Chapter 153 Years
Lin Huaiyu did not expect to find Polygonum multiflorum in the back mountain of the village, and it was wild Polygonum multiflorum.Although in later generations, wild Polygonum multiflorum is not expensive, but Polygonum multiflorum is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, so it can be sold for some money.
"System, in this day and age, how much is wild Polygonum multiflorum per catty?"
【Uh...Host, if you tell me, you might be disappointed. 】
Hearing what the system said, Lin Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat, and then a sense of foreboding filled his heart.
"How much is a catty?"
[A few cents a catty is not worth it. 】The system said, 【The Polygonum multiflorum in the traditional Chinese medicine hall in Lanxi County costs a dime a catty. 】
"A dime a catty?" This price is indeed too low for Lin Huaiyu, but a dime a catty is also expected. After all, this era is very poor, and everything is worthless, but it is also very valuable.Besides, a dime is not a small fee in the countryside.
[Host, a dime a catty is not cheap anymore. 】The system saw that Lin Huaiyu was a little disappointed, and comforted him, 【After all, at this time, a dime is very valuable. 】
"That's right, I'll dig and see how much Polygonum multiflorum can be dug up." For Lin Huaiyu now, digging up a catty of Polygonum multiflorum is only a dime.
When Lin Huaiyu came out, she didn't bring any tools such as a hoe or a shovel.He found a thicker branch, squatted on the ground, and began to dig Polygonum multiflorum.
Seeing his host squatting on the ground, digging Polygonum multiflorum with no fear of making a mess, the system felt a little distressed for no reason.You must know that its host is the proud son of heaven in the last two worlds, and has never suffered at all.I didn't expect to come to this world, first to cook, and now to dig Polygonum multiflorum, I'm really... down and out.
Lin Huaiyu didn't know what the system was thinking.If he knew, he wouldn't care.For him, digging the Polygonum multiflorum by himself is nothing.
At the beginning, he was slow in digging the Polygonum multiflorum, and it took him more than an hour to dig out one Polygonum multiflorum.He weighed it in his hand and felt that it weighed two or three catties.
After digging out the first Polygonum multiflorum, Lin Huaiyu began to look for the second one.He did not expect that there are many wild Polygonum multiflorum in the back mountain.
The wild Polygonum multiflorum all over the mountain is money in Lin Huaiyu's eyes at this time.
The system couldn't bear to look directly at his host's expression when he saw Qian Qian.However, somehow cute.
Digging a fleece-flower root is a sum of money, which makes Lin Huaiyu full of energy.He was in a good mood humming a song and digging Polygonum multiflorum.
Lin Huaiyu dug Polygonum multiflorum and made mud all over his face and body, but he didn't care.He was so immersed in the joy of digging Polygonum multiflorum to make money that he forgot the time for a moment.
Li Zhen didn't see Lin Huaiyu when she returned home after work, and thought he went to the village to play, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but she couldn't help feeling a little anxious when she didn't see her son come back at noon.
【Host, your family is looking for you, you should go back to have lunch. 】
"What time is it?" Lin Huaiyu just dug out another big Polygonum multiflorum, about three catties, which is thirty cents.
[It's eleven o'clock. 】
"Then I should go back." Lin Huaiyu raised his arms, wiped his face with his clothes, and then went down the mountain with the four Polygonum multiflorum dug up all morning.
Lin Huaiyu weighed four Polygonum multiflorum, and thought it should be ten catties.Well, there is a dollar.
In this era, one dollar is a "huge sum" and one can buy many things, for example, you can buy more than one catty of pork, one hundred catties of vegetables, four or five catties of salted fish, and more than a dozen Jin of tofu and other things.
He just observed that there are many Polygonum multiflorum in the mountain, which should allow him to dig for a while.He didn't go any further, maybe there would be other Chinese herbal medicines inside.Regardless of whether Chinese herbal medicines are expensive or cheap, they can be sold for money.
