Now that the Spring Festival has just passed, it is still a cold season in the north, but in Qingshui Village, the footsteps of spring are already quietly approaching.

After a winter when the north wind blows, the originally green village is full of dead branches and leaves, and it looks bleak. Even the leaves that were still evergreen had become dry and dull, no longer bright and vibrant.

However, these scenes of decay disappeared without a trace as soon as the spring breeze arrived. Most of the fruit tree seedlings bought from Boss Li's nursery are four-year-old fruit tree seedlings.

These fruit trees, which had already reached a large scale, were nourished by Luo Tong's ability and adapted to the changes in the environment as quickly as possible. Some of the thicker peach trees have three or two pale red flower bones on their bare branches, and these scattered flowers dot the trees to remind people that spring is really coming.

In a bleak scene, these bright flowers and bones flow through people's hearts like a clear spring. The village, which had become a little numb and indifferent due to the winter, suddenly regained its vitality due to the blooming of peach blossoms, and became a gentle world again.

This is only the peach blossoms, some pear trees have also bloomed, and it can be said that the orchard of Luotong is the first place to know that spring is coming.

In the orchard, the tenacious grass is struggling, and they feel the call of spring. I want to break free from the darkness and shackles in front of me and accept the moisture of the sun and rain and dew.

In almost a few days, the orchard turned into a sea of green. And the protagonist of this ocean is the seemingly insignificant grass. Luo Tong couldn't help but marvel at the tenacious vitality of these grasses, the wildfire burned inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blew and reborn.

It's already March, and Luo Tong is starting to get busy. Before the Spring Festival, Luo Tong arranged a lot of plans, but because the time had not yet arrived, many plans could not be implemented. Now that spring has arrived, it's time to put it on the agenda. The small river she contracted before was actually a fish pond.

It's just that this fishpond is a little wider and a little longer. The seeds of the lotus flowers have been bought, and they are waiting to be planted in the river this year, so that they can enjoy the lotus flowers in summer, they can go boating on the lake, they can pick lotus pods in autumn, and they can dig lotus roots in winter.

There are many names for lotus flowers, such as water lucidum, water rue, zezhi, hibiscus, water danifer, water hibiscus, jade ring, June spring, June flower god, spirit grass, gentleman flower, narcissus and so on.

Moreover, the lotus is a treasure all over the body, lotus leaves, lotus whiskers, lotus pods, lotus handles, lotus seed hearts, lotus roots, lotus roots, etc. can be used in medicine, especially lotus leaves, which can be said to be a must-have for summer health.

In ancient China, there was a tradition of folding plums in spring and giving them away, and picking lotuses in autumn. Since ancient times, the Chinese have regarded lotus seeds as a precious food, and today they are still high-grade nourishing and nutritious, and many places specialize in the production of lotus seeds, and lotus root is the best vegetable and candied fruit.

Lotus leaves, lotus flowers, lotus stamens, etc. are also popular medicinal dietary products among the Chinese. It can be seen that the lotus food culture is rich and colorful. Traditional lotus seed porridge, lotus preserved rice, lotus seed powder, lotus root slices with meat, lotus leaf steamed pork, lotus leaf porridge, etc.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that lotus flowers, lotus seeds, lotus clothes, lotus houses, lotus whiskers, lotus seed hearts, lotus leaves, lotus stems, lotus roots, etc. can be used medicinally. Lotus can invigorate blood and stop bleeding, remove dampness and eliminate wind, clear the heart and cool the blood, detoxify fever and detoxification.

Lotus whiskers can clear the heart, benefit the kidneys, astringent essence, stop bleeding, relieve heat and trouble, and quench thirst. Lotus leaves can clear away heat and dampness, raise the sun and stop bleeding, and lose weight.

Lotus root can save energy to stop bleeding, disperse stasis, and detoxify pyretic. The lotus stem can clear away heat and relieve heat, ventilate and drain water, and clear the heart.

These traditional Chinese medicines come from the same plant, but the functions of different parts are different: lotus root to stop bleeding and dissipate stasis, lotus leaf to clear heat and dampness, promote hair and clear yang, stop bleeding, lotus stem to clear heat and relieve heat, ventilation and heatstroke, lotus leaf to clear heat and remove dampness, and blood to stabilize the fetus.

Thinking that lotus flowers have so many uses, Luo Tong nourished these lotus seeds with his ability early, broke a small hole in the lotus seeds, and sprinkled the lotus seeds evenly along the riverbank into the lotus pond. After that, Luo Tong didn't care about them anymore, because she believed that these excellent lotus seeds would definitely be able to produce beautiful flowers.

The small river was later called the lotus pond, and the lotus pond was about five acres large. At the beginning, the lotus seeds bought in Boss Li's nursery were not enough at all, and Luo Tong later went to the seed company to buy another batch of lotus seeds.

In the process of buying lotus seeds, something happened that made Luo Tong cry and laugh. When she went to buy lotus seeds, the salesperson introduced her to many varieties, and there were about 30 varieties of it.

Large-flowered varieties with a flower diameter greater than 17 cm. The single-petal red varieties include West Lake Red Lotus, East Lake Red Lotus, Suzhou Red Lotus, Daming Red Lotus, etc.; the pink varieties include Ancient Lotus, Xiang Lotus, Fanchuantai, etc.; the white varieties include Xiaomaojie, Damaojie, Suzhou White Lotus, Da Minglian, etc.; and the intercolored varieties have single-sprinkled brocade. The semi-double-petaled red varieties include red thousand leaves, the pink varieties include pink thousand leaves, Buddha lotus, heavy Taiwan lotus, etc., the white varieties have white dry leaves, and the intercolored varieties include small sprinkle brocade and large sprinkle brocade.

Medium- and small-flowered varieties with a flower diameter of less than 16 cm. The single-petal red varieties include Donghu Chunxiao, the white varieties include the white lotus, the Xiamen bowl lotus, the semi-double-petaled red varieties include the red bowl lotus, the pink varieties include the three changes of Jiaorong, the autumn water is long-lasting, and the bowl is red, the white varieties include the birthday peach, the white bowl lotus, the green variety has the green lotus, and the intercolored varieties include the red-edged white bowl lotus.

The lotus seeds that Boss Li gave to Luo Tong are common large-flowered varieties, and Luo Tong was attracted by the introduction of the sales staff, so he took some of these varieties of lotus seeds and asked others to pack them in small bags.

Later, the salesman introduced that there were big king lotus, little white lotus, and Ti lotus, yin and yang lotus, etc.

It is a famous aquatic garden ornamental plant in the tropics, with the largest leaves among the world's aquatic plants.

Its leaves can reach more than 3 meters in diameter, with smooth leaf surfaces and rolled leaf margins, like large emerald green jade plates floating on the water.

Because its leaf veins are different from the leaf vein structure of ordinary plants, they are rib-shaped, like an umbrella frame, so they have great buoyancy, and can withstand objects weighing up to sixty or seventy kilograms without sinking.

Luo Tong was very curious when he heard Wang Lian's introduction, especially when he heard that Wang Lian was a treasure in the lotus, Luo Tong's eyes were even more bling bling, so of course he bought it decisively.
