Chapter 124

The two golden taro plants planted around the little spiritual bud grew very fast because they were bathed in spiritual energy every day. In just a few days, they had already jumped to more than one meter and nearly two meters high.

Under Su Ci's command, Xiao Langze grabbed a leaf stalk and cut it off easily with a knife.

There are about three or four such leaf stalks on a plant. The long and straight petiole is topped with a large egg-shaped leaf, like a small umbrella, which can form a large shadow.

And under these leaves is one of Xiao Zhengxing's favorite hiding places. Now he is reluctant to dig out the whole plant.

Just as he thought of this, a large leaf stalk was stuffed into his hand, and at the same time, the boy's hearty laughter rang out.

"Xingxing, this is fun! Hold it for you!"

The petite little boy held the long and big leaf stalk of the golden taro in his hand. Because he was too weak, he could only stick the leaf stalk halfway on the ground and hold it with his two small hands.

With the support of the leaves, he looked more and more like an innocent little kitten.

Su Ci couldn't help but rub the kitten's head with his hand, and then continued to look at the cubs who were working.

The noisy little Langze had already run back and continued to cut off the remaining leaves, and then together with his friends, he took a shovel and dug in the ground.

The golden taro, also known as golden taro, the edible part is the tuber at its root, because the skin is golden yellow, hence the name.

Its tuber is very shallow, and it only takes a few shovels of soil to see the top of the taro.

"Is this the golden taro?" Xiao Lujiao touched the round top of the taro and couldn't help saying, "It really looks like a head." As

he dug the soil, he couldn't help but think of the first day they followed Brother A Yan to water and fertilize the seedlings.

The seedling that was so small before has grown so big now! Although he watched it grow day by day, he still finds it incredible when he thinks back on it.

"It does look like it." Rong Heng said.

Xiao Lu Li didn't say anything and dug the soil quietly.

"Brother Ayan said that taro can also taste like potato chips. Ah, I really want to eat it right away! I tell you, potato chips are delicious..."

Little Langze talked while digging the soil, chattering all the time, with excitement written all over his body.

Listening to his description, whether you have eaten potato chips or not, your hands will inevitably move faster.

Seeing how hard they work, Su Su should give them some taro to eat later, right? The cubs couldn't help but think.

Finally, with the cooperation of the cubs, about 20 minutes later, the first golden taro was finally dug out.

The taro was golden yellow in color and very large, with a diameter of more than ten centimeters and a length of more than forty centimeters. It was so heavy that it was difficult for Xiao Langze to hold it.

Although they were very tired and everyone was dirty, they couldn't help but smile when they saw the abundant harvest, and felt that all the fatigue was swept away.

After a short rest, Xiao Langze jumped up and said, "Okay, let's continue digging the second one!"

Rong Heng and the others felt that they had rested enough, so they also got up and prepared to dig out the remaining golden taro in one go.

However, when they looked at the other golden taro, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I saw two girls approaching the golden taro at some point, and Xiao Xuewei, who was very cute and gentle in both appearance and personality, was holding a golden taro in her fair and tender hands.

The size of the golden taro was about the same as the first one, or even bigger, but...

Xiao Xuewei actually lifted it up with one hand!

This was a very shocking scene, which stunned the boys. Even a calm man like Rong Heng opened his mouth slightly.

Only Xiao Luli had a calm and numb expression.

As for the focus of attention - Xiao Xuewei, the boys suddenly looked over and scared her.

Realizing that she was still holding the golden taro, the little girl quickly put it down, and then explained a little awkwardly: "I... I just wanted to help... I wanted to cut off the leaf stalk first..."

Who knew that she just exerted a little force, and the whole golden taro actually came out of the ground.

"Maybe... maybe this piece of land is looser?" Xiao Xuewei tried to save her image.

Facing her explanation, Xiao Luli nodded calmly, and Xiao Langze and the others... looked at the golden taro at her feet that was even bigger than the one they dug out, they really couldn't agree with this.

Even if the land was really loose, they couldn't lift such a big golden taro with one hand!

And...

they looked at Xiao Xuewei's face. The little girl's face was indeed a little red, but it looked more like shyness, not a blush due to exertion.

Xiao Langze was more direct. He lifted his feet, walked over with a puzzled look on his face, and then grabbed the golden taro

. He couldn't lift it with one hand...

He used both hands, held his breath, and then lifted the big taro and hugged it with his arms.

Even so, he was so tired that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Xiao Langze didn't waste any more energy. He looked at Xiao Xuewei, compared their heights and body shapes, and compared their fists with disbelief.

"Weiwei, you are so strong!" He couldn't help but sigh.

