Chapter 119

It's almost the new year. People who buy new year's products or parents with children come to the streets.

Throughout the year, adults are willing to spend more money to buy things for children at harvest and new year.

On Friday, Lang's candy business was very good. Even on Thursday, Lang didn't expect that the candy they brought was so popular. A penny a piece. At first, many children were reluctant to buy it, but now they were in line.

Zhou Silang couldn't help thinking. He whispered to Wu Silang, "old five, we can do this business for a long time. Why didn't you come to the county before?"

On Friday, Lang said, "don't think about it. It's the new year. Usually there are not many children on the street who are willing to spend a penny to buy a piece of sugar. Usually our sugar is sold to the lady of the county magistrate's house and the child next door."

Zhou Silang was disappointed and helped sell the candy and recover the money.

Because he also paid his labor today. When he went back in the evening, man Bao divided the money equally after removing the cost. Zhou Silang shared 80 Wen. He was very happy.

Then man Bao collected his money, turned and ran home and said to her mother, "Mom, today we made money selling sugar, and the fourth brother divided 80 Wen."

Qian asked, "why didn't I see you coming to pay tribute?"

Man Bao found that the complaint exposed herself, but after thinking about it, she took her mother's arm and said, "we still need to buy sugar. There won't be much money to pay for it. Mom, how about we don't pay for it in the future?"

Qian nodded her nose and said, "who doesn't know that you and old five sell sugar privately to make money? If you don't pay, don't pay, but with this exception, I ask you, do you have the money of your fifth and sixth brothers? "

Man Bao covered his pocket and said in horror, "Mom, I won't betray five and six brothers."

Qian couldn't help but patted her on the head. "What are you thinking about? Is your mother like that? I just want to ask, "how much did your five brothers and six brothers save with you?"

Although Qian Shi didn't see the money on the little girl, she knew how much, and the child couldn't help spending money, and he still bought food. Don't bother.

But she couldn't guess how many old five and six were.

Man Bao turned and ran away and said, "I won't tell you. I promised five brothers and six brothers."

Qian didn't catch her and let her slip away. She didn't have to ask. After thinking about it, she called Shiro into the house.

When Zhou Silang came out again, his head was bowed. He glanced in the yard. He didn't see man Bao, so he went out. After walking for a while, he heard a sound in the vegetable garden and followed him.

Seeing man Bao squatting on the ground and chatting happily with everyone, he came forward angrily and shouted, "man Bao! Did you snitch with your mother? "

Man Bao raised his head from the crowd. When he saw his fourth brother, he ran up and took his sign language center of gravity and said, "fourth brother, I'm doing it for you."

Zhou sirang was half dead with anger. Why did he save 80 Wen for his good?

"Do you think it's good for me to tell my mother you saved money? There's nothing. Instead, I let my mother know that we made money and didn't pay the public. "

Zhou sirang was even more angry, "so you hurt others rather than yourself."

"Who said, I'm hurting me and benefiting you. You still owe your family money now. As a result, you make money but don't take the initiative to pay it back. What do you think if your parents, brothers and sisters know in the future?" Man Bao said, "your reputation is bad, and it will be worse in the future. I'm doing it for you."

Man Bao said, "and what's the use of keeping money? Will you bet again? "

"I won't gamble."

"Since you don't gamble, what do you do with the money?" Man Bao asked him, "are you willing to take money to buy meat for your family? Are you willing to buy new clothes? "

Zhou sirang:... Not willing!

"You see, I know you're not willing at first sight, so don't you have to pay back the money in the end? Since I have to pay back the money, it's better to pay it early than late. Fourth brother, I've been scolded by my mother for your sake. I don't pay the money. You haven't thanked me yet... "

Zhou Silang thought man Bao was right, but he wouldn't believe her. How could she be a person who benefits others at the expense of herself?

On Thursday, Lang listened to her without expression and decided not to see her, so he broke away from her hand and went back.

But man Bao grabbed his hand, "fourth brother, since you're here, let's see our ginger. Our ginger is growing so big that we can plant ginger in the field after the new year."

"So fast?" When it came to his wasteland, Zhou Silang was more serious and asked, "have you asked, when are ginger blocks usually sown?"

Man Bao included a piece of ginger, and the entry of ginger has long come out. The entry says that it can germinate only at a temperature above 16 ℃.

Man Bao doesn't know what is 16 degrees Celsius. Koko says it's when flowers bloom in spring.

Anyway, she used straw to keep ginger warm. Now it sprouted and grew. She thought she could do the same on that land.

And spring will begin after the new year. She asked her sister-in-law. She said that she would be busy sowing in the first month.

So man Bao planned, "when it's sunny after 15, we'll take out the ginger and dry it for a few days before planting it in the field."

Ginger's entry says that it's best to cut the ginger into pieces, remove the necrotic part, soak it with plant ash, and then dry it for seven or eight days.

This can prevent ginger from getting sick.

Man Bao thinks this planting method is similar to yam.

She also asked Koko, do all the pieces growing under the soil like to soak in the ash water of plants and trees before drying?

Keke has tested it in the system and found that it is true that most tuber plants recommend such planting methods. However, in the future, people will soak nutrient solution potions. There is no specific potion here, so they can only soak the water of plant ash, which is better than nothing.

Yam was planted earlier than ginger. They had been dried long ago and had been bred in the kitchen before.

No way, yam breeding takes about 20 days, and these 20 days need a relatively warm environment. In addition to their respective sleeping rooms, the kitchen is the warmest.

Man Bao couldn't have put yams stained with plant ash and with a strange smell in the house, so he put them in the kitchen.

In a corner not far from the stove, they piled a lot of straw to keep warm there.

When the kitchen burns a fire, the light of the fire will shine on it, which is still very warm. Moreover, during the coldest period of time, the family are used to baking in the kitchen and can also warm them.

At first, man Bao didn't know whether it was useful, but the weather turned warm these days and the sun came out every day. Keke reminded her that it was almost time. Man Bao took a look at the straw and found that some yam tubers had sprouted.
