Chapter 108 Never Seen
Yu Jiaming walked around the city and his stomach was growling with hunger. He went back to the city gate. Only a few servants hired by Ye Mingzhu were standing there. He asked about Ye Mingzhu, but everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether Ye Mingzhu had forgotten them.
The fact is, Ye Mingzhu really forgot. After she and Jiang Hongyu returned home, they first moved all the sweet potatoes to the kitchen in the compound.
Jiang Hongyu took out a few cracked sweet potatoes and asked her, "Do you still want these cracked sweet potatoes?"
"Of course, this sweet potato is the most delicious when roasted."
The good ones should be kept for seeds, and only the broken ones can be eaten. Ye Mingzhu is reluctant to waste them.
"Is this called sweet potato?" Jiang Hongyu always had a feeling that Ye Mingzhu knew this thing.
"I read a book before that said this thing is called sweet potato. I thought it looked a bit like it, so I bought some to try. Is it because the skin is red that it looks like a sweet potato?"
There must be loopholes in what Ye Mingzhu said, such as where did she see the book, is it still available now, what kind of book is it, and why is she the only one who has read it?
But Jiang Hongyu didn't ask a single question, he just asked how to do it. Ye Mingzhu didn't dare to say anything more, she just tentatively suggested to try roasting it over fire.
Jiang Hongyu nodded, then went to get some water to wash the skin of the sweet potatoes, and started roasting the sweet potatoes again.
Ye Mingzhu squatted at the stove. She really missed the taste of sweet potatoes, which represented the taste of home.
When the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted out, Ye Mingzhu could no longer bear it. When she tried to put her head into the stove for the fifth time, Jiang Hongyu pulled a few sweet potatoes out of the stove.
He looked at the charcoal-like sweet potato with hesitation in his eyes: "Are you sure this thing is edible?"
Except for the first two years after arriving in Yuanshan Village, he was young and he and his mother suffered some hardships. Later, he began to practice martial arts and found some ways to eat and drink. His diet began to improve. It had been a long time since he had eaten such rough food. Ye Mingzhu ignored his complaints and used a wooden stick to dig the sweet potatoes on the ground, hoping that they would cool down quickly.
Unable to wait any longer, Ye Mingzhu broke the roasted sweet potato into two halves and took a deep breath. It smelled sweet.
She picked up the roasted sweet potato on the stove with her hands upside down, scraped a spoonful of light yellow flesh with a wooden spoon, and put it in her mouth impatiently.
Although not as sweet as modern roasted sweet potatoes, they still melt in your mouth and have a soft texture.
In this early autumn season, it is such a blessing to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
Seeing Jiang Hongyu also picked up a roasted sweet potato, Ye Mingzhu said, "Be careful, it's hot."
The rest of the process was spent in sizzling sounds, and I finished eating a roasted sweet potato.
She pursed her lips, feeling that her mouth was full of roasted sweet potatoes: "I'll go get one for Yun An."
She picked up the roasted sweet potato and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and turned back stiffly: "Did we forget Yu Jiaming in the county town?"
Jiang Hongyu calmly put the last bite of roasted sweet potato into his mouth before standing up: "We told him before that if he still can't wait for us after noon, we can come back on our own."
Ye Mingzhu looked at the sky. The sun was not too high yet. She estimated that it was not yet noon. The most important thing was that if everyone bought a lot of candies, it would be difficult to take them back without a ox cart.
Jiang Hongyu didn't care. He first took out the firewood from the stove, put out the fire, and then fetched some water for Ye Mingzhu to wash her hands and face.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Mingzhu was very quick. While Jiang Hongyu was washing his face, she went back to her room and applied some skin care products on her face.
Jiang Hongyu had been with her for a while and knew that she was fast, so he went to drive.
It’s just that Xiao Niu had already run to the county town in the morning, and maybe he was a little tired, so he didn’t run very fast.
Although Ye Mingzhu was anxious, there was nothing she could do. Sweet potatoes were more important than candies.
Everyone here knows about sweet sticks, and it doesn't make any difference whether they come earlier or later, but almost no one knows about sweet potatoes. She pulled the sweet potatoes back first, which meant she had the upper hand.
Her first reaction when she saw sweet potatoes was to make all kinds of delicious food, but when she returned to the farm, she realized that if such a filling food was promoted, it would allow more people to have enough to eat.
She is just an ordinary person and can't care about so many things, but she still hopes that the lives of those around her who are good to her can be better.
Winter is coming soon, which is not the season for planting sweet potatoes. She has just picked some good-looking sweet potatoes and thrown them into the space, hoping that the land in the space can be put to use.
As for other sweet potatoes, dig a cellar on the farm and store them first. When spring comes, try planting them on the farm. Only when the sweet potatoes on the farm have a good harvest will others follow suit and plant them.
Along the way, her head was spinning rapidly, almost without stopping. Jiang Hongyu thought she was asleep, so he drove slower.
By the time they arrived at the city gate, it was almost noon.
At the city gate, Wu Jiang lowered his head and occasionally shook his head. Yu Jiaming was saying something, and in the end he was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet.
This time everyone bought a lot of sweet bars, which were all piled on the ox cart. The remaining space could only accommodate two people at most, and one of them was the cart driver.
Yu Jiaming was already hungry and tired and wanted to go back early.
But Wu Jiang disagreed with hiring two cars. He insisted that everyone walk back, even Yu Jiaming was no exception.
It cost sixty cents to hire two ox carts to their farm. Everyone spent their money on sweet sticks, and only Yu Jiaming and Wu Jiang still had some money left.
Yu Jiaming wanted to hire a car himself, but Wu Jiang stopped him and refused to let him waste his employer's money.
He had heard that after Yu Jiaming was rescued, he was penniless and all his spending was his employer's money. He was used to living a hard life and would not waste his employer's money.
When Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu arrived, Wu Jiang lowered his head and let Yu Jiaming scold him.
Seeing Ye Mingzhu coming, Yu Jiaming immediately stepped forward and told her what had happened.
Wu Jiang's dark face showed shame and resentment, while Yu Jiaming's face was full of grievance. He had never thought that one day it would be so difficult to ride in an ox cart.
Ye Mingzhu asked Jiang Hongyu to give Wu Jiang some money to buy two meat buns for each person and then go back after eating.
Those who were a little wilted by the sun suddenly brightened up and thanked the host in unison.
Yu Jiaming plopped down on the oxcart, somewhat dissatisfied: "Where did you send that old man? Why did he take so long to come back?"
Ye Mingzhu knew that they had been negligent this time. Jiang Hongyu had already spoken: "We bought some good things and sent them back to the manor. I'm sure you will be interested after seeing them."
Yu Jiaming immediately perked up: "Good stuff, what good stuff?"
Jiang Hongyu glanced at him and said, "You've never seen this before."
