Most of the bamboo shoots that sprout before winter solstice rot before spring, with only a few growing into bamboos; thus, digging for winter bamboo shoots won't harm the ecological balance of the bamboo forest.
With this in mind, Qiao Duo'er started digging without any burden.
With the hands-on experience from the morning, Qiao Duo'er's speed had greatly improved, but she was still far behind Tan Zhenghong.
Qiao Duo'er even suspected that Tan Zhenghong had X-ray vision; how else could he always dig in the right spot?
"Working also relies on experience; you've just started digging, so of course you're slow," he said.
Tan Zhenghong saw through Qiao Duo'er's thoughts at a glance. Now the more she thought, the more she seemed like a little woman—a good sign.
Suddenly, Qiao Duo had an idea, "It would be great if there were an animal that could find the bamboo shoots and even dig them out."
"Wild boars can. They have a keen nose but eat too much, so they aren't that useful."
