Chapter 497 The old doctor is sick

What can Man Bao do? She can only look at Fifth Brother sympathetically, then pat her buttocks and stand up, saying, "Fifth Brother, you should prepare to go out and sell ginger."

Friday Lang got up and said, "Man Bao, both father and mother said that they will plant less ginger this year. Last year, because of the ginger planted in your small farm, our family did not sell all the ginger. As a result, this year, the people in the village also We have started to sell ginger outside, if we hadn’t found a merchant from Linxian to pick up the goods, it is estimated that the ginger at home would be even more difficult to sell.”

Man Bao said indifferently: "Isn't that old ginger? It is dug out and dried in the shade, made into dried ginger, and sold in pharmacies. It is also very valuable. If the ginger cannot be sold, it will be kept for another year."

Now that she is studying medicine, she knows that dried ginger has many uses and is very big, so she knows that this thing will not be much, so she confidently said to Wu Lang: "Just plant it, it will definitely sell."

When Wu Wulang heard this, his spirit was lifted, and he said, "I also have land. Dad dislikes that I have a particularly slanted land and it is sandy soil, so I don't want to plant it. I want to plant ginger on it."

"Will it be stolen?"

When Wuwu Lang heard this, he hesitated. If the precious things were planted too far away, they would not know if they were stolen, so their ginger, yam and other things would not be planted very far, just not far from the village entrance. .

Even during harvest time, a straw hut was erected there, and the brothers could take turns to guard with a bed and a blanket.

But the place is too far away.

Wu Wulang sighed, "If only I had given birth a few years earlier, not all the good ones would be taken away, and the good daughters-in-law would not be all married."

Man Bao:  …

"Fifth brother, you can plant privet seed. Isn't the privet seed that we planted on the back of the mountain quite big? When you cut the branches and insert them, no one should steal it."

"No one steals it, but it's not easy to plant. Originally we planted about 30 trees, and we served them with good water and fertilizer. In the end, only 18 trees survived, and they are almost half dead." Sadako is not worth as much as ginger, one is that the price is slightly inferior, the other is that the privet must be cooked up, and the third is that it grows too slowly.

"The privet seed has been planted for two years, and the results have not yet begun to bear fruit. I don't know if it will bear fruit next year, and how much it will bear."

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Let's take it slow. You have to think about the good. This privet seed will not need to be replanted for a long time, unlike ginger, which has to be planted every year."

"Who said you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry? You can't eat it if you're not in a hurry. You can see that when you make tofu at home, everyone keeps piling on it as soon as it comes up. If you take it easy, it's your turn."

When Man Bao heard it, yes, he said to Keke in his heart, "Keke, I learned this sentence from you, and you have to be responsible."

Koko ignored her.

The two brothers and sisters have already talked about tofu stuffing from tofu, "Sister-in-law's tofu stuffed is really delicious, Manbao, after the winter solstice, do you still ask sister-in-law to make it well?"

Tofu stuffed is written in a food book that Manbao bought from the Encyclopedia. In addition to tofu stuffed, there are many soy products.

But if you just look at the picture, Man Bao likes this dish the most, so he first pestered Xiao Qian to make this dish.

However, to make this dish, tofu needs to be deep-fried to make tofu bubbles, so it is not often eaten by the old Zhou family.

Because not only Lao Zhou's head is distressed about oil, but Qian's and Xiao Qian's are also distressed.

But tomorrow is the winter solstice, so it will be different. Today, Xiao Qian's family made tofu stuffed, and there will be some food tomorrow, but it will be different after the winter solstice.

Friday Lang told Man Bao: "You have to leave me two tofu stuffed, don't eat it up."

"Don't worry, fifth brother, you won't eat it all."

"What are you two mumbling about?" Zhou Xi put the cleaned ginger in the back basket and said to Wu Wulang, "Your second brother and fourth brother are waiting for you, hurry up."

Friday Lang responded, went up to carry the basket, and turned around to emphasize to Man Bao, "Remember to keep two tofu stuffed for me."

Zhou Xi couldn't help but laugh, "He's greedy."

Man Bao smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, sniffed and said, "Eldest sister, I'm greedy too."

"You, half the eldest son eats the poor old man, so many people in the family eat, don't you see Dad worrying?"

"This year is a harvest year, what is Daddy worried about?" Man Bao said, "Daddy is not worried, Daddy is used to digging."

"Who said I was used to digging?" Old Zhou Tou suddenly appeared in the yard, staring at the two girls.

Man Bao immediately left the eldest sister and ran into the kitchen in a hurry, "Dad, I'll see if the eldest sister-in-law has prepared the breakfast."

Old Zhou Tou muttered a few words and went into the hall with his hands behind his back.

During the winter solstice holiday, the children of the entire old Zhou family do not have to go to school, but the husband has assigned a lot of homework, so everyone is working hard at this time.

After finishing their homework in the morning, they can go out and play all day.

Man Bao's homework is more and deeper than theirs, so she plans to go to Bai's house to find Bai Shanbao to do homework together after eating the delicious food.

It's just that before she could go out, a guest came to her door.

Wednesday Lang led a young man in and shouted, "Man Bao, the old man from the old doctor's family is looking for you."

Man Bao was waiting for the tofu stuffed to come out of the pot. Hearing that, he looked out and saw the familiar Lu Dalang.

He is the eldest grandson of the old doctor, and Man Bao can always see him when he asks the old doctor for advice.

Man Bao hurried out to greet him, "Brother Lu, what are you looking for from me?"

After Lu Gui bowed, he said, "My grandfather wants to see you."

"Huh?" Man Bao first glanced back at the kitchen, sniffed and asked reluctantly, "Are you in a hurry?"

If you are not in a hurry, wait for her to eat breakfast first.

Lu Gui hurriedly said, "My grandfather is ill. Last night, he told me to come to you early in the morning, saying that there was something I wanted to tell you."

"Oh, I'm sick, what's the disease, is it serious?"

Seeing Man Bao's concern, Lu Gui smiled and said, "It's just that I have a cold, but my grandfather is old, so he's not very good at recuperating, and his temper is a bit strange."

Man Bao has always liked the old doctor very much, but he didn't think he was strange, so he said, "Then wait a moment, I'll go get something."

On Wednesday, Lang asked Lu Guixian to sit down and drink a bowl of water. Old Zhoutou and Mrs. Qian also came out of the room and asked the old doctor's condition with concern, and she assigned Zhou Lang to say, "Follow your sister. have a look."

Wednesday Lang should go.

The three of them went to Dali Village together. On the way, Man Bao asked the old doctor's condition in detail.

It's actually very simple. It's getting colder these days. I don't know if it's because the old doctor got up early, or the cold wind was blowing when he woke up. After eating it, although it didn't get worse, it didn't get better, instead it became lingering.
