Chapter 416 Eating Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Ling Yi and the other seven looked over.

The skin is red, tinged with rose red, the size of a fist, long and narrow, thin at the sides and thick in the middle, and looks similar to a mallet.

But, “This is huge!”

"Can I eat everything?"

"Is this from a vine? How can there be so many?"

There are several kinds of things in the field. The most common ones are peanuts and radishes. There are many peanuts, but they are very small, especially with the shell. After removing the shell, the fruit is even smaller.

The radishes are big, but there is only one on each plant. I have never seen such a large bunch of sweet potatoes, and each one is so big!

In addition, Feng Meng said that the skin is very thin and can be eaten, but it is not tasty. However, corn cobs are not only not tasty, but also thick and take up a lot of space. In one corn cob, there are more cobs than kernels!

As long as the sweet potato doesn't taste too bad, it's better than anything else...

"That's right! How could I lie to you? Come on, I'll take you to roast sweet potatoes!" Feng Meng waved his hand casually, inviting people to follow him to the school kitchen to roast.

Ying Yi and the other six looked at Ling Yi together.

The latter nodded slightly and whispered, "Now that you are here, you can do whatever you want. You don't need to worry about me."

It was naturally impossible for Yingyi and the other six to ignore their master, but they also understood the meaning of their master's words.

Everyone gets along happily and easily without knowing their identities. Moreover, this village is united and has a sense of security. It is protected everywhere and is more impregnable than Blackwater City!

The six people followed Feng Meng briskly to the school.

Walking on the wide and flat road, looking at the neatly arranged houses on both sides, and various flowers on the fences and walls, some of which have withered after blooming, with seeds on them, and some are in full bloom, in clusters and clusters, so beautiful!

The front and back of the house were full of fruit trees and grapes, and several people swallowed unconsciously.

There is also a river running through the village. The water is clear and you can see fish swimming around in it. Fruit trees are planted on both sides of the river. When the fruits are ripe, they fall into the river. The fish eat the fruits and become very fat...

Is this still an ordinary village? Even the villas of the rich and powerful are not this good!

Moreover, this place is really good, surrounded by mountains, forming a natural barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack;

Firewood is the most important of all necessities, as it is in great demand, and there is no shortage of it here.

Especially this large open space, which was well taken care of by them...

When they arrived at the school, the six were shocked again.

It is surprising enough that a small mountain village has a school, but what is unexpected is that it is run so well!

Along the way, they listened to Feng Meng introduce which house belonged to which man. Although they all had tiled roofs, the walls were made of adobe. When they arrived at the school, they saw that the main house and the east and west houses were all brick and tile houses!

The roof is wide and imposing, and is painted with lime, making it look clean and bright.

Their village attaches great importance to reading, literacy and arithmetic!

Feng Meng proudly introduced: "It is the busy farming season now and the school is on holiday, so it is temporarily used as a canteen for the whole village;

When it was being built, the whole village was taken into consideration, and craftsmen were asked to build many stoves specially so that the whole village would have enough time to eat together!

It doesn't waste any time, and a family can free up several people for the rush of plowing and harvesting. Moreover, everyone doesn't have to worry about anything and can just focus on the fields on the mountain."

The shock in the hearts of Yingyi and the other six people was not just a little bit, it was about to overflow.

They had never seen it this way.

No wonder their village is better than other places. Others are hungry and cold and have to work hard to make a living, but they have already risen to the level of having better food and better clothes.

If you put your effort into one thing, it will be difficult to achieve results elsewhere!

"You will have to eat here during this period of time, but don't worry, everything is delicious, and the food will be different every five days!" Feng Meng comforted him after the introduction.

Yingyi and the other six people were actually looking forward to lunch.

Blackwater City was poor, but they were actually not that unaffected. After all, they were not ordinary people, nor had they seen the world. They had eaten a lot of good food in the palace.

However, no matter how exquisite the food I had eaten in the past was, I always felt that it was not as tasty as what Shen Qing and Liu Cuihua cooked. As a result, like Feng Meng and the others, I kept missing it and wanted to come here early to eat some delicious food.

I heard Feng Meng say that eating in the "big canteen" these days is actually not bad, at least it's novel.

Zhao Mingyue saw the sweet potatoes in Feng Meng's hand and heard his purpose. She greeted him warmly, "How long will it take for you to roast them before you can eat them?

We just happened to have baked a few ourselves, originally planning to satisfy our cravings. You can use these to entertain the guests first! Let me bake these later."

Feng Meng exclaimed happily and immediately handed over the sweet potato in his hand.

Yingyi and the other six felt a little embarrassed, "Isn't this bad?"

Is it appropriate for them to snatch away everything that others have worked so hard to bake for such a long time?

"Well, what's the big deal? We can eat whenever we want," Zheng Hui comforted.

Over there, Zhao Mingyue had already pulled out a sweet potato from the edge of the stove. She reached out and pressed it to test its firmness before ordering, "It's done! It's baked. Take it. Mengzi, don't try to eat it secretly."

Feng Meng grumbled, "Third Auntie, I'm not someone who can't tell the difference between important and unimportant things."

Of course, the guests should eat first. This is the way to entertain guests.

Besides, there is nothing good left. If he snatches a few more sweet potatoes, what kind of person will he become?

Zhao Mingyue turned to look at Ying Yi and the other six with satisfaction, and naturally instructed: "Take this and try it first. If it tastes good, come back later. This batch should also be good, and then we will give it back to you."

"That's enough food! You guys get busy. Thank you, Third Grandma!"

The six people said hurriedly.

How can the people in the village be so nice? They are all so warm-hearted, and their words of concern are as natural as drinking water.

Ling Yi didn't expect that Ying Yi and the others would come back not long after they left.

Kebabs aren’t that fast!

Seeing his master's confusion, Ying immediately explained: "It was given to me by the village's third grandmother. Master, please try it."

After saying that, he broke the hot sweet potato in his hand into two halves, revealing the red and soft flesh inside.

He was about to peel the sweet potato when Ling Yi stopped him: "Leave it, let me taste it and see if there is any difference."

They said the skin was edible, so he wanted to try it to see if it tasted good, edible, or unpalatable.

Shen Qing reminded: "You can only eat the skin of boiled or steamed ones. The skin of your roasted one is all ash, tough and hard to chew. Don't eat it.

I'll cook or steam it for you to eat in the evening."

"...Okay." Ling Yi responded obediently.

Shen Qing saw Ling Yi obediently peel the roasted sweet potato and take a bite. His expression was first stunned, then disbelief. He ate several bites in succession, chewing the last bite slowly, his eyes full of surprise.

The expressions of the six people in Shadow One are the same, but the difference is more obvious.

For Shen Qing, this was within expectations.

Compared with other whole grains, sweet potatoes are sweet!

The coarse grains of this dynasty were millet, corn, various beans, etc. None of them had any sweetness. Even the refined grains such as rice and white flour only had a light grain fragrance, which was completely different from the sweetness of sweet potatoes.

Without technology and active taste buds, people are extremely sensitive to even the slightest bit of sweetness.
