“It looks like it will work.” Madam Hu was very confident and her heart was filled with joy. If it could really be turned into food, it would be a life-saving thing for the poorer families.

“Alright, stop praising me. Let’s go. Let’s get it out and dry it.”

“Yes, Madam.’

Zhang Shu followed by setting up tools at the side. Together with Madam Hu, they put the Kudzu root powder on the sieve to dry.

Ye Muyu took some and placed them in the kitchen. She planned to dry them over the fire to see the finished product.

At the same time, she took out a pot of Kudzu root powder and planned to make Kudzu root mixed with cucumber shreds for lunch.

Madam Hu followed him in to help light the fire. ‘Madam, do you want to eat the Kudzu root powder for lunch?”

“Yes, let’s make a cold dish first.” Ye Muyu nodded and asked Madam Hu to start the fire. When the water boiled, she scooped out the water and let it cool for a while before pouring it into the bowl and stirring it slowly.

The fire in the stove had not been extinguished. Madam Hu looked at the fire and was drying the root of the vine.

Because there was not much to dry this time, it was done in less than an hour.

“Madam, the Kuzu root powder is done drying. It looks pretty good. Should we put it away now?” Madam Hu stood up and asked respectfully. At the same time, she walked to Ye Muyu’s side and saw that she had already made a transparent food that looked like bean jelly in front of her.

“Madam, is this how you eat the Kudzu Root Powder? It’s truly amazing.” After that, she said, “Madam, I’ll cut it for you. Be careful with your hands.”

“No need. Take this dried Kudzu root powder and bring it to Doctor Lu. Ask him if there are any conditions where one can’t eat the Kudzu root powder. Take this Kudzu root powder as a thank-you gift for him,” Ye Muyu ordered.

Although Doctor Lu wanted to go home, he needed to find a mule cart team to help send the medicinal herbs back. Moreover, the land here had not been dealt with yet.

He had just returned from the capital city two days ago, so he would not be staying for long.

“Yes, Madam.” Madam Hu took the powder and went out to look for Doctor Lu.

Ye Muyu made a mixture of cucumber shreds and Kudzu root powder.

She naturally knew that people with cold bodies could not eat much of the Kudzu root powder. She was the one with a cold body, so she did not eat much at noon.

“Mother, why aren’t you eating?” Chu Jin hugged his bowl and started eating, not forgetting to show concern for Ye Muyu.

Brother,” Chu Ziluo quickly said, “Mother is not in good health. She can’t eat this. People with a cold body can’t eat it.”

She remembered her mother’s reminder that people with cold bodies should not eat it.

In this way, the news would spread to the villagers, so that they would remember this point.

When Chu Jin heard this, he quickly placed the dish of cucumber shreds mixed with Kudzu root powder in front of him and Chu Ziluo. “Mother, don’t be gluttonous. Sister and I will finish it quickly.”

“That’s right. You won’t crave it if you don’t look at it.” Chu Ziluo was reminded and ate faster.

Ye Muyu felt the filial piety of the two children and her heart softened. She reached out her chopsticks and picked up some food for them. “Eat slowly.

Mother is not hungry.”

“Mother, you’re so nice,” Chu Ziluo said coquettishly.

“Child, you can go to school after the lunch break. Don’t tire yourself out,” Ye Muyu said gently.

Chu Ziluo shook her head. “No, Mother. You don’t know, but Cousin and the others are all very good, especially Sister Qingxiang. She’s the best in all four female arts.”

“I’m only good at cooking. I’m not good at the other three, especially tea art and paper-cutting.” Chu Ziluo felt a little discouraged as she spoke. She could not help but glance at Ye Muyu.. “Mother, if I don’t get a good ranking, will you be angry?
