She was slightly stunned, then her mind raced, and after a moment's thought, she smiled and replied, "Actually, I also happened to see the introduction of this yam in my husband's book. The book said that this yam is sweet and delicious, and tastes quite good.
I was walking along the road just now and saw this vine. It looked very familiar. After thinking carefully, I realized it was a yam vine. There might be more around here. You can also look carefully around. You may find something like me.
After her vivid explanation, everyone immediately became alert, and their original puzzled expressions were instantly replaced by anticipation.
Without saying a word, everyone began to search carefully in the surrounding grass, under the trees, and on the roadside.
Everyone's eyes were like sharp eagle eyes, not missing any corner where yam might be hidden.
Sure enough, after a while, someone nearby excitedly shouted, "Hey! There are yam here too!"
When the others heard this, they all gathered around and looked at the newly discovered sweet potato with smiles of surprise on their faces.
Yao Qingshuang was delighted to see that everyone had made new discoveries.
She hurriedly called the Su family and asked everyone to work together to continue digging the yam in the field.
Everyone was digging the soil with great enthusiasm, holding hoes, sticks and other tools in their hands. The scene was very lively, with bursts of laughter coming from time to time.
At the front of the team, the village chief was frowning, thinking worriedly about the difficulties everyone was facing.
The journey was not easy, and the food that everyone brought with them was almost gone after being consumed over this period of time.
Seeing that there is still a long way to go, what should we do if there is not enough food?
The village chief felt like a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, and he was so worried that he kept sighing.
Just as the village chief was immersed in this melancholy, suddenly, a loud noise came from behind.
Immediately afterwards, someone came running over and told him that it was Old Lady Yao who had found the food!
When the village chief heard this, a surprised smile instantly appeared on his gloomy face.
He secretly thought in his heart, Wencheng's mother is really blessed!
Back then, when the team was struggling to move forward in the wilderness and their throats were smoking with thirst, she was the first to find a source of water, solving everyone's urgent need; later, she was so lucky to discover the extremely precious ginseng, which really brought everyone a big surprise; now, they have found food that can fill their stomachs, isn't this the lucky star of Sujia Village!
The more the village chief thought about it, the more excited he became, and the smile on his face became brighter. He hurriedly took big steps and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
After a while, I saw people gathered together, and the yam that had just been dug out of the soil, with the fresh smell of soil.
The village chief's eyes were immediately fixed on the yam, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.
He walked a few steps to Yao Qingshuang and asked with a smile on his face, "Mother Wencheng, is this yam?"
Seeing the village chief coming, Yao Qingshuang nodded with a smile on her face and said enthusiastically, "Village chief, yes, this is yam. It tastes really good, you can try it."
As she spoke, she reached out and picked up a sweet potato and handed it to the village chief.
Seeing this, the village chief was so excited that his hands trembled slightly. He quickly reached out to take the yam as if he had taken an extremely precious treasure.
Then, he looked at Yao Qingshuang with some confusion and asked, "Mother Wencheng, how do you eat this yam? I've never seen this thing before."
Yao Qingshuang smiled and patiently explained, "Village Chief, you can just peel the skin of this sweet potato and eat it. It's very simple."
After hearing this, the village chief nodded hurriedly, and then began to peel the sweet potato carefully.
He looked so focused, as if he was performing an extremely important ceremony.
After finally peeling the skin clean, the village chief couldn't wait to open his mouth and take a bite of the sweet potato eagerly.
The moment he took a bite, the village chief was shocked by the taste of the yam.
The yam is crispy, tender and juicy. The moment the tender flesh is bitten open, the juice overflows, filling the mouth with a sweet and refreshing taste.
What's more, it has a crunchy sound when you bite it, and the crisp sound echoes in your ears, which is very pleasant, and the taste is so good.
The village chief's eyes lit up immediately, his face full of surprise and satisfaction, and he kept muttering, "Oh, this yam is so delicious!"
The village chief held the half-eaten yam tightly in his hand. The bitten part of the yam still looked fresh and juicy, and exuded a sweet aroma.
His face was full of excitement and his steps were fast, as if he was holding great news. He couldn't wait to run back to the front of the team.
As soon as he reached the crowd, the village chief opened his voice and shouted at everyone with all his strength: "Listen to me, everyone, Wencheng's mother has discovered yam! This is a good thing to eat, and it tastes so good. Come and dig some together. If you dig up more and take it back, we won't have to worry about having no food!"
His voice echoed in the mountains and forests, full of excitement and joy, and his expression was as if he had discovered a mountain of gold and silver full of treasures.
When everyone heard what the village chief said, their expressions of fatigue and worry due to food shortage disappeared instantly, and they immediately became energetic.
Everyone's eyes lit up and their faces were filled with eager anticipation. Without saying a word, they all ran in the direction the village chief pointed.
The sound of running footsteps echoed one after another in the mountains and forests, as if playing a cheerful melody.
After a while, everyone ran to the place.
I saw Old Lady Yao and her family squatting steadily beside a lush vine. The vine swayed gently in the breeze, as if showing their presence to people.
Old Mrs. Yao's face was full of smiles, and her eyes showed the satisfaction of harvest.
Beside her, there was a pile of yam that had just been dug out of the soil. They were still covered with fresh soil, like little babies wrapped in mud.
Everyone quickly gathered around Old Lady Yao and started asking questions.
Someone anxiously asked, "Mrs. Yao, what does this sweet potato look like? We've never seen it before. Don't make the mistake and dig up the wrong thing."
Someone else scratched his head and said in confusion, "Yeah, Mrs. Yao, how do we dig this? We have no experience."
Seeing everyone's eager yet confused expressions, Yao Qingshuang patiently stood up and pointed to a nearby vine, explaining in detail: "Look, the leaves of this sweet potato are like this: long, a bit heart-shaped, with slightly serrated edges. Just follow the vine to find its roots, and then dig down along the roots. However, everyone must be careful when digging, and it's best not to damage the sweet potato, otherwise it will spoil easily."
As she spoke, she gestured so that everyone could understand more clearly.
