Chapter 158 Yam Bean
I wanted to encourage her to go for a walk in the mountains while it was still cold, and look for rare species.
Forget it, the host is still young.
Koko felt that if it were also a human being with a human body, it should be silently swallowing a mouthful of blood now.
But it did not allow Manbao to continue with this plan, because he knew that she would not be able to save her money, so she still had to earn more.
It reminded: "Host, didn't you want to use yam to make candied haws last time?"
Manbao recalled the yam and bean stewed chicken from a few days ago and said, "The stewed chicken is also delicious, better than candy."
Because she has been eating sugar since she was a child, Manbao has limited taste for sweet things. She still thinks that chicken stewed with yam and beans is more delicious.
Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Let's go pick yam beans and kill a chicken to eat in the evening."
Keke: It knew it would be like this, and it still wants to save money? This is impossible.
Manbao immediately stopped looking at her room and ran back to her mother, "Mom, let's kill a chicken tonight."
The reason was very good. "Look at how thin Fourth Brother has become. He needs to take care of his health, so I have to stew a chicken for him."
Qian thought about it and felt that the fourth son had suffered too much loss recently, so she nodded and said, "Okay, go and ask your sister-in-law to come back and kill the chicken."
Manbao immediately turned around and ran.
Qian smiled and shook her head, picked up the needle and thread in the basket and continued to make clothes for her. Manbao must be greedy again.
Manbao ran to ask Xiao Qianshi to go home and kill a chicken, and at the same time called Datou, Daya and a group of other children to go to the field to pick yam beans together.
A group of children came running towards the field, crying and shouting, carrying two bamboo baskets. Most of the ginger in the field had been sold, but only a few yams were taken.
At first they thought the yam was a little small, but after waiting for more than ten days, even though last year's harvest season had passed, they took a closer look and found that it had not grown much, so they knew that the yam was only this big.
Koko said it was because the genes of the seeds were not good enough. This was a primitive species and the seeds had not been selected and optimized, plus various factors such as climate and soil fertility.
If they want to have a better harvest next year, they have to choose the right seeds this year.
But of course Manbao couldn't do such a thing, so she told her sister-in-law and let them do it.
All Manbao had to do was drool over the yam beans on the vine and the yams in the field.
Because they wanted to save good seeds, they didn't dig up many yams. The Zhou family unanimously decided to wait until they were old enough before digging them up together, choosing the best ones for seeds, and eating, selling, or drying the rest.
Yams can be preserved for a long time. The temperature is low in winter. Koko said that they can be preserved for six or seven months in a ventilated place. But since it is such a delicious food, why not eat it up quickly?
Manbao rushed to the field, stood on tiptoe and picked all the yam beans she could reach. Seeing that she was putting everything she saw into the bamboo basket, Daya was frightened and quickly grabbed her hand, "Little sister, let's pick the big ones and leave the small ones for now."
Manbao said, "I think the small ones are delicious too. One in one bite."
Daya felt distressed and said, "I think they can grow longer."
"Okay," Manbao started looking for larger yam beans with his eyes wide open.
Daya thought it was done and was about to call Manbao home, but Keke said in Manbao's mind: "Pick more. I can help you search for the recipe of yam candied haws. You can try making it."
Manbao asked curiously, "Keke, do you want to eat candied haws?"
Koko: “…Yes.”
Manbao immediately said, "Okay, let's pick some more. I'll eat it for you when it's ready."
Koko: “…Okay.”
Manbao turned around and waved to Daya, "Come and pick some more, we'll take them back to make candied haws."
When the children heard this, their eyes lit up. They had never eaten candied haws before, but they had seen them.
A group of children rushed over and asked, "Auntie, can you make candied haws?"
"No, but my sister-in-law can."
Datou and Daya both widened their eyes. Their mother actually knew how to make candied haws, but they didn't even know it.
Children always have a special passion for food, especially sweets, so they were not in a hurry to go back, but excitedly shuttled among the vines, picking up any slightly larger yam beans they saw.
When they came out from among the vines, they found that they had picked a lot, and the two bamboo baskets they brought were actually full.
Because yam is more expensive than meat, my family has always been reluctant to eat it, even the yam beans are the same. They picked so many this time...
Datou subconsciously touched his butt, shook it a little, and then handed the largest bamboo basket to Manbao, saying, "Auntie, this is too heavy. Can you help me carry it?"
Manbao was very considerate and lifted it up and said, "Okay."
Datou scratched his head, blushing, and then said, "Well, little aunt, when we get home later, if mom asks, you must say that you asked us to pick these."
Manbao was so smart that she understood immediately. She said, "Oh," and said, "Are you afraid of being beaten by your sister-in-law? Don't worry, you won't. We will eat these yam beans in the end anyway, whether we eat them morning or night."
Manbao said happily: "We can have yam bean stewed with chicken tonight, yam bean stewed with meat tomorrow, and yam bean stewed with bones the day after tomorrow. Anyway, it can be kept and will not go bad."
Datou's eyes widened. "Aunt, didn't you say you wanted to make candied haws?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, I actually think yam and meat stew tastes better."
"No," Big Head shouted, "I want to eat candied haws."
Daya, Ertou Erya and others also immediately stated their position, "I want to eat candied haws too!"
The minority obeys the majority. Manbao had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay."
Keke said: "Host, human records have all given high praise to candied yam."
"But didn't you say that they said it was so good? Maybe it's because there are no yams left and they can't eat them, so they think it tastes good?"
Anyway, she didn't think the candied haws she ate last time were tasty, but her fifth brother and the others liked them very much, so she felt that there might be some difference between what Koko said she liked and what she liked.
Koko stopped talking. He felt that in this situation, the host should be allowed to eat it once. Only after eating it would she know whether she liked it or not.
Manbao and Datou returned home carrying a bamboo basket. Xiao Qian had already killed the chicken. When she looked up and saw the children coming back carrying two bamboo baskets of yam beans, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, rolled up her sleeves and was about to beat them up.
"You naughty monkeys, I told you to pick some food for a meal, but you brought them all back?"
Datou had already dropped his bamboo basket, jumped up and ran out, shouting, "It's none of my business. My aunt asked us to pick them."
Manbao said happily: "Sister-in-law, I asked them to pick them. Datou and the others want to eat candied haws. Let's make candied haws with yam."
Actually, the first time I ate yam bean candied haws was in Beijing. I bought the hawthorn one first, but I thought it was not tasty and was a waste. Then my friend bought a bunch of apple ones, which were not very tasty either. The candied haws seller recommended the most expensive yam bean one. I don’t know why I was so stupid at the time, but I bought another bunch of yam bean ones when both bunches were not tasty. Then we reluctantly threw away the two bunches in our hands and scrambled to eat the one with yam beans.
It's really delicious
