"Wake up! Wake up!"
Ye Feng immediately woke up Liu Sisi and Qi Xiaojie, who were still fast asleep.
Have you two seen Nobita?
Both of them rubbed their eyes and shook their heads...
"Could he have gone out to use the restroom?"
"Is he stupid? Why would he go all the way here to poop when there's no one around?"
Ye Feng had a vague feeling that something was wrong, so he picked up his compound bow and prepared to go out and search.
But as soon as the three of them climbed down the wooden ladder, they heard Fu Changxiong shouting…
"Dude! This is incredible! Look what I found!"
Ye Feng turned around and saw that Fu Changxiong was holding a bundle of vines in his left hand and a plant in his right hand.
They were running towards him excitedly.
The three of them quickly went to greet them.
As he approached, Fu Changxiong, panting, handed him the plant in his hand.
Ye Feng took a look and saw that hanging under the plant was a black spherical object several times larger than a fist.
Having grown up in the countryside, he recognized it at a glance…
"Holy crap! Taro!? Where did you find that?"
Fu Changxiong pointed to the hilltop…
"I woke up early today and had nothing to do, so I thought I'd go find some building materials, like rattan or something."
As they searched, they eventually found themselves on the mountain, and that's when they discovered this thing.
Ye Feng was overjoyed and excitedly asked:
How far? How much?
Fu Changxiong chuckled…
“There are plenty! I’ve seen at least twenty or thirty of them. They’re just up on the hillside, only a ten-minute walk away.”
Ye Feng couldn't help but grin, and quickly began directing Qi Xiaojie...
"Quick! Go get two empty backpacks, two knives, and leg wraps and sleeves. We're in for a treat today!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaojie quickly climbed back to the treehouse and grabbed all his equipment.
The four of them couldn't wait any longer and headed up the mountain...
Ye Feng was the most excited among them.
Anyone who has eaten taro knows that it has a soft, delicate texture and is sweet and glutinous.
Although it is low in calories, it is very filling and contains many trace elements.
However, these were not the things Ye Feng valued.
It's actually the starch in taro.
With this substance, he can create many ready-to-eat, nutritious, and portable foods.
Thinking of this, he got so excited that he started jogging, while Liu Sisi behind him couldn't keep up with the three men at all.
"Hey, Brother Feng, wait for me! It's just taro, it's not like they can run away. Why are you so excited..."
Liu Sisi was out of breath from running...
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng slowed his pace slightly and asked with a smile:
"Sisi, what did you say was your favorite food?"
Liu Sisi replied without hesitation:
"Dumplings, steamed buns, hamburgers."
"Ha ha."
Ye Feng waved the taro in his hand...
"If I told you I could turn this thing into whatever you described, would you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, not only Liu Sisi, but also Qi Xiaojie and Fu Changxiong spoke up at the same time.
"real!?"
"Bro, you can really make dumplings?"
"Brother Feng, you...you're not...you're not joking, are you? I want to...eat...eat steamed buns."
"Brother Feng, are you sure?"
At this moment, all three of them stared intently at Ye Feng, their eyes shining.
If someone else said this, they would just think it was bragging.
But they've known Ye Feng for so long, they understand his creativity and knowledge all too well.
In fact, even if Ye Feng told them definitively that he could prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, it would be impossible.
They will still firmly believe it.
Faced with the three people's questioning and expectant eyes, Ye Feng nodded confidently.
"Of course it's true. This taro contains a lot of starch. I can use the starch to make... Eh!?"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Sisi, who was already exhausted, suddenly grabbed his hand and ran forward...
"Oh, I believe you. Hurry up, time waits for no one."
"Yes, yes, hurry up."
...
Suddenly, the three of them were carrying him and running. They were even faster than before.
Indeed, a person's potential depends on the magnitude of the potential benefit.
In less than ten minutes, the four of them arrived at their destination.
They were standing two-thirds of the way up the mountain.
Logically speaking, this is a slope with a considerable angle, after all, it's located in the middle of the mountain.
But what they now see before them is a truly low-lying area.
This makes one admire the wonders of nature.
This unique terrain is as if God took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of water from the sky.
What surprised Ye Feng even more was that the forest that stretched as far as the eye could see suddenly stopped here.
The entire area, spanning over a hundred square meters, is bathed in sunlight.
In this depression, he immediately spotted no fewer than 30 taro plants with leaves.
And in those places covered by weeds and many root plants, there must be even more taro.
He took a few steps forward and came to a taro plant.
Because it was in muddy, wet ground, he pulled it out without much effort.
Looking at the taro, which was the size of a rugby ball, he finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha…"
Ye Feng was overjoyed; this was simply the perfect place for taro to grow.
This plant prefers to grow in sunny locations with moist soil.
This will make them grow even faster, coupled with the uniquely high oxygen content of the Amazon.
This results in taro plants that are large and plump, even larger than those grown artificially.
What the book said is indeed true; places with beautiful mountains and rivers are indeed full of opportunities.
"What a great place! Looks like we've really struck it rich this time."
“Brother Feng, look, there are some on that slope over there too.”
Liu Sisi suddenly pointed to the two o'clock position on the right.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Feng could vaguely see seven or eight taro leaves on a slope about a hundred meters away.
However, the taro leaves there were noticeably smaller than those in the low-lying area because they were hidden by trees.
Ye Feng immediately went over...
He had intended to pull it out directly, but the soil here was too hard, and he couldn't just pull it out by force.
So he had no choice but to dig it out with a knife.
It turned out that this taro would be considered quite large if it were sold in the market.
But it's still almost half the size of the previous one.
"Looks like this soil isn't good enough. It's so small, I can finish it in one bite."
Fu Changxiong shook his head with some regret…
But Ye Feng's eyes lit up; he still had to survive here for more than two months.
Why not start some aquaculture?
"Everyone, what do you think about us planting some taro here?"
Upon hearing this, before Qi Xiaojie and Liu Sisi could even speak, Fu Changxiong shook his head repeatedly…
"No, I've farmed back in my hometown. My dad said that it takes 6 to 8 months for this thing to grow to maturity."
Even if we plant them, we won't live to see them grow. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?
