Chapter 535: Lure the snake out of its hole (4)
"You don't need to go to the county town today." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Zhang Xu and the others.
"What are we going to eat in the evening if we don't go to the county town?" Monkey asked immediately after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"You guys go to my house and move the food. I dug several thousand kilograms of yam in the mountains in the fall. It just so happens that they are weak after detoxification, so drinking yam porridge is suitable for them."
"What is yam? Can it fill the stomach? And what do you mean when you say yam is suitable for them to eat? Is yam a medicinal ingredient?" The monkey asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Monkey said, Lu Xiaoxiao said, "Chinese yam, also known as potato medicine, has the effects of nourishing qi and yin, tonifying the spleen, lungs and kidneys, consolidating essence and stopping leukorrhea. It is mainly used to treat spleen deficiency, lung deficiency, kidney deficiency, diabetes and qi and yin deficiency.
Harvest time: When the leaves turn yellow after frost.
Preparation method: Take the original medicinal materials, remove impurities, separate large and small strips, soak for 30% to 40% thoroughly, remove, steam until thoroughly moistened, cut into thick slices, and dry.
How to eat: Can be used in soup, steamed or stir-fried (The above functions of yam are all from a search on Baidu, just take a look.)
"Although I don't understand what you mean, it sounds like Yam is very powerful." The monkey said after scratching his head.
"Yam is similar to potato, but yam has more medicinal value than potato."
"I understand after hearing what you said. It's really amazing that you dug several thousand kilograms of yam by yourself." After saying this, Monkey gave Lu Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.
"I'm not that great. I spent the whole autumn digging for those yams. I almost vomited after digging so much."
"We can't take your yam. Keep it for yourself and eat it slowly." Monkey spoke immediately after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Yes, if we take your yam today, we will feel guilty." Mu Tou also said quickly.
"Zhang Xu, do you think we should let them go to my house to move the yams?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhang Xu.
"Monkey, Mu Tou, you two and Xiao Xiao go down the mountain to move yams." Zhang Xu immediately said to Monkey and Mu Tou after hearing what the little girl said.
"Boss, how could you do this? You are such a scumbag." Monkey said to Zhang Xu angrily after hearing what he said.
Zhang Xu's face darkened when he heard what the monkey said. He then kicked the monkey's calf and said, "Buy it with money."
After hearing what Zhang Xu said, Monkey realized that he had misunderstood Zhang Xu and thought he wanted to eat for free, so he immediately said, "Boss, I was wrong. I will go down the mountain with Lu Xiaoxiao to move the yam right now."
Zhang Xu ignored the monkey's words and said to the little girl, "Be careful on the road. If you are too tired, don't go up the mountain."
"I see."
Zhang Xu stood at the entrance of the cave and watched the little girl's back as she left and chuckled. He had lived in the little girl's house for so long, so how could he not know what the little girl had at home? Not to mention thousands of kilograms of yam, the little girl didn't even have dozens of kilograms of yam at home.
What the little girl said just now could only fool Monkey and the others, but he never thought of finding out the little girl's secret. He just wanted to help the little girl protect his secret.
"Lu Xiaoxiao, do you eat yam as a meal every day?" The monkey asked Lu Xiaoxiao while walking.
"No."
"Then aren't you afraid that all those yams will go bad if you don't eat them right away?"
"Yam is not so easy to spoil. If it is stored well, it can be kept for more than half a year. What's more, I can cook it and dry it, so it can be stored for a long time." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing what the monkey said.
