After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

The room was very quiet and no one spoke for a while.

To be honest, everyone feels a little reluctant to give the food away to others.

Although there is water in the fields now, what if the water in the mountains disappears in a few days? The kudzu root in the mountains is the family's life-saving food.

But as Zhang Hulan said, they were all from the same village, and were almost related to each other for generations. It would be hard to live with her conscience to see them starve to death.

Finally, it was Old Man Zhang who spoke up, "Tell the head of the village. If it really comes to that, what's the point of us being alone? The whole world will probably be in chaos. If there are more people, everyone can look after each other."

When Old Man Zhang spoke, neither Wang nor Zhang Hujun had much to say. Li was a traditional woman who put her husband first, and if the men in the family had no objections, she certainly wouldn't have any.

After dinner, Zhang Hulan took two pieces of Pueraria root and went to Zhao Guoliang's house.

"Tiger Orchid is here, come in and sit down!"

Zhao Guoliang and his family were all there. Zhou quickly moved a stool for Zhang Hulan. "Hulan, come and sit down. Why are you here? Is there something?"

"I haven't seen you for many years, you have really changed. If it weren't for you, Grandma Shanzi would probably be gone today."

"We are all from the same village, so we should help if we can."

"Uncle village head, Aunt Zhou, I'm here to tell you, do you recognize this thing?" Zhang Hulan said as she showed the Pueraria root in her hand to Zhao Guoliang and He Zhou.

Zhao Guoliang and Zhou took the kudzu root and looked at it. They both nodded and shook their heads. "I've seen this thing before. It's on the mountain. I just don't know what it is."

Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Village Chief, Aunt Zhou, this is Pueraria root, a traditional Chinese medicine, but it can also be eaten as food."

Zhao Guoliang and Zhou's eyes widened instantly. "What did you say? Can this be used as food?"

"Yes, it can be eaten as food."

Zhang Guoliang looked at Zhang Hulan with shining eyes, "Hulan, don't lie to me, is this really edible?"

Zhang Hulan nodded again to confirm, "Uncle Village Chief, we've been eating this for three days."

Zhou said, "Hu Lan, can you tell us about this?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Village Head, Aunt Zhou, there's a lot of this stuff on the mountain. If we dig it all up, we should be able to survive for a while. As long as we can survive for a month or so, we can harvest the millet. We'll be fine after we get through this period."

Zhao Guoliang excitedly stood up from his stool. "Great, great, great! I've seen this stuff in the mountains. It's found in many places. If we dig it all up, we'll definitely be able to eat it for days. Tiger Orchid, thank you in advance on behalf of everyone!"

When Zhao Guoliang's son and daughter-in-law heard that there was food on the mountain, they also came out.

Zhou patted the back of Zhang Hulan's hand and said, "Oh, you are so kind-hearted... If you hadn't told me about the kudzu root in the mountains, your family wouldn't have to worry about having no food to eat."

"Aunt Zhou, I won't say anything, but my parents and my eldest brother have lived in the village for decades and have a bond with the villagers.

They don't want to just feed themselves and watch everyone else go hungry. There aren't many people in the village anymore, so we should all work together to overcome this difficult time."

"Okay! Okay..."

When Zhao Guoliang heard what Zhang Hulan said, he didn't know what to say and just kept saying yes.

"Zhao Cheng, go and notify the villagers to hold a meeting and ask them to bring their hoes."

"Okay, Dad!"

Zhao Cheng immediately ran out and shouted, "It's time for a meeting... Everyone, bring your hoes and go to my house for the meeting..."

All the villagers quickly gathered at Zhao Guoliang's house. When they heard the shouting to bring their hoes, they thought that the water in the mountain had run away or someone was coming to steal the water.

But when they saw Zhao Guoliang's excited look, they knew it was probably not a bad thing.

Everyone who could move in the village came, including Wang, Zhang Hujun, Li and others.

Zhao Guoliang said loudly: "I have good news for everyone. Hu Lan found something edible for everyone."

"Something edible?" The villagers' eyes began to light up.

Zhao Guoliang held up two kudzu roots in his hand and said, "This is it. Many people must have seen it, but they don't recognize it and don't dare to eat it."

"Hu Lan told me about this. It's called Pueraria root, a traditional Chinese medicine. Hu Lan's family has been taking it for three days."

The villagers suddenly became agitated. "Li Zheng, is this true? Is this really edible?"

Some villagers also pulled Wang and Zhang Hujun aside and asked, "Is it true? Did you really eat it?"

"It's true, this thing is quite delicious. We have been eating it for two or three days."

When the villagers saw that Wang and Zhang Hujun said they had already eaten, they were all impatient to go up the mountain to dig.

Zhao Guoliang shouted again: "Everyone, please be quiet."

The villagers all quieted down and listened to what Zhao Guoliang had to say.

"This is what Hu Lan told me. It was the Zhang family who took out the food they were eating and distributed it to everyone. You must remember this kindness."

"If they hadn't said anything, their family could have gotten through this most difficult period peacefully."

"But they didn't do that. Hu Lan told me that her parents and her eldest brother have lived in the village for decades and have a strong bond with the villagers. They don't want to just focus on eating their own food while watching others go hungry. Everyone should unite and overcome difficulties together."

"Hu Lan is right. There aren't many people in the village right now. We should work together to get through this period."

"So, except for the old and the young, everyone goes to work. The women can be responsible for digging, and the men are responsible for carrying it down the mountain."

"The kudzu roots we dug up will be divided among the people. Everyone will get a share. However, the elderly and children can get a smaller share."

"Everyone has children and elderly people at home, so don't give me any whining."

No one had any objections, and even those who did dare to voice them didn't. How many families didn't have elderly people and children? If anyone dared to say they wouldn't give them a share, wouldn't that incur public outrage?

An elderly man said, "We can also help. We are responsible for cleaning the kudzu roots in the village."

Zhang Hulan said, "Don't wash the kudzu roots you've dug. We can't eat all of them right away. You can dig a hole in the yard and bury them. You can dig them out when you're ready to eat. This way they can be preserved for a long time. If you leave them all out in the open, they'll dry up in a few days."

A villager quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, it must be preserved well. There is still more than a month left, so we have to save it and eat it slowly."

The villagers began to take action.

Zhang Hujun led the villagers to the kudzu forest, and the villagers exclaimed, "It's such a large area, how much do we have to dig?"

If it is cultivated kudzu root, one acre can yield about 3,000 kilograms, but the yield of wild-grown kudzu root is definitely not that high. However, after digging these two or three acres, it is estimated that there will be two or three thousand kilograms.

Zhao Guoliang said, "Don't look at it anymore, hurry up and dig it up. These are all food. They are what we need to save our lives."

The villagers all started to take action. The area was so wide, so everyone dispersed.

Those who want to dig dig, those who want to pick up pick, and those who want to carry things down the mountain carry them down the mountain.

Everyone has work to do and no one is lazy.

But kudzu root is not easy to dig. Some kudzu roots are very long and need to be dug very deep into the ground.
