Start of the famine: Take the crazy batch of sisters to farm and make a fortune

Chapter 69
"Brother Ding, are you familiar with konjac?"

Xu Hui, who was pulling Ding Laowu, asked in a suppressed voice.

Ding Laowu's eyes were full of question marks.

Seeing that he was not familiar with this, Xu Hui was a little tangled.

"...Then what, my aunt said this thing is poisonous."

Ding Laowu paused: "!"

He only knew that his eldest niece was big-minded and courageous, but he didn't know that she was so big.

With a sullen face, Ding Laowu strode after him.

"Don't you know this konjac is poisonous?"

"I know." Ding Xuewei nodded without hesitation.

How could the person staring at her not know, Ding Laowu became angry: "Since we know it is poisonous, why do people still dig it up and say that it is eaten?"

"Grandma said this stuff is edible." She slipped the old grandma out without hesitation.

The previous decision, no longer mentioning the old lady, was directly thrown into the dog's stomach.

It's not that she doesn't worry about Li Shi and the others, but that no one would dare to try this konjac without the old lady!
How can I sell something that I dare not eat at home?
Sure enough, as soon as the grandma came out, the angry Ding Laowu lost his breath.

Staring at her for a moment, he only asked, "Are you sure?"

"Uncle Wu, can I make fun of my family?" Ding Xuewei asked directly.

Ding Laowu was speechless.

In his opinion, there is a difference between the eldest niece's treatment of her family and her own siblings, but this difference should make her dare not act recklessly.

An old lady just shut up Ding Laowu. Xu Hui was very curious about this old lady. Of course, it was obviously not something he could ask, and he knew it very well.

"I didn't seem to be able to help much. It was boring to follow, so I turned back."

With the medicinal recipe in front of him, Ding Laowu could only nod at his words, but the women who listened to their conversation were very curious about how to eat konjac.

After putting down their backpacks, they all didn't want to leave.

"Girl, do you need our help?"

Ding Xuewei didn't bother to point out the small thoughts of the few people, and said with a smile: "I don't need it for the time being, the aunts can go back and do their work."

Several people left with regret.

The people in Yuequan Village really didn't have a good attitude towards konjac. When the old woman of the village head's family saw Ding Xuewei untie the long grass wrapped outside, she dexterously avoided it.

The movements of her hands stopped, and Ding Xue raised her head slightly and said, "Grandma Qiao, the toxicity of this stuff will disappear after cooking."

"...do you want to cook?" the old lady asked in horror.

Suddenly I don't want to lend the guy to them.

"Grandma Qiao, don't worry about lending me the things at home. If this thing is poisonous, I will buy a new one for everything I have touched." Ding Xuewei, who understood her thoughts, promised slightly.

The old lady really wanted to say grandly that she would not have to pay, but she had to use an iron pot for cooking, and the iron pot cost a few taels of silver, which was not something she was generous with.

Ding Xuewei didn't want to delay at all, so she just asked the old lady's entanglement.

"Grandma Qiao, can you find me a bowl, a bucket, a big basin, etc?"

The old lady hurried in and out with a complex expression.

Before long, everything Ding Xuewei wanted was in front of him.

"Can you give some stove ashes?"

Plant ash can produce alkali, which is needed to make konjac.

At this moment, Ding Xuewei is very grateful that his era was so developed, and even more grateful for the waves of popular science from bloggers.

Otherwise, even looking at the konjac leaf, she wouldn't know what it was!
The blogger in the short video has rubber gloves, not afraid of allergic reactions, she has rubber gloves to use.

He didn't dare to ask Pandi to help.

While washing the soil outside the konjac with the water from the village head's house, Pan Di was asked to soak the plant ash in water.

Thinking about the alkali in the plant ash, it might not be effective enough to touch the konjac with the alkaline water soaked in this way, so I didn’t dare to add water when grinding, because I was afraid that the konjac here would be different from my own world, so when she peeled it, she peeled half and discarded the other half , I didn’t touch the konjac pulp during the whole process of grinding, and I didn’t dare to eat the konjac after it was formed. Instead, I took my idea to the two fat hens of the village head’s house.

"Grandma Joe..."

Grandma Qiao didn't want to sell a chicken that cost ten taels of silver, but she couldn't resist a chicken that cost 20 taels.

"One at most." The old lady pointed out a finger.

Ding Xuewei wanted to try harder.

"Only one, girl, you have to be poisonous when making this thing, one old hen is enough."

The old lady didn't believe her words that the konjac was not poisonous after being boiled.

There is no way, Ding Xuewei can only save 20 taels.

Now, it was almost noon, and although the old hen that had been fed in the morning was very wary of the konjac shreds, it clucked for a while, and after a while, it still swallowed.

I don't know if it's because I'm hungry, or if Ding Xuewei made this one, the moist konjac tastes so good, or if the one-inch-long filaments suit his appetite, he actually ate a lot.

When old man Ding, the village chief and others came back, sisters Ding Xuewei and Laowu Ding stared at the fat hen in the chicken coop without blinking.

Ding Xuewei is still very reliable. After knowing that the village chief's house has a clay pot for cooking medicine, he used that clay pot. Otherwise, how could the old lady dare to cook!

"Hungry?"

Looking at the rows of children squatting at the door of the chicken coop, it was hard for old man Ding to think otherwise.

Hearing the old man's voice, Ding Laowu grabbed the old man like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

"father·····"

Hey, Ding Laowu Ding Xuewei found out that the grandmother taught her to make water tofu, and that the sticky konjac juice magically turned into konjac cubes, and spent 20 days to buy a chicken for experimentation Shake it out.

It didn't take long for old man Ding to go from being surprised at the beginning to being calm at the end.

"How long has it been?" he asked.

Looking up at the sun, Ding Lao Wu reckoned: "It's half an hour less."

"I read in the book that the drunken chicken is only half an hour younger!" Ding old man thought, if the tofu is poisonous, it should explode in the amount eaten by an old hen.

Ding Xuewei was thinking about whether to enter the space to find out the time of the poisoning of plant alkaloid poisoning, but old man Ding gave her a similar reference, and immediately, she was not in a hurry.

"Pandi, just watch, I'll bring you a bowl, Laidi, Anping, let's go, let's eat."

No matter what happened, she only yelled at Pandi, and Laidi and Anping, who were already used to it, stood up naturally.

Ding Laowu, who has witnessed the formation of konjac tofu, also wants to witness whether it is poisonous.

"Bring it to me too."

Although old man Ding didn't know much about konjac, he knew that the addition of a new food could make the people less distressed, so he didn't stop Ding Lao Wu's behavior.

Together with Ding Xuewei and his brother, they walked to the hall of the village chief's house.

Yuequan Village has a lot of seasonal vegetables such as mustard greens, spinach, and cabbage seedlings. In order to earn some extra money for the village head’s family, the Ding family ordered soup directly from the village head’s house. The footsteps went, but Xu Hui squatted next to the Ding family.

If he couldn't ask, he didn't ask whether the old hen would be poisoned, but he could discuss it with Ding Laowu.
