Joe's Farming

However, among all the wild fruits in summer, Qiao Yu’s favorite is wild sweet potato.

Qiao Yu had never eaten wild sweet potatoes in this world. Not to mention city people, even many country people may not have eaten wild sweet potatoes.

So when Qiao Yu tasted it for the first time, he was amazed by how heavenly it was.

The rich aroma and sweet taste made Qiao Yu fall in love with it at the first bite.

There is simply no shortcoming to be found. If I have to point out any shortcomings, it is that the yield is too small and the flesh is too soft, making it difficult to preserve.

That day, Xiaobai went up the mountain to look for milk bubbles and found them on a piece of land. In total, he found dozens of them. Dazhuang and he ate a few and brought all of them to Qiao Yu.

Seeing that his husband's eyes were narrowed while eating, and he couldn't help but hum, Gu Feng couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Do you really like it that much?"

Qiao Yu quickly fed him one: "Try it."

Gu Feng had eaten the food his older brother found for him when he was a child, so he knew the taste. However, every time this thing was ripe, many people would go looking for it, so the number of times he had eaten it could be counted on one hand.

But the sweetness in his memory still couldn't compare to the one that Qiao Yu fed him.

"Sweet and delicious. There are some on the hill behind our house. Can I take Qiao Er to dig them?"

Qiao Yu nodded quickly: "Okay, okay!"

I no longer say that I’m fat and that it’s inconvenient like before.

The children were even more excited after hearing this, and they were eager to dig up lots of wild sweet potatoes for their little daddy so that they could eat their fill.

Wild sweet potato

So, Gu Feng took Qiao Yu and the three children to the back mountain to look for wild sweet potatoes.

Wild sweet potato vines grow prostrate on the ground, and their leaves are oval and slightly serrated.

The family was in no hurry and walked slowly up the mountain.

Qiao Yu prepared a pot of ginger rice tea, some pancakes, cold cucumber and peanut salad, and red oil pig ears, and gave them all to Gu Feng.

Before going out, Li Xin laughed at him, saying that he was not going to dig wild sweet potatoes, but to have a picnic.

The children were quite energetic, but they all stayed around Qiao Yu obediently and didn't run around.

Because snakes would come out to bask in the sun in the mountains in the summer, the children had been scared once before, so they didn't dare to run forward on their own. Gu Feng used a long branch to knock in front to clear the way.

Qiao Yu is also afraid of snakes, but as long as Gu Feng is around, he feels particularly safe.

Suddenly Gu Feng stopped.

Gu Xiaoxue said fearfully: "Dad, did you... did you see a snake?"

Gu Feng turned around and smiled, "No, Daddy saw the milk bubbles, do you want to pick some?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu hurried forward and said, "No, no, no! What is milk foam? It sounds delicious!"

Gu Feng rubbed his husband's head and pointed to a shrub growing on the mountain wall in front of him: "Look, that's the milk bubble."

Qiao Yu looked carefully at the shrub with lighter leaves in front of him and found that the fruits were hidden under the leaves. They were very small berries, ranging in color from dark red to pink.

Milk foam

Qiao Yu picked one and put it in her mouth to taste it.

hiss--

very sour.

Gu Feng smiled and picked off a bunch of berries, then motioned to Qiao Yu to eat it in one bite.

"Sour." Qiao Yu accused.

Gu Feng insisted: "Try it."

So Qiao Yu swallowed it in one gulp.

Hey, I didn't taste much of the small one just now, but now that there are more in my mouth, it really tastes good. It's not as sour as before, but a sour and sweet taste, which makes people want to have another bite after taking one.

Qiao Yu quickly picked some and gave them to the three little ones to taste.

Qiao Xing frowned, while Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Xiaoyan happily said, it’s delicious!

Picking them one by one is too slow.

Gu Feng took out the sickle and cut off several branches that were full of small fruits.

"I'll go home and eat slowly later."

Qiao Yu gave him a thumbs up: "My husband is smart!"

