First, the post-80s generation actually suffered from hunger in the early 1990s. Sweet potato is a rare sacred product to satisfy hunger.
As far as I can remember, there is not enough rice at home. Every year, I need to get some food from various places, sometimes I buy it, but it is mostly replaced by other foods, and sweet potato is one of them. At that time, sweet potatoes would not be planted in the fields like today, but in the mountains. At that time, there were many barren hills, and the land was surrounded by ridges and fill, so many sweet potatoes were planted. After a year, we added one or two kilos of rice and cassava to keep most people in our village from starving.
You know, in those days, it was actually a luxury to have enough to eat. People who haven't experienced it will never imagine that there are still people starving in the 1990s. At that time, the adults in the family went up the mountain to do things, and the friends took turns to go to which one to play. Then the food in their family was unscientific, and they steamed sweet potatoes for everyone at noon, at least the children could eat something.
Second, once I have flatulence, I often eat sweet potatoes.
I believe many people know the characteristics of eating sweet potatoes and farting. When I was a child, I didn't pay attention to eating, and sometimes I often ate unsanitary food, which would lead to flatulence. There were not many medicines at that time. As long as my stomach is flatulence, my parents either feed Baota sugar or sweet potato. I am one of Xiong Haizi, because the sweetness of these two things is often the same as in martial arts dramas? Luck made my stomach swell, so that my parents could give me Baota sugar and sweet potatoes to eat.
At that time, the little friends were the same. Sweet potato is very sweet, most people like it, but if you eat too much, you will have heartburn. If you gain something, you lose something. Many people had stomach problems after 80s, and that was at that time. As for the indecent smell of running around after eating too much fart, he is also a decent man now, so I won't mention it here.
Third, from childhood to adolescence, my snacks are dried sweet potatoes.
At that time, it was very poor, there were few snacks and spicy strips were extravagant. Every household can get dried sweet potatoes and peanuts, but peanuts can be used to extract oil. In those days when oil and water were scarce, peanuts could not be eaten often. Fortunately, there are many sweet potatoes. Picking a better day and steaming in the sun has become a recognized snack.
Dried sweet potatoes are delicious only when they are half dry. When they really dry, they are actually very hard. For better preservation, they will be dried more. It's time to test their teeth. Although this snack is not delicious now, it may be a bitter experience. Every year, a batch of hard sweet potatoes are baked and chewed, which always puzzles my wife.
Generally speaking, no matter how many functions the present sweet potato is endowed with, for me, it only brings me the above three benefits, and that's all.
