Chapter 4 Yams

When Liu Xingzhi was mentioned, Mrs. Liu's expression darkened a bit, but she soon regained her energy and whispered: "Do you still remember that I asked someone to calculate the birth dates of the two of them? At that time, the Taoist priest said San'er

My daughter-in-law is destined to have a prosperous husband. If I marry this daughter-in-law, my third daughter-in-law will definitely be rich and powerful in the future! I used to be a little suspicious when I saw the third daughter-in-law being so noisy, but now she looks like she is destined to have a prosperous husband!"

The more I talk about it, the more satisfied I become with Yunxi!

Old Man Liu was noncommittal, but he somewhat agreed with Mrs. Liu's statement.

One night passed, and when there was only a little light in the sky, Yunxi got off the cart.

Although there was someone sleeping next to her, she thought she could still sleep on the cart when she thought about sleeping on the ground full of insects and ants!

Seeing her getting up, Mrs. Xu walked over and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, do you want to go for a while? Let's go together!"

Girls with good relationships in modern times like to make appointments to go to the toilet together. Ancient people also liked to express intimacy in this way.

"Okay!" Seeing the gratitude and self-blame in Xu's eyes, Yunxi nodded clearly.

Because there is very little vegetation now, in order to avoid being seen, everyone tries to go to places with high trees.

Yun Xi followed her towards the forest on the roadside.

Having solved the physical problem, we are ready to walk back together.

Yun Xi suddenly saw a plant with only two rotten leaves left. His eyes lit up and he said, "Second sister-in-law, go and call your second brother and bring the hoe with you! Go quickly!"

Mrs. Xu didn't know why, but she walked out quickly obediently.

After a while, Liu Erlang came in, holding Xiaobao in his arms.

Their clothes are also shabby, but they have a bit of a smile on their withered faces!

"Brothers and sisters, thank you very much for yesterday! But if there are any medicinal materials that we need to help dig up, just say so!" Liu Erlang handed the little treasure to Xu who was aside, with a look on his face that was somewhat similar to Liu Xingzhi's.

He said honestly: "Second brother and your second sister-in-law have nothing but some strength. If you need it, you can come to us at any time!"

Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly. Although she had been unhappy with Yunxi a lot before, she had come to the conclusion that he had saved Xiaobao, which was enough to make her grateful for the rest of her life.

Yun Xi originally had the intention of making good friends, but there were more important things at the moment, so he whispered: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, the root of this plant is called Huaishan. It is a medicine, and you can also eat it!"

Just now she took a casual glance and saw a yam seedling. In ancient times, yam was called Huaishan.

In this era, no one ate Huaishan, and it was rarely used in pharmacies. Therefore, most people did not recognize the Huaishan seedlings on the ground as a kind of wild vegetables, picked them, cooked them, and ate them, while no one touched the underground rhizomes.

touch!

The one just now was probably because the leaves were so rotten that no one had dug it out, so she recognized it.

Yams usually grow in patches. Judging from the pits dug nearby, there is probably a lot of underground space in this area.

"Brothers and sisters, what do you mean you can eat it?" Mrs. Xu licked the corners of her chapped lips and looked at Yunxi expectantly.

"It can be used as food!" Yun Xi explained with a smile: "Huaishan can strengthen the spleen and strengthen the essence. It has mild medicinal properties and is good for both adults and children. With these, we won't have to go hungry for a long time!"

Hearing her words, Liu Erlang and Liu Erlang's eyes suddenly lit up, and they quickly moved their hands. Xu also wanted to help with her hands, but Yun Xi stopped her, "The juice from this thing will make people itchy, so don't touch it!"

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Xu stopped her, but kept staring at the ground with bright eyes, as if there were peerless treasures down there.

It is not easy to dig yams, you need to go all the way down, but Liu Erlang is a good worker and he dug out several yams in just a few strokes.

The ripening period of yams is usually in the ninth month of the lunar calendar. It is now August. Although it is not fully mature yet, it is not young yet. It is about as thick as a three-year-old child's arm. In just a short time, I dug hundreds of kilograms.

It was just getting dark now and there weren't many people around, so no one paid any attention to this place.

"Let's go cook some delicious food!" Yun Xi reached out to take Xiaobao and said with a smile: "Call Third Aunt, and Third Aunt will take you to eat delicious food!"

"Third Aunt!" Xiaobao smiled shyly and called out sweetly, making Yunxi instantly cute!

I took some rotten yams, roasted some in Yunxi, and made some soup. It would be better for the children to eat some soup.

When the smell of yam came out, Xiaobao's eyes widened and he swallowed his saliva.

The other children of the Liu family also gathered around.

After more than ten days of escaping from famine, every household began to run out of food. The adults could bear it, but the children could not bear it.

It smells so sweet and sweet, how can I bear it!

Yun Xi looked at the group of people with a funny look. When the yams became soft, he gave a bowl to each of the children, and handed the remaining yams to Granny Liu and others.

"Thank you, third aunt!"

Although they are eager for food, the Liu family's children are more polite.

This gave Yunxi a little more sense of identification with the Liu family!

"Third daughter-in-law, is this what you dug?" Mrs. Liu took a bite of the roasted yam handed over by Yunxi, and her eyes widened. The soft and sweet taste made her fall in love instantly, and she couldn't help but bite again.

A big mouthful.

"Yes!" Yun Xi looked around and whispered: "This is called Huaishan. It is buried under the soil and has not been discovered. Just be careful when digging. There are many ways to eat it. I will tell you quietly later!

"

Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly and said to Old Man Liu and the others who were eating loudly on the side: "Eat quickly, go and change the old man and the others. We can store more. We don't know what will happen in the future. It's good to prepare more food!"

"I know!" Old Man Liu happily finished one and looked at Yun Xi with approval. Well, he is indeed blessed!
