Qian Fengping has never tried it, but expressed her willingness to give it a try. What if it is really edible?

The task of peeling fell on Qin Yan and Fang Nanzhi.

There were two bamboo knives at home, one for each of us, and we slowly scraped the skin.

With a scrape of the bamboo knife, a layer of the skin was scraped off, revealing the white flesh inside.

The two of them had no idea where to start at the beginning, but gradually became proficient.

Qin Yan was a little curious, "Zhizhi, how do you know this thing is edible?"

Fang Nanzhi was stunned and decisively passed the buck, "Dad said so. My dad said if I can eat it, I can eat it."

This kind of blame-shifting talk might be okay to fool children, but it won't fool Qin Yan.

The young man lowered his eyes, not intending to pursue the matter any further. He gripped the bamboo knife with his slender fingers and scraped off the last piece of skin.

A yam was successfully scraped.

But why did he feel his hands itchy?

Fang Nanzhi's hands also itched.

The two looked at each other for a moment, realized something, and tacitly spread out their hands, their palms were red and swollen.

Fang Nanzhi's face turned pale.

【System brother!!】

I'm poisoned!

The system replied calmly, "It's normal. Raw yam flesh will become red, swollen, and itchy if touched. Just warm it over a fire and it will be fine."

Fang Nanzhi said stubbornly, "Brother, this is normal. Just warm it up with fire."

Qin Yan looked at her suspiciously.

A big figure and a small figure sat on a small stool, warming their hands together under the kitchen stove.

After roasting for about an incense stick of time, the itchiness in my hands gradually subsided.

Qian Fengping was very worried, "Is this thing really edible?"

They had originally wanted to try it out of doubt, but their hands were swollen, and Qian Fengping doubted even more whether this thing was edible.

What Xitong Shenxian said was definitely correct, but he had no way of explaining this move.

Fang Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Let's try it first. When it's cooked, feed it to the chicken first."

There is also an old hen in the Qin family's backyard.

Qian Fengping was a little worried, but after thinking about it, she decided that this was the only option.

May God bless the old hen and save it from death.

The remaining yams were not peeled. They were all washed, cut into sections and cooked in boiling water.

The yam was quickly cooked until soft, and a hole was poked in it with chopsticks, emitting a faint yam fragrance.

Qian Fengping fished it out, let it cool down, and then tentatively took two pieces to feed the old hens in the backyard.

The family waited for half an hour and only after confirming that the old hen was still alive and kicking did Qian Fengping feel relieved.

There is still half a basin of yam left.

Qian Fengping gave the two children the unpeeled yam segments that they had scraped themselves.

If there was skin, she and Fang Tong would peel it and eat it together.

Fang Nanzhi couldn't wait any longer!

The white and tender yam is easy to bite into, and it has a wonderful sticky and slightly crunchy texture.

There was basically no taste except for the taste of yam. Fang Nanzhi picked up a piece of wild vegetable pickles to eat with it, and it was as if he had opened up a new world.

Yam is much more delicious than the whole grain pancakes in Lashaozi. It is soft and delicious when eaten with pickles.

The other three felt the same way.

At this meal, most of the yam was eaten, and there was still a lot left. The pickles were also finished, and the whole family had a full meal.

At the same time, several people were a little excited.

Now every household has nothing to eat, but they discovered a kind of edible food, and there is still a lot of it on the mountain, and it tastes pretty good, which can save lives!

Qian Fengping was equally happy: "Let's dig up more yams when we have time."

I have to say, it tastes really good.

"No problem." Fang Tong replied, "When the time comes, I'll bring a small hoe and dig two baskets of them back. I'll eat as much as I want!"

"However, when I left, I saw that there were still a lot of yams underground that we hadn't dug out. Even if we were alone, we couldn't dig them all up. I have a few brothers who are reliable. Why don't we take them with us to dig?"

Fang Tong said this after careful consideration.

Ever since he found out what his daughter said, he was always worried that his elder brother was plotting something bad towards them.

If there are really disaster victims coming, he can unite more people and then be able to fight against them.

"No problem." Qin Yan nodded in agreement.

In just a few moments, he thought more deeply.

"Uncle, you're right. Let's not make this public for now. My family and a few uncles will go dig it up first, and then tell the village."

"Many families are running out of food. It would be a shame if we were the only one with food to eat."

It's easy to make people jealous!

A starving person is likely to do anything out of jealousy.

It’s better to say it out first and get some benefits.

Fang Tong also agreed, and he went home to sleep in the afternoon.

As soon as it got dark, he took some cooked yams and left at Qian Fengping's earnest instructions.

In the woods at the entrance of the village, three big men were itching all over their bodies, scratching here and patting there.

The reason was simple: they had been lying in the woods feeding mosquitoes all day.

There are already many mosquitoes in the forest, and they are like a sheep that has strayed into a pack of wolves.

They had to kill two or three hundred mosquitoes today.

All three of them were covered in red bites, but there was nothing they could do. There was so much food hidden here that they dared not move an inch.

As the footsteps gradually approached, the three of them suddenly became alert.

Coming here so late... he must not be a good person!

Until a familiar voice came from the darkness.

"Tiezhu, Erwa, Goudan~"

After recognizing that it was Fang Tong's voice, the three of them relaxed.

"Here, here!" Erwa agreed softly and waved his hand.

Fang Tong hurried over.

The three complained.

Erwa was the first to speak, "You're finally here. You don't know, but the three of us have been staying here all day, not daring to move an inch."

Fang Tong smiled, "Good brother, thank you for your hard work!"

"I also brought you some food, try it quickly."

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag, which contained six pieces of yam.

"Hey, what is this?" The three men didn't bother to be polite with him. They all attacked and took away all the yam.

Seeing that they were about to eat it, Fang Tong quickly said, "Wait a minute, this is for eating after peeling the skin!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them skinned him hastily.

After eating the yam, the three of them felt a little stronger.

"What is this? It tastes okay, but it's sticky." Goudan complained while touching his stomach.

"This is yam." Fang Tong said mysteriously, "Others don't know it's edible. There's still plenty on the mountain! This secret can't be kept secret for long. As my brothers, I won't let you down. Come with me up the mountain and dig for the next two days."

All three of them were shocked.

Then I was overjoyed.

"I knew I was right about you, Third Brother. You're so nice!" Erwa patted his shoulder excitedly.

Erwa is thin and has a pointed face. He is not a bad person, but he speaks loudly.

Tiezhu, a silly, good-natured man, was truly moved. "Third brother, I'll follow you in my next life."

There was even admiration in Goudan's eyes, "Third brother, I won't say anything else. I will remember this favor!"

This guy is big and strong with a bad temper.

He had fought with Fang Tong before and was defeated by him many times, so he was considered to have been defeated.
