"Yiyi, I didn't expect the sweet potatoes we dug out were quite big."
Yun Yiyi quickly picked up all the sweet potatoes that were exposed and put them into the basket. Of course, she separated them.
The sweet potatoes that have not been damaged are placed in one basket, and the sweet potatoes that have been broken or have their skin torn are placed in another basket.
"Okay, second brother, you keep digging. I'll go to third brother's place to pick up sweet potatoes."
"Third brother, you dig so fast." Yun Yiyi said as she put down the basket, then squatted down and picked up the sweet potatoes quickly.
"Hey, Yiyi, let me tell you, when I see these sweet potatoes, I don't feel tired anymore. Now all I see are the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes and sweet sweet potato porridge."
"Third brother, you can ask mom to cut the sweet potatoes into slices and then dry them in the sun. You can make porridge when it snows in winter. It's so delicious."
Brother Yun San smiled at Yun Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, when it comes to food, we two have the final say."
"Third brother, of course you have to. We're both the best eaters. But, third brother, I do know a new way to eat sweet potatoes. When mom has time, you can ask her to cook it for us."
When Third Brother Yun heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Yiyi, do you know any new ways to eat it? Can you tell me how to make it first?"
Yun Yiyi turned her head and made a face at Third Brother Yun, "Third Brother, even if you know how to cook it, we can't eat it now. Aren't you just trying to make us greedy?"
Third Brother Yun shook his hair nonchalantly. "What's the big deal? I'm happy to hear it."
"Well, Third Brother, I really can't do anything about you. Now I'm telling you, the new way to eat sweet potatoes I'm talking about is called candied sweet potatoes."
"The method is also very simple. Before cooking, peel the sweet potato and then cut it into slightly thicker slices. Or strips are also fine. You can cut it into any shape you like."
"Next, deep-fry the cut sweet potatoes until they are about 70% cooked. After frying the sweet potatoes, put a little oil in the pan and add two tablespoons of sugar."
"During this process, you must use a low heat. Otherwise, the sugar will easily overcook, which will cause black smoke to appear and the sugar will become bitter and unpalatable."
"After the sugar in the pot has been slowly boiled down to a syrup, put the fried sweet potatoes into the pot and stir-fry them quickly with a spatula a few times before serving."
"The sweet potatoes made this way should be eaten while they're hot. Otherwise, the sugar on the sweet potatoes will become hard after they cool down. If you eat them while they're hot, the sugar will become stringy."
"Wow, Yiyi, I'm drooling just listening to this. The sweet potatoes made according to your method will definitely be delicious."
"Third brother, I'm not lying to you, it's definitely delicious."
Third Brother Yun nodded in agreement, "I can imagine it must be delicious."
"Yiyi, where did you hear this recipe? You've almost eaten a whole sweet potato to pieces."
"Brother, I just happened to hear someone say it and then I wrote it down. I love eating delicious food after all."
When Brother Yun heard this, he just laughed.
"Yiyi, half of your mind is focused on finding food, and the other half is focused on how to make delicious food."
"Second brother, why do you always tell the truth? Besides, what child doesn't have a greedy side?"
Second Brother Yun was left speechless by what Yun Yiyi said and could only smile helplessly.
"By the way, Third Brother. If you replace the sweet potatoes with apples, it will taste just as good."
"Let me think about it, if I change it to apples, it would definitely be delicious. Apples are crisp and sweet on their own. Adding sugar would make it even better."
"Okay, Third Brother. I've finished picking the sweet potatoes. You can continue digging."
After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she dragged the basket to go to Brother Yun again.
During this period of time, Brother Yun dug out a lot of sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes come in all sizes, but generally speaking, any sweet potato that grows on a taproot is considered small. Those thin, long little sweet potatoes are obviously ones that grow on a sweet potato vine.
Yun Yiyi was like a diligent snail girl, humming a tune while picking sweet potatoes with her nimble hands.
Brother Yun and the others were also waving their hoes and digging sweet potatoes hard.
"Yiyi, do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes now?"
"Third brother, how do you eat roasted sweet potatoes now?"
"Then don't worry about it. I'm just asking you if you want to eat or not?"
Yun Yiyi looked at the sweet potatoes in the basket and imagined that they would be fragrant and sweet after being roasted, which would be so delicious.
"Third brother, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."
"That's good. Just wait and eat the roasted sweet potatoes later."
"Brother, brother, can I roast some sweet potatoes? My arms are a little sore after working all day."
Brother Yun didn't even raise his head. "If you want to eat, go collect some firewood. Once you've collected some, I'll make it for you."
"Third brother, pick up some kindling grass, and the rest should pick up branches so that you don't have to keep watching the fire."
"I understand, big brother, second brother."
Brother Yun San put the hoe aside and said, "Yiyi, come with me to collect firewood?"
"Okay, third brother." Yun Yiyi put all the sweet potatoes in her hand into the basket.
Then, Brother Yun San and Yun Yiyi went to the woods in front to collect firewood.
Third Brother Yun went with the basket on his back, and when the two men arrived in the woods, he was in charge of cutting hay.
Yun Yiyi wandered around the edge of the woods, and when she saw a dead tree, she kicked it and broke it in half.
Of course, the trunk of this dead tree is not thick, but it is definitely enough for roasting sweet potatoes.
Brother Yun San put the cut hay into the basket, and then cut the dry tree that Yun Yiyi had kicked into pieces.
Finally put them into the basket.
Third Brother Yun carried the basket on his back and called out to Yun Yiyi. "Yiyi, we can go back now."
Yun Yiyi tilted her head, "Third brother, wait for me."
After she finished speaking, she quickly ran to the big tree she had just seen.
As soon as she entered the woods, she heard a lot of birdsong. She then looked carefully and saw several bird nests in the trees.
"Third brother, come here, I saw a bird's nest in the tree."
"Do you hear the birds singing?" Brother Yun San came over with a basket on his back.
"I heard it, Third Brother. I want to climb up and see if there are any eggs in the bird's nest."
Brother Yun San put down the basket and said, "Okay, let's climb the tree separately. But you have to be careful."
"Got it, Third Brother."
Yun Yiyi hugged the tree with both hands, put her legs on the tree, and began to climb the tree.
Brother Yun San also found a tree with a bird's nest on it and began to climb up.
Soon, Yun Yiyi climbed to the top of the tree. She hugged the trunk and looked into the bird's nest. "Wow, Third Brother, there are four eggs in the bird's nest on my tree."
"Yiyi, put the bird eggs in your pocket and come down from the tree slowly."
"Got it, Third Brother."
Yun Yiyi carefully put the four little bird eggs in the bird's nest into her clothes pocket.
