After her husband died in battle, she relied on the villain cub to make a comeback.

Xu Lanlan's eyes lit up, "What good thing? Ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum?"

"No, it's not...what's that called, red...sweet potato? Yes, it's sweet potato!"

Sanniu didn’t understand what sweet potatoes were used for, but when she read between the lines, what could be more productive than grain?What could be ground into powder? She saw her third aunt break one open. It was white and crispy, making her salivate.

He immediately ran over with Xu Lanlan.

And Ye Zhizhi couldn't dig anymore after digging two baskets of sweet potatoes.

She still had ginseng in her hand, and she had to go back and deal with it quickly so that she could sell it to the drug store for money, so she went home with a few kids.

This was an advantage. Xiao Sanniu wiped the sweat from her forehead, took the farm tool in her mother's hand and dug down the deep and shallow patches of land that had been dug by the leaves and branches. After a while, she dug out a deep and shallow patch of land. Something as big as her palm, dusty.

"Is this the sweet potato you're talking about? It's so dirty, can it be eaten?"

Xu Lanlan frowned and took the sweet potato, broke it open with force, smelled it, and found that the white flesh inside had a faint fragrance. When she took a bite, it had the texture of white flour, astringent and sweet.

Her eyes lit up, and she intuitively felt that this thing could be used to wrap her belly, but because Ye Zhizhi had found it, she was afraid it was poisonous, so she immediately put a few sweet potatoes back into the carrier and hid them.

"I have to ask your grandma and your father!"

Halfway through, she was cautious, fearing that others would take home the sweet potatoes she and her daughter discovered and eat them, and seize the fruits of her hard work, so she asked Sanniu to guard her sweet potato field.

Xu Lanlan hurried back to Xiao's house.

It was noon at this time, every household had cooked, and Mrs. Xiao was lying in the house taking a nap.

Because her gold and silver jewelry and silk satin had mysteriously disappeared after Ye Zhizhi came to the house a few days ago, she had been angry for several days, and the corners of her mouth were blistered.

I don’t understand that the silks and satins are all big and cannot be hidden at all. Where did Ye Zhizhi put her things?

I was in deep contemplation when I turned my head and saw that my eldest daughter-in-law had returned home with a basket on her back, bringing only a few wild vegetables and tree barks. Her face instantly darkened.

"You're a useless thing. You've been working all morning and you've prepared so much for me. Who will starve to death when there's a famine?"

"Mom, don't be angry, don't get so angry. I went up the mountain today and actually discovered something amazing!"

Xu Lanlan has always been sweeter than Li Jinfeng and knows how to make her mother-in-law happy. As soon as she said these words, Mrs. Xiao was relieved a lot.

Then he threw all the wild vegetables aside, called in Xiao Dajiang who was working on the table outside, and told him how Sanniu found Ye Zhizhi digging sweet potatoes.

"Mom, head of the house, you two, take a look, are you able to eat this sweet potato?"

This was the first time Mrs. Xiao saw this thing. She washed it with well water and chopped it with a knife, and a crunching sound revealed the white flesh inside.

I took a silver hairpin and stuck it in, but there was no blackening reaction.

"It smells quite good, but I've never seen anything like this in the village in my whole life. Dajiang, what do you say?"

Xiao Dajiang first threw the sweet potatoes into the pot and steamed them until they were steaming out of the pot, then he put them to his mouth and took a bite.

“Hiss—hot, hot, hot!”

He stuck out his tongue, his eyes brightened,

"...Mom, this sweet potato tastes just like the water chestnuts that my third brother used to honor my mother. It's soft and sweet. It's so delicious!"

The so-called water chestnuts, also known as water chestnuts, have a sweet and crisp taste. They can be eaten raw as fruit, or can be cooked into porridge or stir-fried vegetables.

Old Mrs. Xiao was seriously ill that year. She got angry, had a sore throat, and couldn't speak. The third child heard that this thing was effective, clearing away heat and phlegm, moistening the intestines and laxative, so she spent a lot of money to have someone go out of town. Bought from a merchant.

Xiao Dajiang was lucky enough to take two bites of it back then, and he still remembers the taste. One bite was as good as a living god!

This sweet potato tastes just like water chestnuts, and it’s not poisonous. It’s definitely a good food to fill your stomach!

Now he looked at his wife with eager eyes, "Lan Lan, where did the third brother and sister find these sweet potatoes?"

"What did the third brother and sister find?"

Xu Lanlan was not very happy, "Things raised by nature belong to whoever takes them.

Thanks to the cleverness of Sanniu and I, we were able to find this good thing.I made a rough estimate and found that it was at least five acres of land, and it was all covered in it! "

"Okay, okay, until God perishes our Xiao family!"

Xiao Dajiang immediately said, "Mom, let's eat right away. When we're done, the whole family will go out and dig up all these sweet potatoes!"

Old Mrs. Xiao understood that these sweet potatoes were as good as food. Her head no longer hurt and her eyesight was no longer blurry. She put on her shoes and brought out steamed rice with wild vegetables. The boss and the second child had to eat a bowl of it. Rice, half a bowl each for the two daughters-in-law, and one bowl for Miao Hu, the only child in the second room. As for the two losers born to the eldest daughter-in-law, they don't need to eat at all. They will starve to death.

In this way, after eating, the whole family went out with their cages on their backs.

These days, there is a severe drought, and the people in Tianshui Village don't have to take care of the crops in the fields every day. They basically dig bark and chop firewood in the back mountains, or go to the town to find business, raise chickens and ducks, and sell them for money. .

Therefore, the whole Xiao family went out and did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Xu Lanlan took the whole family deep into the mountains in the direction he remembered. The road was not close, and the location was remote. He had to walk through a small forest and then turn two steps to get there. No wonder no one has discovered sweet potatoes in these years. Good stuff!

"Dad, Mom, you're finally here!" Sanniu happily greeted her, "I showed our sweet potatoes very well!"

"Yes, I will reward you with half a bowl of wild vegetables when I go back."

After Mrs. Xiao spoke generously, she asked her sons and daughters-in-law to dig sweet potatoes, while she walked around with little feet. After a rough measurement, she found that there were more than six acres of land covered with sweet potatoes.

"My dear, this is too much!"

What is the concept of six acres of land? It takes half a day to walk alone. In addition, the land is dry, so it is not easy to dig sweet potatoes. Even if the whole family goes out, if they want to dig up these sweet potatoes, they will have to work non-stop for seven or eight hours. sky.

And in these seven or eight days, some villagers will definitely discover something unusual about them, Ye Zhizhi is not a good guy either, and they might even try to steal their sweet potatoes.

His eyes flashed and he said, "Boss, wife, go and call Li Zheng over, and say that our family has been working hard for a month to find food for the people in the village, and we have found an edible food." Sweet potatoes! Give a share to the people in the village!"

"Why, mother!"

Xu Lanlan's face drooped and she screamed, "These are the sweet potatoes that Sanniu and I spent a lot of effort to find! Even if my mother doesn't like them, we can still sell them at a high price. Why do we have to do it for nothing?" Give it to the villagers.

Last time Ye Zhizhi came to our house to make trouble, no one could help us!Are they worthy? ! "
