Farm Gate Escape: There is Room For Full-level Bosses

   Chapter 315 This thing is too particular

  Cassava is poisonous, but at the same time, cassava is also one of the three major potato crops in modern times, the third largest food crop in hot regions, and the sixth largest food crop in the world, known as the "king of starch".

   Cassava has excellent characteristics such as rough growth, easy cultivation, high yield and four seasons harvesting. It is extracted into starch and is widely used in the market.

   For example, before the end of the world, the pearls in the bubble tea, which was popular all over the world, were made of tapioca flour.

   Another example is the snacks that girls like, taro balls, mochi, crystal rice balls, etc., tapioca flour is indispensable.

  In addition to making daily delicacies, cassava is also widely used as feed, starch, glucose fuel ethanol and other industrial raw materials.

   Bai Wutong picked up the cassava in the hands of the village chief Zhao, and was about to speak when Lu Ye, who was next to him, saw it, and hurriedly said: "Madam, the cassava is poisonous, put it down quickly."

   Before Bai Wutong could react, Chu Tianbao had already snatched it from her hand and threw the cassava to the ground.

   "pop" the cassava was broken into two sections, revealing the white flesh, which looked delicious.

   Everyone heard Lu Ye shouting and crowded around. Seeing the cassava smashed into two pieces on the ground, Wen Renhua stepped forward and measured it with a silver needle.

The moment the    silver needle was pulled out, it turned black.

   Bai Wutong widened his eyes in surprise, as if he was acting in a TV series.

  Wen Renhua said: "This thing is highly poisonous."

   The rest of the people holding cassava and wanting to be the first to try it, immediately threw the cassava away.

   Especially Lin Yue, who peeled off the cassava skin and opened his mouth, the cassava was quickly taken away by Qingfeng in the next second.

   Almost died, Lin Yue thought that he hadn't married Qingfeng yet, so his eyes didn't move.

   Qingfeng comforted him with his eyes and warned him not to be greedy in the future.

   Lin Yue nodded aggrievedly, he just saw that this thing was similar to sweet potatoes, how did he know it would be poisonous.

   Fortunately, his daughter-in-law saved his life.

  It is nice to have a daughter-in-law.

  Love your daughter-in-law for ten thousand years without changing!

  Chu Tianbao instructed: "Inform Lord You, don't let anyone eat it."

"Yes!"

   Aunt Yang looked at the cassava on the ground, but unfortunately said: "I can't eat it, hey~ If only I could eat it."

Lu Yedao: "When we first came, we ran out of food and grass, and many brothers ate a few pieces of cassava. They were fine when they first ate, but after a while, many people died of convulsions. Most of the brothers who survived were paralyzed in their lower limbs. "

   Aunt Yang asked, "Can I eat it if it's cooked?"

   They are all farmers and know that some food can be eaten as long as it is cooked.

   Just like mushrooms, eating raw can kill people.

Lu Ye lowered his eyes, "We cooked it, but unfortunately it didn't work. Everyone still had severe diarrhea, dizziness, and weakness in the limbs. Later, we learned from the local population that this plant is called cassava, and it will be refined by them into Venom is made into poison darts."

Although   cassava is poisonous, the toxicity can be removed.

   As long as the inner skin is peeled off, soaked in water and boiled for a long time, boiled for the first time, then change the water and boil for the second time, open the lid of the pot when cooking, so that the toxicity evaporates, and the soup is ready to eat.

  If the cassava is cooked with the skin on, and the lid is always covered, the toxicity inside has not evaporated, and even if it is cooked, there will be residual toxicity.

  White Sycamore glanced at the place where the cassava was dug. Under a cassava vine, there were more than a dozen baby-sized cassava growing together.

  The local people don't know about such a high-yield food.

   Bai Wutong asked Lu Ye, "What is the staple food of the local people?"

  Lu Yedao: "The local people mainly eat rice made from a kind of sap from the tree, but the yield is not high. The local people also regard this tree as a treasure. As long as we get half a step closer, they will shoot us with poison darts."

   When I heard the rice made from the sap from the tree, I thought of sago, which is made of starch extracted from palm plants and processed into the shape of small pearls.

   There is also a kind of sago which is made from tapioca flour, wheat starch, and corn flour.

   There are so many tapioca here, they can also be made into sago.

  Sago is still a famous dessert.

   Bai Wutong suddenly smiled mysteriously: "They won't let us approach, and they will beg us to approach in the future."

   When everyone was at a loss, Bai Wutong asked Village Chief Zhao to bring her some cassava, and then asked the cook to support the cauldron.

  Lu Ye saw that she didn't give up and wanted to try cassava, and said excitedly, "Madam, I really can't eat it!"

   Bai Wutong smiled disapprovingly, "I've seen this kind of thing in a book, cassava can be eaten, but what you did before was wrong."

  Lu Ye hurriedly shook his head, "We've tried both raw and boiled."

  Bai Wutong pointed at the large pot that made people stand in place and said, "Did you just cook it in the pot without peeling it?"

  Lu Ye thought back for a moment, and nodded stunnedly.

Bai Wutong confirmed: "The book says that the cassava can only be cooked after peeling off the skin, because the outer skin is the most toxic. When cooking, you need to change the water and cook it twice, and finally drain the water before you can eat it. If you drink the water in which the soup is boiled, or if it is not peeled or cooked, it will be poisoned."

   Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and Lu Ye had huge doubts in his mind, "Is it really possible?"

   Bai Wutong smiled, "Well, that's what the book says, and the lid can't be covered for cooking, and the poison won't evaporate, which will also cause diarrhea."

   Aunt Yang sighed, "This thing is too particular. If I forget it one day, I will kill myself."

  Bai Wutong nodded, "So you have to be careful when cooking cassava, but it has a high yield and can be made into cassava flour. We can take it out and use it at any time, so it's not so laborious."

   Aunt Yang asked again, "Do I have to cook it to make tapioca flour?"

   To make sweet potato powder, they only need to grind the sweet potato into slag, add water, filter out the powder, and dry it before use.

   Bai Wutong smiled: "The book says that after the cassava flour has been peeled, washed, sieved, washed, separated, dehydrated and dried, the toxicity in the cassava has been completely separated, and you can use it with peace of mind."

   Aunt Yang looked excited, "If it's true, as Madam said, if cassava can be eaten, we will dig up the cassava here, and we won't worry about the lack of food recently."

  Because this thing is poisonous, no one has ever excavated the large swathes of cassava around here.

  Chu Tianbao glanced at the green cassava plant and clenched the hand of the white phoenix tree.

   He knew that what Bai Wutong said must be true, and that cassava can definitely be eaten.

  Bai Wutong winked at Chu Tianbao, "However, this is what the book says, let's try cooking some cassava first."

   Everyone still trusts Bai Wutong’s ability. Bai Wutong wants to cook cassava, and many people in Youjia Village also learned from Bai Wutong to dig some cassava and prepare to learn how to eat cassava.

   This is likely to be their ration for some time to come.
