Chapter 204 Yam (VII)
"Master chef, you said before that you have dug medicinal herbs that grow in a similar way to yam. Then you can dig a yam first. I and other masters will dig it the same way you did."
"No problem."
Mr. Fan used a sickle to cut the vine of a yam, and then used his hands to dig away the soil around the yam. After determining the exact growth location of the yam, he began to dig around the yam with a hoe until he reached the root of the yam. He then put the hoe aside, lay on the ground, and pulled the yam out of the nearly one-meter-deep pit with his hands.
Looking at the intact yam in his hand, Mr. Fan smiled and said, "This yam is growing well. It looks like it's almost one meter long. But it's too difficult to dig. It seems that we won't be able to finish digging this piece in half a month."
Foreman Xie had been so frightened since Mr. Fan started digging the yam that he kept his mouth shut. After hearing what Mr. Fan said, he quickly replied, "This is not too difficult to dig, this is simply the most difficult thing to dig in the world. When I dug sweet potatoes before, I felt that it was difficult to dig them without breaking them. After seeing you digging this yam today, I suddenly felt that digging sweet potatoes before was too easy."
"Haha... Thank you, Foreman. Digging this yam requires not only physical strength but also patience. Otherwise, it will be easy to break it. You must be careful when you dig later. This is the food that Xiao found for us." Old Fan said.
"Hmph... I, Old Xie, have great patience. Not only do I have great patience, I also have great stamina. I will definitely dig quickly and well in a while. You guys are so envious."
Seeing that Mr. Fan and Foreman Xie were competing with each other, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Master Chef, Second Chef, let's talk about this when we get back. This yam is so difficult to dig. If we don't hurry up and dig it now, we may not be able to dig many in the whole afternoon."
"Mr. Fan, Foreman Xie, Xiao girl is right. Let's hurry up and start digging." Professor Wang said.
Professor Wang didn't want to say anything at first. He really enjoyed watching Mr. Fan tease Foreman Xie every day. His life was so boring and he was so determined not to ruin the fun he had. But when he thought of the serious business, he had to stop watching the fun and spoke up to dissuade him.
In the following time, everyone was working hard to dig yams, but General Xie was the fastest among all. He dug a pile of yams in a short while. It would have been even better if the yams had not broken.
Around five o'clock in the evening, the yams dug out filled the two sacks that we brought, so everyone stopped and leaned against a tree to rest.
"Xiao girl, put all the yams we dug out in your house. We can't hide so many yams. If someone finds these yams, we will definitely be charged with stealing collective property." Old Fan said.
"Master Chef, I originally wanted to tell you to keep the yams at my house, and then send you some every few days."
"Then let's send the yams to your house now, but you go home first. We will wait at the foot of the mountain until dark and then carry the yams to your house. This way, no one will find out that you have a relationship with us." Old Fan said.
"Okay, then I'll go home and cook first. When the chefs get to my house later, we can eat directly."
After Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, she went to the kitchen and saw that Zhang Xu had not taken the radish stewed with lamb out of the pot, so she lit the fire and reheated it.
There will be two more updates in the evening. My dears, don’t forget to vote for the recommendation and collect it after reading it, otherwise Huahua will be sad and cry... Woohoo
