Under the roots of the tree, there are a lot of roots that look like sweet potatoes.
The largest one was as thick as a forearm and weighed several pounds.
This kind of thing is called cassava, which is more common in tropical areas, especially in Africa, where it is the main production area.
It is very popular due to its simple planting and high survival rate.
Many local people regard cassava as their staple food, but the taste is actually very average.
Moreover, this thing is poisonous if not handled well, the kind of poison that can kill people.
However, this thing is very rich in starch and is called the king of starch. It is also a good thing for Lu Wei and others who do not have staple food.
There are several cassava plants here, which Lu Wei discovered the last time he came here.
There was no shortage of food at home, so he had not been in a hurry and planned to keep it as backup food.
Later, when I found out it was going to rain, I wanted to come over and take it back for storage, but unfortunately I never had time to dig it out.
I happened to be on the way today, so I decided to dig back.
Lu Wei shook the soil above. This large cassava plant weighed at least twenty or thirty kilograms.
There are 4 plants in total, which add up to almost 100 kilograms. He did not touch the remaining small ones and let them wait for a while.
Lu Wei has finished digging cassava, and Bai Xiaolu and the others have finished cutting leeks.
Seeing Lu Wei pulling back a pile of cassava, he asked curiously: “Brother Lu Wei, what did you get?”
“It’s a bit like sweet potatoes.” Peng Peng looked at it and said.
“Also like sweet potatoes.”
Lu Wei was speechless: “You two are talking about the same thing. This is called cassava. You can think of it as a poisonous sweet potato.”
“Ah? Why is it poisonous again?” Bai Xiaolu looked at Lu Wei speechlessly and asked.
Lu Wei shrugged: “That’s why I forbid you from touching and eating. There are many poisonous things in the wild, so you must be careful.”
“Then can’t you get something that’s not poisonous? You can’t eat this either. Why are you getting it?” Bai Xiaolu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Lu Wei smiled and explained: “Some of them are good to eat. You picked them. Don’t worry, they won’t be poisonous after this treatment. Let’s go home.”
In fact, the cassava grown now has been improved and has very little toxicity. It can be eaten as long as it is cooked.
But the kind Lu Wei dug was wild and had to be soaked before it could be eaten.
In this way, the three of them each carried a backpack, and Lu Wei also carried four cassava plants, speeding up and walking towards the shelter.
Originally, Lu Wei wanted to help Bai Xiaolu carry it, but when Bai Xiaolu saw Lu Wei holding so much cassava, she refused to let him help.
Pengpeng wanted to help Lu Wei share some of the burden, but Lu Wei refused.
With his stamina, it would be no problem to insist on returning to the shelter with these items in hand.
If the weather is heavy, I will probably fall down from exhaustion when I go back, so there is no need.
In this way, Lu Wei walked ahead with a basket full of cashew nuts and herbs on his back and hundreds of kilograms of cassava in his hand.
The weight of this body is about 150 kilograms. Walking on such a mountain road, if his body was not full, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.
Pengpeng, on the other hand, was carrying a basket of cashew pears, weighing about 40 kilograms, and 3 chickens in his hands.
Bai Xiaolu was carrying a small backpack, which weighed 30 kilograms, and was holding a bow, eggs, and leeks.
3 people, it can be said that they returned home with a full load.
When the three of them returned to the shelter, it was already afternoon. Bai Xiaolu, who was tired and hungry, was immediately excited when she saw the shelter.
“Someone, come and help.” His voice was hoarse due to thirst.
At this time, it was the hottest time of the day. Wu Jing and the others had just finished collecting stones according to Lu Wei’s request, and were preparing to go to the sea soon.
Hearing Bai Xiaolu’s hoarse voice, everyone thought something had happened and hurriedly ran out of the shelter.
When Bai Xiaolu and Peng Peng saw everyone, they immediately felt relieved and couldn’t walk anymore, so they sat directly on the ground.
Lu Wei looked at it and shook his head. With his physique, he still wanted to go into the mountains with me, which was too far.
Yang Xiaohu, who came out of the shelter, saw Lu Wei coming back and ran over quickly.
Seeing Lu Wei taking so many things, his face was red from the sun and covered with sweat, and he suddenly felt angry and painful.
I’m angry that this fool doesn’t know how to take care of himself and brings back so many things at once.
I felt sorry that he was so tired that he was sweating and didn’t know how to take a rest.
Yang Xiaohu kept walking. After running to Lu Wei, without saying a word, he went to take the cassava from his hand.
Seeing this, Lu Wei hurriedly said: “No, this is very heavy, you can’t lift it.”
Yang Xiaohu saw that there were so many cassava on the cassava pole, and knew that the weight was not light.
“It’s okay, let me get you two.”
Lu Wei blinked at her and whispered: “You are stupid, there are so many people, let them help me carry it, you go get the lighter one.”
Seeing Lu Wei favoring him so much, Yang Xiaohu felt as sweet as honey.
Her big eyes were full of sweetness as she looked at Lu Wei and asked, “Then what should I get for you?”
“The ones I have here are very heavy. Leave them to the man. You go get the eggs and leeks in Bai Xiaolu’s hand.”
When Yang Xiaohu heard that there were eggs, his eyes widened in surprise: “Eggs? Where did you get the eggs?”
At this time, Wu Jing, who was following behind, also rushed over. After hearing what Yang Xiaohu said, he was also surprised and asked: “What eggs? Where are the eggs?”
