Chapter 23 We won’t eat

Two pots of dried sweet potatoes are put in the pot to steam in turn. After steaming, just like yesterday, spread out the dried sweet potatoes and put them on the basket to dry.

As usual, Bai Zhuye was left to look after the house, while Su Mulan led the other three children to continue to open up wasteland on the plot of land yesterday.

 Go home for a meal at noon, rest for a while, and then go to the fields to work in the afternoon until evening.

Having been busy like this for two days in a row.

When Su Mulan led the children back from the fields in the evening, covered in sweat and tiredness, she looked at the dried sweet potatoes that could only fill a basketful, picked them up, and checked the hardness and dryness, and finally tore them apart. He put a piece into his mouth and chewed it.

Yes, Not Bad.

 Sweet potatoes are good sweet potatoes, and the three steaming and three drying processes are just right. The dried sweet potatoes taste sweet and delicious.

 “You all want to try it?” Su Mulan held the dried sweet potatoes and let Bai Shuiliu and the four of them taste them.

 Each of the four children took a piece and put it in their mouths.

“Yeah, it’s delicious!” Bai Mi Dou exclaimed, “It’s soft, sweet, and not hard at all.”

 “And the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.”

"tasty!"

“It’s really delicious.” Even Bai Lixia praised it.

“There happens to be a market in town tomorrow. Let’s go to the market and try it out to see if we can sell it.” Su Mulan put away the dried sweet potatoes and grabbed some out. “I’ll save this for you to eat as snacks.”

"Mom, we don't want to eat." Bai Shuiliu put the dried sweet potatoes back without thinking, "I usually eat very full food, so I don't need snacks, so I'd better keep it and sell it for money."

Baishuiliu has been cooking for the past few days, making pancakes and noodles for every meal, and they are all cooked in full quantities. The stick noodles and sweet potato noodles in the vat have obviously gone down a bit. If they don’t make money, , until the time comes to put away the stick, life will be very tight, and maybe I won’t be able to eat by then.

 At this time, making money is more important than snacks or anything like that.

 “Yes, mother, keep the money from selling it.” Bai Zhuye also said.

Seeing that the four little carrot heads were insisting, Su Mulan had no choice but to take the dried sweet potatoes back and said, "Okay, let's sell them first."

 Let’s talk about worrying about the children when we have more money.

However, these children are really very sensible. They all say that children from poor families become masters early, which is really not bad at all.

Su Mulan sighed inwardly, tied together the cloth bags containing dried sweet potatoes, covered them with bamboo baskets, and then told the four children to go to bed quickly.

 The next day, before it was bright, the family got up early and had breakfast.

Today I am going to the town to sell dried sweet potatoes. Su Mulan picked up the bamboo basket and put the dried sweet potatoes in it. After thinking about it, she said, "Shui Liu, come with me to the town to sell dried sweet potatoes. Don't go there today either in Lixia." After clearing the land, filter the grass in the stick field, turn over the sweet potato seedlings, and pick some sweet potato leaves back at noon. "

 This small business will have to be run for a long time in the future, and she will definitely be too busy by then. She must train an assistant as soon as possible. Bai Shuiliu is a sensible and steady person, and Su Mulan is very optimistic about it.

"Okay." The four children responded, each packed up their things and went out.

"Be at home and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters in the beginning of summer. If it's too hot, go home quickly and don't get caught in the heat." Before leaving, Su Mulan did not forget to warn her.

"Don't worry, mom, I know." Bai Lixia agreed and led Bai Zhuye and Bai Mi Dou towards the stick place.

Sumulan and Baishuiliu walked toward the town together.
