Chapter 237 Cassava Root

Listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, several people were curious, especially Mrs. Li, who walked in with a hoe and cut a section lightly.Looking at the white and tender flesh inside, my eyes lit up,
"Sure enough, it looks similar to a yam, but it is harder than a yam, and it is also much bigger than a yam."

Xiaosi leaned over, "Don't even mention it, it looks whiter than white flour steamed buns. Mom, are you sure this stuff is really poisonous?"

"Mother, is this cassava troublesome to deal with?" Xiao Wu picked up a piece and smelled it, but there was no special smell.

Listening to their inquiry, Bai Yunxi shook his head.

"In fact, it is very simple to deal with this thing. Take it home, peel it, wash it, then beat out the starch inside, filter it with water, and what settles down is cassava flour."

"Cassava flour has a smooth and glutinous taste. It can be used to make pearl balls, and it can also be paired with other ingredients to make delicious snacks."

After all, Bai Yunxi waved his hands at them,
"Dig it, this thing is not easy to dig, it takes a lot of time, it's as deep as a tree root."

Listening to Baiyunxi's order, several people started to work with hoes and picks

As Bai Yunxi said, these cassava roots are deep and messy.Digging up is particularly strenuous.

Seeing the children cooking in full swing, Baiyunxi took a look at the sky, took out the food and heated it up.

All the children do is physical work, which consumes a lot of energy. They must eat well to have the strength to work.

When they set off, Du Shi prepared a pickled fish, some pancakes and some basil sauce for them.

She only needs to heat up the pancakes, then bake the marinated fish until it is browned, and it is very delicious with perilla sauce.

An hour later, accompanied by the smell of meat in the air, Baiyunxi prepared the lunch.

Several people were sweating profusely, and there were strips of cassava roots beside them, which seemed to weigh forty to fifty catties.

"The meal is hot, come over to eat first. Digging cassava roots is the most wasteful effort. Only when you are full can you work hard."

Mrs. Li put the hoe aside and clapped her hands, "Mother is right, it is really tiring, but cassava is easier to dig than yam, and yam is too brittle, and it will break if you are not careful."

Bai Yunxi looked at Li's sweaty face, and handed over the cloth soaked in water.

"Hurry up and wipe off your sweat, you're tired."

Li Shi chuckled, "There is no need to be tired from work, as long as you can eat enough."

Hearing Li Shi's three words that food is inseparable, Bai Yunxi couldn't help thinking about it.

This person is also simple, as long as he eats and drinks enough, he doesn't care about the rest.

After eating, they were busy for another hour and a half, looking at the cassava roots piled up on the ground,

Baiyunxi hurriedly stopped,
"Okay, we can't dig any more, and we won't be able to take them back with us."

Xiao Wu looked at the westward sun, nodded in agreement,

"Second sister-in-law don't dig for now, let's come over again tomorrow. Looking at this piece of cassava, I guess it will take two or three days to dig."

Mrs. Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the cassava roots piled up next to him, put away his hoe,
"Okay, let's come back tomorrow, not to mention, this head, digging more and more vigorously, I can't stop."

The cassava that grows wild in the mountain forest is big and strong. Li Shi uses his head to separate the cassava one by one and put them into the basket.

The four baskets were full, and there was still a large bundle left on the ground. Mrs. Li arranged them directly, tied them tightly with ropes, and still stacked them on the baskets.

"Okay, let's go home, it's really getting late after looking at the sky."

A family of four carried baskets and tools and walked out along the mountain stream.
