The Lucky Farmgirl

Second Miss Fu never expected that the nice thing Manbao said she would bring for her would be a basket of ginger. She was quite speechless, standing inside the door without a word for a long time.

Manbao truly believed her ginger was something special, after all, she had watched it grow and mature.

She recommended to Second Miss Fu, "Ginger is spicy and slightly warming, it enters the lung, spleen, and stomach meridians, and can induce sweating to expel pathogens, warm the middle to stop vomiting, warm the lungs to relieve cough, and even disperse cold evil. That’s why there’s ginger tea. Second Sister Fu, right now is the time for the autumn grain harvest; your father must be very busy. At such times, it’s even more important to look after one’s health, so buy some ginger to take back and make tea for him."

Second Miss Fu laughed at her words and asked, "Do you also understand medicine?"

Manbao shook her head, "I don’t. I’m just reciting what I’ve learned from books."

Second Miss Fu smiled faintly and turned to her maid, saying, "Since Manbao says her ginger is good, it must be. Buy it all and send it to the kitchen."

The maid agreed but did not move to take the basket; instead, she proceeded to lead Zhou SiLang to the kitchen.

Manbao scratched her head and said to her, "Can your family eat so much? Just buy a bit. If you think it’s good, we can bring you fresh ones later; we’ve planted a lot of ginger at home."

Second Miss Fu laughed, saying, "I have only seen sellers who hope buyers buy more, but you are the first seller I’ve seen who advises to buy less."
