Each person carried a kudzu root on his body, and the small one was put in a backpack. He and Sanwa carried it back, and the group returned home with a full load.

It happened that Mr. Nian had finished cooking. Everyone washed their hands and sat at the table to prepare for dinner.

Today's lunch was stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, fried shredded potatoes, spicy rolls, and two stir-fried wild vegetables. Everyone had been busy all morning, and now they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. They picked up their bowls and started to plan the rice. Eat vegetables.

"Nannan, what are you using for that tree stump you dug back? Did you dry it and burn it?"

"Of course it's not kudzu root. I'm going to grind it into powder."

"Miss, can you share some of that Kudzu root with me? I'll prepare it and prepare it. It might be useful in the future."

"Okay, you can choose later. Just take whatever you like. There are plenty of them in the mountains. I plan to dig them with Ono and the others for a few days and then grind them into powder for everyone to eat."

It took five days to dig this kudzu root.

Villagers came to help when they had nothing to do, and all the kudzu dug back was piled in the camp. The large and small kudzu roots took up little space in the open space in front of the camp.

Nian looked at the kudzu roots all over the yard and was extremely worried: "Nannan, what are you going to do with these tree stumps? Mom has no place to work in the yard..."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll get these kudzu roots out this afternoon."

Shen Nan planned to get out the kudzu root powder. Taking advantage of the good weather these days, it might be possible to dry it in a few days.

Weiba and the others were still digging kudzu outside. She planned to deal with the kudzu at home. Of course, she couldn't do it by herself, so she aimed at other people. No, it was easy to find a few helpers.

She first led others to fetch water and wash all the soil on the surface of the kudzu root. The washed kudzu root was placed in a bamboo dustpan.

Then he used a kitchen knife and a hatchet to peel off all the skins of the kudzu root. The skins contained a small amount of sand and were not very clean even if washed with water.

If you just mash it, the arrowroot powder that comes out will contain more sediment, so you usually peel off the skin before beating it, which makes it cleaner to eat.

Wei San and Xiaoye were very strong, so she asked Wei San to help her cut out all the kudzu roots, not with force, of course, but with a guillotine.

Everyone was already accustomed to her taking out weird things anytime and anywhere, but Song Hexuan narrowed his eyes when he looked at the guillotine under Wei San's hand.

He bought this guillotine at a high price in the mall. It was extremely sharp. Even though the old kudzu root was placed inside, it was cut into even thin slices.

Sanwa took charge and put all the kudzu chopped up with the guillotine into the dustpan.

To get this kudzu powder, the most critical step is to mash the kudzu root. This requires the next tool called a sandbag.

This sandbag is not a sandbag used for games, but a sandbag used to make rice.

People here call this tool a sandbag. The sandbag is made of a complete large stone. The stonemason slowly digs out the stone inside with a small chisel and hammer.

Then trim the bottom to form a rice pounding tool with a flat bottom and an oval appearance. This tool can not only be used to pound rice, but also wheat, millet and other grains. Now she will use it to pound kudzu.

For these kudzu powder, she prepared it several days in advance.

He and Ono found a stone of similar size in the mountains and pulled it back with an ox cart.

When there are people around during the day, Ono uses a small hammer to chisel rocks. Take out the stones inside.

A few days passed, and she estimated that time was almost up. She bought a high-quality sandbag from the space and replaced the previous big stone.

"Second sister, how did you do it? This sandbag is so beautiful?" Sanwa looked around the sandbag and praised it repeatedly.

"What's wrong, it's not that Ono's craftsmanship is so good, I haven't discovered that he has the talent to be a mason." Shen Nan felt ashamed.

Stonemason Ono:......

Throw all the kudzu slices into the sandbag, step on the pedal, and the wooden hammer will fall into the sandbag and pound the contents in the sandbag.

Just moving my feet is not tiring.

Crush all the kudzu root slices, put them into a large vat, soak them in water, and soak out the kudzu powder inside.

Clean the water tank, put a large basket on top, and put a piece of white cloth used to filter the bean paste. Several people worked together to pour the soaked kudzu water into it and filter it.

When the water is almost filtered, hang it on a wooden stake and hang it overnight to pull out the water inside.

After completing this set of procedures, less than half of the kudzu root was harvested, and a group of people were already so tired that they could not stand up straight.

"Second girl, this job is really not done by humans. It is much more tiring than me in the war." Not only the few people who made kudzu powder at home were overwhelmed, but also the people who dug kudzu outside were exhausted.

"Oh, if you wait a few more days for the kudzu powder to be made, you will definitely have nothing to say."

Most of the water used at home is tap water taken from the space, which is relatively clean. The villagers go to other places to carry water back, so it is incredible to see them wasting so much water every day.

The kudzu powder hadn't been dried yet, but the bad news was spread at the foot of the mountain.

"Master, there's a fire at the bottom of the mountain."

"What?" Song Hexuan, who was reading a book, suddenly stood up, and the book in his hand fell to the ground without even realizing it.

"This subordinate deserves to die. He didn't notice that there was a fire at the bottom of the mountain. Master, please punish me."

"That's all, go and check what's going on. Remember, don't let anyone get hurt."

After Song Hexuan finished his instructions, he immediately went to Wei Ci to discuss countermeasures.

The first lunar month has just come out, and spring is in full bloom.

The entire foot of the mountain was burned red by the soaring fire. After receiving the news, Shen Nan took out a few telescopes from the space and gave them to Xiao Ye and Wei Ci. He ran to a higher position to look over there.

Just turned on the telescope. Then he saw the light of fire reaching into the sky.

She naturally knew the influence of mountain fires. Although they were still some distance away from the foot of the mountain, the mountain fires could burn down the entire mountain range if they were not extinguished.

She remembered a piece of news in her previous life: the wildfires in Australia had not been extinguished for four months.

King Mountain is a mountain range, and the mountains stretch continuously. If the mountain fire really burns up, they will have no chance to escape. No matter where they escape, they will be swept away by the mountain fire.

The only way to survive is to go down the mountain, but there are barbarians at the foot of the mountain, so it is not safe anywhere.

The soaring fire dyed half of the sky red, and dark smoke floated into the sky, making it dark as if it was going to be dark.

Sanwa ran over with a telescope. He could see the information about such a huge fire without a telescope. There was panic on his face.

"Second sister, what should we do?"

"It's over. This mountain fire will not only burn this forest, but our village at the foot of the mountain may also be destroyed."

Originally, everyone was hoping to go down the mountain as soon as the disaster was over, but now all these hopes have been burned away by this mountain fire.
