Chapter 206 Harvesting Yams

After arriving on the mountain, Lin Qiuyue pointed to the yam vine and said, "It's this kind of vine, and the roots below it are yam. You have to dig like this, and be careful not to damage it."

After Lin Qiuyue finished speaking, a villager came over, picked up a hoe and dug in. After a few hoeings, he dug out a yam as thick as an arm.

This yam weighed at least four or five kilograms, which meant that such a large piece could be sold for dozens of pennies.

With just a few hoeings, I could earn dozens of cash. This was so good, even better than helping Lin Qiuyue open up wasteland.

The villagers were so happy that they felt as if they saw a lot of copper coins being thrown at them.

So the villagers immediately dispersed to dig yams.

When Lin Qiuyue saw that all the villagers were digging, she thought of another plant that was similar to yam, and that was kudzu root.

Pueraria lobata powder can be baked into pancakes and eaten as a paste, and it has high nutritional value.

So she searched carefully for kudzu in the mountains.

Niu Er nodded and jumped out of the pit. When he saw two baskets on his back, he was a little confused. They had been digging here all afternoon, so there must be more than that.

Lin Qiuyue looked at so many kudzu roots that the villagers looked down on, but she loved them very much.

When the villagers heard that this had to be ground into powder, they thought it was very troublesome and a waste of time, so they might as well dig yams.

Little did he know that Lin Qiuyue put all the excess into the space, leaving only this much outside.

He had a lot of strength, and he dug out a lot of kudzu roots in just a few strokes.

"Miss, how do you eat this kudzu?"

Niu Er asked as he walked.

Niu Er raised his head, wiped his sweat, and gasped.

Lin Qiuyue was speechless, she dug it herself.

Sure enough, she found a large piece of kudzu vine, and Lin Qiuyue picked up the hoe and started digging.

"This needs to be beaten into powder, and only the starch is eaten. The starch can be baked into pancakes or made into a paste and eaten. It is very delicious."

After the master and servant had finished digging the whole area, it was almost dark. Lin Qiuyue found that all the villagers in the village had gone down the mountain, and she and Niu Er were the only ones still here digging.

Sure enough, after digging the soil, a large piece of kudzu root was exposed.

At this time, a villager came over and asked her.

"Well, let's go then. I've packed two baskets, one for each person."

Niu Er also came up the mountain this time. He asked Lin Qiuyue to rest on the edge while he dug.

However, although Niu Er had doubts in his heart, he picked up the basket and left without asking any more questions.

"Miss, we've finally finished digging. Let's pack up and go back quickly. It's almost dark."

"This is called Kudzu. It can be powdered and baked into pancakes. It can also be boiled in water and drunk."

"Qiuyue, is this the yam you mentioned? I feel it looks a bit different."

There were a lot of kudzu roots in this area, so Lin Qiuyue helped Niu Er dig it out alone.

"No wonder the people in the village don't like this and want to turn it into fans. It's really a waste of time."

Lin Qiuyue smiled and said: "If they don't want it, it's their loss. When the time comes, I'll ask them to dig it, then I'll collect it, and I'll ask them to grind the powder for me. Then I will sell the powder, and they will see that I make money."

"Hey, I won't regret them to death when the time comes."

The master and the servant went down the mountain while chatting. When they arrived at the door, they saw a lot of villagers gathered at the door. When they saw them coming back, they hurriedly ran towards them.

"Qiuyue, why are you back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Only then did Lin Qiuyue remember that the villagers were here to sell yams.

She said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. We came back after digging out the large piece of kudzu. It took a little time. Don't worry, we will weigh you right away."

Lin Qiuyue said as she followed Niu Er into the yard.

Aunt Luo and the others happened to be back, so Lin Qiuyue asked them to help. Then he went back to the house and took out the money.

It took a full hour of work to buy all the yams from the villagers.

Good guy, I collected more than two thousand catties in just this afternoon.

"Miss, they have all been sold, don't they want to eat?"

Xiaofu asked puzzledly.

"I think they will go to town to buy food tomorrow. They have never eaten this kind of food and dare not eat it."

Lin Qiuyue guessed.

Xiaofu asked: "Is this delicious? How about we get some to eat tonight?"

"Okay, I'll tell you how to make it later. Let's make some to eat tonight."

Xiaofu ordered the car and waited for Lin Qiuyue to tell her.

Lin Qiuyue told everyone how to peel it and how to make it delicious. In the future, anyone who has time can make it.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then everyone went to help get food.

With a few helping hands, the meal was quickly cooked.

Looking at the large pot of bacon stewed with yam, it smells delicious when sprayed, and everyone swallows their saliva.

"Use your chopsticks."

Lin Qiuyue said, then she picked up a piece of yam and put it into her mouth to chew slowly. This is the taste of yam.

The wild yams in the mountains are refreshing, a little sweet, and have a very good taste.

But the yam is still a yam, and you can’t taste the meat. The taste is still the same, no different from what you remember.

That night, everyone had a wonderful meal.

Aunt Luo and the others were filled with emotion. They said they were both unfortunate and lucky in this life. They had been through that kind of experience, and they were just going to have fun in this life, but they didn't expect to meet Lin Qiuyue.

Not only did he save them, he also gave them a way to live.

They can still live well-fed and well-clothed every day, and this is nothing more than the life of those wealthy families.

In this life, they are enough.

Lin Qiuyue looked at the large amount of yams and thought about how to deal with them in the most cost-effective way.

It was estimated that in the future, the villagers would dig a lot of yams, so they thought about selling them in Fucheng.

The county seat is easy to sell now, but the price in the county seat is not affordable, but some of it can be sold there to solve everyone's food problem.

The rest were taken to Fucheng to be sold.

So she asked Niu Er and the others to put all the yams in the warehouse, and she would put them away when the time came.

After the move was completed, it was getting late, so everyone washed up and went to bed.

Lin Qiuyue practiced Qigong for a while in the space as usual, and then went to bed.

In the next few days, the village chief personally led a team to dig yams in the mountains. Even the villagers who were clearing land for Lin Qiuyue stopped working and went into the mountains to dig yams.

In five days, Lin Qiuyue received 20,000 kilograms of yams.

There were so many yams that had to be disposed of, so she borrowed the village's ox cart and sent one to the county to sell, and also sent some to County Magistrate Lin for him to try.

Lin Qiuyue personally took the other part to Fucheng to sell.

This time when she went to Fucheng, she had other things to do, which was to buy jade jewelry.

This time she went alone, without anyone else, which would be troublesome.

When she planned to come back, she would move the fruit seedlings out of the space and pretend to have bought them from Fucheng.
