Chapter 462 Eating Sweet Potatoes

Soon Bai Dazhuang opened the large mahogany box containing sweet potatoes.

"Sister, take a look, is this the sweet potato you want?" Bai Sanzhuang carefully unwrapped the oiled paper, and took out two round, round, dark red fruits with soil.

Xiao Fuyuan held it in her hand, her eyes lit up.

Yes, it is indeed sweet potatoes.

The third brother is so good that he can actually bring sweet potatoes across the ocean.

"It's a sweet potato." Xiao Fuyuan turned the sweet potato over and over to look at it. The fresh big sweet potato was not damaged or moldy.

"This is sweet potato? Auntie, can this be eaten?" Da Lang asked curiously.

Before Xiao Fuyuan could answer, Bai Sanzhuang said with a smile: "You can eat it, it's quite delicious."

Bai Sanzhuang has eaten it several times, it is delicious and sweet, and it is very hungry.

He thought that his sister must have seen the taste described in Ah Zhen's book and wanted to eat it, so he asked him to look for it.

"Xiao Yuanbao, how do you know about this Nanyang thing?" Bai Muban was a little suspicious, not because he doubted his best friend's intelligence, but because he wondered whether this thing would be poisonous.

"I read it in Brother Ah Zhen's book, saying that this thing is called sweet potato, and it can be eaten as a meal." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile. Take a bite in the cold winter, not to mention how beautiful it is.

But the third brother only brought one box. If she ate it, how could he let the eldest brother cultivate it.

"Girl is careful, she can memorize these things while reading." Bai Muban said, "But this is the first time we've seen this stuff, so it's better to be careful when eating."

Although Bai Sanzhuang had eaten it and thought it tasted good.

But Bai Muban was still a little worried. He decided that if his daughter had to try it, the rest of the family would try it first, and then let her eat it if there was no problem.

"The third child has eaten it, what does it taste like?"

The old lady Bai looked suspicious, how could this melon-like thing be used as food?

Aren't the grains all wheat, rice, and sorghum, with grains that come down in a pinch?

How can this round thing be food?

Just like pumpkin, it can also be cooked and eaten, and no one has seen pumpkin as food.

"It needs to be cooked and eaten. It's a little sweet and a little noodle." Bai Sanzhuang said.

"Does this thing grow on trees or underground?" Xie Chuntao asked.

"It grows underground, like a peanut, with vines on it, and when it is ripe, it also looks like a peanut, with many knots on one vine." Bai Sanzhuang said with gestures.

The family expressed their doubts. With such a large fruit, can a litter produce as many peanuts?
Bai Dazhuang's eyes glowed after hearing this.

It's like giving peanuts. There are a dozen of such big things on a single vine. He has never seen such a crop.

In addition, my younger sister just said that it can be eaten as food, so if it is really planted, how many people will one acre of land support?

So when it comes to drought, this kind of food can save many lives.

"Is it true that one vine can grow a lot?" Bai Dazhuang asked excitedly. There was no way. Bai Dazhuang liked to serve the crops the most on weekdays, and he got excited whenever he encountered a topic related to crops.

"It's the real brother." Xiao Fuyuan nodded.

Bai Dazhuang's eyes were straightened, and he asked again: "Then... is this kind of sweet potato seeded or planted?"

His intuition told him that such a big thing didn't seem like a seed sower.

But not necessarily, the watermelon is so big, don't also sow seeds.

"I don't know about this. When I went to Nalu Island, I only saw what was planted in other people's fields, and I didn't ask what kind of plant it was."

It's not Bai Sanzhuang's fault. At that time, his sister only asked him to find sweet potatoes, but didn't ask him how to grow them.

He also doesn't have an unusual love for growing crops like his older brother.

Bai Dazhuang was a little disappointed.

"Brother, I know how to plant it." Xiao Fuyuan said, "Brother Ah Zhen wrote in the book that this sweet potato is a seed, but it cannot be directly planted in the ground. It needs to be germinated, and then the seedlings are evenly planted in the ground. Said to plant in spring."

Xiao Fuyuan patted the sweet potato.

Of course, these were not written in Ah Zhen's book.

It was what she saw when she followed her mother to her grandmother's house in the countryside to "experience rural life". When she was young, she was led by her grandmother to plant the seedlings in the field herself.

As for Yunmiao, it is naturally the term for growing vegetables that she learned from her elder brother and grandma.

Bai Dazhuang is indeed a master of crops, once he heard his sister's description, he got the essence and knew what was going on.

"Didn't my daughter say she wants to eat this sweet potato? Why are you discussing how to grow it?" Bai Muban looked at his eldest son with a vigilant expression, trying to trick the "seeds" from the daughter's hand.

"I brought a box this time. If my elder brother wants to grow it, I will bring it to you next time. This box is for my younger sister." Bai Sanzhuang said.

Xiao Fuyuan shook her head, she really wanted to eat sweet potatoes.

Baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato porridge, honey sweet potato chips... just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

But saving lives with sweet potatoes is more important.

"Father, third brother, I think it's better for my elder brother to breed and plant these sweet potatoes as seeds. It's written in the book that sweet potatoes can be used as food, and a single vine can produce many, many, many lives. If there is another drought, how many lives will be saved. "Xiao Fuyuan looked at Bai Dazhuang and said.

Bai Dazhuang was very moved. After all, it was his sister who thought of being with him because of her caring.

He even felt that it was false that his sister wanted to eat sweet potatoes, but it was true that she begged him for seeds.

These words moved all the Bai family members.

"It's Xiao Yuanbao, so I thought so far at such a young age." Zhen sighed.

"If it's really like what my granddaughter said, this sweet potato can save many lives, then it's really a great contribution." The old lady Bai remembered how many lives were saved by the Yan millet last year.

If the sweet potato is really cultivated successfully, it can be regarded as a blessing for the little granddaughter.

"Brother, I'll give you all these sweet potatoes, so you can grow them." Xiao Fuyuan said.

It's just that she can't eat it this time, and when her eldest brother is successfully cultivated, she can eat it every day in the future.

"No, isn't there a big box here? I only need two." Bai Dazhuang said with a moved face.

"No, big brother, you can plant them all." Xiao Fuyuan insisted.

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were pushing back, Bai Muban thought for a while and said: "Well, since this thing can save lives, we will grow it. But after all, it was my daughter who asked the third child to bring it, so I will leave the two for my daughter to taste. The rest will be handed over to Da Zhuang for breeding."

Bai Muban made a final decision and was approved unanimously.

Bai Sanzhuang took out all the sweet potatoes in the box, checked them carefully, and found that none of them were bad, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he picked the two biggest ones and left them for his younger sister to eat, and gave all the rest to Bai Dazhuang.

"Third brother, how do you do this?" Xie Chuntao was carrying sweet potatoes, and she planned to make them for my sister-in-law right away.

"Sister-in-law, peel and cut into pieces to make porridge with rice, let's try it." Xiao Fuyuan said.

Dalang cheered for a while, they also want 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. The old lady Bai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the watermelon was not full of water.

Xie Chuntao cooked porridge with rice according to Xiao Fuyuan's request.

Soon, the sweet smell overflowed the kitchen and the yard.

After the porridge was ready, everyone shared a bowl. Of course, Xie Chuntao gave Xiaofu Yuan the most sweet potatoes.

Everyone held the bowl and took a sip curiously.

Sure enough, it is very sweet and delicious, much better than Yan millet.

"Third brother, your process of bringing sweet potatoes was not so smooth, right?" Xiao Fuyuan bit the sweet potato in small bites, and asked Bai Sanzhuang seriously.
