"Zhou Zhiqing, Chen Zhiqing..."
"You guys come and dig sweet potatoes too. Let me tell you, sweet potatoes are not easy to dig."
As soon as they arrived at the sweet potato field, the villagers said to them.
The villagers were not afraid that they would steal the sweet potatoes from the fields, they were just giving them a kind reminder.
"It's okay, we're just here for a walk. If we don't find anything, forget it." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
"Go to the soybean field, the beans are easy to pick." The villagers were afraid that Zhou Ziwen's work was in vain, so they introduced them to a good place.
"Okay, I'll go there later." Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement.
If he hadn't stepped on the cloud, he wouldn't have dared to compete with these things buried in the soil.
But Taoyun has a sharp nose and can find things quickly. Compared with picking beans one by one, digging sweet potatoes is much more cost-effective.
If you dig up a big one, it's worth picking beans for half a day.
"Step on the cloud, hurry up."
Avoiding the place where the villagers were digging sweet potatoes, Zhou Ziwen found a piece of sweet potato debris, asked Tayun to smell it, and let it start working.
Tayun was already quite familiar with Zhou Ziwen's inappropriate behavior.
But it did not refuse. After all, it was also a member of this family, and it had to do its part to support the family.
After sniffing the sweet potato carefully, it happily wandered around in the sweet potato field.
With its sensitive sense of smell, it can find the sweet potatoes left in the field.
Seeing how skilled Tayun was, Chen Qiaoyi followed it curiously, wanting to see if it could find it.
"Let's start too!" Zhou Ziwen looked at Chen Shiying, Shen Zhaodi and others around him and said.
"Brother Zhou, how do we do this?" Shen Zhaodi asked curiously.
Chen Shiying on the side also looked over.
"There's no special skill involved. Just go with your feeling. Dig wherever you feel there's something." Zhou Ziwen smiled and picked a random spot with a shovel to start digging.
The result was obvious, there was nothing after digging.
However, Zhou Ziwen was strong and fast, so it didn't take him long to dig a hole.
Perhaps this is his only advantage in digging sweet potatoes.
"Woof woof."
After a while, Tayun was the first to make a discovery.
I saw Tayun staring at Zhou Ziwen with its black eyes, calling out as it looked.
As for Chen Qiaoyi, who was clearly by its side, it selectively forgot about her.
"Ta Yun." Chen Qiaoyi gave it an angry look, looking down on people.
"Haha, why are you competing with a dog!" Zhou Ziwen came to Chen Qiaoyi and rubbed her head.
"It bullies people." Chen Qiaoyi seemed to have found support, pointing at Tayun and complaining aggrievedly.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you clean it up." Zhou Ziwen consoled him with a smile and tapped Tayun lightly on the head. "I told you not to be disobedient, I told you not to be disobedient."
Stepping on the cloud: "..."
I may not be human, but you are really a coward.
After playing around for a while, Zhou Ziwen got down to business.
Start digging the ground where Tayun is looking.
With one shovel, a large amount of soil was brought up, and soon a piece of sweet potato skin was revealed.
"There really are sweet potatoes!" Chen Qiaoyi was sharp-eyed and was very surprised when she saw the exposed sweet potatoes.
It was the first time she saw Tayun's ability. She had only heard Zhou Ziwen talk about it before.
"Tayun's nose is very powerful." Zhou Ziwen praised, then dug out the sweet potato.
This sweet potato is not big, only as big as a child's fist. It must have run away and was left in the field.
"Great, Tayun, what a good dog."
Seeing the commotion here, Chen Shiying, Shen Zhaodi and the others ran over, and Zhou Chaoyang looked admiring.
When he was in the city, he had seen many dogs and even raised one, but none of the dogs he met was as smart as Tayun.
"I heard that black dogs are the most intelligent. Today I finally got to see it." Shen Zhaodi also said from the side.
Although Ta Yun is not covered with black fur, there is only a little white on its four paws, which is why it is called Ta Yun.
"Let's keep digging, Tayun, keep going!" Zhou Ziwen patted Tayun's dog head, pushed it, and told it to continue working.
Zhou Chaoyang was full of envy when he saw Tayun happily going to look for sweet potatoes again.
"Should I also find a dog to raise?"
"Sure. There are so many dogs in the village. You can go find one and I'll ask Tayun to help take care of it. After we bring it out, we'll go hunting in the mountains together." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Then I'll go ask some other day." Zhou Chaoyang became interested upon hearing this.
"OK."
As they were talking, Tayun, who had been searching for a while, started calling again. From the way it dug the soil while calling, it was clear that it had found another sweet potato.
Zhou Ziwen walked over, dug it up with a shovel and saw that there were indeed sweet potatoes.
Next, Zhou Ziwen took Tayun to wander around in the sweet potato field. After a morning, they harvested more than 20 kilograms.
This area has actually been turned over by the villagers, and there are very few sweet potatoes left.
If you come here just after the autumn harvest, you might be able to get more.
However, Zhou Ziwen is a contented person. He came here to get something in return, so he is glad to have gained something.
"There's nothing much to do with this piece of land. Let's go to the potato field this afternoon."
Seeing that the harvest from the sweet potato field was not great, Zhou Ziwen decided to move to another place.
The sweet potato vines grow too hard, and they basically grow in clusters, so very few are left behind.
It would be better to go to the potato field. The potato vines are not strong and grow more scattered, so you will probably miss a lot of them.
“This is too hard to dig!”
After a whole morning, except for Zhou Ziwen, the others had little harvest. Zhou Chaoyang dug for half a day and finally found a few good sweet potatoes.
Seeing that the harvest was so little, he decided not to do it anymore.
"I told you that digging this up depends on luck, but you just don't believe me." Zhou Ziwen was gloating a little.
"Haha, if it weren't for Tayun, you wouldn't be able to dig so much." Zhou Chaoyang said disdainfully.
"I trained Tayun, so its achievements are my achievements." Zhou Ziwen was a little proud.
If it weren't for his training, no matter how smart Tayun was, it would be useless.
Just like those police dogs, how could they be so powerful without long-term training?
"whee."
"Ha ha!"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen's shameless speech, everyone present laughed.
"It's getting late, let's go back and have dinner first!" Chen Shiying reminded.
"Then let's go back first." Zhou Ziwen was no longer planning to dig sweet potatoes.
After returning home, Chen Shiying fried the sweet potatoes that Zhou Ziwen had dug up and ate them.
But twenty pounds of sweet potatoes is a lot, and you can’t finish them in one meal.
Fortunately, sweet potatoes have a long storage time. As long as the skin is not damaged, they can be stored for several months without any problems.
Today's lunch was the roasted rabbit that I didn't finish yesterday, plus two vegetables. It was a simple meal.
After a short rest in the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen brought Tayun to the potato field, with Chen's little sister beside him.
Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi did not come, but stayed at home to do other things. (End of this chapter)
