Early autumn was when the sweet potatoes were just on the market. When I was shopping on weekends, I saw that there were a lot of stalls selling sweet potatoes in the market; I thought that the sweet potatoes came out, but they had to wait until the frosting was the sweetest and the best. Now I guess it doesn’t taste much. Although I think so, I can’t help but pick a few and put them next to me; I heard that sweet potatoes baked in the oven are very delicious, and it happens that my oven has this function; haha: I don’t know, try I was taken aback; it was even more delicious than the ones baked in the vat of street vendors; I didn’t even like tomato skins, but this time I also ate sweet potato skins~~~"
