??The water in the tank has been changed twice, and the water in the upper layer looks much clearer. Zhao Baoqing stared at it and asked curiously, "What is this?"

??Song Hongguo explained, "For kudzu powder, mash it, filter and precipitate it several times, and it will look like this. Tomorrow, you can control the water and dry it in the sun. After drying, it will be similar to sweet potato starch and can be used When brewed with hot water and eaten, the taste is nothing special, but it is very good for the body. It can produce fluid and quench thirst, clear away heat and relieve troubles, and it can also be regarded as a medicinal medicine."

??Zhao Baoqing was already very excited when he heard that it was edible. When he heard that it was good for the body, his eyes lit up, "We also dug this kudzu root in the mountain? Where is it? Can it be turned into powder?"

Song Hongguo gave him a general description of the place. When he saw him frowning and thinking, he said, "How about I take you there tomorrow morning? How to make powder is not complicated, but it is a bit troublesome, and the amount of powder produced is not high." It’s so big that it takes more than ten kilograms to produce about one kilogram, but it’s better than nothing, and every household can have something to eat.”

??"You are right. As long as you can eat, not to mention only one pound of more than ten pounds, even one pound of one hundred pounds, you can still do this work. There is still more than a month before the wheat harvest, and several families have It’s almost time to stop, alas..." Zhao Baoqing sighed sadly, "The land is all gone and there is nothing edible to eat. Some people can’t stand it any longer and start digging grass roots and peeling tree bark into the mountains to eat. , if you eat too much of that stuff, you won’t be able to digest it, and you’ll suffer from bloating. Speaking of which, our place is actually pretty good. At least we are guarding a mountain. In other places, even Guanyin soil has been eaten, and some people have died of suffocation..."

??What could Song Hongguo say? She could only comfort herself, "It will get better..."

??Zhao Baoqing sighed again, "God won't rain. If the drought continues like this, I won't think about it this year."

"There is water in our village. Didn't you organize the members to water the wheat?"

??"Hey, what's the use of watering that little water pipe? It just wets the land. Our village is at the foot of the mountain. The land is thin and the fertilizer can't keep up. How do you expect to get more grain?" Zhao Baoqing shook his head and changed the subject. He circled back and said, "But the yam and kudzu you found are quite good. They can be eaten and nourished. We can count on the mountain to support us."

??"Then let's go tomorrow morning. I'll teach you first, and then you can tell everyone."

??"Okay, okay, Hongguo, you have been a big help. This is life-saving food. On behalf of the old and young in our village, thank you..." Zhao Baoqing looked grateful, and his words were sincere, You know, who is willing to shout out if they find someone who stutters?Wouldn’t it be nice to have a full meal at home?

??So, Song Hongguo's actions moved Zhao Baoqing very much. After taking a closer look, he felt even more grateful that he had not bothered to help her find a house in vain and settled down in the village.

??Sure enough, people have to behave well, and when the spring breeze blows, won't they see autumn rain?

??After Zhao Baoqing left, Song Hongguo saw the two little guys looking at her eagerly, and said funnyly, "If you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't understand, just ask."

??Ling Zhi shook his head.

??Song Hongguo raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you curious about why I did this?"

??Ling Yuan took over the words with a smile, "Brother must have figured it out. Why else? Of course my mother is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see the people in the village starve and suffer."

??Song Hongguo nodded, then shook her head, "Yes, but not entirely right."

??Ling Yuan blinked, "What's wrong?"

??Song Hongguo looked at Ling Zhi, wondering if he could understand.

??Ling Zhi muttered, "You didn't hide this, but chose to tell my uncle. Firstly, of course you have a kind heart. Secondly, it's too dangerous to eat alone. Thirdly, you also want to sell it at my uncle's place." Okay, let the people in the village know about your situation? So that we can stand firm in the village and not be bullied, right?"

??After he finished speaking, his face was still childish, but it had a maturity and complexity that did not match his age. He looked at her with an unnoticeable expectation in his eyes.

??Song Hongguo did not disappoint him and gave him a thumbs up, "It was very thorough and comprehensive."

??Ling Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

??Song Hongguo asked again, "Do you two have any objections? If I tell this matter, it will be impossible to dig yams and kudzu in the future. We will definitely not be able to rob them."

??Ling Yuan said, "I have no objection. I listen to my mother."

??Ling Zhi also shook his head, "You did that because of your family. We all understand that. Besides, our family is not so short of food now, but they are waiting for food to save their lives. There is always a priority..."

??Song Hongguo was overjoyed when she heard this. She was really worried that Ling Zhi would be reluctant to part with it. Once she was in a good mood, she became more energetic in cooking, "Let's eat pink chicken tonight!"

??Ling Yuan immediately cheered in agreement.

??Ling Zhi frowned, and when she took out a plucked chicken from the basket, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you buy it? It's more than three kilograms, right? How much does it cost?"

??Song Hongguo was amused by his distressed look. She was quite generous a second ago, but in the blink of an eye she was digging for it. While she was chopping chicken pieces, she said, "Someone is selling it secretly near the hospital. It’s not expensive and doesn’t require a ticket. Maybe I got it from the mountains. Anyway, it didn’t cost much..."

??Ling Zhi was dubious, but he didn't ask any more questions, and went to light the fire with great discernment.

??After Song Hongguo chopped the chicken, she blanch it in water first. This is not the free-range chicken that is fed grain nowadays, but the kind of meat-eating chicken bought from the mall. If it is not blanched, it will be very fishy, ​​and it will not taste good when stewed. It didn't taste good, so I had to fry it with heavy ingredients. Fortunately, it was fat enough. I cut most of the chicken into an enamel pot, and the meat was tender. After blanching, I washed it twice with cold water. The chicken skin shrank and the meat became firmer. It will be chewy and chewy after being fried like this.

??Pour oil into the pot, first add the ginger slices, stir-fry vigorously until the fragrance comes out, then add the peppercorns, star anise and green onion peppers, fry for a while, add the chicken pieces, stir-fry over high heat until the water in the stir-fried chicken pieces is dry. , when there is only oil at the bottom of the pot, you can put seasonings, salt, soy sauce, sugar. It would be better if you have some beer, but there is none at the moment. Song Hongguo can only use white wine instead, stir-fry until the chicken pieces are colored, and finally pour water. Wait until the water boils, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

??While waiting, she was not idle. She patted a few pancakes with stick noodles and stuck them around the edge of the pot. When she estimated that the time was almost up, she added the soaked vermicelli and cooked it for a while. The fire has reduced the juice, and at this time, the pancakes are also cooked, soft on one side, crispy on the other, and soaked in some soup at the bottom, which is the most delicious.

??The juicy chicken nuggets are bright red and the sauce is rich. The mother and son eat one pancake and one chicken, and they don’t even have time to say a few words. Song Hongguo actually likes to eat the pink skin here the most. It’s full. After adding the soup, it is soft and glutinous, and the taste is no worse than chicken nuggets. The only shortcoming of this dish is probably the lack of green and red peppers, but no one pays attention to this nowadays. Deliciousness is the king.

??After eating, there was only half of it left. Song Hongguo suddenly remembered Huo Minglou. If she had known better, she would have poured some out and brought it to him tomorrow.

??The system complained and looked down upon her behavior, "What have you been doing so long ago? When you are full, you think of your boyfriend. Are you still a human being?"

?? "..."
