Chapter 298: Sweet Potato

The villagers were amazed by a few roasted and blackened sweet potatoes, and pointed at them, but no one dared to eat them. Although this thing smells very good, it is so ugly, it is completely a piece of coke, who dares to eat it?

Chen Fei desperately held back his saliva, put a few more small sweet potatoes into the small stove, and then almost trembled with his hands to hold the branches, stirring the sweet potatoes that had been roasted on the ground.

Carefully picked up a sweet potato, although the hot Chen Fei changed hands left and right, he still wanted to cry at the moment.

Sweet potato! How long has it been since you had this delicacy? When he came to Datang for almost half a year, he always remembered that one day he would do nothing, so he sat in the shade of a tree, built a small stove, and roasted sweet potatoes one after another. It's beautiful to think about!

And now, the original wish is about to come true, how can Chen Fei not be excited?

Chen Fei was very excited, but the villagers on the side looked at him like fools, and some people did not shy away from talking in a low voice: "Hey." Do you say that the Chen family baby has fallen into evil? This lump of dirt is roasted like a piece of charcoal, and it doesn't look like something that can be eaten. ”

"yes." Some villagers echoed, then looked left and right, lowered their voices, and said mysteriously to the people around them: "I heard that the monsters in the mountains can make witchcraft, make people have some illusions, and cause people to go crazy, I think Ah Fei's symptoms are quite similar." ”

Another villager also said with concern: "Yes! Do you think this scent is a monster making a spell? If you smoke too much, it will give people an illusion? Mistakenly think that the lump can be eaten, and then eat it until it dies? ”

"Wow!" A few timid villagers around him were so frightened that they took several steps back. And the voices of several of them were not small, most of them, even Chen Fei, heard their discussions.

Chen Fei didn't care what they said, but his father was not calm, seeing Chen Fei holding the "lump" of the black hemp ball as if he was holding the baby, he was worried that what the villagers said was true, and stepped forward and asked carefully: "Ah Fei?" Hoodlum? Are you okay? ”

Chen Fei turned around and smiled at his father: "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine, this thing can be eaten, and it's delicious, it's not as evil as they say, you can rest assured." ”

As he spoke, Chen Fei carefully peeled off the scorched black skin outside, and the golden and soft flesh was suddenly presented in front of everyone, and the fragrance was even more dissipating as if it didn't need money, provoking everyone's fragile olfactory nerves.

Some children couldn't help it and reached out to grab the sweet potatoes on the ground, but were stopped by the adults in his family. "Don't move, let's see how Ah Fei eats first."

New things are always difficult to understand, so the villagers are still skeptical of sweet potatoes, unless Chen Fei eats them.

"Whew!" After blowing the sweet potato cold, Chen Fei carefully bit a small piece of sweet potato, the entrance was still a little hot, but the fragrant smell made him can't help but chew a few more times in his mouth, savoring the usual unforgettable taste.

"This sweet potato variety is good, the yield is high and the question is very sweet and delicious!" Chen Fei gave a thumbs up, puffed in his mouth, took another bite, and ate it with a snort.

Seeing a large group of people swallowing and looking at him, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Chen Fei broke the sweet potato in his hand in half and gave half to his father.

"Dad, try it, it tastes good, it's just a little hot, be careful."

Dad took the sweet potato, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe his son, carefully took a bite, and chewed it in his mouth...

"Hmm!" Daddy's eyes widened suddenly, and his facial expression gradually became incredible, and then in the surprised eyes of the villagers, he lowered his head and carefully took a bite of the sweet potato, learning from Chen Fei's example, snorting and blowing, and eating a small piece of sweet potato, bite after bite, the father and son were very happy to eat, and they couldn't stop.

Soon, a sweet potato was eaten by the father and son, and Chen Fei reached out and grabbed the second ......

"You... Eat? Chen Fei picked up the second sweet potato and hesitated, and asked the people staring at him, if everyone answered "no", then everyone would be happy, he could enjoy the food alone, but if it was......

"Big brother, I want to try it, can I?" A little girl blinked and looked at Chen Fei with big eyes.

Chen Fei is not a stingy person, he is still very polite to the villagers, and when he heard the words, he broke the sweet potato and divided it into two, one for the little girl and one for his father.

The little girl blew two breaths and ate it, and after tasting the taste, she even called it delicious, the little girl's father was a little more reserved, and took the ** potato for a long time, hesitated for a while, and finally didn't resist the temptation of the aroma, lowered his head and took a bite...

"Hmm!" The man's expression was the same as Chen Daomai's, first he became stunned, and then he was conquered by the food, he didn't care about burning his mouth, and continued to eat one bite at a time, with the word "delicious" written on his face!

Seeing this scene, the villagers were not calm, and several greedy people begged Chen Fei one after another.

Because there was not much baking, Chen Fei had to divide a sweet potato into several points and distribute it to the villagers, and only about two bites could be eaten by one person, even so, the villagers who had tasted the sweet potato were full of praise for this question.

Only a few of the villagers were good-looking, still insisting that this thing was not a good thing, and stood motionless, just rolling their throats up and down to betray their inner thoughts.

The villagers who have eaten sweet potatoes are more strange. Because of such a delicious thing, they had never heard of it before!

So everyone is curious about the "sweet potato", curious about how this came about, it can't come out of nowhere, right?

But this really came out of nowhere!

Chen Fei couldn't cry or laugh in the face of everyone's questions, so he had to say that this was a species he occasionally discovered, and he found it when he was very young, so small that he couldn't remember it.

With such a perfunctory answer, the villagers naturally didn't believe it, but seeing that Chen Fei was reluctant to say it, everyone didn't ask much.

However, the most knowledgeable village chief Yang found a little strange from the name of the sweet potato.

"Sweet potato... Sweet potato... Since it has a fan, isn't this a species introduced by Hu Shang? The village chief shook his head and said.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's the species brought in by Hu Shang! Chen Fei hurriedly followed the village chief's words, anyway, as long as he can bluff everyone.

"Humph! I can't imagine that there is such a rare species in the land of barbarians, it is really a waste of food, since this thing has arrived in the Tang Dynasty, it is not suitable to call it sweet potato, it is better to call it... Sweet potato, right? Without Chen Fei's consent, the village chief directly gave the sweet potato a nickname, which won everyone's unanimous applause.

"Good! Sweet potatoes are so good-sounding that they let people know that they grow in the soil. ”

"That's right! And this thing will be surnamed Tang in the future. ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme! The name sweet potato is much better than sweet potato. ”

The villagers chattered, and just bent the sweet potato into a "sweet potato", which made Chen Fei dumbfounded, and secretly said that you are too casual, and you don't take him seriously at all.

"Sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes, anyway, many people in later generations will call it that, and the American continent has not yet been discovered, sweet potatoes are native to our Chinese nation from now on!"

Chen Fei smiled with honey, and his mind began to be crooked.

"Anyway, in the future, do you want to build a fleet to conquer the Americas and create a colony? What a happy annoyance......"
