After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous Chapter 122

Yingbao blinked: "Every disease can be cured, Uncle Wu, you must eat it, your health will be better after eating it."

Wu Daozi smiled and said, "You little girl are really a ghost."

 Speaking, he put the pill in his hand into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and nodded: "Well, it tastes good sour and sweet, and there seems to be hawthorn in it."

Ying Bao smiled awkwardly and peeked at the tumor on his neck. Seeing that it had not grown any more, she breathed a sigh of relief and said mysteriously: "Uncle Wu, don't believe it. My medicine is the best. Even Chen Zhu was cured by me." That's it.”

Wu Daozi shook his fan and asked casually: "Who is Chen Zhu?"

“He is the son of Patriarch Chen. He was seriously injured in his thigh and was about to die. But I healed him.” Ying Bao praised herself vigorously, “Do you think I am good or not?”

Wu Daozi laughed and said, "Awesome."

“Uncle Wu, you must take good medicine so that the knot on your neck won't grow again.” Ying Bao boldly pointed out Magistrate Wu's painful foot.

Wu Daozi was thoughtful, picked up another pill, checked it, and smelled it.

Yingbao looked back at her second uncle and saw that he had retreated to the eaves with Wu Rui, so she said to Wu Daozi: "Uncle Wu, my family also grows a lot of cotton, which can be used for weaving and making cotton clothes and quilts. Ramie is much stronger, do you want to take a look?"

She knew that if Wu Daozi wanted to stand out in the end-of-year assessment, he must do one or two great deeds that benefit the country and the people during his tenure, and his own cotton will definitely be the greatest achievement of the county's parents in the future.

 Once cotton is promoted and cultivated, it will largely solve the problem of clothing and cold protection for the people.

Yingbao didn't understand this at first, but she had read a lot of books, and she knew more or less about official affairs.

 “What cotton?” Wu Daozi was indeed interested.

Yingbao pulled out a bag of cotton from under the bamboo basket, as well as a bunch of cotton thread and a piece of cotton cloth, and showed them to Wu Daozi one by one.

Wu Daozi took it and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. "What species is this? Where did you get it?"

"This is cotton grown by my family. I bought the seeds from a salesman. They are said to be Fanbang seeds." Yingbao told Wu Daozi, "My family planted it last year, and the yield per mu was several hundred kilograms. ”

Wu Daozi suddenly sat up straight and asked Yingbao seriously: "How many households in your area have planted this?"

Ying Bao counted on his hands and said, "There are about a dozen households. They don't grow much. Each household only grows a few acres of land, which is not as much as my family grows."

“Their seeds were also given to you by your family?” Wu Daozi asked, “Is there any left now?”

“Yes, but all the cotton seeds in my family are distributed to the villagers. After the autumn harvest, my family will have a lot of cotton seeds again.”

Wu Daozi stood up and looked at Ying Bao with burning eyes: "Xiao Ying Bao, can this kind of cotton really produce several hundred kilograms per mu?"

“Well, if it is fertile land, it should be more than a few hundred kilograms. Last year, my family produced nearly a thousand kilograms of seed cotton from more than two acres of land. This year, my family planted more than twenty acres, and it is estimated that it can produce ten thousand kilograms of cotton.”

With ten thousand kilograms of cotton, you can spin as many threads as you want and make as many cloths as you want. It is much better than growing ramie.

Wu Daozi's eyes were bright with excitement. He walked back and forth for a few steps with his hands behind his back, then suddenly turned around and walked out.

Yingbao was anxious, she had the most important thing to say yet.

“Uncle Wu, I have one more important thing to tell you.”

 “Huh?” Wu Daozi turned around: “What's the matter?”

Yingbao ran up to him and whispered: "The Wei family in Fucheng wants to reverse the Han family's case."

"The Wei family in Fucheng?" Wu Daozi knew about the Wei family. It was said that his family had a close relationship with a certain county prince.

 “How do you know?” Wu Daozi asked.

