The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

"Oh! This one is bigger. But..." Although Sansheng was greedy, the sweet potato was covered with dirt and he couldn't eat it.

"Come here and wash it before eating." Yichen pointed to a seepage spot on the cliff wall. Water had been seeping there all year round, and a small puddle had formed on the ground.

"Hey." Sansheng ran over and quickly washed the sweet potato. Seeing that it had a clean red and yellow skin, he pointed at the sweet potato and asked Yichen with a serious look, "Sister Chenchen, is it edible like this?"

Yichen nodded: "It's ready to eat."

Seeing that sister Chenchen said it was edible, Sansheng smiled and took a bite, his eyes instantly lighting up. "Sister Chenchen, this sweet potato is really sweet," Sansheng said, and then took another bite. "Haha, it's quite delicious." Sansheng was speaking from the heart. He felt that this should not be eaten as food, but as fruit.

"Of course it's delicious. But my favorite is roasted sweet potatoes." Yi Chen didn't realize that she had given herself away.

Dong Baihu had been watching the interaction between the two children, and now he couldn't wait to run to the puddle and wash the sweet potatoes in his hand.

Then he broke the sweet potato in his hand into two halves, threw one half to Zhang Xiaoqi, and put the other half to his mouth and took a bite.

With a "crack", a unique smell of sweet potatoes made Dong Baihu's eyes burst with a look comparable to the moment of victory.

"Hahaha, Boss, this thing is really edible."

"It tastes better when grilled." Yichen generously told them their favorite way to eat it.

"How to roast it?" Sansheng wanted to know.

"When the adults are cooking at home, you can put the sweet potatoes in the kitchen. In winter, when you are warming yourself by the fire, you can bury the sweet potatoes in the brazier."

Seeing Dong Baihu and the others looking at her, Yi Chen didn't keep them in suspense anymore. She told them the simplest ways to eat sweet potatoes: "There are many ways to eat sweet potatoes, such as boiling, steaming, and frying..."

Yichen wanted to say: The sugar-coated food tastes better after being fried, but she met Dong Baihu's suspicious eyes and quietly shut up.

"How did Chenchen know there are so many ways to eat sweet potatoes?"

"My mother said so. When my mother and I first discovered sweet potatoes and potatoes around here, she wasn't sure either. After all, she had only seen them in books before."

"Oh."

"My mother was very happy at the time, but she didn't dare tell anyone because she was afraid that everyone would be disappointed, which would also be a sin."

"Mrs. Jiang is really thoughtful."

"Yes."

"So my mother separated those seedlings and planted them here, just to see if they were sweet potatoes."

"Madam Jiang is just different. If this happened to someone else, they would have already made it known to everyone."

“Once all these leaves started to grow, my mother became more and more certain that this was a sweet potato.”

"What about this? What is this?"

“This is a potato.”

"Potato?"

"Well, potatoes are also good. They can be used not only as food but also as a dish." Yi Chen paused, patting her head before continuing, realizing she was about to take off again. "My mom's book says that potatoes stewed with meat or chicken are delicious."

"Really?" When Sansheng heard the words stewed meat and stewed chicken, his mouth instantly flooded with saliva.

He didn't care what Sister Chenchen said below. He just wanted to dig out the potatoes and see if they were really as good as Sister Chenchen said.

"Oh my, this potato looks more like a lump of earth than a sweet potato."

"Yes." Yi Chen nodded.

"Can I eat this potato now?"

“This can’t be done.”

"Why?"

"I don't know either. My mom read it in a book. It says you can't eat raw potatoes because it might cause poisoning."

"Ah?" Brother Sansheng, who was destined to love delicious food all his life, lost interest in this thing called potato immediately after hearing sister Chenchen say that eating raw potatoes might cause poisoning.

"Sister Chenchen, I still like eating sweet potatoes."

“Sweet potatoes aren’t the best right now.”

"When is it delicious?"

"After digging them out, let them sit for a few days so they can lose some moisture and become sweeter."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Oh, I'm going to talk to Aunt Jiang when I get home later and ask her to save a few more sweet potatoes for me."

"Definitely, these two things are the most productive."

Captain Dong and Zhang Xiaoqi did not go far, but stood nearby and listened to the two children talking.

When he heard the little girl say that these two things were highly productive, he came over as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Chenchen, you said both sweet potatoes and potatoes are high-yielding?"

"Yes." Yi Chen was afraid the two people wouldn't believe her, so she explained to them in a serious tone: "My mother read a book that said sweet potato. It comes from the Fanwai, so some places also call it sweet potato, or sweet potato."

Yichen applauded herself in her heart, thinking that they liked the stories she made up.

"What about the output?"

"Yes." What Captain Dong was most concerned about was the output.

Seeing that the two adults were eager to know the results, Yichen deliberately emphasized her tone and said in a milky voice, "The yield of sweet potatoes per mu will increase or decrease due to the soil and climate."

"Then roughly how many pounds can it produce?" Captain Dong was afraid of scaring the little girl, so he lowered his voice, and Yichen thought he was about to die.

But when Yichen said it out loud: "It ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 kilograms."

Captain Dong thought he was hallucinating. He grabbed Zhang Xiaoqi's shoulder and asked in his dying voice, "Old Zhang, did I hear that correctly?"

"I don't know if I heard it right, but I think I heard Chenchen say the weight was between 3,000 and 8,000 jin."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go dig some sweet potatoes now and see how many pounds they are."

"Ah."

The two of them just did it.

I watched two sturdy men bending over and rushing towards the sweet potato field. One of them aimed at a ridge and started digging with his bare hands.

Yichen: She almost died of laughter. She hadn't expected two grown men to have such a cute and innocent side.

Yichen covered her mouth with her hands. She wanted to tell these two lovely men that they could use tools to dig sweet potatoes, such as shovels and pickaxes.

However, before Yichen could speak, she heard two people shouting in surprise: "Hahaha, Lao Zhang, look, I dug up a huge bunch of sweet potatoes."

"Boss, that's called a litter. Look at mine, there are eight of them in this litter."

"Tsk, I have quite a few too."

"How can it be less? The nest you just dug out only had five."

"It's not five, it's seven."

"Where did seven come from? Boss, don't tell me you can't count."

"Why can't I count? Don't forget, what we two just ate and what Sansheng ate were all dug out from this sweet potato vine."
