Packaging the kudzu root is purely hard work.
However, before starting to package it, Song Tan contacted the vegetable vendor Old Zhao: "Do you want some kudzu root powder?"
"From your family's?" Old Zhao instantly perked up, and the next moment he began to tally the cash he had on hand.
"No." Song Tan ruthlessly shattered his dream, but then offered a sweet date: "It's from our village, but I guarantee the quality is better than what you buy in the market."
Old Zhao became lively: "What's the price?"
Song Tan turned to consult with Zhang Yanping: "What do you think is a fair price per pound?"
Zhang Yanping was busy arranging people to go to Doctor Xiaoguo's clinic to help clean up the kudzu vines; without raising her head, she remarked, "You've already said it's better than the market's, and not as good as ours, so let's just make it about the same—88 yuan per pound."
