Mu Qingqiu gently wiped the foam off his brother's face, and said distressedly: "But Xuan'er must remember that you should do everything within your ability, and you can't let yourself be hurt." Only by protecting yourself can you protect your sister, right? ”

Mu Qingxuan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but as soon as he heard about protecting his sister, his small body straightened, and his eyes nodded brightly: "Xuan'er can help my sister and protect my sister." ”

"Well, my sister believes in Xuan'er. But we can do it little by little, just like pulling weeds, starting with the small ones, little by little, and when we have enough strength, we can pull out the largest one. Mu Qingxuan said as he pointed to the grass of different sizes in the distance.

Seeing that Mu Qingqiu was happy, Mu Qingqiu couldn't help but nod his brother's little nose, and said with a smile: "When we have enough strength, we can even knock down a big tree!" "It's definitely just encouraging my brother, well, not big words!!

Mu Qingqiu has a lot of plans in her heart, in her previous life, she has experienced harsh training to the point of perversion, and her brother's strength has made her see a certain kind of morality, her own physical strength has to be exercised, and she also wants to teach her younger brother to learn kung fu.

The Longzhou Continent is now divided into four parts of the world, there has been no major war for two hundred years, and the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, who knows when there will be disputes again?

She doesn't want her younger brother to grow up to get involved in the power of the country and be involved in it, but in this era of human life, self-protection ability must be learned.

"Really, really, really?" Sure enough, when he heard that he could knock down the tree, Mu Qingxuan jumped up happily.

"Of course, nothing is impossible as long as you work hard." Mu Qingqiu said with a smile: "However, now that my sister is going to cook, Xuan'er has to fill her little belly first, and only when she grows strong can she have strength!" ”

The ingredients for lunch are freshly dug sweet potatoes, which are washed and cut into pieces, covered with a layer of flour, simmered in a pot, and stirred together to make sweet potato wheat rice. In addition, I also burned the egg drop soup, which was not the domestic eggs I bought yesterday, but the wild eggs I picked up from the mountains today.

Mu Qingqiu came back early, and the two sisters and brothers finished eating and cleaning up, and it was not yet time for lunch.

Estimating the time, he filled a big bowl full of sweet potato wheat rice that was still hot in the pot, took bundles of sweet potato leaves, took his younger brother's little hand, and went to Luo's house together.

Mu Qingqiu wanted to take a bath, but the broken barrels and basins at home were either small or broken, and they were not happy to wash, so he wanted to borrow them from the Luo family. And she also wants to see if the change of clothes in the bath is done, as far as the speed of Roche's tailoring, the sewing is definitely not slow, it is really a pair of magical hands, so envious.

Luo sent Lin Sanzheng to Mu Qingqiu's house to play with Mu Qingqiu in the morning, but he didn't know that Lin Sanzheng was not at Mu Qingqiu's house.

In fact, Lin San listened to the words, he went to find Mu Qingxuan first, and saw that Mu Qingqiu was not there, and he was a little lacking in interest, so he wanted to ask Mu Qingxuan to go out with him, but Mu Qingxuan didn't go, he wanted to pull weeds at home, Lin San was bored after staying for a while, so he ran to find his little friend by himself.

"Auntie!" Mu Qingqiu entered the door of Luo's house and shouted in the courtyard, only to see the curtain of the main house raised, and a kid came out first.

Lin Sanzheng saw the basket that Mu Qingqiu was carrying at a glance.

"Qiu'er." Luo Shi came out closely, and when he saw Mu Qingqiu and Mu Qingxuan coming over, he walked over with a kind face, and asked Mu Qingxuan with a smile: "Xuan'er, your third brother didn't bully you in the morning, right?" If he bullies you, tell your aunt that she will beat him. "Roche is most reluctant to beat children, whether it is a son or a daughter, but there is no perfunctory meaning when he says it.

Maybe Lin Sanzheng really dared to bully Mu Qingxuan, she would really dare to beat her son.

As soon as Mu Qingqiu heard this, he subconsciously looked at Lin Sanzheng, Lin Sanzheng stared at the eyes of the basket to dodge, and secretly raised his eyes to look over, and when he saw Mu Qingqiu looking at him, he immediately looked away, snorted in his nose, but his face began to turn red.

Seeing that Lin San was like this, what else did he not understand, and said in his heart that this kid didn't play with his brother at all, right? Mu Qingqiu didn't say anything, only took out the sweet potato and wheat rice in the basket and handed it to Luo: "Auntie, you must have never eaten this before, try it, it's delicious." ”

Luo looked at the high raised bowl of food, his throat was a little choked, this child asked her to say what is good, why does she not know how to take care of herself with some food, and send it to her family, why don't you protect the food!

"Auntie doesn't eat it, Qiu'er and Xuan'er do." When he said this, Roche's eyes turned red again.

Roche has indeed never seen sweet potato wheat rice, but she knows the flour inside, this is white flour!

In just three days, rabbit meat, meat buns, and now a big bowl full of white noodles to eat, she wants to take it again, she is ashamed and panicked, and she wants to take care of the two children, but these few days she has taken advantage of the cheapness, and the things that account for the two lonely and helpless children are simply not people.

If she wants to continue to take advantage of the child's things, then she is simply more hateful than those in the Mu family.

"Mother, mother~~" Lin Sanzheng didn't know what Mu Qingqiu was taking, but he looked so eager to eat, and when he heard Luo's refusal, he was anxious or something, and pulled Luo's arm.

