I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

After building the snowman, Xu Congyi felt a strong desire in her heart. She especially wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes. The warm and sweet taste kept circling in her mind, making her swallow her saliva.

Xu Congyi quietly walked to his grandmother and told her that he wanted to eat sweet potatoes.

"Oh! We have no sweet potatoes left at home. We made sweet potato flour before, but we made a lot and all the sweet potatoes at home are gone. Do you want to eat some now? Then I'll ask your grandfather to go to the city to see if there are any for sale." Xu's mother was about to go out.

"No need, grandma. It's in my treasure. Have you forgotten? My treasure has everything you need." After all, Grandpa Shen and Shen Xiao were at home, and she was afraid of exposing the space, so she informed her grandma in advance.

Xu Congyi bought a very sweet variety of sweet potatoes from the space, and specially bought a relatively large one. She planned to throw the washed sweet potatoes directly into the stove pit and slowly roast them. Just by imagining the sweet potatoes being slowly roasted in the fire, she felt as if the fragrance had already drifted into her nose, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The fire in the kitchen went out, so Xu Congyi carried the washed sweet potatoes to the old couple's room. There was a kang in the room, which was just right for heating while roasting the potatoes. It was warm during the day, so the fire was not very strong. Xu Congyi placed the sweet potatoes next to the fire and carefully turned them over with an iron rod to ensure that each side was heated evenly.

"You got into Tsinghua, he got into Peking University, and I baked sweet potatoes!" Xu Congyi muttered to herself after thinking about this. She thought that no one would hear her since everyone was chatting on the kang, but Shen Xiao, who was sitting outside, heard it. He knew that sweet potatoes were sweet potatoes, but what did those two words mean? Tsinghua? Peking University? He felt that Xu Congyi was more and more mysterious. When he was a child, his father searched for famous chefs all over the world, and he had seen and eaten countless delicacies. However, Xu Congyi, the daughter of a hunter, could come up with many delicacies that he had never seen before. Wen Hao said that the most popular peach blossom cake sold in his pastry shop a few years ago was also made by Xu Congyi. Thinking of this, he looked at Xu Congyi with a hint of inquiry.

As time went by, the sweet potatoes began to emit an alluring aroma, a light sweet fragrance that was not strong. It was the sugar in the sweet potatoes that was slowly released during the baking process. It was a natural, simple sweetness. She couldn't help but think of her childhood. When she was a child, there was a black stove at home. After wiping the stove clean, she could bake buns and steamed buns until the skin became hard and yellow. It was a mixture of flour and paste, which smelled very good. Occasionally, she would bake some sweet potatoes and potatoes, carefully peel off the skin, and reveal the soft and glutinous meat inside. The roasted charred potatoes, dipped in a little salt noodles, had a crunchy and soft bite. It had both the sweetness of the potatoes themselves and the salty fragrance of the salt noodles. It was crunchy and soft, and very delicious.

Slowly, the sweet smell becomes stronger and stronger, mixed with the unique burnt aroma produced during the baking process. This burnt aroma is not the smell of burning, but a mouth-watering aroma. It is the sweet potato skin that gradually becomes brown and crispy under the scorching flame, releasing an irresistible aroma. This burnt aroma and sweet aroma are intertwined to form a unique and charming flavor.

Xu Cong'an couldn't sit still anymore, so she volunteered to help Xu Congyi bake the dumplings. It was almost time for lunch, and Xu Congyi planned to go to the kitchen to get the dumplings, so she handed them over to her second brother. She specifically told him not to add more fire, as they would taste better if baked slowly over low heat.

Li Dahua followed her daughter to the kitchen, and the others also offered to help. Li Dahua said that cooking dumplings was very simple and did not require so many people.

The dumplings were made with the most common pork and green onion filling, because the most common filling is the least likely to go wrong. It was quick to cook dumplings. Xu Congyi taught his mother the steps to cook dumplings. Put the dumplings in after the water boils. Do not stir the dumplings when they are just put in, as it is easy to break the skin. After a while, push them gently with the back of a spoon to prevent the dumplings from sticking together. After the water boils, add a large bowl of cold water. Repeat this three times and you can fish them out. There are many people eating dumplings, so today they are cooked in two pots. Before the water boils, Xu Congyi took the bowls and chopsticks, vinegar, chili oil he fried himself, and the most important pickled vegetables pickled by Li Dahua to the main room. When the dumplings were cooked, Xu Congyi shouted to the room, and everyone came out to help serve them. Several large plates of dumplings filled the table.

When the dumplings were served, Xu Congyi asked everyone to eat first, and she took a basket to Xu's mother's bedroom to see how the sweet potatoes were baked. She used a skewer to pick out the larger ones, let them dry for a while, and then broke them apart. They were fully cooked, so she used the skewer to pick out the remaining ones and put them in the basket. The freshly baked sweet potatoes were still hot even after being dried for a while, so Xu Congyi put all the sweet potatoes in, rubbed his fingers, and touched his ears.

When she came back with the sweet potatoes, she found that everyone was waiting for her and no one had picked up their chopsticks. Xu Congyi quickly sat down and let everyone eat. She also picked up a few dumplings and ate them first, and then started to share the sweet potatoes with everyone.

"The sweet potatoes at home are from before, and they are relatively large, so let's each have half first. If they taste good, we'll continue roasting them in the afternoon."

Xu Congyi only ate a few dumplings because she wanted to save some space for the roasted sweet potatoes. She gently peeled off the skin of the roasted sweet potatoes, and the soft, warm sweet potato flesh appeared before her eyes. She took a bite, and the dense and delicate taste, accompanied by a faint sweet and burnt aroma, spread in her mouth, making her squint her eyes in satisfaction.

Is it really that delicious? Xu Congwen saw his sister eating it with relish, so he took a bite himself. Hmm? Why is this sweet potato so sweet? Is it really a sweet potato?

"This sweet potato is sweeter than sugar!"

If this was said by the youngest son, Xu Liehu felt that it might not be credible, because the youngest son always spoke in an exaggerated manner. However, since this was said by the eldest son, it should be very sweet. Sure enough, when he tasted it, it was really sweet. However, he also knew that this must have been bought from the treasures of his precious daughter, so he immediately covered it up.

"Uncle Shen, Xiao'er, you two should try it too. These are the sweet potato seeds I bought from foreigners before. They are so sweet." He directly said that he bought the seeds from foreigners, so his credibility was very high.

Old Man Shen and Shen Xiao were already very curious about the dumplings. After hearing what Xu the Hunter said, they picked up the sweet potatoes and tasted them. They were indeed sweeter than sugar! Moreover, the sweet potatoes were not dry at all, but soft and sticky, and they could be eaten in a few bites. Sweet potatoes have a strong sense of satiety, so each person only got half a piece, so that they could taste the flavor without taking up too much space in their stomach to eat the dumplings.
