These sweet potatoes were planted by Grandma herself in the vegetable garden right in front of the house. She hadn't planted many, just a small patch, but they grew exceptionally well.
A few days ago, when Li Xiang went into the mountains to dig for Solomon, Grandma was home alone and decided to harvest the sweet potato patch. She ended up with over two hundred pounds, which were now piled up in the old kitchen.
When the weather got a little colder, Li Xiang planned to dig a root cellar to store the sweet potatoes. Otherwise, they would freeze and spoil.
When the sweet potato vines were lush, their stems were also a vegetable—crisp, refreshing, and Li Xiang's absolute favorite.
And roasted sweet potatoes were an even rarer delicacy.
The roasted sweet potatoes sold in big cities were ridiculously expensive, and they could never replicate this kind of aroma and sweetness.
