Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

After returning to the village.

Wu Wenqiu and Wu Wenshan were outside the yard, looking over and over at the kudzu roots they had dug up on the ground.

After seeing An Yue and the other two coming back, Wu Wenshan smiled happily and said, "Oh, you guys also gained a lot! Not bad, not bad."

Wu Wenqiu asked: "Miss, I heard this thing is called Pueraria root? How should it be eaten?"

A group of men nearby crossed their arms, ready to listen to An Yue's story.

An Yue gently placed the backpack on the ground, walked to where the kudzu root was piled, and said, "This kudzu root has many uses. First, it is a medicinal herb, and second, it can also be used as food to fill the stomach."

When Wu Wenshan heard that Pueraria root can be eaten, he couldn't wait to ask: "Oh? Miss, please tell us quickly, how to eat Pueraria root."

An Yue smiled and cleared her throat, then said, "First, clean the kudzu root, then cut it into small pieces and boil it in water to drink. It can quench your thirst."

“If you grind the kudzu root into powder and dry it, and stir it directly with boiling water, you can also make cakes.”

"If there is meat, it will be even better. You can also make soup with the meat. Soup is very nutritious."

"However, the most direct way is to steam it and eat it as a staple food."

Everyone was listening attentively. Wu Wenshan couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asked everyone, "Then let's try the steamed kudzu root tonight. What do you think?"

Everyone raised their fists above their heads and shouted in unison, "Good! Good! Good!"

The wife standing next to him said unhappily, "Boss, look at your greedy look! Stop it!"

Wu Wenshan raised his eyebrows at his wife, and the woman lowered her head in shame.

After hearing what An Yue said, everyone on the scene started to wash the Pueraria root.

Then several women in the crowd stepped forward and took the Pueraria root to wash it.

After cleaning, the women cut the kudzu root into pieces, then lit a fire and started steaming it.

Several women were busy working.

......

A few quarters of an hour later.

The whole house was filled with the fragrance of fresh kudzu, and a meat dish was stewed in another room.

Finally, everyone started lining up with bowls, ready to serve Pueraria root and vegetables.

The woman also scooped out a large bowl of steamed kudzu root and brought it to the table in the hall.

Wu Wenshan couldn't wait to take a bite, and his eyes lit up instantly.

After chewing it and swallowing it, he immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mm, it tastes sweet and sticky, very good."

After saying that, he picked up the bowl and took another sip.

Wu Wenqiu's wife tasted it and said, "This is really delicious! We didn't know it was edible before!"

Wu Wenshan said to his son Wu Lin, "Linzi, let them dig more tomorrow."

An Yue reminded: "Don't dig too much in an area, otherwise it will be gone next year."

Wu Wenshan agreed, "Swallow, that's true, the young lady is absolutely right."

Wu Wenqiu had been eating, but suddenly he looked up and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I seem to remember a sand slope not far from our home that was full of kudzu vines!"

"Hiss...After hearing what you said, I feel like I have seen it somewhere." Wu Wenshan said thoughtfully.

Wu Wenqiu tried to recall and said, "It should be over the hillside to the east of our village. The back of the hillside is a sandy slope."

"So, tomorrow you should take a few strong men with you to take a closer look."

"There are many people in our village. If there really is Kudzu root on that sand slope, we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore." Wu Wenshan smiled with his eyes narrowed into slits.

Wu Wenqiu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Wu Wenshan's wife clapped her hands and reminded him, "Okay, okay, we've all had dinner today, it's time to see what everyone has harvested for the whole day."

After hearing this, An Yue and Chun Zhi looked at each other in surprise.

Wu Wenqiu's wife said, "The two girls have just arrived in the village, so they may not understand the rules of our village."

An Yue nodded with a smile.

"In our village, usually before dinner, everyone will hand over all the items they have obtained throughout the day to the government."

Everyone had dinner.

At this time, the sky was still bright.

Everyone took out what they had gained that day and placed them on the ground one by one.

Three of the men hunted two wild rabbits. They piled the rabbits on a stone slab, and the men, women, and children in the village all applauded and cheered for their success.

Then two more men came out, and they caught a pheasant.

Everyone was still clapping and cheering.

The display of harvest in the village becomes more and more exciting.

A burly man came out carrying a wild boar. The wild boar was huge and its bristles were covered with mud.

When everyone saw the wild boar, they couldn't help but cheer loudly, as if they had already smelled the aroma of roasted pork.

Then, a child came out, jumping and holding a basket of bird eggs. He said excitedly: "I found them in the bushes!"

Then, a middle-aged woman came over with a basket of wild fruits. She smiled and said, "These wild fruits can be used as snacks for the children."

At this time, there was a young man carrying a bundle of firewood. Although it looked ordinary, firewood was essential for heating and cooking on such cold days.

The last two men who came up directly handed over the small change.

After everyone saw it, they looked at it with disdain.

A woman in the crowd rolled her eyes at the two men and said, "Hey! You must have robbed some of that change from somewhere else, right?"

An Yue took a closer look and found that the two people looked familiar.

She looked at the copper coins they handed over, and An Yue slapped her forehead, then she remembered.

It turned out that they were bandits who were blocking the entrance to the town and specialized in robbing passers-by.

An Yue slowly walked out of the crowd and asked, "Boss, what are the rules of our village?"

"Don't rob the villagers, don't rob the elderly, women, and children, and don't bully the weak." Wu Wenshan said word by word.

Wu Wenqiu took over and said, "Our main goal is to rob the rich and help the poor."

"What is rich and what is poor?" An Yue asked without changing her expression.

Wu Wenqiu said sternly: "The rich refer to those who are rich but unkind and oppress the people."

"The poor are those poor people who rely on the weather and work hard but still cannot fill their stomachs."

His elder brother Wu Wenshan added: "Those unscrupulous businessmen and corrupt officials are all considered rich and unkind in our eyes."

"In the villages around us, people work hard to farm but still can't get enough food. That's poverty."

Wu Wenqiu's wife held the little kid in her arms and said, "Please rest assured, young lady. Although we are bandits, our village has its own rules. We will never just burn, kill, and rob people indiscriminately."

An Yue nodded thoughtfully:
