Chapter 116 Buy One Get One Free Surprise

They had already given up hope. Although Li Qingman and Song Zhixi didn't say anything, they thought in their hearts that there would be no cassava on the island.

Who would have expected that when the two dragged their exhausted bodies back to the cave, they accidentally bumped into a suspected cassava tree.

This discovery made the two women who had returned from their disappointment become danced and excited in an instant.

The two scrambled to get to the tree, eager to confirm whether this one was a cassava tree.

"Is this it?"

Li Qingman looked expectantly at Song Zhixi beside him.

"I'm not sure, after all, I haven't seen what real cassava looks like, but give it a try."

Song Zhixi observed the tree from top to bottom. From the leaves, flowers, and fruits to every part, it was very similar to what he had seen in the picture. It seemed that he could not be wrong. In order to verify whether it was cassava, Just dig the soil under the tree to find out.

Cassava's lumpy roots usually grow in very shallow soil and are easy to dig up.

Unable to wait, the two began digging the soil with their hands, digging through the soil layer on the surface, and soon dug out the hard lumpy roots inside.

Song Zhixi showed a look of surprise on his face, and laughed loudly: "It seems to be, this is cassava!"

"Really? Great!!"

Hearing that this is real cassava, Li Qingman grinned without hesitation about his image.

Who would have thought that at the end of the day, the two discovered the wild cassava on this island without any hope.

With the discovery of cassava, all the negative emotions just now disappeared without a trace, and now Li Qingman and Song Zhixi only have one thing in their heads, which is to dig out the cassava desperately.

The two used all four hands together, with full firepower, and broke a piece of cassava out of the soil in a short while.

That piece of cassava was about as thick as a calf, and as long as Li Qingman's arm. It had a layer of skin wrapped in mud on the surface, and it looked dirty.

The snow-white flesh of cassava can be seen at the disconnected place. This milk-like cassava meat makes Li Qingman and Song Zhixi swallow their mouths.

It's a pity that raw cassava will be poisoned, otherwise Li Qingman and Song Zhixi would like to eat two bites now.

"Are these enough?"

Song Zhixi looked at the cassava that was thrown on the ground, and couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. He thought that such a big cassava was enough for three people to have a good meal.

"Not enough, not enough, these are enough for the equation alone, we have to dig some more."

Li Qingman shook her head. She knew the appetite of Equation best. Although Equation was not physically strong, she did physical work on the island every day, so she had a very large appetite.After being starved for a whole day like him, his stomach is already empty, even an arm-long cassava can still be eaten.

In order to collect more cassava, Li Qingman and Song Zhixi continued digging vigorously in the soil with their hands, and continued to dig down along the place where the root of the tree was broken just now, and dug out two more pieces of cassava one after another.

After about half an hour, the two women dug out three pieces of cassava with their hands.

Looking at the harvest on the ground, Li Qingman and Song Zhixi met each other's eyes, and suddenly laughed happily together.

With cassava, at least today's dinner is settled, and I no longer have to worry about going hungry tonight.

"It's getting late, let's go." Li Qingman carried the largest piece of cassava on his shoulder.

"Well, let's go."

Song Zhixi was about to bend down to pick up the other two pieces of cassava, when he suddenly saw some shield-shaped green leaves under the nearby hillside, which looked like taro leaves.

There are taro leaves on the island, are they all wild?Seeing these taro-like plants, Song Zhixi's attention was immediately attracted.

"Ji-hee, what's wrong?"

Li Qingman noticed that Song Zhixi's eyes were a little frozen, and he didn't know what she saw.

Song Zhixi raised his brows with joy, his lips quivered slightly, and said excitedly: "Qingman, look at the front, it seems to be a taro!"

"Taro?!"

Li Qingman looked in the direction Song Zhixi indicated, and sure enough, he saw a plant that looked like a taro leaf at the foot of the nearby hillside.

"This is not true, is it!"

At that moment, Li Qingman was stunned, and the cassava on his shoulder fell off.

It is said that misfortunes never come singly, but today Li Qingman and Song Zhixi are lucky, and they can't stop the good luck. They just found cassava on their forefoot, and then found a plant that looks like taro.

Before the two women recovered from the excitement of discovering cassava, they were about to fall into the carnival of discovering taro.

"There's no real taro on this island, is there?" Li Qingman held his face, still feeling unbelievable.

"It's not impossible. Like cassava, taro is a plant widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Since there is wild cassava on this island, there is a high possibility of wild taro." Song Zhixi said.

Li Qingman, who was still worrying about carbohydrate food, suddenly didn't know how to describe his mood. Did he open the bottle cap and found "one more bottle" printed inside?
Anyway, that’s pretty much the feeling. I just wanted to find cassava, but now I found not only cassava, but also taro.

"What if it's just that the leaves look alike." Li Qingman still felt that happiness came too suddenly, and he still couldn't believe it.

Song Zhixi shook his head and said, "There is a high probability that this is a wild taro. Taro likes a high temperature and humid environment. The most common thing is to grow in a shady and humid place. Look at the bottom of this hillside, which is the most suitable place for taro to grow."

Li Qingman was eager to try, and said: "Then let's dig and see?"

Song Zhixi was already ready, nodded and said, "Well, dig it out and have a look."

The two happy women didn't pay attention at all, they still started digging directly, and quickly dug out the bulbs hidden in the soil.

"This seems to be really taro!"

Song Zhixi was holding the round and black bulb, with indescribable joy on his face.

Li Qingman was so happy from ear to ear, she never thought that she could still find wild taro on the island.

"Cassava and taro are high-carbohydrate foods, which can replenish the carbohydrates in our body in time." Song Zhixi couldn't be happier. With these two treasures, he no longer has to worry about carbohydrate intake when living on the island.

Li Qingman was so excited that he didn't know how to express his inner joy, so he could only hug Song Zhixi tightly, and kept saying, "Great, great, we have staple food..."

Excited, Song Zhixi said: "We have to make a mark so that we can find it here in the future."

"Hmm." Li Qingman nodded like a woodpecker.
