Lian Manman thought for a moment, then nodded her head. Then she and Xiao Qi went to find Lian Shouxin.

Wang Youheng had once promised to write and ask the person who sent him the sweet potatoes for detailed information on their cultivation and planting. Later, indeed, a reply was received, and according to the letter, the sweet potatoes could be harvested three to four months after planting. Lian Shouxin had also inquired about this with Lin Ahshui, the man from the Prefecture of Fuzhou who helped them nurture the sweet potato seedlings, and the answer was the same.
