In fact, the red and white purple sweet potatoes could also be planted through cutting, which was more convenient. However, since they had roots, they could just plant them just like that.
There were no potatoes in this world, so Xue Yan didn’t know about it. He always followed Jiang Yue’s words, so he answered with another okay.
“Potatoes. Just by its name, you can tell that it grows in the soil. Not only does it have a high yield, but the potato sizes will be quite big.”
“Okay.”
“These are sweet potato seedlings, these are white potato seedlings, and these are purple potato seedlings. There should be no mistake. Take a look at the color of the leaves, there are still obvious differences. The purple sweet potato seedlings turn purple and black. The sweet potato seedlings are dark green.”
“Yes.”
“These three also grow in the ground. Actually, they have another name, sweet potato. Now that people ask us, we all say that we don’t know what they are. In the future, when the fruits grow in the ground, we’ll name them red sweet potato, white sweet potato, and purple sweet potato. These names are easier to understand.”
“Yes.”
“Actually, we can wash the starch out of potatoes and sweet potatoes to make potato flour and vermicelli. I like to eat these. I will wash them when the time comes.” Jiang Yue was able to say these words calmly.
The first time she talked about her cravings, it was a little awkward. However, now, it was the third time, so she didn’t care anymore.
After all, this wasn’t a big deal. What kind of food was something that one didn’t want to eat?
Xue Yan knew that she wouldn’t feel embarrassed, but he didn’t know about starch, potato flour, and vermicelli. He didn’t ask too much, because he would eventually find out anyway.
“Okay,” he replied.
“You sit here, I’ll go over there and take a look.” Jiang Yue brought a small shovel with her. Sometimes, there would be a seedling in her hand, which she would plant on the ground.
Xue Yan watched Jiang Yue plant two potato seedlings on one side, then move to another place to plant a tomato seedling, and then to another slope to plant a few sweet potato seedlings.
Then, she returned and planted another one in the field beside the road where he was sitting.
It was planted as if it had grown naturally.
There were no signs of artificial cultivation at all.
Xue Yan knew that this was a flawless plan.
At that time, if someone really wanted to get to the bottom of it, they could just bring that person here to take a look and say that they dug it up from this mountain. Then, it would be fine.
“Since I’ve already shown you how to do it, then do it to the best of your ability,” When Jiang Yue said this, she also gave him a few scattered seedlings and asked him to find a place to plant them.
Xue Yan tried to plant it as if it had grown naturally.
He even planted two sprouts halfway up the mountain.
As the two of them strolled around the mountain, Jiang Yue scattered a few tomato seeds and planted a few potatoes and sweet potato seedlings.
After taking a good walk around the mountain and getting familiar with it, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan left the mountain and went home at noon.
Xue Yan was still carrying the basket on his back.
On their way back, they passed by the river and scattered a few seeds in the field by the river. However, they were not tomato seeds but strawberry seeds.
When they got home, Liu Guixia and Li Hehua had just finished preparing lunch. When they saw them coming back, they smiled and said, “I was just about to go to the village entrance to call you back for dinner, but you came back just in time.”
Seeing the things in the basket, Liu Guixia and the others were confused. “What’s all this?”
“I don’t know, ” Jiang Yue replied, “I saw it on the mountain. Even Xue Yan doesn’t know what it is, so we dug it up and wanted to plant it on the other three acres of land.”
