Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Three days later, Sang Tian took three hundred tribesmen to the konjac field.

The leaves of the konjac have turned yellow and fallen over.

This indicates that the underground tubers are mature and this is the best time to pick them.

Sang Tian demonstrated it to the tribesmen.

First, peel off the konjac stems.

Then you have to loosen the soil.

First, gently loosen the soil around the plant to avoid damaging the tuber skin by hard digging.

Then use a small shovel to slowly dig up the soil around the tuber until the tuber is completely exposed, being careful not to break or scratch the skin.

Like potatoes, they are prone to rot if the skin is damaged.

Then, after removing the tubers, shake off the soil, cut off the remaining fibrous roots, and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry for 1-2 days. Store them in a cool and dry place.

The autumn wind is bleak and the fallen leaves are flying.

Everywhere you look is dyed orange-red.

Although everyone doesn't know how to eat this konjac that Sang is talking about, what does it taste like?

But they never question it.

If Sang says it’s edible, then it must be edible.

Also, it tastes great!

Three hundred people dug hard for a whole day, and the remaining dozens of people carried the konjac back to the tribe.

This marks the end of this year's harvest mission.

It won't be long before winter comes.

……

The forest is like an overturned palette. Among the dark brown branches, the remaining maple leaves are as red as burnt sparks, and the ginkgo leaves are as yellow as crushed sunlight. When the wind blows, they fall down and form a soft carpet in the forest.

There are plump mushrooms hidden under the rotten leaves. Occasionally, a squirrel will run by with a pine cone in its mouth, startling a few gray birds.

Everyone returned to the tribe walking on the thick fallen leaves.

Along the way, Sang Tianguang picked up two baskets of mushrooms.

Wait until night and stew chicken with Cang in mushroom soup and eat it.

Thank you for the gift of rich nature.

……

Two days later, the konjac was ready.

Sang Tian took the females and began to deal with them.

There are many people in the tribe, not to mention the long snow season. So let's do it all.

First, peel and clean all the konjac.

However, you must wear gloves during this process, otherwise your skin will feel numb and painful when it touches the mucus of the konjac.

The most common way to make it is to make konjac tofu.

The batch of grinding meshes that Sang Tian had customized for He were all ready.

It is a rectangular tool made of iron with a very fine hole.

Konjac tubers can be ground into a paste.

First pour some clean water into a large iron basin, then sprinkle some alkali as a coagulant.

This thing is easy to find in nature.

Grind the konjac flour into an iron basin.

When the iron basin is almost full, rub the konjac paste in the basin vigorously with your hands.

Then smooth the top layer and let it sit for a while to solidify.

After solidification, cut them into pieces with a knife and pour a layer of clean water on them.

Then you can put it in the pot and cook it.

After cooking, it becomes crystal clear konjac tofu.

It can be eaten cold, stir-fried or cooked into soup, and has a chewy texture.

It can also be made into konjac noodles and konjac knots.

Hotpot and malatang are the most delicious.

In cold dishes, it has a smooth texture, strong flavor absorption, and can be paired with various seasonings.

It can also be ground into konjac flour, which is low in calories and high in fiber.

These foods retain the nutritional properties of konjac and offer a variety of tastes, making them a common choice for a healthy diet.

In the next one or two days, I have to finish cooking all the konjac.

Then you can rest and recuperate.

After being busy for so long, it's time to take a good rest.

……

Sang Tian and Cang moved into the new house.

The furniture, stove, and everything else were all new. The kang (kang) was also newly built.

Although the tribe strictly prohibits males and females who are not partners from living together and having improper relations.

But Cang and Sang were already a couple, and it was a situation where both of them were willing. It was within the normal range, and no one cared.

The weather is getting colder day by day.

From time to time, the two of them would invite Duo and the others to come over and cook and drink together.

Life is leisurely and carefree.
