The Little Lucky Girl

"Brother Jia, are you settling the accounts?" Ming Youyou asked curiously.

Jia Yi smiled shyly, "I'm practicing, but my fingers are not obedient and I always fail to play well."

"Then find someone dumber than you and practice with him, and you will get better and better."

"Why?"

“Because then you’ll have confidence.”

Her family has experience in this kind of thing. Her mother has practiced her calculations by standing on her father's shoulders.

As for how her father practiced...well, there is also her.

Ming Youyou gave the sachet to Jiayi, completed the task easily, and left again with a jump.

When Jia Er saw her leave, he also slipped back into the main room and sat down.

He looked at Jiayi opposite him with a complicated expression. Although he had not told the young master about the conversation between Jiayi and those children that day, he felt that the young master knew it, because since then, the young master never assigned Jiayi any tasks to carry out in secret.

What will happen if a personal guard loses his value? Jia Er thought terrified.

As a result, as he waited, he saw Jia just starting to learn the general affairs, and he knew that the young master was planning to put him in the open.

He didn't know whether he was a little envious of this result.

Jiayi miscalculated again. He looked up in annoyance and saw Jiaer staring at him. He remembered Ming Youyou's words and smiled as he pushed the abacus over to him. "Why don't we learn together?"

The reason the research institute came up with for Ming Youyou was very sound, and sure enough, Captain Jin never asked about the herbs again, but he did offer to buy the sachet in her hand.

She hadn't originally planned to sell it because she slept very well in the past few nights and wasn't disturbed by mosquitoes at all.

But what Captain Jin gave was too much, he actually used two taels of silver to exchange for one. She tried hard but still couldn't resist the temptation, and decided to sell all the four they had except the one she gave away.

She gave Zheng Huanlu Tai everything she wanted, but Feng Xu held on tightly and refused to let go, saying angrily, "Why are you so greedy for money?"

Ming Youyou put a piece of silver in front of him and said, "Look at it before you speak."

Zheng Huan also came over and patted him, "That's enough, think about it, if you don't give Captain Jin what he wants, can he let you have a good life?"

Lu Tai also said: "You can think about it from another angle. Don't you think that making money from him is a particularly fulfilling thing?"

There were only four people in the room, and three of them stood against him. What else could Feng Xu do? He had to reluctantly let go of his hand.

At night, they resumed the method of fumigating the house with mugwort. Ming Youyou was choked and couldn't sleep, so she asked the system: "Why didn't I feel the smell was so strong before?"

The system hit the nail on the head: "This is how difficult it is to go from extravagance to frugality."

Ming Youyou simply didn't want to sleep anymore, she sat up and asked, "Can I buy another sachet?"

Zheng Dao refused mercilessly, "The first two can be said to be made by you finding a grass. Now the grass is gone. How do you explain the next ones?"

Ming Youyou also understood this truth, but she still had some hope, especially when the annoying mosquitoes were buzzing in her ears, "Is there no other way?"

"Not really. You can buy seeds and grow them yourself, so the origin can be explained."

Ming Youyou's eyes lit up, "I want to buy it, I want to buy it."

"The seeds are still in the research and development stage. Because they are alien species, we have to ensure that they can survive on other planets and that they do not pose a threat to native plants."

Ming Youyou didn't understand everything, but she knew that it was not possible now, so she sighed regretfully.

"But the research and development is almost complete and will yield results soon. You can ask them to develop seeds suitable for your world in advance."

Ming Youyou's eyes lit up again.

"But this research and development is quite complicated and requires a lot of points. Not to mention you, even I can't afford it."

Ming Youyou was angry, "Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Are you doing this on purpose? Are you playing a trick on me?"

Zheng Dao laughed out loud, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I found a solution for you."

"You collect 1 kilogram of herbs for the captain, which is about 2 kilograms. You can exchange them for the priority of seeds. Remember that the herbs must have roots. Make sure they are active."

That kind of herb is easy to find, and the exchange is very beneficial to her, but Ming Youyou feels that she cannot cheat her own people.

"That grass is not good to use. If you apply too little, it won't keep away mosquitoes. If you apply too much, it will dye people green. That would be funny, no, it would be scary."

The testimony reassured her, "They just want this plant that is not easy to wash off once it is stained."

It was a coincidence that the United Nations recently discovered an unknown planet with tall vegetation and dense jungles. The environment was very similar to that described in the old movie "Avatar", so this planet was named Avatar.

The local people on the planet have green skin, so the advance team wanted to dye their skin green as well to make it easier to gain recognition.

However, the natural materials they currently have cannot last long and will fail once it rains; as for chemical materials, they are worried about polluting the local environment and causing skin pigmentation. After all, the soldiers have to come back, and no one wants to turn green.

So the military chief approached the research institute, hoping to make a breakthrough in herbal medicine, and the experts thought of the grass in her hand.

Ming Youyou understood. This meant that she could get something as precious as seeds without having to pay any price.

She told the sermon: "It's really fun to get something without spending any money."

Zheng Dao wanted to tell her that this was the joy of getting something for free, but fortunately he reacted in time and held back the words.

Phew, you almost taught the kid bad things.

Zheng Huan and his companions now had the money in their hands and had already written the second edition of the storybook, so they decided to go look for Luo Xiucai again.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the bookstore, he heard the bad news that Mr. Luo was rejected when he proposed to Miss Zhang.

It is said that he was so deeply shocked that he even stopped writing his own stories, leaving readers who were waiting to read his serials wailing.

Ming Youyou and a few others went to the mutton soup restaurant to take a look, and saw that the usually cheerful Miss Zhang no longer had a smile on her face, and her eyes were red as if she had just cried.

Zheng Huan said with emotion: "It seems that the two of them are indeed in love with each other."

Lu Tai also said, "Could it be that Uncle Zhang really wanted to break up the couple just for that missing steamed bun?"

Ming Youyou couldn't bear to see Miss Zhang's sad look, so she came close to her and whispered, "Sister Zhang, have you heard of 'mutton soup steamed bun'?"

Miss Zhang was shocked and stood up suddenly. She looked at her and then bent down and asked, "Where did you hear this name?"
