Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Chapter 10 Potatoes!Potato!



Wild Atractylodes is still shining on the grass, but Jiang Ling's mind is not on it at the moment.

She narrowed her eyes and began to carefully observe the grass in front of her. Finally, in the light spot, she found a plant with light purple flowers like Atractylodes macrocephala. The difference was that there was no light spot on this plant. .

Jiang Ling walked quickly to the plant, squatted down and started digging carefully with both hands, and soon the white rhizome was exposed to the air.

Jiang Ling stopped what he was doing immediately after seeing the rhizome.

Her eyes were full of disbelief. She patted her chest and took a deep breath. After trying to calm down, she stretched out her trembling hand and grabbed the leaves of the plant. With a little force, the white rhizomes and yellow The fruits appeared in front of her together.

"Yes!? These are potatoes??" Jiang Ling's eyes were full of joy. In a time of famine, Jiang Ling knew how important the potatoes in front of him were to Lujia Village.

Jiang Ling took the potato in his hand and hurriedly walked towards the depths of the mountain.

While walking, Jiang Ling stopped in her tracks. A large piece of land around her was covered with this small purple flower. Unlike the wild Atractylodes macrocephala, Jiang Ling didn't hear any system prompts this time, and Dots of starlight appearing above the plants.

Jiang Ling repeated the previous action, and as expected, four or five potatoes the size of ping-pong balls were pulled out by Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling, who found the potatoes, was in a very happy mood. Even on the way home, she began to hum a little song.

"Mom, why are you so happy?" Jiang Suhe asked, blinking at Jiang Ling.

"Suihe, Wenxi, Yaojie, let's go up the mountain!" Jiang Ling said to the three children with a big hand and a smile.

The three children looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Jiang Yaojie took the initiative to carry the back basket in the corner and pulled Jiang Suhe and Jiang Wenxi's hands to follow Jiang Ling.

"Brother, what's the matter, mother?" Jiang Wenxi, the youngest, looked at Jiang Yaojie in front of him in a daze and asked.

"This... I... I don't know, anyway, just be obedient!" Jiang Yaojie was actually full of doubts in his heart, he always felt that Jiang Ling in front of him was both familiar and strange.

After hearing Jiang Yaojie's answer, Jiang Wenxi was still full of doubts, but did not continue to ask.

Instead, Jiang Suhe kept staring at Jiang Ling's back, and couldn't help but think: "Mother has become so strange recently, but it doesn't matter if she can eat enough, after all, she is her own mother no matter what."

Jiang Ling took the child to the area where the potatoes were found before.

Jiang Ling squatted on the ground and began to teach the children how to dig potatoes. Although the three children were full of curiosity, they all followed suit sensibly.

"Mom, what is this thing? I've seen a lot of this kind of little purple flowers in the back mountain before, and I never thought that there would be such a thing growing under it.!" Jiang Suhe looked seriously at the newly dug and processed Potato asked.

"This is an edible thing, let's call it a potato!" Jiang Ling answered patiently while throwing the dug and processed potatoes into the basket.

"Potatoes?" Jiang Suhe narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the things in his hand.

"Eat?" Jiang Wenxi swallowed immediately after hearing this.

"Potatoes? Food?" Jiang Yaojie was secretly surprised.

Busy time always passes quickly, the sun sets, and soon the blue sky is coated with a layer of red color.

Looking at the already half-black sky, Jiang Ling hurriedly beckoned the children to leave the mountain together.

The three children are very capable. In less than half a day, they filled two baskets full of potatoes.

After returning home, Jiang Ling skillfully cleaned the potatoes, peeled them, and shredded them. After grabbing a handful of flour from the earthenware pot, he sprinkled it on the shredded potatoes, and then poured some water to mix them evenly.

After Jiang Ling poured a little oil into the pot, he carefully placed the mixed shredded potatoes in the pot.

The scent soon wafted out of the house, and the three children also began to swallow their saliva non-stop because of the scent, and the youngest, Jiang Wenxi, even started to wipe the corners of his mouth with his cuff.

"You're so hungry, come and try, mother's potato pancakes!" Jiang Ling just came out with a plate, when she saw Jiang Wenxi wiping the corners of her mouth, Jiang Ling couldn't help but smile dumbly, and quickly put the plate on the table.

"Mother... what is this? Why is it so fragrant?" Jiang Wenxi's entire face was almost attached to the plate, and she sniffed vigorously and turned to look at Jiang Ling and asked.

"Little greedy cat, this is potato pancakes. Eat them first. Mother, go to the village chief's house!" Jiang Ling said, picking up two potatoes from a corner and walking towards the door.

"Bang bang bang" three knocks on the door reached the ears of the village chief.The village chief, who was smoking dry tobacco, slowly stood up from his chair and walked towards the gate.

"Mr. Jiang? What are you doing here?" The village chief was obviously a little surprised when he saw Jiang Ling outside the door.

"Village head! I found food!" Jiang Ling said calmly, pointing to the potatoes in his hand.

"What? Mrs. Jiang can't talk nonsense!" The village head looked at Jiang Ling in surprise after hearing this.

"I found this thing in the mountains, and it's edible!" Said and Jiang Ling put the two potatoes in his hand on the village chief's hand.

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, the village head threw Hanyan on the ground, holding the two potatoes in both hands, and then slowly raised his eyes to observe carefully.

After a long while, I carefully put it under my nose and smelled it.

"Old man, you... Jiang Shi, why are you here?" The wife of the village chief who had been cooking in the house hurried out of the house after hearing the noise. When she saw Jiang Ling, she couldn't help frowning.

"I found something to eat on the mountain, so I'll inform the village chief," Jiang Ling said calmly.

"What?" Now it was the village chief's wife's turn to be surprised, and she was much more surprised than the village chief.

"My wife! What does Mrs. Jiang mean?" the village chief's wife asked in a low voice, tugging at the village chief's clothes.

"This...Mr. Jiang, did you find this thing on the back mountain?" The village chief ignored his wife's inquiry, but stared at Jiang Ling with fixed eyes and asked.

"Yes, there are many on the mountain, and there is a large area behind the mountain!"

"Nonsense! I've lived in Lujia Village for almost 40 years, why haven't I seen it before!" The village chief frowned when he heard Jiang Ling's words.

"Village chief, do you have any impression of those lavender flowers on the back mountain? These are the rhizomes under the purple flowers! If you don't believe me, let's go up the mountain right now, and I'll show you!" Jiang Ling looked helplessly The village chief explained.

"Jiang Shi! Do you know that this thing must not be joked about!"

Jiang Ling heard the village chief's voice-over, and she was not annoyed, she continued to explain patiently: "Village chief, if you don't believe me, you can follow me to the mountains. After I was driven out by Lu Youren, I was the village chief. Since you borrowed a house for me to stay in, how could I lie to you with such a matter of life and death?"

Looking at Jiang Ling's resolute eyes, the village head finally gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Ling: "Okay, then I will go to the mountain with you to have a look now!"
