Chapter 27 Digging Sweet Potatoes
Zhang Xiaowu quickly stuffed the last mouthful of baked steamed buns into his mouth, freed his hand and lifted the lid of the pot, and the rich sweet smell instantly filled the entire kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, this is the taste." Zhang Xiaowu rubbed his hands excitedly, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up the smallest one.

Blow it and eat it.

"Xiao Wu..." Mrs. Zhang didn't have time to stop her, what if something bad happened, she looked at Zhang Xiao Wu eagerly.

But the latter was indeed delighted, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." couldn't speak with excitement, "It's so sweet, everyone..."

Zhang Wangshi breathed a sigh of relief, but was still very worried.

He stepped forward and took out all four of them from the pot, and set them aside to dry.

"Ah..." Zhang Xiaowu yelled, his face flushed.

"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, my sister-in-law is going to find a doctor." Zhang Wang thought she had been poisoned, and her face turned pale with fright.

But before he went out, he was dragged by Zhang Xiaowu.

"Water, I want to drink water."

Zhang Wang had no choice but to scoop up a ladle of water and give it to him, and Zhang Xiaowu drank it all in one gulp.

His face gradually returned to normal, "Dasou, I'm fine, I was choking just now, this is delicious, try it."

After speaking, he took another one on his own, and started to eat. This time he learned to be smart, took a ladle of water and put it aside, took a sip of water, and took a sip of this unknown thing.

Zhang Wangshi breathed a sigh of relief, instead of eating, she went out to find Fubao.

This method of steaming was proposed by Fubao.

"Sister-in-law, is something steamed?" Fu Bao threw down the small wooden stick and ran into the kitchen, the rich sweet potato aroma made her salivate.

The house is full of miscellaneous grains and coarse grains, and the porridge is mixed with bran. Although she doesn't need to drink it, it feels uncomfortable to watch. If all the sweet potatoes can be dug out, the whole family can improve their food.

Thinking of this, Fu Bao cheerfully picked a medium-sized piece, broke it in half, and handed the other half to the sister-in-law.

Then he ate on his own.

Seeing how delicious Fu Bao was, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help taking a small bite. It was soft, sweet and delicate.

But it is a bit dry and needs to be mixed with water, no wonder Xiao Wu choked just now.

"Sister-in-law, it's quite delicious." Fu Bao muttered, "By the way, let parents try it too."

"Okay." Mrs. Zhang Wang put the remaining sweet potatoes in a bowl, and followed Fu Bao to the main room. Zhang Xiaowu didn't move.

He was full now, and he was by the fire again, so warm that he didn't want to move.

"Mother, do you want to try it?" Fu Bao held up the sweet potato to Zhang Liushi's mouth, and Zhang Liushi subconsciously took a bite.

"Which shop is this dim sum? It tastes good, and it's quite sweet." Zhang Liu pursed her lips, and it was indeed good.

"This is not a snack, it's the mud balls brought back by my fifth brother today." Fu Bao said seriously, "After washing, the skin is dark red, so I named it Sweet Potatoes. "

"Sweet potato?" Zhang Liushi stopped her needlework.

What Xiao Wu dug out from the mountain was really edible, and it was quite delicious.

"Yeah." Fu Bao nodded, "Wash it clean and steam it."

Mrs. Zhang and Liu glanced at the elder, who nodded, proving that what Fu Bao said was true.

Mrs. Zhang and Liu let out a long sigh of relief. This is a good thing, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Go and call your father back, and then take people up the mountain to dig this sweet potato."

"I'll go right away." Fubao got the order and ran out cheerfully. Her father was basically basking in the sun at the entrance of the village, so he went straight to the entrance of the village.

Old man Zhang was chatting vigorously with others, and was very unhappy when he was interrupted, but when he saw that it was Fubao, he immediately smiled again, and happily followed his daughter home.

After Mrs. Zhang and Liu finished talking at home, the old man Zhang decided immediately with excitement, and immediately took Zhang Boss, the second child, the third child, the fourth child and the fifth child up the mountain.

"Fifth Brother, you can go. Although Dad wrongly blamed you, but you will definitely praise you if you take them there now." Fu Bao persuaded Zhang Xiaowu who was hiding in the kitchen.

"Will you praise me?" Zhang Xiaowu finally regained some vitality in his listless state.

"Yeah." Fu Bao nodded.

This fifth brother is really a child.

"Okay, then I'll go." Zhang Xiaowu patted the ashes on his body, followed the crowd to tidy up, and then led the way.

Old man Zhang saw that Zhang Xiaowu looked a little unnatural, but he still patted him on the shoulder, "Good job."

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, with his head held high.

Fu Bao looked at the crowd of people, holding a hoe, and frowned, "Father, there are too many people, what if others find out and dig sweet potatoes too."

Old man Zhang was dazzled by excitement just now.

At this time, after Fu Bao's reminder, he realized that it seemed to be the case. As the old saying goes, good fortune never leaks out.

"Father, let's just pretend we're going up the mountain to cut firewood." The boss at the side reminded him aloud, he also tasted that sweet potato just now, the taste is really amazing.

"Yes, then take a few axes." Old man Zhang said quickly, and after everyone packed up, Fu Bao tugged at his sleeve, "Father, you can't go, you don't usually chop firewood, this time follow Go, others will definitely think more about it.”

Old man Zhang looked in the direction of the mountain with a look of reluctance. He wanted to see it even if he didn't work, but Fu Bao said so. If someone else finds out, the sweet potato will not fall into their house. up.

"Then I won't go, you go." After speaking, he watched the brothers leave.

Fu Bao took the sweet potatoes and went to the barn. Seeing Wen Heng who was writing, he couldn't help slowing down. He looked at the beautiful lowercase characters on the paper with envy on his face.

How much effort has been put into writing such beautiful characters at such a young age? Thinking of this, Fu Bao felt a little distressed. It's really hard to be the prince's son.

"Why are you here?" Wen Heng looked at the sweet potato in Fu Bao's hand.

"Give you food, this is delicious, you try it."

Wen Heng hesitated for a moment, but thought it was Fu Bao's wish, so he took a sip, and it tasted really good.

Fu Bao stared at the words on the table, hey, isn't that the Three Character Classic.

"Why are you copying the Three Character Classic?"

"There is only one at home, and it's very old. When you go to school later, Rui Geer still needs books to go to school. It's too expensive to buy, and it's very cheap to copy one." Wen Heng explained to Fu Bao while talking. .

Hearing this, Fu Bao's eyes lit up, and it was a good idea to copy the book, "Shall we copy the book and sell it?"

"I only copied one copy in two days, and the bookstore is six hundred. How much are you going to sell for one copy?"

"Then let's sell it for [-] Wen."

"And this paper. The total cost of pen and ink is three hundred Wen." Wen Heng shook his head and said, and asking him to copy books and sell them for money is too embarrassing.

"That can earn two hundred Wen, but it's too hard, so let's forget it." Fu Bao didn't force it, "Hey, it would be great if I had money."

Looking at Fu Bao who was sitting on the bench with his chin resting on his hands.

Wen Heng frowned, and couldn't help asking, "What do you need money for? The money is enough for us to study."
