Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 51

When they continued on their way in the afternoon, most of the men's faces were stained, but they still followed Zhou Qing's instructions, some with bundles tied to their arms, some pushing carts, and some looking around, trying to improve their shortcomings.

After walking nearly forty miles in one afternoon, we stopped at a leeward place to prepare dinner and sleep here tonight.

When cooking, the people in the village were very happy because they could eat meat tonight!The village chief set up several large pots and asked the villagers to pack up the prey, put them in several pots, add some seasonings and start stewing.

The villagers glanced at the large pots from time to time, and even discussed the taste of the meat when chatting.

The Zhou family is also cooking. Zhou Yue cooked roe deer meat and rabbit meat together. This time, he chose the braised method. The meat was stewed in the pot, and the sweet potatoes were steamed in the basket above. Yue also threw a few sweet potatoes and roasted them nearby.

Having finished eating the steamed buns and steamed buns, Zhou Yue wanted to let her family taste sweet potatoes. Since the sweet potatoes were harvested, she has not had time to taste them and has been busy escaping.

Slowly, the smell of meat wafted out, and the sweet and sweet smell of sweet potatoes permeated the air. The people of the Zhou family were all standing by. They were looking forward to the roe deer meat, but what they wanted more was sweet potatoes, which they had grown for several months. Harvested fresh stuff, never eaten before.

Master He was also waiting. He saw the process of Zhou Yue putting the sweet potatoes in, but he didn't recognize the thing. It looked like the root of something, and the expectant looks in the Zhou family's eyes meant that it was probably a good thing.

Finally, when the pot was opened, the sweet potatoes were lying in the steamer, and some of the skins were cracked, revealing the red flesh inside. Zhou Yue took off the steamer and put it aside.

Put the meat out of a bowl and send it to Master He with three sweet potatoes, "Master, try this. This is called sweet potato, also called sweet potato. I dug it from the mountain. How would you like it?"

"Sweet potato? I've never seen it before. It looks like the roots of a plant." Master He picked up the sweet potato and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, it is the root of a plant. The skin can also be eaten, but it would be better if you peel it off." Zhou Yue pointed to the sweet potato skin and said, the sweet potato skin can be eaten or not.

Hearing this, Master He took a bite of the skin. It was very soft in his mouth and fell apart without biting. The skin had no taste, but the flesh inside was very sweet. "This thing is so sweet!" Master He was very shocked. Something that seems ordinary can be so sweet.

"You can peel off the skin and eat only the inside part. Sweet potatoes are very filling." Zhou Yue said.

Mr. He nodded, "There are so many weird things in your house. I feel like I have gained a lot of knowledge by following you, haha."

"Thank you for your compliment, Master, maybe you can gain more knowledge!" Zhou Yue blinked playfully.

"Okay! I'll wait and see! Haha..." Mr. He smiled with a red face, and he fell more and more in love with this girl.

It would be fine if she was my daughter, if not, the granddaughter is also fine. He is over 40 years old, and the granddaughter is justified at such an age.

He was immersed in fantasy, but he ignored a problem, he didn't even have a wife, how could he have daughters and granddaughters?

Zhou Yue also sent a copy to Qian Ruiping, introduced how to eat sweet potatoes, and then returned to his home to eat.

Qian Ruiping looked at a big bowl of meat and some sweet potatoes, and once again sighed that his family was blessed. He shared a piece of sweet potato with each of the family members. After tasting it, they all said it was delicious. It's sweet, not tooth-breaking, and suitable for the elderly.

People in the village also saw the food being eaten by the Zhou family. Although it was strange, they didn't ask about it. They focused on the big pot at the village chief's side.

Finally, several cauldrons were opened at the same time, and the aroma of the meat attracted the children to surround them. "Okay, bring a basin from each family, and I'll share it with you!" Seeing their expectations, the village chief didn't hesitate, and directly divided it.

Then everyone came over with their own bowls or basins for the village chief to distribute.The village head is also very fair. If the family has a large population, it will be given more, and if the population is small, it will be given less. There is no difference in the villagers. It is good to be able to eat meat. After receiving the food, I can’t wait to go back to my place to eat .

Zhou Jiacheng was the most excited. He knew the yield of sweet potatoes and could finally taste them this time!He peeled off the skin as Yueyue said and took a bite. The sweetness spread in his mouth, and his eyes were red with excitement.

"Yueyue, this sweet potato is really delicious, it's easy to grow, the yield is high, and the taste is delicious. It's really life-saving!" Food?

However, the food output was not high, and the people were struggling to survive. Once they got sick or encountered a bad harvest, life would be very difficult. Some people even sold their sons and daughters to survive.

Didn't their family barely get by before?They were all sallow and thin. If Yueyue hadn't been capable, the family would not be able to survive the illness after that illness.

If this sweet potato can be widely planted in the building country, are you afraid that the common people will not be able to eat?

Zhou Yue understands Zhou Jiacheng's thoughts, but in the current Great Xia Kingdom, the emperor is fatuous and cruel, he doesn't care about the life and death of the people, and there is a natural disaster, so there is no suitable time and channel to promote sweet potatoes.

"Dad, don't think about it now. There will be opportunities in the future. The most important thing for us now is to find a stable place. When we settle down, I will first let everyone in our village grow sweet potatoes and slowly spread them. " Zhou Yue comforted.

Zhou Jiacheng nodded, Yueyue is right, the timing is not right now, they are still fleeing famine, and they don't even have a place to stay.

After eating, everyone got into the tents of each family, and still kept two people to watch the night. Everyone ate very happily tonight. The smell of meat made up for the tiredness of traveling during the day, and they slept very soundly.

Zhou Yue still sleeps in the bullock cart by herself, she goes to the space to melt gold bars routinely, feeds the animals, waters the vegetables, washes up and goes to bed after a round of busy work.

Two night watchmen surrounded the fire, throwing a few branches into it from time to time to make the fire more prosperous. In late autumn, the temperature at night was getting lower and lower. The two chatted softly, discussing what Zhou Qing taught today, and using Hand gestures.

It was approaching midnight, both of them were a little sleepy, and they stopped talking, "Zhuzi, are you sleepy?" one of them asked.

"Nonsense, who is not sleepy? But you can't sleep, you have to keep watch." Zhu Zi gave him a blank look.

"I'm so sleepy that I can't even open my eyes!" another person said.

"Dongzi, why don't you stand up and walk around, maybe it will be better if you wake up!" Zhuzi suggested.

When Dongzi heard it, he thought it was a good idea, so he stood up and walked around nearby.

When he walked near the bullock cart, Dongzi felt that something was wrong, as if something was approaching, and there was a rustling sound, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly.
