Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

The next morning, Tianwu took out a clean section of root from the kitchen, hesitating whether to show it to Lu Yao.

Xiang Liu: "Did you find this yesterday? Have you tasted it?"

Tianwu: "This juice is incredibly itchy when it gets on my skin, so I guess I can't eat it. That's why I'm hesitating about whether I should show it to Yaoyao."

Ling Guang: "Since we've found her, let Yao Yao identify her. Even if she can't eat it, can't she still use it as medicine?"

Jia Liu joined in the fun: "Exactly! Even if it can't cure diseases, it can be turned into poison! It would be really interesting if it could make people itch all over."

Xiang Liu: "Weren't you always depressed because of that little white dragon? How come you're in the mood to join in the fun now?"

The cub proudly raised its little face and replied happily, "Brother Jun's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and the eggshell is also much thinner. It seems that the eggshell is a good thing, and it is continuously providing Brother Jun with energy."

At this moment, Lu Yao carried Jia Tian downstairs, and Xiang Liu quickly stepped forward to support her: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"It's so cold, I woke up from the cold."

Xiang Liu: "It was all my oversight. Last night I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't go to install the windows."

Lu Yao: "There's no rush. You can pretend after you finish eating. What are you all doing gathered here?"

Jia Liu: "Father Tianwu found this thing yesterday. I'm afraid it's poisonous, so I didn't give it to Mother. But this thing looks familiar to me, but I can't remember why."

Seeing the familiar object in the cub's hand, Lu Yao excitedly took it.

Tianwu: "Yaoyao, be careful not to touch either end. The juice will cause unbearable itching if it gets on your skin."

System notification: "Congratulations, host! You have obtained Chinese yam. Reward: one gold coin!"

"This is Chinese yam, which not only has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, benefiting the lungs and relieving cough, but also has the effects of moisturizing the intestines and relieving constipation, and lowering blood lipids."

Tianwu: "This sticky substance makes my hands itch so much. Isn't it poisonous?"

"The mucus in yams contains substances such as allantoin and protease. These substances cause itching by stimulating receptors in the nerve endings of the skin. You see, it's just itchy, there's no redness or swelling, so how could it be poisonous!"

Tianwu: "Although I only feel itchy, after a cub touched me yesterday, I developed a lot of small red bumps, which was quite frightening."

"That's because the peel of yam contains saponins, and the mucus of yam contains alkaline components. Some people are allergic to these two components or one of them, and that's when they get a rash after contact."

Tianwu: "We've found quite a few of these things, but because we were afraid they might be poisonous, we only brought back a little. Since this stuff is so valuable, I'll go and get some people to dig it up now."

Lu Yao: "Let's eat something first before we go. These yams can be eaten after they're cooked. Do you have any more in the kitchen?"

Tianwu took out two large pieces from beside the stove: "They're all here, I'll cook them now."

Ling Guang: "This isn't enough, is it? Let's cook these too!"

He took out a plate of eggs from the corner, about ten or so: "These were sent by the herbivorous beastmen. Thank you, Yao Yao, for giving them so much food. These eggs were raised by the females. If it weren't for Yanwei and the others causing trouble and losing so many hens, we would definitely have had a good harvest by now."

Tianwu took out a few more potatoes and sweet potatoes and put them into the pot: "A lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes have been taken away. It seems that I should hide the food more discreetly in the future."

Lu Yao: "Then we'll dig a few more cellars, which will also prevent the food from freezing."

Ling Guang: "What is a cellar?"

Jia Liu: "You don't even understand that? It's just digging a deep hole in the ground!"

Lu Yao: "Don't be rude to Father Ling Guang!"

Seeing Lu Yao defend him, Ling Guang raised an eyebrow smugly. The cub pouted and turned away.

Jia Liu dipped the cooked yam in white sugar and ate it with great joy.

Tianwu led the warriors out for a whole day, and they didn't return until dark, carrying a large bag of yams.

Lu Yao: "How was your day?"

"I've had a great harvest, but I don't know how to preserve it."

"Peel and cut the yam into chunks, blanch it in boiling water for a while, then freeze it. It will last until the end of the cold season."

Tianwu: "Yams are delicious, but the skin is hard to peel!"

Lu Yao: "That's simple. Cut the yam into sections, insert chopsticks into them, and slowly peel it with a bone knife."

Tianwu quickly tried it out: "This method really works. I'll teach everyone tomorrow. It's a pity we discovered it a little late; this reincarnation won't have the chance to plant some in Chaoyang Valley."

Ling Guang: "Wouldn't planting this year just benefit that robber Yan Wei!"
