Chapter 191 - Running after Taking Advantage (2/2)

“I don’t really like them, but they are filling and can be eaten in place of rice. Moreover, their leaves are delicious and they are easy to grow.” Bai Qingqing wiped off the mud on a sweet potato. This sweet potato was small and had red skin. It looked very sweet.

Although Bai Qingqing hadn’t grown anything before, she had absolute confidence in growing sweet potatoes like these.

Her middle school history book had introduced the history of how sweet potatoes were introduced into the country. She could vaguely remember that sweet potato vines had been covered in soil and tied onto ships’ rails as ropes, and then crossed the seas to arrive in the country.

She was really astonished by their viability, and she didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to grow them successfully.

“Really?” Parker felt extremely excited. “I saw a lot of them. I’ll dig more for you tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Bai Qingqing said. Anyway, sweet potatoes could be stored, and she could keep them for the winter.

Parker cleaned the sweet potatoes and then handed them to her. Bai Qingqing had only been wanting to eat meat recently. It was only out of curiosity that she received the sweet potato and took a bite.

It was really sweet, crispy, and delicious, like fruits. It tasted a lot better than she imagined.

“En, it’s delicious!” Bai Qingqing said, “Bury one amongst the firewood. I want to taste a roasted one.”

“Alright,” Parker said happily and passed the leaves that had been washed clean to Bai Qingqing. “Didn’t you say that the leaves are good as well? There’s only this little bit. You can eat it. I’ll bring back more tomorrow.”

The sweet potato leaves in this season were already matured like branches. The leaves also had a lot of holes bitten by bugs.

“Cough!” Bai Qingqing choked and wiped her mouth, saying, “I like to eat meat recently. I’ll eat it in the future.”

“Oh,” Parker said disappointedly as he tossed the sweet potato leaves into the fire.
