So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day
Chapter 19 Beating You Is Not a Light Thing
Sui He saw so many people coming to see him, and stood up without any surprise. She knew why they were looking for her. This kind of food had not been introduced here at present, so it was normal that they didn't know it.
I'm not sure if it's poisonous or edible, so I have to ask someone who knows about it.
"Village chief, this is sweet potato. It looks very similar to cassava, but it is sweeter and more delicate than cassava. In addition, it is red in color, so I call it sweet potato." Sui He walked forward, picked up a sweet potato and explained in detail.
"This sweet potato is very big and filling. I just ate a small one and I was full. The leaves are edible, too. The yield is very high. One vine can produce five or six fruits this big. With these things, we should not be short of food in the short term."
Father Lin picked up a sweet potato and looked at it carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious. He realized that this could very likely solve their food shortage problem during this period.
Not only that, if they find a way to grow this thing, with such a high yield, and even in such a drought, then I can't imagine what will happen next.
Father Lin did not dare to think further, but the people present were not shrewd people. They easily understood the literal meaning of Sui He and were all shocked.
"If these sweet potatoes are really as you said, then with these sweet potatoes, we won't have to worry about going hungry in the short term or in the future." Father Lin said excitedly.
"But how do you know so clearly?" Father Lin wanted to ask. He had to be cautious when facing new food, especially such a magical food.
"My guess"
"????" Father Lin's face was filled with question marks. What are you playing?
"I went up the mountain today and saw some rabbits digging them up to eat. There were also a lot of wild boar footprints around. I walked over out of curiosity, but the rabbits ran away when they saw me.
I walked closer and discovered the plants. I thought, if rabbits can eat them, then we humans should be able to eat them too, so I dug them all out.
Sui He said slowly the reason he had thought of at the beginning. Anyway, they couldn't catch the rabbit, so who could know whether it was true or not?
"After digging them all out, I discovered that they were very productive and smelled really good. I couldn't resist eating one."
"What? You actually ate it? Why are you so greedy? Can you just eat something you don't know?" When Father Lin heard what Sui He said, he also looked anxious.
The other villagers in Linjia Village were also shocked as they looked at the ferocious Suihe in front of them.
Sui He observed the expressions of the people around him and found that most of them were looking at him with concern, so he felt relieved.
"I thought that if the rabbit was fine, I would be fine too." Sui He scratched his head and laughed, "Besides, I'm fine now. If something happened, would I still be alive and well?"
After hearing Sui He's words, the villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, since this thing is edible, let's quickly share it." Father Lin said, "However, this thing is newly discovered after all, so everyone should be careful and eat a small amount first to see if there is any discomfort in the body."
The villagers heard this and smiled with hope. They all came forward to check. If the village chief hadn't stopped them, they would have eaten it directly.
Everyone swarmed over and gathered in front of the baskets, discussing how to divide them. Although these things looked like a lot, there were also many people, so they could only get a few. Everyone looked at each other, and everyone wanted to get more. After all, no one wanted to go hungry.
"Tsk tsk tsk, seeing how much you guys crave it, I don't know if it's edible or not. Don't let someone poison you to death. There's no one to save you in this wilderness."
When the villagers of Linjia Village were happily discussing how to divide the sweet potatoes, someone started to make sarcastic remarks. The one who made sarcastic remarks was the daughter-in-law of Erlaizi in the village. She was lazy and liked to gossip about other people. The villagers didn't like her.
"Huang Cuihua, you can't talk, can you shut up? Didn't you hear what the Chen brothers said? This is edible, but he has already eaten it? What are you talking about?" The aunt who followed the second grandmother up the mountain hurriedly spoke up.
Huang Cuihua was not convinced after being criticized: "I said you have a grain family, have you been drugged by someone? Did you see him eat it with your own eyes or something? We are from the same village after all, how can I harm you? Others may not be able to do that."
Huang Cuihua seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized: "They won't use you to test the poison, right? Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Although she didn't say the rest, everyone present understood.
"This..." Aunt Youliang hesitated when she heard this. She had indeed never seen Suihe eat this thing. She was so excited that she finally came across a piece of food.
"See, I told you, this stuff is definitely not as good as he said. He might be taking advantage of you." Seeing that the grain lady didn't say anything and looked hesitant, Huang Cuihua immediately became excited: "These days, who is so well-off that they don't hide their grain and are willing to give so much to you? Dream on."
"That's enough. If you don't believe me, I do. If you don't eat it, I will. Anyway, I believe in the Chen family." Aunt Liu walked forward with a sullen face, took out a sweet potato from her basket, and stared at Huang Cuihua viciously. "Just shut your stinky mouth. If you dare to say another word, I'll tear your mouth apart."
"Hey, Aunt Liu, I'm just kindly reminding you, you can't be partial to him just because he saved your grandson," Huang Cuihua saw that it was Aunt Liu who was speaking, and when she heard Aunt Liu say that, she was not afraid, but became more excited.
"Besides, did he really save your grandson? What if he was in collusion with the traffickers? There were so many of us, how come she was the only one who saw us and even chased after us? Is he that kind? And there were four people on the other side, how did she get the child back?"
Huang Cuihua became more and more excited as she spoke, and she was completely oblivious to the darkening face of Liu Saozi. When she heard what Huang Cuihua said, Liu Saozi went up and slapped her without saying a word. She slapped her so hard that several finger marks immediately appeared on Huang Cuihua's face.
"How dare you hit me?" Huang Cuihua was stunned by the slap. When she came to her senses, she was furious and immediately rushed forward to fight with Liu Saozi.
"What's wrong with hitting you? I've already hit you lightly. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you again." Aunt Liu was not afraid either, and she looked like she would beat her again if she dared to talk nonsense again.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, several women around them hurried to stop them. However, because Huang Cuihua had a bad reputation in the village, everyone basically tried to stop her. If she dared to raise her hand, the people around her would immediately step forward to stop her from fighting.
Soon the noise here attracted the attention of other people present.
"What's wrong with you? What are you making so much noise for?" Hearing the noise, Old Man Lin walked forward and looked at the messy scene in front of him. His head felt dizzy. What was Huang Cuihua doing?
