Chapter 109 Do you think I will be someone who will be short of money in the future?
"This... is this Pueraria root?" Everyone looked at the "monster" that had been dug out for so long, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.
They saw a "big guy" with a strange shape and two forks like a twisted dough stick being dragged out of the soil by them.
The size of this kudzu root is amazing!
If ordinary Pueraria root is like the height of an ordinary person, then this "big guy" is the "Yao Ming" of the Pueraria root world!
Moreover, it was exactly as Shen Youyou said, thick on top and thin at the bottom, just like two big radishes entangled together.
Although there are no tools to measure it now, the men's big strides, more than three steps, must weigh at least three or four hundred kilograms.
It really paid off to Shen Youyou to make such a mistake. It's so big, truly worthy of the title of "King of Pueraria lobata".
It's a pity that this is Pueraria lobata. If it was Pueraria lobata, this one would probably be enough for them to settle down in the new place.
In the past, she had only heard that ginseng grown in the forest for a long time would become a spirit, but Shen Youyou did not believe it. She believed in science more.
But, this family traveled through time, is this scientific?
So even she, an atheist, is a little confused about whether unknown things exist or not.
In its previous life, Pueraria root was called "Southern Ginseng". Its rhizomes can be ground into Pueraria powder after sedimentation. The medicinal value is extremely high. Even Pueraria powder is also a health product that is highly regarded by people!
On the way back, Shen Zhiqiu asked Shen Youyou: "Girl, what should we do with this Pueraria root? Is there anyone who wants to buy the Pueraria King these days?"
Shen Youyou was speechless: "Dad, this Pueraria root won't go bad immediately after being dug out, but if it's not handled in time, it may go bad."
Shen Zhiqiu was right when he thought about it. He was really stimulated by the huge size of the plant. He had been thinking that the giant Pueraria root king he had discovered in his previous life could be sold for a high price.
Not to mention that they don’t know whether the wealthy families of Ge Gen recognize that this thing is valuable.
Even before others approved of this thing, he felt even more upset because they currently had no way to store it for a long time, alas!
Shen Youyou saw that his father was a little melancholy, and advised:
"If you feel uncomfortable, think about it. If you sell this big kudzu root, even if people know it is valuable, we might still be forced to buy it. We are in the north and we are unfamiliar with the place. Besides, people are not equal these days.
Besides, I left this big kudzu root out when I was cooking it. Let's eat it first. It can also help us all replenish our bodies in the winter. With our abilities, why are you worrying about how to make money? Just be at ease.
Besides, if you really sell it, and one day you make more money and want to buy it back to replenish your body, you will probably give it to someone else to eat.”
It must be said that Shen Youyou knows how to persuade people. Shen Zhiqiu feels that: Yes, I may not be able to pass the imperial examination, but I can do business without any problems. Why worry about the future?
What's more, what he was least afraid of was starting from scratch. As for the banknotes around his neck, his family tried not to use them, and even if they did, they would make up for it.
When they traveled through time, the ancient father-in-law was gone, and they had not served him for a single day. Even the money and silver had been arranged for them.
He and Jingshu probably won't have any more children in this lifetime. The medical conditions in ancient times were too poor, so one son and one daughter were just right.
Let’s not even talk about her daughter. This child had never been in a relationship since she was a child in her previous life. She even asked him and Jingshu what they would think if she didn’t get married.
In fact, the couple definitely hopes that their children will get married, but if their children just don't want to get married, they won't force it.
At first, after watching so many videos, they thought their daughter might like girls.
Later I found out that my daughter's relationship with her female friends was no different from her relationship with her male friends.
Some people say that people who are too sober and rational find it harder to fall in love with others. Maybe her daughter is this type.
So the couple didn't hold much hope for their daughter to get married in ancient times.
If Lu Ming follows his sister's example in the future, there is nothing we can do. They have all traveled through time. As long as the Shen family does not have any offspring, that will be enough.
But if Lu Ming gets married, he will give birth to two boys, one of whom will be named Li. When the time comes, he will give the grandson the money he got from his father-in-law when he divides the property.
As for what I said about giving Yoyo a dowry, it was really unnecessary, because he simply couldn't let her daughter be without a dowry.
As long as her daughter is willing to get married, he is willing to earn any dowry.
She doesn't want to get married because she's afraid of having a child!
And when the three of them were discussing this, her daughter's proud little eyes were saying: Dad, do you think I will be short of money in the future?
Some people carried the kudzu root on their backs or pushed carts along the way. It took us half an hour longer than when we came here because there were so many kudzu roots to dig, and everyone was specifically digging along the thick vines.
Each one is very filling, and the smallest one is as long as an adult's leg.
I have to say that the ancients were really good in this regard. Pueraria root has been in short supply in my country in later generations, and people in many places have begun to grow Pueraria root.
I dug up a big wild kudzu root in the mountains, and it was like winning the lottery.
But in ancient times, even some doctors did not know that these kudzu roots grew from under such thick vines.
They can only tell whether it is Pueraria by the flowers and leaves on the thin vines.
Otherwise, the refugees would have dug up and eaten all the kudzu roots on the mountain.
In fact, seeing the kudzu roots entangled in the trees, people should really dig them out. As long as they don't break the roots when digging and cover them with soil afterwards, they will continue to grow.
Maybe it could slow down their spread. This thing is too invasive to the land.
His daughter even asked her if she should take some kudzu vines with her when she left, so she could find a way to grow them.
In fact, he was quite tempted, but when he thought of some reports about this thing crawling all over the ground, he hesitated. Hey! He needs to think about it carefully.
He was mainly afraid that a careless decision at this time would cause considerable trouble to people in the future.
When they returned to the cave, there were still quite a few people busy at the entrance. When they saw how much Pueraria root they had brought back, they were very excited. They dropped their work and came over to help unload the truck.
But there was not much noise and no one was shouting, because the kids were already asleep. They had been busy these days and collecting firewood was tiring.
Although no one cheered excitedly, everyone had big smiles on their faces and their happiness was obvious.
Grandma Hua came over and pulled Shen Youyou and her sisters to her side, "My dear grandchildren, you must be hungry. I'm heating up some food for you. When everyone was eating, they didn't serve much meat, so I saved it all for you."
As he spoke, he pulled Shen Youyou and Shen Erya, and did not forget to ask Wang Taohua, Shen Daya, and the other girls to wash up quickly and wait for dinner.
The women also helped to serve the food quickly. It was already this late and they didn't bring much food with them when they left, so they must be starving.
Li Jingshu quickly served a few bowls and brought them to Shen Youyou and the other three. There were two more dishes today, one was stir-fried bamboo shoots, and the other was pork ribs stewed with yam.
Father Shen also said cheerfully, "This pork ribs stewed with yam is delicious. Eat more and serve more when you are done."
Even Yang, who used to hate Erya eating meat without leaving any for Yuanbao, took the initiative to say to Erya: "Girl, eat more. If it's not enough, mother will serve you more."
Shen Erya felt mixed emotions after hearing this. This was the first time in her life that her mother cared about her. But she also knew very well that her mother was acting like this only because they had found a lot of food recently.
According to Shen Youyou, no one is born perfect. No matter who you are, you have your own shortcomings. We have to give her a chance to correct them.
