Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket!

Cassava is poisonous, but at the same time, cassava is also one of the three major potato crops in modern times, the third largest food crop in tropical regions, and the sixth largest food crop in the world. It is known as the "king of starch".

Cassava has excellent characteristics such as rough growth, easy cultivation, high yield and four-season harvesting. It is extracted into starch and widely used in the market.

For example, before the end of the world, the pearls in the bubble tea that is popular all over the world are made of tapioca flour.

Another example is the snacks that girls like, such as taro balls, mochi, crystal glutinous rice balls, etc. Tapioca flour is indispensable.

In addition to making daily delicacies, cassava is also widely used as industrial raw materials such as feed, starch, glucose fuel ethanol and so on.

Bai Wutong picked up the cassava in Village Chief Zhao's hand and was about to speak when Lu Ye saw it and hurriedly said, "Madam, the cassava is poisonous, put it down quickly."

Before Bai Wutong could react, Chu Tianbao had already snatched the cassava from her hand, and threw the cassava to the ground.

"Snap" the cassava was broken into two sections, exposing the white flesh, which looked delicious.

Everyone heard Lu Ye yelling and surrounded him. Seeing the cassava broken into two knots on the ground, Wen Renhua stepped forward and tested it with a silver needle.

The moment the silver needle was pulled out, it turned black.

Bai Wutong's eyes widened in surprise, as if he was acting in a TV drama.

Wen Renhua said: "This thing is highly poisonous."

The rest of the people who wanted to be the first to try the cassava were so scared that they threw the cassava away.

Especially Lin Yue who had peeled off the cassava skin and opened his mouth. In the next second, the cassava was quickly snatched away by Qingfeng.

Almost dying, Lin Yue thought that he hadn't married Qingfeng yet, and both of his eyes froze in fear.

Qingfeng comforted him with his eyes, and warned him not to be greedy in the future.

Lin Yue nodded aggrievedly. He just thought that this stuff was similar to sweet potatoes, so he didn't know it would be poisonous.

Fortunately, his wife saved his life.

It's nice to have a daughter-in-law.

Love my daughter-in-law will not change for ten thousand years!

Chu Tianbao ordered: "Notify Master You, don't let anyone eat it."

"Yes!"

Aunt Yang looked at the cassava on the ground, regretfully said: "I can't eat it, hey~ It would be great if I could eat it."

Lu Ye said: "When we first came, the food and grass were exhausted. Many brothers ate a few knots of cassava. They were fine when they first ate. After a while, many people died of convulsions. Most of the brothers who survived by luck were paralyzed in their lower limbs. "

Aunt Yang asked, "Can I eat it if it is cooked?"

They are all farmers and know that there are certain foods that can be eaten as long as they are cooked.

Just like mushrooms, if you eat them raw, you will die.

Lu Ye lowered his eyes, "We cooked it, but unfortunately it was useless. Everyone still suffered from severe diarrhea, dizziness, and limb weakness. Later, we learned from the contemporary population that this plant is called cassava, and they will be refined into it. Venom made into poison darts."

Although cassava is poisonous, the toxicity can be removed.

Just peel off the inner skin first, soak in water and boil for a long time, cook for the first time, then change the water for the second time, open the lid during cooking to evaporate the toxicity, pour out the soup and then eat.

If the cassava is steamed with the skin on and the pot is covered all the time, the toxicity in it will not evaporate, even if it is cooked, there will be residual toxicity.

White sycamore looks at the place where cassava is dug, a cassava vine

Such a high-yield grain, the local people don't even know it.

Bai Wutong asked Lu Ye: "Then what is the staple food of the local people?"

Lu Yedao: "The local people mainly eat rice made from a kind of slurry on the tree, but the yield is not high. The local people also regard this tree as a treasure. As long as we get half a step closer, they will shoot us with poison darts."

When Bai Wutong heard the rice made from tree sap, he thought of sago, which is made of starch extracted from palm plants and shaped like small pearls after processing.

There is also a kind of sago made from cassava flour, wheat starch, and corn flour.

There is so much cassava here, they can also be made into sago.

Sago is still a very famous dessert.

Bai Wutong suddenly smiled mysteriously: "They won't let us approach, and they will beg us to approach in the future."

When everyone was confused, Bai Wutong asked Village Chief Zhao to bring her some cassava, and asked the cook to set up the cauldron.

Seeing that she was determined to try cassava, Lu Ye said excitedly, "Madam, I really can't eat it!"

Bai Wutong smiled disapprovingly, "I've seen this kind of thing in a book, cassava can be eaten, it's just that you did it wrong before."

Lu Ye shook his head hastily, "We've tried it both raw and boiled."

Bai Wutong pointed to the cauldron set up on the spot and said, "Did you cook it in the pot without peeling the skin?"

Lu Ye thought about it for a while, then nodded in a daze.

Bai Wutong confirmed: "It is said in the book that cassava can only be boiled after peeling off its skin, because the outer skin is the most toxic. When cooking, you have to change the water and cook it twice, and finally pour out the water before you can eat it. If you will If you drink the water used to make the soup, or if you don’t peel or cook the skin, you will be poisoned.”

Everyone was stunned for a while, and Lu Ye had great doubts in his mind, "Is it really possible?"

Bai Wutong smiled, "Well, that's what it says in the book, and the pot can't be covered to cook, the poison won't evaporate, it will also cause diarrhea."

Aunt Yang sighed, "This thing is too particular, if I forget it one day, I will kill myself."

Bai Wutong nodded, "So you have to be careful when cooking cassava. However, it has a high yield and can be made into cassava flour. We can take it out and use it at any time, so it doesn't take so much effort."

Aunt Yang asked again: "Then make cassava flour, do I have to cook it again?"

To make sweet potato powder, they only need to grind the sweet potato into slag, add water to filter out the powder and dry it in the sun.

Bai Wutong said with a smile: "The book says that after the cassava flour has been peeled, washed, sieved, washed, separated, dehydrated and dried, all the toxicity in the cassava has been separated, so you can use it with peace of mind."

Aunt Yang looked excited, "If it is true that the cassava is edible as Madam said, we will dig up the cassava here, and we won't have to worry about the lack of food recently."

Because this thing is poisonous, no one has dug up the large pieces of cassava near here.

Chu Tianbao glanced at the lush green cassava plants, and held Bai Wutong's hand tightly.

He knew that what Bai Wutong said must be true, cassava must be edible.

Bai Wutong blinked at Chu Tianbao, "However, this is what the book says, let's cook some cassava first."

Everyone still trusts Bai Wutong's ability. Bai Wutong wants to cook cassava. Many people in Youjia Village also followed Bai Wutong's example to dig some cassava, and planned to learn how to eat cassava.

This is likely to be their rations for some time to come.
