Most of the first batch of sweet potatoes were sent to the warehouse, and only a small part was sent to the market for sale.
Looking at the situation this year, saving food was more important than saving money.
Of course, Wei Ruo still needed to sell a portion of the sweet potatoes to exchange for some silver, but this was not urgent. She needs to wait until the next few batches of sweet potatoes are all dug out, evaluate the total production, and then decide how much to sell.
Now she would only sell a small amount first, which is to promote this new type of crop and pave the way for subsequent large-scale sales.
In the market, a charcoal fire was set up next to the stall selling sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes were roasted on it.
Soon, the roasted sweet potatoes emitted a tempting aroma, attracting many people to stop by and ask.
Previously, there were endorsements for sweet potato vines and dried sweet potatoes, and everyone now has a certain understanding of this crop, knowing that it can be eaten and has a good taste.
The price of roasted sweet potatoes was neither expensive nor cheap, it was five cents a piece.
But this year, everyone can already foresee that there will be a shortage of grain, and the prices of grain in the rice shops are already rising. Considering that, the price of roasted sweet potatoes is reasonable.
After the first person bought it, tasted it on the spot and said it was delicious, the next one sold fast and were all sold out in a short time.
Many people still wanted to buy more, but the roasted sweet potato stall had closed down, and those who wanted it would have to come back another day.

In Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo was in a great mood.
Xiumei was also happy. Every time the crops were harvested, the young lady's mood became uplifted. If there were crops ripening every day, the young lady would probably be this cheerful every day.
What Xiumei didn't know was that Wei Ruo was not only happy because there was a bountiful harvest of sweet potatoes on Xiaoyang Mountain, but also because the sweet potatoes she had planted in her yard had ripened.
Although it cannot be compared in terms of quantity with those from Xiaoyang Mountain, it was personally planted by Wei Ruo and can obtain experience points.
Originally, she was missing 100 experience points from the 1000 experience points required to upgrade the space to the third level. With this acquisition, she directly obtained 200 experience points, and the space was successfully upgraded to the third level.
There was one more piece of land added in space, with a new type of plant - shiitake mushroom mycelium has been unlocked.
After the space upgrade, Wei Ruo immediately planted it on the land in space. The land in the space could be planted with anything, and she did not need to handle the soil and environment.
In space, the treatment of every plant was the same. So, she didn’t need to consider the environmental factors required for growing shiitake mushrooms compared to other plants. Which was so different in real life situations.
Because Wei Ruo wants to grow shiitake mushrooms outside the space, it would be more complex, requiring the materials preparation and a suitable environment.
Growing mushrooms under the current conditions had several advantages: Firstly, the growth cycle was shortened. Under the suitable temperature and air humidity, it could grow in a week.
Secondly, this thing did not need to be planted in the ground and did not occupy land resources. Land resources in Xingshan County were very limited. Even with the extra wasteland in the south of the city, there wasn’t enough area to cultivate.
The last thing that made Wei Ruo happy was that Xingshan County is mountainous and has many caves on the mountain. Last time she went to the Xie Family's villa, she found many natural caves formed on the nearby mountains.
If the humidity and temperature in the cave were suitable, it would be a natural mushroom cultivation room.

-shiitake mushroom mycellium: Shiitake is a slow grower and usually takes at least 12 months of colonization before producing mushrooms. The mycelium is white and turns bumpy or “popcorned” and brown in maturity. When logs are close to being ready to fruit, you should see mycelium on the ends.
