Chapter 10 010. A big konjac head

After following the barefoot doctor around in the mountains, the two of them picked dandelions, cockleburs, nightshades and other medicinal materials. These were grown by the barefoot doctor and were easier to pick.

The barefoot doctor asked with some doubts, "Shen Ruoxi, you seem to know a lot of medicinal materials. How do you know these?"

Shen Ruoxi said calmly, "When I went to the county town to play, I met an old woman selling medicine. She told me all this."

The barefoot doctor pondered for a moment, "Is this person from the village where the medicinal materials are grown and sold?"

Shen Ruoxi recalled that there seemed to be a village nearby that grew medicinal herbs, so she nodded and said, "Yes, it's from that village."

The barefoot doctor didn't ask any more questions. Shen Ruoxi was either causing trouble to the village or wandering around all day long. It was normal to know that, "If we keep walking, we will go down the mountain."

"Yeah." Shen Ruoxi was secretly worried. After walking in such a long circle, there was nothing to eat.

Perhaps the whole world felt that Shen Ruoxi was so pitiful. After walking a few steps, she saw a large konjac tree in a mountain col.

Shen Ruoxi was excited. One konjac head can make a big pot of konjac tofu. There is no need to go hungry tonight. "Grandpa, please wait a while, I will dig up the konjac."

They went down the mountain, and the sun also went down.

One hoe, two hoe, three hoe... It took a lot of effort to dig out the konjac.

The barefoot doctor looked confused, but in order not to appear ignorant, he didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Ruoxi secretly thought that her vicious image might not be able to be reversed in a few days, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will abandon evil and promote good in the future, and I will never do bad things again, so don't worry."

After Shen Ruoxi cleaned up the weeds, she dug out the small buds of the konjac nearby and put them in a basket. She took them back and planted them in front of her house. Then she cut off the leaves of the big konjac and started digging deeper.

Shen Ruoxi put down her backpack and went over with a small hoe to clean up the weeds nearby, "It's not tofu, it's konjac that can be made into tofu so that it can be eaten."

Sighing secretly in his heart, the barefoot doctor took Shen Ruoxi down the mountain.

Shen Ruoxi cleaned the mud off the konjac head and looked at it with joy. The konjac was so big that it weighed two or three kilograms. The ration for tonight was stable.

The barefoot doctor was dubious, but there was nothing he could do except believe. Shen Ruoxi was not his granddaughter, and he couldn't control it even if he wanted to.

Shen Ruoxi said as she ran, "Konjac is not eaten directly, but made into konjac tofu."

When the barefoot doctor saw this, he shouted anxiously, "That one is poisonous. After eating it, your tongue will become stiff and you will lose consciousness. You cannot eat it."

Barefoot Doctor, "???"

Before she finished speaking, she rushed towards the konnyaku. This was her ration tonight. Whether she would starve or not depended on it.

The barefoot doctor said worriedly, "No one has ever eaten this thing. Are you sure you can eat it? You won't take it back to make fun of people, right?"

She put the konjac into her backpack and said, "Grandpa, let's go."

He kept up with Shen Ruoxi, "Can konjac be made into tofu?"

Shen Ruoxi put the small backpack at the barefoot doctor's house and went home with the konjac and konjac sprouts in her arms.

The children playing on the path in the village immediately dispersed when they saw Shen Ruoxi, not daring to stay for fear that Shen Ruoxi would come over and kick them.

Shen Ruoxi ignored them and trotted along.

When I got home, it was quiet. Except for the original owner's parents, no one else was there. It was spring plowing time, and they should have gone outside to farm.
