Chapter 462: Eating Sweet Potatoes
Soon, Bai Dazhuang opened the big mahogany box containing sweet potatoes.
"Sister, look at it, is this the sweet potato you want." Bai Sanzhuang carefully unwrapped the wrapped oil paper, and took out two fruits with dark red skin and round skin and earth.
Xiao Fuyuan held it in his hand, and his eyes lit up.
That's right, it's indeed sweet potatoes.
The third brother is amazing, he can really bring sweet potatoes across the ocean.
"It's a sweet potato." Xiao Fuyuan turned the sweet potatoes over and over again and looked around, and the fresh big sweet potatoes were not broken or moldy.
"This is the sweet potato? Auntie, can you eat this thing? Da Lang asked curiously.
Without waiting for Xiao Fuyuan to answer, Bai Sanzhuang said with a smile: "You can eat it, it's quite delicious." ”
Bai Sanzhuang has eaten it a few times, it is fragrant and sweet, and it is very anti-hunger.
He thought that his sister must have seen the taste described in Ah Zhen's book and wanted to eat this thing, so he asked him to find it.
"Little Yuanbao, how do you know about this Nanyang thing?" Bai Muban was a little suspicious in his heart, not because he doubted his girlfriend's cleverness, but because he doubted whether this thing would be poisonous.
"I saw it in Brother Zhen's book, saying that this thing is called sweet potatoes and can be eaten as rice." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile, she wanted to eat baked sweet potatoes very much at this time, and the baked sweet potatoes were held in her hands, and she took a bite in the cold winter, not to mention how beautiful it was.
But the third brother only brought a box, if she eats it, how can she let the eldest brother cultivate and plant.
"Girls are careful, and they can remember these things when they read books." "But this is the first time we've seen this thing, so it's better to be careful when eating." ”
Although Bai Sanzhuang has eaten it and thinks it tastes good.
But Bai Muban was still a little worried, and he decided that if his daughter had to try it, the rest of the family would try it first, and then let his daughter eat it when it was no problem.
"The third child has eaten it, what does it taste like?"
The old lady Bai looked suspicious, how can this melon-like thing be used as food?
The grain is not all wheat, rice, and sorghum, with grains, and it comes down in a pinch of it.
How can this round thing be used as food?
Just like pumpkins, they can also be cooked and eaten, and I haven't seen anyone use pumpkins as food.
"It needs to be cooked and eaten, a little sweet and a little noodle." Bai Sanzhuang said.
"Does this thing grow on a tree or underground?" Xie Chuntao asked.
"It grows in the ground, it is like a peanut, with a vine on it, and when it is ripe, it also gives a peanut the same as a lot of knots on a vine." Bai Sanzhuang said with a gesture.
The family expressed doubts, such a big fruit, a nest can be as many as peanuts?
Bai Dazhuang's eyes lit up after hearing this.
It's like a peanut, a dozen or so big things on a vine, and he has never seen this kind of crop.
In addition, Fang Cai's sister said that it can be eaten as food, so if it is really planted, how many people will have to be fed per acre of land?
In times of drought, this kind of food can save many lives.
"Is it true that a lot of knots can be formed on one vine?" Bai Dazhuang asked excitedly, no way, Bai Dazhuang likes to serve crops the most on weekdays, and he is excited when he encounters topics related to crops.
"It's a real big brother." Xiao Fuyuan nodded.
Bai Dazhuang's eyes straightened, and he asked again: "Then this ..... of sweet potatoes is sown seeds or how to plant them?" ”
His intuition told him that something so big didn't look like it was seed-sown.
But not necessarily, the watermelon is so big, don't also sprinkle seeds.
"I don't know about this, I only saw people planting it in the field when I got to Nalu Island, and I didn't ask how it was planted."
This is not to blame Bai Sanzhuang, at that time, his sister just asked him to find sweet potatoes, and did not ask him about the planting method.
He also doesn't have an unusual love for growing crops like his eldest brother.
Bai Dazhuang was a little disappointed.
