She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 789: 【758】Beast World Farming 68 (2 more updates)

Those from the external clan who came seeking delicious food were somewhat taken aback when they saw the sweet potato Tiantian handed to them.

Weren’t they supposed to eat some kind of bun in the morning? How did it turn into this thing for them? What is this thing anyway? Can you eat it?

Turning their heads to look, they saw that the family was also eating this thing, and it didn’t smell too bad. So, they tentatively brought it to their lips, took a small bite, and the sweet and fragrant softness exploded in their mouth, making their eyes widen instantly.

"This, what did they just say it was called?"

"I think it’s called a sweet potato. We had it at Amma’s house yesterday," they said. "I didn’t expect we’d get to taste it today too, it’s really delicious."

"It is pretty good. How come they know how to make and eat everything? Why do we only know how to eat meat? Aren’t these things also quite good?"

Having eaten cooked food for two days here had completely opened the door to a new world for them. In the past, they thought eating meat was merely to fill the stomach, but now there was a sense of enjoyment in it. No wonder people say the Nandi Clan is so very good. Now it seems they really are excellent!

A sweet potato was quickly finished, and they were still wanting more, licking their lips and looking longingly at those who hadn’t finished theirs, their gaze quite blatant. Fearing that the remaining one might be snatched away, they finished it off in no time, not even sparing the last bit of skin.

After finishing the meal, it was time to start work. Lili walked over and pointed to the pile of corn outside, "Your task for today is to shell the corn. See? You use this screwdriver to drill some holes in the middle and then begin to pick the kernels into this wooden barrel. Even those that fall onto the ground need to be picked up. The core in the middle and the husk, don’t throw them away. Look, there are baskets over there, just throw them in."

The corn took up too much space; they had to shell it as quickly as possible.

After breakfast and tidying up the kang, Tiantian spread out the sesame seeds she had previously shelled on the kang. Today’s main task was to roast the sesame.

Once the sesame was roasted dry, it could be used to make oil. There was also a queue of peanuts waiting their turn. Fortunately, it was cold now, so there was no worry about them spoiling in the cellar.

However, half-dried peanuts were their task for today. They had to shell the peanuts and save the husks to one side to use later as fertilizer.

Outdoors, the people working sat under a shelter, a stove lit beside them, speaking the local dialect that was incomprehensible to the outsiders. Each member of the family quietly shelled peanuts without disturbing one another.

By noon, Lili began kneading dough inside the house. Tiantian assisted. Once the dough was kneaded, on one side, a pot was set to boil water on the iron stove; on the other side, they let the dough rest on the chopping board. When the pot boiled, they dampened a steamer cloth, and using a spatula, they placed the kneaded dough into the steamer, whether it be steamed buns or steamed bread.

With this one steaming session, they would make two large pots worth, seventy to eighty pieces, but this was not just for the ten people to eat. At most, they would share one pot with them.

They gave them special treatment for a few days when they hadn’t eaten, but this morning they had just eaten, so their appetites definitely weren’t as big as on that day.

With two stoves steaming buns, the remaining stove was used for stir-frying dishes: cabbage with glass noodles, tofu, and cured meat, stewed in a very large pot.

After the meal was prepared, they served a basket of steamed buns and a large bowl of dishes to them first, allotted bowls and chopsticks, and spoons. Before they could start grabbing with their hands, Lili shouted for them to wash their hands, and afterward, she did not care how they ate.

They ate much faster than the family, so they were served enough for one time. The rest was taken into the family’s own house.

After these people finished eating, they seemed unsatisfied and called out at the doorway for Lili. Lang Sen lifted the curtain and went out to see. He gave each one another steamed bun and then shook his head, "No more, if I give you more, we will have nothing to eat. This is the amount for one meal; I cannot give any more."

Even though the others were not satisfied, they thought about the amount they had just had and it did seem to be a fair share, so they turned away to divide the food. Lang Sen took the opportunity to remind them, "Wash your dishes when you’re done. There’s hot water in the pots."

Washing one’s dishes after a meal is also a sign of politeness, and he didn’t care what they thought; he made the arrangements first. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

It was always said that people without awareness and people who don’t know how to work are not welcomed. If you ask them to wash a dish, they’ll wash a dish for you. The basin for eating, the basket for the buns, were still left on the table, with food scraps everywhere, and these people didn’t bother to clean it; they just left it there.
