The distribution area of kudzu root: Liaoning, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, etc. There are several mountains behind Dahe Village, and there will definitely be kudzu, but I don't know exactly where it is.

Kudzu is best harvested in winter (December ~ February), when it has stopped growing and entered a dormant period, accumulating a lot of active ingredients and having the best quality. But now I can't do so much to fill my stomach.

Liu Yimiao said: "Mom, I want to go and see if there are any wild vegetables outside."

Mrs. Liu: "Good baby is diligent, don't go, the sun is so big outside, and the places where there are wild vegetables have been picked, everyone who doesn't want to save some food, you don't have to go to see it."

Liu Yimiao: "I'll go in the morning, it's not too hot, Mom, didn't you say I'm lucky, what if I find it."

Mrs. Liu: "Then let Liu Mei and Liu Li go with you."

Mrs. Liu: "Liu Mei, Liu Li follows your aunt, don't let your aunt get tired." There's something you do. Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to follow herself, she still had to earn a job, so she had to let the two little girls follow.

Liu Yimiao took Liu Mei and Liu Li to march on the mountain. Liu Mei said: "Aunt, the wild vegetables on the hillside have been cut, let's find another place."

Liu Yimiao: "Have you ever seen a kind of stout rattan around here, it may be seven or eight meters long, and the vine is covered with yellow hard hairs."

Liu Mei: "I've seen this kind of rattan, and I can't eat it, no one digs it, there is one on this hillside, I'll take you to see it."

Liu Yimiao saw that it was really kudzu, and since no one had dug it all the time, it grew quite a lot, so she asked Liu Mei and Liu Li to dig with her. Liu Mei remembered Mrs. Liu's words, otherwise Liu Yimiao would have done it.

Liu Yimiao didn't move, and it didn't take much effort to dig only one, so let Li Mei and the others dig it. Digging and digging to touch a section of thick roots, Liu Yimiao asked Liu Mei and the others to dig out the thick roots. The good guy is one meter long, about forty pounds.

Liu Yimiao and Liu Mei carried the kudzu root home, and many people in the village saw it, and they were all talking about the Liu family's lack of food to eat, and began to eat the roots.

Liu Yimiao also heard other people's discussions and ignored them. Mrs. Liu has mysterious confidence in Liu Yimiao, she thinks that Liu Yimiao must have dug up something good before carrying it back.

Mrs. Liu is not busy anymore, so she will clean up and go home to see Liu Yimiao.

There is a shortage of water at home, so the soil on the kudzu root is dried, and then it is easy to remove the mud on it after drying, and the skin of the kudzu is washed with water after patting it clean, and then Liu Yimiao said: "Mom, this is the kudzu root can fill the stomach, you grind this into a pulp and simply filter it and then put it in the pot to cook."

Mrs. Liu did not say a word and did so, just grinded several pots of pulp, Mrs. Liu saw that the slurry was a little yellow in white, so she took a pot to cook, and tasted it after cooking, and found that it was much more delicious than black batter.

Liu Yimiaoshui: "The book says that Pueraria lobata has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, quenching thirst, tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the spleen, benefiting the stomach and soothing the nerves, clearing the heart and eyes, moistening the intestines and laxative, etc., so you can eat it with confidence."

Mrs. Liu knew that this was a good thing when she heard it, Liu Mei and Liu Li also ate a bowl, they felt so delicious, they were still smart.

Mrs. Liu: "You resisted such a big piece of something, although I don't know what it is, but everyone knows it, I have to tell the whole village."

Liu Yimiao: "There are many of these things on the hillside, and they can be eaten for a long time by cutting them into slices or grinding them into powder and drying them." You discuss with the village chief, and we will dig up some and save them first. ”

Mrs. Liu first asked her eldest son and third son to go home to listen to Liu Yimiao's arrangement, and she went to find the village chief herself.

Liu Mei and Liu Yimiao explained this matter to Liu Aiguo and Liu Aiguo, and after tasting a bowl, they knew that kudzu was a good thing.

Liu Yimiao didn't go with him this time, and asked Liu Mei and Liu Li to take them to dig, and they also brought their own flat shoulders and sacks.

Mrs. Liu went to the village chief: "Dagen, there is good news." Our good baby found a kind of food on the mountain, we have eaten a few buckets, the taste is not bad, much better than the black batter, the key is that the hillside has grown a lot. ”

The village chief thought that his aunt couldn't lie to her, so he followed Mrs. Liu to the hillside to see the specific situation. It just so happened that Liu Aiguo was digging, and the village chief saw that the roots under him were so strong, so he knew that he could collect a lot.

The village chief went to Liu Yimiao's house to drink a bowl again, and he felt that the taste was really good. Mrs. Liu said that it could be sliced or ground into powder and dried for a long time, which was life-saving food, so she hurriedly convened a villager meeting to talk about it.

Liu Yimiao's house installed more than 200 catties and didn't dig again.

The village chief asked whoever had free time to follow Liu Aiguo to see how to dig kudzu, and he could also ask Mrs. Liu how to make kudzu.

The whole village was mobilized and went to find Kudzu. Some children of several years old followed along with small shovels.

Some people just dig without earning their work, and the hillside is dug with potholes.

"Ding, the host has completed the task, reward: 100 catties of white noodles have been sent to the host system backpack."

When Liu Yimiao heard this prompt and knew that after completing the task, Gegen must have gained more than 1,000 catties, and his own family had collected more than 200 catties, and some people had found more and collected 3 or 400 catties. Everyone can hold on until the new food comes down.

Liu Yimiao simply processed the harvested kudzu at home, and prepared a part of it to be cut into slices and dried, which does not require much water; Part of it is ground into powder and dried. Now the weather is hot, and it will dry after two days of sunbathing.

Everyone was happy to see so much food. Liu Yimiao said: "Mom, let's take this kudzu powder and give some to the old lady, people have given us so much rice, and it is also a snack for us to send some kudzu powder."

Mrs. Liu said, "Is the old lady in the provincial capital?" It's so far, I don't want you to be burdened. ”

Liu Yimiao: "The old lady told me last time that she didn't live with her son, and her wife hadn't retired yet, and she was working in the county."

Mrs. Liu thought, let's go to the county seat. asked Liu Aiguo to borrow an ox cart from the village, brought a letter of introduction, and the two set off the next day.
