Si Sheng and Suxue were not busy resting when they came back. They went directly to Zhao's camp and borrowed several large pots and some wooden frames from the cooperative. These were purchased when they were making dried tofu in Majiazhai, and they have never been used.

I'm willing to throw it away.

Si Sheng picked up a bag of soybeans from the bullock cart and was about to pour them into the pots.

The Ye family felt a little strange when they saw Si Sheng and Suxue busy, but they did not stop them and just sat there and watched curiously.

The father and daughter have always had ideas. Is this Tong Bo Teng cooking up some new food? Everyone is actually looking forward to it.

Da Sheng seemed to have guessed more. He caught Suxue and asked, "Juni, are these soybeans really edible when they sprout?"

Suxue nodded affirmatively, "It's edible. Just wait and see. You'll definitely like it when the time comes."

However, Mrs. Gao's face was full of disdain. Just as he was about to speak, he caught sight of Er Sheng's interested face from the corner of his eye. He quickly swallowed his words and curled his lips in disapproval.

Mr. Ye waved the reed strip to Suxue and said, "If you want something fresh to eat, remember to let me taste it first."

Suxue smiled, when we made food at home, how often did Mr. Ye not take the first bite?

Mrs. Wang felt a little sorry for those soybeans, "Fourth, don't get more beans. Wouldn't it be a pity if you make them wrong the first time?"

Si Sheng and Suxue exchanged glances. Mrs. Wang was right. Although they had grown bean sprouts at home before, this was their first time operating them in space. They really needed to try it first and see the results before talking.

So Si Sheng only poured two and a half pots of beans and put away the grain bags.

The two of them took the basin and went to the river to clean it. Seeing this, Wang Zeran quickly put down his book and ran over to take the basin from Suxue's hand.

Suxue raised the corner of her mouth and put down her hand, turned around and picked up two burning logs from the fire as torches, followed Si Sheng and Wang Zeran to light them up.

Si Sheng and Wang Zeran cleaned the soybeans, soaked them in warm water, and then stacked the pots containing the beans in the wooden frame.

Suxue had already found an old quilt, wrapped the basin together with the frame, put it in a dark corner away from the bunk, and then breathed out softly.

When everything was done, Si Sheng dragged Wang Zeran away and said, "Wang boy, it will be fine today. Let's go to bed."

Suxue waited until they were far away, then waved her hand to put the basin of soybeans into the space, leaving only the wooden frame supporting the quilt piled there.

It was getting late, and the Ye family also put down their work and went to sleep in their respective bunks.

But Si Sheng couldn't sleep well. He had to pay attention to the beans in the space and reach out to touch them after a while.

About two hours later, the beans were finally soaked. Si Sheng and Suxue quietly got up, picked the beans, cleaned them twice, put them into four pots, and then covered them with a layer of water-soaked beans.

gauze and cotton wool, and finally put four pots of beans on the shelves at the root of the space wall.

Si Sheng mixed two more basins of warm water and put them in the space for preparation. Only then did he lie down and sleep with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, Suxue opened her eyes, and went into the space with Si Sheng to see the growth of bean sprouts. In just half a night, all the beans sprouted, and the longest sprout was already several millimeters long.

.

Suxue hugged Si Sheng's arm excitedly, "Dad, it seems this method is really feasible, and beans grow much faster in space than outside."

Si Sheng was also very happy, grabbing a few beans in his hands and looking at them from ear to ear.

The two of them took the time to wash the beans gently with warm water, then wet the cotton gauze again and cover it as usual.

Since bean sprouts grow quickly in a large space, the frequency of washing and adding water must be increased. Three or four times a day is definitely not enough.

The two people left the space and walked back. They met Niu Zhixin on the road, and Si Sheng stopped and told him about the arrangements for their journey.

Suxue was alone, humming an unknown tune in the morning light, and wandered back to the Ye family camp.

The three boys and the Yong'an children have also gotten up and are chattering around the pile of things wrapped in old quilts. Before they went to bed yesterday, there was no such strange pile.

The three boys asked curiously: "What is inside here? Why is it still wrapped in a quilt?"

The fourth boy said stupidly: "Isn't it the third sister here? I haven't seen the third sister since early in the morning."

Yong'an didn't see Suxue when he woke up in the morning. After getting up, he looked around for several times but couldn't find anyone. Could it be that his sister was really sleeping under this quilt?

Xiaoni pulled Niu Niu over and said, "Third sister, if you don't sleep on the floor, why are you hiding here? You'll suffocate yourself to death."

When Yong'an and the third boy heard this, they hurried forward to lift the quilt, but they couldn't hold the third sister back.

Suxue was shocked when she saw it and shouted quickly: "You can't open it——". When she opened it and saw that it was empty, it was time to reveal the secret.

Suxue grabbed the hands of Sanxiaozi and Yongan, "Don't lift this. If cold air gets in, the things inside will freeze to death."

Seeing that the children were still a little confused, Suxue was afraid that they would do something bad, so she hurriedly picked up the pile of things and put them on the bullock cart.

Xiaoni's eyes were full of admiration, "Third sister is so strong, she can hold such a big pile of things."

Suxue grinned, there are two wooden frames inside, okay?

In order to deceive others, Suxue also filled a water bag with hot water and put it under the pile of old quilts. She repeatedly warned the little ones: "This thing is to keep warm. You must not move it, in case cold air is let in."

, all the beans are going to spoil.”

The third boy bargained: "Third sister, then let me take a look at the things inside, and I will never move again."

After talking for a long time, the boy still wanted to open it and take a look. Suxue was so angry that she wanted to beat him with the quilt.

Wang Zeran came back from washing up by the river and saw a group of children pestering Suxue. He glanced at the three boys coolly and said, "Whoever dares to touch this pile of things will see how I punish him."

The third boy turned his head and saw Wang Zeran's stern face, and said hurriedly: "I won't look at it, and I won't touch it."

The four boys, Yong'an, Xiaoni, and Niu Niu also said in unison: "I won't touch it either."

Suxue looked at Wang Zeran, feeling a little jealous in her heart. Why did these little brats listen to him so much? He could calm them down with just one word?

The third boy chuckled and asked, "Third sister, I'm going to keep it quiet, so tell me, what's it used for?"

Suxue said mysteriously: "The buns here are delicious. Just be obedient and don't make any trouble. In a few days, when the beans inside have grown, let my dad make us some stir-fried bean sprouts and meat."

"Okay, let's eat bean sprouts and stir-fried meat." Several children clapped their hands happily. They didn't know what bean sprouts were, but having meat to eat was something worth being happy about.

From then on, these children had a small obsession, staring at the pile of old quilt bundles every day, hoping that the things inside would grow quickly so that they could eat fried pork with bean sprouts.

After each family had breakfast, they yoked their animals and lined up in a long line. They walked onto the road in order from the river and began their trek to Qinzhou Mansion.

Because the seats in the bullock cart were occupied by piles of raw bean sprouts, Suxue, Wang Zeran, and Dani had fewer opportunities to ride in the cart, and most of the time they could only walk with the cart.