"Chirp!"

The little tit standing on the girl's shoulder proudly puffed out its chest.

Xiao Xuewei's face was already red with shame. She put her hands behind her back and whispered, "I... I didn't..."

She lowered her head slightly, and her two long rabbit ears drooped low, as if she had done something wrong.

Xiao Langze didn't notice her embarrassment at all. He now felt that it was reasonable for Xiao Xuewei's rabbit bloodline to be called a ferocious beast.

With such great strength, who wouldn't be confused!

"Where is your limit? How heavy can you lift at most?" Xiao Langze asked curiously.

Xiao Xuewei blinked, and she looked up carefully. She saw that there was only pure curiosity in the boy's eyes, but no fear or disgust. She felt her mood sinking to the bottom of the valley and could not help but slowly float up.

She still remembered the time when she was sent back to the orphanage by her husband. People around her, especially the adults who took care of her, always looked at her with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a monster.

Thinking of the time when her bloodline went berserk and injured her husband, Xiao Xuewei hated her ability even more.

If she couldn't even accept it herself, how could she expect others to accept her?

However, after she accidentally revealed her strength, Xiao Langze's reaction surprised her. She was stunned for a moment and looked at the other teenagers.

There was shock and surprise in their eyes, but there was no fear and disgust as she imagined.

Huh? Why is it different from what she thought?

Xiao Xuewei couldn't help but lower her head and looked at Xiao Lihua standing beside her. The girl tilted her head slightly, and a pair of eyes that looked like hers stared at her with amazement and admiration.

"Sister Weiwei, you are so amazing!" Xiao Lihua said, "even more amazing than my brother!"

Rong Heng, who was standing next to her, suddenly changed his expression when he heard this, but...

He looked at the big taro at Xiao Xuewei's feet. Although he was stronger than Xiao Langze, he was not as strong as Xiao Xuewei...

He pursed his lips and went forward to try.

The little lion was quite strong. After all, the red-tailed lion was famous for its physique, so he was able to lift the big taro with one hand, but the veins on the boy's forehead were already bulging.

Obviously, this action was not easy for him.

However, Xiao Lihua did not notice the difference. She clapped her hands and said in a very flattering manner, "Brother is also very good!"

Rong Heng then put down the taro in his hand. He looked at Xiao Xuewei with a cautious look in his eyes.

The girl just slightly bent her lips, looking calm and relaxed, which inexplicably reminded Rong Heng of the keeper. He could not help but turn his head to look at the young man.

Su Ci was also looking at them, or to be more precise, at Xiao Xuewei, and his eyes seemed to be shining.

Su Ci was naturally satisfied with Xiao Xuewei's "prowess". He did not expect that rabbits were not only good at digging holes, but also good at pulling radishes... No, no, they were also good at pulling taro.

This was good, as it meant that he would have another good helper in the future.

Anyway, the cubs accepted Xiao Xuewei's great strength well, and after the initial shock, they gradually adapted to it.

After all, Su Su was also thin and weak, but when she got angry, she was really super invincible and terrifying!

This inevitably gave the cubs a wrong perception - the thinner and weaker people looked, the more terrifying their strength might be!

Xiao Xuewei didn't know how much she had caused her companions to have a big deviation in their perception of the world, but when she saw that none of the cubs disliked her, she still smiled happily. It

's so nice here... Just like Su Su said, it was really her luck to come to the nursery!

So next, under Su Ci's command, the cubs took the two golden taro they had just dug out to the kitchen to wash them.

Luo Shengfei watched eagerly. He actually wanted to help - this way he could stay and eat the taro with a legitimate reason.

Unfortunately, he was chased away by the cubs as soon as he approached. These little guys actually complained that he was in the way.

Finally, he had to look at Su Ci.

Su Ci didn't want to pay attention to him. Although the two taro seemed big, they were not enough for him to eat for two days. What's more, there were nine cubs in the nursery now, and a little fat bird had to be added.

"Well, okay then!"

Although Luo Shengfei was greedy, he didn't force it. After all, they grew the taro with hard work. He didn't make much contribution except clearing the land.

"I'll come and help you clear the rest of the land tomorrow."

The coverage of the greenhouse covers the entire yard of the nursery, so it is not difficult to remove all the remaining metal floors.

Seeing the land behind change from barren to green, Luo Shengfei couldn't help but feel emotional.

Maybe, when there are more and more plants in the future, he will be able to get some? Keeper Su... he won't be so stingy all the time, right?

Su Ci thought for a moment, and pointed to 4583, which happily flew away with the cubs. After the transformation, its movement speed has caught up with 4586, and its current functions in all aspects also make Su Ci satisfied.

