This?
This is really arrowroot!
I never thought that I would see it here, if it hadn't been somewhat similar in appearance to Tiger Pilan, I wouldn't have recognized it.

There are many kinds of arrowroot. I have seen many of them. Some are ornamental and some are used for planting. When I was on a business trip in Guangzhou, I went to see the plantation there.

So when I saw its oval, dark green and light green staggered leaves just now, I was guessing whether it was arrowroot. This thing is said to be able to make starch, but I have only eaten arrowroot duck soup. Broth, arrowroot powder is really never eaten, let alone how to make it into powder.

But if the harvest is really a lot, I can consider trying to support them with arrowroot flour. If the amount is large, I can try several times, just like weaving rattan baskets. If you try too much, there is always a possibility of success. In the end, I did not succeed. ?

Maybe it was not dug at the right time. Its tubers are not very big. They are pagoda-shaped and look like bamboo shoots. After the soil is wiped off, the tubers are light yellow and only as long as fingers. The ones I have eaten before are as long as two fingers. When it's time, cut it into pieces and make soup.

There is no such thing in my hometown. The reason why I can remember it so clearly is purely because of its taste. I have never experienced its taste in any other food.

I believe that anyone who has eaten it will definitely remember its taste. It is very refreshing in the mouth, but after chewing, it will be full of starchy taste, which is completely powdery.And it is boiled together with the old duck soup, and the whole umami taste will be integrated into this small arrowroot segment.

The fragrance overflows with your chewing, and the powdery feeling will stick between your teeth, the base of your tongue, and your upper jaw. At this time, add a mouthful of thick soup to melt these delicacies in your mouth and swallow them together. , the delicious and smooth feeling will always permeate the stomach.

Every time this kind of memory can bring me great pain, but this time, fortunately, I ate very full at noon, so I didn't feel hungry again.

It was because I was conquered by it, so curiosity made me go to the local plantation to have a look, otherwise I would not have recognized it, and it was just what I thought in my heart.

If there are only such a few, it is of course too few, but what if there are all of them?

Is it enough?

Enough indeed!Not far away, where the sun shines through the cracks in the canopy of the big tree, there is a large piece of identical arrowroot!

If they were all dug out, I guess it would weigh more than a hundred catties, right?I have no way to make an exact estimate. They are not like the fruits on a tree. You can tell how many there are at a glance. They are all buried deep in the soil and can only be seen after digging.

I don't know when is the best time to harvest these arrowroot. The old farmer I once picked them told me when is the best time to harvest them.But I didn't listen carefully at the beginning, because it didn't matter to me at the time, and I didn't think I would harvest this thing.

But fortunately, there are not a lot of arrowroot, and there are many, and there may be more in the distance...

dig it!

I kept digging like this until the setting sun dyed the whole sky red and the woods began to darken, then I stopped.

I didn't notice it during this busy time. When I stopped, my waist was so sore that I almost couldn't stand upright. It took me about 5 minutes to stand upright before I finally stood upright.

"Alas..." I am still very satisfied with the piles of large and small arrowroot wrapped in soil in the plastic basket, but it is true that I am tired.

After putting the plastic basket on my back, I was ready to go back to rest. After doing rough work all afternoon, my stomach started to make noise again, signaling that I needed to eat.

It feels very strange to me, as if I haven't eaten the last meal for a long time, so I'm hungry again?

What to have for dinner is another headache, not only to consider myself, but also to ensure that Xiao Hei can eat enough...

My brain didn't stop at all along the way, and I gave a lot of suggestions. It thought of all kinds of food that I could make, and even some were very complicated, such as pasta, dumplings and so on.

I should be able to make it too, but I don't want to spend too much time every time, so I haven't considered it, especially today, I am really tired, maybe I will make some gnocchi and add a few arrowroot to eat when I get back to the tree house Forget it, Xiao Hei should be able to accept it...

As soon as I got back to the yard, Xiao Hei rushed over again, but instead of jumping up, he grabbed my trouser legs and pulled me into the house...

This surprised me, did it find something?Or bring something nice back?

As soon as I entered the lower level of the tree house, I saw a fat gray rabbit lying there, very big, with a lot of meat...

But I'm really tired, and it's getting dark, I really don't want to do anything, I just want to rest!So after I put down the plastic basket, I sat down on the stool.But I couldn't bear Xiao Hei's coquettish behavior. It kept rubbing its dog's head against my leg, and looked at me eagerly.

"Okay! You win!" I patted its head lightly, and threw the rabbit and five or six arrowroots into the basket of vines weaved before.

What else can I do?I can only wash it!This guy's timing is very accurate. I just finished cleaning when it got dark and I stumbled all the way back to the tree house.

This time I didn't go to bake the rabbit legs again, but chopped the whole rabbit into pieces and made soup!
The arrowroot should not be placed too early. After a trace of oily soup floated on the rabbit broth, I put the cut arrowroot down.

When cooking, the aroma is not very strong, only a slight meaty aroma wafts from the gap of the covered pot.

After a few minutes of smoldering, sprinkle with salt, and the rabbit meat arrowroot soup is done.

I remember before, when I first heard the name arrowroot, I thought it was the same as taro, but I was wrong, it resembled a small bamboo shoot, some resembled an enlarged pagoda dish, and some resembled a large soil silkworm……

Hei, who smelled the scent, was of course very excited. He still walked around the fire five or six times, and the soot from his tail scattered everywhere. Although I stopped him several times, it didn't work. Started walking again.

Of course, I also know very well that it will only stop after it eats food. As soon as the pot of soup cools down, I will take the half that belongs to it first.

The world was finally quiet, and the soot began to fall slowly following Xiao Hei's silence...

Although the rabbit meat and arrowroot soup is not as delicious as the old duck soup, it is almost the same. I finished eating the arrowroot and the soup, and there was still a lot of rabbit meat left. I couldn’t eat any more, so I poured it directly to Xiao Hei... I will go to the upper floor When it was still eating...

Maybe I can try another day, can this arrowroot be made into arrowroot powder... In that case, the storage time can be greatly extended...

There is also such a large piece of arrowroot, is it really wild?Could it be someone else's?
If it was humanized?Who is that?

Could it be...?
In my thoughts, tiredness hits...

　I just wanted to say that I have finished adding updates to the rudder master, but today there are more sword songs~ Dead leaf rudder master, well, continue to add updates tomorrow...
