"Behave yourself! If you have to fart, come on!" Old Lady Xu was so angry that she couldn't hold back any longer. Xu Ning quickly put on a businessman's face and said, "Granny, sweet popsicles are ten cents each. Is there a market for them? Oh, can they be sold? When we get to the next town, let's sell popsicles for two days. Do you think that's feasible?"
"Ten cents for a piece of sweetened ice?" Old Mrs. Xu asked uncertainly.
"Yes." Xu Ning felt that it should not be expensive.
"Xu Daya, do you know how much a piece of ice costs?"
"I don't know!" Anyway, she has saltpeter, which she can use as long as she has water. It's very profitable and can be recycled indefinitely!
"You, that's not how you sell ice. Who in a poor family can afford ice? You do have a way, but grandma doesn't want you to use it."
"Given our family's current situation, we absolutely cannot use the ice-making method." Old Mrs. Xu could imagine what would happen to the family once Xu Ning's method was discovered. This method that could make a lot of money was too coveted!
"Let me think about selling ice cream. Even if you want to sell it, you have to buy ice cream first. Do you understand, Big Boss?"
"I know!" Xu Ning was secretly delighted, because Old Lady Xu did not refuse. Consideration means there is a chance!
"Grandma, how about we sell a couple of baskets of yams when we get to the city soon, along with a recipe for a yam dish? That would give us some start-up capital, wouldn't it?"
"Daya, what is start-up capital?" Xu Da asked curiously after finishing the popsicle in his hand and sucking on the wood chip.
"It's the capital for doing business!" Xu Ning had a strange smile on his face and opened his mouth to say something else, but Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her and she immediately closed her throat, and the words that didn't come out of her mouth turned into "Hehehehehehe"!
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later. Let's go now while it's still warm. If it gets hot later, we won't be able to walk!"
After saying that, Old Lady Xu pulled Xu Ning over and asked her to go with her. This girl is a troublemaker and can give you a "surprise" when you are not paying attention!
She should just watch it!
"Grandma, I can walk by myself." Xu Ning staggered when Old Lady Xu pulled her. Her legs were shorter than Old Lady Xu's, so she had to jog to catch up with her pace.
"Hurry up and leave, or I'll tie you up if you keep chirping!"
Xu Ning's mouth was blocked by a clam, and the scene of being tied up was too beautiful for her to imagine.
On the other side, the people in Xujia Village waited for a long time but didn't see Xu Ning's family coming over, and they looked a little anxious.
"Dad, did Xu Daya's family run away?" Xu Qianqian sat under the tree impatiently. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, making her very irritable.
"I don't know. Shut up. I'm annoyed when I hear you talking!" The village chief of Xujia Village remembered that Xu Ning's family seemed to be packing up last night, and he knew something was wrong. Xu Laogen must have taken his people in another direction.
Xu Qianqian looked aggrieved and blamed Xu Ning for all her anger. She hatefully imagined that when she married a rich and powerful man, she would capture Xu Ning and torture him severely!
"Xiaohu, go and see why Uncle Lao Gen and his family haven't arrived yet!" The village chief of Xujia Village walked up to Xu Xiaohu. It was so hot just a few steps away that people were sweating.
"Okay, uncle village chief, please take care of my mother. I'll go now." Xu Xiaohu's mother was also sitting in the shade under the tree. When she heard her son's words, she didn't even raise her head. She lowered her head and picked the wild vegetables that Xu Xiaohu had picked on the ground.
The village chief of Xujia Village glanced at Xu Xiaohu's mother Gu Xiangchun and nodded to Xu Xiaohu.
Xu Xiaohu immediately ran to the place where Xu Ning's family had stayed last night. Seeing that everyone was gone, he breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face. After secretly letting out a breath, he immediately changed his expression and ran back.
"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Lao Gen and the others are gone, there's no one over there!"
"Where are the others? Have you asked them?" The face of the village chief of Xujia Village was filled with anxiety. Xu Xiaohu was just pretending to be anxious, and he also became anxious after being asked this question.
"Uncle village chief, everyone over there has left!" After all, the weather was so hot that the village chief of Xujia Village was worried, so he sent a smart person to check. Sure enough, he saw that there was not even a piece of bird droppings left in that area.
The village chief of Xujia Village was furious, but in the end he had no choice but to lead his people and continue walking south.
"Bao, can I get a drone instead?"
"Hello players, the main system has just released a new drone with an automatic navigation system. It has its own satellite and signal network, a 24-hour flight time, and high-resolution real-time image transmission. It only costs 108,888 points!"
Xu Ning blurted out a Chinese quintessence, "How much?"
"Hello player, one hundred eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight."
"Baby, how much commission did the main system give you?" You are so cheated! ?
"Hello player, Ten... Zizi Treasure Chest can't understand what you mean!"
Xu Ning rolled his eyes and said, "Let's eat the rice field together. It's so expensive, I can't afford it, but I want it so much!"
Xu Ning secretly comforted himself that with it, the journey would be much safer. With it, he could find more food. With it, he might even discover other treasures.
"Bao, this is too expensive. It only has automatic navigation, no scanning function, no warning, and only 24 hours of battery life. It's not worth it. I don't want it." Xu Ning pretended not to care, and the treasure box replied soon.
"Hello player, we've already communicated with the main system. While the price remains the same, we've added an early warning function and solar charging for 15 minutes, giving you an additional hour of battery life."
"No, no, my eyesight is not good. I don't want this without the automatic recognition function."
"..." The treasure chest made another series of electric sounds. "Hello player, do you want to import the encyclopedia data into the drone?"
"Zizizi, hello player, the main system has promised you that as long as your mission progress reaches 20%, the drone will not only have scanning capabilities, but will also provide artificial intelligence services!"
"Artificial intelligence? Dad?" Xu Ning stopped and asked the treasure chest: "Bao, how far have I come in this mission?"
"Hello player, your mission progress is only 1.68 seconds away from reaching 20%!"
"I understand!" At noon, when the Xu family stopped to rest, Xu Ning came back with a knife and chopped a piece of fresh wood.
"Dabao, Xiaobao, Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma! Come here quickly, I have something to tell you!"
"Look, what's different about the cross-section of this wood?" Xu Ning pointed at the growth rings on the cross-section. Old Mrs. Xu was the first to speak up: "It's just a few circles! Don't all trees have them?"
"Yes, there are trees, so why does the circle look like this?" Teacher Xu asked again?
"Why?" Curious baby Xu Xiaobao repeated.
"Because the amount of rain varies from year to year, when there's more rain, the trees grow fatter. Look at this. Isn't the distance between the circles larger?"
"It really is!" Xu Da looked at the annual rings that his daughter was pointing at.
"This is quite similar to humans. Eating too much will easily lead to weight gain, haha!" Old Man Xu couldn't help laughing!
"You're right, Master! Then why is the circle of this tree wide on one side and narrow on the other?"
"Daya, what is this circle?" Zhang asked back.
"Trend rings can be used to identify directions when the sun isn't shining. They can also tell which way to go. The wetter the soil, the more likely it is to find water! For example, this side represents south, and that other side is north. Also..." (Blah blah, old geography knowledge launches an attack)
