Chapter 35 Let’s dig together
"Yes, this kudzu root is a herbal medicine! Second sister said it!" Li Rongzhang answered, looking at the pomegranate eagerly, "Second sister, this kudzu root can be sold as a herbal medicine, can we sell it too?"

One penny and two pounds! They dug hundreds of kilograms in total in the past two days. How much would it cost to sell it!

When Shiliu heard that the Chen family had carried the kudzu root to the market to sell it, she raised her eyebrows slightly. It turned out that Chen Qicai had taken away her half of the kudzu root.

I just don’t know how Chen Qicai knew that kudzu root was a medicine and could be sold for money, and he happened to find a medicinal herb dealer.

However, none of this matters.

Pomegranate looked around the entire mountain and then made a decision.

Her family digging so much kudzu has attracted so much attention. It has only been two days and there are already a lot of people asking. In addition, the Chen family is also digging. It is strange that the villagers are not surprised. This will not be conducive to her follow-up. Make sugar.

Making sweets is not a temporary thing, she needs not to be noticed.

In this case, it is inevitable to divert attention.

Chen Qicai took half of her kudzu root without asking, so don't blame her for trying to steal business from him. It's rude to come and go without reciprocating! I can only say sorry first.

This mountain is everyone's mountain, and kudzu root is everyone's kudzu root. She can't dig it all anyway, so let's dig it together!
The three of them carried the kudzu they dug in the middle of the morning down the mountain. It was still a while before lunch. Pomegranate washed her hands and without much delay, she immediately pulled Li Jihe and went to a deserted place by the river to talk. .

The pomegranate began to chatter. When Li Jihe heard that the half of the kudzu root was stolen by Chen Qicai, and that the kudzu root could be sold for a penny or two kilograms as a medicinal material, he was also excited and looked at the pomegranate: "Pomegranate..."

"No! We won't sell it!" Pomegranate knew what he wanted to say without having to listen, so she quickly interrupted him, "I have great use for this kudzu root, so we won't sell it!"

Li Jihe was slightly disappointed and couldn't help but argue with his daughter, "Why don't we sell it? One penny costs two catties, so how much is one hundred catties? Fifty cents! Fifty cents can buy ten packs of candy! You Can you sell so much sugar to make sugar? You still need capital, so you must need other things besides this kudzu root, right? How can you get free money from just selling this kudzu root?"

After talking for a while, he hurriedly said: "Can we use other tree roots to make candy? Let's change to another tree root?"

Pomegranate: Are the roots really used as candy? She wanted kudzu root powder. How could there be powder from other tree roots?
She also hurriedly persuaded her father: "Dad, look, a thousand kilograms of kudzu root can only be sold for five cents. But I can promise you, dad, if I use a thousand kilograms of kudzu root to make candy, apart from the cost, I will definitely make a profit." It’s far more than five pieces of silver. Dad, do you believe me? Are you willing to wait?”

Li Jihe looked at his daughter's bright eyes and spoke loudly. He opened his mouth and couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he swallowed it back silently.

After a long while, he said: "Sure, dad will believe you this time!"

Hearing this, Pomegranate couldn't help but smile, "Dad, you are so kind!"

It's really good. If it were anyone else, how could they withstand the temptation of making money immediately?

After all, her sweets were just words but no trace of them.

He cut off a piece of pomegranate and took it with kudzu root, and went to the old house with Li Jihe.

Father Li had just returned from a walk. When he saw his second son, who was busy building a house, coming back in a hurry at this hour, he felt a little bit in his heart. He just thought something big had happened and was busy talking in the hall without paying attention. Followed by a pomegranate.

When Lao Yuan saw his second son coming back, he was also worried.

"Second brother, what happened?"

Li Jihe put the kudzu root on the table, "Father, mother, this is kudzu root, it's medicine! You stew it and eat it. It's good for your health!"

This was said by Pomegranate. This kudzu was good to eat, but he actually didn’t know how it was good. The pomegranate on the side nodded. Some things are hard to explain clearly. In short, eating kudzu is good. It can lower blood pressure and so on! Aren’t the elderly just afraid of the three highs?

Grandpa almost had a stroke last time. If you eat more kudzu, you can’t go wrong!

Father Li and Mr. Yuan were both confused when they heard this. What kind of root is this medicine? Do you feel good after eating?
"No, second brother, you came here specifically for this? Just ask Brother Zhang to bring it back to us. You don't have to make a special trip."

"Could this be the roots that Pomegranate dug up on the mountain these two days? Everyone in the village is talking about it!"

Li Jihe said: "Dad, I'm here to give this to your two elders. Secondly, I want to tell you that this is called Pueraria lobata, which is the root of the Kudzu vine on the mountain. This is a medicinal material. There is a regular who specializes in collecting medicinal materials." The steward takes this, one penny and two catties!"

When Dad Li heard this, he was shocked and said, "Is this true?!"

His sons split up the family, and each of them didn't have enough money. They had to build a house and arrange for their children's marriage. However, they didn't do any part-time work this year and had no income. He didn't say it, but he was actually worried about this in his heart. !
He suddenly heard that there was a way to make money, how could he not be excited?

"It's true! Dad!" Li Jihe said, "But we have to act quickly. We still don't know how much Manager Chang will charge. What if we have collected enough and won't accept it anymore?"

When Father Li heard that this was true, he quickly shouted outside: "Rong Song! Rong Song!"

When no one answered outside, Old Yuan answered first, "Rongsong is not at home. His in-laws are sick. Today, brothers Rongsong and Brother Bai went to see his grandpa!"

When Father Li heard this, he also muttered secretly, it is common for people to get sick as they get older, but why is it that either the mother-in-law or the father-in-law is sick recently? What a strong body you look at!

This man can’t be said!
Old Yuan's eyes darkened slightly, but she did not express her thoughts. She felt that being sick was an excuse. This was because she simply did not want Brother Rongsong to help his uncles build a house!

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that it took two days?

But even the boss wouldn't recognize it when she said it, and it was hurtful to say it, so she pretended not to know.

The person who came in from outside was Wu. As for Li Jiren, someone in Changqing Village had passed away. He had gone out to work and was not at home today.

When Father Li saw her coming in, he shouted again: "Where's Lao San Lao Si's family?"

Wu responded: "I just went to deliver steamed buns to the homestead. Dad, what happened?" She glanced at Li Ji and his daughter out of curiosity.

Unlike Li Jihe, who built a straw hut on the homestead, Li Jifu and Li Jigui would not be in trouble if they could. Now the clan members are helping to build houses, and the Huang family and the Jiang family still use the stove in the old house to steam buns.

For this reason, Mrs. Wu has been angry for several days, but Ms. Huang and Mr. Jiang are competing to be thick-skinned, and she can't do anything about them. She can't drive people away openly, as her parents are watching!
Father Li listened, but did not reply to Wu's words. He quickly asked Li Ronghua from the fourth room at home to call back Li Jifu and Li Jigui.

Li Jihe, who was listening in the audience, knew more or less what his father meant. He was thinking of sending his brothers to dig kudzu roots in the mountains in the afternoon!
He paused, thinking about what his daughter said, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, all the brothers and nephews in the clan are helping our three brothers build houses!"

When Father Li heard this, his mind was agitated.

Yes, yes, he was just excited and looking after his own home, but he didn't expect this!
Every family of the tribe had someone to help them. How could they leave the tribesmen working and go dig kudzu and sell it for money?

This is not authentic.

After thinking about it, Father Li stood up and said, "Before they come back, second brother, you come with me to find your uncle and go to the patriarch's house!"