"Auntie, these are the ones I dug up in the mountains, and there are many more! I'll give you a little bit of it, and you'll have it! I don't even know if I'm good at it! Mu Qingqiu looked childish and wanted to be praised, but Luo couldn't bear to refuse, so he wiped his hands at the moment, pinched a small piece of unfloured sweet potato from the side of the bowl and put it in his mouth.

The entrance is soft, sweet but not rapping, delicious, and a little familiar, I can't help frowning slightly, I savored it, and suddenly looked at Mu Qingqiu with surprise and asked, "This is a sweet potato?" ”

Sweet potato? Mu Qingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, in his previous life, sweet potatoes had several names, including sweet potatoes.

So, in fact, Roche knows sweet potatoes? The excitement of discovering the New World was immediately devastated by the excitement.

However, Mu Qingqiu's face did not show a different color, and nodded with a smile: "Is it called a sweet potato?" There are so many in the mountains, you can eat enough! ”

Hearing this, Luo looked at Mu Qingqiu with a strange expression, sighed slightly after a moment, turned around and went into the kitchen, and when he came out again, he took a sweet potato in his hand.

Seeing the sweet potato in Luo's hand, the corners of Mu Qingqiu's mouth twitched slightly, and the smile on his face couldn't be maintained.

She thought that when she dug up the baby, it turned out to be an empty joy, and there were originally sweet potatoes in this era, but the names were different.

When he got home, Mu Qingqiu looked at the pile of sweet potatoes in the kitchen and was a little depressed.

Luo said that many years ago, every year in autumn the mountains were full of sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes were steamed and sweet, delicious and full, so there were many people who went into the mountains to dig sweet potatoes, some people dug to eat, some people dug to sell money, sweet potatoes were sold everywhere in Guyang Town and other nearby towns.

No matter how good things are, they are not worth much, and the price of sweet potatoes drops again and again, and in the end, you can even buy a bunch of them for a penny.

Unless the family is hungry for food, no one will buy sweet potatoes.

At first, rich people also bought and ate it, but after the sweet potato depreciated repeatedly, no one cared about it.

Those rich people also found a reason, saying that sweet potatoes are extremely vulgar and low-grade food, and it is difficult to be elegant. It's not casual nonsense, sweet potatoes are easy to bloate and fart, rich people think they are noble and elegant, and elegant people naturally regard farting as a vulgar and inferior thing.

In other words, the plan of relying on sweet potatoes to be well-off will not work!

No, Mu Qingqiu frowned stubbornly, he couldn't give up sweet potatoes so soon, after all, what Luo said was many years ago.

After seeing the sweet potatoes, Mu Qingqiu wanted to postpone the walnut products, first use the sweet potatoes to eat, and wait for the sweet potatoes to open up the market, and then make walnuts, it is best to send the walnut products directly to the pastry shop.

But now, sweet potatoes have a precedent and don't have a good reputation.

Mushrooms are even more poisonous.

It's a real headache!

There must be a lot of sweet potatoes in the mountains, and it's a pity not to dig them, but if the sweet potatoes are not marketable, is it difficult to dig them up and eat them yourself?

A picture suddenly appeared in her head, she and her younger brother were guarding a room full of sweet potatoes, and their faces were sweet potato color, but they were still gnawing like wood~~~ Yang Bailao looked so sad!

Belch! ~~

Throwing off the mess in his head, Mu Qingqiu thought for a moment and decided to change his plan, sweet potatoes still have to be used, but sweet potato wheat rice must not be made, because it will be recognized, and sweet potatoes can be used to make pastries.

Crispy and delicious sweet potato fries don't want to be directly wanted, no way, sweet potato fries must have vegetable oil, but these days, without vegetable oil, she just knows how to make it, and it's a bit too early to make vegetable oil now.

However, on the other hand, sweet potato cake is more real than sweet potato fries, considering the age of food and clothing, it seems that sweet potato cake should be more popular with the public.

Well, that's it!

Mu Qingqiu didn't know that about sweet potatoes, Luo only said one thing, and there was still something to be said.

With a decision, Mu Qingqiu didn't think much about it, first went to the river to fetch water, boiled it in the pot, and planned to wash himself and his younger brother first.

I borrowed a bath bucket from Roche's family, and Roche gave her a few soap corners.

There is an old soaphorn tree in Zhushan Village, and the soaphorns are ripe in the first few days, and Li Zheng is looking for someone to build a ladder to pick up a lot of ripe soaphorns, and they are divided equally among each household according to the head.

Wealthy families use fragrant pancreas, and villages like Zhushan Village, which have been farming for generations, use soaphorn.

Many villages have saponaria trees, and the folk have a saying, looking at the saponaria trees of a village, you can see the foundation of the village, the bigger the saponaria tree, the more lush it is, indicating that the village is more prosperous.

Whether it is true prosperity or not is another matter, but this belief affects many people.

took a comfortable bath, washed himself and his younger brother cleanly, put on the new clothes that Luo had sewn, and the two sisters and brothers immediately changed as if they were a different person, they looked good, dressed up, full of energy, and even their temperament changed a lot.

It's still early, Mu Qingqiu began to try to make sweet potato cakes, add water to the pot and add fire to the stove, first steam the washed sweet potatoes, Mu Qingqiu wanted to wait for the sweet potatoes to be steamed, add flour, eggs, sugar, etc., knead them evenly, make them into pastries, and then steam them in the pot.
