Man Bao became curious. Although she had never planted anything, she had often watched her brother and sister-in-law grow things. She knew that planting things meant digging a hole and throwing the seeds down.
I never knew there were so many ways to deal with it.
Being so curious, Manbao spent his points to buy several books about planting from the encyclopedia. Keke did not expect to have such an unexpected gain. He became happy and suggested to Manbao: "Host, you can let you
Brothers, go and find the leftovers that you removed earlier. As long as they are not rotten, they can still be used as seeds."
Man Bao happily agreed.
Yams are not that easy to find. Except for the twenty-odd rhizomes and scraps that Wulang and his team dug back from the ground, Zhouzuolang did not find any more yams in the mountains.
So Manbao and the others attached great importance to the remaining tubers and scraps. Although she still wanted to eat yams, she held back.
Seeing that her daughter was drooling over a yam, Mrs. Qian thought for a while and said to Xiao Qian: "Let Erlang go to the market tomorrow to buy a piece of meat. The third son is going to serve, so he should make up for it. This
Everyone has been tired for a while."
Xiao Qian responded.
The Bai family's house has been under construction for more than 20 days, and it has now taken shape. However, Mr. Liu has strict requirements and even has carvings on some pillars. Special master craftsmen are invited to do the construction, so the speed is slower.
But being slow also has its advantages, because their wages are calculated on a daily basis.
Zhou Dalang and Zhou Lang worked together for sixty cents a day.
Wages are settled once every ten days, and so far, they have gotten back 1,200 yuan.
Zhou Dalang only handed over 60% of his money, but Zhou Dalang handed over all of his money to pay off his gambling debts.
Zhou Lang felt that work could make more money faster than clearing land. For this reason, he resisted Man Bao, thinking that clearing land was useless, so he wanted to throw the land into waste again.
In the end, she was ruthlessly suppressed by Man Bao who had already planned it. Of course, she couldn't suppress the fourth brother, so she borrowed her father's influence.
When Lao Zhou first heard that Lao Si had to worry about the beginning and end of his work, he glared and said, "How long can you do the work? As soon as Mrs. Bai's house is completed, you can prepare the land for me immediately."
Zhou Lang said weakly: "It's freezing cold..."
"It's freezing cold and your third brother is still serving in the army, so you can't go to the ground?"
Zhou Lang lowered his head and surrendered.
Man Bao made a proud face at him, and Zhou Lang felt that he was not clearing land for himself, but simply for Man Bao.
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang secretly had fun and happily drank two more bowls of water.
It was Man Bao who had the idea to plant yam, and the two of them took action. They had already anticipated next year's harvest.
If the fourth brother does not continue to open up wasteland, then the two brothers will have no choice but to do it themselves.
However, this money-making plan will only happen next year, and it will only happen after the autumn harvest next year. A group of children still feel that their candy business cannot be left behind. Wu Lang will now go to the county town every other day, and he has become the Fu family's provider.
Sugar tycoon.
Of course, he sealed this himself.
Because even if he went to the county town every other day, he could only sell a hundred candies. After the initial novelty, the children of the Fu family and the children of their relatives could not eat so many candies.
But Wu Lang was still a little proud to be the exclusive candy for the county magistrate's family, so he gave himself this title.
Although he could only earn a hundred cents every other day, and the three brothers and sisters had to divide the hundred cents between them, he still accumulated a lot of money in one month.
Manbao is also responsible for "buying candy" and has more money than his two brothers.
But she only spent a lot, buying some meat every now and then, or buying a chicken.
Yes, she insists on buying meat from home, euphemistically saying it is for her mother’s health.
Sometimes I gave money to Wulang and asked Wulang to buy it back when he went to the county town. Sometimes I went to the village chief's house and Zhou Hu's house to stare at their chickens.
Then after watching it, they sold the chicken to her.
So she couldn't save any money and basically spent whatever she had.
The Zhou family is used to her buying meat every now and then, and they already know that they are making money secretly. Although they don't know exactly what they do to make money, it doesn't look like they are doing bad things.
In addition, everyone in the Zhou family estimated that all the money Man Bao earned was converted into meat, so they just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know and let them have fun.
As a result, the living standard of the Zhou family has improved a lot. In the past, they might not be able to eat meat once in a month or two, but now they can eat it every three or two days.
Not only did the children's faces become more rosy, Qian also looked a little more energetic.
Also because the benefits are obvious and considering that the family members have recently gone out to work and go up to the mountains to chop firewood, Mrs. Qian is willing to use her father's money to buy meat once.
After eating this meal of meat, Zhou Lang went to serve in the army with his baggage on his back.
This year, due to Manbao's advance notice, all the families in the village who were going to serve in the army had made preparations earlier. Like the Zhou family, many families helped the men who were serving in the army to get well before they went out.
Everyone walked together carrying their baggage, and the movement was quite spectacular.
Manbao and a group of friends squatted in the grass and watched them go away. Then they emerged from the grass and said, "It turns out that Baimaguan Town is in that direction."
Bai Erlang despised her, "You don't even know Baimaguan Town, you are so stupid."
Man Bao looked at him and said, "Have you been to Baimaguan Town?"
Bai Erlang was proud, "Of course, I often follow my father to collect rent."
Man Bao: "Then do you know the way?"
Bai Erlang shouted: "Of course I know you, I've been there several times."
"Then you take us there."
Bai Erlang asked: "Why are you going to Baimaguan Town?"
Man Bao: "We're going to see what it's like to serve."
Bai Shanbao nodded, "We have to record it."
Bai Erlang was confused, "Why do you remember this?"
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao both despised Bai Erlang's IQ. They looked at him and sighed: "You don't understand even if I tell you, but we should still talk to you. Sir, there is no distinction between education and distinction."
Bai Erlang: Don't think he can't hear that this is a bad thing.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao pulled Bai Erlang to tell him their plan. Man Bao felt that the county magistrate was really not a good person when he made people work without giving him enough to eat.
Mr. Ke Zhuang said that this is a common phenomenon and is not limited to their county.
There are even some counties where the county magistrates are more stringent, or the county offices are poorer, and they don't even have a little bit of dry food, and they all rely on the laborers to bring their own food.
It is difficult to change this situation.
But Manbao still asked about the method if ordinary people want to change a certain phenomenon. Mr. Zhuang said that they can only become an official and work hard to become a high official and then put forward their own political opinions.
Or, write a famous article so that insightful people in the court can see your article, resonate with it, and commit to change.
Being an official was too far away and Man Bao didn't consider it, so she and Bai Shanbao decided to write an article after discussing it.
But to write an article, you need to know how Laudin served, so they had to go and take a look.
