Chapter 31 Making Tapioca Flour
"Xiaohu, Xiaohu went to grandma's house yesterday, but he also watered the sweet potatoes today." Lin Hu said while biting his finger.
"Xiaohe and Xiaohu are so good. Auntie will talk to your grandma later and give each of you a boiled egg as a reward." Shen Wanning touched Lin He's head, took a few eggs and put them in the kitchen.
These eggs made her think, could she use the excuse of picking up eggs to secretly put a few more eggs in the box in the future? A little bit adds up to a lot, and then the family would never be short of eggs again.
"By the way, when your eldest brother comes back, ask him to fix that three-legged chair and add an extra leg. Your grandma fell down while sitting on that chair last time. She's old and can't afford to fall down."
Lin He nodded, "Remember, aunt."
Shen Wanning quietly used her consciousness to change the packaging of the fruit candies in the space, then grabbed a handful of fruit candies from the space and stuffed one handful each to Lin He and Lin Hu.
"You are so good! This is a reward from your auntie. Go and play! Your auntie is going up the mountain to dig cassava."
The two boys took the candies and jumped for joy. "Thank you, Auntie!"
When Shen Wanning went up the mountain, she saw Aunt Zhang showing off her silver bracelet to others.
"Oh, my daughter is really good. This silver bracelet of mine was bought by my daughter. I told her not to buy it and what a waste of money. But my daughter is filial and there is no way an old woman like me can stop her! Oh!"
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, please stop talking. I've heard you say this eleven times, and my ears are about to get calluses!" said another aunt, picking her ears.
"It's not that Aunt Xu just came. I'm talking to Aunt Xu!" Aunt Zhang retorted.
Shen Wanning held her forehead and walked forward, "Mom, let me help dig cassava."
Seeing her coming, everyone looked at her with envy. They had just heard Aunt Zhang say that Shen Wanning had dug up ginseng and sold it for a high price, so they were particularly envious of Shen Wanning's luck.
But Aunt Zhang also knew what she could say and what she couldn't say. She didn't tell anyone the specific price of the ginseng, but only said that it was sold for a high price.
"Oh, just take a good rest at home. You went to the county yesterday and were exhausted all day. Why are you here to dig cassava today? It's not like the family can't survive without your work." Aunt Zhang said with a deliberate smile.
"It's okay, Mom, I'm not tired. If I work a little more, the people at home can work a little less, and everyone can relax a little."
As soon as Shen Wanning said this, others became even more envious of Aunt Zhang, and looked at Shen Wanning as if she were a gold nugget.
She is beautiful, sensible, considerate, generous to her family, and knowledgeable. Alas, it is a pity that such a good girl is not theirs.
"Hey, Wan Ning, where are your biological parents? You seem to be born in a wealthy family, so why did you come to our small mountain village?" Aunt Niu asked directly.
Shen Wanning touched the onions in the express station with her hand, wiped her eyes deliberately, and pretended to be tearful.
"My family members were killed by bandits on the road, leaving me alone to escape and seek refuge with my aunt. Fortunately, my aunt did not abandon me and adopted me as her own daughter, so I finally had a place to stay."
Aunt Niu was at a loss and slapped herself lightly on the mouth. "Oh, my girl, don't cry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned this."
Aunt Zhang knew that Shen Wanning's words were false, but she still couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Even worse than this was the fact that Shen Wanning didn't remember anything. How pitiful.
"Okay, okay, my daughter, you have our family now, don't cry, don't cry." Aunt Zhang comforted her.
Shen Wanning wiped her tears and thought to herself: Damn, I forgot I was touching the onion on my hand, and my tears are getting more and more!
Seeing her crying even harder, Aunt Niu became flustered. Aunt Zhang had never seen Shen Wanning cry like this before. She tried to comfort her anxiously for a long time but just didn't know what to do.
"Mom, I... I'm fine. I'll go wash my face and be back soon." After saying that, Shen Wanning ran away.
Shen Wanning did not go home. Instead, she ran to a deserted place, fetched water from the space to wash her hands, and finally washed her face. Only then did she feel much more comfortable in her eyes!
This time when they go back, no one dares to ask about Shen Wanning's life experience, for fear of bringing up her sad story.
Everyone chatted while digging cassava. By around 11:30, everyone had basically filled a basket and started walking back together, carrying the bamboo baskets on their backs.
"Wan Ning, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so the cassava shouldn't keep well! We've dug so much cassava and brought it home, will it go bad?"
As soon as Aunt Xu spoke, everyone looked at Shen Wanning. What Aunt Xu asked was what they wanted to know. After all, every household had dug a lot of cassava in the past few days, but the family couldn't eat all of it for the time being.
"If you can't finish eating all the cassava, you can make it into cassava flour. If it's sweet cassava, you can just peel it, dry it, and then pound it into flour. When you're ready to eat it, you can make it into steamed buns or pancakes and steam them.
As for bitter cassava, it is more complicated. It needs to be peeled, soaked, and then the residue is removed. Finally, the powder that is precipitated can be eaten."
Based on information from netizens, Shen Wanning told everything she knew.
"So, making bitter cassava into flour is not only troublesome and water-consuming, but also results in a lot of loss!" Mrs. Xu continued.
Shen Wanning nodded. "That's true. Fortunately, we have mostly sweet cassava here, with only a small portion being bitter cassava. So I suggest that everyone eat the bitter cassava first, and store the sweet cassava in cassava flour."
"What Wan Ning said makes sense. I'll tell my family when I get home to dry the cassava in the sun. It's sunny right now, so it will dry quickly." Wei Fangfei, the eldest daughter-in-law of the village head, nodded.
Then, on the way, Shen Wanning watched the netizens in the live broadcast room share their scientific knowledge and carefully explained to them how to make cassava flour. The villagers listened very attentively, and netizens would search and verify the questions they raised and patiently answer them.
Occasionally, a few industry leaders would pop up in the live broadcast room to offer advice.
When she got home, Xu had just entered the kitchen and was about to cook.
"Mom, I was making clothes with my second brother and his wife today, and I accidentally forgot to pay attention to the time. Now I am preparing to cook."
"Let me help you cook. Go get the meat that was marinated yesterday. We'll have stir-fried cabbage and meat for lunch." Thinking of Shen Wanning's pitiful appearance today, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but want her to eat better.
Shen Wanning put down the bamboo basket and came to the kitchen. Pointing at the six eggs, she said, "Mom, these are what Xiaohe and Xiaohu picked up from the chicken coop today. There should have been a few eggs yesterday too. Why don't we boil them and give them to each of us?"
Aunt Zhang, who was about to refuse, softened her heart and agreed when she thought of Shen Wanning crying today and imagined that the child was thin and must have suffered a lot.
