One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
After pulling out the vines, Xu Ning exchanged for a small shovel and started digging yams.
As the sun gradually rose higher, little Xu Ning dug and dug, but the twisted yams only filled a small corner of the treasure chest.
Xu Ning glanced at the vine that she had picked the yam eggs and discarded aside. Some of the newly grown seedlings on the vine were still very tender. Xu Ning felt it was a pity, so she asked the treasure box to help her look through the encyclopedia. She found that the seedlings were edible, so she pulled them off and threw them into the space without saying a word.
"Bao, how do you eat these seedlings?" Xu Ning chatted with the treasure chest while pulling.
"Hello players, yam seedlings can be made into sauces, pickles, stir-fries, or mixed with cold dishes. Eating them can boost immunity, help digest starchy foods, and have blood sugar-lowering and antioxidant effects."
"Wow, it has so many benefits? What about yam?"
"Hello players, yam is a healthy food with high nutritional value. Its main functions are to improve physical fitness, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and nourish the kidneys and improve essence.
Improve physical fitness: Dioscorea saponin in yam is known as the natural "mother of hormones". It can promote the synthesis of endocrine hormones, enhance the metabolism of skin epidermal cells and the skin's moisturizing function, and improve physical fitness.
Strengthens the spleen and stomach: Yam enhances the digestive and absorptive functions of the spleen and stomach, making it a dual-purpose food and medicine that nourishes the spleen and stomach. It can be consumed regardless of spleen yang deficiency or stomach yin deficiency. Clinically, it is often used with stomach and intestine drinks to treat spleen and stomach weakness, poor appetite, fatigue, and diarrhea.
Nourishes the kidneys and improves essence: Yams strengthen the body, nourish the kidneys and improve essence. They can be taken to treat kidney deficiency, spermatorrhea, excessive vaginal discharge in women, and frequent urination. (Baidu)
After listening to the treasure chest read out a string, Xu Ning said with an awkward smile: "It's really nutritious. I have to eat more!"
This group of people, the elderly, the weak, women, children and the middle-aged, are all suitable to eat more yam. Yam is really a magical food!
Xu Ning didn't stop his hands while thinking, and he didn't forget to let the treasure box continue to see if there were any other uses for the yam.
It turns out that yam seedlings can actually be developed into various beverages, jams, and canned foods. Xu Ning had never heard of this before; when he lived in the countryside, he only ate roots and tubers.
In the past, yam vines were most commonly used for fences, but I didn’t expect them to be used so widely nowadays.
Xu Ning thought that when she and the Xu family found a suitable place to live, she would definitely try growing yam.
After all, yam has a long fruiting period and a wide range of applications. It is definitely an ideal crop with promotion value for developing efficient agriculture!
"Daya, where have you been? Can you pee all morning?!" Old Lady Xu was so busy that she forgot about Xu Daya. When she remembered her, it was already noon. Not seeing her enemy Xu Ning for a while, Old Lady Xu became worried again.
Xu Ning heard Old Lady Xu muttering from afar, wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and replied, "Grandma, come quickly! I found lots of food!"
Old Mrs. Xu handed the task of cooking to Zhang. She came to the woods to find Xu Ning, and brought Xu's second child with her.
Shortly after breakfast, Xu Xiaobao took Xu Dabao and picked a lot of small red fruits. Hunter Li also found a cave suitable for living. Xu Xiaobao was so excited that he wanted to tell Xu Ning the good news immediately.
"Daya, are you digging a hole?" Old Mrs. Xu followed the voice and found Xu Ning. She discovered that she looked like she had rolled on the ground, her body covered in mud.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"younger sister?"
