Chapter 136: Sweet Potatoes

"Why is the old man so worried on such a happy harvest day?" Li Xingzhi walked over and asked.

"Hey - I'm a lonely person, why do I need so many lumps of dirt? All the big families in the city are giving away these things for free, and I can't sell them either!" The old man with mud legs looked at the pile in front of him with a frown.

Sweet Potato said with a sigh.

After hearing this, Li Xingzhi couldn't help but be startled, and then said: "Why don't you make these sweet potatoes into something else? Like sweet potato cubes, sweet potato powder, etc."

The old man Huang Ni looked at Li Xingzhi with a blank look on his face!

A light flashed in Li Xingzhi's mind, and he suddenly understood. He turned and said with a smile: "Old man, I do know how to make this thing into other foods. Do you want to learn?"

The old man looked at Li Xingzhi hesitantly, he couldn't believe it! Handicrafts can be passed down from generation to generation, so why should they be taken out like this? He, a responsible person, hesitated for a moment.

"But……"

Li Xingzhi interrupted the old man's hesitant words and said: "If you want to learn from me, come here and you will understand after I tell you..."

At this time, in the city of Chang'an, every household that was planted with sweet potatoes began to look sad. Not to mention that the corn was easy to produce, and the yield was relatively low. It only needed to be steamed, and it was sweet and delicious! But not to mention the huge amount of sweet potatoes.

It's hard when steamed. Unless there's really nothing to eat, most people just eat it fresh! It won't be distributed at all! It would be a pity to throw it away. It's really a tasteless and meaty chicken rib!

Although the giants in Chang'an City have made enough capital from corn and sweet potatoes, they have to suffer from headaches again!

After all, this is not the time in the past two years when the people were suffering from hunger. The beginning of the prosperous Tang Dynasty has begun, and the people have begun to have higher living standards.

Ten days later, as the harvest season came to an end, piles of sweet potatoes were dug out, and more and more people were worried. Fortunately, the sweet potatoes were durable and could barely be eaten, so it didn't cause too much trouble!

On this day, at a food store in Chang'an City, an old man with a sallow complexion pushed a wooden trolley and hawked on the street: Sweet potatoes are for sale! Steamed, baked, fried, fragrant, crispy sweet potato slices!

There are also sweet potato noodles and sweet potato skins that you have never seen before!

As the car kept moving forward, a strange aroma wafted all over the street along with the sesame oil seeping out of the roasted sweet potatoes. Everyone who was busy stopped in their tracks.

"sweet potato?"

When everyone heard this word, their appetites were gone.

"Oh! Why is it so fragrant?!" The aroma of sweet potatoes rushed into everyone's noses all the time, causing everyone's enthusiasm and appetite to drop immediately to rise back up again, and even higher!

"Oops - I can't stand it anymore! Old man, give me a roasted sweet potato!" Finally a man couldn't help but shouted and walked up, taking a few copper coins.

"How's it going?" Before the person who bought the sweet potatoes even took a bite, someone next to him asked impatiently.

The person who bought the sweet potato ignored the people next to him, peeled off the skin of the sweet potato which was full of oil, and couldn't wait to take a bite.

"Hoo ho, ho ho..." The hot sweet potato made the man's mouth very uncomfortable, but the man couldn't bear to let go after all. It took a lot of effort to swallow the small mouthful of golden potato meat, regardless of the side.

The people who were watching eagerly continued to struggle.

"Ouch, I can't stand it anymore! Come on, old man!"

"Come on, come on..."

The old man looked at the crowds of people coming, and his dim face looked like chrysanthemums in autumn, extremely bright and moving!

"Hey, this sweet potato, this sweet potato, why is it different from the ones I have eaten before? It is so golden, so sweet and soft, it is really, really delicious!" "Yes, yes, does it mean that this sweet potato needs to be roasted?

eat?"……….

Everyone was shouting and drinking, and some thoughtful merchants even opened stores to stock up on sweet potatoes at low prices after eating roasted sweet potatoes!

"Eh? Old man, what are you talking about?" The first person to buy sweet potatoes had recovered from the shock of the sweet potatoes' deliciousness and looked at the crystal clear, pleasingly green and translucent pieces on the wooden board cart.

"Things," he shouted out of curiosity.

"This is sweet potato skin!" The old man smiled and took the money, turned around and said.

"Sweet potato skins? I've never seen this before? How do you eat this?" As he said that, the foodie's hand had sneakily reached out to the pile of potato skins. He retracted his hand, took a piece of hard sweet potato skin and put it in his mouth.

.

"It's so hard! It's grinding my teeth!"

The old man watched from the side and laughed happily before saying: "These sweet potato skins need to be soaked in soup and cooked before they can be eaten!"

"Oh, you old man, why didn't you tell me earlier? You've hurt me, you've hurt me -" Just as he was talking, he saw that the people next to him had noticed this, and quickly pointed to the things in the car and said: "This, this

, give me some of this! Ouch - don’t crowd, everything is first come, first served..."

It didn't take long for the sweet potatoes to be sold out. The old man walked back happily. Suddenly, several people in extraordinary clothes blocked his way. The ghosts and monsters following him saw these people.

It disappeared immediately.

"Old man, my master has summoned me, please come with us!" The voice of the visitor was slightly sharp, his face was beardless, and his face was pink. As the man spoke, the people next to him pushed the old man's cart and started walking...

The old man followed a few people cautiously and didn't go far before stopping in front of an exquisite restaurant.

In a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, a middle-aged man was holding a golden and fragrant roasted sweet potato in his hand, his eyes showing kindness, and he was carefully feeding a cute child next to him.

"Zhiqua——"

The door opened!

When the middle-aged man heard the sound, he immediately turned around and sat upright, holding the child in his arms. However, the look of kindness on his face suddenly turned into majesty!

"Are you the old man selling roasted sweet potatoes?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, this old man sells roasted sweet potatoes?"

"Did you come up with the method of roasting sweet potatoes yourself? Why are the sweet potatoes roasted by others not so sweet and soft?" The middle-aged man took another sweet potato next to him. However, there was no sesame oil splashing on that sweet potato, and it was not roasted.

Tempting aroma!

The child sitting in the middle-aged man's arms slapped the sweet potato hard, knocked it off, and then pinched the golden flesh that had not been removed from the middle-aged man's beard and put it in his mouth.

"Eat, eat - yeah, yeah, eat!" The child looked at the strange looks from the crowd and put the yellow sweet potato meat in his hand towards the middle-aged man's mouth.

"Yeah, don't eat it, Anu will eat it." The middle-aged man's eyes showed a kindness that others could not see.
