Chapter 94: Promise (Yunqi Recommendation Vote 40,000 plus more)
Moreover, Manbao secretly thought that if she could buy a donkey, she would definitely give it to her father and elder brother first, so that they would not have to work so hard on farming.
Keke: "... Host, what do you think of growing ginger? It's easier to grow than yam and its value is not low either."
Koko even thought of the seeds for her. It took the initiative to open the mall and search for ginger for her.
There are quite a lot of pages, and the varieties are different.
Koko scanned the piece of dried ginger in Manbao's pocket and quickly found several types that were most similar to it, and then put them in the front for Manbao to see.
He introduced: "Ginger comes in small pieces and large pieces, and the flavors vary in intensity. These five types are the closest to the ginger genes of this time and space. The host can take a look first, as their yields vary."
Manbao took a look and found that everything was sold in units of five kilograms, and there was not even one kilogram.
But the price for five kilograms is not very high, only ten points.
Manbao was surprised, "Why are your ginger cubes so cheap?"
Koko said: "Because there are many of them and they reproduce easily."
In order to fully demonstrate how easy it is to grow ginger, Keke also told her a story.
"There's a little story about ginger. It's said that in ancient times, ahem, the ancient times of our time, which should be not long after your time."
Manbao: ...So she is an ancient person from ancient times?
Suddenly, Manbao felt a surge of pride in his heart. What should he do?
Humph, I am your ancestor.
"Two families had adjacent vegetable gardens, but their relationship wasn't good. One family planted ginger in their garden, just beyond the fence," Koko continued. "The other family also wanted to plant ginger, but because of their relationship issues, they couldn't ask the other family for permission. So they spread a layer of manure in their garden next to the ginger field, and regularly watered, weeded, and loosened the soil."
"Before winter, ginger started growing from under the fence and sprouted in her field. From then on, she also had ginger plants."
Manbao screamed in his heart, extremely surprised.
"So as long as the soil is fertile enough, ginger is very easy to grow. One crop yields ten, and ten yield a hundred. It couldn't be easier."
Manbao was so tempted by the five-jin bag of ginger in the mall that he bought a bag without hesitation.
Keke collected the goods for her and saved them in the system, saying, "Remember to buy a donkey with the money you earn from growing ginger."
He said, "You can use the points you earn from collecting the donkey to buy all sorts of useful things in the mall."
Manbao nodded perfunctorily, already planning in his mind how to grow this ginger.
She was just curious. "If ginger is so easy to grow, why is there so little of it? Ginger is so expensive."
"Perhaps it's because your era's information transmission is backward and the circulation of things is slow," Koko said. "Few people grow ginger, but many consume it. Ginger has many uses. I've scanned it, and wealthy families use it to make tea on a daily basis. They're not short of ginger."
So the only ones who lack ginger are you poor people.
Manbao thought about it for a while, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
With the donkey cart, they were much faster. Everyone returned to the place where they were yesterday, but found that the laborers had moved a long way forward.
Because the official road was filled with a lot of soil, the renovated areas are much easier to walk on, but it is very dusty when walking on it.
The Laodings saw a donkey cart stopped not far from them, and three particularly familiar little heads popped out from the middle of the cart. They knew that the three children from yesterday had come again.
Someone called out, "Zhou Sanlang, your brothers and sisters are here to see you again."
Everyone was extremely envious of Zhou Sanlang.
Manbao had already jumped out of the car and ran forward with Bai Shanbao carrying a small bookcase. She said hello to Zhou Sanlang and went straight to the officer to continue the issue from yesterday.
Zhou Sanlang, feeling heartbroken and swollen, was about to persuade his sister not to come tomorrow when he was left aside. He said: ...
Manbao said he would ask everyone, and sure enough he asked everyone.
Both she and Bai Shanbao have very good memories. They can remember the appearance of everyone they ask and can even tell about their family situation.
He even found out how many chickens people had at home.
Zhou Liulang looked at his sister for a while, and seeing that she and the young master of the Bai family were holding their notebooks and taking notes while asking questions, he ignored them and cleared out a place in the fields beside the road with Zhou Liulang.
The wooden barrel and cauldron they brought were taken down, and the bones were chopped up at home, but the turnips were still muddy.
Zhou Liulang stayed behind to pick up stones to build a simple stove, while Zhou Wulang carried a bucket to fetch water from a nearby stream.
When they decided on the location for Laoding to build his thatched hut, they chose a place near water so that it would be convenient to get water, so it was not difficult for them to find a water source.
The officer was originally joining in the fun next to Manbao, but when he saw something was wrong here, he wanted to go over and stop them. What was going on?
Manbao took a moment to take a look, then waved his hand to the passing official, "Big brother, don't go and help. My fifth brother and the others might have done it."
The officer couldn't help but stop and asked, "What are they doing?"
Manbao said, "It's stewed meat soup."
She said, "When we came here yesterday, we saw everyone eating cold steamed buns and drinking ice-cold water. You and my third brother are working together, so you're just like my brother. I felt so bad for you, so I went home and told my parents that I would make you some meat soup. That way, even if the steamed buns you get are cold, the hot soup will warm your stomachs."
Manbao said, "Don't worry, it's very cheap, only two cents a bowl. The official brother will also want to eat it later."
The officer's eyes widened, and it took him a while to realize that they had come to this point in their business.
He was a little skeptical. "Is it really broth? Didn't they just boil a pot of water to fool us?"
Manbao was unhappy, "Brother, am I that kind of person?"
The officer stopped talking, but he didn't try to stop him either.
Forget it, as long as they don’t cause trouble on the official road and hinder them from building the road, what’s the big deal about just setting up a stove in the field next to it?
Manbao knew that they would have a break at noon, so he was not in a hurry. He asked ten people. After Bai Shanbao said that his hands were a little sore from writing, they put away their notebooks and planned to take a break before writing again.
After all, the only people who can write decently nowadays are Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang has a more fun project today, and is now happily running around helping Zhou Liulang collect firewood. He doesn't want to listen to those family gossips at all, so Bai Shanbao is the only one taking notes.
After all, Bai Shanbao was young and his hands were delicate, so he got bored after writing for a while. Manbao was also thinking about their family's broth, so he swallowed his saliva and pulled Bai Shanbao over to join in the fun.
Zhou Wulang came back with water and found the cauldron already placed on a block of earth. He poured the water in and threw in the washed pork bones. Zhou Wulang closed the lid and asked Lao Liu to light the fire.
