Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 17: Ingratiation

While peeling them, Bai Shuiliu asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you drying so many sweet potatoes?"

"Mom said she wanted to dry some dried sweet potatoes and sell them in the town for money." Bai Shuiliu replied, "Mom also said that she could dry out soft and delicious dried sweet potatoes, unlike the ones she ate before that made my cheeks hurt when I chewed them. kind."

“If we could really produce that kind of dried sweet potato and sell it for some money, our family’s life would be easier.”

 Bai Lixia looked at Bai Shuiliu with a hopeful smile on his face. He hesitated for a long time about what to say, and finally swallowed it, silently tearing the skin of the sweet potato in his hand.

Su Mulan was in the kitchen, almost without stopping. Finally, she felt that the kitchen was too hot, so she simply took out a kitchen knife, and without using a chopping board, she used a bamboo basket to pull the sweet potatoes into slices, and then arranged them one by one.

As the sun gradually rose, Bai Zhuye and Bai Midou came back from outside in a hurry, holding thick bamboo tubes in their hands.

As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted excitedly, "Eldest sister, second sister, look, the third sister and I have caught a lot of bugs."

Su Mulan looked up and saw that the two children's faces were flushed with heat, and their necks and collars were soaked with sweat along their cheeks. She felt a little distressed. She took a towel in the basin next to her and wiped the two people's hair. The sweat on the neck, "Hurry up and drink some water, rest for a while, don't get the heat."

This move obviously made the two little carrot heads soften.

Bai Zhuye hesitated for a while, bit her lip, and looked at Su Mulan as boldly as possible, "Mom, look, Mi Dou and I caught a lot of bugs, enough for the chicken to eat until full."

As he spoke, he pulled off the cork on the bamboo tube and held it up to Su Mulan.

Su Mulan lowered his head and saw that there were indeed quite a few.

The thick bamboo tube was filled to the brim, almost full, and there were not only bean worms, but also grasshoppers and caterpillars of other colors, colorful and twisted together, which made her scalp hair grow. numb.

Resisting the discomfort in her stomach, Su Mulan, who has been afraid of molluscs since she was a child, reached out and touched Bai Zhuye's little head, "Zhuye is really capable."     "My third sister and I caught this together." Bai Mi Douchan made a sentence.

“Mi Dou can do it too.” Su Mulan also rubbed Bai Mi Dou’s forehead.

Bai Mi Dou grinned and took the bamboo tube from Su Mulan's hand, "Mom, I'll take it to feed the chickens."

“Go.” Su Mulan couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at the white bamboo leaves and white rice beans happily pouring the insects from the bamboo tube into the chicken coop.

These two little radishes obviously have a pleaseable personality, probably because they were beaten and ignored in the past. Even if they only got together with her for two days, they couldn't wait to be close and recognized.

Hey, how pitiful...

Su Mulan felt more and more pity in her heart.

She looked up and saw that the sun was almost up in the sky. Su Mulan asked Bai Shuiliu and Bai Lixia to stop first and help collect the sweet potato leaves for lunch. The remaining ones would be peeled and sliced ​​after the meal was over. Let dry.

"Lixia, please help me choose the sweet potato leaves. I've got the rest of them. There aren't many left. I should be able to finish them before eating. Don't leave them for too long. They won't be able to dry out today." Bai Shuiliu suggested.

Su Mulan saw that there was indeed not much left, so he nodded and went to the noodle vat to scoop out some noodles to make sweet potato leaf noodles.

 The two children, Bai Zhuye and Bai Midou, finished feeding the chickens. One helped to select the sweet potato leaves, and the other helped to peel the sweet potatoes.
