Chapter 50: I Forgot My Mother After Having a Sister-in-law
The space spirit said, "This first generation is indeed inedible. It's bitter, astringent, and numbs the mouth, but you have the space, so what are you afraid of? Collect it and raise it."
"Oh." Su Nuan didn't think about why and started digging directly.
There are five eggplant trees and about a dozen fruits.
As she was digging for yams, her hands began to feel numb and itchy. "What's going on? Is it poisonous? I've never seen this before."
The space spirit replied: "It's an allergy. It's okay. You won't be allergic if you cook it."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and dug carefully, "Is this where the roots are planted?"
The space spirit found that Su Nuan had too many questions and it would be a waste of energy to connect with her through brain waves, so he simply input the knowledge of crops into Su Nuan's mind.
Su Nuan fainted immediately.
When she woke up, she saw Ling Yun hugging her. His eyes were red and tears were about to fall.
However, when Ling Yun saw Su Nuan wake up, he blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, the tears were gone.
Su Nuan was speechless. The change was so fast.
She got up and knocked her head, "Xiaoyun, don't eat anything carelessly. It can cause coma or even death."
Ling Yun nodded, "Yeah."
He looked obedient on the surface, but in his heart he was very dissatisfied and thought, "You know you still touch things, aren't you stupid?"
Su Nuan continued digging without blushing or breathing heavily. She was very shocked and happy. Now she fully understood the characteristics of this yam and even knew how to eat it. It was simply amazing.
At the same time, she also understood how to grow yam, so she cut the seedlings and put them aside.
Su Nuan disliked Ling Yun, so she said, "Go look over there. Poke the ground with a stick. Maybe there are some roots you can eat."
"Oh." Ling Yun turned and left without thinking much.
Su Nuan took the opportunity to harvest the yam seedlings, but unfortunately the pumpkins were only as big as a fist, and some of them were rotten.
She also collected the rotten pumpkins with seeds inside.
The potatoes were even smaller, only half the size of a fist, and had green skin. Su Nuan knew that such potatoes were not edible, but they were okay to use as planting blocks.
She was surprised when she found the sweet potatoes. They actually grew in the sand. She heard that there were large areas of semi-sandy land in the north, so this plant would be very suitable for planting there.
Su Nuan happily put the sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines into the space.
It was getting dark, and Ling Yun called out, "Sister-in-law, go home."
Su Nuan stood up and responded, "Okay, let's go home."
She walked briskly and hummed a folk song again.
Ling Yun curled up the corners of his mouth, feeling that such a day was not bad.
However, not everyone feels that life is easy.
When Su Nuan returned to the residential area, she saw many people arguing at the entrance of the cave, and some men were beating women.
But these had nothing to do with Su Nuan, she turned a blind eye and returned to her residence.
When Xue saw them coming back, she asked happily, "How was the harvest?"
Su Nuan placed the sack in the hall and said with a smile, "It's a good harvest. Let's roast some sweet potatoes."
Xue asked in confusion, "What are sweet potatoes?"
Su Nuan assumed she was from a wealthy family and had never seen sweet potatoes before, so she said with a smile, "It's a delicious food, but eating too much can cause constipation, so noble people tend to dislike it."
When Su Nuan took out the sweet potato, Xue smiled and said, "So this is it. I remember a hundred years ago, foreign countries paid tribute to this thing. At that time, a nobleman ate too much and made a fool of himself, so they classified this thing as a cheap food."
"Oh, it seems some remote mountain villages grow it. After all, it's very sweet, and it's nice to give the kids a sweet treat."
Su Nuan nodded. In her previous life, she didn't want to enter the palace, so Su Zhen threw her into the pigpen. She was so hungry that she had to snatch this thing from the pigs.
Su Nuan frowned at the scene that was too painful to recall. Although it would not cause much harm if she thought about it again, this feeling of being choked up was not good at all.
Xue thought Su Nuan was unhappy with her for calling the food cheap, so she quickly explained, "I haven't had anything sweet in a while. Bake something sweet for me. I heard it's delicious."
Su Nuan forced a smile, "Well, is this a lot?"
Xue shook her head. "This is not easy to grow. You see, even with such a large seed, you can only harvest three or four. That's why they only plant some in front of and behind the house."
Su Nuan, “…”
This thing is not for planting roots, but for planting sweet potato seedlings.
In addition, the seedlings must be turned during planting so that they can be in contact with the ground and produce more tubers.
It’s a pity that she couldn’t say it. She would wait until she got to the north and planted it herself.
The sacks were filled with edible potatoes, sweet potatoes and red-threaded tomatoes. Two large bags were enough to last for several days.
Su Nuan poured out everything and placed the tomatoes in the corner. "You have to wait until they are half red before you can eat them. They are not tasty now because they are very sour and contain a slight toxin."
Xue nodded, "Okay, I'll watch it."
Tuantuan said sensibly, "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law...Tuantuan doesn't eat secretly."
Su Nuan rubbed Tuantuan's hair and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law will give you a roasted sweet potato, which is much more delicious than that."
Tuan Tuan's mouth was drooling, "Okay, sister-in-law is the best."
Xue curled her lips, thinking that she had really forgotten her mother after having a sister-in-law.
The old lady looked at them with a smile in her eyes. She suddenly asked, "Nuan girl, can you call me by my common name?"
Su Nuan was stunned. Folk? Isn't the grandmother the same as grandma?
She smiled sweetly, "Grandma."
The old lady's face was full of smiles. "Oh, it sounds good."
Su Nuan giggled, feeling more comfortable calling her grandma than grandmother.
She lit the fire and roasted the washed sweet potatoes on the edge of the charcoal stove.
Xue and Cuiyi began to pick up the things on the floor and put them in order.
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to go out for a while. Mom, please make sure the sweet potatoes don't get burnt."
Xue nodded, "Okay."
Su Nuan looked at the sky. The dark clouds were no longer rolling. This was not a good thing. It proved that the wind in the sky had weakened and heavy rain could fall at any time.
She released the White Wolf family and said, "Go to the mountains and hunt down some wild boars."
The white wolf nodded and immediately left with the child.
Xiaobai appeared out of nowhere and threw himself onto Su Nuan's legs, looking at her eagerly.
Su Nuan thought about it and decided not to send Xiaobai out. "Go in and drink some water, then come out to watch the door. After all, you have passed the clear road."
Xiaobai doesn't care about anything else, as long as he can drink water.
After Xiaobai went in to drink water and came out, the white wolf also drove the three wild boars down the mountain. These wild boars were in a panic and rushed into Cheng Feng’s camp, and the other rushed into the big cave, without knowing who lived inside.
Su Nuan knocked the other one out with one punch and dragged it to Shandong Menicon to kill it.
Unfortunately, when she wanted to boil water to remove the hair, heavy rain suddenly came down from the sky. Su Nuan was caught off guard and was knocked down by the heavy rain.
Xiaobai went straight into the cave, while Su Nuan took the White Wolf family into the space.
She looked at the wild boar and could only drag it into the cave first.
