Chapter 41: Yams and Fish

"Zhiwen, Aunt Song, look, I have found something good."

When Zhiwen was still holding the wild vegetables handed over by Aunt Song in his hand, Dazhu's excited voice came from not far away.

I saw him and Xiao Jie rushing to the shack with a small stack of things, and as soon as they arrived at the shack, they couldn't wait to put down their things, and handed one to Zhiwen and Xiao Yingniang, looking overjoyed.

Zhiwen took it in his hand and looked at it, there was a lot of soil on the surface of this thing, it looked dirty and black, it was thick and long, and there were many thin roots on the epidermis.

"Ouch, this is a yam, it's a good thing."

When Zhiwen was still thinking about what it was, Xiao Yingniang had already called out happily on the side.

Hey! Isn't it a yam, Zhiwenle, this is really sleepy and meets a pillow, and the problem of new food that has been worried for several days has been solved, and this is it.

This yam is really a good thing, it was originally called Potato Herb, first contained in the "Shennong Materia Medica", the Tang Dynasty name Li Pre, so it was changed to potato medicine, and the Northern Song Dynasty was renamed yam because of the avoidance of Song Yingzong Zhao Shu.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint, used yam in his prescription in "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" also said that it has nourishing effects such as nourishing qi and strengthening muscles and spleen.

From the perspective of modern nutrition, yam is not only rich in starch and protein, but also contains enzymes that promote digestion and decompose starch.

What's more, yams can be dug up in the wild, and proper wild vegetables can be taken out and eaten in a bright way, although there are not many in the wild, but if you can't find it, it doesn't mean I can't find it.

Zhiwen took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, happily put a yam into the system, and then called up the panel and planted it on the newly opened land, which went smoothly, and there was no trouble like when planting sorghum and wheat.

How long does it take to harvest? Zhiwen thought again, if it was like sorghum and wheat, it would be a bit useless.

There is still half a month, at most 20 days to go to the official road, when there are many people, this sorghum and wheat can not be eaten as much as possible, can this yam be eaten at that time?

Is there anything I can do to speed it up? Zhiwen groaned.

I remember that in the farm game I played before the crossing, when you have money, you can open new fields, and you can also improve the level, such as turning into black soil, red earth or something, and then there are many benefits, and the accelerated growth of crops is just one of them.

Looking at the twenty-five gold coins left on the panel, Zhiwen was ruthless, and moved it to the top of this field with one brain, silently reciting "upgrade" in his heart.

Anyway, the processing workshop doesn't need many gold coins, and it can be used for a long time to charge one, and it is even more unnecessary to exchange it for silver taels, and now food is more expensive than money.

The number of gold coins was twenty less at once, and then the brown soil slowly began to turn red, and finally froze on the maroon.

This... It should be considered a successful upgrade, right? Zhiwen is still a little uncertain, let's wait and see how long it will take to harvest.

At this time, the three little girls also came back with a few small bundles of wild vegetables, Zhiwen, Xiaojie, and Dazhu each took a wooden bucket, ready to fetch water, and by the way, wash the wild vegetables, especially yams, the surface is full of mud, and you can't eat it without washing.

Zhiwen now uses water the same as looking for wild vegetables to eat, if he can find a water source on the road, he will use it first, if it is really not enough, or he can't find water at all, and then hide and secretly use the water in the system pond.

The water source was found when Zhiwen was digging wild vegetables just now.

"His Aunt Song, his Aunt Song, is he there?" A voice came from outside the shack.

"Yes, yes." Xiao Yingniang agreed and came out of the shack with a few children.

"Aunt Zhang." "Hello Aunt Zhang." Zhiwen is also like everyone else, everyone is shouting about people.

This Aunt Zhang is a family I met on the road a few days ago, and they all stop by, even if it is a companion.

"Alas, Zhiwen, are you going to fetch water?" Aunt Zhang said happily, then pointed to the east and pointed kindly, "There is a stream over that ridge, and there is some water." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang, we just saw it." The big pillar trotted away with the bucket.

"Hey, don't be busy running," Aunt Zhang saw that she couldn't stop shouting Dazhu, so she handed a handful of wild vegetables in her hand to Xiao Yingniang, "Gray cabbage, I just found it, it's quite a lot, I can't finish it, divide it with you, and let a few boys take it to wash by the way." ”

Now on the way to escape, Zhiwen and the others met five families before and after, and naturally the distance between the front and back of the road during the day would not exceed ten meters, and the shacks they built at night were also very close, which could be regarded as taking care of each other.

It made Zhiwen wonder if the novels he read before crossing were fake, those novels all wrote about the people who fled in the Great Famine in a terrible way, there was no basic trust and love between people at all, and there was even a tragedy of cannibalism.

But now, although it is not to eat and live together, whoever finds water on the road will tell each other, and whoever finds wild vegetables will also give me and I will send you in exchange, which is very happy.

No, Xiao Yingniang accepted it unceremoniously, took out a few yams and handed them over with a smile: "We also found good things." ”

"Oops, it's a yam!" Aunt Zhang exclaimed, "I'm welcome, it's enough." ”

Zhiwen and Xiao Jie had already taken the gray cabbage that Xiao Yingniang handed over and went to chase Dazhu.

Rushed to the river beach, five or six people lined up, Dazhu was at the end of the line, saw that they had arrived, left the bucket, took the wild vegetables, and ran away with a "hula".

This should have been a river, but after such a long drought, it has shrunk into a stream, and I am afraid that it will have to be cut off in a few months.

There is a small pit in the upper reaches of the river beach, and everyone queues up here to get water, and as for cleaning wild vegetables, it is downstream of the small pit to avoid dirty water.

I don't know if the other houses haven't washed it yet, or if it's already been washed, and now it's only Dazhu there.

"Zhiwen! Xiao Jie! Come on! As soon as Dazhu put the wild vegetables on the ground, he shouted, "There are fish here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the people in front of Zhiwen and Xiaojie disappeared together.

"Where?"

"Where?"

"Where's the fish?"

asked gossipingly, covering the big pillar so that no one could be seen.

If you really want fish, you can get some meat, let alone fleeing, even if you haven't seen the oil star for a long time before fleeing.

Zhiwen They can eat enough, and occasionally they can eat a pancake and open the fried meat, but they don't think so much about the meat, and their reaction is half a beat slower.

"Well, it's not, a school of small fish." The sound of a large pillar was heard from the crowd.

Quiet, unusually quiet, Dazhu didn't make a sound for a while after he finished speaking, and the atmosphere was very weird.

Then there was the sound of "crackling" footsteps, and a group of people ran back to fetch water, but now they were all lined up behind Zhiwen and Xiaojie.

When Zhiwen and Xiao Jie came to Da Zhu with a bucket full of water, Xiao Jie praised in a low voice: "Da Zhu, well done." After speaking, he squeezed his eyes.

"What's a good job?" Dazhu was still dazed at first, and when he saw the bucket full of water they were carrying, and then looked at the few people who were queuing up again, he suddenly realized.

Then Dazhu was anxious, "There are really fish, I don't believe you." ”

The two of them looked in the direction of the big pillar, the stream was shallow, the sun shimmered with layers of waves, and two small fish about the size of tadpoles were happily swimming in the water.
