Chapter 44



The kudzu roots were dug out, but getting them out of the ground was not something Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan could do.

Fortunately, this place was not far from He Xuebin's rose field, so Song Tiantian and the others ran directly to the flower field and shouted loudly to the three people who were still struggling in the sea of ​​flowers: "Dad, Dad!"

When they heard their daughter and son calling, Lu Chuanbei and Fang Xiuzhu, who were still cutting branches in the flower field, immediately looked up outside the flower field.

When they saw the two little guys waving their hands and shouting and jumping there, the three of them put down their work at the same time and trotted out of the flower field.

"Tiantian, what's wrong? Why are you here?" Lu Chuanbei asked Song Tiantian.

"Nannan, why are you here? Where is Niannian?" After He Xuebin didn't see He Jingnian with them, he asked Nannan with some concern.

Fang Xiuzhu: "Nannan, what's going on?"

"Niannian is still sleeping. Tiantian and I came here to pick herbs." Xiangfangnan said simply.

"Picking herbs?" Fang Xiuzhu's brows suddenly frowned.

"It must be you who wants to pick it, right?" Lu Chuanbei looked at Song Tiantian.

"Hehe." Song Tiantian hid the small basket behind her. Of course, with her small body, she couldn't hide anything. "I want to make grape pectin, but I'm short of some herbs."

"Then you can't bring Nannan out to pick them. What if something happens?" Lu Chuanbei said to Song Tiantian with a serious face, "Show me what you picked."

"Oh." Song Tiantian pulled out the small basket behind her with a somewhat listless look.

Lu Chuanbei took it and looked at it. After finding nothing that shouldn't be there, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, no problem."

Upon hearing this, Song Tiantian became stiff again: "Of course there is no problem. I know a lot of medicines."

"I know you have a good memory, but medicinal herbs are different from other herbs. You still have to be careful and not careless. Besides, you are so young, why are you so anxious?" Although Lu Chuanbei had high expectations for Song Tiantian, he didn't want the child to be so young and his heart and eyes were full of Chinese medicine.

"I just want to make grape pectin." Song Tiantian said to her little finger a little aggrievedly.

"Then you can tell daddy and he'll pick them for you." Lu Chuanbei looked at the little girl seriously. "Besides, you're still too young. Even if you know some herbs, you can't dig them up, right?"

Upon hearing this, Song Tiantian immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, just like the kudzu root we just dug, it was too laborious, and even after digging it out, it was impossible to move it."

"Kuzu root?" Lu Chuanbei was stunned: "You also dug up Kudzu root."

"Hmm, it's quite big." Song Tiantian gestured with a large circle in front of her and said, "Such a big one, even bigger than mine."

Xiangfangnan nodded and said, "Yeah, the kudzu root we dug out is almost as big as Tiantian."

"A kudzu root about the same size as Tiantian's?" Lu Chuanbei gasped. "That would have to weigh over thirty kilograms, wouldn't it?"

Song Tiantian, whose weight was suddenly exposed, couldn't help but stamp her feet: "Dad, Mom said that girls' weight can't be casually disclosed!"

"Yes, yes, it's Dad's fault. Dad won't say anything more."

[That’s right, how can you casually say the weight of a fairy?! ]

[So, Tiantian weighs over 30 pounds?]

[Poof... the little fairy's weight was suddenly exposed! ]

Song Tiantian led Lu Chuanbei and the others to the place where they had just dug up the kudzu root. When they saw the kudzu root still half wrapped in the mud pit, the adults couldn't help but gasp.

"My goodness, I thought you were joking just now. I didn't expect that this Pueraria root is really as big as you said?" He Xuebin was also shocked at this moment.

Lu Chuanbei looked at the kudzu root in the pit and asked in surprise, "How did you dig out such a big kudzu root?"

"I dug it with a shovel and a spoon."

"A shovel and a spoon." Lu Chuanbei nodded, then he looked at Song Tiantian, feeling something was wrong. "Wait, you brought a shovel and a spoon? And the shovel is fine, but what about the spoon?"

"It's this spoon and shovel." Song Tiantian said, pulling out the bent spoon and shovel from the bamboo basket that Xiangfangnan was carrying. "But they're too fragile. They bent after just a short while of digging."

Lu Chuanbei looked at the completely distorted spatula and spoon, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "If I remember correctly, this was taken from the kitchen, right?"

"Yeah, aren't we very smart?" Song Tiantian was a little proud. "But this is still not as useful as the small hoe and shovel at home."

As she spoke, the little girl looked up at Lu Chuanbei and said, "Dad, next time we come, can you bring the hoe and shovel from home?"

Lu Chuanbei looked at the two tablewares that spoke of suffering and nodded silently: "Don't worry, next time I come, I will bring the tools from home no matter what."

"That's good." Song Tiantian said, and then looked towards Xiangnan: "Brother Nannan, I'll give you one of the tools I bring next time, and then we can come and dig herbs together."

Xiangfangnan nodded directly: "Okay."

