Du Xiuheng went to wash and came back. Seeing that Du Xiaoli had not finished, he asked, "what are you doing to eat?"

    "I saw the sweet potato I moved back yesterday and wanted to get some sweet potato cakes to eat." Du Xiaoli felt that the steaming was not bad. He retreated the fire, and then opened the lid of the steamer. The smell of sweet potato came to his nostrils.

    After washing, Du Xiuheng came over and watched Du Xiaoli clip the sweet potato into a bowl with chopsticks, then slowly press it into sweet potato mud, pour in the glutinous rice powder and mix it evenly with chopsticks.

    "Sister, when will you cook?" Du Xiuheng looked at Du Xiaoli suspiciously. Yesterday''s hare soup was good, and today''s sweet potato cake had not been heard from her before.

    "I just think about it. I think it''s OK." Du Xiaoli replied. After that, he ran to wash his hands and came back to pinch the sweet potato into a palm sized, finger wide cake. Then he took down the pot and put it on the cooking pot and asked Du Xiuheng to light a fire for her.

    When the bottom of the pot was hot, she poured the vegetable oil into the pot. When the oil was hot, she put the kneaded cake into the pot to fry. When both sides turned yellow, she found a bowl to put it in.

    Soon, a bowl of sweet potato cake was made.

    Du Xiaoli gave Du Xiuheng a small piece with chopsticks, watched him eat it and asked, "how''s the taste?"

    "It''s delicious! I didn''t expect that sweet potatoes could be eaten like this." after Du Xiuheng ate it, he exclaimed one after another.

    "Then wash your hands and come back to eat." Du Xiaoli smiled happily when he saw that Du Xiuheng liked it. After loading all the cakes in the pot, I washed the pot and put the hare soup I didn''t finish yesterday into the pot.

    "Well, it smells good. Xiaoli, what are you doing? It smells so sweet!" Niu Jing passed Du Xiaoli''s yard and smelled sweet potato cakes. He couldn''t help stopping to talk.

    Du Xiaoli looked at Niujing and said with a smile, "I got my brother some sweet potato cakes. Grandpa Niu, would you like to come in and have a taste?"

    "Good!" Niu Jing pushed the dilapidated fence and went in, followed by Han Mingyi and the two men in black.

    "Grandpa Niu, who is he?" asked Du Xiaoli, who was still at his home the second time he met.

    Niu Jing took his chopsticks, took a piece of sweet potato cake and took a bite. The sweet but not greasy taste spread in his mouth. His whole face was so beautiful that he stretched out. When Du Xiaoli asked Han Mingyi, he swallowed the sweet potato cake in his mouth and said, "this is the grandson of a friend of mine. He came to me to recuperate for some time because he was ill. Just call him brother Xiaoyi."

    "Oh. Brother Xiaoyi, do you want to eat?" Du Xiaoli washed a bowl, then put a piece in the bowl, reached Han Mingyi and asked.

    They have all come to their own homes. Why should they have fun. However, according to her research on such people in her previous life, he would not eat, so she just meant it.

    Sure enough, Han Mingyi looked at the golden sweet potato cake in the bowl and turned his eyes to the mountain behind him. He didn''t even say a word.

    "Sultry!" Du Xiaoli couldn''t help muttering. Then she gave it to the two men in black, and unexpectedly refused.

    Niu Jing has two hobbies in his life, one is medicine, the other is food, and he also likes drinking. However, he seldom drinks because he can''t see a doctor after drinking. Seeing that Han Mingyi didn''t eat, he took the bowl and said, "he doesn''t eat me! Xiaoli, how do you make this? It''s so delicious!"

    "It''s very simple." Du Xiaoli didn''t like Han Mingyi very much, but she liked Niujing very much. She told him how to make sweet potato cakes. After that, she filled him with a bowl of hare soup.

    Niujing took a sip of hare soup and said, "we also used the hare stew last night. Why isn''t it as good as you? What did you put in it?"

    "Just put some salt and mushrooms picked in the mountain." Du Xiaoli replied. When he finished drinking the soup, he took the bowl and asked, "Grandpa Niu, what are you doing in the mountain this morning?"

    "I''ll go to the mountain to find some herbs, and take Xiaoyi to the mountain to see, climb and exercise." Niu Jing replied.

    Du Xiaoli looked at Han Mingyi''s pale face and his robe. He didn''t speak to beat him. He''s like this. It''s no use exercising for long. But Niu Jing''s words showed her a way to make money. "Grandpa Niu, do you think if I dig up and sell the herbs on the mountain, will the medicine shop accept them?"

    "Of course, the medicine shop will collect the herbs, but no one should dare to collect the herbs you dig." Niu Jing said with a smile.

    "Why?" Du Xiaoli asked conditionally. In her previous life, she was called a wonderful flower in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. There were not many medicinal materials she didn''t recognize. She despised her?!

    But she forgot that she was just a seven year old girl now. Who would believe that a seven year old girl could distinguish herbs?

    "You haven''t studied medicine or medicine treatment. Who dare you?" Niu Jing said when he saw Du Xiaoli''s small face.

    "What if I can dig up useful herbs?" Du Xiaoli asked.

    Niujing saw the dilapidated house and knew that Du Xiaoli had no land and could only find other ways to make money. He said, "if you dig up medicinal materials, you can sell them to me. I''ll sell them to the medicine shop in the county town."

    "Really?!" Du Xiaoli looked at Niujing, some of whom couldn''t believe it. "Of course it''s true. No, you have to learn to identify the medicinal materials first, otherwise you can dig all the poisonous, useful and useless materials, and I don''t have the time to clean them up." Niu Jing was also happy when he saw Du Xiaoli''s jubilant appearance. "Thank you, Grandpa Niu!" Du Xiaoli wanted to go to Niujing and kiss him. "Ha ha, then you go back to my house to learn about medicinal herbs. Well, now I''ll take them around the mountains. Have breakfast quickly." Niu Jing patted Du Xiaoli on the head, got up and took Han Mingyi and them to the mountain. Du Xiuheng came to Du Xiaoli after Niujing left and asked, "sister, are you really going to learn medicine?" Du Xiaoli nodded. It''s not that she wants to learn medicine, but that she will. If she doesn''t learn anything and inadvertently reveals that she can learn medicine in the future, she will be in trouble at that time. "Since you want to learn, you can go. Whether you can make money or not is secondary. My brother will support you." Du Xiuheng said firmly. Maybe Du Xiuheng didn''t say this to her, but at that moment, Du Xiaoli felt that his heart had never been warm. After breakfast, Du Xiuheng and Du Xiaoli didn''t go anywhere. They sorted out the furniture at home. When the sun was about to set, they saw Niujing coming down the mountain. "Girl Li, remember to come to me tomorrow to learn how to identify herbs!" Niu Jing shouted at the house when he passed by their house. Du Xiaoli ran out of the room, waved his little hand to Niujing and shouted, "I know, Grandpa Niu. I''ll be there tomorrow morning."
