Everyone looked at what the little girl said with sparkling eyes. Perhaps not many of them really understood, but they knew that these could be sold for silver.

Everyone listened very carefully as the little girl taught them how to dig out the Pueraria root.

Several young and strong men took machetes and cut through the kudzu web, trying to find the main root underneath. It was a job that required a lot of effort and patience.

Everyone looked at the vines all over the mountain and needed to find its roots among this large area of ​​vines.

The old kudzu vine is very strong and is completely unaffected when hung in the air.

Basically, it jumped every time it was slashed, and everyone's arms were sore from the rebound.

But when they thought that this was medicinal material that could be sold for money, everyone became motivated again.

In order to support the nutrition of so many vines, kudzu root has always grown deeper, and this place is all gravel and loess, making it more difficult to dig.

Soon, fresh kudzu roots were dug out.

Su Muyao was watching from the side, looking at the piles of kudzu root on the ground, which seemed to weigh about three to five hundred kilograms.

I remember my roommate in college once said that the countryside was poor at that time and children had few snacks to eat.

They just dig up the Pueraria root, tear off the skin and eat it.

It tastes a bit bitter when you first put it in your mouth, but becomes sweeter the more you chew it. It is mainly used to quench thirst and is one of the few snacks for children.

Take one, tear off the skin and put it in your mouth.

When Su Sanlang turned around again, his little girl was already chewing on it.

The villagers saw how happily Xiao Fubao was eating and everyone wanted to try it too.

Soon, a large area here was dug out.

Everyone was in a dilemma looking at the hundreds of kilograms of Pueraria root on the ground.

Just when Su Muyao was about to take everyone to find some more herbs and go back, an old lady asked weakly.

"Xiao Fuxing, this can really be sold for money. It looks like an ordinary old tree root. Although it tastes a little sweet, is it really a medicinal herb?"

They all know that the roots and rhizomes of some grasses are sweet.

A young man nearby looked at the village chief and asked, "Uncle village chief, you see you've got so many of them. Why don't we take them to the town pharmacy to see if they are medicinal herbs? Otherwise, we can't let everyone work in vain, right?"

The village chief also knew everyone's concerns, so he put aside his work at home and ran to the mountain to identify medicinal herbs. But in the end, he dug up a lot of uncertain things, so it was inevitable that he had some concerns in his heart.

After all, in their perception, herbs are rare and valuable. The current situation has completely overturned their perception. There is no such thing as medicinal herbs that can be dug out by hundreds of kilograms.

After getting down the mountain, everyone tied all the kudzu roots onto a flatbed truck.

The village chief was in a dilemma when he saw this group of people heading to the town together.

"Everyone, listen to me. We can't have so many people go together. How about this? Just select six or seven people to go together."

"Uncle village chief, I'll go and I can bargain."

"Village Chief, I can do it."

The old village chief saw that everyone wanted to go, and he couldn't figure out a reason for a while.

He pointed directly at the crowd and called out a few people.

"Da Zhuang, Tiezhu's father, Su family's mistress, the Liu family, you all come out together, and you and me, come together."

Then, everyone pushed the cart towards the town.

Su Muyao held onto her father's legs and refused to come down.

"Dad, will you take me there? I have never been to the county before. Please take me there."

Su Lao San couldn't persuade his own daughter, and the final outcome was that Su Muyao sat leisurely on the top of the Kudzu root.

Su Laosan was standing by, afraid that his daughter would fall from the top, and he basically never took his eyes off his little girl.

After arriving in the town, I looked at the unusually busy streets and thought, "So this is what it looked like in ancient times."

Su Sanlang didn't hear clearly what his daughter said.

"My dear, what did you say? Are you calling me?"

"No, no, Dad, I said it looks lively here."

After entering the city gate, I found that the people inside were no longer like those outside the city, dressed in rags.

Although most of them were not dressed very well, their clothes were not patched. One could even see quite a few men strolling around in the crowd wearing fancy clothes.

First we came to a small clinic.

Seeing how small the clinic was, she was afraid that it might not be able to handle as much Pueraria root as she wanted.

"Daddy, let's go to a slightly bigger clinic. This one looks too small. It probably won't need so many kudzu roots."

"Okay, I remember there is a Renyitang in the West Street ahead. The lady there is very nice. Every time common people go there to get medicine, she always uses cheap medicine to replace it, but the effect is the same. It is a clinic that all the farmers love to go to."

Soon, they arrived at the clinic.

The guys inside thought someone was there to cause trouble, so they quickly reported it to their engineer Zhang.

"Boss, boss, something bad has happened. There are a dozen strong men outside. They look like they are here with bad intentions. What should I do?"

The old doctor frowned, thinking that he had been kind to others all his life and had hardly offended anyone, so how could someone come to him?

"Please boil this medicine for the patient here, I'll go over and take a look."

When the old doctor reached the door, he realized that this was not some strong man who was here to cause trouble.

This cart of Pueraria root is placed here, it must be that they are here to sell medicinal materials.

"Boss, you can accept the medicinal materials."

The old shopkeeper glanced at the man who spoke, and then looked at the kudzu root on the back cart.

Nodded and said "yes"

The villagers behind him finally put their hearts at ease.

Several people went from being nervous to being very excited.

The old shopkeeper continued, "I won't hide it from you. We sell our kudzu root for six coins per pound.

But since you are not able to send us herbs for a long time, we can only give you five cents."

When several villagers heard this, their eyes widened.

Six cents per pound, my god, that's equivalent to how much grain.

When Su Muyao heard this, she said to the old shopkeeper, "Uncle shopkeeper, we can send you other herbs in the future.

And you see, ours is the freshest, it takes many days for others to deliver it to you."

The old shopkeeper only heard the voice but didn't see anyone. Finally, after looking around for a few times, he saw Naituanzi standing nearby.

He looks only about one year old, but I didn't expect him to be so eloquent.

The old shopkeeper asked the man next to the kid, "Is this your little girl?"

Su Sanlang bowed quickly and said, "She is my little girl, she just turned one year old this year."

The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, you are smart. Since you said so, I will give you six cents."

Su Muyao cheered immediately, "Yeah, the shopkeeper is so nice. We will come to you again if we find herbs next time."

The old shopkeeper felt much happier when he saw the lively children.

"Okay, come and play with uncle next time."

The old shopkeeper has already decided to accept this batch of medicinal materials. Two shop assistants helped with the process, and the final weight weighed was 940 kilograms.

The old shopkeeper counted on his abacus, "Kuang root weighs 940 jin, and at six wen per jin, that's 5640 wen in total."

Several people couldn't help but gasp when they heard this number.

5640 copper coins are equivalent to five taels and six hundred and forty silver coins.

More than five taels of silver, this is the money that a whole family, young and old, would have to save up for 3 or 4 years without eating or drinking and farming. No one expected that they would get so much in just one hour.
