Chapter 1772 Let's dig yam together (Part 3)
In the evening, Lu Xiaoxiao stewed a pot of pork rib soup with the yam and pork ribs she had dug in the afternoon. After she scooped half of the pork rib soup into the space, she poured the remaining pork rib soup into a large bowl, preparing to send it to the masters to drink later.
After dinner, Lu Xiaoxiao looked outside the house. Seeing that it was getting dark, she took the dishes into the kitchen, washed them, and then walked towards the cowshed with the basket.
When she arrived at the cowshed, she saw the masters were eating, so she took out the yam and pork rib soup from the basket and put it on the table, then said to them, "Masters, I went to the mountain to dig yams today. This is the pork rib soup I made with the yams I just dug. Drink it while it's hot. If it gets cold, it will have a strong oily smell."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Mr. Fan and the others quickly drank the porridge in the bowl, then picked up the spoon and scooped a bowl of soup for each of them.
"Xiaoxiao, are all the yams in that yam field ripe?" Old Fan asked Lu Xiaoxiao after drinking a few sips of soup.
"They are all mature and can be dug."
"Don't be in a hurry to go to the mountain to dig yams. After the autumn harvest is over, we will go to the mountain with you to dig yams."
"Mr. Fan is right. Let us take care of the yam. After a year of your care, our bodies are much better than last year.
So this year we will definitely dig yam faster than last year, and we can finish digging the yam field in less than a month. "Foreman Xie echoed after hearing what Mr. Fan said.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart when she heard what Mr. Fan and Foreman Xie said. She knew that Mr. Fan and Foreman Xie loved her and didn't want her to do such hard work as digging yam, so they took all the work on themselves.
But as an apprentice, she couldn't bear to see her masters doing such hard work, not to mention they were so old and should have been enjoying their retirement. But fate had played such a trick on them and made them end up like this.
"Master, Second Master, we don't have to go to the mountains to dig yams this year, because I have told a few of my good friends about the yam field, and they will give me three-tenths of the yams they dig.
Those three tenths of yams are enough for us to eat, so we can spend the winter comfortably this year."
When Mr. Fan heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, he didn't look happy at all. Instead, he frowned. He felt that Lu Xiaoxiao was a bit reckless this time.
"Xiaoxiao, are those people you found reliable?" Mr. Fan asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Reliable. I have known them for not just one or two days, but one or two years. I know what kind of people they are. Otherwise, I would not have brought them to the yam field."
Although Mr. Fan's worries became less after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, he was still a little uneasy because he knew human nature too well. He was afraid that the people Lu Xiaoxiao found would have evil intentions when they saw the food.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw that Mr. Fan looked much less worried than before, she knew that he had listened to what she had just said. However, if she wanted to completely dispel his worries, she could only leave it to time.
"Master, drink your soup slowly. I have to take them to the yam field tomorrow, so I will go home and rest first. You should also go to bed early."
"I understand. You should go back soon and be careful on the road." Mr. Fan said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"I see."
