Chapter 114: Fantasy Pig-killing Dish

When the students in the military science class heard that they were going to the back mountain to harvest sweet potatoes, they immediately started discussing.

"Xiaoxiao, what is the red...red...thing you planted in the back hill?" Lu Leran touched his chin hesitantly.

"Sweet potatoes." Shu Xiaoxiao suggested.

"Hey, yes, it's sweet potatoes. Can there really be a thousand kilograms?"

Lu Leran chuckled and asked curiously.

Although he had never worked in the fields, he often heard his father reminiscing about the good times and talking about how hard it was in the past. From this, he knew that an acre of land producing 300 to 400 kilograms was considered a good harvest, and a thousand kilograms was something he had never heard of, let alone dared to think about.

"Is it fun to go down there?"

"Will our class be the only one participating tomorrow?"

"Can we go out and play after we finish collecting?"

"Do we still have class tomorrow?"

"Is this red...sweet potato delicious?" As soon as Lu Leran opened his mouth, everyone else started asking questions.

Shu Xiaoxiao also laughed and replied, "Because we didn't plant much, only our class participated. As for whether there are 1,000 kilograms, you will know tomorrow. You may not believe me even if I tell you now!"

In order to prevent them from asking more questions, Shu Xiaoxiao said directly: "Let me tell you, sweet potatoes are delicious. Tomorrow only our class will participate, so we can try some first."

"No matter how delicious it is, it's not as delicious as meat, right?" The person who asked the question was a sturdy student named Yang, Yang Qiyuan.

Compared to Lu Leran who likes to eat everything, Yang Qiyuan only likes to eat meat.

Compared with the liberal arts class, the martial arts class exercises more. Students in the whole class like to eat meat. Although they eat a lot, they are very active, so there is no one who is particularly fat in the class. At most, they are relatively strong. In terms of height, the martial arts class is basically one head taller than the liberal arts class on average. Of course, Shu Xiaoxiao is someone who lowers this average.

Sometimes she was also confused. She remembered that some experts in modern times once said that girls develop earlier than boys, so girls are taller than boys in the early stages, while boys develop later and then grow rapidly later.

As a result, the students in the military science class did not find any late development, and all of them had a body like a little poplar, which made her look particularly thin. This conclusion did not hold true here for dinner. Fortunately, she did not receive any discrimination because of this, but instead received more care, so it didn't matter.

As for Yang Qiyuan's question, Shu Xiaoxiao was also a little stuck. Although everyone has their own preferences for cabbage and radish, she couldn't come to the conclusion that sweet potatoes were tastier than meat.

I can only laugh and say: "It depends on personal preference, it depends on personal preference..."

"Who cares whether it tastes good or not? We have to harvest sweet potatoes tomorrow, which means we have to work in the fields. Have you ever worked in the fields? I don't know if it's fun or not?" Lu Leran said excitedly.

A group of students shook their heads in confusion. They had really never been to the fields.

"I heard that working in the fields is very hard, but I don't know if it's true?"

"No matter if it's true or not, we'll know after we try it tomorrow!"

"Let's go and try it tomorrow. I don't believe that working in the fields can be as hard as practicing martial arts for us."

......

They are all a group of young masters who are ignorant of the sufferings of the people. If they were in modern times, they would be the kind of people who couldn't tell the difference between wheat seedlings and leeks. The main focus is on the young masters who are ignorant of the sufferings of the people.

But even if these people have no experience, as long as they are strong, it will be fine. Digging sweet potatoes is not like cutting wheat, which requires certain skills. But digging sweet potatoes should be no problem.

But since she did the work, she deserves the lion's share of the credit. Apart from anything else, she can still think of a way to solve the problem of eating meat. She can't just go to the cafeteria to eat those tasteless dishes after she's done with her work.

Shu Xiaoxiao licked her lips and thought of the big pot that had been idle since it was used to make salt. Huo Feng had previously disliked her for being wasteful, so this time it should be able to be used.

According to tradition, people can have pig-killing dishes after the busy farming season. With so many people working on that little piece of land in the back mountain, they certainly won't leave it overnight. So tomorrow is both the beginning and the end of the busy farming season, so we can prepare the pig-killing dishes.

When in Qinglian Village, although there were not always pig-slaughtering dinners after the busy farming season, Shu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the meals during those few times.

Especially when she encountered the wild boar, all the women in the village came to help. Each family brought some vegetables and put them in the pot. There was no special seasoning, but the taste was delicious.

She still remembered the general steps and could discuss it with Huo Feng tomorrow. They could go to the cafeteria to find some vegetables, or buy some at the foot of the mountain. It would be absolutely delicious to use that big iron pot to make a pig-killing dish.
