Two days later, Cheng Zhenzhu, with the help of a few children, started drying sweet potatoes again, and also dried some sweet potato slices. This time, she washed three buckets of sweet potatoes and steamed them in the pot, which together weighed at least 30 to 40 kilograms.
The main thing is drying sweet potatoes, which are so heavy. She only semi-dries them, so ten pounds of sweet potatoes only yield about three pounds of dried sweet potatoes. And with a family of one, five children, and two dogs, the dried sweet potatoes go through pretty quickly. If she doesn't make more, there won't be enough to eat...
The dried sweet potatoes are made into pearls using the traditional method of three steaming and three drying. However, the sweet potato slices are made in a different way. Instead, they are sliced onto a drying basket, sprinkled with roasted black sesame seeds, and dried directly in the sun.
After two days of drying, the sweet potato chips are half-dried. They are square, bright yellow and dotted with black sesame seeds, which looks very appetizing.
A few little kids were munching on dried sweet potatoes, squatting beside Cheng Zhenzhu and staring at her intently.
"Auntie, can I have some sweet potato chips?" Cheng Xiaohu drooled over the sweet potato chips sprinkled with black sesame seeds. He just ate a little bit and found the sweet potato chips soft, fragrant and super delicious.

Yesterday he slept with his head in the quilt and was woken up by the smell!
Huh? Liu Tiao looked at his brother Fat Tiger with wide eyes.
Little Tiger's face flushed instantly, and he swallowed the sweet potato chips in his hand in one gulp. He said with some embarrassment, "Hmph╯^╰I'm not eating today!"
San Tiao's eyes flickered. He had also farted a little in his bed last night. Mom and Liu Tiao probably hadn't noticed, right? San Tiao stole a glance and saw that his mom and Liu Tiao were both looking at Brother Xiaohu, so he felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, the next second he heard Liu Tiao shout, "Spread the pot, release the stinky stuff!"
