Snow
I have always felt that the four seasons are smelly since I was a child.
Spring is a warm floral fragrance and buds sprouting. Summer is the steaming saplings and moss. Autumn is a clear and sharp wind, blowing through the dry soil and yellow leaves. In winter, the world is white, empty and estranged.
But there is one thing that can make the taste of winter less harsh, and so is the baked sweet potato.

sweet potato is the official name on the "Flora of China". I know that in your case, it might be called "sweet potato", "sweet potato", "sweet potato", "taro", "sweet potato", "sweet potato"... etc. Z7z will not talk about this, but who has never been tempted by roasted sweet potatoes in winter? It was dark early, often only at five o'clock, and the whole sky was as dark as ink. At the entrance of the school or subway under the street lamp, the sweet and sweet taste of roasted sweet potatoes can always float to your side immediately. It is very intimate and very self-cooked. It is called the guarded and the passers-by with their necks clamped and walking. Ease down, Gu Pan once, and hesitate two steps. However, I can't see where it is at a glance. It has the accent of "the dragon sees the end but not the head", and it reminds people of the style of Wang Xifeng when he first appeared in "Dream of Red Mansions".
Some people can't control their desires, so they must rush to find one and buy one in the palm of their hand; others, like me, have no courage, just take two more breaths of the warm and sweet scent, which is enough to hold it back. Home, light a lantern to cook a hot dish. Occasionally buy one to eat, it is even more cherished-and its original tight and thin layer of skin swells up after baking, and the texture becomes hard and crunchy, knocking on this simple and almost stubborn appearance, Inside is the golden yellow, full of richness and sweetness, thick and pure, melting in the mouth, in the cold and bleakness of the sky, it really seems to be holding a bunch of soft gold. The interesting thing about
is that this gold is very cheap: three or five coins are done, and the tender joy it brings, but it is really hard to find anything comparable to it.