Ying Bao then told Chen Laoshuan about going to Fucheng to bring back a group of people.

Wu Daozi touched his chin, thoughtfully.

“Anyway, I am not a child of the Chen family. Uncle Wu, you must not listen to other people's words.”

Ying Bao said everything she wanted to say before she left: "I'm going home. Uncle Wu, if you have time, go to my house and play. Wait until autumn, and the big gourds I planted will grow up. I'll give you two.” Wu Daozi smiled slightly and said, “Okay.”

Yingbao jumped up and down to find her second uncle. When she turned around, she still reminded her: "Uncle Wu, you must take your medicine well. I will come back in a while. My pears are almost ripe, and there are also peaches."

Wu Daozi smiled and nodded.

After coming out of the county government office, Jiang Erlang wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't know whether it was from the heat or something else, but he actually admired his little niece.

I couldn't even talk to Mingfu easily. My niece actually talked so much and even asked senior officials to take her medicine, but Mingfu actually agreed.

Hey, I have to learn from my niece.

It is getting late now, and it would be a bit unsafe to drive dozens of miles home from the county town.

Jiang Erlang simply decided to go back the next day. Now he was just strolling around the county town and buying some things.

This time he and his eldest brother got more than a hundred taels of silver from the sale of fine gold and snow fungus, and they earned back all the extravagances they spent on their previous wives.

 With this money, Jiang Erlang decided to buy something for his wife and children.

Huzi and Erni bought some pens, inks, paper and inkstones, as well as copybooks and books. They also bought some good-looking linens for their wife and children. After that, they parked the mule cart in front of a nunnery and went in alone to ask for Yanru. Return consultation.

The old nun doctor in the nunnery said that women like Yan Ru who have never had menstruation are not easy to conceive, so Jiang Erlang should not have too much hope.

 Jiang Erlang was a little disappointed, but he quickly thought about it.

 Since she already has a son and a daughter, it doesn't matter whether Yan Ru can have children in the future.

 Actually, Jiang Erlang already knew the outcome before marrying Yan Ru. Asking now is just an explanation for himself.

Yanru was once married, but she was divorced by her husband's family because she was barren for three years.

Yan Ru once told Jiang Erlang Ming about this.

 So Jiang Erlang did not ask his parents to hire a matchmaker for him, nor did he let his family know this.

The county seat is eighty or ninety miles away from Chuanhe Town. As long as he doesn't tell Yan Ru or himself, no one in Chen Village will know about it.

Yingbao and his second uncle wandered around the county town, buying books, copybooks and other items for their younger brother, some face butter and rouge powder for their mother-in-law, and finally went to Jiukang Medicine Hall to buy a lot of spicy condiments from the Western Regions.

These spices are very expensive, a few packets cost her twenty taels of silver.

The spices she bought were all with seeds, such as pepper, coriander, garlic, shallots, etc.

When he got home the next day, Ying Bao immediately planted the seed-like spices into the cave and watered them thoroughly.

I don't know if it can survive, but whatever, as long as one tree survives, I will earn it.

This day, Chu Chu came back, bringing her younger brothers Chu Yan and Chu Qing with her.

"Ying Bao, they just came to have a look, there is nothing else. You...you don't mind, right?" Chu Chu pointed her fingers nervously, fearing that Ying Bao would not be happy to send her back.

Yingbao: 'You don't mind. You can take them around. There are apricots on the trees. You can pick some for them to eat. Then follow me to the pond to catch some shrimps. We will have dinner at my house at noon. '

Chu Chu smiled, stepped forward and hugged Ying Bao, "Thank you, Ying Bao."

So a large group of children carried bamboo poles and nets to catch apricots and shrimps.

It's a pity that the pond is not big and the shrimp production is limited. After half a day of fishing, only half a basket was fished out.

While her second cousin was away, Yingbao secretly went to his breeding puddle and fished out half a basket of loaches. Then she took a group of children home with satisfaction.
