After Yunxi left the courtyard, it was still broad daylight outside, and there were still many children running around.
You can also hear parents calling their children home for dinner.
It seems that the shouts are often heard in the village every time it's mealtime. They have to shout it every time, and it seems that no child is the kind who is very obedient and goes home to eat on time.
If we run into someone we know on the street, we'll greet each other and chat for a bit about whether we've eaten or where we've been.
Although it's not very informative, it seems like that's how everyone talks when they chat; there's not much serious stuff to talk about.
When we arrived at the private plot, there were quite a few people there. They were all from other private plots in the village, and they were tidying up their plots before it got dark.
As long as there's no one around her private plot, Yunxi doesn't have to worry about being discovered.
I walked straight up and first observed the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. I even pinched the corn to check its plumpness; it was indeed almost ready to be harvested.
I also dug up some potatoes. Although they looked edible, the sprouts on the potatoes weren't yellow yet, so I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.
Ten days to half a month is usually enough, but sweet potatoes take the longest, at least a month or more.
Yunxi ran out to take a look at the sweet potatoes buried in the ground. They weren't very big, and it seemed like if they continued to plant them, they wouldn't grow much bigger.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes that grow now are not very big, but they still taste quite good when eaten.
There are those that can be ground into powder, but they don't taste very good. You can also just eat the sweet potato. This kind is sweet, and it tastes even better after being steamed.
Seeing that the radishes and cabbages in the field had already sprouted, he took advantage of the fact that no one was around and used his spatial abilities to scatter the things in his space that could be used as fertilizer on the radishes and cabbages.
Give them some fertilizer, hoping they'll grow a little bigger before harvest.
After spreading the fertilizer, I secretly watered them, but not a drop of water was used; it was all wasted and ended up in the soil.
I only watered the radishes and cabbages; the others didn't need watering. The corn and potatoes didn't need watering because they were almost ripe, and the sweet potatoes were planned to be watered later.
Looking at the tiny vines that had sprouted anew on the sweet potatoes, which were now particularly tender, Yunxi suddenly remembered the taste of the sweet potato stalks she had eaten last time. She simply squatted down and started breaking off the sweet potato stalks.
The sound of breaking a sweet potato stalk is particularly crisp and clear, and it sounds quite nice.
I spent half an hour walking through the sweet potato field, picking all the ones that I thought were tender and delicious.
We can't harvest the rest, since the sweet potatoes are still growing in the ground and the leaves are still needed.
Holding a small bundle in his hand, he put the rest into his spatial storage, and carrying the small bundle of sweet potato stalks, he prepared to go home.
"Yunxi! Are you eating raw vegetables? Is there no food at home? If there is no food, tell your aunt and come to your aunt's house to pick some vegetables."
They were quite hospitable, inviting me to their home to pick vegetables to eat.
"Thank you, Auntie, but no need. We have plenty of vegetables at home, we can't possibly finish them all. I just thought that the sweet potato stalks from the field, after removing the strings, are quite delicious when stir-fried, so I specially picked some to eat."
"Really? Yunxi really knows how to eat. We never thought of peeling it into strips. When we didn't have anything to eat before, we would just chop it up, put it in a pot and cook it. We didn't have the energy to peel it into strips one by one."
"Because my aunt is so busy, she has to take care of the children at home and all sorts of things at home. She manages the house very well, and everyone praises her for being a good homemaker."
Unlike me, I have so much free time, which is why I have the time and energy to think about it.
Hearing Yunxi's praise, the sister-in-law who was talking to Yunxi couldn't stop smiling.
She felt that Yunxi was right. It was because she was busy with family matters that she didn't have time to do anything. If she had time, she would definitely do a better job.
“Yunxi is right, I’m just too busy. You know, if it weren’t for you and me, I don’t know how we would get by. We can’t do without me.”
Yunxi smiled and nodded, "Auntie is right. Even if a family is missing, no one can be missing Auntie!"
Perhaps he flattered her too much, because what was originally just a casual chat between two people who bumped into each other on the street and were about to leave was actually a chance encounter.
But now they don't want to leave. They keep talking about Yunxi, wishing Yunxi would say more words of praise for them.
Looking at her, Yunxi felt that she had never been affirmed by anyone before, and now she had finally received affirmation from Yunxi, as if she wanted to talk to her for three days and three nights.
Finally, seeing that the sun had already set, Yunxi quickly told her aunt that it was not safe to go out in the dark, and the two of them ended the conversation and couldn't wait to go home.
When Yunxi got home, she felt a little relieved. She hadn't expected her aunt to be so talkative.
I was quite impressed. It seems I can't keep praising my aunt when I chat with her next time, or she'll keep letting me keep praising her.
When Yunxi got home, she found that the chickens in the backyard were clucking incessantly.
It's speculated that it killed its companion in front of them during the day, which frightened it and caused it to remain restless.
It's already so late, should we feed them again?
They went straight to the backyard, took out a lot of snails from their spatial storage, smashed them with bricks, and threw them to the snails to eat.
Consider this compensation for the fright the bags suffered this morning.
Hopefully, those chickens will learn their lesson and behave themselves after eating the good food I gave them, so I won't chop them up whenever I'm in a bad mood.
Yunxi added a little more water to the broken earthenware pot. Watching the chickens scrambling to eat the snails, she felt that this hurdle should be cleared, and they wouldn't keep chirping at night.
I went back to the front yard, boiled a big pot of water, washed up properly, and then took out several basins from my spatial storage to prepare to knead more dough tonight so I could continue the work I did this afternoon tomorrow.
Those big meat buns are just so delicious. If I eat them for breakfast and lunch, a little bit is simply not enough for me.
Since we're going to do it, let's make a lot. Without yeast, the dough ferments very slowly, so it should rise by the time it's ready to be ready overnight.
