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.
Keke 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. Their yields are different."
Manbao took a look and found that everything here was sold in units of five kilograms, with no units of one kilogram.
But the price for five kilograms is not very high, only ten points.
Manbao was very surprised, "Why is your ginger so cheap?"
Koko said: "Because there are many of them and they are easy to reproduce."
In order to fully demonstrate how easy it is to grow ginger, Koko also told her a story.
"There is a little story about ginger. It is said that in ancient times, ahem, the ancient times of our time, should be not long after your time."
Manbao: ...So she is an ancient person from ancient times?
Suddenly, Manbao felt a sense of pride. What should he do?
Humph, I am your ancestor.
"There were two families whose vegetable gardens were adjacent to each other, but they did not get along well with each other. One of the families planted ginger in their vegetable garden, not far from the fence." Koko continued to tell the story, "The other family also wanted to plant ginger, but because of their disagreement, it was difficult to ask the other family for permission. So she spread a layer of manure in her vegetable garden next to the ginger field, and watered it from time to time, weeded it, and loosened the soil."
"Before winter, ginger would grow from under the fence and sprout in her field. From then on, she also had ginger plants."
Manbao screamed twice in his heart, extremely surprised.
"So as long as the soil is fertile enough, ginger is very easy to grow. One crop can produce ten, and ten can produce a hundred. It couldn't be easier."
Manbao was so excited when he saw the five-pound bags of ginger in the mall that he bought one without hesitation.
Keke received the goods for her, and then saved them in the system, saying, "Remember to buy a donkey when you get the money from growing ginger and selling it."
He said, "You can also buy various useful items in the mall with the points you get after collecting the donkey."
Manbao nodded perfunctorily, already planning in his mind how to grow the ginger.
But she was very curious, "If ginger is so easy to grow, why is there so little of it? Ginger is so expensive."
"It may be because the information transmission in your era is backward and the circulation of things is slow," Koko said, "Few people grow ginger, but many consume it. Ginger has many uses. I have scanned it and found that rich families use it to make tea on a daily basis. There is no shortage 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 same place as yesterday, only to find that the laborers had moved a long way forward.
Because the official road
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 off the car, and ran forward with Bai Shanbao, carrying a small bookcase on her back. She said hello to Zhou Sanlang and went straight to the officer to continue discussing yesterday's issue.
Zhou Sanlang, who was about to persuade his sister not to come tomorrow, was left aside. He:...
Manbao said he would ask everyone, and indeed he did ask everyone.
Both she and Bai Shanbao have excellent memories. They can remember the appearance of each person they ask and can even tell about the other person's 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 obediently 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 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 Lao Ding to build the thatched house, 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 strange was happening here, he wanted to go over and stop them. What was going on?
Manbao took the time to take a look, then waved his hand to the officer who was walking by, "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 icy water. You and my third brother work together, so you are the same as my brother. I felt so bad, so I went home and told my parents that I would make you some meat soup. This way, even if the steamed buns you get are cold, the hot soup can warm your stomachs."
Manbao said, "Don't worry, it's very cheap, only two cents a bowl, and the officer 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 said nothing more, but did not go over to stop him either.
Forget it, as long as it doesn’t cause trouble on the official road and hinder their road construction, 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 the 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 activity today, and is now happily helping Zhou Liulang collect firewood. He doesn't want to listen to those family gossips at all, so Bai Shanbao took all the notes by himself.
Bai Shanbao was young and his hands were delicate after all, 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. Then he closed the lid and asked Laoliu to light the fire.
