Xu Hao smiled and said, "Sanya, did you forget about the sugarcane root? It's okay, I can get it myself."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the sugarcane root to the side.
"Don't move!" Sanya said. "We're not handing over the sugarcane roots today. We don't even have enough for our own family."
Xu Hao laughed and said, "Don't you have sweet potatoes and vegetables at home? Why don't you share some sugarcane roots with us?"
Sanya said seriously, "Uncle Xu, you should know how many people there are in our group. There are more than a hundred people!"
what does that mean?
Based on our usual standard of living.
One pound of vegetables is enough for two people, so our group would need to consume at least 50 pounds of vegetables.
One pig is enough to feed a hundred people, but think about it, every time a pig is slaughtered, my family sends some here and some there.
Whatever my family had, we never skimped on giving to the team.
They hand over 100 jin of perilla leaves to the team every day. Do they really think I have a lot at home?
It was because everyone needed it; the weather was cold, and my grandfather was worried that people would catch typhoid fever and coughs, so he handed over so much to the team.
After handing over the work to the team each day, only twenty kilograms were left for my family.
With so many of us, even half a bowl of perilla water wouldn't be enough for each of us.
Even so, if the team needs to buy perilla leaves, our family will still sell them, simply because they need them.
Don't be fooled by how much food our kids get every day; it's because my grandparents love us dearly and never let us go hungry. They always save the best food for us.
There's a joke circulating in the team: if you want to know what food the Zhou family has, just look at what the Chen family kids eat.
If we're hungry, we can eat Smilax glabra, sugarcane, and cornbread.
But what do the adults in my family eat when they're hungry? Sugarcane roots!
They never eat the good stuff themselves, saving it all for us.
Why do you think my family is holding onto these sugarcane roots so tightly? My family is also short of food.
Just like everyone else in the team, sometimes we go hungry, sometimes we eat well, it's all the same!
Sanya was telling the truth. Even with Xiaobao's ranch and her sister's mini world, they could barely make ends meet with food.
If her sister goes to Sha Niu's place and brings back food, their family can have a feast for several days.
Once the silly girl needs to update her diet, the adults in the family can only eat half full each day.
Xiao Bao's ranch alone could support this large group of people.
However, not only do we have to feed them, but we also have to hand over the money to the team and sell it to the team members. That's hardly enough for them to eat their fill.
Every day, we regularly hand over a certain amount of amaranth, perilla, sugarcane, and sweet potatoes to the team.
For plants like radishes and Smilax glabra, there's only one pit, so the daily yield is just so-so. Otherwise, we wouldn't only cook such a small amount of radish stew with pork ribs in the morning.
Things are better now; Xiao Bao has an extra burrow, so he can get a little more food.
But, silly girl wants to update again!
They said it would take five days, but who knows if it will drag on for as long as last time.
Seeing that he couldn't get the sugarcane root, Xu Hao had no choice but to give up, after all, everyone had seen what had happened to the Chen family.
They hand over so much food to the team every day, and they still come to the team to collect food every day.
Although they would slaughter pigs and sheep to eat meat from time to time, they would also hand some over to the team from time to time, and they would even think of handing over some salt to the team.
People always say the Chen family is stingy, but the truth is that the Chen family is more generous than anyone else.
As he left, Xu Hao looked reluctantly at the pile of sugarcane roots and asked for a handful of sugarcane leaves to take back and feed the team's donkeys.
The Chen family's donkeys eat such good fodder every day that their coats are shiny and they are full of energy.
The second son's wife brought out three large radishes, which were newly harvested by Xiao Bao. There were no more if he wanted them.
Remove the radish leaves, wash and peel the radish, and cut it into thin strips.
Add half a pot of water to a boil, add some lard, then add the shredded radish and blanch for about 1 minute.
Drain the shredded radish. If the radish shreds are long, you can cut them into several pieces so they are easier to fry. Squeeze out the excess water from the radish.
Place the blanched shredded radish in a bowl and crack an egg into it.
If you had steamed buns, you could tear them into small pieces and add some in; that would make the fried meatballs crispier.
Add a little oil to prevent it from becoming watery, and then add salt to taste.
Add cornstarch; too much cornstarch will make the meatballs hard. Mix well and then fry.
Pour oil into the pot. You need enough oil to fry the meatballs. When the oil reaches 50% heat, test it with chopsticks. If small bubbles appear, the oil is ready.
Use the lowest heat, wash your hands thoroughly, grab a handful of the mixed radish, squeeze out a ball using your thumb and forefinger, and put your other hand into the oil pan.
Place all the meatballs into the oil without turning them; turn them over only after they have set.
Fry the meatballs for about 2-3 minutes, until they turn golden brown, then remove them from the oil.
Use chopsticks to scoop them up and place them in a strainer to drain the oil. The crispy radish balls are now ready. Eat them while they are hot for a crispy and delicious taste.
The second son's wife didn't even need to call out; Chen Nong and the others would just scramble to eat it themselves.
"It smells so good! It tastes so good!" Xiao Bao said happily.
The eldest son's wife took out perilla leaves and eggs, preparing to make perilla and egg pancakes.
Chop the perilla leaves and sprinkle them into the beaten egg mixture, then fry them into a pancake shape.
After cooking, cut it into triangular pieces for easier eating. The texture is somewhat similar to toon omelet, but the aroma of perilla is stronger than that of toon.
The eldest son's wife laughed and said, "Don't fight over it, save it for your food on the road."
Daya said happily, "Mom, fry more, I still have some Dudu bird eggs here."
The fourth brother and the other teenagers didn't compete with the children for the delicious snacks.
"This iron axe is pretty good!" the fourth brother said after trying it out.
The iron axe was dropped by Lao Wu when he killed three wild men. He killed three of them and got three of them, and Da Ya took them all out.
The fifth brother sighed sadly.
He upgraded Gousheng, spending 200 energy points to reach level 2, which increased his backpack capacity by 1 cubic meter, giving him a total of 2 cubic meters of space.
Gou Sheng has leveled up 2 times. It now costs 20 energy points to draw a prize once, but he has also unlocked the Farmer slot, which allows him to bind a farmer.
Just like Xiao Bao's, the farmer helps to farm energy points.
But the silly girl is updating again, and I can't get in!
Even more tragically, after Gou Sheng leveled up, he didn't have enough energy points left for a ten-pull, and even with lottery tickets, it still wasn't enough. He was still short 60 energy points, or 3 lottery tickets.
The inability to do ten consecutive draws means that he won't get the lucky draw card, and even he himself won't be able to enter the game anymore.
The fourth brother comforted him, "Cheer up, Gousheng will definitely hold some events to give away lucky koi cards during the holidays."
The fifth brother knew he could only wait, waiting for Gou Sheng to hold an event and give away lucky draw cards.
"Let's go, let's go burn charcoal!" said the fifth brother.
Not only was Lao Wu worried, but Chen Kai was also worried.
Even after the update, you still can't use glass bottles to hold water in Mini World.
He had previously burned sand into quartz sand, synthesized glass, made glass bottles, and tried to fill them with water, but it didn't work.
He wanted to make a wooden barrel to see if it could hold water, but the barrel hadn't been unlocked yet, and even after finding the materials, he couldn't craft it.
