Chapter 170 Roasted Sweet Potatoes
It's snowing that day.
Mu Chaoge was bored, so he took a few cousins to roast sweet potatoes.
Ask someone to build a bonfire.
There are grilled chicken and grilled meat skewers on top, and a lot of sweet potatoes and taro thrown underneath.
The little cousin asked: "Sister Chaoge, is this really edible? Is this how you bake it?"
The little cousin looked at it eagerly.
I'm so greedy.
My cousins were also suspicious and poked the sweet potatoes with a wooden stick.
Mu Chaoge quickly stopped him, "Hey, hey, hey, don't poke it out. If you poke it out, it won't be baked properly and will be raw later! This will definitely be cooked."
She said she didn't believe it and wanted to take a gamble.
In the end, they all shook their heads and smiled and said they would not bet with her. They said that since she had lived on this farm for so long, she must be an expert, and she would definitely be able to do it if she said she could.
Mu Chaoge said, "It's not fun!" These kids are also very smart.
They started giggling.
Little Peach happily went to get the sauce and asked Sister Dujuan to spread it on the barbecue.
The barbecue was sizzling with oil.
It smells very good.
"I think this barbecue must be better than sweet potatoes. I'm drooling!"
"I feel so too!"
Mu Chaoge told them not to jump to conclusions, "Roasted meat is delicious, but the taste of roasted sweet potatoes is also special!"
She is also very childish.
I haven't had much to do recently and I've been so lazy that I just came out to play with the kids.
The fields were desolate after the winter harvest.
All the food is in the granary and the basement, so I feel at ease knowing that I have enough food and drink.
Mu Chaoge was no longer busy preparing other food, as the existing ones were enough to last until next year.
I finally waited for a long time.
Pull out a few black sweet potatoes from the charcoal fire.
The little ones in the Lu family didn't believe that the food could be delicious at all and looked at them with suspicion.
"How can we eat this? It's all burnt black! Sister Chaoge, let's play chess instead. Don't eat this!"
"Oh, Sister Chaoge doesn't know how to cook everything. She can't even bake sweet potatoes properly!"
"Hahaha, my mom always says Sister Chaoge can do everything. Look at this roasted sweet potato!"
Xiao Taozi immediately retorted angrily, "Our lady knows everything, but it's not surprising that she makes mistakes occasionally!"
Who can be absolutely correct?
Mu Chaoge told them not to worry, "Take it out and let us have a look. The black ones are the most delicious."
The little brats of the Lu family didn't believe it.
Sister Du Juan didn't believe it either. After she pulled it out, she squatted down and took a look. "Miss Third, it's really all black. It's different from the ones Zhang and the others roasted."
They had eaten roasted sweet potatoes before, but they were always roasted little by little over the charcoal fire. The skin didn't turn black and they tasted sweeter. Zhang and her family had roasted them for them.
When the Third Young Miss said that she wanted to throw it in directly, Du Juan felt that it was impossible to do so. But when she thought about how her own young miss had many clever ideas, she never knew whether she could really do so.
He said he knew it was dark.
Mu Chaoge asked them to believe him, "Really? Take them out for you to try. These are the best. I ate them when I went to the farmhouse before."
She accidentally let it slip.
They were very curious, "What is a farmhouse?" "Yeah, I haven't heard of it. Is it a restaurant?"
Mu Chaoge coughed and made up a story: "That's about the idea. Anyway, you guys try it first."
She used a stick to move the sweet potatoes to a plate to let them cool down a bit to avoid burning your mouth. Eating something too hot is very, very dangerous.
It would be fatal if blisters formed later.
Whenever Mu Chaoge thought of it, she would take the opportunity to remind the people around her, especially the children of the Lu family. Although she had to call two of them brothers and sisters, they were actually much younger than her and were just little kids in her eyes.
If they hadn't played games together last time, she wouldn't have the nerve to play with them.
“It smells pretty good now!”
"It really is!"
"Open it and take a look?"
"Ah! It's not black inside! It smells so good, and the color is like a persimmon!"
Mu Chaoge said: "Yes, these are the sweet potato seeds I bought from Sifang Grocery Store. They are very sweet."
She broke it open, letting some of the heat out, and handed it to the children, "Try it."
The children of the Lu family were really easy to raise. When they arrived at the farm, they jumped up and down. When we gave them the black roasted sweet potatoes, they took them readily.
They say it is black because they are afraid that they cannot eat it, not because they dislike it because it is dirty. As soon as they see that there is something edible inside, they start eating it.
The more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes.
"Strange! It's so roasted on the outside, but it's so sweet on the inside!"
"Good times, good times!"
"It's just a little hot!"
"I will never say anything bad about Sister Chaoge again. Sister Chaoge really knows everything!!"
Mu Chaoge also took a half bite and it was really delicious! It had a sweet taste as if it was over-roasted!
The kids ate the roasted sweet potatoes with a sizzling sound. They were still a little hot for their mouths, but that was okay.
Xiao Taozi also ate it, squinting her eyes as she ate, "I said our young lady is the best!"
The children of the Lu family would not look down on servants. They did not care when Taozi defended them and spoke harshly before, but now they echoed Taozi and said, "Yeah, yeah, it's us who didn't recognize the great man!" "Sister Chaoge is so amazing!"
Little Peach was very satisfied.
Sister Dujuan was also very greedy, although she was actually only a few years older than them.
So I picked it up too.
The snacks, big and small, had mouths full of black food, which scared the adults who came over.
"You guys are committing a sin! What are you eating? Are you eating charcoal?"
"If I don't beat you up today, you'll really go crazy! How come you've even led Chaoge astray?!"
"Come here quickly!"
Guan, Tong, and Xia were all terrified and screamed. Seeing these children with black mouths and hands, they were about to faint. How could they look like gentlemen or ladies?!
A whole group of wild monkeys in the mountains.
Feng was so happy that she almost cried. "What are you eating?!"
Mu Chaoge and the others were shocked at first, but when they heard this, they looked at each other and found out how embarrassed each other looked and couldn't help laughing.
Several children of the Lu family had their ears twisted, and they cried out in pain.
Feng came over and hurriedly stopped them, "It's cold outside, how can you twist your ears? Sisters-in-law, stop it."
Mu Chaoge also quickly raised his hand to admit it, and said embarrassedly: "Aunt, I led them to roast sweet potatoes. It's not their fault this time."
These cousins were really loyal by not giving themselves up right away!
Guan and the others were a little bit unconvinced and felt that Mu Chaoge could not do such a thing.
Feng smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe Mu Chaoge's mouth. "Do you think Chaoge is always so well-behaved? Sometimes she can be very naughty."
Mu Chaoge kept looking down at the floor and apologized obediently, feeling a little guilty. This time she really took them out to play because she was bored, but it was indeed delicious!
Who knew that adults have double standards?
When Guan and the others heard that it was Mu Chaoge who did it, they immediately changed the subject and said that it was okay to play around occasionally.