"What's wrong?" Luo Shengfei was confused.

"You need a few more modified robots." Su Ci said, "I will send you the specific requirements."

Luo Shengfei looked at him hesitantly, "But..."

As a result, Su Ci pointed to the fruits on the rope net and said to him: "One robot, five star chain fruits."

Luo Shengfei's eyes suddenly lit up like searchlights, and he nodded without thinking.

"Deal!"

After Luo Shengfei left with satisfaction, Su Ci was the only one left next to the green space.

He looked at the leaf stems that were left in place, stretched out his hand, and only left the largest one for Xiao Zhengxing to play with, and burned the rest into ashes with red flames.

Sprinkle the ashes evenly among the green space, and then take out a bag of ashes from the space button.

These ashes were left after Ran Lie burned the giant spiders. Based on the principle that waste is shameful, Su Ci collected them and prepared to use them to fertilize the fields.

He looked at the land that had not yet been planted, stepped lightly on the ground, and all the hardened soil became loose.

Su Ci sprinkled the ashes on it, then opened the control panel of the greenhouse, selected the area, and clicked on the sprinkler mode.

"Swish-swish--"

The nozzles installed above the greenhouse sprayed out a fine mist of water. These nozzles were connected to the water purification system of the nursery, wrapped in a faint aura, and merged into the soil together with these ashes.

The land, which was accustomed to silence, seemed to sigh with joy with this irrigation.

A Yan led the cubs to the kitchen. Ran Lie, who had an epiphany here before, had left at some point. Of course, except for Xiao Xuewei who looked at him twice more, the other cubs didn't remember him.

With the help of 4586, they first poured two basins of clean water and washed two taro roots that were half the size of Xiao Zhengxing.

It was originally a very strenuous physical job, but with Xiao Xuewei's help, it became easy.

The young boys secretly competed with each other. Although they knew that blood talent was difficult to compete with, they did not want to lose too much to Xiao Xuewei.

After cleaning, the big one was left for the next day, and the small one was carried to the table under A Yan's command. Then the part connected to the leaf stem was cut off and kept. It should be possible to plant new golden taro by burying it in the ground.

When the taro was cut open, you can see that the tuber inside is a light milky yellow color, and it smells very lightly of milk.

At this time, Xiao Xuewei finally remembered.

"I have eaten this kind of golden taro!" She said in surprise, because the ones she had eaten were all served on the table and processed, so when she saw its original appearance, she did not recognize it at first sight.

"Is it delicious?" Xiao Langze couldn't help asking.

The other cubs also stared at her - mainly because the taro was too big and not easy to cut, so A Yan finally decided to let her do it, and she naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

However, after gradually adapting, Xiao Xuewei was no longer so shy, and dared to show her strength in front of other cubs.

Hearing Xiao Langze's question, she nodded and said, "It's delicious! Taro can be steamed, boiled, fried, and pan-fried. There are many ways to cook it. It can also be made into taro paste cakes, which are so fragrant and delicious!"

Xiao Langze swallowed his saliva frantically, then quickly looked at where A Yan was, and called him coquettishly: "Brother A Yan..."

The boy called softly and sweetly, which was very different from his usual image. The other cubs had adapted well, and even Xiao Lu Li only glanced at him in surprise.

Only the newcomers, Xiao Xuewei and Jiujiu, looked at him in shock, completely forgetting to manage their expressions.

Of course, if A Yan hadn't been invisible, they might have seen Xiao Langze grabbing his clothes and acting cute...

A Yan was also quite calm.

He looked at the wolf cub that was wagging its tail crazily and looking at him pitifully, and silently memorized the wolf cub's actions -

although it was a bit embarrassing, he felt that Su Su seemed to be quite fond of it!

And this did not stop him from using the communicator to say: "If you perform well, I will ask if I can give you some too."

"Great! Brother A Yan is the best!" The wolf cub jumped up happily.

The other cubs also showed joy on their faces.

Next, they followed Ayan's request to peel and cut a large golden taro. While doing this, Ayan asked them to wear waterproof gloves.

"Why do we have to wear gloves?" Xiaolu Jiao asked.

"Because taro bites people."

Ayan's answer immediately attracted the cubs' surprised eyes, but soon, after asking the base's intelligent computer and getting a more detailed explanation, they understood.

It turned out that taro secretes a substance, and direct contact with the skin will make it itchy, just like being bitten by an insect.

After learning new knowledge about taro, the cubs became more cautious.

