49 Chapter 49 A New Source Of Wealth

Just as Zhou Ying reached the foot of the mountain, she heard someone calling her name. She had no choice but to stop and look in the direction of the voice. Then she saw Mrs. Bai waving a basket at her from a distance.

Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment, but she still trotted over and asked, “Auntie, are you also going up the mountain?”

“That’s right. I want to go up the mountain to look for pueraria. My mother likes to drink pueraria powder, and it’s a kind thought to bring it back for the new year.” Mrs. Bai replied.

“The pueraria powder is sure a good thing. It can clear away heat, remove phlegm and stop coughing, and beautify the skin.

“I’m sure Granny Bai’s health will improve after drinking them.”

“It’s true. I heard from the doctor that drinking some pueraria powder occasionally is good for a woman’s body. When my mother was young, she was a servant for a large family.

“However, it’s not easy to buy it. Even if there is some for sale, it’ll be bought by the big families, so we can only go into the mountains and look for it ourselves.”

“Your filial piety is commendable. Let’s go together then. At least we will be there for each other.” Zhou Ying agreed.

At the same time, she found a new way to make money. She had a lot of pueraria and pueraria powder in her inters.p.a.ce and could try to sell a batch of them later.

“That’s what I wanted. Let’s go. It’s going to be cold soon.” Mrs. Bai replied with a smile and lifted her legs to walk up the mountain.

Zhou Ying saw this and immediately followed.

However, Zhou Ying soon discovered that Mrs. Bai was not aimlessly searching but had an accurate destination. She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Auntie, do you know where to find them?”

“I’m not sure, but I found it near a spot here last year. I think there should be some nearby.”

“You’re right; these medicinal herbs do grow in spots.” Zhou Ying replied.

After that, she didn’t say anything more and just followed her.

After crossing a mountain, the two arrived at another hill on the sunny side. Mrs. Bai stopped and said, “I found it here last year. Let’s look around the area; whoever finds it will have it.”

She paused and looked at Zhou Ying. “By the way, do you know what pueraria looks like?”

“I know the ones that are dug out. I’ll try to look for them.” Zhou Ying nodded.

After that, the two separated and began to search all over the mountain fields. Soon, Mrs. Bai found one of them and showed it to Zhou Ying, and the two went separate ways again to look for more.

Needless to say, there were lots of pueraria here. In a short time, Zhou Ying found two big roots. Just as she was feeling happy, she suddenly heard a scream from Mrs. Bai.

Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment and quickly looked for where the voice came from. When she saw Mrs. Bai sitting on the ground in a sorry state, she quickly went forward to help her up. “Auntie, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I just missed a step and fell. It hurts a little, but I’ll be fine.” Mrs. Bai replied with a smile.

“Let’s find a clean place to sit for a while.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she helped her over to sit on a clean stone.

After this, Zhou Ying also sat down beside her. She realized that Mrs. Bai had already found four, but they were not as big as hers.

“I heard that people have recently been coming to Chengrui’s place to seek medical treatment?” asked Mrs. Bai.

“I was afraid that no one would have dared to come to our house if it hadn’t been for the recommendation of Uncle Jiale and Uncle Jiaxing.”

“That’s also because Chengrui is capable. In the future, you will have a stable income and no longer need to pick herbs on the mountain on a cold day.”

“That’s true. Otherwise, if it snowed, our livelihood would be over.”

“Speaking of snow, you should store more food at home. We have heavy snow here yearly, and it will be difficult to walk out.”

“Thank you for your reminder, auntie. I’ll remember it.”
