Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 318 A Group of Greedy Monkeys

At this time, An Yue had already filled her backpack with things.

The village chief shouted to a woman in the crowd, "Erbao's wife, you and Yueyue carry the taro to my house, cook it, and then bring it back here."

Wang Erbao's wife smiled and said, "Oh! All right!"

The woman put the hoe aside and walked quickly to An Yue. She picked up a basket of taro and left with An Yue.

Came to the village chief's house.

Seeing that Qin was digging a drainage ditch, An Yue went up to her and explained her purpose. Qin quickly opened the gate of the yard.

Qin said to An Yue, "Yueyue, you are familiar with your aunt's house. You can just lead Erbao's wife to cook together, and your aunt won't get involved."

An Yuetian smiled and replied, "Okay, Auntie, go get busy! I'll let you taste it when it's cooked."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll get busy now." After Qin said that, she turned around and walked out of the yard.

An Yue led the woman to wash the taro first. After washing it three or five times, the mud on the taro was finally washed away.

After washing the taro, An Yue went to the kitchen to scrub the iron pot, then added half a pot of water into the pot and started to boil the water.

The woman scooped out the clean taro one by one and put them into a wooden basin, then brought it into the kitchen.

Soon, the water in the pot began to boil.

An Yue asked the woman to pour all the taro into the pot, then cover the pot and cook it over high heat.

The woman looked at the water jar and found that there was not much water left in it.

So the woman said to Anyue, "Yueyue, you pass the firewood to cook first, I'll go and fetch a few buckets of water to fill up the village chief's water jar!"

An Yue readily agreed: "Yes, okay."

Wang Erbao's wife is also a capable woman. She is efficient and quick in doing things, which makes people feel happy when they look at her.

In this way, An Yue passed firewood under the stove, and the woman carried the bucket to the well, running back and forth.

Before I knew it, two quarters of an hour passed.

An Yue stood up, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, went behind the stove, opened the lid of the pot, picked up a taro and put it in the bowl.

The taro was very hot at this time. She pursed her lips and blew on it, gently peeling off the skin of the taro, revealing the white and tender taro.

An Yue blew on the hot taro, took a bite carefully, and chewed it gently in her mouth. It had a silky, fragrant, sticky and soft texture.

The woman put the bucket next to the stove, walked up to An Yue and asked, "Yue Yue, are the taro cooked?"

An Yue nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's cooked. Auntie should try it too."

After saying that, An Yue took the taro out of the bowl and handed the chopsticks and bowl to the woman.

Seeing An Yue eating with relish, the woman quickly picked up a taro and put it in the bowl, blew on it quickly, and started eating as well.

An Yue smiled and asked, "Aunt, how does it taste?"

The hot taro rolled back and forth in the woman's mouth. She took several breaths before she chewed the taro and swallowed it.

She said in surprise: "Yueyue, my goodness! It turns out that taro is so delicious?"

After the woman finished speaking, she quickly took another bite.

Soon, the two of them finished eating the taro they had picked out.

An Yue washed the dishes and put them back in their original places.

An Yue suggested: "Aunt, why don't we boil some more water? They must be too thirsty to work."

The woman smiled and nodded: "Okay, OK! Then one bucket will hold the taro and the other bucket will hold water."

As she spoke, the woman began to take the cooked taro out of the pot and put it in the bucket.

The woman said, "The bucket is full, but there are still some taro left. What should I do?"

An Yue stood up from under the stove, pointed to the wooden basin beside her, and said, "Then put it in the basin, I'll carry it later."

Soon, all the taro was fished out.

The woman then cleaned the iron pot and added a bucket of water into it.

The two of them sat by the stove, eating taro while boiling water.

After a while, the water in the pot began to boil.

An Yue picked up a large bowl of taro and placed it on the eight-immortals table, while the woman scooped the boiled water into another wooden barrel.

An Yue quickly ran out of the yard and went to call Qin back to taste the taro.

After a few breaths, the woman carried two buckets of water, An Yue returned to the kitchen and picked up the backpack, and the two of them started walking towards the stream.

At this time, it was already noon.

The villagers who were digging taro by the stream were hungry and thirsty.

An Yue and the woman came to the small path beside the stream, and several sharp-eyed men hurried forward to greet them.

When the taro was brought to the village chief, everyone gathered around.

The village chief said to everyone, "Don't be anxious. Come on, line up and each of you will get four taro first."

The villagers began to line up one after another, each of them looking curiously at the taro in the wooden barrel.

The person standing in front received the taro and quickly sat down by the path and began to peel and eat it.

The first man who tasted the taro laughed and said, "Wow! This... this is so delicious."

Then, the second one tasted it and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, this is much better than sorghum rice and smoother than sweet potatoes!"

……

Those who tasted the taro at the front all praised it highly, which also made the people queuing behind them drool.

After a while, everyone tasted the taro and was amazed by its deliciousness.

Soon, all the taro and water in the bucket were swept away.

After everyone had eaten their fill, they sat on the path beside the stream to rest.

A young man rubbed his abdomen and said with satisfaction: "This taro is really good. I feel full after eating only a few pieces."

An Yue, who was sitting next to the village chief, laughed secretly and said, "Of course, eating taro will make you feel less hungry!"

The village chief asked everyone: "Everyone thinks taro is delicious, can we dig it faster this afternoon?"

Everyone smiled and nodded in response: "Okay, okay..."

Those who came to dig taro were all young people. The village chief pointed at them and said with a smile: "You are a bunch of greedy monkeys!"

The young man who had spoken earlier stood up and said with a smile, "We have rested enough, let's hurry up and dig!"

The others also stood up, picked up their hoes and continued digging.

An Yue and the village chief sat on the side of the road, watching their current state which was completely different from that in the morning.

The village chief lowered his head and smiled, "Girl Yue, you still have a lot of ideas in your head! Look at them one by one, they are obviously more motivated than in the morning."

An Yue suppressed a laugh and said, "Hehe, you are indeed very motivated."

An Yue looked up at the sky. The sun was still appearing and disappearing from time to time, and she felt a little worried.

So she said to the village chief, "Uncle, please take a look at the sky over there."

"What's going on?" the village chief asked while looking in the direction of An Yue's finger.

"I'm afraid that black cloud will blow over here soon." An Yue said with a frown, looking a little worried.

After seeing this, the village chief felt a little anxious.

So, he said:
