Chapter 506 Yacon

Chapter 506 Yacon

Hearing this, Su A'nai was stunned at first, and then smiled brightly, "If you want to pound rice, your niece has already bought rice and glutinous rice. Not only does she have to pound the rice cake, but she also has to pound a few pieces of bait. The glutinous rice also needs to be pounded. I want to pound some and use it for New Year greetings.”

"Your niece is already so old, and she still acts like a child. You have already promised to squeeze some gourds for her. My family does a lot of cooking. If I do it together with you, you will probably suffer a loss."

Su Yongyuan smiled and said, "It's okay to say you have to suffer a loss or not, so it's settled. When the time comes, I'll have to come to your house to pound the steamed rice. The pestle and mortar in my house is a bit small, so it will probably be very slow."

"Okay, then you don't need to take the lard anymore, just carry the rice on your back, and eat at home after pounding it."

The day for pounding the rice cakes was simply decided, and Su Wenyuan and the others drank a bowl of tea and left.

There was no one else at home, so Su Ziling began to check the things she brought back. She just opened the hole in the col and took a look, but didn't have time to see what was going on.

Ah Xiu and Su Ah Nai also gathered around when they saw this. The three of them were bent over, heads to heads, watching eagerly.

Su Ziling opened the sack and poured the stuff out. Looking at the fur balls on the ground, Axiu blinked, "Sister, what... is this? Why are they all hairy?"

"Taro!" Su Ziling brought the sack over and started to pick it up. Those with buds or many buds were put into the sack. Those without buds or broken ones were put aside. Eat those that can be eaten, and those that cannot be eaten. threw.

"Taro?" Axiu looked curious. He picked one up and looked around, "Is there such a big taro? Aren't all taros this big?"

She held it with five fingers and gestured to the size that she could hold just now.

"This type of taro is different from the water taro we eat. It is bigger, has better meat quality, and is more pink. Pick it out first, and then you can plant it after the Chinese New Year. By then, you will not be able to eat all the taro flowers and stems. "

Thinking of the bone bream stewed with taro flowers and taro stems, Su was so greedy that she swallowed her saliva.

There were not many taros, so Chen San bought a sack. The taros were big and there were only a dozen in a sack. She picked and picked. The buds were all good, but only two of them were damaged. She simply let go. I'm keeping it aside, planning to cook it and eat it tomorrow.

After picking the taros, she tied them and put them aside, then poured the potatoes out.

"What is this?" Su A'nai's eyes were full of confusion, "It feels a bit like yam eggs."

"This is a potato. It has a high yield. The most important thing is that it is delicious. It can be eaten as a meal. It has a special texture, pink and glutinous. It has a high yield and can be eaten in many ways. You will not get tired of it no matter how you eat it. We will plant it in the river when the time comes. The land next to it is the most suitable. It is close to the water source and has sandy soil, which is most suitable for potato growth. "

Su Ziling picked the potatoes very quickly. The potatoes won’t be planted until February. So there’s no rush to pick the sprouts just yet, just check to see if there are any bad ones.

"Are you sure you can eat it? Why does it feel like it's poisonous?" Su A'nai asked uncertainly.

Axiu also nodded, "It feels numb."

Su Ziling: "..."

She didn't know how to explain it, because looking at the shape and color of these potatoes, she also felt that it might make her mouth numb. (Put another picture)

"No more peppers on the land by the river? The harvest this year is pretty good. I'll continue to plant them here next year. If I put some manure on them, I guess they will produce more peppers. And there is a river next to it, so watering is easy." Su A Nai said.

This is the best land for their family. Although it has sandy soil, it is closest to the river and is more convenient for watering.

"Let's change the field for the peppers. Let's take care of the potatoes first. Grandma, get a basin and put these potatoes in. Let's eat fried potato slices and shredded green peppers and potatoes in the evening. We'll try Grandma's potatoes tomorrow." Su Ziling picked up the potato. The ones that came out were piled aside, and they continued to look at the Tougua.

You can't grow the soil melons, so you have to eat them yourself. But next time, you can ask Chen San to help buy some seeds and plant them back.

She picked a few slippery ones, went to the well, washed the dirt, and gave one to each of Su A'nai and the others.

"This is a potato. It's crispy and sweet. You all should try it. Not only can it be eaten raw, but it can also be cooked. Let's try frying it later."

Axiu got the soil melon and turned it around. She didn't see the reason and just opened her mouth to eat it without asking.

"Axiu!" Su Ziling called out to her, "This one needs to be skinned."

"Ah?" She groaned, then slowly closed her mouth, watching Su Ziling's movements without blinking.

"That's it, do you understand? Peel off the skin before eating."

After peeling off the skin, the melon is white, smooth, and looks juicy.

"Ah Nai, this is for you." Su Ziling handed the peeled piece to Su Ah Nai.

He picked up another one and peeled it off. He glanced at Axiu from time to time and saw that she knew how to peel it, so he left it alone.

"It's really sweet, tender and crispy, and juicy. Don't you want this?" Su A'nai took two bites, and her eyes and eyebrows stretched.

"This tuber cannot be used to make seeds. You have to use the beans it produces. Next year, when Chen San and the others go there again, let him ask some questions."

Su Ziling held the soil melon in one hand and pulled the soil melon on the ground with the other hand.

"what?"

Su Ziling exclaimed.

Her hand pulling at the tugua paused for a moment, but soon she sped up and picked the tugua aside, revealing what was underneath.

Su A'nai naturally noticed her movements, "What's wrong? Huh? Isn't this a sweet potato? Why are there a few sweet potatoes in it?"

Su Ziling didn't care about eating the potato anymore, "Grandma, help me get it."

She handed the half-eaten tugua to Su A'nai, and carefully took out the obviously different shapes from the bottom.

Gently scrape a little of the skin with your fingernails, revealing the tender yellow flesh inside.

Su Ziling slowly turned her head to look at Su A'nai.

Looking at her sparkling eyes, Su A'nai looked confused.

"Grandma, look!"

Su A'nai lowered her head and glanced, "Huh? The heart of this sweet potato is still yellow, which is different from our white heart sweet potato."

Su Ziling shook her head slightly, "This is not a sweet potato."

"Not sweet potatoes?" Axiu also began to look at them, "These are sweet potatoes, look." She pointed to the sweet potatoes piled in the corner of the yard, "They all look the same, but you, sister, have darker skin. "

"This is not a sweet potato, but a yacon!" Su Ziling explained.

"Yacon?"

Su A'nai murmured in a low voice, "The name is quite nice."

"Ang! Not only does it sound good, it's also delicious. It's even better than potato melons." Su Ziling pulled out three yacon fruits, and only five yacon fruits came out. She treasured them very much, "There are only these few, so we won't eat them. Let’s plant it in the vegetable patch next to the field.”

"One yacon tree can weigh about ten to twenty kilograms. When the time comes, let's put some manure in it. Five yacon trees will be enough to dig a basket."
