But a sweet potato that can be roasted thoroughly in an air fryer in 40 minutes is definitely not the one Qiao Qiao holds in his hands.
He stared at the sweet potato in his hand happily, then quickly took out a branch and scraped off the mud on it:
"I want to bring this to the king!"
However, Song Youdra came over pulling the sweet potato vines and smiled when she saw this: "This bunch looks like they are all red-skinned. If you want to eat them, just dig them somewhere else. The red-skinned ones are choking."
"Okay!" Qiaoqiao had already put the big sweet potatoes into the basket, and while pulling the roots out and digging them out, he said, "Then I'll dig one for each of them. After I'm done digging, I'll change the place. I want to eat raw.”
Just as he was talking, he heard Wang Lifen calling him from the field ridge ahead: "Qiao Qiao, come and dig here. What is revealed is a white-skinned one. The white-skinned one is crispy and sweet when eaten raw!"
Qiaoqiao instantly threw the nest of red-skinned ones behind her head and ran across several fields.
Seeing this scene makes the barrage feel sad and envious:
[Give it to me, I won’t pick it]
[I just love the red-skinned ones steamed and eaten! I don’t like Baipi’er’s watery look]
【Me me me! Anchor look at me! I love eating raw food too! 】
[This old variety of raw sweet potato must be crisp, sweet and chewy, right? The sweet potatoes and smoked potatoes sold now are hard and have a bad taste when eaten raw. 】
【Cooked! Sweet potatoes are the best! The old varieties are too big for one person to eat]
[Speaking of which, it’s getting cold soon. Isn’t it time for the anchor’s family to cook pig food? When I was a kid, these old varieties of large sweet potatoes were chopped and fed to pigs]
【hateful! When I think about those pigs eating better than me, I really want to eat pig-killing vegetables! 】
It had rained two days ago, and the surface of the land was slightly dry, but underneath it was moist. Qiaoqiao took the branch and dug it down skillfully - it didn't matter if the skin was broken, since they were all going to be eaten soon anyway.
Soon, a huge nest was dug out!
"Wow!"
He was pleasantly surprised: "They look great!"
Isn’t that right? This batch of white-skinned sweet potatoes is simply a favor potato! The two ends are pointed and the middle is rounded, and the diameter of the middle part is about seven or eight centimeters, which is the ideal sweet potato state.
Moreover, this batch of sweet potatoes are all about the same size, and there are no pits, scars, etc...
Qiaoqiao was so happy that she sat down on the ground and started to distribute the sweet potatoes:
"This one is buried in the stove, this one needs to be steamed, this one needs to be boiled with sweet potato porridge, and this one needs to be eaten raw - ah, there are also my sister's!"
"You also need to dry the sweet potatoes! Cut them thicker and dry them half-dry. They will be very sweet when you bite them! They are not too hard and chewy..."
Everyone in the live broadcast room was almost crying.
[I knew that the live broadcast suddenly started without any notice, either showing off delicious food or preparing to eat delicious food]
[Woooooooooo, I want to eat too! ! 】
[This nest of sweet potatoes looks really good! It's standard and big. It's steamed in a pot in a rural earthen stove. I don't know how sweet it is! 】
[When talking about dried sweet potatoes, it reminds me of what I ate when I was a kid. It tastes particularly good in the first few days after it has been dried for a long time, but it doesn’t taste good after it has been dried for a long time. 】
【I remember it too! In order to keep it dry and hard until the Chinese New Year, I have to grind my teeth for half an hour if I take one piece out and hold it in my mouth! 】
[When I was a kid, I didn’t have anything to eat during the Chinese New Year! My mother lit candles on New Year’s Eve, took a hacksaw blade, and wrapped sugar at home]
【? ? ? Lighting candles on New Year's Eve is not powered on? What are you doing with the sugar? 】
[Hahaha, the person in front looks young at first glance]
[The candle is lit to burn the hacksaw blade, and the hacksaw blade is burned to seal the plastic bag. 】
[The reason for sealing plastic bags is that every household buys bulk sugar and packs it themselves]
[Childhood memories that were about to disappear appear! A bottle of wine, a bag of sugar... I walked around while visiting relatives, and finally found out after the fifteenth day that they had been sent back to my home again. 】
[Hey guys, it’s already the Chinese New Year... I want to eat this sweet potato right now! 】
[Does the anchor sell dried sweet potatoes? 】
[Damn it, if I can’t do it, I’ll take the position of king. Just leave that big sweet potato to me.]
[Curious, the dried sweet potatoes when I was a kid were all grey-yellow, not the orange-red ones sold now...]
The appearance of a few simple sweet potatoes instantly ignited the enthusiasm of fans in the live broadcast room. Everyone was talking a lot, either reminiscing about the past or looking forward to the New Year, and they were obviously very involved.
But Qiaoqiao didn't have any of this sense of participation.
When he was born, everyone in the family had a Nokia. At most, he still has memories of his grandma occasionally cutting sweet potatoes into slices and putting them on the bamboo curtain when drying sweet potatoes. He then dried them for a day and a half before eating them. The texture was also delicious. It wasn't very good, I just remember that there was white starch powder on it.
But if he doesn't watch the barrage, he naturally won't think about the past now. But it was quite distressing to find that even though this nest of sweet potatoes was big and plentiful, after counting my sister and my parents, the quantity was obviously still not enough.
"I want to dig out another nest!"
He held the branch very seriously.
Grandma said with a smile: "Then just dig it in this ridge. They are probably white-skinned. Take it home and you eat it first. Your grandpa and I don't like it."
"Why?" Qiao Qiao raised her head in surprise.
Grandma cut the sweet potato vine neatly and said in a relaxed tone: "I ate enough when I was young!"
"And your dad. Your dad didn't eat anything when he was a kid. He either ate sweet potatoes or went to the mountains to find wild fruits every day... The sweet potatoes burn your heart, and the wild fruits are sour and the more you eat, the hungrier you get... We don't like them."
Qiao Qiao blinked blankly, not quite understanding why there was no food. When he was at home, his sister would often buy her food when she was in school.
But he didn't ask. There are always some weird little secrets that adults can't explain. He won't know until he grows up, but now he wants to eat sweet potatoes even more!
So he lowered his head, took the branch and moved forward along the hole just thrown.
Song Youde dragged the sweet potato vines to the side of the road and came back again. Seeing how energetic he was, he couldn't help but say: "This silly boy, after the sweet potato vines were finished, he took a hoe to dig them out. He also took a tree stick and put it there. Pry again..."
"You don't care!" Wang Lifen rolled her eyes at him: "As long as the child is happy... I'll tinker with your phone later and see if anyone can help me. We can straighten this sweet potato pole."
She said, turning over another layer of sweet potato vines: "Look, a lot of them are still tender and can be eaten."
Song Youde nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Tantan to ask the old guys who make the mat together to come over and take care of the meal in the evening, and ask them to help us pick up more sweet potato stalks in the afternoon."
Then looking at the sweet potato field, he couldn't help but straighten up and think:
"It's getting cold right now and we're cooking pig food. With so many sweet potatoes, we might save a lot of money!"
When the unattended live broadcast room in the distance heard this, he instantly went crazy——
[Pigs can eat it, why can’t I? ! 】
I really love eating sweet potatoes raw, but the sweet potatoes and smoked potatoes I have bought over the years are delicious when cooked. If eaten raw, it will be extremely hard, not watery enough, and not very sweet.
So if you guys have any delicious recommendations! Please, please, comment and recommend!
Update 1, there is one more.
