Chapter 22 Food Ration for the Whole Village(1/2)
"Ruanruan, look, brother pulled it out!" Su Qinghe raised the 'stick' in his hand and shouted excitedly!
"But Ruanruan, what's the use of this 'stick'?"
Su Ruanruan explained patiently: "Brother, this is something called yam. Well...it is said that it can..."
Grandpa Tutu reminded in the statue: "Little princess, you can eat it as a snack or as a vegetable. The nutritional value is very high!"
"It can satisfy your hunger, and can also be eaten as a vegetable. It has many, many nutrients!"
Su Qinghe smiled with crooked eyebrows, "My Ruanruan knows a lot. If grandma and mother know about it, they will definitely be happy!"
"Well! Let's go find Nai and mother to have sex now."
Su Ruanruan held up her trophies in her hands and jumped ahead.
Although Su Qinghe was still a little stupid, he tried his best to take care of Xiao Ruanruan along the way, fearing that she would be hurt in the slightest.
The two walked for a long time, climbing almost half of the mountain, and finally found a family.
Su Ruanruan excitedly rushed to Nai Ruan, "Nai! Look what Ruan Ruan found?"
Mrs. Su took a look at the 'stick' her granddaughter was holding. The stick was thick and straight, so it was a good stick.
"This stick is good."
"Milk," Su Ruanruan wrinkled her pretty eyebrows and said in a milky voice, "This is not a stick, this is called a yam!"
"Yam?" Mrs. Su and Lin Cuilan looked at each other. Neither of them had heard of yam.
"What's the use of this?"
"This, this is edible! It can satisfy your hunger, and you can also cook!"
"Can it be eaten?" Madam Su looked left and right. None of these branch-like things looked like food that could satisfy her hunger.
"Ruanruan, how can you eat this?"
"Uh..." This question really stumped Su Ruanruan.
Fortunately, Grandpa Tutu quickly said: "You can roast it directly in the fire and eat it. It will be soft, waxy, sweet, and delicious."
"Milk, this can be roasted and eaten! Let's eat it now. Ruanruan didn't have breakfast this morning, and now she feels very hungry."
Su Ruanruan's stomach growled in response.
In fact, it's not just her, everyone is hungry now.
"Then let's try baking it."
Mrs. Su still doesn't think this stick is edible, but since Ruan Ruan said it, she will give it a try.
Several people worked together and quickly made a fire.
Su Ruoruan threw the yam into the fire.
Several people looked at the black stick that was swallowed by the fire.
But to everyone's surprise, this stick was different from other branches. It did not burn after burning for a long time. Instead, as time went by, a faint fragrance came out.
At this time, Grandpa Tutu suddenly said: "Okay!"
Su Ruanruan immediately said: "It's baked and ready to eat!"
Su Qingchen immediately got a stick and picked out the roasted 'stick' with a burnt skin.
Su Qingyue poked it with his hand. It was so hot that he quickly stuffed his finger into his mouth, trying to eliminate the pain on his finger with saliva, "Ruanruan, can this really be eaten?"
Su Ruanruan also had a skeptical attitude towards this burnt thing.
Is this really edible?
"Little princess, of course this is edible. Just peel off the outer skin to reveal the meat inside. It's sweet, fragrant and delicious."
Grandpa Tu said that he was greedy.
He was trapped in this unfortunate idol, and he hadn't tasted human food for a long time!
Ruanruan pointed at the burnt black skin and said, "Pull this skin aside first."
Su Qingchen carefully tore open the outer skin, revealing the white flesh inside, and then glanced at Mrs. Su.
"Milk, look."
"Yo." Ms. Su didn't expect that the meat wrapped in the burnt black skin would be such white meat. She broke off a section and took a bite. The taste was like a yam, but a little sweeter than a yam.
“Yummy, this is really good!”
Everyone else also took a section.
Su Qingchen opened the section in his hand, and after blowing it to cool it down a bit, he put it into Su Ruanruan's mouth, "Ruanruan, you can eat it too."
"Um!"
Su Ruanruan opened her mouth obediently and took the piece of yam into her mouth. The sweet, soft and glutinous texture was so delicious!
Her eyes were bright, "Wow, it's delicious!"
After eating one yam, six people were 30% full.
Mrs. Su pulled Su Ruanruan and asked: "Ruanruan, tell Nai, where did you get this 'stick'?"
"Milk, it's not a stick, it's a yam! Ruanruan will take you there, there are many, many more yams like this there!" Su Ruanruan walked in front with great pride.
Mrs. Su looked at her little figure, but she was very excited in her heart.
Her sweet granddaughter is truly a blessed person!
God would not let her go hungry.
No, everyone was out of food, so she immediately found a lot of yams.
With these yams, are you still worried about not being full?
Not long after, several people arrived at their destination.
Su Ruoran pointed at a piece and said, "Milk, there are a lot of yams buried under here. Let's dig them all out together!"
"So much?" Mrs. Su looked around. This piece of flat land was at least three or four acres. If all the yams were buried underneath, how many kilograms would it cost?
I’m afraid some weigh several thousand kilograms!
Enough for the whole village to eat until next spring!
Mrs. Su said excitedly: "Let's go back quickly and notify Li Zheng!"
Several people rushed back to the shelter immediately, and Mrs. Su came directly to Lao Lizheng, "Our family found a large amount of food!"
"What?"
Several other women who were busy at work also came over.
"Is there still food on this mountain?"
"We've all been wandering around the mountain, let alone food. It's hard to see even a bird. Old Su family, don't fool us."
"What am I doing to deceive you? If you don't believe it, just come with me and have a look! This was discovered by my Ruanruan! My Ruanruan is really a lucky little star!"
Mrs. Su happily held Su Ruanruan in her arms, fearing that her feet would get sore from walking too much.
Discovering food is a big deal!
It is still a major event that affects the lives of the whole village!
With food, they can survive until next spring.
Lao Lizheng made a decisive decision, "Let's go and have a look!"
Everyone went up the mountain with the old Su family.
Mrs. Su led everyone to the edge of the flat land, "There is food hidden in here!"
Everyone looked left and right, but they didn't see any food hidden here.
"I'm talking about Old Su's family, where is this food? Don't lie!"
Su Ruanruan struggled to get off Mrs. Su's body, "Milk, let me do it."
Although she is only four years old, she already speaks in a very organized manner and enunciates clearly.
"This yam is buried in this field. Brother, dig out another one like before!"
This land is sandy soil. After Su Qinghe dug a hole, he quickly dug out another thick and long yam from the hole!
The villagers were still full of doubts when they saw the 'stick' in Su Qinghe's hand.
Is this stick edible?
Su Ruoruan said calmly: "You all come over and take a look. Although this thing looks like a stick, after peeling off the skin, there is white flesh inside. It can be roasted and eaten directly in the fire.
It’s so sweet!”
These people gently scraped the skin of the sticks. After scraping off the skin, the white flesh was indeed exposed inside.
You can pinch it with your hands and it's still juicy and tender.
