Chapter 4： her taro is edible

Chapter 4 Her Taro Can Eat

After Ma Cuihua finished speaking, she pointed to the dark walls of the kitchen room. Only then did Yin Miao notice that the walls and roof of the entire kitchen room were black.

"Okay Cuihua, don't scare people."

Luo Dazhi said when he saw that the face of his family was not good.

"I'm not trying to scare people, this is the real thing!"

Ma Cuihua noticed that the water in the pot was starting to smoke, so she remembered something, turned her head and asked, "What are you going to cook in this pot?"

This family doesn’t even have to borrow food, right?

Their family's food is also precious, and it seems that it will not last until the end of the month. Besides, there are many people in this family. If they borrow food...

"Auntie, let's eat this."

Yin Miao ran back at some point, carrying a small pocket of things on her shoulders.

Under the reflection of the firelight, both the husband and wife could see clearly what it was.

"It's taro!" Luo Xiaobao shouted.

"Where did you get this from?"

Luo Dazhi asked, pointing to a pile of fresh taro on the ground.

"By the lake at the foot of the mountain, my mother and I accidentally slipped into the water."

Yin Miao replied that her explanation also made Ma Cuihua's family understand. It turned out that the wet female ghost Xiaobao said was the family who fell into the water.

Wei Shi also nodded one after another. Miaoer didn't tell the third person what she wanted to see, which made her feel relieved, after all, it was not a glorious thing.

"Oops, this is wild taro, poisonous and inedible!"

Luo Dazhi quickly persuaded.

Every household in the village is short of food. If the large piece of taro by the lake could be eaten, it would have been hollowed out long ago. How could this little girl be in turn?

"Is this really not edible?"

Yin Zhenghong said badly, just now Yin He was so hungry that he could barely stand still. If there was no more food to eat tonight, what would he do with his little grandson!

"Uncle, this is edible, I have eaten one raw, and it's still sweet."

Yin Miao blinked and said with certainty that she was completely fine.

Of course she would not tell everyone that the taro was secretly taken out by her, not the wild taro by the lake.

She also tried to open the initial gift package sent by the system when she and Wei Shi were looking for something. It was a small space, and these taro were dug out of that space temporarily.

Since the system says that all the plants in the space are edible, this taro must be edible.

"What? You ate?!"

Ma Cuihua asked with wide eyes. Although the taro was not fatal, someone in their village vomited on the bed for several days after eating it.

"Yeah, I just tasted one by the lake, isn't it still good?"

Yin Miao jumped again and said.

"Since Sister Miao'er said it can be eaten, let's cook it first."

Mr. Zhang from the third room only felt a burning pain in his stomach, not to mention vomiting, even if it was poisonous, it was better than starving to death.

"Girl, don't you have a stomachache or a headache?"

Luo Dazhi confirmed it again, seeing that the little girl didn't seem to be in trouble, so he stopped discouraging her.

After washing a small pile of round taro, Zhen Shu and Sanfang Zhang worked together to pour the taro into the smoking pot.

Seeing that the family was all around the pot waiting eagerly for the taro to cook, Luo Dazhi took Ma Cuihua and went back first. Luo Xiaobao originally followed the couple out the door, but ran back in less than two minutes.

"If you guys go wrong, Xiaobao remembers the way to Langzhong's house!"

Luo Xiaobao showed his head beside the door frame.

His words made Yin He want to teach him a lesson, but Yin He has lost his strength. He is now sitting on the short stone steps where firewood is placed, and he doesn't even have the strength to support his legs.

Yin Miao was not angry, she called Luo Xiaobao and asked him about Changling Village.

Six or seven-year-old children don't know much, but he does know the details of the surrounding families.

"Brother Toshiko's grandmother died two days ago, and Brother Toshizi didn't come out to play for the past two days."

Luo Xiaobao said that he used to follow Li Jun from the same village, but these two days were too boring, so he developed a strong curiosity about the "exiles" next door.

"When a relative dies, one should keep filial piety at home." Yin Miao looked at Wei's third wife, who was burning a fire, and replied to Luo Xiaobao's words.

"Grandma Li didn't die, she was starved to death."

Luo Xiaobao retorted.

The whole family was attracted by this sentence, and Brother Han immediately asked: "Why did you starve to death?"

"Because there is not enough food for every household, Grandma Li feels that she is wasting food, and she refuses to eat anyway, so..."

Luo Xiaobao said sadly.

Yin Miao suddenly realized that the situation here was a bit like the last days she had been in, and the same people starved to death.

"The land of exile... Sure enough, everyone is poor, and the Yin family has been completely rejected by the emperor!"

As soon as Yin Zhenghong's words came out, the whole family fell silent.

Originally, the eldest and the third asked for their orders to go on the expedition, just to add glory to the Yin family who had not contributed in these years, because the expedition to Nanxiao was very sure, but it was counterproductive. cost.

Yin Miao also had a lot of thoughts. In such a place with little food and clothing, if her small space was exposed, it would definitely cause a lot of disputes. The matter of space must not be discovered by the people of the village.

And the Yin family is in such a situation now, it is hard to say whether the several rooms in the family can be united.

Thinking about it, a hint of sweet smell attracted the gluttons in everyone's stomach.

The fragrance is fragrant and attractive, Wei Shi can't help but recall the syrupy taro that she had eaten in Fuzhong. The smooth and tender skin of the taro was covered with a layer of syrup. a lot of secretion.

Even Luo Xiaobao, who had eaten wotou, stared blankly at the iron pot on the stove.

"Are you ready?"

Yin Zhenghong looked at the three daughters-in-law standing side by side, but all three shook their heads in unison.

The third wife, who had never cooked, was at a loss.

"It should probably be familiar..." Wei Shi said uncertainly.

"Should we try it first?" Mrs Zhang was the most hungry and just wanted to grab one for everyone to try.

Yin Miao sighed: "I used to have a friend who told me that the taro should be steamed for a quarter of an hour. If you forget the time, you can poke it with chopsticks to see if you can pierce it."

"So it is, Sister Miao'er, who is your friend? You know so much."

The second uncle Yin Bowen asked, he thought the girls in the capital were just talking about dressing up.

"She... is called Du Niang."

Yin Miao replied in a hurry and wisdom.

Du Niang?

The family didn't seem to have heard of a young lady with this name, but at this time, the grandmother Liu Shi had found a clean thick bamboo stick, and Zhang Shi lifted the lid of the pot and stabbed it in.

"Poke in!"

Mrs Zhang said happily, the taro is already cooked!
