"No money, right? Let me try it!"
"Hmm~ It's just as you said, sweet and delicious."
The woman ate and commented, and the satisfied expression on her face did not seem fake.
With the first person to try it out, everyone else started to get excited.
Seeing this, Chu Yuening picked up pieces of sweet potatoes and distributed them to the elderly and children. More and more people tasted this delicacy from another world.
In this era when wheat rice was hard to eat and only nobles and wealthy businessmen could eat malt sugar, sweet potatoes had become a rare delicacy in the hearts of the common people.
Although everyone knows that this food called sweet potato is very delicious, the price is not acceptable to ordinary people.
If you buy corn, you can buy four pounds, which is enough for a family to eat for several days.
For ordinary people, eating enough comes first.
Fortunately, Chu Yuening’s purpose was not really to sell sweet potatoes.
"Young lady, can this plant really yield a thousand kilograms per mu?"
An old man with a white beard and linen clothes stepped forward and asked. An old man of such advanced age is very prestigious here.
Everyone quieted down and looked at Chu Yuening.
They all wanted to know whether this magical object, which produced three or four times more than the current grain output, was real or fake?
If this is true, then we won’t have to go hungry in the future?
This is what every farmer and every common people expect.

After Chu Yuening divided the remaining sweet potatoes, she took A Ye and A Hua home.
As expected, not a single sweet potato was sold.
After all, it’s expensive, and most people were on the sidelines when trying it out on the first day.
But none of this matters. Her goal has been achieved, and now she just has to wait for the fish to take the bait.
On the way home, the brother and sister hung their heads, feeling very depressed.
They didn't sell a single sweet potato today and failed to live up to Sister's expectations.
Chu Yuening touched the furry tops of their heads and offered comforting words.
"Aye and Ahua were both great today! They've already helped me~"
"Really?"
"Of course. When has Sister ever lied to you?"
"Sister, we will definitely work harder in the future..."
The silhouettes of the three people stretched longer and longer in the sunset...
