Chapter 492 That Should Not Be Her Responsibility
Xu Yuan was stunned by the question. In her impression, there were not many ways to cook yam.
Apart from cooking it into soup, the other methods may be frying or stir-frying, or the yam may be cooked and mashed into a paste, then mixed into dough to make yam cakes.
"That's not the same as potatoes."
When Uncle Wang heard Xu Yuan say this, he immediately thought of potatoes.
Xuyuan nodded: "Yes, that's correct."
……
As the sun set in the west, the sky had turned gray and a strong wind began to blow.
A heavy rainstorm arrived as expected.
The four siblings who made the wish hurriedly collected the dried vegetables and lotus roots that were drying in the yard.
Some of the lotus roots dug from the river were sent to Fumanlou. There were still some left, so Xuyuan cut them into slices and dried them. They can be preserved for a longer time. Furthermore, they can be ground into lotus root powder and dried.
Many people are looking forward to this lotus root powder. After all, this lotus root powder is not used for cooking like potato starch. The powder made from sweet potatoes also needs to be boiled like cooking, but this lotus root powder only needs to be boiled with hot water.
However, the output of lotus root powder is not high. If you need to produce it in large quantities, you must plant a large amount of lotus roots.
After Xuyuan and the others quickly cleaned up, half of everyone's back was wet.
"Sister, do you think it's raining where Brother Gu and the others are going?" Xuanyue changed out of his wet clothes, stood in the corridor and caught the raindrops falling from the eaves, and asked Xuyuan.
I made a wish towards the misty mountain and said, "Maybe."
-
In the woods far away from Hsinchu Village, a bonfire was lit, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Three or two people sat together and chatted.
"This weather is amazing! The temperature hasn't been this cool at this time of year in previous years."
"Don't you think about where we are going? We are heading north."
"Hey, I don't know how the children at home are doing?"
Gu Qinghan sat aside, listening to the uncles and aunts in the village chatting, looking up at the sky.
It has been seven days since they left Lin'an, traveling day and night, and tonight they can finally rest here until dawn.
Everyone had to bring their own food for the journey, and the officials would also distribute food, which were mostly cakes and steamed buns. If they wanted to eat something better, they had to cook for themselves, and the officials in charge would not stop them.
When everyone was resting, suddenly a group of people near the mountainside cried out in surprise, and many of them squatted on the ground, rolled up their trouser legs and scratched the wounds bitten by insects.
"Bugs, there are a lot of crawling insects here."
"Quick, spread some insect repellent around."
"Where are the torches? Bring them and drive them all away."
The crowd over there suddenly became chaotic.
Gu Qinghan looked at the chaotic crowd over there and saw that they were people from another village.
"How come there are so many bugs suddenly? So many people are here." Li Junyong, who was chewing a piece of bread, asked in confusion.
"Maybe they didn't sprinkle insect repellent powder around the area. This place is close to the mountain, so it's not surprising that there are many mosquitoes."
Liu Zhushan said, leaning against the tree trunk and closing his eyes to rest.
The chaotic state did not last long. Some people spread insecticide, some used torches to drive away insects, and finally all the insects that suddenly appeared were dispersed.
"Qinghan, look at the canes they hold in their hands. Do they look familiar? How come they have them in their village?"
Li Junyong suddenly came over, patted Gu Qinghan on the shoulder, pointed at the crowd that had just been in chaos, and said.
Gu Qinghan looked over and said, "It's the vine planted at the entrance of the village. I remember Ayuan said that she once saved a village. The situation in that village was exactly the same as that in Zhuangzhou City. The juice of that vine can prevent that kind of situation from happening."
This is not something that cannot be said. When they were about to leave the village, his father also instructed all the villagers who were leaving home to take the things with them. Of course, Ayuan's handiwork must have been involved here, but no one knew how Ayuan convinced his father. Although the villagers were puzzled, they still took the things with them.
"what?"
Li Junyong didn't expect such a thing to happen. Even though he was extremely shocked, he didn't make much noise considering the occasion.
"Is this true? She is so good at making wishes. Then she..."
"Don't even think about it. She's the only one here. Even if she's very capable, it's not her responsibility. She's already taking care of enough."
Even though Li Junyong did not finish his next words, Gu Qinghan still knew what Li Junyong had not said and refuted him out loud.
"You're right. I took it for granted."
Li Junyong also knew that he was taking it for granted. After all, no matter what, she was still a girl. A girl had to do everything. What did men like them have to do?
In this way, Zhuang Zhouzhou and Beicheng were not spared, but in Lin'an, the situation was well controlled and the number of casualties was not large. In addition, Xinzhu Village was not revealed to outsiders. Even his brother could not completely remember the location of the village, but once he got close, the route map of the village would appear in his mind in detail.
The strangeness of these things, if you think about it carefully, are related to the unusualness of Xu Yuan, so he absolutely does not believe that Xu Yuan has no hand in any of this. Qinghan is right, Xu Yuan has indeed done too much behind the scenes.
"Qinghan, sometimes I really envy you. You have such a good vision." Li Junyong said with emotion.
Gu Qinghan curled the corner of his mouth slightly but did not deny it.
He recalled what Ayuan had told him before they left. The town they were going to this time had spies who were responsible for this disaster. He was afraid that the town might become like Zhuangzhou City one day. All he had to do was to get to the town, find a safe place, and bury a talisman.
Gu Qinghan leaned against a tree trunk, his face reflected in the firelight was angular and his nose was high. After several days of traveling, he still did not look embarrassed. Thinking about things, he slowly closed his eyes, but did not fall into a deep sleep. Several people from their village were assigned to keep watch, and this time it was not his turn yet.
There were people from six villages in the group, and the people from each village were scattered in different places. Even if he didn't know the personalities of the people in each village, he would not easily be on guard.
The firelight flickered, and from time to time there were sounds of insects and frogs chirping in the woods.
It was not until midnight that Gu Qinghan suddenly felt a few raindrops falling on his face.
"It's raining! Everyone, wake up. Put on your raincoats quickly."
A few men shouted at the top of their lungs and quickly woke up the villagers who had fallen asleep beside them.