When Lu Chuanbei heard this conversation, his heart choked and he suddenly felt that bringing the tools was not a good thing.

But when he saw the kitchen utensils that had been deformed by Song Tiantian and the others, he still felt that he had to buy something durable, otherwise, this little girl Tiantian might really destroy all the kitchen utensils in his kitchen.

While Lu Chuanbei was trying to convince himself, He Xuebin could no longer hold back and took the hoe to continue digging towards the place where Song Tiantian and the others had already dug.

Fang Xiuzhu stood at the other end, and the two of them dug synchronously, much faster than Song Tiantian and the others who had just used spatulas and spoons to slowly dig.

In a few strokes, the kudzu root that was originally half-hidden gradually revealed its full appearance under their hoes.

I saw that the entire length of this kudzu root was almost as tall as an adult. Not only that, the thickest part was as thick as the thigh of an adult man.

When He Xuebin was carrying the kudzu root out of the pit, he almost couldn't move it. "Oh my god, this kudzu root is almost heavier than the weights I lift at the gym, right?"

"It must be around a hundred pounds." Lu Chuanbei said with certainty.

"Of course, and based on my years of experience lifting weights, it's no less than that." He Xuebin suddenly became excited. "Xiao Lu, how much do you think we can get if we sell this kudzu root to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"Of course it's a must." Lu Chuanbei said, "Fresh kudzu root on the market now costs more than 30 yuan per kilogram, not to mention that ours is wild. If we don't buy it for 50 yuan, we're losing money."

"Then we're rich, aren't we?" He Xuebin said with shining eyes.

Fang Xiuzhu poured cold water on him: "That also requires the supply and marketing cooperative to be able to buy it."

Upon hearing this, He Xuebin's heart sank. "That vampire from the supply and marketing cooperative isn't going to really give us a low price, is he?"

"It's hard to say." One day was enough for Fang Xiuzhu to see through the stinginess of the program crew. He didn't think that just because of a piece of kudzu root, the program crew would be so kind.

As expected, after they finally carried the Pueraria root to the supply and marketing cooperative, the price Xiao Gao offered was enough to make anyone cry.

"What did you say? You only charge ten yuan per pound for this piece of Pueraria root?" Lu Chuanbei looked at Xiao Gao in disbelief.

"Ten yuan. This kudzu root weighs over a hundred pounds, so that's only a little over a thousand. Eh..." He Xuebin counted on his fingers and said, "This price sounds okay."

Fang Xiuzhu couldn't bear to watch He Xuebin, who started to act stupidly when he heard that he had received more than a thousand yuan, and he said directly to Xiao Gao, "Wild kudzu root is already selling for fifty or sixty yuan per catty out there. Although we're not in the city here, isn't ten yuan per catty still a little too little?"

"It's quite a bit." Xiao Gao didn't think it was too little; he even felt that his price was quite high. "We're in the countryside, so we don't lack wild kudzu root. Besides, one kudzu root costs over a thousand, which is enough for you to use for a long time. No matter how you calculate it, you're not losing out."

"Who said we didn't suffer a loss?" Lu Chuanbei understood the shamelessness of the production team more clearly. "A single kudzu root like this would cost five or six thousand yuan out there, and you're only giving us one-sixth of the purchase price. Do you still think that's a lot?"

"What's more, this is the price of fresh kudzu root. If I had the time to prepare it into medicinal herbs, it would cost hundreds of yuan per kilogram, not to mention the price of kudzu root powder."

"Then you have to sell it." Xiao Gao, the sole seller in the village, said without a trace of worry, "There's only one supply and marketing cooperative in the entire village, our program team. If you don't sell it to me, you won't be able to sell it either."

These heart-wrenching words almost gave Lu Chuanbei a myocardial infarction.

"If we don't sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative, we can sell it to the people in the village." Song Tiantian's words immediately made Lu Chuanbei's eyes light up.

Lu Chuanbei quickly lowered his head and looked at his daughter beside him: "Girl, what did you just say?"

"If you don't sell it to the uncle in the supply and marketing cooperative, you can buy it from the people in the village." Song Tiantian didn't realize at all that her words caused irritation to Lu Chuanbei and others.

Xiangfang Nan on the side also said: "Yesterday the village chief said that as long as we can sell the goods in the village, it will be fine. So whether we sell to the supply and marketing cooperative or to the villagers, there should be no restrictions."

[Ahhh! Tiantian and Nannan are the best in the show!]

[That's right, Tiantian and Nannan were right. The production team only said that the items should be sold, but there was no requirement to sell them to the supply and marketing cooperatives!]

【Tiantian and the others have found their point, right?】

【Type Tiantian Saigao on the public screen!!】

[If Tiantian had spoken, I would have been almost led astray by the production team just now!]

[The supply and marketing cooperative only offered a little over a thousand yuan for such good Pueraria root. Now, it's like trying to get water with a bamboo basket!]

[Congratulations to Tiantian and her family! They are about to become extremely wealthy! ]
