Jinzi, a half-grown child, was responsible for greeting the uncles and aunts who came with them. He shuttled among them like a little swallow, serving tea and passing peanuts and edamame.

The whole hall was bustling with activity.

Zhang Sheng didn't expect that the thing he had been worried about could be solved so easily.

The girl from the host family was completely different from what they had imagined, so kind.

The atmosphere was tense, and Gu Manzhu calmly brought up the topic she wanted to ask.

"After you harvested the rice, what did you do with the remaining land?"

When Zhang Sheng heard her ask this, he recalled their previous methods and said, "After we harvest rice, we usually don't plant anything else in the fields. We wait until the next spring, plow the fields, store water, and plant rice seedlings again."

When Gu Manzhu heard this, it was exactly what she thought. The people here did not make the land fertile before planting.

Seeing that she suddenly fell into deep thought, the people in the main room began to speak in a lower voice, not daring to disturb her.

Seeing this, Xu Bo waved his hand and explained that it was okay and asked them to continue.

Gu Manzhu then asked where the rice husks went.

Zhang Sheng's wife Fangzi explained in detail where the rice husks went.

Some of it was used to feed chickens, ducks and pigs, and most of it was used as firewood for cooking.

Upon hearing this, Gu Manzhu really wanted to complain about the waste of resources. In the previous life, these rice husks were a good thing for improving soil quality. Now burning them in a fire is simply a cruelty to nature.

After silently complaining in her heart, she asked another question: "Sister Fang, what about the ash left after burning firewood in your stove? How do you deal with it?"

Fangzi was stunned when she heard this. What could be done with the ashes from burning firewood? The only thing to do was to throw them away. She spoke carefully and described how they had thrown away the ashes before.

Ordinary people usually don't clean the ashes in the stove often. Basically, every family waits until the ashes are full, cleans them out, puts them in a sack, and then carries them away to throw away before the New Year.

When Gu Manzhu heard this, she thought that every household in the village now had firewood ash stored. This was really good news. She had been worried about having no place to collect firewood ash. Now it was really easy to get it.

She roughly calculated the time. It was now early September. If she started making compost now, it would probably take two or three months. Then she would not be able to plant the medicinal herbs as planned this year. However, if she didn't turn the land over and improve the soil, she probably wouldn't be able to grow the medicinal herbs.

After much thought, I decided to sacrifice the small for the big. Only by spending these few months can I reap rewards, otherwise everything will be in vain in the end.

After making the decision, Gu Manzhu quietly told Xu Bo that she wanted to buy rice husks, match ashes, and feces from various livestock from the villagers.

She had originally thought of telling Zhang Sheng and his group right now, but she decided to let Uncle Xu buy it privately.

After asking all they wanted to know, Gu Manzhu and Xu Bo stood up and said goodbye.

What they didn't know was that as soon as they disappeared from view, the people in the main room suddenly became chattering, and all the villagers were discussing Gu Manzhu, the daughter of the main family.

The old man with a beard said: "It seems that this girl is a good person. God has not treated us unfairly and has given us such a way out!"

"Yes, yes, if we work hard, things will get better and better!"

"That's right, the lady from the host family seems to be kind and will treat us well!"

A skinny man suddenly burst into tears: "My mother is saved. I will work hard to earn money for her medical treatment!"

The originally lively villagers suddenly fell silent and all sighed. A bearded old man came over and patted him on the shoulder.

Although Yuming State was a powerful country, the peasants were still poor. This skinny man had a sick mother at home, but he had no money to see a doctor. How miserable!

Jinzi was in a daze. He saw a fairy today, and the fairy came to his house. Moreover, his father and uncles seemed very excited.

In the yard at the foot of Tiger Mountain, Gu Manzhu and Xu Bo, who had already returned, were sitting at the clean stone table in the yard.

Gu Manzhu explained in detail what she had just said to Xu Bo.

"Uncle Xu, I just wanted to buy the match ash and rice husks, as well as the feces of various animals from the villagers. You can quietly hire a few people to buy them, but don't use our name."

Xu Bo was a little puzzled. "Why can't they purchase it in our name? It would be more convenient if we purchase it ourselves."

"Uncle Xu, if it were you, and a landlord came to the village and bought up the things you don't usually use, what would you do?"

“It will raise the price!”

Xu Bo suddenly realized that he was only thinking about convenience but did not consider the villagers' thoughts.

When outsiders are asked to purchase the items, the villagers don't understand why. They just think that they are getting a good deal because these useless items can be sold for money, so they sell them quickly.

"Great! If you hadn't said that, I would never have thought of it."

Seeing Xu Bo's expression of "I see," Gu Manzhu's peach blossom eyes curved into crescent shapes with joy.

The autumn wind blew, blowing the hair of the woman sitting at the stone table under the tree. The flowing hair brushed against her cheeks, which had become rosy-cheeked over the past few days. The crescent birthmark on her forehead did not look ugly, but instead added a sense of mystery.

Xu Bo was dazzled by Gu Manzhu in front of him. He thought of how thin she looked when she first entered the house. Compared to now, she has changed a lot.

After a while, Gu Manzhu expressed her idea of ​​postponing the planting of medicinal herbs.

After hearing this, Xu Bo did not ask her the reason. He believed that Gu Manzhu had her own reasons for being so sure. He just needed to do what he was supposed to do.

Seeing that Xu Bolian didn't even ask the reason and looked supportive throughout, Gu Manzhu's eyes flushed slightly.

During the time she came to this era, she was not able to adapt at first, but now she has gradually integrated into it. The biggest credit goes to Xu Bo and Xiao Liu for their support from beginning to end.

Thinking about it this way, it was all thanks to that man. Fortunately, the person I met at that time was not an ugly one.

After a busy day, Gu Manzhu enjoyed a hot bath. After the bath, she lay on the hot bed and her consciousness entered the space.

The medicinal herbs planted in the space have been harvested, but the land has not been turned over yet. Gu Manzhu drove the tractor that she had replaced before. After practicing for a while, she has now become proficient in driving the tractor.

After plowing the ten acres of land, Gu Manzhu was not in a hurry to plant medicinal herbs.

There are enough medicinal herbs for seeds this year, and now she plans to plant some rare and precious herbs.

Restock your own pharmacy.

As a doctor, it would be fatal if you don’t have any usable medicine. Besides, what is the most valuable thing in the world?

Life! How many people are willing to spend thousands of gold for their own lives?

Gu Manzhu is confident that the medicinal herbs grown in her own medicine fields are better than those grown outside in the same year.
