There are a lot of fish in the river, and few people nearby can catch fish, which makes the vigilance of the fish small, just cheap Zhao family brothers, Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao caught more than a dozen fish in a morning, Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao tied the fish with a straw rope and hung it. Zhao An and Zhao Ping lit the fire, found a branch spearfish, and grilled the fish.

"Yo, you two can grill fish?" Zhao Bao felt that these two younger siblings were really too smart, "I also want to eat grilled fish." ”

"Eat them all." Zhao Andao. She grilled four palm-sized fish, exactly one for each person. There was no salt, no other seasonings, and the fish smelled fishy, but it was just as delicious for a few poor country children.

That night, the Zhao family had a full meal again. And all this was brought by Zhao An, and the Zhao family regarded Zhao An and Zhao Ping as lucky stars, which was even better for the two.

After a while, the potatoes and sweet potatoes sprouted, and branches and leaves grew out of the ground, but the Zhao family didn't pay attention, they just thought it was some kind of weed. Zhao An didn't tell them either, he went to see the growth of the two effects every day, and occasionally watered them. And just like that, four months passed, and both the potatoes and sweet potatoes were ripe.

Because the land is barren, the potatoes and sweet potatoes do not grow big, the largest is only the size of a woman's fist, and the number is not much, and the two add up to less than 300 catties.

Zhao An dug up a few sweet potatoes and threw them into the fire pit under the stove, and after a while, the sweet smell spread, filling the entire Zhao family's house and heading outside. Zhao Ping and several other children of the Zhao family ran into the kitchen, and when they saw Zhao An staying in the kitchen, they immediately knew that the fragrance had something to do with her.

Erya dripped saliva and asked, "An An, what delicious food have you found again?" Why is it so fragrant? ”

After a few months, Zhao An was able to speak fluently. She pulled all the sweet potatoes out of the fire pit and said to the children, "I dug this in the open space and threw it into the fire, but I didn't expect it to be so fragrant after being roasted by the fire." I think this thing should be edible. ”

"Definitely edible." Zhao Bao was tickled by the sweet smell, and couldn't help but pick up a sweet potato, "Wow, it's hot." ”

"Put it down." Zhao Andao.

Zhao Bao was reluctant to put it down, threw the roasted sweet potato from his left hand to his right hand, and then from his right hand to his left hand, and waited until it was a little less hot, Zhao Bao broke the roasted sweet potato with both hands, and the golden flesh was exposed, which was more fragrant.

Zhao Bao lowered his head and took a bite, it was very hot but very delicious.

"Is it delicious?" The second girl stared at Zhao Bao and asked.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's sweet." Zhao Bao replied vaguely while eating.

Hearing his words, Zhao Hu and Er Ya immediately reached out and grabbed two roasted sweet potatoes, and the eldest girl also picked up one. Zhao An divided a roasted sweet potato into two halves, ate half for himself, and gave the other half to Zhao Ping to eat, and told Zhao Ping: "Hot, eat a small bite." ”

"Okay." Zhao Ping, the elder brother, listens to Zhao An's sister the most.

The adults of the Zhao family came home after a busy day, and they smelled a sweet smell in the courtyard.

"What does it smell like? It smells so good. Grandmother Zhao was puzzled.

Grandfather Zhao said: "It should be that these children have found food that they can eat again, right?" ”

The adults glanced at each other, and hurriedly quickened their pace and rushed into the hall. And he saw a pot of black lumps of dirt on the table in the hall. The lumps of dirt were steaming, and the scent was coming from above.

"What is this?" Grandfather Zhao asked, pointing to the lump.

Zhao Hu replied: "Grandfather, this is something An An dug up in the open field, and An An named it Sweet Potato, which is delicious, sweet and glutinous, and can also fill your stomach." ”

"Sweet potatoes?" Grandfather Zhao walked over, picked up a sweet potato, broke it according to what his grandson said, took a bite, and his eyes lit up, "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

Seeing Grandfather Zhao like this, the others couldn't help it, and each took a sweet potato to eat. There are twelve sweet potatoes in a pot, and one adult eats two, and his stomach is seventy percent full, compared to other times when he can only eat five or six percent full, which is really much happier.

"It's so delicious, and it's good to be able to eat well." Uncle Zhao licked his mouth, suddenly stood up, and said to everyone, "Let's go and shave all the other sweet potatoes back, we must not be found out that the sweet potatoes are edible and shaved away." ”

"yes." The adults also got up and were about to go out.

Zhao Hu stopped them: "No need to go, we have already dug up all the sweet potatoes in the open field, and there are also potatoes in another open field." ”

"Potatoes?"

"Hmm. It is also the name of An An's marriage. It's similar to sweet potatoes, but it's not sweet, but it's filling. ”

"A new food to fill your stomach." Grandfather Zhao sighed, his face full of joy, "I didn't expect that such a barren apprentice in the open space could grow such a thing." Can we grow more of these two foods in the future? ”

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Since then, the Zhao family has never been hungry by planting two crops, and several children have been able to eat one more meal at noon under the leadership of Zhao An. The other families in the village saw that the Zhao family was getting better and better, and came to learn from the experience, and took the sweet potatoes and potatoes home to plant, and after that, the whole village did not go hungry again.

Zhao An began to practice physical arts when he was three years old, Zhao Ping was her little follower, what she did, Zhao Ping also followed, the more the two practiced, the better their bodies, the greater their strength, and the more flexible their skills. Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao watched the changes in their younger siblings and learned along. After studying for a few years, his skills and strength have improved significantly, and one person can defeat ten big men. It was in this way that the two of them raised other thoughts.

Soon after, the two brothers, Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao, left home, and they said that they would go outside to make a big career, and when they got ahead, they would come back to take their families to enjoy the blessings. On that day, Grandmother Zhao and Aunt Zhao cried all night, and Grandfather Zhao and Uncle Zhao also didn't sleep all night and sat in the courtyard all night. Zhao An regretted teaching greeting and Zhao Leopard's physical skills, if they hadn't taught them, they wouldn't have been so strong, and they wouldn't have left home, right?

Zhao An decided to teach his younger brother well, so that he should not be as ambitious as Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao. This world is not peaceful, the whole chaotic world, today this one fights with that, tomorrow that one fights with another, go out to wander, who knows when the life will be gone. It's better to stay at home, at least it's calm and safe.

Zhao Ping is a good boy who listens to his sister, and that's what his sister says. It is precisely because of his obedience that Zhao Ping'an lived steadily to his eighties and became a respected person in this era.
