Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“Just you wait and see. After today’s matter, Madam Cao will not be able to gain any benefits.” Madam Liu was so happy that she did not even try to hide her emotions.

Madam Zhang also nodded. “Isn’t that so? Eldest Uncle and Big Brother aren’t so blind.”

“Mother, I’ll go back first. Since we already know that pickled cabbages can be sold for money, why don’t you buy more cabbages and pickle them?” “We should seize the initiative.”

“You’re right. I’ll go buy cabbage now.” Madam Liu still trusted Ye Muyu.

It could be seen from the medicinal herbs that she had earned money from previously that even if they could not sell it, they could still eat it at home.

If they could earn money, it would definitely be a lot.

Madam Liu brought Madam Zhang home quickly.

Ever since the female arts curriculum was confirmed.

Chu Ziluo would wake up early every morning to practice her calligraphy for an hour before going to school. She would not be idle when she came back every day, saying that she had to complete the assigned homework or consolidate what she had learned in class.

The other families in the village had heard of the Chu clan’s methods, so they also followed suit.

For a moment, the girls were extremely busy. There were fewer children looking for wild vegetables on the roadside.

Apart from that…

After the busy farming season in the village, the people of the Chu family began to build their fences. They had personally experienced the benefits of Ye Muyu’s fence. In addition, they had saved some money from selling medicinal herbs, so they had people to help them.

A gust of wind blew in the village.

The old bowl pieces and tiles that Chu Xing had stockpiled previously came in handy and even allowed him to earn two strings of money.

Time slowly moved towards the Dragon Boat Festival.

Ye Muyu sat under the eaves, grinding Kudzu roots into powder together with

Madam Hu.

Now, not only did the villagers know the medicinal value of the Kudzu roots, but the other villages also gradually knew about it.

In an instant, there was a craze to sell the Kudzu roots in the county.

This caused the price of the Kudzu root to drop again and again. Now, it was stable at two copper coins per catty. It did not continue dropping, but medicine shops did not accept them anymore.

In a county, each household sold dozens of catties or even hundreds of catties.

In just half a month, it had already exceeded ten thousand catties.

Even the largest herb shop in the county, Hefeng Medicine Shop, could not take so much. It was already the limit. As for the other herb shops, as long as they were in the area where the Kudzu root grew, there was no shortage.

Since the price was cheap, it was not worth it to transport it again. Therefore, the county did not accept them anymore.

Of course, when the county collected them, they could still be sold.

“Madam, is this okay?” Madam hu was responsible for placing the Kudzu root into the millstone.

Zhang Shu was strong, so he was responsible for pushing the mill.

White powder flowed out.

He only needed to filter it before drying it.

“It’s fine. It’s fine enough.” Ye Muyu reached out to touch it and licked it.

These roots were all wild and were bought from the villagers who could not sell them.

When Madam Hu saw this water, she could not help but say, “Madam, the

Kudzu root powder is really white, whiter than flour.”

Although the Great Chu Dynasty had good weather and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, they definitely did not have modern planting techniques, so the yield of wheat and rice was not high.

Ye Muyu did not have the ability to develop hybrid rice or high-yield wheat, so she let nature take its course and accepted the food here.

Naturally, although the natural Kudzu roots were not too thick, it was the same as the wild Kudzu roots of later generations. Its natural color was also very white.

“Not only is it white, but it’s also delicious.” Ye Muyu smiled.

“I never thought that Kudzu root could be ground into powder to eat.” Madam Hu praised.

Ye Muyu shook her head. “I just read about it in a book. I just wanted to give it a try. If it works, we’ll have another kind of food in the future. If it doesn’t work, it won’t cost much..”
