Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 379 - 249: Plantain Herb (Part 3)

Then Xiaomi found something to do, patted her backside, and prepared to go out: "Mom, I’m going to look around for plantain grass to see how it’s growing!"

Unfortunately, she still hadn’t managed to bring down that Lingzhi she saw by the cliff’s edge.

She wondered if she could find Lingzhi in the mountains around Xiangmu Village.

If she could find a growing Lingzhi, she could take the whole patch of soil into her space, and she believed that it would propagate a large field of Lingzhi there!

What a pity.

Actually, she had also planted herbs in her space, higher-end ones like Panax notoginseng and Polygonum multiflorum, even a few ginseng seeds which had sprouted, but sadly hadn’t flowered yet.

Too bad it’s just the most ordinary American ginseng.

But if it could grow in the space for several years and be nourished by Spiritual Energy, when it flowers and bears fruit, the seeds will surely be different from ordinary American ginseng, and its medicinal effects will definitely be much better.

Xiaomi had it all planned; it would take about three years for the ginseng to flower since it was planted, and this year was already the second year.

By the time the ginseng flowers next year, she would pretend to dig up a seed-bearing plant from the mountain, have Uncle Liu help sell the ginseng, and then openly plant the seeds in her own yard.

What’s raising chickens or planting crops compared to what she wanted to do? She wanted to raise peacocks and grow precious medicinal herbs!

Those were the real money-makers!

Her family had no power, influence, or background. To become wealthy, they could only rely on things from the fields.

Since she had the ability, why not develop it? Was the Spiritual Spring water not useful? Or was making money too quick?

Xiaomi hopped out the door, pondering her plans for the future with a silly grin, like a fool who’d found a bun.

Fortunately, no one was home at the moment; Qixi had gone to help build the pigsty, Aunt Yang was helping to clean up the meals, and even Uncle Liu had gone to watch them build the pigsty.

It was just Xiaomi and her mother in the house, so nobody saw her silly smile.

Plantain grass was really everywhere; it was one of the least valuable and most unremarkable herbs.

There were many self-heal plants next to it, all growing by the creek, in patches, plenty of them, and some spots showing signs of recent digging.

It seemed that the best and biggest ones had been dug up by her mother.

Xiaomi wasn’t in a hurry. She turned back, got a dung ladle from the house, and scooped water from the creek to pour on the patches with the most plantain grass.

She claimed those two spots of plantain grass!

When everyone takes a nap at noon and there’s no one by the creek, she’ll come and water them with Spiritual Spring!

She believed that even if she only planted a few points’ worth of plantain grass, this most common and everywhere herb could definitely let her parents see the benefits of growing herbs!

Even though everyone in the family was extremely healthy because of the Spiritual Spring water, and no one had been sick,

That didn’t mean she didn’t know how expensive it was to get a prescription filled!

Frankly, besides the doctor’s consultation fee, it was the medicinal ingredients themselves that were truly expensive.

You could see from her mother’s reaction that almost no one had the concept of growing medicinal herbs. Maybe families who practiced medicine planted a bit.

But that was just a drop in the bucket; it couldn’t even make a ripple in the entire pharmaceutical industry.

The herbs collected by pharmacies mostly came from everyone’s foraging. Almost every clinic collected herbs in large quantities and even posted pictures of various herbs at the clinic’s door.

It was like this in the town before, and she had seen it several times when she was in Cheng County. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

So Xiaomi didn’t doubt for a moment about making money from herbs.

In fact, as long as you mastered the growth habits of herbs, growing them was just like farming, except people weren’t aware of it, generally believing that land could only be used for growing food.

This gave Xiaomi the opportunity to develop her family into semi-herbal farmers in a few years.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have many herbal seeds in her space. When she advances in planting medicinal herbs, she could ask someone to get more seeds for various herbs.

Ling’er did say that the space needs diversity; the more diverse and valuable it is, the faster it upgrades!

Before, she planted all the basic crops and raised the most common poultry, and it took six years just to level up once.

And leveling up once caused such a big change in the space; she wondered what it would become after leveling up again?

The more she thought about it, the more curious she became, and the sooner she wanted to plant the herbs.

Thinking this, she bent down and pulled up two plantain grass plants and casually threw them into the space.

Having Ling’er was convenient; she didn’t need to worry about anything. She just put things into the space, and Ling’er would take care of everything.