Lin Huaiyu did not walk in the village with four Polygonum multiflorum, but spared some way to go home.If he walks in the village with four Polygonum multiflorum, he will 100% be questioned by onlookers.He finally found a way to make money, but he didn't want others to know.
Lin Jianghu and Lin Huaimin searched around the village but did not find Lin Huaiyu. When they were about to look elsewhere, they saw Lin Huaiyu walking back in a panic.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Huaimin was very surprised to see that her brother's face and clothes were covered in mud.You must know that her brother usually likes to be clean, and he will never let himself get so dirty.
"Xiaoyu, did you fight with someone?" Lin Jianghu saw his son in such a mess, his first reaction was that his son had fought with someone else.
"No, I went to the mountains to dig something." Lin Huaiyu brought up the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand and showed it to Lin Jianghu, "Dad, guess what it is?"
Lin Jianghu looked at what his son was carrying in his hand, no matter how he looked at it, he thought it was a tree root.
"Brother, isn't this just a tree root?" Lin Huaimin said very straightforwardly, "Brother, what are you digging a tree root for?"
"It's not a tree root." Lin Huaiyu deliberately kept a secret and didn't say what it was, but said inscrutablely, "It's all money."
"Qian..." Lin Huaimin was about to let out a cry of surprise when her brother covered her mouth.
"Shh, let's talk when we get home."
Seeing that his son was covered in mud, Li Zhen was shocked, and asked him anxiously and concernedly if he had fought with someone.
"Mom, I didn't fight anyone, I went digging in the mountains."
"Mom, brother just said that the four tree roots in his hand can be sold for money." Lin Huaimin teased, "This is the first time I've heard that tree roots can be sold for money."
"Tree roots can be sold for a lot of money." Lin Huaiyu raised his hand and flicked his sister's forehead, "Do you know root carvings? Root carvings are works of art carved out of tree roots, but they are very valuable." Wait, he can use tree roots Carve things and sell them.Root carving, he knows a little bit.
"Your brother is right. Root carvings are very valuable."
When Lin Huaimin and Lin Jianghu heard about it for the first time, the father and daughter looked surprised.
"Xiaoyu, do you want to use these four roots to carve something?"
"Mom, this is not a tree root." Lin Huaiyu said helplessly, "This is Polygonum multiflorum."
"He Shou Wu?"
When Lin Huaimin and Lin Jianghu heard about Polygonum multiflorum for the first time, they both looked blank and asked in unison: "What is Polygonum multiflorum?"
Li Zhen said: "Polygonum multiflorum is a traditional Chinese medicine. It is used for detoxification, eliminating carbuncles, laxative, and nourishing essence and blood." After speaking, she exclaimed, "I didn't expect that there is Polygonum multiflorum in the back mountain of our village."
"Mom, there are many Polygonum multiflorum in the back mountain." Lin Huaiyu said seriously, "The traditional Chinese medicine hall in the county should accept wild Polygonum multiflorum, we can dig Polygonum multiflorum and sell it for money."
Li Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is a good way to make money."
Lin Jianghu and Lin Huaimin on the side saw that the roots dug back by Lin Huaiyu could be sold for money, their faces were full of shock.
Li Zhen suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly and said, "He Shou Wu is not very valuable."
"Mom, it's not worth much, but it should be worth a few cents a catty." Lin Huaiyu didn't say a dime a catty. After all, he hasn't been to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the county yet, so how could he know how much a catty is. "If fleece-flower root is five cents a catty, then ten catties is fifty cents, twenty catties is one yuan, and one hundred catties is five yuan."
Lin Jianghu and Lin Huaimin listened to Lin Huaiyu's words, their eyes became brighter and their expressions became more and more excited.
"There are a lot of Polygonum multiflorum in Houshan, I think we can dig a lot." Lin Huaiyu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Mom, this is a profitable business without any cost."
"You're right." Li Zhen looked at her husband, "Jianghu, this is a good way to make money. We can go to the back mountain to dig Polygonum multiflorum and sell it."
