Sheng Zhiyi and Shen Qinghuan each had their own thoughts, but they did not delay their work.

The two worked together and harvested about sixty to seventy kilograms of kudzu root in just over an hour.

Just then, Mu Yunxi, who was looking for winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, also came back.

After searching the bamboo forest, she not only found several nests of winter bamboo shoots...

We also found an old kudzu vine that had been growing for more than ten or twenty years on the edge of the bamboo forest.

At this moment, Sheng Zhiyi and Shen Qinghuan were busy cleaning the dirt off the kudzu root...

Seeing this, Mu Yunxi immediately took the two of them to the place where she found the old kudzu vine.

This old vine is very old and as thick as a bowl. It is covered with a layer of slightly yellow moss.

One look at it and you'll know this vine is quite old.

Sheng Zhiyi looked at the vine that was as thick as his arm and marveled in amazement.

He didn't know how many times he had been to this mountain, but he had never noticed that there was such an old kudzu vine here.

Sheng Zhiyi looked at the vines, then looked at his partner, and once again envied his partner's good luck.

Just by looking at the exposed roots of this old vine, you can tell that the kudzu ball underneath must be quite large.

Maybe the weight of this one kudzu root is equivalent to all the kudzu roots they dug out before.

Sheng Zhiyi was still lamenting his partner's good fortune...

When Shen Qinghuan saw this old vine, his handsome face almost turned green.

If the Pueraria root is younger, it can be stewed for a longer time and it may still be digested.

And the kudzu vine in front of him... which was slightly larger than his fist, made it difficult for him to imagine how hard the old tree roots beneath the soil must be... how difficult it must be to chew...

He glanced at Sheng Zhiyi calmly, then secretly glanced at his sister.

Seeing the two of them looking so happy, his mood became even heavier...even his breathing became a little disordered.

He frowned, looking quite conflicted.

A moment of silence...

Finally, he looked at his sister and said tentatively,

"Sister, we've already dug up a lot of this stuff..."

"It should be enough to last for a while."

"I think this vine is too old... Even if it's cooked, it will probably be difficult to chew..."

"Or..."

Or let’s stop digging!

Shen Qinghuan looked at the two people beside him looking at him, thought about it... and swallowed the last sentence.

Mu Yunxi stared at Shen Qinghuan’s face for a moment.

Seeing him hesitate and hesitate, and the words he stammered out...

Mu Yunxi immediately understood that he must have misunderstood something.

She blinked, thought for a few seconds, and spoke softly,

"Although these kudzu roots look a lot, there's actually not much when ground into powder."

"Furthermore, the older the kudzu root is, the more starch it produces. So... even though this old kudzu root may look a bit woody on the outside, it's actually very rich in kudzu starch."

"Besides... the medicinal value of old Pueraria root is much higher than that of younger ones. It can be considered a rare treasure."

Shen Qinghuan was slightly stunned after hearing this.

"So... these kudzu roots are to be ground into powder...?"

Mu Yunxi nodded.

: "Well, if you grind it into arrowroot powder, it will taste much better."

After thinking for a while, she continued,

"If you add a few eggs and fry them into pancakes, it would be a rare delicacy."

Only then did Shen Qinghuan realize that he had misjudged her before.

He thought his sister was a little short of food...

That's why I thought of digging some edible tree roots to replace my food rations.

Now it seems that it is not what he thought at all.

It's all because he thinks too much and overthinks...

A flash of embarrassment crossed Shen Qinghuan's face.

Then he immediately turned on his universal boasting mode,

: "Sister, you are amazing, you know so much!"

Mu Yunxi:......

That's a good compliment, but don't force it anymore.