"I know what to plant, big brother." Xiao Fuyuan said, "Brother Ah Zhen's book says that this sweet potato is a seed, but it can't be planted directly in the ground, you need to let it germinate, and then plant it in the ground." The book also says that it should be planted in the spring. ”
Xiao Fuyuan patted the sweet potato.
Naturally, these are not written in Ah Zhen's book.
But she used to follow her mother to her grandmother's house in the countryside to "experience rural life" and saw it, and she was led by her grandmother to the field to plant seedlings in the ground herself.
As for Yun Miao's statement, it is naturally a noun she learned from her eldest brother and grandmother to grow vegetables.
Bai Dazhuang is worthy of being a crop expert, as soon as he heard his sister's description, he got the essence and knew what was going on.
"Didn't the girl say she wanted to eat this sweet potato? What is this discussing? Bai Muban looked at the eldest son vigilantly, this is to cheat the "seeds" in the hands of the girl.
"I brought a box this time, if my eldest brother wants to plant it, I'll bring it to you next time, this box is for my sister." Bai Sanzhuang said.
Xiao Fuyuan shook her head, she really wanted to eat sweet potatoes.
Roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato porridge, honey sweet potato chips...... The thought makes my mouth water.
But sweet potatoes are more important to save lives.
"Dad, third brother, I think it's better for this sweet potato to be used as a seed breeding and planting by the eldest brother. It was written in the book that sweet potatoes can be used as food, and a vine can bear many, many people, and how many lives will be saved if there is another drought. Xiao Fuyuan looked at Bai Dazhuang and said.
Bai Dazhuang was full of emotion, in the end, his sister was intimate, and he thought of it together.
He even felt that it was fake that his sister wanted to eat sweet potatoes, and it was true that he asked for seeds.
These words moved the Bai family.
"In the end, it's Xiao Yuanbao, so young to think so far." Zhen sighed.
"If it's really like what my granddaughter said, this sweet potato can save many people's lives, then it's really a great credit." Mrs. Bai remembered last year's Yan Huang and how many lives she saved.
If this sweet potato is really successfully cultivated, it can be regarded as a blessing for the little granddaughter.
"Big brother, these sweet potatoes are all for you, you can plant them." Xiao Fuyuan said.
She just can't eat it this time, and when her eldest brother succeeds in cultivating, she can eat it every day in the future.
"No, isn't that a big box? I only need two. Bai Dazhuang said with a touched face.
"Don't, big brother, you can take it and plant it." Xiao Fuyuan insisted.
Seeing that the brother and sister were pushing, Bai Muban thought for a while and said, "That's it, since this thing can save people's lives, let's plant it." But after all, the girl asked the third child to bring it, so she left the two for the girl to taste, and the rest was given to Da Zhuang to breed. ”
The white plank was finalized and unanimously approved.
Bai Sanzhuang took out all the sweet potatoes in the box, checked them carefully, and none of them were bad, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he picked the two biggest ones and left them for his sister to eat, and gave the rest to Bai Dazhuang.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Xie Chuntao was carrying sweet potatoes, and she planned to make them for her sister-in-law to taste immediately.
"Sister-in-law, peel and cut the porridge with rice, let's try it." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Da Lang cheered a few times, and they also wanted to taste the taste of sweet potatoes.
Xie Chuntao went to the kitchen, washed it, peeled it, and cut it into pieces.
For the first time, the Bai family looked around curiously, and the old lady Bai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not cut and cut like watermelon.
Xie Chuntao boiled porridge with rice according to Xiao Fuyuan's request.
Soon, the sweet smell overflowed the kitchen and filled the yard.
After the porridge was boiled, each person shared a bowl, of course, Xie Chuntao gave Xiaofu the most sweet potatoes.
Everyone took the bowl and tasted it curiously.
Sure enough, it is very sweet and delicious, and it is much better than the millet of swallows.
"Third brother, the process of bringing sweet potatoes wasn't so smooth, was it?" Xiao Fuyuan took a small bite of the sweet potato and asked Bai Sanzhuang seriously.
