Chapter 11: The Discovery of New Grains

Seeing that Yu'er was sleeping soundly, Meng Ran didn't dare to wake her up, tucked the quilt corner for her, and whispered: "Milk, go to the mountain to find something again, and see if there is anything else to eat." ”

"Yesterday, I entrusted the blessing of the good Yuer, and the family received more than eight taels of silver, and the fragrant talcum powder has been handed over to your mother, and the fabric will be able to make new clothes for you in two days."

"Yu'er will definitely be a beautiful Fuwa in the future!"

The little baby's blessing cub has been noisy in his ears, waving his little fat hand impatiently.

I thought to myself, "Bad, bad! Noisy! Go away! ”

He chirped, and his eyelids seemed to move.

When the time came, Meng Ran didn't dare to continue to say more, for fear that if the little ancestor woke up, the little baby still had to ensure sleep.

…………

On the mountain, the four brothers were willing to look for the good things on the mountain this time.

It's a pity that I haven't encountered any prey today, and I have picked up some red wild fruits, which are very jerky and strange and unpalatable.

Until the sun was high and the heat had slowly come up.

The people of the old Liu family still found nothing, and they went up the mountain in the morning, and they were directly killed at this time.

At this time, Meng Ran sat up from under the big tree, took small steps slowly, and went towards the place in his heart.

This mysterious and mysterious feeling is still there today, and it has not disappeared.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the destination, I found that this place was quite hidden, and no one had ever visited.

"Wow! Earn a fortune! Such a large piece of wild yam must not be hundreds of catties when dug up! ”

That's right, wild yam is a treasure, it can be used as a staple food and a side dish, and it is also a medicine commonly used in ancient pharmacies.

Meng Ran's eyes narrowed happily, the glutinous yam was sweet and delicious!

Pick up the thick wooden stick next to it and dig directly.

After digging for a minute or two, the whole yam was revealed, thick and big!

This wild yam field has never been discovered, and I don't know how it grows so well.

Meng Ran took the long yam and went to find those sons, this yam grows very well, but it is strange and difficult to dig, and it takes a lot of effort to dig it out.

This kind of digging is better for four cheap sons to exert their strength.

"Mother, have you found something good?"

The fourth child looked at the mother with a happy face, and asked directly.

"Na! Discover a large piece of this treasure! ”

The long stick yam with a hairy beard was placed directly in front of them, and several people were stunned.

"Mother, what kind of baby is this?"

"Why do you look like this? Weird ugly! ”

"Weird-looking!" The second child echoed.

The eldest and third looked at their mother suspiciously, unable to see what kind of treasure this was.

Meng Ran was also dumbfounded, "You don't even recognize what this thing is?" ”

All four shook their heads at the same time.

Meng Ran sighed, "No wonder no one has found such a large piece of treasure." ”

"Being in Baoshan, but not knowing the treasure!"

Meng Ran carefully introduced, "This thing is called yam, it is a kind of food that can be eaten, and it can also be cooked, it is even a traditional Chinese medicine, called potato root, which can replenish the qi of the spleen and stomach, nourish the yin of the spleen and stomach, and nourish the lungs." ”

"It's still a well-informed mother!" Liu Laosi patted his ass and said.

"Okay, okay, the sun is coming, take a cloth bag, dig it clean, and move it home, just to stock up some food for the family."

Without further ado, the mother and son directly began to work hard, digging out piles of yams, and stopping for a while after digging up enough for five bags.

"Let's dig this much first, and we'll talk about it later."

After speaking, he took out the cakes that he had spread in the morning, filled his stomach with water, and after mixing his stomach full, he rested enough.

"Boss, you take the second child back with bags of bags, I will take the third and fourth children to continue digging, after you go back, call your daughter-in-law to go up the mountain and come over to dig together!"

"Bring a few more cloth bags!" Meng Ran admonished.

In this way, the family worked together, against the big sun, digging until the sun went down, and several people were so tired that they gasped for breath and sat under the tree.

"It's finally finished!" Boss Liu is also tired from being a porter.

Meng Ran wiped the sweat on his head, slowed down, and then said: "Use your strength to exchange for hundreds of catties of food, let's steal the fun!" ”

"This yam is really strange and delicious as a staple food, you will know when you go back and cook it!"

Seeing that they didn't care, Meng Ran didn't continue.

…………

The remaining ribs from yesterday were stewed directly into a yam pork rib soup, the pig's head was directly marinated, the marinade was prepared in the pharmacy, and the luxury cost nearly a penny of silver, bought a big bag, and it can be used for a long time.

Today, the whole family worked hard, Meng Ran didn't pick the door, and directly cooked several catties of yam as the staple food.

The dishes in the evening are particularly rich, the girls in the family are crazy with joy, and the only golden grandson is also happy, clapping happily, today is another day with meat!

"It's served!" Liu's eldest daughter-in-law shouted.

Tonight's dish is two dozen large plates of braised pork head meat, stewed very fragrantly, Q bomb Q bomb, the color is attractive, the thick oil sauce is red, especially sucking, children have to cry.

Another large pot of yam pork rib soup, sprinkled with chopped green onions, looks at the soup is extraordinarily beautiful, very delicious.

The yam is cut into small pieces and eaten directly as a meal.

The first time a family eats it, this soft and glutinous with a sweet taste directly conquers everyone!

"Mother, this yam is too delicious!"

"You don't need to gnaw, it's so soft and rotten, you can sip it!"

"This first steamed yam is indeed soft, and it can be directly pounded into yam puree and made into other foods, such as yam cake, which is very similar to the pastries eaten by people in the city." Meng Ran commented calmly.

Several granddaughters looked at their grandmothers with admiration, and of course, they wanted to eat the yam cake described in the nipple.

They couldn't help but lick their lips and look greedy.

"Come on! Isn't it just yam cake! I'll make the pastries in the city, too, and I'll show you another day! ”

Meng Ran promised, the girls at the table were overjoyed and happy, and in the future, they could taste the pastries that only people in the city could eat!

The family ate all the dinner, and they were satisfied, and the yam was the staple food, which was really full.

Wu Taohua got the idea of the pile of yams that had just been shipped home at home, and there were hundreds of catties of grain at home, and I didn't know if I could borrow a few dozen catties from her mother's family.

She first dragged her father-in-law back to the room, and discussed in a low voice: "Fourth brother, my mother's family has no food, do you think I can find some food for my mother to send back!" ”

"My family guarantees that this season's grain will be harvested, and the grain will be returned!"

Liu Laosi looked at his lady in surprise, "Peach Blossom, do you think you can make your mother loosen?" ”

"Even if you can borrow it from your mother, you borrow some and send it back to your mother's house, and the other three sisters-in-law are estimated to be the same, and half of the food at home may be gone!"

"What will our family eat then?"

Wu Taohua listened to Xianggong's words, and her face turned red directly.

She could actually expect this situation.
