Chapter 94 It turns out that sweet potatoes grow underground
Chao Chao fell asleep and the sky darkened.

Jian Yunsang stared at the dark room with his eyes open for a long time before whispering, "When you get back, bring Chao Chao to our room to sleep."

The breath on the left paused for a moment, and then He Nanzhou tilted his body slightly and chuckled, "Okay."

In fact, the bed in Chaochao's room is not small, and it is more than enough for three people to sleep, but it always feels weird for a couple to sleep together in the children's room.

Chaochao slept so soundly that she was not woken up when Yu Zimo came the next day.

When I came out with messy hair, I saw my uncle sitting in the living room playing with his cell phone.

Hearing the noise, Yu Zimo immediately looked up and put away his phone, "Chao Chao is awake?"

"Where are mom and dad?"

Yu Zimo took her hand and went to brush her teeth and wash her face. "Sister went to the hospital to see your grandmother. Brother-in-law is on the phone next door. Did you hear it?"

Chaochao tilted her ear and heard her father's low voice coming from the conference room intermittently.

She nodded and quickly cleaned herself up.

Yu Zimo then took her to the door of the conference room, stuck his head in halfway, and took advantage of He Nanzhou's pause to whisper, "Brother-in-law, I'll take Chao Chao downstairs for breakfast and come back up after breakfast."

He Nanzhou covered his phone and looked at Chao Chao, "Wait a moment, I'll get something and go downstairs with you guys."

"No, no, Dad is busy. My uncle and I can handle it." Chao Chao shook her head repeatedly. She knew that the restaurant was on the first floor below and she had her familiar uncle by her side, so she was not afraid.

He Nanzhou smiled and said, "I'm not busy, I'm just making a phone call. I can go downstairs and call later."

He insisted on going together, so Chaochao could only wait for him for a while.

When they reached the first floor, He Nanzhou didn't go into the restaurant. He handed the room card to Yu Zimo and said, "I've already eaten. I'll be waiting for you in the lobby. Take your time and eat. There's no rush."

"it is good."

Yu Zimo took Chaochao's hand and walked into the buffet restaurant. Chaochao was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw a restaurant where she could choose and get her own food.

She was small and light, so Yu Zimo simply picked her up and let her see what she wanted to eat. She pointed out each one to him, and then he would take them all to her.

Chao Chao asked quietly, "Is it really free? No matter how much you take, it doesn't cost any money?"

"Breakfast is included in the room rate, so you don't have to pay for it no matter how much you take. Besides, how much can your little stomach hold? Don't worry, this kind of business will definitely not be at a disadvantage."

Chaochao touched her belly and felt that she could eat a lot now.

She leaned her head over and looked carefully. There were many things she had never seen before.

Although Zhao Ma usually cooks a lot of different dishes, none of them are as numerous and rich as those in the restaurant. She feels that everything is delicious.

Chao Chao saw porridge, milk, egg tarts, fried rice, vegetables, bread, cakes, eggs, sausages—things she had seen before.

Yu Zimo explained to her the rest of the things she didn't know.

Until Chao Chao saw the sweet potatoes in a vegetable bowl...

Sweet potato was the first unfamiliar food Chao Chao encountered after returning to the modern era. However, she only ate it once and never ate it again after returning to the He family's old house.

She still vaguely remembered the taste of the sweet potato, which was a bit sweet and very filling.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but point to the sweet potatoes.

Yu Zimo said, "You want to eat sweet potatoes?" Seeing Chao Chao nod, he said, "We don't eat this. This sweet potato is just steamed and tastes so-so. Let me tell you, we'll go out and buy some later. There's a place that sells roasted sweet potatoes not far from the hospital. Those are the best. The skin is roasted and has a nice, burnt aroma, and the inside is soft and sticky. It's sweet and fragrant when you take a bite. I've eaten so many sweet potatoes, and this is the best I've ever tasted. The owner must have some skills to roast a sweet potato into something delicious."

As he spoke, he slurped.

Chaochao was always tempted by what he said, so she withdrew her hand and stopped looking at the sweet potato.

Even when Yu Zimo brought her a tray and led her to the dining table to eat, she couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, do you often eat sweet potatoes? Do you eat a lot?"

"Not very often, really. Two years ago, my dad and I went back to our hometown, and an uncle there gave us a big bag of sweet potatoes he'd grown himself, to take back to Fancheng. During that time, my mom cooked them in all sorts of different ways, and I ate them every day... I mean, I had the hiccups. As a result, I haven't dared touch sweet potatoes for over a year, and only in the last six months have I occasionally tried one or two."

Chao Chao blinked and said, "You can give someone a big bag of sweet potatoes as a gift. Mom said the yield is high, and it turns out it's true."

That's grain! No one in Shangliu Village would be so generous as to give someone a large bag of grain. My uncle's great-uncle must be quite old, and he must have worked very hard farming. He gave so much away, which means he had a lot.

Yu Zimo listened to her mumbling and said with amusement, "Of course the yield of sweet potatoes is high."

"Uncle, have you ever planted it?"

"Me? Of course I haven't planted it, but I have taken pictures of the sweet potato field. You definitely haven't seen it. Let me show you." Yu Zimo wiped his hands and took out his cell phone.

Before Chao Chao could react much, the people of Da Qi Chao began to breathe faster and stretched their necks to get closer to Tianmu.

Emperor Jingxuan hurriedly instructed the recorder beside him, "Quick, look carefully and draw it."

When they heard Chaochao mention sweet potatoes, they became excited and looked forward to them saying more.

I didn't expect Chaochao to be so considerate. Not only did he ask, but he even brought up the sweet potato field.

Although they saw sweet potatoes both times, they had only seen cooked sweet potatoes and had no idea what raw ones looked like.

Now, they can see the appearance of sweet potatoes that have not yet been harvested, which is a pleasant surprise.

Yu Zimo dug out some photos from his previous trip to his hometown. There were photos of him pulling out a bunch of sweet potatoes, him holding a big sweet potato with his mouth wide open and his hands covered in dirt, looking silly, and him standing in the sweet potato field with his hands on his hips.

Chao Chao was amazed when he saw that there were many sweet potatoes hanging under a sweet potato vine. He finally understood what high yield meant.

The people of Daqi under the canopy exclaimed in amazement, "Oh my God, it turns out sweet potatoes grow underground."

"If we hadn't seen it in the ground now, we wouldn't know where to look for it."

Emperor Jingxuan felt refreshed. "Okay, okay, all of you remember the appearance of the sweet potato vine, draw it, and have the local authorities find it as soon as possible."

Finally, there are further clues in the search for sweet potatoes.
