After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed a small shrub that was slightly taller than her.

After steadying herself, she turned back with annoyance to look at the thing that tripped her.

When she found out it was dead grass, she angrily slapped the small bush that had just saved her life.

As she slapped the bushes, icicles on the bushes fell down.

Soon, the original appearance of the shrub gradually emerged.

She subconsciously felt that it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where it was for a moment, so she continued walking back.

But after walking about ten meters, he quickly retreated.

This tree seems, as if, maybe, to be cassava?

Thinking of this, she took out a bone-chopping knife from the space while squatting down and chopped it directly on the ground.

After breaking the surface layer of ice, she used the knife as a hoe and slowly dug down.

It would be nice if this were cassava.

There is a lot of it here, mostly cassava.

That meant that she no longer had to worry about food.

Not only her, but she can also provide the coarse grains needed by her brother Zheng.

Cassava can be made into cassava flour, which can be made into many delicious foods.

Such as the vermicelli in pork stew, the vermicelli in ants climbing trees, and some local special snacks, large intestine rice noodle dumplings, and the pearls in pearl milk tea.

These are all made of cassava flour...

Thinking about these, especially the bubble tea, she couldn't help but drool.

If this is really cassava, after making it into cassava flour, she will definitely find a way to make herself a cup of bubble milk tea.

Su Rongrong was very strong, and the bone-chopping knife was sharp, so it didn't take long for her to see the tree root, no, it was cassava.

The skin of these cassavas was all reddish-brown. In order to confirm her guess, she reached out to peel it.

If she remembered correctly, this cassava with a reddish-brown skin is sweet cassava if the skin can be easily peeled off, and the fleshy inner skin is light pink and the flesh is milky white or light yellow.

This sweet cassava contains mild toxins and can be eaten directly after being cooked, but its starch content is correspondingly low and its yield is also low.

If the skin is gray-brown and difficult to peel off, and the flesh is white, it is bitter cassava.

Bitter cassava has high yield and starch content.

Of course, bitter cassava is also high in toxins and cannot be eaten directly. The skin must be peeled off and soaked in water for five or six days before it can be eaten.

Fortunately, she was lucky. After peeling off the skin with great effort, she saw the flesh, which was light yellow.

Although it has been frozen by Dongcheng, the light yellow and white are still easy to distinguish.

Because of this discovery, she quickly dug out the remaining cassava and began to check the surrounding bushes.

At the same time, she shouted to Da Hu who was on the tree, "Brother Da Hu, if you have picked the chestnuts, come over here.

I found cassava. The whole area is full of cassava.

The yield of this thing is higher than that of grain, and it is more filling. If it is made into powder, it can be stored for a long time.

With these, neither we nor the disaster victims need to worry about food for the time being."

She and Baili Zheng had never walked in this direction before, and they were in a hurry, so they didn't notice such a large area of ​​cassava.

If I had known, well, if I had known, I wouldn’t have had time to dig at that time.

So, fortunately, she and Dahu came out today, otherwise we would have missed it in vain.

Unfortunately these are sweet cassava, which is not high in starch.

But it doesn’t matter, being able to eat it directly by steaming it is better than anything else.

The big tiger on the chestnut tree heard her shouting and quickly picked all the chestnut balls he could see.

Then pick up all the chestnut balls on the ground and put them into the backpack.

When he came to Su Rongrong, he saw that she was holding a bone-chopping knife that she had gotten from somewhere and was struggling to dig the frozen soil.

And next to it, there was something she dug out, which was similar to a sweet potato, but bigger than a sweet potato.

"Miss Rongrong, is this the cassava you mentioned? Can it be eaten as food?"

Su Rongrong nodded: "Yes, the one we just dug is sweet cassava. I thought this whole area was sweet cassava, but now it seems that it is not.

What I dug in my hand should be bitter cassava.

Brother Dahu, the roots, stems and leaves of cassava are all poisonous, especially the fresh roots, which are very toxic.

So you'd better not touch it directly with your hands.

Sweet cassava is less toxic, while bitter cassava is very toxic.

Therefore, these cannot be eaten raw. Even sweet cassava is best not to be eaten raw. It must be cooked.

Oh, the bitter cassava needs to be peeled, cut into sections, soaked in water, and then the water needs to be changed every two hours.

It can be eaten after five or six days, or seven or eight days.

Otherwise, if it is not processed, even if it is cooked, it will kill people if eaten!"

Da Hu felt that it was a bit troublesome after hearing what she said.

But when I think about it, these are all food. In the current situation, as long as something can be eaten, no matter how troublesome it is, it is precious.

Therefore, he looked at the cassava trees and turned to Su Rongrong and said:

"Miss Rongrong, can you stay here alone?

If possible, I will take the chestnuts back first, and then bring a hoe and shovel to dig them."

"Well, no problem for me, you can go back first. Otherwise, we won't be able to take these back when the time comes."

Da Hu looked at their location, then looked up at the sky, then quickly walked back the way he came, carrying the two packed backpacks, one in each hand, and walked down the mountain.

When he got home, he took the hoe and shovel from Su Manman and Su Qiaoqiao and was ready to leave.

Su Manman chased after him and asked, "Brother Dahu, why are you back? Where is my elder sister?

Also, you are still going up the mountain with your hoe, shovel, backpack and basket?"

As Da Hu walked out, he replied, "Well, your elder sister found a kind of food in the mountains, she said it's called cassava."

He has been with his grandfather since he was a child and doesn't know these things at all.

But he believed Su Rongrong. Since she said it was food, it must be.

When Su Manman heard this, she quickly said, "Food? Then I'll go too!"

Da Hu didn't agree, but just said: "The mountain road is not easy to walk on, you are still young, you can't do it!"

Without anyone to guide her, Su Manman didn't dare go out alone in such weather, and in the end could only give up with regret.

Su Rongrong and Dahu didn't even have a meal that day, and stayed in the mountain all day.

As it was getting dark, the two men, who were extremely cold, stopped digging cassava.

"Brother Dahu, take some of these cassava down the mountain first, and I'll take care of the rest.

By the way, after you go down the mountain, tell the village chief that there is cassava on the mountain. Although it is poisonous, it can be used as food if handled properly.

If the villagers want it, they can come and dig it tomorrow."

It’s not that Su Rongrong is poor and generous, but the wind is blowing again and the rain is getting heavier.

If it were just her and Da Hu, it would take them no time to finish digging.

And today, I don’t even know if I can go out tomorrow.
