Chapter 110

Du Ruo first sighed and then said: "I believe you've heard, our family bought a few pieces of sandy land from the village head before."

Doctor Gu nodded. "I know."

Who in the village didn't know? The village head's wife used this as a joke, telling everyone that the Jiang family's Second Branch was stupid, exchanging four taels of silver for a few pieces of waste land that couldn't grow crops.

He himself had once mocked it behind their backs, wanting to see the Jiang family's Second Branch make a fool of themselves.

Du woman wouldn't be asking him to go look at those few pieces of land, right? Although he was a doctor, he only cared about treating people, he couldn't treat land...

Before he could figure it out, Du Ruo continued: "We bought that land at a loss, everything we plant dies, it's basically useless."

Doctor Gu thought, that's for sure.

"Later, I met a peddler in town by chance, who said he had a bag of precious medicinal seeds, sold from very far away. Originally, he wanted to make a big profit from it, but who knew, there wasn't a single person who knew the goods!"

"He heard our family had those few pieces of land, and he insisted on selling that bag of seeds to me, saying they were perfect for planting in sandy land. I thought, anyway, it wasn't expensive, ten *wen*, just like buying two buns, so I bought it."

"Now the medicinal herbs have grown, and they've grown quite well, it's just that they have a chicken-poop smell, it's so pungent!"

Speaking to this point, Du Ruo made a disgusted look. "You tell me, what kind of medicinal herb could have this smell? Could a patient even eat it? I thought I had been cheated, originally I wanted to just pull them out and use them as firewood, but I was a bit unwilling. So I wanted to ask you to go and take a look, to see what on earth it is."

A chicken-poop-smelling medicinal herb?

Doctor Gu stroked his three-pronged beard and pulled out every medicinal herb he knew in his heart.

Suddenly, his hand shook, and he accidentally pulled out a whisker.

He couldn't care about the pain and hurriedly asked: "What does it look like?"

Du Ruo thought for a moment. "Just a bare stalk, the fruit growing underneath is a bit like a sweet potato, but the smell is truly too pungent, I don't dare eat it."

Doctor Gu's heart was pounding, but on the surface, he pretended to be indifferent. "Is that so? Then fine, I'll go with you to take a look."

Just as he was about to walk out, Little Song Shi hurriedly called him.

"Husband, why the rush? Wash your face and change into a clean set of clothes before you go." Sweating all over, and lying on the bed for so long, he was nearly sour.

Du Ruo also smiled. "Yes, Doctor Gu, this matter isn't urgent, you take your time to wash up, I'll go wait outside."

After saying this, she turned and went into the courtyard.

Doctor Gu had no choice but to endure the excitement, and under Little Song Shi's care, he cleaned himself up before following Du Ruo toward the sandy land behind the mountain.

On the way, they ran into several groups of people, and seeing the two, they all gathered around to talk.

Some were concerned about Du Ruo's face, others were gossiping about Doctor Gu seeing a ghost, and they wasted a lot of time with their chatter.

Fortunately, they finally arrived.

Seeing that large patch of withered yellow stalks in the field, Doctor Gu could no longer control his excited heart and trembling hands.

It's it, it's it, it's exactly it!

He hurriedly knelt down, carefully pulled one of them apart, and sure enough, saw a yellow, oval-shaped fruit the size of a sweet potato!

This huge size, this intoxicating smell, it was actually top-grade *gu-du-you*!!

"How is it, Doctor Gu? Is it a precious medicinal herb?" Du Ruo's inquiry came from behind.

Doctor Gu's eyeballs turned rapidly.

In this instant, he thought of many things.

This whole patch of *gu-du-you*, there had to be at least a hundred *jin*, and just calculating at the lowest price per *jin*, it would be at least two...
