Chapter 209 Baked Potatoes

Lin Yan didn't speak, and urged Huang Ying to take her there quickly.

Huang Ying hurriedly went to find the discoverer Huang Ning.

It was discovered by Huang Ning. She and Huang Ying belonged to the same family, and they were also members of the military.

The thing was found not far away. Huang Ning led a few people and walked about 30 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. They are shiny under the light.

Lin Yan took a deep breath, walked to the nearest plant and squatted down, took out a shovel and started digging.

The others didn't know what she wanted to do, so Huang Ying asked, "Lin Yan, what is this? What are you digging for?"

Lin Yan brandished the shovel, and the soil flew up. Soon, he saw lumps buried in the ground. After she finished digging, she dug out more than a dozen.The big ones are as big as fists, and the small ones hang on the root system in a series.

Lan Yue knelt down and held it in her hand to look carefully, "Is this food edible?"

Lin Yan nodded and said happily: "This is a potato, also called potato or yam. It is high-yielding and easy to grow. It is an important food. The potatoes that have been dug out have not yet grown up, and they must be bigger when they mature."

"It's enough to taste it. When the potatoes grow up, we dig them out and take them back to save the seeds. If you eat them now, you won't have to eat them in the future."

Yuan Da stared at the fire, not wanting to leave.

Yuan Er looked at Lin Yan, then at the fire, hesitating.

It was soft and delicious, and Lin Yan was so touched that he was about to cry.She thought about this taste day and night, and finally got it in her mouth today.

Maybe it was too fragrant, Yuan Da and Yuan Er, who were resting, suddenly opened their eyes and came to the fire in the blink of an eye.

"That's right. The valley is full of potatoes, a large piece, and we'll dig them after we're done eating."

Huang Ying said with a smile: "No matter what the process is, the result is very good. With one sack, everyone can eat potatoes."

Maybe because of Lin Yan's hard work, Yuan Da and Yuan Er finally showed mercy and followed her away.

Half an hour later, Yuan Da returned with Lin Yan on his shoulders, and Yuan Er followed closely behind, carrying a sack full of it.

They brought enough linseed oil, and they could last for three or four months with little effort.But who would have thought that they met Yuan Da and Yuan Er on the way, since they ate fried meat and barbecue, their consumption of oil accelerated sharply, and they ran out of oil in half a month.

Thinking back to Yuanda and Yuaner digging the soil neatly, with one paw down, there was a small pit on the ground, and round potatoes were scattered all over the ground.

Due to Yuan Da and Yuan Er's toughness, she suppressed her eagerness to move, and couldn't bear it anymore at this moment, she dug out a few black eggs from the fire, grabbed one and began to peel it.

The fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, making people's heart itch. Everyone can't wait to taste it. It smells so good, it must be delicious.

He was not the only one who thought this way, with Yuan Da and Yuan Er's big appetites, such a small potato was not enough for them to eat.

Looking at the remaining six potatoes, Lin Yan endured it and said, "We'll dig them when they're ripe. We'll just dig one nest."

Looking at the people around him, Lin Yan assured him, "They won't eat it, they will keep it for us to eat when we come back."

"Yu Da, Yuan Er, if you want to eat potatoes, you have to know what potatoes look like. With your abilities, you will definitely be able to find more."

"Then let's try it." Huang Ying hurriedly knelt down to pick potatoes.

Finally, it was their turn when Yuan Da and Yuan Er had eaten enough and walked away.

Write down the location and make a conspicuous mark. The potatoes will mature after three months of growth, and they will dig again when they return.

"Oh, it's so fragrant, it's even more tormenting to smell it but not be able to eat it."

Lin Yan straightened his messy hair, and said without a word: "After running for five or six miles, in a mountain depression, there were potatoes. Yuan Da and Yuan Er went out, and I just picked potatoes and packed them in sacks. Fortunately, I took them with me when I left. A sack."

Taking a deep breath, Huang Ying said, "It's so fragrant, how long will it take to cook?"

It was an absolute mistake to do it under Yuan Da and Yuan Er's noses.

"I hope Lin Yan and the others can find more potatoes and let me have a taste."

"It's not enough." Lan Yue looked at the potatoes dug out from the hands of several people, not letting go of the big ones and the small ones.

After suffering for so long in the aroma of roasted potatoes, Lin Yan felt that if this continued, she would go grab it.

In a hurry, Lin Yan approached Yuan Da and Yuan Er, flattering him, "This is a potato. I'll take you to see what a potato looks like."

Huang Ying blinked her eyes, "Is this a surprise or not?" Before they tried everything they could to drive Yuan Da and Yuan Er, but today they succeeded.

When they left, Lan Xing put down his heart, "Don't surround yourself, we don't have any part."

A new kind of eating discovery, everyone gathered around the fire curiously, staring at the potatoes buried in the ashes, and the aroma of roasted potatoes wafted out after a while.

Huang Ying asked in surprise: "These are all potatoes, where did you find them?"

Lin Yan followed to pick up potatoes, and within ten minutes, a full sack of potatoes was filled.There was really no place to put them, and they couldn't bring them back, so they came back.

Lin Yan and Huang Ying looked at each other, seeing despair in each other's eyes.Why didn't I just think of it, find a place far away to bake potatoes.

"Hurry up, wait another 10 minutes."

Of course, Lin Yan knew that the potatoes he dug up were not enough, but for the sake of the future, he couldn't throw them all away.

Seeing that big man pushing everyone away, Lan Xing suddenly felt that they might not have their share of such delicious potatoes.

She had no doubt that Yuan Da and Yuan Er could dig out the whole piece of potato in the col if there were enough sacks.

Lin Yan continued to work hard, "The potatoes need to be baked for a while before they are cooked, and those few are not enough. If you want something delicious, come with me."

Lin Yan nodded with a smile, "Let's go, let's go bake potatoes and boil water in an iron pot. Boiled potatoes are also delicious. It's a pity that there is no oil, and fried potatoes are also good."

It was so hot that she tossed her left and right hands back and forth, but she couldn't bear to throw away the black balls in her hands.

The scorched skin was peeled away to reveal the clear and soft inside. The fragrance became even more overbearing. When I bit it down, my hot tongue hurt.

After repeated persuasion, Yuan Da and Yuan Er remained indifferent, Lin Yan gritted his teeth, and pulled one with each hand, pulling them away with all his might.

It had been an hour since they ate the potatoes, and Lin Yan and the others were swallowing their saliva as they watched Yuan Da and Yuan Er eating with great satisfaction.

Unlike Lin Yan's touch, it was the first time for the others to eat potatoes.It was different from anything they had eaten before, and they wished they could swallow the skin.

Everyone was busy stuffing food into their mouths, and no one had time to talk for a while.

There was only one bottom left of a sack of potatoes, and most of them went into Yuan Da and Yuan Er's stomachs, and they ate less than one-fifth of them.

It's delicious, and when we finished eating, we looked at each other and laughed loudly.

I was so busy eating that I didn't even care about the scorched potato skins. Everyone's faces were black, and their hands were as black as baked potatoes.
