From Hongshi Village to here, it takes about a month on foot.
If they want to plant bitter yam, they can use the tubers to sprout, grow vines, and then plant the seedlings in the field, which would be much easier.
Bitter yam doesn't taste good, but at least it can stave off hunger.
If cut into slices, dried, and ground into powder, it might even be used to make cakes.

Ma Lin suddenly remembered something: liangpi.
Then he thought of some other things, fine flour, vermicelli; he wondered what they were made from.
Is there a way to produce them without using chemical agents?
Is bitter yam a suitable material?
His mind was full of questions.
There were still plenty of bitter yams in the fields, most of which had rotted.
