The Bai family chose a place, went to the county seat to reserve materials, and started construction on an auspicious day.

This was a particularly lively event in the village, because the wages paid by the Bai family were high, and villagers from several nearby villages came to apply.

Old Zhoutou went there by himself.

The Bai family selected and hired some people. The house needed to be built quite big, and a lot of wood, stone, etc. were needed. All of this had to be done by people.

The whole village became lively, and the children especially liked to run to watch the excitement. Manbao also ran around to watch with great interest. When he returned home in the evening, the Zhou family was also talking about it.

Among those who went to the Zhou family, only Zhou Dalang and Zhou Lang were selected. Zhou Dalang was not selected, and Zhou Lang did not go with him because he needed to rest to cope with the labor.

Because the winter solstice is approaching, there are a lot of things to prepare at home. Qian specially took out the money at home and counted it. Of course, she couldn't hide this from her roommate Man Bao.

Man Bao also volunteered to keep accounts for her.

Qian glanced at Man Bao and agreed.

In fact, they made a lot of money during this period, but they also kept spending money. Thinking that the third child was going to serve in the army and it was winter, she allocated some money and planned to buy him some cotton to fill his clothes.

You need to add a little more to your clothes, and they must be made of fabric.

Qian set aside another part, and then asked Manbao to remember the rest.

Manbao asked, "Mom, is our family rich now?"

"No, this little money is not enough to celebrate the New Year. We still have to survive after spring starts." Qian sighed, "Your flower basket business is gone, otherwise the family will still have some income."

Man Bao said: "We can sell yams."

"Where can we look for it?" Qian said, "We dare not go into the deep mountains. If we go to shallow places, we might not be able to find it even if we walk all over it."

"Then we can plant it ourselves."

"How to grow this thing? We have never heard of it before, but we don't dare to plant it randomly. And where can we get the seeds?"

Man Bao pondered. The entry for yam has not come out yet, and the points have not been reduced, but she feels that yam can be grown, because Keke has said that although yam was extinct in its era, it was still possible to grow it some time ago.

In the Earth Era, this was a very common thing, and people ate it like they were eating cabbage.

Since it is as common as water spinach, it means it can be grown.

Man Bao asked Ke Ke.

The system silently searched for some information and showed it to Man Bao, using its own privileges and confiscating her points.

Man Bao read most of the information, and the next day he found Wu Lang and Liu Lang, "Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, I have already thought about what to plant in Fourth Brother's land?"

"What to plant?" Zhou Wulang asked: "What else can he grow in that wasteland besides beans? Dad has already said that he will give him two kilograms of bean seeds next year and he will return them after the summer harvest."

"What's the point of planting beans? If we want to plant them, we can plant yams!"

Wu Lang rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you know how to plant it?"

Man Bao said confidently: "I almost know it."

"What does it mean to almost know? If you know, you know. If you don't know, you don't know."

"I haven't planted it before, haven't I seen it? Brother Wu, we all looked at it when we went to dig yams. Let's plant them according to the way they grow. I see it has vines. Let's give it a shelf.

Climb up, dig some more soil in the mountains, put it back, and water it more, and that’s it.”

Saturday Lang asked: "Why do you need to dig the soil?"

"It likes to grow there, it must be because it likes to eat the soil there. We dug the soil back and spread it in our land. After planting it, of course it likes to grow."

The brothers always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

Man Bao encouraged them, "When the yams are grown, we will have a share. The fourth brother must share some of the money earned with us."

Man Bao said that she would discuss this with Fourth Brother.

Wu Lang was not worried that his fourth brother would not agree, but he asked, "Where can we get yam seeds? No, do yam have seeds?"

Man Bao said: "Didn't several pieces of yam break off in the soil last time we dug it? Dig it back."

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang opened their mouths, "Well, can that be planted?"

Keke already said that tubers can be used as seeds, so she nodded confidently, "It's definitely possible."

"What about digging it back?"

"We'll talk about it after we dig it out." Although Man Bao now has a clue, he's not sure yet. But, who cares, just take it one step at a time.

Because Manbao is the only scholar in the family, and a lot of the money the family has made recently is due to her ideas, Wulang and Liulang subconsciously listened to her opinions without knowing it.

Not only Zhou Lang is like this, but Zhou Lang will now listen to Man Bao's opinions.

Man Bao pestered him and asked him to go into the mountains to find yams. He also said: "Don't pull them out. Bring them back with the vines. Maybe the vines can also be used as seeds."

Zhou Erlang thought what she said made sense. Where could he go into the mountains to find the best place to grow his own?

Maybe next year their family will really be able to harvest a batch of yams.

Man Bao also warned again: "Second brother, if you see a plant in the mountains that I haven't seen before, you must pull it back and give it to me."

Zhou Erlang responded as usual, but this time he finally became more serious and asked Man Bao, "What plants have you seen?"

Man Bao drew a big circle and said, "I've seen everything in the village. Second brother, just look at what's not in the village and on that mountain, and bring me some of it back."

Zhou Erlang smiled and touched her head and said with a smile: "Okay!"

"Host, the points for Ligustrum lucidum and Yam have arrived together." Keke suddenly said, Manbao's eyes lit up, he ran back to the room, hid in his quilt and looked at the points.

When the system saw Man Bao's consciousness coming in, it opened the page and showed her that the reward points for Ligustrum lucidum were five thousand and those for Chinese yam were two thousand and five.

"Both of these plants have a very important position in history. They are not only valuable for the study of botany, but also have reference value for the study of the society and humanities at that time, so the points reward is relatively high."

The system saved all the points and said at the same time: "The entries for other plants previously collected by the host are also being produced and are expected to arrive in the next two days. Host, you have earned so many points, why don't you reward yourself with something in exchange?

?"

He took out the beautiful bag again and showed it to Man Bao.

Man Bao looked and looked, and when he had seen enough, he said: "No, I want my sister-in-law to make it for me. Please let me take another look at my mother's medicine."

Keke could only mix the tube of potion and show it to her.

Man Bao admired the green potion and said with satisfaction: "Koke, don't worry, I will definitely include many, many plants. Maybe next year I will be able to collect enough points to buy medicine for my mother."

Keke couldn't bear to hit her, but still couldn't help but said: "It's difficult, host, consider buying other things, not expensive and cheap. You have more points now, and you still buy candies with one point a day. It's really too much."

It’s a waste of points.”
