Chapter 126 Discovering the Foot Potato
Bai Yunxi held a sickle and urged her to leave. No matter how strong she was, she was exhausted carrying 100 to 180 kilograms of things.
Seeing Li's back disappearing in the mountain path, Bai Yunxi stopped, sighed, and patted her chest.
"This useless body, I have to exercise well in the future."
Growing up in a farm family, you can only live a vigorous life. It's not nice to be sick.
Bai Yunxi sat on a stone and looked at the slightly yellowed forest. The scenery in autumn is really good, and there is a harvest everywhere.
Looking at the scenery in the distance, she rested for a long time before she caught her breath.
This body is too weak, she decided to start exercising from tonight, and practice the Eight Vajra Kung Fu.
Bai Yunxi held the sickle and unconsciously crossed a cluster of vines next to her. With a click, she cut off a few vines, revealing a bumpy ground.
Looking at the land she had scratched, there was a section of rhizome exposed, and some white juice flowed out from the place where the sickle had scratched.
Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the vines again, the heart-shaped leaves the size of the palm of her hand, broke off that section of rhizome, smelled it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She actually encountered wild yam.
Isn't this a coincidence?
She took a break and saw edible wild yam. This thing is not only delicious, but also a Chinese medicinal material, a good thing for strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach.
Bai Yunxi took the sickle, cut off all the vines covering it, and started digging along the yam that had just been cut off.
Wild yam grows twisted and crooked, without any rules.
Where the soil is soft, it grows thicker, where the soil is hard, it grows thinner, and some are like being flattened, looking like a foot.
This kind of wild yam is also called foot-shaped sweet potato. The flesh is red or white. What she encountered today was the white foot-shaped sweet potato.
As long as you dig along a vein, you can meet other companions.
But she didn't control her strength, and she broke a lot of long and short pieces.
Anyway, she made soup at home, so the appearance is not important.
Since she came here, Bai Yunxi has been most concerned about food. As long as she can eat, she will be particularly excited.
There is no way. In this day and age, if you don't have food, you will really starve to death.
Unconsciously, she didn't care when the sun was setting, and she kept fighting with this piece of wild yam.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
Li was carrying an empty basket, followed by Bai Anyan. The two hurried over and saw the old woman lying on the side of the slope, grunting and digging something.
"You are here, hurry up and put these wild yams in the basket."
Bai Yunxi wiped her face and pointed to the scattered yams next to her. It was a full pile, estimated to be 20 to 30 kilograms.
"Mom is lucky to have found wild yams. This is a good thing. It is more nutritious than sweet potatoes. You can come and dig them together. If you can't eat them all, you can dry them and sell them at the pharmacy."
Bai Anyan was relieved to see that his mother was fine. Then he noticed the pieces next to him. Isn't this the foot sweet potato?
"Mom, you can't touch this thing. It's poisonous, especially the mucus. If you touch it, you will itch all over and get red bumps."
This kind of thing is not uncommon, but most people don't touch it. It's poisonous.
Listening to the second child's reminder, Bai Yunxi glanced at the back of her hand. It was indeed red and itchy.
"It's okay. It's a small matter. It's just a slight allergy. It will be gone in a few days."
Bai Yunxi wiped her hands casually, pointed at the wild yams she dug out, and spoke nonchalantly.
