Chapter 38 Did Xu Daya’s family run away?
"Ten cents for a piece of sweetened ice?" Old Mrs. Xu asked uncertainly.
"Yes." Xu Ning felt that it should not be expensive.
"Xu Daya, do you know how much an ice cube costs?"
"I don't know!" Anyway, she has saltpeter and can use it as long as she has water. It's a huge profit and can be recycled indefinitely!
"You, that's not how you sell ice. Who in a poor family can afford ice? You have a way, but grandma doesn't want you to use it."
"Given our family's current situation, we absolutely cannot use the ice-making method." Old Mrs. Xu could imagine what would happen to the family once Xu Ning's method was discovered. This method that could make a lot of money was too coveted!
"Let me think about selling ice cream. Even if you want to sell it, you have to buy ice cream first. Do you understand?"
"Got it!" Xu Ning was secretly delighted because Old Lady Xu did not refuse. Consideration means there is a chance!
"Grandma, how about we sell two baskets of yam when we get to the city soon, and give it a recipe for a yam dish, so we have the start-up capital, right?"
"Daya, what is start-up capital?" Xu Da asked curiously after finishing the popsicle in his hand and sucking on the wood chip.
“It's the capital for doing business!” Xu Ning had a strange smile on his face and opened his mouth to say something else, but Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her and she immediately closed her throat, and the words that didn't come out of her mouth became “Hehehehehehe”!
"Alright, alright, let's talk about it later. Let's go now while it's not too hot. If it gets hot later, you won't be able to go!"
After saying this, Old Lady Xu pulled Xu Ning over and walked away with her. This girl is a troublemaker and can give you a "surprise" when you are not paying attention!
She should just watch it!
"Grandma, I can walk by myself." Xu Ning staggered when Old Lady Xu pulled her. Her legs were shorter than Old Lady Xu's, so she had to jog to catch up with her pace.
"Hurry up and leave, or I'll tie you up if you keep chirping!"
Xu Ning's mouth was blocked by a clam, and the scene of being tied up was too beautiful for her to imagine.
On the other side, the people of Xujia Village waited for a long time but didn’t see Xu Ning’s family coming over, and they looked a little anxious.
"Dad, did Xu Daya's family run away?" Xu Qianqian sat under the tree impatiently. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, making her very irritable.
"I don't know, shut up, I'm annoyed when I hear you talking!" The chief of Xujia Village remembered that Xu Ning's family seemed to be packing up last night, and he knew something was wrong. Xu Laogen must have taken his people in another direction.
Xu Qianqian looked aggrieved and blamed all her anger on Xu Ning. She fantasized hatefully in her heart that when she married a powerful man, she would capture Xu Ning and torture him severely!
"Xiao Hu, go and see why Uncle Lao Gen and his family haven't arrived yet!" The head of Xujia Village walked up to Xu Xiaohu. It was so hot just a few steps away that people were sweating.
"Okay, uncle village chief, please look after my mother. I'll go now." Xu Xiaohu's mother was also sitting in the shade under the tree. When she heard her son's words, she didn't even raise her head. She lowered her head and picked the wild vegetables that Xu Xiaohu had picked from the ground.
The chief of Xujia Village glanced at Xu Xiaohu's mother Gu Xiangchun and nodded to Xu Xiaohu.
Xu Xiaohu immediately ran to the place where Xu Ning's family had stayed last night. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was gone. A smile appeared on his face. He secretly let out a breath, then immediately changed his expression and ran back.
"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Lao Gen and the others are gone, there's no one over there!"
"Where are the others? Have you asked?!" The face of the village chief of Xujia Village was extremely anxious. Xu Xiaohu was just pretending to be anxious, and he also became anxious after being asked this question.
"Uncle village chief, everyone over there has left!" After all, the weather was so hot that the village chief of Xujia Village was worried, so he sent a smart man to check. Sure enough, he saw that there was not even a piece of bird droppings left in that area.
The chief of Xujia Village was so angry that he was half dead, but in the end he had no choice but to lead his people and continue walking south.
"Bao, can I get a drone instead?"
"Hello players, the main system has just released a drone with an automatic navigation system. It has its own satellite and signal network, a flight time of 24 hours, and high-pixel real-time image transmission. It only costs points!"
Xu Ning burst out with a Chinese quintessence, "How much?"
"Hello player, one hundred eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight."
"Baby, how much commission did the main system give you?" You were tricked like this! ?
"Hello player, Ten... Zizi Treasure Box can't understand what you mean!"
Xu Ning rolled his eyes and said, "Let's share the rice field. It's so expensive, I can't afford it, but I want it so badly!"
Xu Ning secretly comforted himself that with it, the journey would be much safer. With it, he could find more food. With it, who knows, he might even discover other treasures.
"Bao, this is too expensive. It only has automatic navigation and no scanning function. It can't provide early warning, and it only has a 24-hour battery life. It's not worth it. I don't want it." Xu Ning pretended not to care, and the treasure chest replied soon.
"Hello, player. We have communicated with the main system. While the price remains the same, we have added the additional functions of early warning function and solar charging for 15 minutes, which can last for an hour."
"No, no, my eyesight is not good. I don't want this without the automatic recognition function."
"..." The treasure chest made another series of electric sounds, "Hello player, do you want to import the encyclopedia data into the drone?"
"Zizi, hello player, the main system has promised you that as long as your mission progress reaches 20%, the drone will not only have the scanning function, but will also provide artificial intelligence services!"
"Artificial intelligence? Dad?" Xu Ning stopped and asked the treasure chest: "Bao, how much progress have I made in the task now?"
"Hello player, your mission progress is only 1.68 seconds away from reaching 20%!"
"I understand!" At noon, when the Xu family stopped to rest, Xu Ning came back with a knife and chopped a piece of fresh wood.
"Dabao and Xiaobao, Daddy and Mommy! Grandpa and Grandma! Come here quickly, I have something to tell you!"
"Look, what's different about the cross section of this wood?" Xu Ning pointed at the growth rings on the cross section. Old Mrs. Xu was the first to speak up: "It's just a few circles! Don't all trees have them?"
"Yes, there are trees, so why does the circle look like this?" Teacher Xu asked again?
"Why?" Curious baby Xu Xiaobao repeated.
"Because the amount of rain each year is different, if there is more rain, the trees will grow fatter. Look at this, isn't the distance between the circles larger?"
"It really is!" Xu Da looked at the annual rings that his daughter was pointing at.
"This is quite similar to humans. If you eat too much, you will easily gain weight. Haha!" Old Man Xu couldn't help laughing!
"You are right, Master! Why is the circle of this tree wide on one side and narrow on the other?"
"Daya, what is this circle?" Zhang asked back.
"Annual rings can be used to identify directions when there is no sun, and to tell which way to go. The more moist the soil is, the more water can be found! For example, this side represents the south, and the other side represents the north. In addition..." (Blah blah, previous geographical knowledge launches an attack)
"Daya, did the gods tell you all this?" Old Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Ning in surprise. At that time, the compass had not yet been invented, and people in the Daqing Dynasty almost all relied on experience to find drinking water.
"Hello players, popularizing tree ring knowledge has increased one more task point! It's only 0.68 points away from the full 20 points, please keep up the good work!"
