I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 16 Discovering Beet
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, big brother, second brother, do you think my popcorn is delicious?" Xu Congyi asked.
"It's delicious, delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious," Xu Cong'an answered first.
"How about I sell it?" Xu Congyi still hoped to sell the popcorn and do business.
"I think it's a bit difficult," Xu Congwen, who had been silent, said, "Although this popcorn is delicious, it is coated with sugar. Ordinary people can't afford it. We can't afford to rent a shop. Rich people probably won't come to buy food from the stall that they have never seen before."
After listening to Xu Congwen's words, Xu Congyi also realized that she was too impatient. Although she could buy sugar freely in the space, she had to have a clear way. The price of sugar was very high in that era. The Xu family had to hang the little brown sugar on the beams carefully, for fear that it would get damp or be eaten by mice.
Xu Congyi was a little frustrated, but he soon calmed down. All things are difficult at the beginning. He couldn't just think of something to eat and go out and sell it to satisfy his family's cravings.
Xu Cong handed the remaining brown sugar to his mother and asked her to put it away. Li Dahua was a little confused when she saw that only a little brown sugar was used. The popcorn was sweet, which didn't seem like it was made with only a little brown sugar. She was about to open her mouth but swallowed it again.
"Forget it, maybe the god's way only requires a little sugar," Li Dahua comforted herself.
With two rabbits at home, Xu Cong'an volunteered to cut grass for the rabbits every day, while the job of cutting grass for the chickens was given to Xu Congwen. Xu Cong'an picked up his backpack and was about to go out, when he suddenly remembered something and ran to Xu the hunter.
"Dad, can the carrots we have be used to feed rabbits?"
"Yes, of course!" Hunter Xu responded with a smile.
"Pig radish?" Xu Congyi walked up to the two of them and asked, "What is a pig radish?"
"It's the radish for feeding pigs. Every household here grows it for pigs to eat. This pig radish is also frost-resistant. Other vegetables will not be frozen in winter, but this one will survive. And piglets love to eat it!" Xu Cong'an answered first.
Xu Cong looked around and found that the Xu family had a pigpen, but she did not see any pigs.
"Do we also grow pigs at home? But I see there are no pigs at home?" Xu Congyi asked puzzledly.
Hunter Xu wanted to say something but stopped himself, but after thinking for a while he smiled and said that he had nothing to do anyway, so he just planted the pigs for fun. But seeing Hunter Xu's reaction, Xu knew that he must have sold the pigs to treat her illness.
Xu Congyi volunteered to dig pig radishes with Xu Congan. She already had her own guesses about the pig radishes.
When they arrived at the beet field, Xu Congyi was very excited. She quickly squatted down and started digging with her second brother. They did not go home until both backpacks were full. Xu Cong'an was afraid that Xu Congyi could not carry the backpack, so he stood behind her to help her hold the backpack.
Fortunately, the pig and radish field was not far from their home, and the two of them arrived home in a short while.
After arriving home, Xu Congyi hurriedly took out one and washed it carefully with well water. Then he knocked it hard against the well. The radish split into two halves, revealing its white flesh. Xu Congyi became excited and took a bite directly.
"Hmm! Sweet!" Xu Congyi was sure that this pig radish was beet.
Xu Cong'an, who was standing by, widened his eyes with a look of disbelief. When he reacted, Xu Congyi had already taken another bite.
"Sister! Anyone who eats this is not a human being!!"
"What?"
"Oh no! I mean the ones eating this are pigs!"
"what?"
"Oh my! Only pigs eat this"
Xu Congyi: ...·That’s very well said. Don’t say it again in the future.
Despite the fuss, Xu Congyi still explained to her second brother why she ate pig radish.
"Brother, in the book that the immortal gave me, there are many ways to make sugar, and using beets, or pig radish, is one of them."
"What? Pig radish can be used to make sugar?!" Xu Cong'an still couldn't believe it.
Seeing that his second brother still had doubts, Xu Congyi broke off a piece of beet and motioned Xu Cong'an to take a bite. Xu Cong'an took a bite reluctantly and then looked at Xu Congyi in surprise.
"Sister! You know what, it's so sweet!"
"Yeah, I didn't lie to you." Xu Congyi raised his head happily, and there was an even greater surprise. Xu Congyi discovered that there were red beets among the beets he picked. Red beets have very strong dyeing ability and can be made into beetroot powder for long-term preservation. It is very good for making pastries in the future.