Lin Jianghu swallowed his saliva, and his tone couldn't restrain his excitement: "Xiaoyu, can this Polygonum multiflorum really sell for money?"
"Yes, I think there should be other Chinese medicinal materials in the back mountain." Lin Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the back mountain to see if there are other Chinese medicinal materials. If there are, they can be sold money."
"Brother, you are amazing!" Lin Huaimin looked at her brother adoringly, "Brother, you even know Chinese medicinal materials!" She thought that what her brother dug up was a tree root, but she didn't expect it to be a treasure to make money.
"There is a golden house in the book, you know?" Lin Huaiyu said without changing his face, "You can know a lot of things by reading more books."
Lin Huaimin nodded in response: "I see, brother." She must read more books and learn more in the future, just like her brother.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, Mom didn't expect you to know Chinese medicinal materials."
"I saw it in a book before, but I didn't pay attention to it. Today, I wanted to go to Houshan on a whim. I didn't expect to see Polygonum multiflorum as soon as I walked into Houshan. Then I thought of selling it for money."
Lin Jianghu praised: "You still have a flexible mind." Lin Jianghu is a rough man who has never read any books.He has always felt that reading is useless now, but today he finds that reading is still useful.
"Brother, you are really amazing."
"Mom and Dad, let's discuss digging up Polygonum multiflorum and selling it for money."
"Talk while eating."
The family closed the yard door, sat in the kitchen, and discussed digging Polygonum multiflorum while eating.
"Mom and Dad, we can't let other people know about this. We have to do it secretly."
Li Zhen agreed with his son's statement: "You are right, you must not let other people know."
"During the day, my younger sister and I took turns digging Polygonum multiflorum in the back mountain, so that no one else would suspect me." If he and his younger sister didn't go to the fields to plant rice seedlings during the day, it would definitely attract the attention of the villagers. "In the evening, my dad and I will go to the mountains to dig." During the day, his dad and his mother had to go to the fields to plant rice seedlings, otherwise they would be suspected by the villagers.
Li Zhen said: "It's a good idea to dig at night, so that others won't see it, and our family can dig."
"However, it's very dark at night, we can't see, how can we dig?" Lin Huaimin said.
"We can find Polygonum multiflorum in the daytime, and then make a mark, and we can dig it by moonlight at night." Lin Huaiyu also thought of this, "If it is too dark, we will take a lantern or a flashlight to the mountain."
"Xiaoyu's method is fine." Lin Jianghu made a final decision, "Just do what Xiaoyu said first."
"After lunch, I will go to the mountains to continue digging Polygonum multiflorum." After a while, he took a hoe to dig in the mountains, so that he could dig more Polygonum multiflorum.
"Okay, I'll go digging with you in the mountains at night." Lin Jianghu said.
Lin Huaimin raised his hand and said, "Add me, and I will dig at night."
"At night, our family will dig." Li Zhen thought that they could dig more before the villagers found out.
"Then it's settled." Lin Huaiyu had already had a good meal, "Then I'll go to the back mountain now."
"What are you in a hurry for? It won't be too late for you to go to the back mountain after everyone in the village has gone to the fields." Li Zhen held his son back, "You have been digging all morning, take a good rest now, and dig again later."
"Mom, I'm not tired." Lin Huaiyu now just wants to dig more fleece-flower root and make more money, so that the family can have enough food quickly. "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving." After he finished speaking, he carried his hoe and took a long detour to the back mountain.
It was rare to see his son in such a hurry, Li Zhen couldn't help laughing.
Lin Huaimin wished to dig Polygonum multiflorum with her brother to make money, but she couldn't go, which made her very anxious.I really hope that the afternoon can pass quickly, so that I can go to the mountains to dig Polygonum multiflorum in the evening.
Lin Huaiyu didn't let anyone see him, sneaked to the back mountain, and then dug up with a hoe.
