 Chapter 103: Wild Grasses Have Value Too

Ye Muyu lifted her skirt and arrived at the location while talking. "Mom, is this our land? There are too many wild grasses, all barren, and these thorns, it's difficult to handle if we want to pull them out." Chu Ziluo was not familiar with her family's land but she knew what good land looked like. In her eyes, this was just wasteland. "These plants are good things." Ye Muyu didn't hide anything from her, teaching her to recognize wild fan flowers. "Mom, can these fruits really be sold?" Chu Ziluo's eyes lit up when she heard they could be sold for money. Without fear of falling, she walked into the barren land and started picking the wild fan flower fruits that had fallen on the ground. "We'll know when we ask tomorrow. Let's pick them for now." Wild fan flower trees were relatively tall and Ye Muyu could only pick a few. With the two working together, the process was much faster than in the morning. She glanced at the branches of the wild fan flower. Her movements were gentle because she didn't plan to sell the roots. This way, only the fruits of the wild fan flower could be sold. Therefore, she protected the tree carefully. Mother and daughter worked together, Chu Ziluo picked from the ground, while Ye Muyu picked from the tree. By the time the basket was full, another hour had passed. They didn't encounter many villagers during this time. It was the busy farming season and most villagers were working in the fields. Ye Muyu put the basket down and walked around the barren land trying to find valuable plants. Turning around, she actually discovered another type of plant in the wasteland and it was abundant—kudzu vine. Because the land had not been tended for many years, various small branches had grown. On these branches, a green plant crawled. Ye Muyu didn't recognize it at first because there were so many of these plants. The land next to her house also had kudzu vines. Normally in the village, kudzu vines were very easy to survive. They were often given to feed livestock at home or simply discarded. Who would have thought that this stuff also had medicinal and edible effects. "Mom, what are you looking at?" Chu Ziluo stood up, happily carrying the basket "Mom, my whole basket is full. I'll continue picking after I exchange it when I go back." "No need, it's getting late. We can pick more tomorrow. You sit down and rest for a while, I'll take a look." Ye Muyu, not in a hurry was aware that hasty actions were counterproductive. Moreover, the awareness of ownership of land was stronger in ancient times. What belonged to her land could not be taken by others. Taking it would be considered theft. "You sit down and rest for a while, I'll take a look." Ye Muyu squatted down, took out the sickle from the basket and slowly dug up the soil under the kudzu vines. Sure enough, in a short while, she saw the kudzu roots inside. Kudzu roots not only had medicinal properties but were also edible. However, wild kudzu roots over three to four years were better and if they were dug out in winter and autumn, it was the most suitable. From February to April of the next year were the best periods for planting. But she didn't need to worry about the kudzu roots in her land. A glance told her that they were over five years old. The medicinal effect was self-evident. Ye Muyu slowly dug out a kudzu root. She didn't dare to damage it even a bit and gently patted off the soil on it. "Mom, where did you dig this from? It looks like sweet potatoes." Chu Ziluo came over to take a look. Seeing that Ye Muyu had soil on her hands and skirt from digging up the kudzu roots, she said quickly, "Mom, let me hold this for you. Go wash your hands." "No need. Kudzu roots can't touch water, or they'll rot easily. Let's go back." Ye Muyu had worked for an hour and was tired. She never treated herself badly. When tired, she would rest. Chu Ziluo quickly followed. When the two mother and daughter returned home, Ye Muyu, as usual dried the medicinal herbs first.
