I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 264: Grinding Kudzu Root Powder

The surrounding trees are all bare trunks and branches, adding a bit of a sense of depression.

 Born in a high-tech era, winter is just a season to her and has no impact at all. But now, she was suddenly parachuted into this small mountain village, without heating or a down jacket, and it was the first time she had to endure the winter with her body. She felt really unsure.

I don’t know how cold the coldest temperature here can be in winter?

Although the winter in the original owner's memory was also covered by heavy snow and everything was white, there was a charcoal pot for burning in the house, and his son and daughter-in-law did the geography work at home.

As a mother-in-law, she only needs to sit on the couch with a small quilt draped over her body and do some needlework.

 Hence, the memory of winter was not very deep in the memory of the original owner.

As for the fact that several lonely elderly people freeze to death in the village every year, I heard from others, but the original owner never participated in this kind of fun. Therefore, she really doesn't know how harmful winter is.

After exercising, Baiyunxi walked to the backyard and saw Mr. Li and his second son cleaning kudzu roots.

Seeing the hands of several people that were red from the cold, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but blame them.

“Why are you so busy so early in the morning? It’s cold in the morning, so it’s not too late to start cleaning after breakfast.”

Bai Anyan raised his head and smiled honestly.

“It’s not too cold. Wash it early. Peel it and cut it into pieces after meals. You can mash it and filter it.”

Li also nodded in agreement,

“Mom, don’t worry, I’m sweating all over my body when I start working, and I’m not cold at all. Didn’t Mom say that the method of making kudzu starch and tapioca starch is the same? The kudzu root we brought back yesterday is enough for a day’s work.”

Bai Yunxi nodded, it was indeed true. There was no machine to replace it, so getting the kudzu powder was all done by manpower, which was hard work.

After breakfast, the family went directly to the backyard. The division of labor was the same as the last time when fetching cassava flour. The physical work was done by the second brother, and she and Du did the filtering.

The four and five boys were responsible for cutting into pieces, and even Yaya and Ruanruan were helping out. They would pass a ladle to Mrs. Li, get a towel, etc. The whole family mobilized, and no one was idle.

 The busy time passed quickly. By the time Baiyun River looked up, the sun had already risen above our heads.

Pour the dregs from the filter to the side. Baiyunxi looked up at the sun above his head, then turned to look at the kudzu next to him. In the whole morning, he had only processed less than half of it.

 “Okay, let’s stop and rest and continue in the afternoon.”

Baiyunxi waved his hand, saying it was impossible to do physical work without eating.

"Mom, I'm going to cook. Second brother and sister, you can send me a cabbage later." Mrs. Du wiped the handle on her apron and turned around to go to the front yard.

 “Hey~, I’ll pull it out right away.” Mrs. Li nodded, turned around and went to the vegetable field.

Baiyunxi went over to check the first tank of filtered kudzu water. Seeing that it had almost settled, he directly ordered Bai Anyan to pour out the excess water.

The Gegenshui generally settled for three hours.

 After that, dig out the wet kudzu root powder and put it on the grate to dry.

Li was passing by with a cabbage in her arms, and when she saw the yellowish water being poured out, revealing the white kudzu powder, she licked her tongue in excitement.

“It’s really unexpected that such an ugly kudzu root can filter out such white powder. It’s incredible.”

“I used to think that white flour is the whitest flour in the world, but I didn’t expect that arrowroot flour and tapioca flour are also so white, and they are more delicate and smooth than flour.”
