Chapter 25 - 25 24 New Discoveries
?Chapter 25: Chapter 24 New Discoveries Chapter 25: Chapter 24 New Discoveries Ruo Zhou had been following closely behind Ruo Xuan, and when she stopped, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter, Xuanbao?”
The older brothers ahead heard and also stopped, “Sister, what’s wrong?”
“This Zizania is almost old, why has no one picked it to eat?” Ruo Xuan pointed to the plump, white portion on the stalk of the Zizania and asked.
Upon hearing this, Ruo Zhou explained, “These are wild Zizania grains infested with pests and diseases. They don’t produce ears and can’t grow Zizania grains, so they’re inedible.”
Ruo Xian and the others nodded in agreement, “Right, can’t eat them. We eat the Zizania grains, only pigs eat the Zizania shoots.”
Villagers would sometimes cut them to feed to pigs, but this area was marshland, where water was everywhere; many found it too troublesome and were afraid of wetting their clothes, so they seldom came to cut them.
Now that the weather had started to cool off, getting wet made it easy to catch a chill, and even fewer people would come to cut them.
Ruo Xuan shook her head, “No, that section of Zizania can be eaten. We don’t eat the shoots, only the white part, which is delicious.”
Ruo Hang was skeptical, “Huh? Isn’t this for pigs to eat? Can people eat it?”
It was Ruo Zhou who decided, “Then I’ll pick a few and take them home to try. Pigs also eat leftovers from humans, that proves it’s non-toxic.”
But he thought further; there was so much wild Geng Grass here, and other villages had it too. If it was edible…
That would be incredible!
Ruo Xian was the most supportive of his sister, “Great, if Xuanbao says it can be eaten, then it must be delicious! Let’s pick some to eat!”
Ruo Bo added, “Big brother makes a good point, why don’t we pick a few to take back? Since pigs can eat them, they should be non-toxic.”
Ruo Hang then nodded, “Let’s try them first; if they’re edible, we can tell Fourth Uncle and the others to come and pick them, to sell them in the city for silver.”
