Chapter 9: Potatoes

The little white flower was smashed by the rain, and the green stems were covered with muddy water, Ling Fei's eyes lit up, and she didn't care about being dirty, so she bent down and began to dig the soil.

After digging more than ten centimeters, his fingers touched something hard, Ling Fei was more sure of the conjecture in his heart, and dug down even harder, and soon, a pale yellow skin was revealed in the black soil.

"Ling Fei, what are you doing?" Ling Ya inadvertently turned around, and saw her half-lying on the ground digging soil, and a small pile of soil had been piled up next to her.

Putting down the straw basket, Ling Ya walked over and saw her digging out a yellow lump of dirt from the soil, and leaned over, "Is this also a herb?" It's so strange, it grows beneath the ground. ”

The thing dug out was three times the size of an adult's fist, about 3 or 4 catties, and it was the first time for Ling Fei to see such a big one, so she carefully scraped the epidermis with her fingernails, ignoring the soil in her hand, wiped a handful and put it in her mouth, and was immediately ecstatic.

"Sister, this is not herbs, this is food, this is called potatoes, it is very delicious." Compared to tasteless barbecue, potatoes are more attractive.

I didn't expect to find potatoes here, let alone that potatoes could be so big, Ling Fei was so happy that she was crazy, "Quick, quick, sister, let's dig together." ”

Ling Ya had never seen a fruit growing in the ground, let alone eaten it, but Ling Fei said that if she could eat it, she could eat it, and she became excited, such a large piece could be eaten several times by the two of them.

With Ling Ya's joining, the work of digging potatoes was instantly much faster, looking at the fruits that were dragged out one by one, Ling Ya's eyes were straight, so many fruits could be produced under such a little finger-thick rhizome, and each one was so big, Ling Ya was so excited that she almost cried, this was the first time she felt that maybe she would not be starved to death this winter.

Ling Fei was also quite surprised, a potato seedling can harvest more than ten potatoes, potatoes can be saved, if you find more, then the sisters don't have to worry about this winter.

It's a pity that the potatoes in the woods are not like herbs one by one, there are more than ten sporadic trees, even so, the two of them are quite content, dig one and almost fill the grass basket, and collect all of these, the two of them can harvest three or four hundred catties, the clan does not require these things to be distributed equally, save a little food, and you can live this winter.

This trip can be said to be very fruitful, and the two of them hurriedly transported their things back to the cave, and only when they put them away can they rest assured.

By the time they moved the potatoes to the cave, it was already dark.

Ling Ya has a lot of strength and a good physique, she takes more than Ling Fei every time, her eyes are burning and she looks at the small mountain of potatoes next to the bed, she doesn't look tired at all, she eats too much, the more the better.

Ling Fei couldn't do it, she was lying on the animal skin like a shelf, but her heart was a lot more steady, she really had food in her hands, she didn't panic in her heart, she didn't want to experience the cold hunger feeling in her memory anymore.

The appearance of such a large number of things quickly attracted the attention of the other people in the cave, who watched from a distance, wondering why they had brought these lumps back. Because she was in a hurry, Ling Fei didn't deal with it properly, the outside of the potatoes was full of black soil, and it didn't look like the lumps of dirt that could be seen everywhere outside.

A few people who were familiar with Ling Ya came over and looked at the pile of things curiously, "Ling Ya, what is this?" ”

Ling Ya had never eaten this thing called a potato, but she now had a blind belief in Ling Fei, and she definitely had to answer: "Eat, this is what Ling Fei dug out of the soil, called a potato." ”

Those few people all showed expressions of disbelief, if they could eat lumps, then why did they risk going out to hunt, I didn't believe it even more when I heard her mention Ling Fei, just such a person who hides in a cave every day, can still find food?

Someone began to persuade, "Ling Ya, don't make trouble with Ling Fei, the snow is coming soon, you might as well pick more red fruits and save them・・・・・・"

Some people also accused Ling Fei, Ling Ya finally didn't go hunting one day, and she tossed these useless things, and her tone was very worthless for Ling Ya, raising such a person who only eats and doesn't work and tosses, it really drags her down.

Listening to their gossip, Ling Fei was not annoyed, these people did not hate her like Ah Qiu and Green Card, but they cherished Ling Ya, and what they said was also the truth, Ling Fei in the past was indeed a person who did not go out of the cave and did not distinguish between grains and grains.

Rao is usually on good terms, seeing a few of them say this about Ling Fei, Ling Ya was also a little unhappy, and was about to open her mouth to argue, but was stopped by Ling Fei.

Ling Fei smiled with crooked eyebrows, sat up, cleared his throat and said, "Don't believe it, this is a good thing, you have a good mouth today, I just want to bake potatoes." ”

Under the bewildered gaze of the crowd, he pulled a pile of ash from the burning fire next to him, and used a wooden stick to get a few smaller potatoes into the ashes. Fortunately, because the cave burned for a day on a cloudy day, otherwise there would not be so much ash to cover the potatoes.

There are many ways to eat potatoes, among which baked potatoes are the easiest, roasted potatoes with the remaining heat of the ash, and they will not be burned, which is often made by children in the mountains, and Ling Fei is even more proficient.

Those people originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that her serious appearance was not like a joke, and she had seen the grass basket, the prejudice against Ling Fei in her heart had almost disappeared, and she hadn't spoken to Ling Ya for a long time, so she simply sat on the animal skin and started chatting.

Some of these people have family members who have gone to change salt, and now they can't wait for anyone to come back, everyone is anxious, and now it's less worrying to sit together and say a few words.

Ling Fei was guarding a pile of sparkling ashes in a daze, and suddenly there was a pair of ** feet in his sight, and he heard a familiar mocking voice above his head: "I think you are dying of hunger, you actually roasted gnocchi." ”

Ling Fei looked up and saw the green card's triumphant expression as disgusting as eating a fly, "What I like to eat is my business, dogs are nosy when they catch mice, Ba Po!" ”

The green card didn't understand her words, and it wasn't a good thing to think about, so she sneered: "You're hungry and dizzy, or you beg me, and I'll give you a piece of meat if you beg me." ”

Idiot girl, Ling Fei rolled her eyes, turned her eyes to the ground, and ignored her no more.

Hearing her sarcastically mock Ling Fei, Ling Ya was so angry that she wanted to stand up, but was pulled by a woman next to her, and the woman quietly leaned into her ear, "Don't be angry・・・・・・

Seeing Ling Fei treating her as air, the green card stomped to the side of the bed, and looked at Ling Ya condescendingly, "Is it interesting for you to dominate Brother Qinghu?" You don't deserve him at all, and you just hold on to him when you grow up together, it's really shameless. ”

The green card is proud of her beauty, she has always looked high in the clan, she doesn't look down on those men who stammer her, and she loves Qinghu who revolves around Ling Ya every day, but no matter how close she gets to Qinghu, that person only has Ling Ya in his eyes, and never looks at herself again. The green card's temper also came up, pestering Qinghu every day, sarcastically mocking Ling Ya from time to time, and Qinghu couldn't wait to stay away from her, so he took the task of changing salt. xh118
