When her mother asked her if she knew anything about sweet potatoes.
Juanjuan replied truthfully, "I don't know, it's the first time I've seen it."
The name sounded familiar; it seemed like she'd heard it in a whisper from her third brother.
But in reality, she has never seen this thing.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dai immediately smiled.
You know, Juanjuan is a native of this area, and she often cooks. If she didn't know that, then...
[I knew it! Since we've already transmigrated, even without a spatial dimension or system, our luck will definitely be much better.]
Look, sweet potatoes! And fragrant roasted yams!
【Mom, I want roasted yam! This cheesy joke I used to scoff at is surprisingly understood here...sigh.】
"Mother, what is this?"
Juanjuan was a little confused. Why was her mother talking about sweet potatoes one minute and roasted yams the next?
Hearing her mother's happy tone, Juanjuan was now curious about what it was.
Jiang Dai smiled faintly, and it was clear that she was genuinely happy.
She knelt down and affectionately pulled her youngest daughter into her arms, gently explaining to her, "This is a sweet potato, also called a yam. You can boil it, steam it, or roast it. It's very fragrant and sweet!"
The first reaction of an ordinary child upon hearing this would be to eat it quickly! It's delicious.
But the first thing Juanjuan thought of was...
"Can it be planted?"
Such a good thing should be like eggs, flowing in continuously, instead of being eaten all at once and then never being able to find it again.
Jiang Dai nodded: "Of course, this should be easy to grow! How about we eat one tonight and plant the other one in the ground?"
"Juanjuan is so clever! She even thought of planting yams! Chickens lay eggs, eggs hatch chickens, life goes on and on!"
Juanjuan looked completely bewildered by the praise.
Mother... it seems like she was praising her, but how did it get to eggs?
Jiang Dai: [Fortunately, before I transmigrated, I participated in a farming reality show and happened to have planted a crop of sweet potatoes. Although I'm not very good at other things, sweet potatoes and potatoes are generally easy to grow.]
[That's why I said it; otherwise, a nobody like me, who knows nothing about medicine or politics, and only has a little bit of martial arts, would really be cannon fodder if I transmigrated.]
After listening to her mother's long speech, Juanjuan: ...
It was too long, and she couldn't understand a lot of it.
But it seems that my mother is very familiar with this sweet potato and knows how to grow it.
That's fine then.
When Bai Tian came out, he saw his wife digging a hole with great effort.
How could such a beautiful and delicate wife be allowed to farm?
"Wife, I'll take care of it. You go and rest."
Bai Tian rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the chipped hoe, and started digging.
Jiang Dai didn't hesitate to refuse, and stood aside watching with the sweet potato in her hand.
Please, someone is helping with the work, why are you making excuses!
"Okay, you can stop now."
Jiang Dai looked at the excavated soil and quickly called for a stop.
Bai Tian cooperated and immediately stopped what he was doing. Only then did he remember to ask, "What are you doing digging this hole?"
"Plant something good."
As Jiang Dai spoke, she took out the sweet potato.
What she didn't expect was...
"sweet potato!"
Bai Tian was quite shocked when he saw this thing; it was clear that he recognized it.
Do you recognize sweet potatoes?
You know this?
Almost simultaneously, the two of them asked each other the same question.
Just as she finished braising the sweet potatoes in the fire, Juanjuan, who came out to tidy up the house, said: ...
She just went in to cook a sweet potato, and when she came out, her parents were arguing like crazy.
Bai Tian: [How is that possible! Sweet potatoes never appeared in the original owner's memories. How did Juanjuan-niang know?!]
Jiang Dai: [Could it be that sweet potatoes have already been planted on a large scale here?]
[That's not right. If it's already being planted on a large scale, Juanjuan couldn't possibly not know. Although sweet potato yields aren't as outrageous as potato yields, they're still considerable.]
In that brief moment, Bai Tian and Jiang Dai had already had a number of thoughts flash through their minds.
Even the atmosphere between the two of them subtly became tense.
“I’ve seen this before, but…”
Jiang Dai raised her hand to cover her forehead, a look of pain appearing on her delicate face: "I can't quite remember."
Seeing his wife's pained expression, Bai Tian didn't ask any further questions, but instead said, "Then let's not think about it anymore, it's okay."
"This thing is indeed a good thing, and I only heard about it from a wandering monk before. We don't have it here. He said it's called sweet potato."
"It seems that your home, wife, might be the place that monk visited."
Bai Tian then took the opportunity to explain why no one else in Niantao Village knew about sweet potatoes, except for him.
The awkward atmosphere between the two of them dissipated in an instant.
Juanjuan blinked, and heard her parents almost simultaneously breathe a sigh of relief.
Mother said, "Luckily, I came up with a good excuse earlier, tsk!"
No wonder all time travelers use the same excuse: amnesia. It really works!
Dad said, "Fortunately, my cheap wife's memory is currently confused, and she doesn't know much about her surroundings, so she's easy to fool."
Juanjuan: ...
Something feels off about this.
"Is the sweet potato stewing?"
A slightly hoarse and weak little boy's voice rang in my ears.
