"Goudan, you only have one old man in your family. Can the grandfather and grandson withstand robbery? Or can they protect against thieves?"
"Erwa, you have two younger siblings who are in their teens. At this age, it's too late to hide things."
"Also, Tiezhu, you have many brothers in your family, but which of them is the most fuel-efficient?"
My family often bullies Tiezhu. If they knew that this yam is edible, how could we still hide it?
"By then, the villagers will know that we knew there was food in the mountains but didn't tell them. If anyone in their family starves to death during this period, won't they all blame us?"
At times like this, if people get jealous, it can be fatal.
After being called out and scolded one by one, the three of them immediately became obedient.
After resting for a while, the three of them went back home dejectedly.
Fang Tong rested for a while and couldn't sit still anymore.
It’s not a bad idea to take your daughter to the village chief’s house and let her see more of people’s hearts.
The village chief is smoking under the eaves!
Looking up at the sky, feeling the hot wind, I sighed.
Seeing the two figures, one big and one small, at the door, the village chief, who was already worried, frowned suddenly.
Why did Fang Tong come to see him?
Could it be that he regretted marrying into the family?
The village chief's mind was full of thoughts. When he saw someone coming in, he didn't show any intention of getting up to greet him. Disdain was written all over his old face.
The meaning of dislike is obvious.
Fang Tong didn't get angry even though no one took him seriously. He just gave his daughter a look.
Fang Nanzhi greeted with a sweet smile, "Hello, Village Chief!"
Who can remain indifferent when seeing a cute and beautiful little baby smiling and greeting them?
The village chief couldn't help but smile on his weather-beaten face, "Oh, okay~"
But when he turned his gaze to Fang Tong, the village chief became alert again: "What do you want from me today?"
Fang Tong didn't bother to be polite with him. He held his head high, looking like a great hero.
"I found food in the mountains."
The village chief's eyes were filled with confusion: "Food, what food?"
Fang Tong certainly couldn't just say, "This is my contribution to the entire village. The village should give me some benefits, right?"
The village chief was a little skeptical of him.
Fang Laosan is idle all day long. Apart from stealing and causing trouble, he just fights and makes trouble. What good things can he find?
If any food were found, it would certainly be hidden.
But she came to see him specifically. Could it be that she wanted to cheat him out of some money?
The village chief felt that he had seen through the whole truth, and he snorted without saying anything.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Fang Nanzhi got anxious and took out the yam she had just cooked from home. "Daddy is telling the truth!"
"Grandpa Village Chief, you eat!"
As he said this, he even peeled the skin off of it considerately.
The village chief took it and looked at the half-white unknown object in his hand, doubtful, "What is this thing? Is it non-toxic?"
Seeing the village chief's naive look, Fang Tong couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"This is called yam. Don't worry about eating it. It's not poisonous. My family has already eaten it!"
The village chief ate a small piece carefully.
It is soft, sticky and smooth in the mouth, and has a unique aroma. It tastes surprisingly good.
Thinking about it, he took a few more big bites.
After eating half of it, the village chief unexpectedly discovered that this thing was very filling!
Yam...it's such a good thing in this time of famine!
The village chief was very surprised. He stood up and became much more friendly. "Old Third, where did you get this? Do you have any more? What does it look like?"
Fang Tong crossed his arms and said, "Yes, I do, but since I've given the village such great news, it's almost like saving everyone's lives. The villagers have to give me some benefits!"
Upon hearing this, the village elder showed an embarrassment on his face.
"Old Third, it's not that I don't want to give you anything, but just look at yourself. Everyone in our village is starving to death. What good can I possibly give you?"
Fang Tong already had a plan in mind as to what benefits he wanted.
The man smiled and said, "I remember there was a small pond not far from the Qin family's house."
There are only small fish in the small pond, which are so small that they are not even big enough to fill the gaps between teeth. In the past, villagers did not like to go there.
There was heavy rain a while ago, which filled up the pond, but that was of no use.
Now the village is only short of food, not water.
The request raised by Fang Tong is actually not difficult.
But the village chief is also an old and cunning man.
He also smiled and patted Fang Tong's shoulder. "Hey, Third Brother, this pond isn't difficult to deal with, but I also need to know how many yams you have first, right?"
Fang Tong became more confident.
"Don't worry, there are enough yams for the whole village to share."
"Ding ding ding~ Ding ding ding~"
The village chief immediately beat the gongs and drums.
Every time the drum was struck, it meant that there was something important to discuss in the village, and each family had to send a man to the meeting.
For fear of missing out on any important news, many people rushed here.
When I saw Fang Tong in the yard, I didn't think much about it, just thought he came quite quickly.
After about an incense stick of time, the pillars of each household had basically arrived. The village chief cleared his throat and said, "I called everyone here today because there is something great going on!"
"Fang Lao San, Fang Tong found something edible!"
As he spoke, the village chief took out the half-eaten yam stick and placed it in Fang Tong's hand. "Let the third brother tell everyone the details of the situation!"
Everyone looked at Fang Tong, who was standing there in a daze, and then looked at the yam in his hand, half believing and half doubting.
"What, what yam?"
"This thing can be eaten, right?"
"Don't tell me Fang Tong is up to something weird again to mess with me."
Everyone was whispering, most of them were suspicious.
The main thing is that the person who discovered it is very unreliable!
Fang Tong introduced it to everyone without hesitation regardless of what others said.
"This is Chinese yam. I found it on the mountain. Everyone, take a close look."
Yesterday, someone secretly dug out some yam and immediately expressed doubts.
Zhao Si looked at him as if he were a fool. "Fang Tong, don't be stupid because of hunger! I dug this thing out before, and my hand got swollen as soon as I touched it. It was painful and itchy. It's clearly poisonous!"
The people around him looked towards him.
"real or fake?"
This feeling of being watched by everyone made him feel inexplicably high.
"That's right, this thing is poisonous. Third brother, how could you take it out and harm us?"
Everyone looked at Fang Tong with some unfriendly expressions.
The village chief's heart skipped a beat.
Poisonous? He had just eaten half of it.
Then he forced himself to relax. Fang Tong said that his whole family had eaten this thing, so it should be fine.
The next second, Fang Tong beside him said loudly:
"Yes, this thing is poisonous."
village head:?!!
The sky is falling.
How did this old man offend this scoundrel?
