"I hope the village head will finish his words quickly. I'm in a hurry to go dig some wild vegetables! If I don't dig some today, I won't have anything to eat at noon."

Some people are anxious, some are numb, but of course, a few are still looking forward to it.

Everyone was already there. The village head stood on a large rock under the locust tree and raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"I've gathered everyone here today because I have something good to announce. As everyone knows, Lin Dashan has a new daughter. That daughter is truly extraordinary..."

"Oh, head of the village, we know that Dashan's daughter is beautiful. Just tell us what you want to say. We are in a hurry to dig wild vegetables!" Widow Wang interrupted the head of the village, carrying a basket.

She heard about Shen Wanning yesterday, especially how everyone praised her like a fairy, saying that she was prettier than her daughter Fang Xiuqin. This made her quite dislike Shen Wanning before she even met her.

Before Shen Wanning appeared, her daughter Fang Xiuqin was recognized as the village beauty. Many people wanted to marry her daughter, but she rejected them all! She didn't want to see a woman more beautiful than her daughter appear in Daqing Village.

The village head glared at Widow Wang and said, "Alright, I'll be frank. Lin Dashan's daughter, Wan Ning, discovered an edible food in the woods called cassava. This cassava can be used as a staple food, and it's just as filling as corn."

"I know, I know. The village head you are talking about is that stupid...ah, no, the thing Wan Ning dug up yesterday! Goudan almost died of poisoning after eating that thing last time! You can't eat it." Another villager continued.

"Will you let me speak? Come on, come on, how about I give you the right seat here and you speak for me?" The headman rolled his eyes and made a fierce look, scaring the others to shut up immediately and not dare to speak.

The village head continued, "The stems and leaves of cassava flowers are indeed poisonous, but the roots can be eaten after special treatment. As for the treatment method, we will let Wan Ning explain it to you next. Everyone must listen carefully. If you get poisoned by improper treatment, don't blame me for not explaining it clearly."

Upon hearing this, the villagers' expressions immediately became serious.

Under everyone's gaze, Shen Wanning stood on a rock and explained to everyone, sentence by sentence, how to process cassava. She emphasized it several times, fearing that everyone would forget.

Lin Jingyou stood below, looking at Shen Wanning's calm appearance, as if her whole body was glowing, making him unable to take his eyes off her.

After Shen Wanning finished speaking, the villagers were in an uproar, discussing the matter enthusiastically. They were mostly questioning the authenticity of the story. However, with the testimony of the village head and other elders, most of them still believed it.

"I will go dig cassava with everyone later and teach you how to identify sweet potatoes and bitter potatoes. If you have time, you can go together." Shen Wanning added this sentence at the end.

"Tsk, who knows if what you said is true or not? What if you want to poison our entire Daqing Village?"

Mrs. Hu suffered a loss at the hands of the Lin family yesterday, and now she wants to get back at them.

"If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. Who's forcing you to eat it? If you don't dig, we can dig more, right, folks?"

Without waiting for Shen Wanning to refute her, Xu started yelling at her.

"That's right. Anyway, I'm going to go digging with them today. I don't have much food left at home."

"I'm not going to dig wild vegetables today. I'm going to follow Wan Ning and dig some cassava."

"Yes, yes, I'm going too! I'm going too!"

Most of the villagers raised their hands excitedly and stared at Shen Wanning, as if they were afraid that she would run away.

"Thank heaven, thank the fairies, my Qin family is saved. Big head, grandma will have food for you soon!" Grandma Qin knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and was very excited.

Finally, the village head came out and made the final decision: "Alright, alright, everyone hurry home, grab your bamboo baskets and shovels, and go dig cassava together! I'll ask my daughters-in-law to come along too!"

As soon as the headman finished speaking, the villagers dispersed, fearing that they would miss the opportunity if they were too slow to go back.

Everything was ready, and Shen Wanning led the villagers up the mountain to look for cassava in the woods.

Sometimes on the way, Shen Wanning saw netizens in the live broadcast room explaining plants to her, and she would also share some of the knowledge with the villagers.

"This plant is called castor, and it's extremely poisonous. If you see it, you must stay away from it. Don't eat it by mistake, or it could be fatal. It's much more poisonous than cassava."

"This is cat's eye grass. Its juice is the most poisonous. If you accidentally get it in your eyes, you will be blinded."

……

Shen Wanning talked to the villagers about the common plants on the road, and the villagers listened with great interest.

Initially, the villagers were somewhat distant from Shen Wanning due to her fairy-like appearance. However, as Shen Wanning spoke in a gentle and gentle voice, they gradually became familiar with her and would occasionally chat with her.

Shen Wanning took everyone to the cassava digging area and taught them to distinguish between bitter and sweet cassava. The villagers were full of enthusiasm and dug with great enthusiasm.

Seeing that everyone was chatting and concentrating on digging cassava, Shen Wanning carried a bamboo basket and quietly walked deeper into the forest.

After quietly looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Shen Wanning took out a ginseng from the space and placed it in the bamboo basket.

To avoid being discovered and arousing jealousy, she picked some shepherd's purse leaves to cover it up. Finally, she covered it with the sweet potato vines that an online friend had sent her yesterday.

Seeing that it was still early, she added two hens, a rooster, and some quail eggs to the grid in the live broadcast room.

As soon as she added it, some enthusiastic netizens immediately sent these things to her.

Liu Yue Fei Xue: Host, please move forward a little. The one in front seems to be a morel. It is edible and very expensive nowadays.

Liuyeqingqing: Where is it? Let me see. I'm from Yunnan Province. No mushroom can escape my eyes.

Yunfu: What? Morels? The ones that are more expensive than black truffles? Did I hear that right?

I Love Wangzai: What is morel? Isn’t this a very common thing? Look at how ignorant you are.

Xiaojiu wants to lose weight quickly: You know nothing. What we eat nowadays is all artificially grown, but the host was in ancient times, and this was wild. How can they be compared?

Following the netizens' suggestion, Shen Wanning walked forward and squatted down so that netizens could see more clearly.

Liuyeqingqing: I'm sure it's a morel. I didn't expect that after such a long drought, morels could still grow under the woods.

Liu Yue Fei Xue: Anchor, please look around quickly. This morel is definitely not growing alone. There must be others.

After thanking the netizen, Shen Wanning started searching nearby and indeed found quite a few morels.
