Aldana Candi watched his departing figure, raising an eyebrow slightly—hmm? Angry?

The wild vegetables cooked with mushrooms were so delicious they were eyebrow-raising.
Even the steamed sweet potatoes seemed to taste sweeter.
Aldana Candi sat on the ground, hugging her legs, nibbling on the sweet potato.
The newly steamed sweet potato seemed to have a bit of a milky taste, she thought maybe it was a different variety. If she could find this variety and propagate it outside, she might make a fortune.
Aldana Candi had a small appetite; after eating half of the sweet potato, she couldn't eat any more.
Philip Shaw glanced at her and saw her lack of interest, asking, "Not eating anymore?"
She shook her head, patting her belly, "Can't eat anymore."
