After eating and drinking, the three of them cleaned up the dishes and prepared to rest for a while before going to the back mountain to dig kudzu root...
Then the two brothers Jiang Bei and Jiang Kai, as well as the couple Wang Fang and Wan Hao, came looking for them, carrying hoes and backpacks.
Several people had happy smiles on their faces, and when they saw Mu Yunxi, they began to thank her.
"Mu Zhiqing, the pancake you gave us is really delicious."
Jiang Bei looked at Mu Yunxi with a smile and said.
"Yes, Xixi, the arrowroot egg pancake you made tastes really good, even better than the pancakes made with flour."
Wang Fang also smiled and agreed.
Mu Yunxi's eyes curved, looking at the posture of several people, raised eyebrows and raised lips,
: "What are you doing...?"
Although she already had the answer in her heart, she still took the initiative to ask.
Wang Fang, carrying a backpack, took two steps forward cheerfully.
"Xixi, let's go dig up kudzu roots together. I know there's a place upstream of the river where a lot of kudzu roots grow. Let's go dig it up."
"Yes, I also know two places where there are a lot of kudzu vines. Let's go and dig them together."
Jiang Bei also spoke immediately afterwards.
Wan Hao, who was usually taciturn, also took the opportunity to speak.
: "I also know a few places where kudzu root grows."
Wang Fang looked at Mu Yunxi with a smile and invited her warmly.
"Xixi, do you want to go dig kudzu roots with us?"
Since Xixi was so generous in sharing with everyone how to consume kudzu root powder, they naturally wouldn't hesitate to share with her the places they knew where kudzu root grew.
Jiang Bei: "Yes, we can all go dig it together, make it into kudzu starch, and then we can share it."
Wang Fang and Jiang Kai nodded in unison.
: "I agree."
: "I agree too."
Mu Yunxi's eyes quickly passed over them, and she smiled and shook her head.
"Forget about going together. I suggest we all go our separate ways."
"After all... it would be really eye-catching for a large group of us to go digging for kudzu root together."
"Although people in our village don't eat kudzu root very often, it is still a collective asset after all."
"If we dig less, it's fine. But if we dig too much, if someone sees us, there's no guarantee that something bad will happen."
Wang Fang's eyes fixed when she heard that...and her smile instantly disappeared.
Careless...
I was so happy that I almost forgot about it.
The two brothers Jiang Bei and Jiang Kai also fell silent immediately.
It can be said that...except Wan Hao, the other three of them have never really thought about this issue.
Because in their opinion, Pueraria root is something that no one in the village wants.
Even if they dig it up and bring it back home, the villagers probably won't say anything.
But now, after hearing what Mu Yunxi said, they suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.
yes......
People's hearts are hard to predict, especially in this difficult world.
If they only dig up a little bit to eat, no one will say anything even if they see it.
At most, they thought they didn't have enough food, so they dug up some unpalatable kudzu roots to replace their rations.
But once they dig more, there is no guarantee that someone won’t come up with other ideas.
After all...there is no shortage of smart people in this world, and there is no shortage of bad-intentioned people.
If someone is not careful and is reported by someone with ulterior motives... they are accused of embezzling collective assets...
Just thinking about it... makes several people feel a chill in their hearts.
It was true that after moving to the countryside, their lives had become too stable, and they had almost lost even their basic sense of caution and vigilance.
The more they thought about it, the more solemn their expressions became.
They really should wake themselves up!
Mu Yunxi glanced at the expressions on the faces of the people in front of her and knew that they must have heard it.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
"Go dig some kudzu roots! We still have some left over from the bamboo forest yesterday. We'll go dig there later."
After thinking about it, she gave one more reminder.
"When you dig up kudzu root, it's best to pick older ones. Younger ones don't have much powder. Also... after you dig up the kudzu root, remember to bury the vines back in the soil so they can continue growing next year."
Wang Fang, Jiang Bei and others nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood.
Then he told Mu Yunxi about several places he knew where kudzu root grew, and then they started to act separately.
