Lin Yan said nothing and urged Huang Ying to take her there quickly.
Huang Ying hurriedly found Huang Ning, the discoverer.
The thing was discovered by Huang Ning. She and Huang Ying were a family member and a member of the military. She gave it to Huang Ying and asked Lin Yan to identify it.
The thing was found not far away. Huang Ning led a few people and walked about thirty meters to the place.
Looking at the plants that are more than one meter high, the dark green leaves are as big as an adult's palm, and the stems are as thick as a thumb, exuding luster in the light.
Lin Yan took a deep breath, walked to the nearest tree, squatted down, took out a shovel and started digging a hole.
The others didn't know what she wanted to do. Huang Ying asked, "Lin Yan, what on earth is this? What are you digging for?"
Lin Yan waved the shovel, causing the soil to fly, and she soon saw the lumps buried in the ground. By the time she finished digging, she had dug out more than a dozen. The big ones are as big as fists, and a series of small ones hang from the roots.
Lan Yue knelt down and took it in her hand to look at it carefully, "Is this thing edible?"
Lin Yan nodded and said happily: "This is a potato, also called potato or potato. It is high-yielding and easy to grow. It is an important food. The dug potatoes have not grown up yet. They will be bigger when they mature."
"Then let's try it quickly." Huang Ying hurriedly knelt down to pick potatoes.
Looking at the remaining six potato plants, Lin Yan endured and said, "We'll dig them when they're mature. This one nest is enough for us."
"This is not enough." Lan Yue looked at the potatoes dug out by several people, including large and small potatoes.
"Just have a taste. When the potatoes grow up, we will dig them out and take them back to save seeds. If you eat them now, you won't have to eat them later."
Of course, Lin Yan knew that the potatoes he dug out were not enough, but for the sake of the future, he couldn't eat them all.
The location was noted and marked conspicuously. The potatoes would mature in three months, and they could dig them again when they returned.
A new discovery of eating. Everyone gathered around the fire curiously, staring at the potatoes buried in the ashes. After a while, the aroma of roasted potatoes wafted out.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Ying said, "It's so fragrant. How long will it take to bake it?"
"Almost, wait ten more minutes."
The aroma is getting stronger and stronger, making people feel itchy. Everyone can't wait to take a bite. It must be delicious if it smells so fragrant.
Maybe it was too fragrant, so the resting monkeys suddenly opened their eyes and reached the fire in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the big guy squeezing everyone away, Lanxing suddenly felt that they might not have a share of such fragrant potatoes.
He was not the only one to think so. With Yuan Da and Yuan Er's huge appetites, such small potatoes were not enough for them to eat.
Lin Yan and Huang Ying looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes. Why didn't I think of finding a place farther away to bake potatoes?
It would be an absolute mistake to do it under the eyes of Yuan Da and Yuu Er.
Out of desperation, Lin Yan approached Yuan Da and Yuan Er and said flatteringly, "This is a potato. I will take you to see what a potato looks like."
"Ape Da, Ape II, if you want to eat potatoes, you have to know what potatoes look like. With your ability, you will definitely be able to find more."
Yuanda stared at the fire, not wanting to leave.
Yuan Er looked at Lin Yan, then at the fire, hesitant.
Lin Yan kept up his efforts, "The potatoes need to be roasted for a while before they are ready. Those few are not enough to eat. If you want something delicious, come with me."
After looking at the people around him, Lin Yan assured: "They don't want to eat, they are all keeping it for us to come back to eat."
Despite constant persuasion, Yuan Da and Yuan Er remained indifferent. Lin Yan gritted his teeth and took one with each hand, pulling them away with all his strength.
Perhaps seeing Lin Yan working so hard, Yuan Da and Yuan Er finally showed mercy and followed her.
When they left, Lan Xing felt relieved and said, "Stop hanging around, it's not our fault."
"Oh, it's so fragrant. It's even more torturous to smell it but not be able to eat it."
"I hope Lin Yan and the others can find more potatoes and let me have a taste."
Half an hour later, Yuan Da came back with Lin Yan on his shoulders, followed closely by Yuan Er, carrying a full sack.
Huang Ying asked in surprise: "These are potatoes. Where did you find them?"
Lin Yan straightened his messy hair and said with difficulty: "I ran out for five or six miles and found a mountain valley full of potatoes. Yuan Da and Yuan Er went out, and I just followed them to pick up the potatoes and put them in sacks. Fortunately, I took them with me before I left. Got a sack."
Thinking back to Yuan Da and Yuan Er's neat digging of the soil, when they dug their paws down, there was a small pit on the ground, with round potatoes scattered all over the ground.
Lin Yan followed suit and picked up potatoes. Within ten minutes, a sack full of potatoes was filled. There was really no place to put them and they couldn't bring them back, so they came back.
She had no doubt that if they had enough sacks, Yuan Da and Yuan Er could dig out all the potatoes in the col.
Huang Ying smiled and said: "No matter how the process is, the result is very good. With one sack, everyone can eat potatoes."
"Yes. There are a lot of potatoes growing in that mountain col. There are a lot of potatoes. We can dig them out after we eat them."
Huang Ying blinked, "Can this be considered an unexpected surprise?" Before, they had been unable to drive Yuan Da and Yuan Er in every possible way, but today they succeeded.
Lin Yan smiled and nodded, "Let's go and roast the potatoes and boil the water in the iron pot. Boiled potatoes are delicious. Unfortunately, there is no oil. Fried potatoes are also good."
They brought enough hemp oil, and if they used it sparingly, they could last three or four months. But unexpectedly, they met Yuan Da and Yuan Er halfway. Since they ate fried meat and barbecue, their consumption of oil accelerated sharply, and they ran out of oil in half a month.
It was already an hour after they ate the potatoes. Lin Yan and the others kept swallowing as they watched Yuan Da and Yuan Er feel extremely satisfied.
Finally, when Yuan Da and Yuan Er had eaten enough and walked away, it was their turn.
In the smell of roasted potatoes, after suffering for so long, Lin Yan felt that if it continued like this, she would grab it.
Due to the toughness of Aru Dai and Aru Er, she suppressed her eagerness to move. At this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore. She dug out a few black eggs from the fire, grabbed one and started peeling it off.
It was so hot that she moved her left and right hands back and forth, but she couldn't bear to throw away the black balls in her hands.
The charred skin is peeled back to reveal the clear and soft interior. The aroma is even more overbearing. When you bite into it, your tongue is so hot that it hurts.
It was soft and fragrant, and Lin Yan was so moved that he almost cried. She thought about this taste day and night, and finally tasted it in her mouth today.
Unlike Lin Yan who was moved, this was the first time for everyone else to eat potatoes. It was different from anything they had eaten before, and they wished they could swallow it with the skin on.
Everyone was busy stuffing food into their mouths, and no one could talk for a while.
Only the bottom of the sack of potatoes was left, and most of it went into the stomachs of Yuan Da and Yuan Er. They ate less than one-fifth of what they ate.
It was delicious. When we finished eating, we looked at each other and laughed.
I was so busy eating that I didn't even notice the charred potato skins. Everyone's faces were black and their hands were as black as roasted potatoes.
