Chapter 136 Sooner or later we will be poor

“I haven’t had a bowl of anything like this in a long time!”

"Did the pumpkin soup you ate last night go into the dog's belly?"

"Wow, wow, I almost cried when I tasted it, it's so delicious!"

Seeing how big everyone was, Grandma Chen was still sitting there holding a bowl and wiping her tears. She suddenly laughed and said, "We are about to start living a good life now. As long as everyone remembers to listen to Dr. Jin, we will be right."

"Yes, that's right!"

"I'm going to dig up the mountain again later. We've finished digging there, so I'll go further to look for it!"

"I'll go too, and I'll take some more branches with me, so that I can plant a piece of land in the future!"

"Okay, you, weren't you worried that eating this would poison you just now?"

"Aren't I scared? But it's fine if we eat it. Don't you allow me to regret it?"

"Hahaha."

The situation here is similar. Jin Yan and the others also ate cassava for lunch today. This food is very satiating. They only ate a small bowl and drank a little water and they felt almost satisfied.

The old man was quite shocked. He didn't expect that something dug from the mountain could smell like this.

Fu Songyu devoured the cassava. While eating, he called Jin Jiaojiao to bring him some chili sauce, "Although this food is quite delicious, I think the taste is a bit bland. Hey, some chili sauce would be just right!"

The old man looked at it from the side and took a bite the next second.

This chili sauce is really delicious, fragrant and spicy. You will feel warm all over after taking one bite.

Jin Yan was stunned when he heard this, "I forgot, I didn't put anything in the cassava cooking today, no wonder it tastes very bland."

When they ate this bland food, they felt it was quite tasteless. If other people kept eating like this, wouldn’t they all feel panicked in their hearts?

The more she thought about this, the more she felt that she should give everyone some salt this morning, otherwise she would not have the strength to go on the road.

Jiang Yan laughed while eating cassava, "It's good to eat something light every now and then, so that he can scratch his fat, otherwise a kid as big as him will eat us up sooner or later."

This refers to Sang scolding Huai. Fu Songyu immediately became unhappy, "Jiang Yan, how can you dislike me!"

There is a saying that goes well, a young man like me is a poor man, and Jiang Yan, a black-hearted man, actually secretly cursed him as my father!

Fu Songyu suddenly grinned with anger.

Jin Yan and Jiang Yan sat together and finished their lunch slowly.

"How are we going to take away so much cassava?" Jiang Yan looked at the pile of cassava with some worry. Just cooking this cassava is a bit troublesome. The most important thing is that it is waste water, so it is not cost-effective to take it with you.

Jin Yan held his chin and thought for a while, "Cook part of it and take it with you on the road, and make the rest into tapioca flour! Then you don't have to worry."

This cassava flour has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make alcohol, fructose, MSG, beer, biscuits, vermicelli, etc. Others are a bit complicated for now, but cassava vermicelli can be made.

She will wait until she has the opportunity to make alcohol later. This is something she wished she could have appeared out of thin air a few days ago.

Thinking this, Jin Yan immediately called for people to start working.

Fu Songyu was going hunting in the afternoon. Ever since Jiang Yan disliked him for eating too much, he had been extra conscious about going out to look for food.

Everyone tacitly agreed to let him go. Anyway, this kid was indeed quite capable. Maybe he was just thinking about his face, so he would only come back after taking some things, large and small.

This can be regarded as earning food for oneself, and Jin Yan has always admired this kind of behavior.

As long as the remaining people could move, they all took knives and started chopping cassava. It would have been more convenient to have a stone grinder or something, but it was a pity that there was not one.

Then it can only be made by hand.

Jin Yan really did something that was completely unbecoming of a human being, and even the old man was dragged into doing the work.

By the time everyone had finished cooking the cassava, it was almost getting dark.

Several people quickly separated and went to do their own things. They had to leave early tomorrow morning and had to pack up tonight.

Jin Yan went to see Granny Chen again and found that everyone was busy preparing food, and greeted her warmly when she came.

While distributing the salt she brought to everyone, she asked, "Everyone seems very happy. How much food have you prepared?"

Grandma Chen sat next to her and pointed, "They came back from lunch and then went to the mountains again. They dug a lot of cassava, even the bitter cassava. There were a lot of them."

Each of the six families has an average of several hundred pounds, which will be loaded on a pallet truck.

That cart was no longer just a cart, it was a grain cart, with wooden barrels placed on it, and the barrels were filled with cooked cassava.

Jin Yan was immediately confused, "Didn't I just dig sweet cassava as promised? Bitter cassava doesn't taste good."

"Everyone wants to take more food with them. Don't worry, Doctor Jin. We've been cooking it for a long time. I guarantee that you'll be fine if you eat it." A woman said while knitting straw sandals.

Granny Chen saw that she was looking at other people's straw sandals in awe, and immediately said, "Everyone's feet are worn out on the road, and they have to change to a new pair of straw sandals every two days, so we all gather together to make shoes when we have free time."

Jin Yan nodded in realization. They were not as miserable as others. They really relied on these two feet to get through this journey, so she didn't know there was such a layer of hardship.

"It's just that these straw sandals never wear out no matter how you knit them, so I have to make new ones every day."

Soon other people gathered around with their own work. Now everyone has food, is full of energy, and everyone talks with a smile.

Mrs. Liu also ran over after finishing her work, "Oh, everyone is here!"

"Just waiting for you."

Seeing that they were getting along well, Jin Yan immediately asked, "I see that everyone brought a lot of cassava. How much water did you bring? How many days can you guarantee drinking it?"

Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said, "Our family of six does not have a car, but we have made a cart. The food we bring is enough for half a month. If we save more food, it will cost more than 20 yuan."

There’s no problem with the sky.”

As soon as she finished speaking, others began to show off their own food, "Our family digs the most cassava, and also digs some bitter cassava. If you eat sparingly, you can eat it for more than half a month!"

This is only the cooked food. Everyone is afraid that it will rot after being cooked for too long, so there is still a lot of uncooked food.

I can only hope that I can find a source of water in the future so that I can eat it.

Grandma Chen looked at them with envy, "Your family has brought so much food!"

"Damn it, Granny Chen, don't you know about them? There are many young people in their family and they eat a lot. How can they really eat for more than half a month?"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately made everyone laugh.

The man was not angry, and said helplessly, "That's right, everyone is edible. I have to guard them every day, just to be afraid that one of them will take another bite."

Almost all families without cars have made carts. After Jin Yan's improvement, the carts are easy to push and pull, and can carry a lot of things.
