Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Under the moonlight, three somewhat familiar things lay in the soil, making Shu Yu’s eyes suddenly happy.

Daniu had yet to see it and said curiously, “l wonder what they dug up. It’s a pity that I was hiding too far away and couldn’t see it.”

After a pause, he continued, “No wonder they insisted on breaking off ties with Fourth Uncle and even wanted to take back this courtyard. It turns out that it was because of the treasure hidden in this courtyard. Then this…” Before Daniu could finish, Shu Yu squatted down and picked up a small black object from the ground.

“What is this?” How did Yu see such a black and small thing? He had widened his eyes just now, but he couldn’t see it.

Shu Yu picked up all three seeds and placed them in his palm. He smiled and said,” These are melon seeds.’

“Melon seeds?” Daniu frowned. “Melon seeds don’t look like this.’

Shu Yu shook her head. “These are sunflower seeds. They’re different from the ones you’ve seen before.”

The melon seeds of this era were watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds. Sunflower seeds had never appeared in the Dasu dynasty.

The sunflower seeds in her hands were imported.

For the people of the Dasu dynasty, imported goods could be called treasures.

“This sunflower seed is a good thing.” Shu Yu remembered that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a record of sunflower seeds.

30 to 40 coins were three to four taels (monetary) of silver.

A catty of melon seeds was worth three to four taels (monetary). If she planted too many, he would be letting down this imported product if he did not earn a few hundred or even a thousand taels a day.

Also, planting sunflowers could be used to enrich the fields. After the stems were burned to ashes, they could be boiled with water to dry them. They could be used to make soap.

Sunflowers could also be used to extract oil. A unit of area could produce about 50 buckets of seeds, and each bucket could produce one liter of oil.

If there were too many sunflowers, they could be treated as a scenic spot like the peach blossom forest in the county town.

“No, I can’t think about it anymore. If I think about it again, I won’t be able to control my restless fingers.” She thought.

Shu Yu shook her head and exhaled. She lowered her voice and said to Daniu,

“This thing can be planted. I’ll try to plant it later. Didn’t Boss Yuan say that he didn’t recognize this thing? It’s okay, I know it. When he sells it in the county town, we’ll find someone to buy it.”

Daniu’s eyes widened. “This is a treasure?”

“Yes, but we don’t know many people here.” No, it should be said that in the entire Dasu dynasty, there might not be many people who knew.

Daniu grinned. Yu was knowledgeable.

Shu Yu carefully put away the three sunflower seeds. “Alright, since we know that there’s something fishy about this courtyard, let’s go.”

“Yes.

The two of them covered up the footprints beside the soil they had dug out. Then, they climbed over the wall and left the Yuan family’s courtyard. Soon, they returned to Shangshi Village.

They were quite lucky. As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, a few drops of rain fell from above.

Seeing the rain, Shu Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “The rain came at the right time. Our footprints were washed away.”‘

Although they had covered it up before they left, it was inconvenient to do things in the middle of the night. Who knew if the eldest son of the Yuan family would notice something strange when they went over tomorrow?

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Shu Yu quickened her pace and started running.

“Brother Daniu, I’ll go back first. You should hurry home too. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it after dawn..”
