Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband
Chapter 46 Digging sweet potatoes
Shen Nuo walked to the plant and dug the ground a few times with a small hoe. Soon, big sweet potatoes were dug out.
"It's sweet potato. You can eat it. It's food."
"Let me dig, and you just watch."
Qin Yan didn't care what it was, as long as Shen Nuo said he wanted to dig it, he would dig it.
But Qin Hao and Qin You, who were running over, heard it clearly.
"What? Can I eat this?"
"Nuoge'er, is this really food?"
Shen Nuo asked Qin Yan to continue digging for other things, and then turned to the others and said:
"Yes, this is called sweet potato, it is edible and very filling. Come and dig it up, there are still a lot of them here."
Sweet potato is a vine-growing plant that usually grows in patches.
There are no humans digging in the mountains and forests, so there are many of them.
After hearing what Shen Nuo said, the villagers came over with shovels and hoes and started digging without any hesitation.
Since listening to Shen Nuo's advice these days, they have collected a lot of herbs and avoided many dangers.
Now, they believe whatever Shen Nuo says, and sometimes even Qin Liang and Lin Yuanshan come to ask for his opinion.
Since Shen Nuo said it was food, then it must be.
Otherwise, Qin Yan would not have gone to dig.
Moreover, looking at the sweet potatoes Qin Yan dug out, each one was as big as an adult's fist. It would be great if they could really be eaten.
Qin Liang, Lin Yuanshan and others also started digging. There were many members of the Qin family, so only the men came to dig, while the boys and women picked up the trash at the back.
Shen Nuo also took a sack and picked up the sweet potatoes that Qin Yan had dug out.
In a short while, half of the sack was filled.
The others were digging without even raising their heads. Even Qin Ruan, who had just recovered, followed behind Qin Xiang to pick up the trash.
He looked at Shen Nuo with some frustration, and when he saw that Shen Nuo didn't look at him, he became even angrier.
It was clearly him who tricked me into eating wild pepper last time, but as a result, even though I suffered so much, so many people still believed in Shen Nuo.
Now no one in the village calls Shen Nuo a fool anymore. Instead, they say Qin Ruan is the fool. Some people even deliberately run up to him and say: I don't play with fools.
This made Qin Ruan very angry, and now no one wants to play with him anymore.
It’s so frustrating just to think about it, watching those people trying to curry favor with Shen Nuo.
Even now he has to dig sweet potatoes, but he doesn't want to miss it. If this thing is really edible, wouldn't it be a loss?
But he still hated Shen Nuo. This Shen Nuo was really too much.
There are several hundred villagers in Yunzhu Village, and they are all scattered around digging sweet potatoes on the ground.
Finally, we decided to stop here and dig up the sweet potatoes before leaving.
The place here is very large, and everyone is not fighting over it. They are all digging on their own.
No one was chatting, and many children followed the adults to pick up the trash.
Soon it was time to cook lunch.
It just so happens that I’ll try how to cook this sweet potato to make it delicious at noon.
So Shen Nuo talked to Aunt Qin and Uncle Qin about several ways to cook sweet potatoes.
"Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw or cooked. We usually boil them in water if conditions permit. We can also make them into dishes or roast them..."
As Shen Nuo spoke, the other villagers gathered around to listen.
Soon, more and more people came.
Aunt Qin simply put the pot on the table and started a fire on the spot.
Shen Nuo quickly understood what she meant and picked up the sweet potatoes to teach them how to eat them.
"If you have the conditions, wash it with water. If you don't have water, just use a knife to peel off the skin and you can eat it."
He simply peeled the sweet potato with a knife, then took a bite, with a crisp sound coming from his mouth.
It made everyone hungry and they wanted to have a bite themselves.
Shen Nuo didn't eat much before giving the sweet potato to Qin Yan. Qin Yan didn't mind and took it and ate the rest.
The fire started, Shen Nuo washed the sweet potatoes and put them in the pot, added some water, and then continued to add firewood.
Then he threw a freshly dug sweet potato directly into the fire.
Everyone was stunned by his action for a moment, and someone couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Nuo, why are you throwing this directly into the fire?"
Shen Nuo picked up a stick beside him, put it into the fire and stirred something, saying:
"This sweet potato really can't be roasted directly, so you have to bury it under the charcoal fire and cover it with charcoal ash. After a while, poke it with a stick. If it's soft, you can eat it."
Everyone was stunned.
"I see. Then it's more convenient to roast or eat sweet potatoes raw."
"Yes, if you cook it, you need water."
Shen Nuo then said:
"You can eat it raw, but don't eat too much, or you'll get diarrhea. You should cook it if possible. You can also use sweet potatoes to make porridge, soup, or pancakes."
"Okay, then we'll listen to Brother Nuo."
"That's great. We can eat sweet potatoes to fill our stomachs next."
"Yes, everyone go back and try to do it. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me."
After Shen Nuo finished speaking, everyone thanked him and then went back to cook according to the method Shen Nuo had just taught them.
Soon, the aroma of boiled sweet potatoes wafted around, among which the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes was even stronger.
Shen Nuo was greedy.
He took out the sweet potatoes that he had just put into the fire, and the aroma of the sweet potatoes came out instantly.
He couldn't wait to take it, but a big hand grabbed his hand.
Qin Yan's deep and pleasant voice sounded:
"Tang, let me help you get it."
Qin Yan picked up the sweet potato, it didn't seem hot at all, but it was obviously just taken out of the fire.
Shen Nuo couldn't help but say:
"This is too hot, put it down and wait until it cools down."
"It's not hot. Are you worried that I'll get hurt?"
Qin Yan said this while peeling the sweet potatoes.
Shen Nuo turned his head and said uncomfortably:
"Who's worried about you? I'm worried about burning my mouth when eating sweet potatoes."
"Really? Then it won't be hot if I blow it cool."
As he said this, he actually blew air at the steaming sweet potatoes seriously.
Shen Nuo didn't know what to say for a moment and could only try to grab it again.
"Give it to me, it's not hot anymore, I can blow it myself."
Unexpectedly, Qin Yan raised his hand:
"Then, considering that I dug the sweet potatoes and helped you get the roasted sweet potatoes, can you please be magnanimous and not be angry?"
Qin Yan whispered, his eyes becoming pitiful.
Shen Nuo couldn't bear to see him like this. His anger had long since subsided, but he didn't know how to talk to him, so he could only say:
"You said you couldn't do this or that, but you're not keeping your word."
"Nono, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will make delicious food for you in the future..."
Qin Yan said this, apologizing humbly and coaxing, but he didn't say that he would never do it again.
Shen Nuo felt that Qin Yan should really know that he was wrong, but at the moment he did not realize that anything was wrong. By the time he reacted later, he had been fooled countless times.
