Chapter 116 Wild Chinese Yam

"What did you do this morning? Why are you so dirty?" Jiang Cuihua couldn't help but say something to her when she saw that her young lady was covered in dirt.

"Mom, look what I dug up?" Liu Yinyin took out a wild yam from the basket and showed it to Jiang Cuihua.

Jiang Cuihua was surprised: "... Yam? You found yam in the mountains?"

Wild yams have strong reproductive capabilities and generally grow in piles. If you find one, there will usually be a large area nearby.

Liu Yinyin nodded: "There are still a lot of them there. I can't dig them all by myself, so I'm coming back first. How about letting my brothers dig?"

Liu Yinyin couldn't be sure of the exact amount, but yam was indeed a good thing. Like sweet potato, it could even be used as a staple food to a certain extent.

It was impossible for Jiang Cuihua not to be moved. In this day and age, who can refuse food?

"Pack up first. I'll go back and ask your brothers to come over after lunch and go up the mountain with you." Jiang Cuihua said, adding, "Just like last time, I'll give you half of the yams we dig."

We can't let the young lady suffer any loss.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Okay, she quite likes eating yams.

Liu Yinyin boiled water to take a bath and washed her clothes. It was almost twelve o'clock.

Thinking that her brothers would come to see her, Liu Yinyin quickly prepared lunch, including white rice porridge, corn cakes, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, and wheat sprouts with garlic sauce.

Gu Yanyan now has to eat three meals a day, one is chicken and egg custard, and the other two are either rice porridge or noodles.

Just as the mother and son finished lunch, Jiang Cuihua came with her three sons.

Farmers are idle now and there is not much work to do in the fields, so Jiang Cuihua simply asked them all to take an afternoon off.

Anyway, there isn't much food in the village now, so it doesn't matter if I earn less work points.

"Mom, have you guys eaten?" Liu Yinyin had just baked a few more corn cakes, thinking that she could take them to the mountain to eat later.

After all, digging wild yams is physical work. Only after eating a full meal can you have the strength to work, right?

"It's all finished." Jiang Cuihua saw that her daughter had just finished her meal and hurriedly urged her, "I'll clean up the house, you guys hurry up the mountain."

It is best to dig up the wild yam before dark. The sooner you finish digging, the easier it will be to rest assured.

So, Liu Yinyin picked up a backpack and a hoe, and led the three brothers of the Liu family up the mountain again.

Liu Mingyuan was very excited at first, thinking that his younger sister was really lucky. Last time she found the chestnut tree, and this time she found wild yam.

When Liu Yinyin took them to a mountain that was not often visited by villagers, Liu Mingyuan exclaimed, "Little sister, you are really brave. This place is so dangerous, and you dare to come here alone."

This mountain is very steep and dangerous. I heard there are wolves in it, so few people in the village dare to come here.

"Yes, little sister, you are a girl, so you'd better not come here in the future." Brother Liu interrupted. Anyway, your family has enough food and clothing, so why do they need to come to a place like this to dig wild vegetables?

"I won't go far." Liu Yinyin laughed, "Gu Cheng brought me here last time. This road is quite safe."

In fact, the reason why she dared to come here was because she had means of self-defense, otherwise... Liu Yinyin would not come here alone to take risks.

When Liu Mingyuan heard that his brother-in-law had been here, he stopped talking. In his opinion, Gu Cheng was not a reckless person. Since he dared to bring his younger sister here, he must have something in mind.

Liu Yinyin made a lot of corn cakes at noon. She just packed seven corn cakes and gave two to each of the Liu brothers.

She was munching on one herself; the tortilla was made from pure cornmeal, nothing else added.

The corn cakes baked by Liu Yinyin are soft, glutinous and smooth, with a light sweet fragrance, and are not irritating to the throat at all.

After eating the corn cakes, we soon arrived at the place where Liu Yinyin had dug wild yams in the morning.

Liu Yinyin didn't quite understand, but the brothers of the Liu family could tell at a glance that the yam vines on the land were extremely thick and strong. In some places they grew densely and spread wildly in all directions.

There is no doubt that there must be a lot of yams under this land!

The Liu brothers instantly became motivated.

Digging wild yams is indeed a big project, but three brothers are enough.

Liu Mingyuan didn't let Liu Yinyin intervene and asked her to dig wild vegetables on the side.

Liu Yinyin didn't try to be stubborn and just walked around with the basket.

The mountains are truly full of treasures. After a short while, Liu Yinyin found another patch of wild kiwi fruit.

Maybe there was little rain this year, so the wild kiwis are quite small, but the yield is astonishing, with densely packed trees.

Liu Yinyin picked one and tasted it. It was 70% sweet and 30% sour, quite delicious.

Pouring the wild vegetables out of the basket, Liu Yinyin began to pick wild kiwis, and after picking a basket, she sold them to the system.

Wild kiwifruit of this size is not too expensive, only a dozen yuan per pound, but the kiwifruit production is high, and the kiwifruits this month are ripe.

In about an hour, Liu Yinyin sold hundreds of kilograms of wild kiwifruit to the system and earned more than a thousand yuan.

There were still a lot of kiwis on the tree. Liu Yinyin was not greedy. After picking a basket of wild kiwis, she carried the basket back to find the Liu brothers.

"Wow..."

Liu Yinyin was shocked. How long had she been away?

This piece of land has been dug up beyond recognition, with pits everywhere. Liu Yinyin almost couldn't find a place to stay!

Moreover, some of the pits were dug very deep, and at a glance, Liu Yinyin's head could not even be seen.

After shouting, I finally found the person.

The Liu brothers were busy digging the soil in a big pit. The root system of this wild yam tree was very deep, and there were a lot of yams underneath.

Liu Yinyin walked to the side and saw that they had already dug up a pile of wild yam, at least seventy or eighty kilograms.

"Brother...how long are you going to dig?" Liu Yinyin asked.

She had walked this route several times and didn't think it was dangerous.

But if it's dark, it's best not to stay in the mountains.

So, they had to hurry back before dark.

Liu Mingyuan looked up at her. Although he was very tired, he was full of energy. There were too many yams here.

Moreover, they seem to have dug up the king of yam...

Just the wild yam vine they are digging now has dozens of kilograms of yam underneath.

The excavation in other places has not been completed yet.

Liu Mingyuan wiped his sweat and said, "Little sister, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish digging today."

Liu Yinyin understood and said, "Then let's dig for another hour or so, then go back and come back tomorrow."

If we can’t finish digging today, we’ll have to continue tomorrow.

"Okay." Liu Mingyuan didn't dare to stay on the mountain for too long.

Liu Yinyin took a few wild kiwis from the basket and shared them with her brothers.
