The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system
Chapter 24 Discovering Cassava
Xiaomi heard Zhao Lishui talking and turned around quickly. She hugged Zhao Lishui's thighs. Because she was too short to hug her waist, she could only hug her thighs.
He said excitedly: "Aunt. Food. Lots of food. All food. Hahahahahahahahahaha" He couldn't help laughing out loud as he said that.
Zhao Lishui was also very excited when she heard Xiaomi say that it was all food. "Oh my god, this is great. I won't be starving to death now." She picked up Xiaomi and spun him around a few times.
Xiaomi was so frightened that she screamed continuously. Daya quickly picked Xiaomi up and said to Zhao Lishui: "Mom, you scared your dear."
Zhao Lishui scratched her head and said to Daya, "Oh, your mother is so happy!"
After that, he walked into the bushes, picked up a stick, and poked around. Then he said to Xiaomi: "My dear, do you want to eat the leaves? These leaves are quite big. If you collect them all, they will probably last for a few days."
As he said this, he was about to pull out all the cassava leaves.
Xiaomi saw it and quickly stopped him, "Aunt, this is for eating roots. It's similar to sweet potatoes."
After hearing this, Zhao Lishui immediately squatted down, broke the stick in his hand, and used the stick to dig at the bottom of the bushes.
Daya and Xiaomi also came to help. Because it hadn't rained for a long time, the land was very dry. There were hard lumps on the ground.
It was very difficult to dig. But the three of them dug very hard. As long as it was edible, they would dig hard even if it was just dirt.
It took two cups of tea to dig out the whole cassava.
Zhao Lishui looked at the earth-colored lumps on the ground. There were actually many of them on one root. They were all quite large.
He lowered his head and said to Xiaomi Daya, "This looks like a tree root."
Daya and Xiaomi also nodded. It is indeed a bit similar, not only in color, but also in shape, except that it is much thicker than the tree root.
Xiaomi wanted to pick up Cassava, but forgot that he was still a child. He tried hard but failed to pick up Cassava. Instead, he fell to the ground.
Zhao Lishui quickly picked up Xiaomi and patted the dirt off her body. She said, "Oh, my dear. I hope you didn't fall."
Xiaomi: "No, aunt."
Zhao Lishui said to Xiaomi, "Let's go back. Let them have a look. After they have seen it, we will have this for lunch."
After saying that, he asked Daya to hold the cassava, while he held Xiaomi and walked towards the camp.
When Daya arrived at the camp, she saw Old Lady Wang and ran over like a rabbit, hopping and skipping. The cassava in her hand did not affect her movements at all.
As he ran, he shouted, "Grandma, look what we dug up. Guaibao said this is edible."
When the villagers in the camp heard Daya's words, they all followed her and walked towards the Wang family camp.
Qian Laosi followed closely behind, staring at the cassava in Daya's hand. He said, "Wow, this thing is so big; just this one should be enough to fill me up."
He swallowed his saliva as he spoke. There was nothing he could do. There was not much food at home, and he hadn't had a full meal for a long time.
Qian Youfu followed behind and listened to what Qian Laosi said. He nodded and said, "Yes, this is too big. It's like a big pile. The one that Daya took is enough for the whole family to eat for a day."
The villagers all echoed, with envy evident in their eyes.
I envy the Wang family's good luck. In the past half month of fleeing famine, the Wang family has found a lot of things.
But it was just envy. These simple villagers did not have any dark thoughts.
When Daya walked up to Old Lady Wang, a large group of people had already gathered behind her.
Everyone was waiting to see how to eat this thing. Even Chief Qian followed with his cane.
When everyone saw Chief Qian, they all moved aside to allow Chief Qian to walk smoothly into the Wang family camp.
Qian Youliang also followed closely beside Chief Qian, and went in under the pretext of supporting Chief Qian.
When Tiedan saw Chief Qian, he quickly moved a small chair and placed it next to Chief Qian. He said to Chief Qian, "Grandpa Chief, please sit here."
Chief Qian first touched Tiedan's head, smiled and said, "Good boy, good boy." Then he was helped by Qian Youliang to sit down.
After sitting down, he said to Daya, "Daya, can you eat this thing you picked up? How do you eat it?"
Daya looked at Chief Qian, nodded and said, "Yes, Chief Grandpa, you can eat it. Guaibao said so. How to eat it..."
When it comes to how to eat, she stops talking and looks at Xiaomi.
When Chief Qian saw Daya looking at Xiaomi, he turned to look at Xiaomi. The villagers saw Chief Qian looking at Xiaomi, and they all followed suit.
For a moment, countless eyes were staring at Xiaomi, waiting for him to tell them how to eat cassava.
Xiaomi was still in Zhao Lishui's arms at this time. Seeing everyone staring at her, she shuddered. So many eyes were quite creepy.
Old Lady Wang saw Xiaomi shivering and quickly took Xiaomi from Zhao Lishui's arms.
She said to the villagers, "Why are you staring at me? You're scaring our little one. I don't want that."
The villagers recalled the "great achievements" of Old Lady Wang in Lotus Village.
I remember the time when I quarreled with my mother over a vegetable. She put her hands on her waist and scolded the whole family.
The scolding was never the same throughout the day. Old Mrs. Qian and her daughter-in-law were scolded so badly that they had no chance to fight back.
Old Mrs. Qian didn't win the argument and was so angry that she lay in bed for three days before she recovered.
Thinking of this, the villagers quickly retracted their gazes.
Xiaomi patted Mrs. Wang's arm to show that she was not scared; then she asked Mrs. Wang to put her down.
He said to Chief Qian: "Grandpa Chief, this is called cassava. It can be eaten. But it must be cooked before eating. It is poisonous if eaten raw."
When Goudan heard this, he slowly took his hand off the cassava. He patted his chest and thought to himself, "That was a close call. I almost got a bite."
Xiaomi glanced at Goudan and said, "You can also roast it over a fire. It's very filling. But pregnant women and children shouldn't eat too much."
After listening to Xiaomi, Old Lady Wang immediately asked Wang Zhuzi to build a fire. When there was enough charcoal, she put the cassava in.
While waiting for the cassava to be cooked, the villagers did not leave. They surrounded the Wang family camp directly. They just wanted to see the old lady Wang dig out the cassava with their own eyes.
See if it is edible or not. Check if it is poisonous or not. As for the taste, it is the least important.
After all, in previous years in Lotus Village, there was nothing to eat in winter, and everyone even ate tree bark. In their opinion, as long as it was edible and would not kill people, that was fine.
Qian Yongye also stayed at Wang's house.
Because the food Daya brought back was called cassava, which he had never seen in books.
So I wanted to see it with my own eyes this time. See how it differs from other foods.
