Chapter 262: Nothing Gained

```

The harvested China root was stored in the junk room because they didn't know how to handle it and didn't dare to wash it. They simply peeled off the clean mud and left it on a winnowing basket to dry.

Zhou SiLang planned to try his luck in the mountains the next day, and he tried hard to convince his father, "Just look at what Manbao has found before, hasn't everything been valuable? Those privet fruits in the mountains, last year, Big Brother and Second Brother dried and sold them for nearly an ounce of silver, and the Chinese yams we're growing in the fields, not to mention the ginger Manbao wants to plant. Our family doesn't make as much money in a whole year of farming as we do from those, so this China root might even be more profitable."

Manbao nodded repeatedly. She based it on scarcity, reasoning that since China root became extinct so early in the future, it must certainly be very valuable, right?
