Chapter 37 The Delicious Fruits of Labor
But speaking of which, what kind of symbol should Shennong have?
A statue? Honestly, it's not something I can carve effectively right now, and Han Qiwu doesn't want to buy one.
He refuses to believe that the people who make Shennong statues actually have some sort of connection with Shennong!
A symbolic marker? Nothing appropriate comes to mind at the moment.
So what to do?
After thinking for a while, Han Qiwu came up with a temporary solution.
Next time he's planting crops, he'll arrange something grass-related into the shape of Shennong's name!
Shennong, who tasted hundreds of herbs, after all.
The idea is admittedly quite down-to-earth, but no matter how grounded it is, can it compare to Shennong Ancestor himself?
The Ancestor is the literal embodiment of "ground."
What we're doing here is connecting with the Ancestor.
