Chapter 4 Mung Bean Sprouts

Just as she was thinking about it, the broken house was in front of her eyes, Xia Yingying took out five sweet potatoes and said, "Let's eat this tonight..."

"What is this?" Mother Xia looked at Xia Yingying in confusion.

"Isn't this a sweet potato? No one here eats it?"

Mother Xia shook her head and said, "No one eats this stuff, why don't we eat it? I'm afraid it's poisonous..."

Xia Yingying had seen sweet potatoes in the book, saying it was a kind of food in Fanbangguo, but she didn't expect that no one grew them here, she thought for a while and said: "Mother, let's grow sweet potatoes in the yard! This is a good thing , the output is particularly high, and I managed to get it."

"This... mother listens to you, Yingying, you also know that our family is not educated, so what do you say..." Mother Xia said, holding Xia Yingying's hand.

To be honest, Xia Yingying doesn't know how to farm. She is a spoiled and spoiled young lady. How can she understand this, but isn't there a shopping mall?
She buried her mind in the mall, looked at Xiaoyin and asked, "Do you know how to grow sweet potatoes?"

Xiaoyin Machinery replied: "The method of planting sweet potatoes is very simple. Cut the mature sweet potatoes in half, and then plant the cut sweet potatoes in the sand to keep the sand moist. The sweet potatoes will be in the sand in 15 to 30 days. Seedlings have grown."

"So simple?"

Xiaoyin stopped talking, and Xia Yingying didn't care about him anymore, and just followed the method he said, and planted them in the yard, and she didn't know if they could grow sweet potatoes.

Soon, the younger brothers came back dejected. They hadn't sold a bundle of firewood all day, and their backs were bruised and purple.

The fifth child burst into tears with grievance: "If this continues, I'm afraid we'll freeze to death in winter, what shall we do! It's all Xia Youyou's evil spirit... woo woo woo..."

Xia Yingying looked at the 9-year-old fifth child and sighed. When she saw this family in her previous life, she thought of escaping. Afterwards, these people never appeared again, and she didn't know what happened to them in her previous life.

But since she came, she will change the fate of this family, and her fate is closely related to the fate of this family.

In this world, only when the brothers in the family live well can women have status, and studying is the only way out.

Xia Yingying suddenly said: "I have read the Four Books and Five Classics, are you willing to study with me?"

The fourth brother's eyes sparkled when he heard Xia Yingying's words, but he seemed to think of something again and said: "Our family is struggling to survive now, reading... I'm afraid we don't have time, and our books are all sold out."

The fourth brother's eye circles were slightly red, and he turned his head away to wipe away his tears.

Xia Yingying patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, let's take it slowly, but from tomorrow on, you have to listen to me, if I ask you to dig for me, you have to help me?"

The fourth brother nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

Xia Yingying smiled and said, "Then I'll do the embroidery first..."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and went into the back room. Before it was dark, she planned to embroider a handkerchief and see how much it could sell in the mall.

She embroiders very fast, and she is famous for her embroidery work. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The title of the most talented woman in the capital is not for nothing.

When it was completely dark, and her embroidery work was ready, she collected the embroidery work into the mall and said, "Xiaoyin, can you help me check this collection?"

Xiaoyin Machinery replied: "A piece of handkerchief, this embroidery is very good, the recovery price is ten yuan, unlock the secondary mall, and can be exchanged for mung beans."

Xia Yingying was stunned, mung bean soup, mung bean sprouts, mung bean soup...

Her mind is full of these things, and her cooking skills are also very good. She can do all these things. She once made mung bean sprouts, which is a good way to make money.

Her eyes lit up, ten yuan can buy two catties of mung beans, and the price of two catties of mung beans is twelve yuan, which is about the same as the current price.

But if it is made into mung bean sprouts, one catty can produce more than ten catties of mung bean sprouts, and two catties of mung beans can produce more than 20 catties of mung bean sprouts.

A catty of mung bean sprouts costs 3 Wen, but you can also earn 60 Wen.

When I woke up the next day, the family members were not at home. The two elder brothers went to the town to do odd jobs, the younger brothers went to collect firewood, and Xia's mother went to plant the only two acres of land in the family.

Xia Yingying put the mung bean sprouts in a bamboo basket, and put a wooden basin underneath. These mung bean sprouts were not broken. It seems that the mall has carefully selected them for her, which saved her a lot of trouble.

The mung bean sprouts need to be soaked for 4 hours. After soaking, put a layer of gauze under it. Unfortunately, there is no gauze at home, so we can only use a veil in the end.

After doing this, she took the sickle and went to the back mountain. Usually, her younger brothers also collected firewood there.

Besides dandelion, there are many medicinal herbs here, but Xia Yingying doesn't know her. It doesn't matter if she doesn't know her, she has Xiaoyin!
She picked a grass and said, "Do you accept grass like Xiaoyin?"

Xiaoyin replied mechanically: "The wormwood, of course it is harvested."

"Then harvest this kind of grass?" Xia Yingying couldn't help being a little excited.

"This is plantain, and it can be harvested."

Xia Yingying opened her eyes wide. Could this mall be stupid?She picked up weeds at random, but they were identified as medicinal materials.

Moreover, every kind of little silver could report its name and usage. The corners of Xia Yingying's mouth curled up slightly. If what little silver reported was correct, wouldn't she really be learning Chinese medicine?
In fact, the status of a doctor is not high, but no matter how low it is, it is still useful. It just so happens that Xia Yingying is interested in studying medicine.

Her memory is really good, so she can remember most of the things she has learned once.

And when asked about Xiaoyin, Xiaoyin would answer mechanically, and now she was not sure what Xiaoyin was, but it was really useful to her.

In the morning, she picked out more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, exchanged them for four yuan worth of sweet potatoes, and then returned home slowly.

As soon as she got home, she saw her younger brothers coming back, picking up three baskets of dandelions, Xia Yingying said: "Thank you, let's have sweet potato soup for lunch, and let's have some dandelions in cold salad!"

After Xia Yingying blanched the dandelions, she mixed them with cold water, only to find that there was no salt at all in the house, ouch!How can this family be so poor?
At noon, each of them ate a large bowl of sweet potato soup. Each person divided a few pieces of sweet potato, and the broken porcelain bowl was licked clean.

The sixth younger brother smacked his mouth, and suddenly smiled at Xia Yingying: "Sister, the soup you made is really delicious, I really like you, since you came home, I can eat enough every day, and then Don't go hungry."

The seven-year-old sixth brother patted his stomach, and looked at Xia Yingying with a flattering face.

As thin as a monkey, Xia Yingying patted his head and said: "Sister will not let you starve, may I teach you how to write?"

The fourth brother picked up the bowl, rinsed it with water, and hurried over. Xia Yingying held a willow branch and said, "Today I will teach you the first sentence of the Three Character Classic. At the beginning of human beings, nature is kind..."
