"Zhang Wang's recent proposal concerning Bags Mountain clearly implied a willingness to accept a price below market value, or perhaps just a token amount.

Song Tan appreciated his kindness.

When he just mentioned leasing his mountain land to Song Tan, he was referring to the slope right below his house, which connected directly to the barren land behind the mountain.

About twenty acres, making up one-sixth of this bowl-shaped mountain range. The forest land certainly wasn't as profitable as farmland, but Zhang Wang's family was capable, and cultivating kudzu roots there could also be profitable.

At first, growing kudzu wasn't intentional.

It was just that there were many kudzu vines growing wild in the forests, and Zhang Wang's wife, being resourceful, once dug up a couple of hundred pounds during winter, sun-dried them, and made over ten pounds of kudzu powder. Apart from keeping some for their children, they made a profit of nearly a thousand or eight hundred yuan.
