Chapter 906: 888. Wash Kudzu Root Powder

Processing kudzu root powder is indeed quite laborious from the perspective of hardship. But if we’re talking about the degree of precision...

There’s absolutely none of that!

Just do it with big, bold movements! There’s not a bit of technique involved, it’s all basic operations.

For example, when Zhang Wang’s Family scooped out the smashed pulp from the stone mortar, still fibrous and dripping with juice, the process was outright rough.

After scooping it out, comes the crucial step of "washing".

For most powdered substances, they can hardly escape this verb. It may sound hard to grasp, but anyone can do it, even a three-year-old.

Just put them into a big basin or a tub, pour clean water in, and then go to town rubbing and kneading with your hands, vigorously scrubbing...

That’s all there is to it.

The water that’s washed out is white and thick in color, layered with the palpable feel of starch.

At this point, all you need to do is scoop out the nearly clean pulp, wring out the moisture, set it aside, and then cover the basin of wash water and let it sit still overnight or for a few days.

As for the aggregated pulp, it can be used to make fertilizer or washed again with clean water, to ensure there is no waste...

These actions are time-consuming and exhausting, but really not difficult at all. Qiaoqiao watched the whole process and now that it’s almost lunchtime, he couldn’t bear to leave, just gazing longingly at the two cameramen:

"Can I give it a try in the afternoon?"

"Of course, of course!" the cameraman gestured grandly: "We’ve got enough footage for today! The rest are just supplements or not yet timely, go ahead and do as you please!"

Qiaoqiao cheered, and at this moment finally remembered the brand new Secretary Xiaozu live-streaming room that had once again been neglected:

"Kids, this is how you wash kudzu root powder, did everyone learn it?"

After a whole morning of prattling, although his practical experience still needs some improvement, his theoretical knowledge is already quite rich. At this moment he even expanded on the next lesson’s knowledge:

"By tomorrow, the washing water will have sedimented to form layers. Then you just pour off the water on top, scoop out the damp kudzu root powder from below, dry it, and voilà, it’s our dry kudzu root powder!"

"Kids, I’m going back for lunch now, don’t forget to preview and review!"

The live chat comments are numb.

[Just asking, among those present, whose family owns land, and which of those lands have kudzu roots to preview and review with?]

[The host should announce what he plans to plant next year in advance, so I can prepare the class props in Taotao Treasure.]

[My family does have land... but farming won’t fill our stomachs. Still have to be a working stiff.]

The live-streaming room named [Tian Yuan Notes], belonging to Qiaoqiao, had already signed off, whereas the [Secretary Xiaozu] live-streaming room, after this one-hour broadcast, probably due to its pace similar to Qiaoqiao’s, had its follower count stabilize at 210,000...

Zhang Yanping had predicted this, but even so, she was taken aback by Qiaoqiao’s ability to attract an audience.

You have to know that they only started streaming at 10 a.m., and now at just past 12 p.m., which is exactly the off-peak time for live streaming.

To achieve such a following in just this short time period... Internet star Qiaoqiao lives up to the hype!

...

The family was waiting for lunch at home, so Qiaoqiao rode on Daduo with Secretary Xiaozu, Zhang Yanping, and Xin Jun packed in the little basket, speeding home eagerly, fearing that the longer they wait, the less appetizing lunch would be.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Seventh Uncle beaming: "Qiaoqiao, come and try the fermented sweet potato stems you made!"

"Ah!" Qiaoqiao exclaimed with joy: "Is it ready already?"

He counted the days on his fingers and realized it had indeed been over half a month! He then hurriedly rushed to the kitchen: "Is it tasty? Is it tasty?"

"Delicious!" Aunt Lianhua was ever supportive, and at this moment she gave a thumbs-up:

"It’s really delicious, stir-fried with ground meat and chili peppers. You can smell that sour, spicy, and appetizing aroma from far away. Today I can eat two big bowls."

Wow!

This was the first time Qiaoqiao independently pickled vegetables, and he succeeded so quickly! At this moment, he was extremely delighted: "I’m so awesome!"

Seventh Uncle: ...

The child is great at everything, but his self-confidence is a bit too strong, not modest at all.

However, at this moment, he was also all smiles: "Right, you have talent, you are amazing—when winter comes, we’ll have to pickle cabbage and radishes. We’ll leave it to you then, can you handle it?"

The implication was that next time he won’t even give verbal guidance.

However, after learning from spring to autumn and winter, the essentials of pickling haven’t really changed. Qiaoqiao wasn’t daunted at all, on the contrary, he was full of anticipation:

"Sure! I will pickle several jars!"

The family originally had one of those big pottery jars for pickling, but now with more people eating at home, a few more jars were purchased this year. They were lined up against the wall together with the remaining two sauce jars. Qiaoqiao, holding a bowl, stepped out to look at them, filled with confidence.

However, the responsibilities of the hardworking Song Qiaoqiao clearly didn’t stop there.

Because Song Tan also came out with her bowl to look with him, and at the same time, she instructed: "It’s getting colder, have you checked the insulation for the beehives? When the flowers start to bloom in the greenhouse, you need to bring in a box of Bear Bees."

Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment: "Bear doesn’t like to move in winter... Why can’t we bring in honey bees?"

Song Tan smiled: "Because Bear Bees are fatter and have bigger rears, when they burrow into flowers, they can pollinate over a larger area and more efficiently than honey bees."

Moreover, one box of Bear Bees at home consists of just those few dozen that Bear birthed at the beginning of the year, much smaller than a box of honey bees, making it more convenient to carry around.

Qiaoqiao nodded and took another bite of the sour, spicy, and crispy pickled sweet potato stems: "It’s so tasty and goes so well with rice, sister, let’s plant more of it next year."

Next year...

Song Tan thought to herself that next year’s plans were really busy! Planting is for certain, but as for how exactly to plan and arrange everything, that will have to wait until the New Year to see how many people in the village are interested in staying.

Alas, the days of miraculous abundance are long gone!

Raising her hand, she rubbed the faint Spiritual Energy on her fingertips—so much better than when she first came back, but this too was the result of her nightly diligent cultivation!

Now, at least, she was able to gather Spiritual Energy in water, irrigate from the mountain spring all the way down without having to worry night after night.

Yet, to truly bless the village and subtly influence it... there was still a long road ahead!

Song Tan withdrew her hand and nodded: "Okay! Eat as much as you like. You pickled such a huge amount at first, filling up half the room—maybe deliver another ten or twenty jars to Boss Chang tomorrow?"

Let the future take care of itself, there is plenty of time for that.

Right now, it would be better to think about how to handle this New Year’s pork slaughtering feast, wouldn’t it?

And then there’s that lifesaver whose face she can’t even remember—should she invite him now, or wait until the pork slaughtering date is set?

Thinking of this, Song Tan also reminded Qiaoqiao: "Honey, Uncle Zhang previously mentioned that Kudzu Root residue can be kept for fermenting to feed pigs, cattle, and sheep... Did you bring any back? After we eat, let’s give our pigs an extra meal with it!"
