"We can't dig them back for now. Digging out the sweet potatoes will damage the sweet potato seedlings. It's best to use sweet potato seedlings when planting sweet potatoes."
"Once we're settled, we'll come back and dig them up and plant them. But I don't want the villagers to know about this, lest they damage the sweet potatoes and the seedlings."
Gao Zhijun explained why they couldn't dig sweet potatoes and hoped that the Huo family could keep this secret.
"Don't worry, girl. We will keep it a secret and won't let the villagers know."
"Yes, sister, I can keep a secret too."
"Sister, us too."
"Don't worry, my daughter. I will definitely supervise them."
Everyone in the Huo family expressed that they would keep the secret.
"Okay, I trust you. Now let's bake the sweet potatoes."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she put all the sweet potatoes into the fire to roast.
A quarter of an hour later, the aroma of sweet potatoes wafted into everyone's nose.
What a nice smell! This is the smell!
Take out the sweet potatoes, peel them, and give each person a little bit.
When everyone put the sweet potatoes into their mouths, the Huo family fell in love with the fragrant, soft and sticky texture.
Especially Hawking, Zhang Chan and several children, who felt that what they ate was the most delicious food in the world.
"Girl, this is so delicious. It's made just for us old people."
"My daughter, you must plant such delicious sweet potatoes."
"Niece, I've never eaten such delicious food. No delicacies from land or sea can compare to it."
"Sister, wait until things settle down, and big brother will bring people back to dig up the trees and plant them."
"Auntie, with sweet potatoes, Wenshan, Wenhai, Wenyang, and Yuxuan will have food."
"Sister, sweet potatoes are so delicious! I want to eat them every day when they're grown!"
The Huo family ate the sweet potatoes and everyone praised them highly.
Huo Jinqian didn't say anything, but just looked at Gao Zhijun affectionately.
She is truly a blessing to everyone. A lot of changes have taken place since she came.
If he could marry her, he would do anything.
Everyone finished eating the sweet potatoes and went to bed.
A dreamless night!
Gao Zhijun's biological clock awakened her.
When I got up, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lao and Mrs. Yu were already steaming cassava with the village women.
They followed Gao Zhijun's instructions, peeled the cassava, steamed half of it, and used the other half to cook cassava soup, using salt but no sugar.
By the time the villagers got up, the cassava had already been cooked.
Looking at the cassava leaves that had opened wide, the villagers were a little frightened and did not dare to eat them.
They still vividly remembered the appearance of Tong's eldest daughter-in-law last night, and they were all traumatized.
Everyone pushed the village head and asked him to be the representative, hoping that he could persuade Gao Zhijun to stop eating cassava.
The headman was pushed out and saw many pairs of eyes looking at him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in front of Gao Zhijun.
Since he was the head of the village, it was his job to do these things. He said in embarrassment, "Girl, everyone, can we not eat cassava?"
The village head lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
Looking at the terrified villagers, Gao Zhijun smiled speechlessly. Once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years!
The villagers would definitely not dare to eat it if they knew that he didn’t come out to try it.
Well, if I don’t go to hell, who will?
She walked over to the steamed cassava, picked up a piece, and said to the villagers, “I know what happened yesterday scared everyone and no one dared to eat it.
It's okay. Today, I'll take the lead in eating cassava. Everyone, please eat after you see that I'm okay."
"In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs. Now, I am trying cassava for everyone!"
"No, girl, let me try!"
"Sister, let me try!"
"Sister, you can't do that. Let me try!"
When Mrs. Lu, Huo Jinqian and other members of the Huo family heard that Gao Zhijun wanted to try the food, they immediately stopped her and asked them to try it instead.
"It's okay, I discovered this, I know what's going on, don't worry, don't argue!"
Gao Zhijun felt warm and touched when she heard the Huo family's concern.
She felt like the wall in her heart was about to collapse.
She broke the cassava in her hand, broke off a piece and put it in her mouth.
Well, that’s the taste, soft and sticky, very delicious.
After she finished a piece of cassava, she felt almost full. She drank some water and her stomach felt bloated.
Huo Jinqian and other members of the Huo family wanted to stop her, but it was too late. They could only watch Gao Zhijun eat a piece of cassava. They clenched their fists nervously and looked at Gao Zhijun. Sweat broke out on their foreheads, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or the heat.
“Everyone, look, it’s okay, everyone can eat it without worry.
The skin and core of cassava do contain toxins. As long as you remove the outer skin and the cassava core in the middle, the cooked cassava will not be poisonous and you can eat it with confidence.
Never eat raw cassava without peeling it, as it can be poisonous to you."
After drinking the water, Gao Zhijun said to the villagers.
When the villagers saw that Gao Zhijun was fine after eating the cassava, they believed that eating cassava in this way would not cause poisoning.
So everyone rushed to get the cassava to eat without worry.
The village head and several young men, Da Zhuang, came over and apologized sheepishly: "Girl (Miss Gao), I'm sorry. You worked so hard for us and helped us find food, and we still doubted you. We are really inhumane."
Gao Zhijun waved her hand and said, "Don't worry. It's a good thing that everyone is suspicious of unfamiliar food. How can I blame you?"
It is human nature to distrust things that are unfamiliar.
If she had not eaten it in her previous life, she would not have been so bold as to try cassava, and she was not afraid of living a long life.
The more Gao Zhijun acted like this, the more ashamed the village head and others felt.
