【042】The hand is fast, the mouth is faster

The sweet potatoes smelled the fragrant aroma before they came out of the pot, and the eyes of the two people who were still arguing just now returned to the pot, rubbing their fists and palms.

Yuqi saw that the time was almost up, and turned out the sweet potatoes in the fire, although the skin was not good-looking, but it smelled sweet.

"Well, I'll taste it first to see if it tastes good. Wucui was completely attracted by this smell, whether it was hot or not, he reached out and dragged one, and then he heard a 'whoop', indicating that he was burned.

Wuhe looked at the way she shook her hands, it was estimated that it was not light, and she didn't dare to grab it, she looked at the stick in Yuqi's hand playing with sweet potatoes, learned experience, and also took a firewood stick that had not been burned, stretched out her foot and stepped on the fire a few times, and pulled a short and fat one from the sweet potato pile, and blew it hard, just waiting for the cold to get a good mouth.

Yu Jie looked left and right at Wucui, and when she saw her sister pick a small one, she also took a small one, peeled off the outer skin, leaked out the yellow flesh inside, and took a light bite, sweet, a little noodle, but not sticky to the teeth, and it was very fragrant when it was eaten in the mouth.

Uho and Utsui didn't care to speak, blowing and sucking, concentrating on what they were doing.

The fire in the stove was extinguished, the steamed sweet potatoes in the pot were also ready, and as soon as Yuqi opened the lid of the pot, a pungent aroma followed.

"What are you stealing from food?" Fan Dahe, who smelled the fragrance, suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen, and coldly questioned the few people in the kitchen who were gobbling up.

"Cough, cough, cough. Wuhe was frightened by his voice, and before he had time to swallow the things in his mouth, he choked in his throat all of a sudden, and it was not easy to pat his chest twice, Yuqi looked at it, scooped a scoop of cold water and handed it to her, and saw that she drank it twice, and her chest was much more comfortable.

Wuhe, who was choked, looked back at him with slightly red eyes, and was not angry: "We don't care if we steal or not, it's really a dog taking a mouse." "Huh!" he snorted heavily from his nasal voice.

Wu Cui saw that the little sister was so uncomfortable just now, and rolled her eyes at him without a good face, this person was like a ghost, walking without making a sound, hanging his head and gnawing on the things in his hand, as if he was angry.

Yujie was already surprised by his sudden appearance, as if she hadn't seen him, she should eat. It's time to drink, and your eyes haven't even taken off the red-skinned stuff on the drawer in the pot.

Fan Dahe raised his eyebrows, strode into the kitchen, squatted on the ground, looked at the fragrant food they ate, and swallowed his saliva: "I will eat too." Regardless of the small eyes of several of them, with a stretch of their long arms, it was enough for a black thing, and they learned to peel off the outer skin, and when they saw that there was a yellow pulp, they began to eat.

"Whew, it's delicious. After eating the last bite, Wucui touched her round belly and felt it.

Wuhe also nodded violently: "Well, well, Yuqi, what is this thing called, it's really sweet." ”

Yu Jie and Fan Dahe were also curious, and both stared at her.

Yuqi shrugged: "This thing is called sweet potato, not only roasted and eaten, steamed and eaten, but also put some on when boiling porridge, and also exhale, not only full but also very sweet, but delicious." ”

"Really, then I'll stay up when I go home tonight, anyway, it's porridge every night, and I can wake up hungry in the middle of the night, if this thing can really fight hunger, I will eat it in the future." As soon as Utsui heard that this thing called sweet potatoes could be used as rice, she immediately decided to go home and try it.

"Then let's go up the mountain early tomorrow morning and dig more. ”

"Wuhe is right, there is less rain this year, the bud valley is not good, and there is nothing left after paying the tax. "Every day, I hear my father and mother sitting on the kang and say, even if I don't know how to farm, I can understand what the adults say, hey, Wucui sighed.

"Sister, let's prepare some at home. Yu Jie, who was hungry and scared, also begged Yuqi.

Fan Dahe was just eating quietly, as if he hadn't listened to what they said, but his pricked ears couldn't deceive people.

"Okay, this sweet potato is ready, and there is no problem in eating it until the New Year. Yuqi thinks about her father and mother, who are also reluctant to spend money, saying that this sweet potato is also food, but in this era, the farmers have not found it, it is the potato, and she has not found it so far.

In the evening, Yuqi cooked, boiled a pot of sweet potato porridge for the family, steamed a small pot of sweet potatoes, and specially baked a bunch of small sweet potatoes in the stove, waiting for dinner to send to a few cousins and cousins, and let them try it.

There was no bowl left in the last bowl of a pot of sweet potato porridge, and my father shouted that it was delicious with a full burp, and praised Yuqi and Yujie, but my mother couldn't help but tell their sisters a few words: "In the future, everything that has not been eaten must be fed to the chickens and ducks first, if they are okay to eat, we can eat it, in case this thing is poisonous, it is too late to regret it, you know?"

"Got it, mother. ”

Fan Junjiang looked at the two girls who were very obedient and excused them: "Don't nag, what then, the sweet potatoes are almost cold, hurry up and let them send them to their father, it won't taste good for a while." ”

Zhu Yan glanced back at him, turned his eyes and said, "Okay, you guys hurry up, remember to come back early." ”

When the sisters heard this, they grinned and said, "I know Mother." ”

took the sweet potato and went straight to the nearest second uncle's house, and it was the second cousin Sining who opened the door, and was slightly surprised to see Yuqi and Yujie: "Why are you here so late? ”

"No, second sister, I'm here to deliver sweet potatoes to you, and I'll go to the third uncle's house and the eldest uncle's house in a while. ”

Si Ning looked at Yu Qi's line of sight, and saw a small pot slowly filled with things, Yu Jie took out a few roasted and steamed ones from above, and handed them to Si Ning: "Second sister, remember to peel off the skin on the outside when eating, this thing is delicious and sweet." ”

"yes, then I'd like to try it. Seeing Yu Jie's satisfied face, Si Ning said with a smile, and was also curious that this thing was really as sweet as the little cousin said.

When she arrived at the third uncle's house, the door of the house was not closed, so Yuqi left half of the sweet potatoes in the pot to the third uncle, told her how to eat them, and then led her sister to the uncle's house.

As soon as I entered the uncle's house, I saw that they were setting the table and preparing to eat, Yuqi put things on the table, and heard her say that this thing was delicious and sweet, grandpa, grandma, and uncle were all smiling, and the three cousins couldn't sit still, grandpa picked up a sweet potato and grandma split it in half, and the uncle and aunt divided one, all with the attitude of trying it, and the three cousins waited for them to finish, put the chopsticks to the side, and started directly.

The sister-in-law in the lobby hugged the child to see the eager appearance of the little uncles, couldn't help but smile, picked up one, peeled it, tasted it, felt delicious, and then fed the son in her arms in small bites.

"Well, don't say it, this thing is really good, not only sweet but also soft, just right for my teeth. Grandpa ate a small half, still unsatisfied, and when he went to get it, the basin was empty, and he looked at the table in a blink of an eye, and the grandchildren's hands were fast, their mouths were faster, and they already had a small pile of sweet potato skins in front of them