There is no one to trim the shrubs in the mountains, so a few cuts will not hinder the growth of the plants.

Gu Feng gave the children a few small branches to eat while they walked.

Just when Qiao Yu thought he needed to rest for a while before continuing walking, they finally arrived at their destination.

This is a sunny hillside, with wild sweet potato vines and some bushes on the ground.

Gu Feng put down the basket and taught Qiao Yu and the children how to look for wild sweet potatoes.

Wild sweet potatoes are usually hidden under the leaves, and some even grow in the soil, mostly covered by mud, so you need to dig very carefully to avoid missing them.

The ripe wild sweet potatoes are red and feel soft when you squeeze them gently.

Unripe wild sweet potatoes are lighter in color and have hard fruits.

Qiao Yu was very lucky. After searching for a while, he found a nest of wild sweet potatoes.

Oh, by the way, wild sweet potatoes usually appear in clusters.

"Ah! I found so many!"

Qiao Yu said excitedly.

The children immediately ran over, and Gu Feng came over and squatted beside him, admonishing: "Just pick the two on the surface with your hands, and dig the ones in the soil gently, as they will break easily. Remember this place, and the other ones will be ripe next time."

Qiao Yu happily dug out all the ripe ones and put them in the small basket beside her.

"Little daddy is awesome."

"Let's go dig too."

As the three kids spoke, they squatted on the ground and began to carefully search for wild sweet potatoes.

Gu Feng was afraid that Qiao Yu was tired, so he let him sit on the ground and rest for a while, and gave the wild sweet potatoes to them.

Qiao Yu shook her head: "No, it feels great to find wild sweet potatoes, just like suddenly digging up treasure."

Gu Feng naturally agreed with him: "If you are tired, take a rest."

Qiao Yu nodded: "Don't worry, if I don't want to move, no one can shout at me."

Gu Feng smiled, and while the children were concentrating on finding wild sweet potatoes, he quickly pecked the corner of Qiao Yu's mouth.

Qiao Yu's mouth curled up, and she felt that she was really lucky to have met such a good husband.

No one had ever come to this wild sweet potato field, so except for the ants eating the ripe wild sweet potatoes, they all lay quietly in the field waiting for Qiao Yu's family to take action.

Qiao Yu happily looked for several nests, but finally he couldn't stay there any longer.

She stood up and walked for a while, then asked her husband and children to eat.

Gu Feng put all the wild sweet potatoes that he and the children had dug into a basket, and then took Qiao Yu to a place with water to wash their hands.

After washing her hands, Qiao Yu patted the water on her face. The mountain wind blew past, bringing a hint of coolness immediately.

The five of them found a shady spot and sat down on the ground.

Qiao Yu took out the food and water bottle from the basket. Gu Feng picked a few leaves and cut five pairs of chopsticks on the spot with a knife.

The leaves can be rolled into a cone and used to hold water for drinking.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng demonstrated it to the children. Except for Gu Xiaoyan who was a little slower, the other three kids completed it very well.

In fact, you can bring bamboo cups and bowls and chopsticks from home.

However, Qiao Yu hopes that children can do more of these things, make tools according to local conditions, and exercise their hands-on ability.

Qiao Yu also asked Gu Feng to wash some wild sweet potatoes, string them together with tree branches to make candied haws, and gave one string to each person.

The children were very happy, as if they had received a reward.

After drinking the ginger rice tea, I finished them one by one.

Then I followed Qiao Yu's example, tore off a piece of pancake, put cucumber, peanuts and thinly sliced ​​crispy pig ears in it, rolled up the pancake and took a bite.

"Little Daddy, it's delicious."

Qiao Yu was already immune to the children saying this, and said to them with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more."

Gu Feng rolled up a big roll for Qiao Yu and handed it to him: "Qiao'er, eat more too."

The three little ones looked at each other and smiled.

Alas! Daddy really only has Little Daddy in his eyes.
