Traveling through ancient times to get rid of poverty, the whole network sends me express delivery

Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by Shen Wanning, Lin Jingyou clenched his right fist, put it to his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

"Sister Wan Ning, I was just saying that tomorrow I'll have to trouble you to explain to the village head and others how to process cassava."

Shen Wanning blinked a few times and said, "No problem. I can steam the remaining cassava for them to try tomorrow."

Aunt Zhang yawned and stood up. "I'm not feeling well. I'm feeling sleepy at this hour. Old man, let's go back and rest!"

With Aunt Zhang taking the lead, everyone else went back to their rooms.

It was still early, but Shen Wanning couldn't sleep. She immersed herself in the delivery station, chatting with her friends online.

Most netizens were eating the melons about her and Lin Jingyou, and a few were also explaining to her about the cassava plant.

She studied cassava carefully and learned that there are two types of cassava: sweet cassava and bitter cassava. Bitter cassava is more toxic and needs to be soaked for six to seven days before it can be eaten.

After the broadcast ended, she took another look at the extra items in the grid. In addition to the two ginseng and two ganoderma lucidum she had added that morning, there were also several buckets of purified water, flour, and other items.

There were even a lot of steamed buns, bread and other food items. These were things that netizens sent to her to help solve her current situation.

She just has to find the right time to take it out.

The next morning, after breakfast, the Lin family steamed the cassava. Aunt Zhang instructed Lin Jiang to call the village head and some of the older villagers.

Village head Lin Qiangjun and several elderly people were confused and asked Lin Jiang impatiently on the way.

"Xiao Jiang, what's going on at home? Why are you calling us so urgently? Is it possible that your scholar has something to tell you?"

"Oh, Uncle Lin, you'll see when you go there. This is great news. A truly great thing! And it was my aunt who discovered it!"

Lin Jiang said a few words, but he just couldn't get to the point, which made everyone even more anxious.

The village head led everyone into the Lin family's yard. Several old people were leaning on crutches and panting with exhaustion.

"Oh my, my old bones are almost falling apart. Why are you walking so fast?" The oldest man was panting while leaning on a cane.

Lin Jingcheng hurried over and helped the old man sit on the stool. "Grandpa Qi, please sit down and rest for a while. You will know soon."

The Lin family looked at Lin Jingyou and signaled him to speak about this matter. After all, he was the only scholar in the village, and his words could convince everyone.

In addition, Lin Dashan was not good at speaking and was afraid that he could not explain himself clearly.

Lin Jingyou stood up and everyone's eyes were focused on him. He remained calm and composed.

"Uncle Qiangjun, this is what happened. Yesterday, my sister Wan Ning found something edible in the woods. It's called cassava. This cassava is very filling. If everyone can dig some up and store it, it should be enough to get through this famine."

"What? There is such a thing? We have lived in Daqing Village for so many years, how come we don't know about it?" Several old people whispered, expressing their doubts about this matter.

"Uncles, please don't get excited. Please listen to me and then we can discuss it later. This cassava is the same plant that Goudan accidentally ate and was poisoned last time. It's just that this cassava needs to be processed before it can be eaten. As for the processing method, my sister Wan Ning will come to explain it to everyone later." Lin Jingyou looked at Shen Wan Ning.

Yesterday, everyone heard the villagers talking about a beautiful girl coming to Lin Dashan's house. After seeing her today, I realized that what everyone said was true.

"Oh? This is Chunmei's goddaughter Wan Ning, right? She is really as pretty as my wife said. But is this cassava thing true?" The head of the village praised at the right time.

"Your name is Wan Ning, right? Even if you are good-looking, you can't fool us! You should know that our time is very precious. Goudan was poisoned after eating this thing, but you insist that it is not poisonous. Aren't you playing a joke on us old men?" Another old man blew his beard and glared.

He had also heard about Shen Wanning's story yesterday, especially when his wife said that the Lin family's goddaughter was a fool and had spent the entire morning digging for poisonous things.

Shen Wanning stepped forward confidently and stood beside Lin Jingyou.

"Don't worry, uncles. This cassava has been processed. We ate it last night. It's truly non-toxic, tastes great, and is very filling. We've prepared some today. You'll know once you try it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu couldn't wait to bring out the steamed cassava and put it on the table.

To convince everyone, Shen Wanning and Lin Jingyou ate half a bowl first, and the three greedy boys also ate half a bowl.

The village head whispered to an elder beside him, "The Lin family holds Third Lin in high regard, so they wouldn't let him take any risks. Besides, they ate those three boys, so they wouldn't let their family line die out, would they? I think this is probably true."

Several elders on the side nodded in agreement.

After about an incense stick of time, Shen Wanning and the others were safe and sound. The village head stepped forward, reached out and took a small piece of cassava from the steamer, putting it in his mouth and savoring it carefully.

"It has a delicate and silky texture, is soft, glutinous and sweet, and tastes exactly as you said." The village head narrowed his eyes, as if he was still savoring the taste of cassava.

Seeing that the village head had eaten, several other elders also stepped forward to try the cassava. After eating, they all praised it.

"As you can see, this cassava can be peeled and soaked before being steamed, or it can be boiled and then fried." Shen Wanning explained when she saw that everyone believed it.

"Wait, let me gather all the villagers and let them come and listen. This is a big matter that concerns the entire village. With these cassavas, our Daqing Village can survive this famine!" The headman smiled and was about to go out to gather the villagers.

"There is strength in numbers. Let's go together and gather all the villagers under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Tell them that the village chief has something urgent to announce to everyone." An elder suggested.

The Lin family and the elders went out together and called people from each house.

Fortunately, Daqing Village is not very big, with only about a hundred households. Soon everyone gathered under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Generally, when something big happens in the village, the village head will gather everyone under the old locust tree to inform them of the matter. This is also an established practice in Daqing Village.

The villagers gathered under the old locust tree, talking and arguing loudly.

"Hey, what do you think the village head wants to announce when he calls us here? Isn't it about taxes?"

"Don't be such a pessimist. We can barely afford to eat right now, so how can we have enough grain to pay the taxes?"

"Hey, I don't know whether this announcement is good or bad!"
