The man they had summoned was named Lin Ahshui, appearing to be in his early forties. He hailed from the Prefecture of Fuzhou and possessed exceptional Color Painting skills, which is why he was called up to work in the mountains. He also owned a bit more than ten acres of land and had experience growing sweet potatoes back in his hometown.
As such a person, the Lian Manman family naturally treated him as an honored guest. They started by serving him good tea and good water, and then Lian Shouxin asked Lin Ahshui for advice on how to germinate sweet potato seedlings and cultivate them.
Lian Manman had only these few dozen pounds of sweet potatoes. Although Lin Ahshui claimed he knew the process, to be on the safe side, they still needed to verify that Lin Ahshui genuinely had the expertise before letting him begin.
