"Ouch! My foot!" Just as Hua Yuanyuan was about to go over, she was suddenly tripped by something under her feet.
I wasn't paying attention when I was running just now, and I tripped and hit my foot on a stone, and it bled a little.
Yu Qingmei ran to the front and shouted anxiously: "Auntie, why are you still bleeding? Qing'er, come over and take a look at her. How did she get injured suddenly? Does it hurt?"
Yu Qingmei anxiously lifted up her trouser leg to take a look, and was relieved when she found that it was only a minor scratch.
Yu Qingqing also came to the front and saw that the skin was slightly scratched, so she simply treated it for her.
Then he helped Hua Yuanyuan up and sat her on a stone nearby.
After settling Hua Yuanyuan down, Yu Qingqing turned around to check where she had fallen.
As a result, Yu Qingqing almost burst into tears when she saw this.
What did she see? She saw silver, but no! She saw a field of weeds.
Yu Qingqing happily ran over there, pulled a handful of vines and observed them carefully. Sure enough, this was really the sweet potato vine. Although it was wild, it could save lives.
"Hahahaha! Aunt, you really helped us a lot. If you hadn't fallen down, I probably wouldn't have noticed it." Yu Qingqing laughed like a fool, leaving Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan confused.
What Yu Qingqing said was not an exaggeration, because this is a gentle slope and if you don’t come here, you really won’t find the sweet potato vines.
Yu Qingmei thought her sister was possessed. She ran to the front, pulled Yu Qingqing up with both hands, and said anxiously, "Third sister, what's wrong with you? Is there anything special about this vine? You're holding it and suddenly laughing. It's really scary. Tell me why your aunt is helping you. You better explain yourself clearly and get up first."
Yu Qingmei didn't pull much, and Yu Qingqing got up immediately.
Yu Qingqing: "Let me tell you, this is really edible. There will be fruits underneath, which are called sweet potatoes. And the yield is very high, we are really going to get rich! Haha! There are so many, it's really great!" Yu Qingqing took a look and saw that a large area of land below the slope was basically covered by sweet potato vines.
Yu Qingqing observed carefully and found out why the sweet potato vine did not grow on the other side.
Because the soil on the other side is not fertile enough, and the sunlight there is not as good as here.
The yield of sweet potatoes is already very high, and so many sweet potatoes can really save a lot of people.
Although it is wild, it does not affect its consumption at all and its taste is the same.
Yu Qingqing didn’t know how long it had been since she had eaten sweet potatoes. This was something she never dreamed of.
She couldn't wait to take out a small shovel, squatted on the ground, and started digging hard.
Soon a sweet potato with thin skin and thick flesh appeared in front of me. The skin of this sweet potato was red.
Yu Qingqing peeled the skin and the flesh inside was white.
"Crack! Delicious, so sweet!" Yu Qingqing took a bite, and the crispy and sweet taste of the sweet potato completely conquered her.
Yu Qingmei saw that she had a sweet potato as thick as a bowl in her hand, and it looked to be about one pound.
Yu Qingmei was shocked at this moment. Such a big round thing could actually be eaten.
And it grows underground, which is really incredible and magical.
Yu Qingqing was not alone, but gave a few pieces of peeled sweet potato to Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan to try together.
Seeing Yu Qingqing eating so happily, Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei couldn't resist their curiosity and took a bite.
After taking a bite, his expression changed. It was so sweet.
"It's so sweet, Qing'er, this is so sweet, it's delicious!" Hua Yuanyuan couldn't help but exclaimed and continued to eat it in big mouthfuls.
"Yes, Third Sister, you are absolutely right. This is really delicious. And it's so big. How much does one piece of it have?" Yu Qingmei took another bite and continued chewing in her mouth.
The taste of sweet potatoes was also unanimously recognized by everyone. After eating the sweet potatoes, the three of them started digging sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato vines had dried up at this time, but Yu Qingqing didn't want to waste them, so she put the vines into the space.
After all, there are still some green leaves on it, which can be taken back to feed chickens and ducks.
Yu Qingqing continued digging the same vine and dug out five or six sweet potatoes at once. Each one was big and round, which made her envious.
Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan on the side also dug up the soil according to Yu Qingqing's method. Sure enough, they saw several sweet potatoes next to each other in the soil, and each one was very large.
The more they dug sweet potatoes, the more excited they became, and the more satisfied they felt.
Soon there was a pile of sweet potatoes next to them, like a small mountain.
Yu Qingqing looked around and found that there was no one around, so she put the sweet potato into the space.
After digging for a while, they finally decided they were a little tired.
Yu Qingmei rubbed her aching waist, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Yu Qingqing with a light in her eyes, "Third sister, you said there are really a lot of sweet potatoes. Should we tell the village chief and others? We can't dig up all of them. I look at the area here. Even if the whole village comes to dig, there will probably still be a lot of sweet potatoes left."
What Yu Qingmei said was absolutely correct. This broken place was extremely large, the kind that you couldn't see the end of at a glance.
The sweet potato vines are already all over the ground. Just think about it and you will know that there are quite a lot of sweet potatoes.
Yu Qingqing had also considered this issue. Although her family would not complain about having too much food, there were still many people in the village who were having a hard time.
If we tell them that there are sweet potatoes to eat, it can really save a lot of people.
After discussing it for a while, they finally decided to talk to their father and Village Chief He Qiang first, and then tell Village Chief Liu about the situation here.
Even if the whole village came to dig, there would still be endless sweet potatoes here.
Yu Qingqing has already thought of various ways to cook sweet potatoes, such as making them into dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour, as well as roasting and boiling sweet potatoes. Each one is really delicious.
Moreover, you can save the seeds of these sweet potatoes and plant them in newly reclaimed land.
Suddenly, Yu Qingqing seemed to think of something and found a few sprouted potatoes from the space.
Yu Qingmei came forward and asked curiously: "Third sister, isn't this the potato you mentioned? Why did you take it out? We ate it last time and it was really delicious."
Yu Qingqing took the potatoes and turned around to find a piece of fertile land without sweet potatoes. She smiled and said, "Of course, we should plant this. It will also produce a lot of potatoes later."
"Ah? Is this even possible?"
