Ye Muyu lifted the hem of her dress and arrived at the place as she spoke.
“Mother, this piece of land is ours? There were too many weeds and they were all barren. There were also these thorns. It would be difficult to uproot them.” Chu Ziluo did not know much about her family’s farmland, but she knew what it looked like.
In her eyes, this was a wasteland.
“These plants are good stuff.” Ye Muyu did not hide it from her and taught her how to recognize the Wild Fan Flower.
“Mother, can this fruit really be sold for money?” Chu Ziluo’s eyes lit up when she heard that they could be sold for money. She was not afraid of falling and walked into the wasteland to pick up the fallen flowers and fruits.
“We’ll know when we ask tomorrow.”
The wild fauna was taller, so only Ye Muyu was able to pick it. The two of them divided the work and worked together, so it was much faster than in the morning.
She glanced at the wild mountain flower branch, her movements gentle. She did not plan to sell its roots. Only the Wild Fan’s flower and fruit could be sold for money, so she was very protective of this tree.
The mother and daughter went together. Chu Ziluo picked the ones on the ground while Ye Muyu picked the ones on the trees.
When the basket was full, another two hours passed.
During this period, they did not meet any villagers. It was busy farming now, and the villagers were all in the fields.
Ye Muyu put down the basket and walked around the wasteland, trying to find some valuable plants.
After turning around, she found another plant in the wasteland that was extremely abundant. Was this a Getiao?
Because the ground had not been taken care of for many years, all kinds of small branches had grown out. On the branches, there was a kind of green plant. Ye Muyu did not recognize it at first because there were too many plants. The ground next to her house had this kind of Kudzu.
Usually, in the village, Kudzus were weeds that were very easy to survive. They were either found for the livestock at home to eat or thrown away.
Who knew that this thing had medicinal effects?
“Mother, what are you looking at?” Chu Ziluo stood up and happily said, “Mother, my entire basket is full.
“No need. It’s getting late. There’s no hurry, so we pick it more tomorrow.”
Ye Muyu had never been impatient. Moreover, the ancient land was more conscious. It was something from her land. Others had no right to take it. If they took it, it would be theft.
“Sit down and rest for a while. “Ye Muyu squatted down, took out the sickle from the basket, and slowly dug out the soil at the root of the Kudzu.
As expected, she soon saw the root of the Kudzu inside.
Not only could the root of Kudzu cure diseases, but it could also be eaten.
However, generally, wild Kudzus that were more than three to four years old had better medicinal effects. If it was artificially planted, it was most suitable to dig it out in winter and autumn. The second, third, and fourth months of the following year were suitable for planting.
However, there was no need to worry about the Kudzu Root in her field. It was obvious that it was more than five years old.
Needless to say, the medicinal effect was amazing.
Ye Muyu slowly dug out a root, not daring to scratch it a little. Even if there was soil on it, he was afraid to pat it lightly.
“Mother, where did you dig this out from? It looks like a sweet potato.” Chu Ziluo came over and saw that Ye Muyu’s hands and skirt were stained with soil from digging the Kudzu Root. She quickly said, “Mother, I’ll hold this for you.
Go wash your hands.”
“It’s fine. This Kudzu Root can’t come into contact with water, or it will rot easily. Let’s go back.” Ye Muyu was tired after working for two hours. She had never mistreated herself. When she was tired, she would rest. Chu Ziluo quickly followed.
When the mother and daughter returned home, Ye Muyu dried the herbs as usual..
