Old Madam Yu looked listless and asked, “l heard that soone in the south took the lead and inserted a type of root from overseas. It’s called sothing…”
Yu Youyao smiled and said, “It’s sweet potatoes.”
“Yes, yes, sweet potatoes. I heard that they’re resistant to drought and ridges. They can be planted into the ground and live easily. Moreover, they grow vines quickly. Their leaves, stems, and roots can be eaten. At this ti, no matter what you plant, it’s too late. There’s only sweet potatoes. Even if they don’t produce fruits and there are many vines, the leaves can still be eaten.” At this point, a smile appeared on her face. “l seem to rember hearing you ntion this.’
Yu Youyao nodded. “l knew that this plant wasn’t picky with soil, and its production was good, so I tried planting it. I didn’t expect it to succeed. The experienced old farrs in the manor said that sweet potatoes can be planted until June or July. It’s just that it’s best before and after the Dragon Boat Festival. If it’s late, the production will be reduced. I even made sweet potato snacks earlier and gave them to Grandmother to try. You said it was delicious and filling.”
During this period of ti, Old Madam Yu had been forgetful. She couldn’t rember anything nearby. On the contrary, the past was still vivid in her mind. As long as she had a little energy, she would hold her granddaughter’s hand and nag non-stop, as if those were her last words.
