Chapter 86 The Essence of the Sun and the Moon, the Spirit of Heaven and Earth
Digging yams is really not a job for ordinary people. Wang Xiaoshan rested for 15 minutes and continued to dig.
The deeper you go, the harder it becomes to dig. The soil is pressed hard and becomes more viscous, causing Wang Xiaoshan's digging progress to slow down a lot.
Wang Xiaoshan used an engineering shovel. To dig deeper, he had to dig a bigger hole. Otherwise, he couldn't even turn around. He had to dig deeper and carry soil out from time to time.
The pit was too deep and Wang Xiaoshan could no longer throw the soil out with an engineering shovel. He could only transport the soil to the tunnel and throw it out, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
After digging for more than an hour, Wang Xiaoshan came out of the pit again. He had to slow down because digging alone would be fatal.
The audience in the live broadcast room cannot see the situation in the pit. They can only see Wang Xiaoshan occasionally popping up, and from time to time some dirt will be thrown out of the pit.
After Wang Xiaoshan came out, he showed the audience the situation in the pit. At first glance, it was no different from that of a tomb robber. Moreover, the tunnel was as wide as one person, and the innermost area of the tunnel was a square.
"Have a break. This is the result of more than 2 hours of digging, but not all the yams have been dug out yet."
[Professional diggers are different!]
[Old Wang, I even suspect that you used to be a tomb robber!]
[When you meet Lao Wang, this wild yam may end up as a meal on your plate!]
[Be careful of landslides, it’s not worth it to eat just one bite, bury it quickly, and soon a rich man will want to buy it, my little heart can’t stand it!]
"It's worth digging for a bite of wild yam. Wild yam contains natural DHEA. It also contains protein, amino acids, cellulose, fat, vitamins, minerals and other substances that are beneficial to the human body."
"It also has the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach, aiding digestion, nourishing the kidneys and replenishing essence, lowering blood sugar, and prolonging life. It has been a good nutritional tonic since ancient times."
"Wild yam harvests the essence of the sun and the moon, and also absorbs the aura of the mountains and rivers, so the nutritional and medicinal value of wild yam is very high."
"Yam is also called white ginseng. If you can't buy wild yam, it's good to eat artificially grown ones."
[I will eat a whole meal of yam tonight. There are so many benefits, I must eat it!]
[On the way to the tribulation of Wild Yam, he was accidentally discovered by Lao Wang, causing his ascension to fail.]
[Now let’s stew the chicken with whole yam and watch Lao Wang digging it while eating!]
[Old Wang, your mountain must have absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and the aura of the mountains and rivers, otherwise how could you have dug so many nourishing wild vegetables!]
Wang Xiaoshan rested for a while and replenished his energy before starting to dig again. He didn't know how deep he would have to dig now, but he had to dig quickly and dig it out before dark.
It was a race against time. Wang Xiaoshan dug even harder and would not stop until it was dug out. He dug for another three hours before he found the other end of the yam buried deep in the ground.
After that, Wang Xiaoshan was not in a hurry to take out the yams. He needed to rest for a while and then take it out completely from the pit.
Although one side of the yam has been fully exposed, you need to be extra careful at this time, otherwise it may be broken.
After resting, Wang Xiaoshan went down to the pit and carefully removed the soil wrapped around the yam. Finally, he carefully took out the 5-meter-long yam from the soil and placed it on the tunnel.
Wang Xiaoshan did not rush to take out the pit, mainly because he was afraid that the yam would break if he used too much force. Although the place where the yam was buried deep in the soil was very thick, such a long yam would still break if you were not careful.
The thickest part of this yam buried deep in the soil is thickest, and the part closer to the ground becomes thinner. The thickest part of the yam is as thick as an adult male's thigh, and the middle part is as thick as an arm.
After placing the yams, Wang Xiaoshan went to look for tools near the pit. He needed to find some long and strong branches to make a splint for the yams to prevent them from breaking suddenly.
After Wang Xiaoshan found the branches, he also found some strong vines nearby, which he later used as ropes. After making preparations, Wang Xiaoshan moved all the tools into the pit and began to strengthen the yams.
Fortunately, the yam was relatively straight and not crooked, so it was easier to fix. After working for more than 40 minutes, Wang Xiaoshan finally took the yam out of the pit.
After moving out, Wang Xiaoshan hurriedly started to fill the hole. It took a lot of effort to dig the hole, but the filling speed was very fast. After a while, he filled the hole. After finishing his work, he told the audience in the live broadcast room. p>
"This is the wild yam that I dug out with great effort. It looks about 5 meters long."
[It’s amazing that there are such long yams!]
[The wild environment is so poor, but it can grow so big. It feels like this wild yam is a hundred years old!]
[This thing already has a fairy spirit, will it make you immortal if you eat it?]
[The best thing to do is replenish your body. If you had any fairy energy, you would have gone to hide in the mountains and forests!]
"I don't know if I can ascend or live forever, but now I have to go down the mountain. It's not safe for my body to stay in the woods after dark."
In front of nature, there are countless possibilities. What we think is strange may be just an insignificant point in the entire nature.
It was not easy to carry something over 5 meters long down the mountain. Wang Xiaoshan was afraid that the yam would be broken by the branches, so he had to walk down the mountain carefully.
The speed of going down the mountain was almost as slow as when going up the mountain. By the time Wang Xiaoshan reached the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark. However, darkness also has the advantage of being dark. Carrying yams would not be so conspicuous in the dark.
However, upon entering the village, some people noticed that Wang Xiaoshan was carrying a long thing.
Wang Xiaoshan hurriedly carried the yam and went home, fearing that the uncles and aunties would come around and accidentally break it, which would result in a huge loss.
Carrying yams, Wang Xiaoshan couldn't even open the door, so he could only call his grandparents at the door. Fortunately, the two elders were enjoying the cool air in the yard. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a gray-faced Wang Xiaoshan standing at the door.
Wang Xiaoshan entered the yard and slowly put the yam on the ground. After putting it down, Wang Xiaoshan also sat on the ground and finally landed safely. It was not easy.
Wang Xiaoshan now wants to lie down on the ground and take a nap. He is too tired. He has been digging soil all afternoon and now his whole body is sore.
As soon as grandma saw that Wang Xiaoshan was back, she went to cook for him first. She felt heartbroken when she saw her gray-faced grandson. It seemed that she was very tired today.
The lights in the yard were not very bright. Grandpa looked at the yam on the ground for a long time, but he could not tell whether it was a yam. The length was beyond the range of ordinary yam.
Wang Xiaoshan got up from the ground after resting for a while, saw his grandfather looking at the yams, and then said: "It took me a whole afternoon to dig out the yams I dug in the mountains this afternoon!"
Grandpa was surprised and said: "You have dug a century-old yam king!"
Wang Xiaoshan was now covered in dirt and smelly sweat. After telling his grandfather, he went to take a shower.
