The villagers had just witnessed with their own eyes the miserable state of Yun Jingmo and his children.

Everyone thought that the thing they touched must be poisonous, and Yun Jingmo and the others were poisoned.

When they heard Yun Fuling say that it was something delicious and edible, they were all surprised and couldn't believe it.

Manager Hang and Ding Mingrui also came over after hearing the news.

After all, they are doctors with kind hearts. When they heard that a child was in trouble, they came to see if they could help.

Both of them were squatting in front of the yams at this time.

Shopkeeper Hang even wrapped his hands with a handkerchief and picked up a yam to take a closer look.

After a while, he asked Yun Fuling uncertainly: "Could this be Dioscorea?"

Yun Fuling nodded, "Yes, it is Dioscorea."

"It is said in the Shennong's Herbal Classic that yam can cure injuries, replenish deficiency, remove cold and heat evil spirits, replenish qi and strength, grow muscles, and long-term consumption can improve hearing and eyesight."

"This yam is also known as Yuyan, which means its root is as white as jade, but some people also call it yam, which means mountain herb."

In Yun Fuling's previous life, yam could already be grown on a large scale and was a common ingredient on every household's table.

Unexpectedly, in this time and space, not many people seem to know about it.

Yun Fuling understood after thinking about it for a moment.

At that time, few people would grow herbs, and they were basically all wild. Special herbalists picked them in the wild and sent them to herbal shops for sale.

The same is true for yams, except that they are more regional and less common.

In addition, yam contains saponins and alkaloids, which can cause symptoms such as itching after skin contact.

The common people do not know the answer to this, and even if they discover it they will think it is poison and avoid it.

Therefore, even fewer people know about yam.

In Yun Fuling's previous life, yam became gradually known only after the Northern Song Dynasty.

Shopkeeper Hang said, "I have a medical book at home that contains records about yam."

"It's just that this yam grows in the wild and is not common. Our pharmacy only receives it occasionally."

If not for this, Shopkeeper Hang would not have recognized that this was Dioscorea.

Ding Mingrui was the one I didn't recognize at all.

Looking at Yun Fuling and Manager Hang who had gathered together to discuss something, Ding Mingrui suddenly felt that he was being excluded.

I'm so angry!

But who made him so ignorant?

Ding Mingrui finally put down his arrogance. These two people seemed to be a little bit better than him.

He squatted aside with his ears pricked up, eavesdropping openly and studying diligently.

The villagers were skeptical when they heard Yun Fuling say that yam was a good thing, but now when they heard Manager Hang say the same thing, they immediately believed that it was really a good thing.

The villagers gathered around and looked at the yams as if they were looking at something special.

Yun Fuling couldn't help but feel greedy when she thought of the various delicacies made with yam.

"This is a good thing that can be used as both medicine and food!"

A villager asked, "Mrs. Yun, what does it mean that medicine and food have the same origin?"

Yun Fuling explained: "This yam can not only be used as medicine to treat diseases, but can also be eaten directly as food."

"You can use yam to make yam cake, and you can also stew it with chicken as a medicinal meal to replenish qi and nourish the spleen."

"Or you can simply boil it in water or steam it."

When the villagers heard that yam had so many benefits, their eyes lit up.

Some villagers have even started digging around.

Some smart people thought that since this thing was medicine, it would definitely be sold in the pharmacy.

If they dig more, not only can they eat it themselves, but they can also make some money by selling it to pharmacies.

Someone even secretly went to find Shopkeeper Hang to ask about the price.

When they learned that Ping An Hall was selling yam for 80 cents per pound, everyone became even more crazy.

Nowadays, fat meat is only 15 cents per pound. The money from selling one pound of yam can buy more than five pounds of fat meat.

Now no one even had time to eat lunch. The whole family, young and old, joined in digging yams on the hillside.

At the beginning, some people even fought over it.

But Yun Fuling took a look and found that the hillside was almost covered with yam, enough for everyone to dig.

After hearing this, everyone stopped fighting over it.

Moreover, they still had to travel quickly, and each person could only carry a limited amount of things.

No matter how much yam you dig, it will be in vain if you can't carry it.

Yun Fuling doesn't have such worries.

She has her own space!

Since we have come across such a large piece of yam, the more the better.

She can put anything she can't take into the space, which can be used not only as food reserve but also as food for later on the road.

She could also plant a batch in the space medicine field first. After she settled down, she would use these yams as seeds, buy a few plots of land in reality to plant them, and then sell them to pharmacies and restaurants.

In Yun Fuling's eyes, the yam is no longer a yam, but pure silver.

For a time, almost all the villagers came to the hillside to dig yam.

Even Shopkeeper Hang and Ding Mingrui thought it was a rare sight to come across yam, so they started digging them themselves.

While digging, Yun Fuling reminded everyone that yam skin can cause itching, so it is best to wrap your hands with something when touching yam.

If you accidentally touch the yam skin and feel itchy, wash your hands with hot water or warm them over the fire to relieve the itching.

There was a bustling scene on this side of the hill, while the camp seemed a bit empty.

Yun Shanhu looked at the camp with only a few people left and said to the guard beside him, "Go and see what happened over there?"

The guard immediately responded and left.

Yun Shanhu had heard the crying of a child before, but the weather was too hot at the moment and she was too lazy to move, so she hid in the shade to rest and did not go to watch the fun.

Unexpectedly, not long after, villagers came back one after another, called the master and left again.

Those who came back were all in high spirits, as if something great had happened to them.

Soon, most of the people in the camp had left.

Yun Shanhu discovered that Ding Mingrui had never returned since he ran out after hearing the crying child.

She was in a state of confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Yun Shanhu stood on tiptoe and looked towards the hill, feeling annoyed.

She picked up the fan and fanned herself a few times, then looked up at the scorching sun.

"What the hell is this weather? It's too hot!"

After waiting for a while, the guard came back.

"Miss Third, yam was found on the hillside over there, and everyone is digging for yam over there now."

Although Shopkeeper Hang called it Dioscorea, the villagers still prefer to follow Madam Yun and call it yam, as they think it is simple and easy to remember.

Yun Shanhu frowned: "Yam? What yam?"

The guard explained: "I heard that it was Madam Yun's son who first discovered it. Madam Yun said that the yam can not only be used as medicine, but also as food to satisfy hunger."

"So now all the villagers are going to dig yams."

"My cousin is digging there with his men."
