My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Chapter 200 I'm Not a Garbage-Hunting System

The bamboo forest was much larger than Yang Fenglan had imagined.

Upon entering the bamboo forest, he instructed Long Aotian, "Master Long, quick, use your divine radar to scan the area. Are there any bamboo shoots underground?"

Why would I need bamboo shoots? They're worthless. I'm a treasure hunting system, not a garbage-hunting system.

"I……"

Yang Fenglan suppressed the urge to curse, "For ordinary people who lack food, bamboo shoots are our treasure. Please, Lord Long, you're the best."

Having been praised, Long Aotian then began his search with a touch of arrogance.

【Here, here!】

Yang Fenglan rushed over and saw that the soil in the spot Long Aotian was pointing to was somewhat loose.

She'd seen videos where bamboo shoots were usually displayed at the bottom.

With Long Aotian's precise detection, Yang Fenglan easily dug up a plump bamboo shoot.

As expected of a remote mountain forest, despite a drought lasting more than half a year, there is still a harvest.

If the spring rains come next year, won't we get tired of eating bamboo shoots?

Xiao Yuanshan quickly cut down a bamboo stalk that was neither too big nor too small.

He was somewhat incredulous when he saw that Yang Fenglan had actually dug up bamboo shoots.

He had known this bamboo grove for many years and had picked bamboo shoots here before, but since it hadn't rained this year, he thought no bamboo shoots would grow.

"You actually managed to dig it up."

"Hehe, just trying my luck." Yang Fenglan tossed the bamboo shoot into her basket and moved to another spot.

After gesturing on the ground for a while, he picked up a hoe and with a few strokes, he saw the bamboo shoots buried deep underground.

"I'll do it," Xiao Yuanshan said, taking the hoe.

Men are stronger, so digging bamboo shoots looked much easier for them than for Yang Fenglan.

Yang Fenglan told him to dig, and she continued to follow Long Aotian to find bamboo shoots. When they found a spot, they used bamboo branches that Xiao Yuanshan had cut down to stick it there.

After Xiao Yuanshan finished digging in that spot, he moved on to another place to dig.

In half an hour, the small basket was full.

At first, Xiao Yuanshan really thought that Yang Fenglan had found it by chance, because he could see the cracked soil.

But gradually, I realized that wasn't the case.

There were several bamboo shoots, covered with bamboo leaves, and the soil hadn't cracked, leading Xiao Yuanshan to suspect there were no bamboo shoots at all.

But Yang Fenglan firmly said yes, and when he dug, there it was.

Is this really just luck?

He didn't believe it at all.

On the way back, Xiao Yuanshan carried bamboo shoots and a hoe, while Yang Fenglan carried a small bamboo pole and walked ahead.

An hour and a half had passed by the time they returned to the chestnut tree.

Zhou Jingyi and his group had picked all the chestnuts they could find, filling two baskets to the brim.

Upon seeing Yang Fenglan, Xu Yingying called out from afar, "Fenglan, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for your basket."

When she saw that the basket was full of bamboo shoots, she jumped up and down excitedly, "We really found bamboo shoots? Wow! Our Master Long is so lucky...we're so lucky."

"We'll have bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork for dinner." Yang Fenglan was very happy to finally get some fresh ingredients.

The basket couldn't hold them all, but there were still many chestnuts on the tree.

So Yang Fenglan told Zhou Jingyi and Xu Dazhu to carry the full baskets back first, and then come back when they were empty.

Xiao Yuanshan stayed behind, firstly because he could climb trees to pick chestnuts, and secondly because he could deal with any wild animals he might encounter.

Several women pulled the children away, while Xiao Yuanshan stood on a tree branch, holding a bamboo pole and hitting the branches hard.

Large, fluffy chestnuts fell like hailstones.

Everyone's face was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Xiao Yuanshan climbed down the tree before he had finished knocking down all the chestnuts.

Xiao Ning pointed at the tree and shouted, "Father, there's more!"

Xiao Yuanshan said gently, "Leave some for the squirrels, otherwise they will definitely target our food if they run out of food."

Yang Fenglan hadn't expected things to come to this, and her opinion of the man began to change somewhat.

The children rushed to pick up the chestnuts and piled them up.

With Xiao Yuanshan watching over the child, Yang Fenglan felt relieved and took Xu Yingying elsewhere.

Ask Long Aotian to help find any other wild vegetables nearby.
