Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 60
Qin and others just happened to fill up their small backpacks and prepare to go back. When they saw He Jiuniang coming back, they didn't ask any questions and everyone went down the mountain together.

"Second sister-in-law, I found something good and I will show it to you when I get home!"

He Jiuniang acted very excited and seduced Mrs. Qin and the others. However, He Jiuniang's basket was covered with leaves, making it difficult for people to see what was inside.

Mrs. Yu had just finished cooking and was looking outside the thatched shed. When she saw them coming back, she waved: "Come back for dinner soon!"

"Sister-in-law, the third brother and sister said that she found something good in the mountains and she won't show it to us until she comes back. She will look at it first and then eat!"

Mrs. Qin just had the word "curious" written on her face. Even Ms. Sun who followed her looked at He Jiu Niang with a burning gaze, obviously telling He Jiu Niang to hurry up and stop showing off.

He Jiuniang didn't want to whet their appetite, so she put down the basket and pulled away the leaves covering it, revealing the yellow potatoes inside.

The potatoes of this era had not been improved and were very small, only as big as a child's fist.

"What is this?"

Mrs. Sun frowned, and Mrs. Yu also asked: "Wild vegetables?"

He Jiuniang nodded: "That's right, but this is different from ordinary wild vegetables. This is like food. It can fill the stomach and not make you hungry easily. After all, it looks like you are getting acquainted!"

Ordinary wild vegetables are eaten from the leaves, and the leaves shrink. In fact, eating them does not satisfy your stomach, and it cannot be eaten as a staple food. But this thing looks like a steamed bun, so it should be able to satisfy your hunger, right?
"How do you know? Have you seen it before?"

Mrs. Sun looked at a few small potatoes with some suspicion. She really didn't think they could be eaten casually.

"I haven't seen it, but I heard people talk about it when I was young. It seems that this thing was introduced from other countries, but I don't know how it got to the mountains. I heard that this thing is easy to grow and has a large yield. If we If we can plant it, there won’t be so many refugees in the future.”

He Jiuniang had already thought of her words, which were half true and half false, as long as she could convince the Lu family.

"Are you sure it can be eaten? Will it be poisonous?"

After all, Mr. Sun has lived for most of his life and is still very cautious.

He Jiuniang shook her head uncertainly: "I don't know either, it should be possible..."

She scratched her head guiltily and said, "Why don't you cook a few and let me taste them first, and if you are sure they are not poisonous, then everyone can eat them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped by Mr. Sun: "Do you really think you are the Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

So many people in the family didn't say anything, but she rushed to try the poison. What's not a big complaint?
He Jiuniang felt funny in her heart, but on the surface she still said aggrievedly: "I just looked at this thing, it's yellow, it doesn't look like it's poisonous~"

"The red mushrooms on the mountain don't look poisonous! Do you think anyone ate them without lying down?"

Sun scolded her mercilessly, making the people around her laugh non-stop.

He Jiuniang said: "Then I will give it to the two horses to try first!"

"You prodigal bitch!" Mrs. Sun grabbed her, "Don't you know that the two horses are worth much more than you? Why did you harm them?"

Yes, a horse can be sold for more than 50 taels, while the most expensive price for a person is only a dozen taels.

He Jiuniang pursed her lips, she was indeed a bit inferior to Ma Ha!

Just when He Jiuniang was about to ask what to do, Sun said decisively: "I will try!" At this time, everyone was shocked. Lu Guilan was the first to react, pulling Sun and almost crying: "Mom , there are so many of us, how can we let you try? I will try, I will try!"

Yu family and Qin family also expressed their opinions: "Yes, mother, it's our longevity to let you try it, let's go try it!"

Mrs. Sun looked at everyone very seriously: "Don't argue with me! My old lady has lived for most of her life, eating more salt than you eat rice. Now I see a big family living here peacefully, and I feel so sad." It completely fell down. What’s more, this thing is not necessarily poisonous!”

What Sun thought was that if this thing could really be used as a staple food, they would have a new way of living, and they would no longer be afraid of famine in the future.

Then it was all worth it for her!
He Jiuniang:......

Although I thought it was a bit funny, I was actually deeply touched by it.

Sun cursed her, but offered to try reading it herself.

Even though she knew that the potatoes were not poisonous at all, she still almost couldn't help but want to hug Sun.

This little old lady really feels like her mother.

Just as he was about to speak, Lianhua, who had gone out to take out the garbage, came back, ran to the adults, clenched his little fists, as if he had made some important decision: "Grandma, let me try! Grandma's family saved my life, I Don’t be afraid, let me repay grandma!”

She didn't even know what she was going to try, but after hearing that the adults seemed anxious and sad, she stood up immediately.

Anyway, her life was picked up. If it was really lost, it would be a bad fate for her, but if she could survive, she could continue to repay Grandma Lu's family.

"What did the child say?"

Mrs. Sun glared at her and said angrily: "You are a girl from the Qin family. If something happens to our Lu family, how do you want me to explain it to the Qin family? Don't say anything. Everyone, go and boil water first. Boil these things."

Mrs. Sun waved her hand and told everyone to do their own thing. Then she pulled He Jiuniang aside and quietly confessed: "The money is in the box under my pillow. If something really happens to me..."

He Jiu Niang never expected that Mrs. Sun would begin to explain her funeral affairs, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Stop! Mom, don't tell me this, I don't care! If something happens to you, I will take you with you The dog flew away and never came back!”

He Jiuniang deliberately teased her, making Mrs. Sun so angry that she wanted to twist her arm, but she still calmed down and said: "Don't make trouble, I'm serious to you! I know this family... Hey! The third daughter-in-law!"

He Jiuniang turned around and left without waiting for her to finish her flirtation. She was so angry that Mrs. Sun chased her out with her short legs.

At this time, the children who had gone out to herd horses with Old Man Lu also came back. Thinking they could eat, they all sat around the pot and watched eagerly.

After the water boiled, Mrs. Yu put some washed potatoes into the pot and boiled them. Everyone gathered around and didn't smell anything.

"Mom, what is this? Is it delicious?"

Leizi looked at the pot with some interest. Although this round thing had no taste, it looked very appetizing!
"My mother doesn't know, but your third aunt dug it back from the mountain."

Yu shook her head and stood in front of the children, fearing that some of them would be greedy and get into trouble.

The cooked ones were relatively tender and cooked quickly. He Jiu Niang said first, "Mom, I'll peel the skin for you before you eat it!"
