Ye Muyu remembered that the Wild Fan Flowers bloomed in January and
February. It was already May, so the fruits looked dark red instead of red.
Because it was fully ripe, the fruits on the branches and leaves fell with a light touch.
The basket was full. Ye Muyu looked at the time and planned to come back in the afternoon.
Ye Muyu did not leave immediately.
She wanted to see if there were any more plants in the ground.
Ye Muyu did find some different plants, except for the common wild vegetables.
“This is ginger?” Ye Muyu squatted down and looked at the yellow ginger petals that had already emerged from the dry soil. She was a little surprised, so he picked up a stick beside her and started digging.
She had thought that it would be a good deal to plant ginger in winter.
It was not time yet, so she put it aside.
Now that she had found the old ginger in the ground, she could use it as a ginger seed.
As far as she knew, the ginger in the county was only used for medicinal purposes. The ginger bought from the medicine shop was all dried ginger slices and could not be used to plant.
In the village, no one grew ginger. The reason was simple. Ginger had always been a medicine, and most people thought that only wild herbs were useful.
In fact, this was not the case. Many medicinal herbs were indeed more effective in the wild, but ginger could be used as a seasoning in vegetables.
As Ye Muyu thought about it, she picked up her speed and cracked open the soil.
Because the soil was very dry and hard, other than natural rainwater, there was no irrigation at all. Moreover, this land was on a high terrain, and the water from the river could not reach it. No wonder it was so dry.
Ye Muyu had to spend a lot of effort to dig out one of the pieces. Her forehead was covered in sweat.
“This… It shouldn’t be ginger.” Ye Muyu frowned. Perhaps it was because it was too dry, some of the plants nearby had turned yellow, and their roots were very dry.
“This is Solomon’s Seal, right?”
Ye Muyu was knowledgeable and had a good memory, so she finally recognized the plant.
“Another medicine…”
“Unfortunately, the medicinal effects of artificially grown Solomon’s Seals are much weaker. If it’s really ginger, I can really plant it and get endless income. there aren’t many Solomon’s Seals. I’m afraid it’ll take at least four to five years for it to grow again after digging it up.”
Although Ye Muyu sighed in her heart, it was still a pleasant surprise.
She placed the Solomon’s Seal into the basket.
Ye Muyu turned around and walked toward home.
Along the way, she looked around. Perhaps it was because it was close to the mountain, there were many plants. She even saw Wild Fan Flowers on many slopes.
Her land was considered small.
As for Solomon’s Seals, they were even rarer. Only a corner of her land had some.
Ye Muyu felt that she could find an opportunity to go up the mountain and take a look. She might be able to find other herbs.
The villagers had never been educated, so how could they know what the medicinal herbs looked like?
Ye Muyu saw Chu Ziluo running out of the house as soon as she got home.
“Mother, you’re back.” Chu Ziluo smiled at her.
“When did you come back?” Ye Muyu asked as she walked closer.”
“Grandma sent me back just now.”
“Little brother is still studying in school. Grandma said that she has already told him to come home after school,” Chu Ziluo said loudly.
Ye Muyu did not expect Madam Liu to be so decisive. She had just mentioned this two days ago, and now she had sent the child back without any hesitation.
However, from this, she felt the other party’s kindness..
