Many people couldn't buy any, but news of a particularly delicious roasted sweet potato shop had already spread within the textile factory.
Yang Yufen pedaled her tricycle home with great energy, passing by her own house without going in, and went straight to Aunt Wang's house.
"Hey Wang, here, I saved two for you."
Yang Yufen parked the car and took two hot roasted sweet potatoes out of the oven.
"Baked food definitely tastes better than steamed food."
Aunt Wang didn't stand on ceremony.
“I’ll come and pick up the rest of the sweet potatoes. Is it convenient for your son to deliver them? These sweet potatoes are selling quite well. I brought the money. If it’s inconvenient for him to deliver them, I can come and pick them up.”
"Sold out?"
Aunt Wang was shocked.
Yang Yufen nodded.
"It's convenient. He was worried about what to do with those sweet potatoes. Everyone else was growing high-yield sweet potatoes, but his were all watery and the supply and marketing cooperative wouldn't buy them."
Aunt Wang looked disgusted, feeling that her son's ability to grow things was not as good as hers.
"Great! I need to sell this all winter and into next spring. Could you supply just my store?"
Yang Yufen had already calculated that she could sell all the sweet potatoes from those few acres of land by herself.
"Can."
Anyway, no one else wants it, and her son doesn't have that much time to find someone to buy it, so he might as well sell it to his best friend.
And so, that evening, a thousand catties of sweet potatoes were delivered to Yang Yufen's house.
"Auntie, I'll bring it to you again in three days."
Wang Da Niang's son came in person. He always felt that his mother didn't like him. It was rare for her to ask him to do something, so she was helping him. Coming in person was a way for him to see his mother.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."
When Qin Nian returned home, she saw a pile of sweet potatoes.
"Mom, why did you buy so many sweet potatoes?"
“I got a stove and started selling roasted sweet potatoes near the textile factory. Business is pretty good, but I might not be able to deliver lunch to you in time. However, I’ve prepared dinner in the pot so you can eat when you get back.”
"Mom, this is too hard. It's freezing cold. What if you get sick from the cold?"
Qin Nian couldn't help but worry.
"It's not cold at all. I have a military overcoat, and it's right next to the stove. It's warmer than at home."
Yang Yufen insisted, and Qin Nian had no choice but to agree.
"How about you sell it near the research institute, Mom? It's not close to the textile factory."
Unable to stop it, Qin Nian came up with another idea.
“You researchers barely have time to eat, where would you find the leisure to come out and eat roasted sweet potatoes? There are many female workers at the textile factory, and they get off work on time.”
Yang Yufen's words made sense, so Qin Nian had no choice but to stop trying to persuade her.
However, the next day, someone got Yang Yufen a pair of sheepskin gloves.
"Mom, I won't stop you from selling sweet potatoes, but you have to wear these gloves."
"You should keep these gloves and wear them."
Looking at the brand-new sheepskin gloves, Yang Yufen felt that a pair of cotton gloves would suffice for her.
"I'm the one who doesn't need it in the lab."
Qin Nian insisted, so Yang Yufen put them on as well, not wanting to get them dirty, and then put on another layer of cotton gloves over them.
