keke, "Why didn't you tell me that my fourth brother was coming?"
Koko: “Not an outsider.”
Manbao: ...
"You said so."
Manbao then remembered that when she was at home, she would talk to Koko quietly, and it would always announce from time to time, "The eldest brother is coming/The second brother is coming..." Manbao despised it and said that there was no need to announce when family members were coming.
This really can't be blamed on Keke. Manbao can only blame Zhou Silang, "Fourth brother, why didn't you tell me you were coming? You scared me to death."
"You scared me to death! Mr. Zhuang told you not to come here, but you insisted on coming here. Are you looking for death?" Zhou Silang glanced at the unfamiliar plants in her backpack and asked with a frown, "Don't you have these things outside?"
"That's why I came here to dig because there's nothing there."
"Really? What's so fun about these flowers and plants?" Zhou Silang never quite understood her. "I've seen you like this since you were little. Did you specialize in taking care of flowers and plants when you were with Master Tianzun?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Silang became convinced. He clapped his hands and laughed, "That must be the case. Oh my, so you used to be in charge of flowers and plants, Manbao."
Manbao: ...
Zhou Silang began to turn around and said, "Don't forget your duties. When you die in this life, you will have to go back to become an immortal. What if you don't recognize these flowers and plants by then? Come on, tell me, Fourth Brother, which ones do you want to dig?"
Manbao knew that it would be bad if her fourth brother misunderstood her, but she couldn't help but feel happy. She handed him the hoe and pointed to the various plants scattered along the edge of the ridge and said, "That's all."
Zhou Silang helped her dig and said, "These flowers and plants are not worth much, right? We can just buy them from outside. Why do you have to climb here and dig them yourself?"
"They should be very valuable," Manbao recalled the descriptions of these flowers and plants in the book and said, "For example, orchid grass. Hey, this is honeysuckle..."
After hearing Keke's introduction, Manbao happily took the plant Zhou Silang had just dug out and said with a smile: "Honeysuckle is a medicinal herb. Finally, there is medicine. Fourth brother, here is another one. Hurry and dig it up."
Zhou Silang perked up and asked, "Is it like Ligustrum lucidum, can it be sold for money?"
"It should be possible."
Zhou Silang also became much more excited. He had been close to the herb shop recently and felt that all the herbs in the world could make money. Now that he had dug up a herb, his mind was full of ideas of planting it all over the mountains.
Zhou Silang treated this plant with special care and placed it in a corner of his backpack.
The brother and sister dug for a long time, and they dug a lot of messy things. Zhou Silang felt a little guilty when he saw the bumps on the edge of the vegetable garden caused by them.
Looking at the vegetables that had grown quite big, his eyes turned and he said, "Since we've already dug up so many flowers and plants, we might as well pick some vegetables to take back."
"That's not good," Manbao said, "These flowers and plants were left behind by people and are almost like weeds, but these vegetables were grown by people."
"They were grown by the Xiao family, so how can they come in and take them?" Zhou Silang said confidently, "Besides, the government doesn't want these vegetables. Instead of keeping them to get old, we might as well eat them."
After saying this, he didn't even wait for Manbao to answer and just started pinching him.
Manbao, of course Manbao will help.
She helped to pick a large handful, and said, looking around: "Fourth brother, let's pick a little first and come back tomorrow, so that they are fresh."
Zhou Silang: ...He said he just wanted to pinch her once, would she believe him?
Zhou Silang ignored her, picked up a large handful, put it in the backpack and continued to pick it. He said, "Every time you come in, you have to crawl through a hole. It's very dirty and it will ruin your clothes."
Zhou Silang lectured her, "You are not allowed to come here again. Even if you come, you must choose a good weather day. Look at your clothes and shoes now."
"Fourth brother, you have to cover for me when we get back. You can't let the master know that I came here."
"You took so many things back, how could Mr. Zhuang not know?"
Manbao was stunned, obviously not expecting this.
Zhou Silang had already picked the vegetables and picked up his backpack and left. "Let's go back and take a shower and change clothes. Are you going to plant these flowers and plants in our yard? But we're only renting it for three months. What will we do after that?"
Manbao said, "Let's go buy some pottery pots and plant them."
"Then we have to dig the mud, which is quite troublesome. Otherwise, except for the two honeysuckle plants, all the others will be lost."
Manbao snorted and didn't agree.
Zhou Silang had a headache. After returning home, he looked at the muddy flowers and plants in his backpack, none of which he recognized, and worried, "They are all planted in ceramic pots. How many ceramic pots do we need? They are very expensive. Why don't we plant them in the yard? Just plant the honeysuckle in ceramic pots."
Manbao asked, "How much is a pottery basin?"
"It's not cheap anyway," Zhou Silang said, "and it will definitely be many times more expensive than these wild grasses and flowers of yours."
Manbao reluctantly said, "Okay, then plant them in the yard. Actually, I just want to know what they will look like when they grow up."
Although she could see pictures after the encyclopedia researched and created entries, she always felt that it was not as good as seeing the real thing herself. She also wanted to wait a while, in case there were particularly precious plants among them, she could then put them on the forum for sale.
Then she wouldn't have to worry about having nowhere to look, she could just dig in the yard.
Today is Rongrong's birthday. Well, I don't know how old she is, but her birthday is a few days younger than mine. Someone promised Rongrong to add three chapters. What can I do? I can only add more.
Wish Rongrong a happy birthday, become more and more beautiful, and be happy every day
