Li Yu brought Uncle Zhou, Ji Xiang, and the others to plant the sweet potato poles in the ground.
When the few of them returned to the kitchen, Old Madam Liu and Auntie He had already cooked the sweet potatoes. Li Yu picked up a sweet potato and broke it into two pieces to reveal the yellow core. She took a bite. It still tasted the same. It was sweet, sticky and a little powdery.
Little Loach, Mao Dou, and the others also ate. As Little Loach and the others ate, they shouted in surprise, "Wow! It's delicious! It's actually sweet."
After finishing their portions, everyone felt that they had not had enough.
Uncle Zhou said, "It's delicious! It's a little like cooked chestnuts, but not so dry. There's more moisture than chestnuts, and it's sweeter than chestnuts."
"Uncle Zhou is right." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Li Yu thought to herself that she couldn't eat too much or she would easily bloat, burp, and get heartburn.