Although Xiao Langze wanted to try to see what it felt like to be "bitten" by taro, he held back when he saw the blond boy next to him.

He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the stinky monkey!

In addition to handling taro, there was also meat cutting. Xiao Langze, who had improved a lot in knife skills, showed off his skills perfectly in front of Xiao Luli.

Seeing that Xiao Luli's cutting was obviously worse than his, Xiao Langze was very happy, but for the sake of the candy before, and the meat was for Susu, he reluctantly gave him some pointers.

Xiao Luli, who was having a hard time dealing with the piece of meat in his hand, couldn't help but look up at him and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Langze couldn't help but snorted and pouted, "Don't get me wrong, I haven't planned to make friends with you yet. You want to buy me off with a piece of candy? Dream on!"

He said this very impolitely, but Xiao Luli was not angry. He just nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that Xiao Luli didn't even respond after he said so much, Xiao Langze suddenly felt very boring.

He pouted again and didn't care about Xiao Luli anymore. He concentrated on cutting meat.

When it was dinner time, Su Ci sat at the table and saw a table full of more abundant dishes than before.

Spider meat, which was made into various kinds of shapes by A Yan, now has another way to eat it - steamed meat with golden taro.

The soft and sticky taro is already a rare delicacy just by steaming it. When the surface is covered with slices of meat of moderate thickness, and then drizzled with oil and seasonings and steamed, it becomes even more fragrant, which makes people feel hungry just by smelling it. In

addition to steaming meat with taro, A Yan also boiled a pot of taro soup with taro. The golden taro with a faint milky aroma was cooked until it was soft and sticky, and the refreshing sweetness of magic honey made it taste so good!

Of course, the taro chips that the little wolf cub has always been thinking about are indispensable.

Cut the taro into thin slices and fry it until crispy, then sprinkle it with the seasoned spices. It tastes crispy and delicious, much better than potato chips.

Su Ci was of course very satisfied with the meal, and at this time he heard A Yan ask if he wanted to give it to the cubs to try.

He said, "You decide."

Now there is enough food, and there will be more and more in the future. The cubs have also worked hard. In addition, Su Ci has been sharing food with A Yan more and more, and he has gradually become more generous.

At the same time, he trusts A Yan more and more. He has given A Yan full responsibility for food.

Feeling this trust, A Yan couldn't help but grin. Seeing Su Ci eating with satisfaction, he felt happier than if he had eaten the food himself.

So, under the premise that the cubs deliberately slowed down their eating speed, A Yan finally showed up in the restaurant and lived up to everyone's expectations.

After eating most of the barbecue the night before, the cubs tonight got a small plate of taro steamed meat and a bowl of sweet and warm taro soup.

"Taro is so delicious! It tastes as good as meat!" Little Langze couldn't help but sigh when he took the first bite of steamed taro.

Moreover, this taro gives you a satisfying feeling of fullness. After steaming, it is soft and sticky, just like jelly, you don't need to chew it much, but it is much more delicious than jelly.

Little Langze never knew that plants can be made so delicious!

"Brother Ayan is the best!"

Hearing this, Xiaolu Jiao and the others couldn't help but agree, and even Xiao Zhengxing nodded slightly.

Barbecue is delicious, and taro is delicious too!

The sweet and sticky taro syrup is even sweeter to the cubs, and soon tied with barbecue for first place, becoming one of the cubs' favorite foods.

"We will plant a lot of taro in the future! Only three plants are too few!"

There is still a golden taro that is not planted near the spirit bud, and it is not big yet. It may take some time to harvest a good harvest.

However, the cubs have already started to look forward to it, and at the same time they are beginning to wonder if Yuxue and Yingcuidou are as delicious?

This meal, the cubs are more satisfied than before.

The feeling of fullness brought by the staple food is something that eating barbecue and jelly paste alone cannot give, and many of them are experiencing this feeling of fullness for the first time, and they feel happiness more clearly.

It's so nice to have Susu here. I really hope I can eat so much every day in the future! All the cubs are looking forward to it so sincerely, and they sincerely hope that Susu can stay with them forever.

A Yan looked at them and couldn't help but smile.

After the meal, led by Xiao Xuewei, everyone helped to clean up the dishes before leaving.

However, as soon as Xiao Langze came to the corridor with Xiao Zhengxing on his back, he was stopped by Xiao Luli.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Langze subconsciously became alert.

Xiao Luli seemed not to notice his vigilance, reached into his pocket, took out another candy, and handed it to him.

Xiao Langze was stunned: "You...what are you doing?"

The blond boy standing in front of him said innocently: "Didn't you say that one candy can't buy you?" If

one can't do it, then two can.
