Looking at the busy villagers, Lin Feng said, "They are busy, so we won't disturb them! Yan'er, tell them and follow us first!"
Li Yan listened to her uncle's instructions and squeezed into the crowd to say goodbye to several uncles, aunts and relatives.
When the busy people in Chenjia Village heard that Yan'er's relatives had come, they looked out of the crowd, but they were surrounded by guests and couldn't get away. Chen Dalang said, "Miss Li, please bring your uncle to our village to sit for a while. I'll go back when I'm done with my work!" He also took a few roasted sweet potatoes from the oven nearby and stuffed them into Li Yan's arms.
Li Yan came to her uncle with roasted sweet potatoes wrapped in leaves and distributed them to several people.
Holding a scalding sweet potato in his hand, Monkey asked Li Yan in disbelief, "So many people are lining up here just to buy this?"
Li Yan nodded: "Uncle, try it, it's delicious! I guarantee you've never eaten it before!"
The monkey carefully tore open the sweet potato skin, took a bite, and it was really delicious!
After everyone finished eating, Li Yan asked, "Uncle, are we going to Chenjia Village now?"
Lin Feng: "It's not good for us to come empty-handed now. You guys rest here for a while. I'll take Yan'er to the city to buy some gifts and then come to thank you!"
Monkey patted his head and praised: "Brother Feng is really thoughtful!"
Lin Feng and Li Yan entered the county town. They first went to the meat market in the city and bought a pork hind leg. Then they went to the cloth shop and bought two pieces of cloth and five kilograms of cotton.
Li Yan thought that winter was approaching, so she prepared some cotton to make a set of cotton clothes for the two of them so that the grandmother and grandson could spend a warm winter.
After buying the gifts, the two walked back along the street.
Lin Feng asked about what had happened in the past few days as they walked.
Li Yan excitedly told Lin Feng about her discovery of sweet potatoes: "Uncle, I promised my mother-in-law and the others that I would buy their sweet potatoes at a price of one penny per pound. Do you think that's okay?"
Lin Feng was puzzled: "Sweet potatoes? Are they the roasted sweet potatoes you gave us just now?"
Oops, in my excitement I actually called sweet potato "yam" instead of "red potato".
Li Yan touched her nose and explained, "When this thing is first cooked, the skin is red, so it's called a sweet potato. What do you think, uncle? Isn't it very appropriate?"
Lin Feng smiled, shook his head, and asked, "Can this thing really produce a thousand kilograms per mu?"
Li Yan: "That's not true. I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, go to Chenjia Village and see for yourself!"
The two men, carrying large and small bags, met up with Monkey and others.
At this time, there were still many people gathered at the roasted sweet potato stall.
Li Yan didn't intend to disturb them and led Lin Feng to Chenjia Village.
When they reached the dock, they were in a dilemma: how could they get across with the two mule carts? Li Yan had no idea if there were any other land routes to take.
At this time, the Guo brothers said to Lin Feng, "Boss, we brothers won't go over there. We'll just watch over the ox cart from here!"
Everyone had been following him through thick and thin these past few days. Lin Feng pulled out a few taels of silver from his pocket, handed it to Guo Da, and instructed, "Go find an inn in the city and stay there first. You've all been working hard these past few days, so take a good rest. I'll come find you when I'm done!"
After receiving Lin Feng's instructions, the Guo family took the reins and drove the carriage towards the city!
After everyone left, a few people carried their things and boarded the boat to Chenjia Village!
At this time, many villagers gathered at the entrance of Chenjia Village. When they saw Li Yan leading a group of people back, they looked at her curiously!
