I didn't expect that the Houttuynia cordata that I love so much is ignored here. I feel happy and sad at the same time.

The good thing is that I can eat as much as I want. Wild ones are much better than those grown by myself, and they are also very fragrant. The sad thing is that they are worthless, so I can only eat them dry. If I grow them, I can't sell them for a penny, so there is no point.

Yun Tao: "Sanniu, I have a task for you. When you go back later, ask your eldest brother and second brother to come together, and the four of us will dig this Houttuynia cordata together. This Houttuynia cordata is edible and very delicious. I will make it myself when I go back later, and I guarantee you will all like it."

Sanniu said in horror: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? You want me to dig this stinky grass, but I don't want to dig it. I can't stand the smell. I want to vomit it as soon as I smell it. It's too disgusting. I really can't stand it. Some people in the village who are used to the smell don't like to eat this. Otherwise, I can help you find someone to dig it, is that okay?"

Yun Tao: "Your eldest brother and second brother should be able to do it."

Sanniu: "Mom, you'd better give up on this idea. My eldest and second brothers are even worse. They hate this houttuynia cordata even more than I do. When we were in trouble and hungry in the past, we never thought of eating this as a family. You'd better give up on this idea."

3. As soon as you said this, you ran away, running faster than a rabbit.

Yun Tao was very depressed. Such delicious Houttuynia cordata was hated by people here. If it were in modern times, so many Houttuynia cordata would dig up your field ridges.

I just need to dig up the peaches one by one, and dig up as many as I can eat. I also dig up some to see if I can sell them in town.

Just when Yuntao was about to go back, she ran into Tiezhu on the road.

Tiezhu looked at Yuntao in surprise and said, "Yuntao, why are you digging this stinky grass? Your family is the best off in our village. Have you encountered any difficulties? Do you need to eat stinky grass to survive now? I see that the workshop is still running normally. Besides, you have hundreds of acres of land in the village now, so you don't have to eat this stinky grass."

Tiezhu covered his nose after saying this.

Yun Tao said embarrassedly: "Tiezhu, is this so smelly? I think this stinky grass is very fragrant. It smells so good that it makes me feel drunk. And it is edible."

Tiezhu: "I know it is edible, all weeds are edible. The key is that no one eats it now, and it smells very bad. There are very few people in the village who eat it. In the past, people only ate it when they were too poor to eat it, and that was something only a few families did. Most people can't stand the smell and find it disgusting."

“If you don’t believe it, go ask the people in the village.

Yun Tao stopped talking after hearing this. She was a little withdrawn from what Tie Zhu said, and she didn't dare to talk about the benefits of Houttuynia cordata anymore.

Tiezhu looked at Yuntao. Thinking that he had embarrassed Yuntao, he quickly turned his head and said, "If you like, you can take back the many things I dug from the fields."

Tiezhu pointed to a place, and there were indeed a lot of dug-up Houttuynia cordata there, piled up like a small hill.

Yuntao left without saying anything, holding some houttuynia cordata. These houttuynia cordata were dried and could not be eaten cold, but they could be soaked in water and drunk. He also went to the town to ask if he could sell them for silver, and if so, how much silver per pound.

There weren't enough dried houttuynia, so Yuntao used some to soak in water and drank it. The wild ones tasted good, and the taste of houttuynia was quite strong, and it was intoxicating when you drank it.

Whenever Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu and the lady saw Yun Tao drinking the water from Houttuynia cordata, they would stay away from her.

Sanniu: "Brother, when did mom start liking this thing? And it seems like she loves it so much. This smell really makes me uncomfortable. I feel sick and want to vomit. It's really uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable."

Erniu also nodded in agreement.

The lady couldn't understand her mother-in-law's hobby. This smell was worse than the feces in the toilet, why was she so obsessed with it? She had to smell it every day to feel comfortable, and her face was full of happiness.

A few days later, Yuntao took some Houttuynia cordata to the town's pharmacy.

As soon as he entered the store, the waiter knew that Yun Tao had stinkweed on her.

Waiter: "Sir, do you need to buy some medicinal herbs?"

Yun Tao: "I am planning to sell it, but I don't know if you will accept it."

Waiter: "Are you talking about the stinky grass in your arms?"

Yun Tao nodded and said, "Yes, little brother, that's it. I just want to ask. Can I sell it for silver? I have a lot of it at home."

Brother Two: "To be honest, this won't sell for much money. The reason why there are so many is that people in the town don't like to eat this song. Even the smell of this song doesn't like me. In fact, I don't like the smell of this song either. When I first smelled it, I thought it was so stinky, extremely stinky, and the smell is very strong and pungent."

"It's just that I'm used to working in a pharmacy, dealing with some medicinal herbs. This stinkweed is actually a medicinal herb. But it's not used much, and the price is very cheap. And when people prescribe medicine, they won't put this stinkweed in it unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, stinkweed can clear away heat and detoxify, and many medicinal herbs also have this function."

Yun Tao felt disheartened when she heard this.

Yun Tao: "Isn't this worth a single ounce of silver?"

The waiter said, "You can sell it for silver, but not much. One pound is only a few copper coins, and it's not weighed, one pound is a big bag. All the poor people don't like to dig this, because it can't be sold for much money. If you have the spare time, you might as well go dig wild vegetables to sell."

Yun Tao looked at the houttuynia in her backpack and said, "Look at how much I can sell it for. I'll sell it all to you so I don't have to carry it back." It's very troublesome, so I'll just sell it. I'll get some money, and I'll feel more balanced.

The waiter took the backpack and weighed it. It was a little over four pounds. I'll give you 18 cents.

Yun Tao was even more speechless after hearing this. Am I the kind of person who is short of 18 copper coins?

Yun Tao took the copper coins with tears in her eyes and walked out of the drugstore with a hopeless look on her face.

I thought Houttuynia cordata was cheap, but I didn't expect dried Houttuynia cordata to be so cheap. It's almost worthless. I can only say that it's a no-cost business. I don't have any cost.

Yun Tao returned home, and before she even sat down, she saw the four little ones standing in front of her, looking at her attentively.

Daniel: "Mom, have you sold it?"

Yun Tao forced out an awkward smile and said, "Sell it. It will definitely be sold if my mother helps."
