304 Planting Sugarcane
Old Madam Wang remained calm and brought Little Ah Yu to the Wang Family’s granary.
Old Wang’s family now had a large house specially used to store food. There were several large piles of food inside, all surrounded by straw mats. They were bundled up in round baskets, and the inside was filled with food.
After avoiding the others, Old Madam Wang found 20 large baskets in the granary and asked Little Ah Yu to put all the food into them.
Little Ah Yu had cultivated 20 types of food. Old Madam Wang had not checked them carefully before. Now, she realized that not only were there beans, but there were also a few herbs.
There was even a type of thick sugarcane that was about ten feet tall and as thick as a baby’s arm.
Thinking about it, she had gone to Nanhe Third Street with the old man previously to buy food. The old man had seen some sugarcane as well and bought it.
Little Ah Yu directly released more than 100 sticks of sugarcane.
After being released, it occupied half of the granary.
Old Madam Wang: “...”
This thing was even larger than she had imagined. It would be a miracle if the villagers believed that they had secretly transported it back.
As she was thinking, Little Ah Yu pointed at the sugarcane and said, “Grandma, the elf said that this thing is edible. It’s especially sweet!”
Old Madam Wang came back to her senses and replied with a smile, “Is that so? Then Ah Yu, have you tried it?”
“No.” Little Ah Yu shook her head honestly. “These are the grain seeds for everyone. I didn’t steal it.”
Meatball had even asked Little Ah Yu to try it. Little Ah Yu was adamant and insisted that it belonged to everyone. She could not eat it secretly.
When a human cub became stubborn, no amount of words would make sense no matter what. Meatball understood it deeply, so it naturally did not continue to persuade her.
Old Madam Wang instantly had mixed feelings. “Good child.”
It was impossible to take this out directly. She had to think of a way to hide it.
Even if some of the villagers might have already guessed that their grain seeds had a mysterious origin, as long as they did not affirm the open secret, they would always have a layer of safety.
“You can try it. Wait a moment,” Old Madam Wang said. She took a scythe from the wall at the side and cut off a piece of sugarcane.
The sugarcane juice was rich and crisp. When bitten, it would not have the texture of biting onto the sugarcane. Instead, the texture would be more similar to eating a pear.
Little Ah Yu took a bite and juice flowed out of the corner of her mouth. “Grandma, this is so sweet! It’s even sweeter than candy!”
Old Madam Wang also tasted a little and was extremely surprised. This was countless times sweeter than all the sugarcane she had tasted before.
She instantly thought that she could use this sugarcane to make sugar.
Originally, the land in Wangbei County was not considered rich. There were no families who grew sugarcane. Perhaps the sprouts that Ah Yu had obtained was already the leftover portion.
Actually, Old Madam Wang’s guess was right. The sugarcane sprouts that Little Ah Yu had obtained were just the small ones with a bit of green on the top. At that time, it was only as thick as two fingers.
However, with the spatial pocket, it was not difficult to upgrade the species.
Little Ah Yu stopped eating after eating a portion. She patted her small stomach and said that she won’t be able to sleep if she ate too much.
As soon as she finished speaking, Little Ah Yu rubbed her eyes and yawned.
Old Madam Wang carried Little Ah Yu back to her room. “Ah Yu, sleep first. We’ll go to Great River Village tomorrow morning.”
After all, she had already promised Little Ah Yu to bring her to look at Dalang’s wife.
After Little Ah Yu fell asleep, Old Madam Wang returned to the warehouse again and thought about the pile of things in the warehouse for a long time.
In the latter half of the night, Old Madam Wang came to Wang Chuanfu’s door, wanting to wake him up to work.
Later on, after thinking about it, she turned and went to Wang Dalang’s room and woke him up.
“Dalang, be quiet. Follow me.”
Wang Dalang followed Old Madam Wang in a daze.
In Wang Chuanfu’s room, he snuggled deeply into Madam Feng’s arms.
Oh my god, what did he see?
He actually saw a ghostly shadow swaying outside the door of his room, even baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
It made him not even dare to relieve himself!
He had no choice but to hold it in.
How terrifying.
