Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

Being looked at with expectant eyes by so many people, Ye Guo also felt a heavy sense of responsibility in his heart.

He also put down his chopsticks, raised his head and replied seriously, "Lotus root is the fruit of lotus leaf. In fact, there are two types of lotus leaves in the valley. One kind blooms and grows lotus pods, and the fruit is lotus seed."

"The other type has only lotus leaves but no lotus flowers, or very few lotus flowers. The lotus leaves that are rolled up and can't be opened have lotus root tips underneath, which will grow into lotus roots."

"If we go back to collect them in two months, not to mention the whole village, even three people in our village can eat them for two months."

"Lotus roots can also be made into lotus root powder and lotus root powder strips. After being made into lotus root powder strips, they can be stored for several years."

After hearing this, the entire Ye family fell into silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

After a long time, Old Lady Ye's mouth trembled several times, "His father, should we ..."

The way Boss Ye looked at Ye Guo was as if he was looking at a piece of gold, mixed with annoyance.

There was a feeling of shock in the air. Everyone had a lot to ask, but didn't seem to know where to start.

If there are lotus root tips under the lotus root, it is what the peddler said. But how did Ye Guo know the yield of lotus root?

There are people in Yejia Village who can count, but they are all elders in the clan, and only they can reach such a level.

Old Master Ye was silent for a long time, during which time no one in the Ye family dared to make a sound.

Only Ye Guo was eating all the time. Even the smallest Ye Mu only dared to chew and swallow what was already in his mouth.

Father Ye ate lotus root tips, both raw and cooked, they were delicious. Most importantly, this kind of food has a strong sense of fullness.

As an authentic farmer, he knew that this kind of thing could be eaten as a staple food.

This is fundamentally different from discovering a new edible wild vegetable or condiment.

During the famine, some people ate grass, tree bark, and even Guanyin soil. They had eaten lotus leaves before, and suffered from diarrhea, which lasted for a long time.

But no one ever told him that there were fruits hidden in the mud under the lotus leaves.

"Ah Cheng, Ah Li, don't go to the fields for the time being. Accompany Xiao Guo into the mountains every day."

"Don't tell anyone about this for now. When the lotus roots are ripe and the quantity is large enough, we will tell the head of the village and the elders and see what they decide."

Ye Guo was very satisfied with Old Man Ye's decision.

First solve the problem of food and clothing for your own family, then confirm the unknown things, and finally remain kind.

For an illiterate rural person, this is great wisdom.

Ye Guo actually wanted to go around and see if there was anything else to eat.

She has discovered that some edible things become untouchable if they are not cooked in the right way.

What she needs to do now is to break this information gap.

"Don't eat too much today. Just eat enough. We were hungry for too long before. Eating too much will cause great harm to the body."

"There are still some lotus roots in the yard. Let's eat them tomorrow morning before going to the fields."

For modern people, this is basic health knowledge.

Although the Ye family didn't quite understand what he said, Ye Guo had controlled the total amount when he cooked before.

When he saw Ye Lu getting up for the fifth time to get the porridge, he glared at him.

The latter obediently retracted his hand and said timidly, "Aunt, I want to have another half bowl, is that ok?"

Ye Guo would not take risks with his body, especially with a child, so he said sternly, "No."

"Your stomach was flat before, but you ate a lot this time, so it suddenly expanded. From now on, you will have to eat a lot to feel full."

The other members of the Ye family didn't take it seriously at first and planned to eat as much as they could.

After hearing what she said, they quickly finished the food in their bowls and put down their chopsticks at the same time.

When your stomach is bloated, you need to eat more. This is a life-threatening question.

When Ye Guo saw this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

The next second, they felt more distressed. For the Ye family, the end of a lifetime of struggle might be to have enough food to eat, and if they want to go a little further, it might be to send their children to learn to read.

There were tears in her eyes, but they were suppressed in an instant.

"Let's do the same thing tomorrow. When Ah Cheng and the others bring back a large number of lotus roots, we'll consider adding another meal." After saying this, Old Lady Ye glanced at her daughter worriedly.

Seeing that she was not angry because of me refuting her suggestion, she felt relieved.

"I didn't expect that our family could have three meals a day? It's really thanks to Xiaoguo." Old Man Ye said with emotion.

In fact, people in the Daqing Dynasty usually only had two meals, breakfast and dinner.

Breakfast is around 10 or 11 o'clock, and dinner is around 4 or 5 in the afternoon.

The only people who could eat three meals a day were the landlords. In Yejia Village, no one could eat three meals a day.

Ye Lu didn't care about two or three meals a day, but quickly interrupted, "I just eat it raw, it's sweet and tastes better than cooked."

Everyone laughed happily when they heard this. This was the first time in a long time that everyone smiled at the same time.

Ye Guo originally wanted to say that one should not eat too much raw food as it would cause indigestion, but seeing that everyone was so happy, she decided not to pour cold water on them and just kept an eye on the situation herself.

Wang had dinner with Ye Lao Er in the room. After dinner, the two of them continued to peel lotus seeds without wasting any time.

Hearing laughter from afar, the couple looked at each other, their eyes full of joy and a rare smile on their faces.

"Now, you can finally rest and recover from your injuries." Wang let out a long sigh of relief. She knew how much Ye Lao Er was feeling.

Now the feeling of fullness in her stomach made her feel satisfied. When she thought about the possibility of having three meals a day in the future, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

"Xiaoguo has grown up, you should say more to the children. Your aunt is a girl, so you need to take care of her more. I heard from mother that our family has borrowed a chicken to lay eggs, so tell them not to be greedy." Ye Laoer narrowed his eyes, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his words.

What's even more dramatic is that Wang actually nodded in agreement, "My younger sister attended a class taught by the teacher outside the clan school before, and she learned 8 characters. Xiaolu attended three classes and only learned three characters."

"At that time, I thought my little sister was smart and had a good memory. Now she is more successful than before. Don't worry, with my little sister around, our family will get better and better."

Ye Lao Er nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Ye Guo had no idea about the night conversation between Ye Laoer and his wife. If she had heard it, she would probably curse and say that the plot was a trap for me.

Isn't this a trap? The Ye family seemed to have given all their brain cells to her, and the main idea was that she had the final say and everything she said was right, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, the whole family would protect her without a brain.

It's really dramatic.

Although being a group pet is very comfortable, it is also too shameful and makes people feel overwhelmed!

Although the Ye family had candles, they were reluctant to use them all year round.

Everyone took advantage of the daylight to shower and pack up, and then it soon fell into darkness.

Ye Guo thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she slept well that night.
