Immortal 2077

Chapter 60 Ancestral Craftsmanship

In the lobby of the Bai Family Medical Center, Bai Ruo was lying behind the counter playing with the abacus.

She was bored in every possible way, and was about to fight out to bring back Duo'er who had been late, when Duo'er just appeared at the door of the medical clinic.

She was carrying a big basket in her hand. The color and decoration of the basket were much better than the ones that Bai Ruo usually gave when she went to Baihua Tea House to buy them.

They actually make a difference!
Bai Ruo turned out from behind the counter, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out to Baihua Tea House to settle accounts with their shopkeeper.

"People saw that it was rare for me to go there, so they gave it to me specially. Why are you even angry about this?"

Duo'er saw through Bai Ruo's thoughts at a glance.

"You are the roundworm in my stomach!"

"It's because your expression is so easy to guess."

"Forget it, my lord has a lot of people, and I don't have the same knowledge as them. But you, are you in a better mood? Hmm - but why do you still have a sad face!"

Bai Ruo walked in front of Duo'er and began to ravage her face again.

"Let me guess? Are you worried about the income of the medical center? Humph, I may have asked Mumu about it, and I even checked the account book myself. This big purchase cost a lot of money, if it continues like this You will run out of money to buy medicinal materials in winter, are you worried about this?"

"more or less."

Duo'er absently put the basket on the table.

She didn't plan to talk to Bai Ruo about the discussion with Zhiyuan.In order to prevent Bai Ruo from being impatient, he would kill the opponent directly before he could make a move.

It's not that she feels sorry for those people who are struggling for power, but she just doesn't want innocent soldiers to die in vain.Duo'er has lingering fears about the soldiers who died tragically in the Mongolian country a few days ago.It was the first time she knew that there were more than a thousand soldiers who died in the grassland.

So in order to avoid the tragedy from happening again, Duo'er decided to hide it from Bai Ruo temporarily.

"Hearing my sister's smug tone, do you have a solution?"

"Hmph, of course."

"tell me the story?"

"That won't work, I have to keep it secret first. In short, if you call me nice a few more times, I'll earn a lot of wasted money back for you to spend."

Bai Ruo made a pose of throwing money while talking.

Duo'er cooperated and said: "Then please, my lord sister, earn a lot of money back~ By the way, I can also earn some more food. This year's harvest in Huangshi Town is very bad, and many people will ask for it during the winter." Hungry."

"Harvest! I heard from Yun Qi that a lot of food outside the city was ruined by those people from Mengge Kingdom, right? Those scoundrels really deserve their deaths."

"It's useless to complain now, I can only find a way to store more food. So what is the source of making money that my sister just said?"

"Hee hee, I actually have a good craft!"

"What?"

The end of August should have been the busiest time for the people around Huangshi Town.However, due to the destruction of a large area of ​​farmland outside the city and the panic brought about by the attack of the Mongolian Kingdom, a large number of people have no farm work to do, and they dare not go hunting in the mountains. They can only wander around the city with nothing to do, looking for odd jobs.

Many people gathered in the square in the center of the city, waiting for the boss to come and let them go.

There was a sudden clamor in the crowd, which attracted the attention of everyone in the square.

Bai Ruo, dressed in white as usual, appeared in the square.She held an account book with her name in her hand, and she knew what she was doing without asking.

A group of people immediately surrounded her, she didn't even say the need for recruitment, those people clamored for Bai Ruo to choose him.

Such an oversupplied labor market should not be too unfriendly to workers.They don't even care about the salary, they only care about whether they are selected or not.

Bai Ruo couldn't cope with this kind of situation, so he could only leave the square in embarrassment, and said hastily: "Today I just look at the market, and I will consider recruitment later." He left here as if fleeing.

She originally wanted to come here to hire a few laborers, and wanted to build a thermal shed in the open space behind the medical hall.

Bai Ruo has an ancestral craft - growing mushrooms.

Although she did not engage in this industry after graduation, the memory engraved in her bones has not faded away. Even after she came to this world, she still knows the process and techniques of growing mushrooms by heart.

So Bai Ruo thought about growing mushrooms and selling them for money.

In Taicheng, the price of good quality mushrooms is very high.Bai Ruo had noticed this when he was wandering around Taicheng, and had been planning to try growing mushrooms by himself one day.

Now that the medical center has encountered an economic crisis, she implemented this idea ahead of schedule.

Three days later, with Duo'er's assistance.The Bai Family Medical Center hired a group of skilled craftsmen, and they spent ten days building a thermal insulation shed that met Bai Ruo's expectations on the open space behind the medical hall.

Then Bai Ruo went outside the city to cut wood and reeds, and collected a variety of fungi. After a month of unremitting efforts, for the first time, good quality mushroom seedlings grew in the shed.

But it will take another two or three months for the mushrooms to grow to the point where they can be harvested.

Bai Ruo came out of the greenhouse, looked at the excited little fish with a wry smile and said, "From now on, all the mushrooms in the greenhouse will depend on you."

Bai Ruo has already taught Xiao Yu'er all the skills of growing mushrooms.

"Don't worry, Miss Bai, I promise to make them grow bigger and more abundant."

"Ugh--"

Bai Ruo let out a long sigh when he heard the words.

Judging from the results, Bai Ruo's plan did not solve the economic difficulties encountered by the clinic at all.On the contrary, it caused an extra expenditure for the medical center, which made the coming winter more difficult.

"Where did Dole go?"

Bai Ruo asked Xiao Yu'er.

She hasn't seen Duo'er much in the past few days, and she even wonders if it's because she has disappointed Duo'er that Duo'er doesn't want to talk to her.

Xiao Yu'er said: "Let's go outside the city. Recently, she often runs out of the city with General Zhiyuan, saying that she is looking for food for the winter."

"Our family is not so short of food, is it?"

"There is no shortage. Some time ago, Yun Qi and I went to the vicinity of Taicheng to purchase a cart of food, which is enough for our medical center to eat for half a year."

"Then why does she worry about it so much?"

Bai Ruo couldn't help feeling puzzled.From Duo'er's point of view, she should be the first to worry about whether the medical center has enough medicinal materials.But now she is actually leaving the hospital alone, and even delays seeing a doctor, and she is focused on worrying about the food crisis in the city.

But Bai Ruo asked the merchants in the city, but everyone said that there was not so much food shortage in the city.The food this winter will be more compact, but not to the extent that everyone will not be full.

Since there is enough food and clothing, why are you not obsessed with finding new food for the winter?
The more Bai Ruo thought about it, the more strange she became. Recently, she began to suspect that Duo'er was hiding something from herself.

But she didn't think that Duo'er would do her any harm, so since Duo'er didn't say anything, she thought it wasn't something she should know, so she didn't ask.

"A few days ago, she brought some bark back for me to cook. I thought it was medicine at first, but after three hours of boiling, she actually picked up the bark and started to chew it. She happily told me about this kind of food. The bark can be chewed, maybe it can be eaten." Xiao Yu'er complained to Bai Ruo.
