Seeing Chen Yang so confident, the netizens became interested.
"Isn't this speaking too soon? You haven't even dug yet. What if you can't find anything later? Won't you be slapping your own face?"
"I just want to know, how are you so sure?"
"This soil doesn't look any different from other places. I don't see any difference."
"I bet you, if there really are winter bamboo shoots under here, I'll send a rocket!"
"I'll bet 300 fish balls!"
"I bet 10 rockets. If there's nothing, Chen Ye will have to dance with Big Black. How about it? Does Chen Ye dare to bet?"
"Pfft~ Dance with Big Black? Are you the devil or something?"
Chen Yang laughed, "Alright, if there's nothing, I'll dance with Big Black."
"But I'm afraid you won't get the chance to see that."
He was too familiar with the growing environment of winter bamboo shoots.
Every year, during this season, the whole village would go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots.
Winter bamboo shoots are bought at a high price, while spring bamboo shoots are much cheaper.
At that time, Chen Yang would follow the villagers, and over time, he became so skilled that he could find 9 out of 10 shoots.
Without further ado, he picked up his hoe and started digging.
The netizens watched closely.
"Damn!"
"I see the shoot tip!"
"It's so green, there really are winter bamboo shoots!"
After a few digs, a cluster of tender green bamboo shoot tips emerged from the soil.
The netizens were shocked.
He really dug it out.
And it was exactly where he said it would be.
Simply magical.
Especially many people who grew up in cities, seeing this, couldn't believe it.
"I've already seen the shoot tip."
Chen Yang smiled and continued digging.
"If this is your first time digging, even if you find winter bamboo shoots, it's hard to dig them out quickly."
"Because winter bamboo shoots are different from spring bamboo shoots. Spring bamboo shoots stick out of the ground, some even half their body is above the soil. You can just lightly dig and pull them out.
But winter bamboo shoots are completely buried underground."
"A bigger winter bamboo shoot can even be as long as your arm."
"So, you first dig around the top of the winter bamboo shoot, remove the surrounding soil, then swing the hoe with force to cut off the bamboo shoot's roots, and finally use the hoe to pry it up."
Saying that, Chen Yang swung the hoe with force, accurately cutting the roots of the winter bamboo shoot.
With a powerful pry, the winter bamboo shoot was pulled out of the soil.
The whole process took only a few seconds.
The viewers watched, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
Chen Yang held up the winter bamboo shoot, shaking it in front of the camera and said: "Look, by doing it like this, I can dig up a winter bamboo shoot intact. Isn't it simple?"
"God, it's so simple!"
"Looks easy, but once I try, I'll be hopeless!"
"Damn, Chen Ye, can you really see through the soil? How did you find it?"
"I really want to know, how the heck did Chen Ye find it."
"Seriously suspecting that these winter bamboo shoots were planted in advance."
[Let's Eat Chicken] sent 1 rocket! And left a message: "Bet's off, I'll admit defeat."
[Little Trickster] sent 10 rockets! And left a message: "Bet's off, I'll admit defeat."
A group of netizens who had bet earlier all started sending gifts.
There was nothing they could do, they had lost and didn't deny it.
Chen Yang tossed the winter bamboo shoot aside and continued digging: "Winter bamboo shoots are usually in clusters. A cluster usually has two or three, at least. Of course, there are also places where there's only one."
"But I think, there should be more than one under here."
"Finding other winter bamboo shoots is easy. Look at this, can you see it?"
Chen Yang used the hoe to dig away the soil next to him, revealing a bamboo joint lying horizontally in the ground.
The bamboo joint was a bit dark, about 10 cm thick.
"This is called a bamboo whip. If you continue following the bamboo whip, there's a good chance you can find another winter bamboo shoot hidden somewhere else."
"Yo, found it."
Just two seconds after saying that, Chen Yang found the second winter bamboo shoot.
The screen was filled with excitement.
"Watching the streamer dig bamboo shoots looks so easy."
"He really found a second one."
"Damn, this winter bamboo shoot is huge."
"Watching Chen Ye dig bamboo shoots is a real pleasure. His moves are really skilled, looks like he does this kind of work often."
Chen Yang easily dug up the second winter bamboo shoot.
"Alright, now let me teach everyone how to find those winter bamboo shoots that haven't sprouted yet in a bamboo forest."
As soon as Chen Yang said this, the viewers became fully focused on the screen.
"Get your pens ready, this is going to be on the test!"
"I've already bought my hoe, now where can I dig for bamboo shoots?"
"My colleague asked me what I'm watching. I told him I'm watching someone play with mud. He asked what's so interesting… Now, he's watching Chen Ye play with mud with me."
Chen Yang, holding the hoe, walked along while observing the ground.
"Here."
He stopped and crouched down, pointing at a patch of soil.
"Look closely, the soil here is looser than the soil next to it. And there's a slight bump, although it's not very obvious, you need to observe carefully to notice it."
"This is the first step in judging. Basically, once you find a place like this, there's a very high chance you'll find a winter bamboo shoot underneath."
"The principle is simple. Winter bamboo shoots grow upward continuously. As they push upward, the soil above them becomes loose, and the surface gets slightly raised."
"Now, let me dig here and see if there's a winter bamboo shoot hidden underneath."
Chen Yang said this and started digging.
After a few swings of the hoe, sure enough, there was a winter bamboo shoot underneath.
"Got it, got it."
"Who would've thought, I'm actually learning new things in a live stream?"
"Strange knowledge increase, truly strange. Turns out this knowledge is useless to me ."
"Before, I came here to watch pretty girls dance, watch them talk dirty. Who would've thought now, I'm actually watching a big guy play with mud? And I'm watching it with great interest!"
In just this short time, the number of viewers in the live stream had already exceeded 7,000.
And this was still early in the morning.
When Chen Yang had dug up a pile of winter bamboo shoots, the number of viewers had reached over 30,000.
"I'm done, with this many bamboo shoots, it'll last me for half a month."
The pile of bamboo shoots on the ground looked like a small mountain.
"Hey… Chen Ye, did you forget something?"
"Forgot to bring a bag ."
"Blind person, you found the key point! "
"Pfft~ Haha, Chen Ye didn't bring a bag, all these bamboo shoots are useless."
"Finally, seeing Chen Ye get caught out. Mom asks why I'm laughing like a 200-pound person."
Chen Yang wiped the sweat off his forehead, laughing: "I did forget to bring one, but it's alright. There are so many bamboo shoots here, I can just make a bamboo basket on the spot."
Netizens: "???"
