Chapter 56 Red Sweet Potatoes
The leaves were quickly burned away, leaving only a wisp of smoke floating straight.The male and female captains pulled the ashes aside with wooden sticks, and the burnt red mud was exposed, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes became stronger.Everyone consciously lined up, with the small ones at the front and the big ones at the end.

"Xiaoxiao is the smallest, I'll give it to you first." Male captain Guo Cong pulled me out of the team.

"Here, smile, this is what I promised you just now." Guo Lele quickly found the red sweet potato that is only available at her home. The red sweet potato has a pink skin and is easy to find among a pile of white-skinned sweet potatoes.

"This is too big, I can't eat it by myself." I had already looked at it intently, and there was only one red sweet potato, but Guo Lele gave it to me now.He pointed to the smallest white-skinned sweet potato among them. "I want that, can I?"

"No, no." Guo Lele took the wild tree leaves from the friend who helped divide the sweet potatoes, wrapped the hot red sweet potatoes with one movement, and stuffed them into my hand.Then pull me to the side of the team and let the next one take sweet potatoes.

Holding this red sweet potato that was bigger than a fish head in both hands, I glanced at the friends in the team. No one showed any dissatisfaction, but the small movements of swallowing and licking their mouths showed that they all wanted to eat it.Maybe everyone doesn't know how precious this red sweet potato is, but I know, not to mention that my father mentioned to me that this sweet potato is a new variety cultivated by college students in my grandmother's village. It has not been widely planted and is going to apply for a patent.But you will know how delicious it will be if it becomes a must-have gift for the whole town and the whole city in the future. (PS: My cousin does have this kind of sweet potato in her hometown, which was cultivated after 2000. There are special stores in her hometown to sell it. In 2008, a box of 90 catties cost [-] yuan. It is not clear now.)
"Little sister-in-law, can you give me this bamboo slice?" I went to a family next to the grain drying field with sweet potatoes in my hand and asked my little sister-in-law who was weaving vegetable baskets at the door.Vegetable baskets are used to store winter vegetables planted after the second season of rice. There are two families in the town who specialize in harvesting vegetables and transporting them to the north. There is a great demand for them.Most of them are green beans, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, etc., but because of this, there are more vegetable baskets needed, and everyone makes vegetable baskets. The price of vegetable baskets is [-] cents. It is very troublesome, not only laborious, but also skillful.However, for the peasant masses who can't earn a few yuan a month, it is already very attractive.So every household starts to weave vegetable baskets in winter.

"It's Qin Xiao, that's fine." The little sister-in-law is a new daughter-in-law, her voice is very soft, and she will blush when she sees me asking her.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." I was thinking about my own business, picked up the thinly sliced, white bamboo and walked towards the captain.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing with the bamboo slices? The sweet potatoes are delicious when they are hot." Guo Lele was eating the sweet potatoes in his hand, and saw that I was still holding the sweet potatoes and said.

"Captain, I can't eat such a big one by myself. I want to share it with everyone, can I?" I watched her eat the sweet potato in two or three strokes, so I quickly handed her the sweet potato in my hand, and then handed her the bamboo slices.

"You are really, very sensible!" Guo Lele also saw what I meant.He hurriedly turned his head and called to the male captain who was squatting with his friends to eat sweet potatoes, "Guo Cong, let everyone line up. Hurry up."

"What's the matter?" Guo Cong finished eating the sweet potatoes in embarrassment, then asked everyone to line up and came over to ask.

"Xiaoxiao wants to share this big sweet potato with everyone." Guo Lele handed the big sweet potato to Guo Cong, and she began to break the bamboo slices in her hand. "Come one by one, let's start sharing red sweet potatoes."

Guo Cong looked at me, he knew that Qin Xiao was Guo Dong's baby cousin, he didn't like to talk, and would only be Guo Dong's and Guo Liang's little tail every time.Now take a closer look, it looks quite cute, like a jade doll in vain.

"Guo Cong, why are you in a daze! Hurry up and break open the sweet potatoes!" Guo Lele shouted loudly when he saw Guo Cong staring at me blankly after breaking the bamboo slices.Guo Cong laughed naively twice, and broke it hard, and it was broken by him, and he was not afraid of being burned.The red sweet potatoes with distinct colors are exposed, and there is a circle of purple in the middle, and the purple is surrounded by light yellow, and then white. This is the first time everyone has seen such a beautiful sweet potato.In fact, it is not that there is no red sweet potato, but the color is not so bright and the layers are distinct.

Everyone was given a spoonful of red sweet potatoes dug with bamboo slices, and ate them in one bite, leaving only the fragrance of sweet potatoes in the mouth; more is to lick them carefully like maltose, to feel the flavor of this novel sweet potato. sweet waxy.Guo Lele left a small piece for me, and I was carried on the back by my big cousin, and I ate it happily.

I think the taste of this baked sweet potato is really good, and everyone eats it together, so the cold winter will not feel cold.

(PS: I don’t know if you still remember the feeling of playing games when you were young? I still remember the winter when I was a child, I loved playing table tennis and badminton with my friends in the ancestral hall. The feeling of taking turns and waiting to play is really great OK.)
