Chapter 227: Digging Sweet Potatoes

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them left the Lingzhi house and headed for the sweet potato field.

Xuan Menglei came here yesterday and had already sighed at this sweet potato field, and the other three couldn't help but sigh today.

Xiang Yu knew that these lands were planted by the director team, but he didn't expect them to plant such a large area.

"Dig up, dig less, go back and study whether it is appropriate to make sweet potato flour or directly give sweet potatoes." Wang Shi took the lead in rolling up his sleeves and picking up the hoe to dry.

Xiang Yu followed, and Xuan Menglei followed behind Wang Shi, carrying a frame, ready to frame the sweet potatoes that Wang Shi dug up.

"No, a hoe goes down and digs it directly." Wang Shi was the first to do it, but he went down with a hoe and dug directly on the sweet potato.

The sweet potato came out, but it was stuck in the hoe.

"Hahaha...... No wonder the director team particularly emphasized the need for whole sweet potatoes, and they didn't want this kind of spoiled ones. Xiang Yu saw the sweet potato on Wang Shihoe's head and squatted directly on the ground with a smile.

"You have to find a way, otherwise this sweet potato will definitely be more damaged than good." Wang Shi laboriously took down the sweet potato stuck on the hoe, looked at the hoe and thought.

Xuan Menglei remembered that when she was digging sweet potatoes yesterday, she felt that the sweet potatoes were planted very strangely, obviously the sweet potato vines belonged to the skewers everywhere, but all the roots were on the soil stalks, and the sweet potatoes were the roots, so could the existence of these soil stalks be the trick to digging sweet potatoes.

Xuan Menglei picked up a part of the sweet potato vine, found a rhizome, and pushed the soil stalk hard.

Because he miscalculated the hardness of the soil stalk, he used too much force, and directly overturned the earthen ridge, not to mention, he was unstable and fell directly to the ground.

"Menglei!" Xiang Yu saw that Xuan Menglei was picking sweet potato vines, and when she looked at it again, Xuan Menglei was already lying on the ground.

"What's going on? How did you fall? Wang Shi was closest to Xuan Menglei at this time, so he went to help Xuan Menglei.

After Xuan Menglei got up, all the sweet potatoes pressed under her were exposed.

"Hahaha...... You can still drop these whole sweet potatoes after a fall, and no one is lucky. Wang Shi was very surprised to see the sweet potatoes on the ground, and the sweet potatoes stuck on the hoe as soon as he went down with his hoe, and Xuan Menglei fell and saw the sweet potatoes.

Although some of the exposed sweet potatoes are still buried in the soil, they come out with a light planing with a small hoe.

Xuan Menglei fell out of four or five sweet potatoes, and her small frame was half full at once.

"I saw that there was a ridge here, and I wanted to try to push it without pushing, but the result was ...... Hehe......" Xuan Menglei smiled awkwardly and tried to bring the topic to the ridge.

"Mound? Let me see. Wang Shi heard Xuan Menglei say that there was a ridge, so he also squatted down to study, and sure enough, he found the problem that Xuan Menglei found before, and tried to start with the ridge with a hoe, this time there is no need to dig, but directly use the hook to hook the ridge directly, and the sweet potato will naturally come out.

Although the sweet potatoes on the edge of the ridge will still be a little damaged when they touch the hoe, there is no situation where they are stuck on the hoe, and there are still a lot of sweet potatoes that push the ridge away.

"This is the wisdom of the working people, and those of us who have never been in the ground have to grope for everything."

Wang Shi sighed while teaching Xiang Yu and Chu Ji the method, and the three of them each groped their strength, and finally were able to get the sweet potato out of the soil smoothly.

And Xuan Menglei used the small frame she brought to transport sweet potatoes into the back basket that was placed aside.

The cooperation of several people was not bad, about an hour later, the big back basket was already filled with two back baskets, and the three people who were digging sweet potatoes also stopped digging, but helped Xuan Menglei to put the remaining sweet potatoes in the last back basket.

The three of them walked home happily, and at this time they completely forgot about the fact that they had planned to chop wood today.
