The cassava was dug up, and everyone helped to hang up the outermost cassava skin. This work is not arduous, with a chopstick, just scrape, very easy, no effort.

The second aunt picked out some of the better ones, peeled off the second layer of skin, and then cut them into sections, ready to cook for everyone first. After cooking, you can eat it directly, or you can continue to cut it into pieces and then fry it with leeks, which may be more delicious to eat, and some people like to eat it when it is cooked.

In addition, there is another way to eat it, that is, without cooking, directly cut into slices, and then put it in a pan and fry it in oil. After being processed in this way, the cassava will swell slightly, and Chu Jiaqiang's favorite way to eat it is this. But it's very hot, and after eating, you'd better drink a bowl of herbal tea, otherwise your throat will be very uncomfortable the next day.

Chu Jiaqiang moved out his cassava gate, washed it, and borrowed two from others by the way. The cassava gate is one of the tools of the people, which is very simple but very practical. It is nothing more than a long board with a square opening in front of it, in which a sharp knife is installed, and in front of the knife there is a wooden strip that can be turned.

It's even easier to use, by placing a stick-shaped cassava between the stick and the blade, grabbing the cassava with one hand, moving the stick with the other, and pressing the cassava against the blade to cut the cassava into slices. The thickness of the cassava chips is determined by the distance between the blade and the board, which can also be adjusted. The cut cassava chips will fall down the gap, and you can put a basket and other cassava chips underneath.

"It's been a long time since I've used this thing, I'll try it." Old man Zhou is very motivated.

Others scraped their skins, Chu Jiaqiang, Chen Wu and Old Man Zhou sliced them, and the division of labor was also reasonable. Ye Caiping and others will not be too late to scrape the skin, and there will be no accumulation.

"It's pretty good!" Chen Wu cut it quickly and felt very cool.

"I'll try." Li Quan also ran over and withdrew Chen Wu. Scraping the cassava skin, he felt that the work should be done by a girl.

Seeing that Zhou Furong was also moved, Zhou Lao had no choice but to let the kid out and let the kid use it, so that the kid wouldn't even recognize this traditional domestic thing in the future.

Chu Jiaqiang was also embarrassed to dominate the cassava gate, so a few gringos who were about to move also tried to try. These people are just trying to get a taste of freshness. In their country, there may not be such a tool, even though cassava is foreign.

Before they discovered the machine, they probably used a knife to cut melons and vegetables, which was very rough. After the invention of the machine, it was the use of a slicer, and there was a fault in the middle.

Tourists passing by feel very fun, one by one catch fresh, also play, and if it is not their turn, they will help scrape the skin first. That's why the work is going on very fast.

Seeing so many people, the second aunt hurriedly got more and let the others eat some too. Cassava is not a precious thing, but for those of them who are urban, they may not know if they have eaten it.

After cutting a load, the second uncle immediately picked it up into the river, soaked it in river water for a few days, and then lifted it up to dry.

After drying, it is easy to do, and those who need to be powdered can be powdered, or they can be bought directly, but it is very cheap, two cents a catty, and 10,000 catties are only 2,000 yuan. Of course, there is more than this price outside, and those guys who bullied farmers who didn't know the market in the past would give such a low price.

"This year's cassava is very large!" When the old village chief passed by, he couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

"What's the use of a big strip? It's so cheap, it used to be so much two cents a pound, and it hurt my shoulder. The second aunt poured a cup of tea for the old village chief. Then he invited: "Uncle, let's sit down for a while!" After a while, the cassava will be cooked, so eat a little and taste it. ”

"It turns out that this is cassava, and last time someone told me that clover is cassava, I still can't tell the difference." Said one tourist. It can be seen that this person is really an otaku in the city, and he may not have much contact with things outside. Professor Wen smiled lightly: "People are right, it's also called alfalfa, but it's not this cassava." Alfalfa is a grass prefix with an eyebrow underneath. The herb is the grass prefix, and the dormitory below is the herb. ”

The two names are homophonic, but the words are completely different, and it is easy to mix them up.

Alfalfa is also called clover, which is what others call Xingyun grass. The Lucky Grass is a four-leaf clover, which is a variation of the clover. It is known as a perennial flowering herb that is resistant to drought, heat and cold, high yield and quality, and improves soil. The most famous of these is alfalfa, which is used as a pasture and is feed for livestock. Alfalfa is known as the "king of forage", not only has a high yield, but also has excellent grass quality, and all kinds of livestock and poultry like to eat.

Alfalfa has the largest variety and is mostly a wild herbaceous plant. There are three main types of alfalfa produced in Zhonglu: the first is alfalfa, the stem is about six inches long, erect, and the purple pods are curved. The second is the yellow alfalfa, the stem is not erect, prostrate on the ground, with yellow flowers and sickle-like leaves. Both are produced in the northern provinces. The third is wild alfalfa, commonly known as grass head, also known as golden cauliflower, the stem lies on the ground, each thin stem, there are three small leaves, there are wild and planted as edible in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the middle of the country.

After a while, the second aunt took out the cooked cassava and asked everyone to wash their hands and eat some first.

"Hmmm! This feels too powdery, and after eating it, my throat is dry, and I can't do it without drinking water. Zhou Furong took a bite and said, and others felt the same way.

"Nonsense! Cassava was originally used to make starch, can it not be powdered? Such cassava is the best quality. If you eat something that looks like eating Huaishan, it must be the worst. Chu Jiaqiang said with a blank look.

"Speaking of Huaishan, many people may admit mistakes, especially after the cassava is cut into slices, which is quite similar to Huaishan slices, and some cassava tastes similar." Someone interjected.

"Huh! That's because you're not careful. There is a heart in the middle of cassava, but there is no yam. Zhou Lao said with a smile.

"Why do you talk about yam again?" A voice came, and many people looked at it strangely. Zhou Lao and other old people smiled bitterly, secretly saying that young people now only know modern products such as mobile phones and computers?

"Huaishan is also called yam, and most people will buy some to make soup during the New Year. The Qingbu Liang we usually eat, the formula in it has the taste of yam. Professor Wen explained.

Zhou Furong didn't pay attention, and the cassava in his hand was pecked by Brother Wren. By the time he reacted and scolded, the wren had already flown away laughing.

"I'm sure that guy did it on purpose." Zhou Furong accused angrily.

Chen Wu and the others shrugged: "It's obvious things, do you need to talk about it?" ”

"This bird is really ......" Hong Lao and the others are really not suitable for such a smart bird.

"You'll get used to it slowly, and when you go out later, you'll find that all the birds outside are stupid." Wan Lao also likes Brother Wren. Although that guy usually makes a lot of noise, in his eyes, he is like a naughty child.
