Chapter 548: Sweet and Crunchy Lotus Root

Li Qingyun kept the earthquake in his heart, and would call his grandfather and ask him what the old man thought. With his current cultivation, he can not only feel a slight earthquake, but even predict the coming of danger, which is much more accurate than these unreliable little animals.

The water in the pond is very clear, and the lotus flowers are planted deeply. In this pond, Li Qingyun often mixes into the space spring water, not only the aquatic plants grow vigorously, all the plants are vigorous, and the height of the lotus is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If Li Qingyun wants to dig lotus roots, he must dive.

His wife and sister-in-law have been standing by the river, staring at him, they can't be too lazy, if they want to enter the small space to get lotus roots, they must first muddy the water.

Fortunately, there were a lot of fish under the lotus, and as soon as Li Qingyun dived, they "plopped" and escaped, helping him a little. Li Qingyun took advantage of this opportunity, and as soon as his hand entered the silt layer, the spirit body had already entered the small space.

When you come to the waterhole in the mysterious space, there is a gurgling sound of water flowing inside, and the spring water gushing out of the spring replenishes the waterhole, and in the long run, the water in the waterhole changes all the time, and the whole waterhole forms a pool of living water. The freshly gushed spiritual spring essence can be drunk, and the overflowing space spring water can be used to grow vegetables and raise fish, all of which are treasures, and not a drop will be wasted.

Look at the lotus leaves that are growing well in the waterhole, and the lotus flowers that are blooming red. Compared with the outside, the lotus flowers in the mysterious space are more moist, the lotus leaves are green and green, and the spirit is like a sculpture.

The concept of time in space is different from that outside, but Li Qingyun doesn't want to waste time. Li Qingyun walked into the pool, reached out and touched it, and casually touched a piece of lotus root. Since the lotus root has several knots, it can break if you are not careful. This is going to test the skill of digging lotus roots, and you want to dig up a lotus root completely. It's not an easy task.

Trying to get a whole lotus root is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. But fortunately, Li Qingyun is the owner of this small space, and it is very simple to want a few complete lotus roots. In the blink of an eye, Li Qingyun dug up three lotus roots.

Looking at the lotus root in his hand, compared to the ordinary lotus root. The lotus root in the mysterious space is white and long, and the jade carving is ordinary, and it feels delicious just by looking at the color. Growing in the space spring, under the nourishment of the spiritual spring, the lotus root will grow so white and tender, and there is no black markings on the entire lotus root.

"Hehe, it's cheaper for my gluttonous sister-in-law!" As he spoke, Li Qingyun's spirit body had left the small space. However, you can't take three lotus roots at once, and put them under the water first. Let's dig out a few of them first.

Before Li Qingyun emerged from the water, he heard his wife on the shore shouting something.

"Husband, it's really okay if you don't have it, I don't want to eat lotus roots. said it was just a joke, how can there be lotus roots to dig this season. Yang Yunu was distressed when he saw Li Qingyun going into the water and might get covered in mud, and regretted making this joke.

"yes. Brother-in-law, if you don't have it, forget it. Let's come up, it's too hot. Yang Yudie also felt a little sorry for Li Qingyun, and was a little angry in her heart, envying her sister for having such a good man to treat her, and in a word, it was impossible for him to dig up things in this season.

Li Qingyun's head was exposed to the water, although the water was a little muddy. But it was still within the acceptable range, and he replied: "Don't worry, it'll be fine soon, I'll dig two more and go up." ”

Yang Yudie didn't understand Li Qingyun's words, and said, "Forget it." Brother-in-law, you better hurry up, there are a lot of toads and snakes in this water, it's disgusting to look at, it's terrible in the water. ”

"Husband, have you dug up the lotus root?" Yang Yunu was careful, and when he heard Li Qingyun's words, he was suddenly surprised. Dig two more and go up, doesn't it mean that he has already dug up the lotus root?

"What, brother-in-law, have you dug up the lotus root?" how is it possible!" Yang Yudie said in a surprised tone, the expression on her face was a little lost. I don't know what's going on, she doesn't want Li Qingyun to dig up the lotus root, either because she's afraid that she will lose, or because she doesn't want him to win.

If she did, the bet between her and Li Qingyun would be lost. If the bet is lost, it is a small matter for her to eat a lotus root raw, mainly because if she loses, the good wish in her heart will not be realized. Therefore, in Yang Yudie's heart, he didn't want to believe the fact that Li Qingyun was able to dig up lotus roots.

What's more, in this seasonal season, lotus roots are simply impossible to dig. Because they are planted in a fish pond, they are dug once a year, and autumn is the season for digging lotus roots. When it just blooms in summer, even if there is a lotus root, it is only a lotus root bud, which is small and brittle, and it is not a normal lotus root.

Yang Yudie thought to herself, it must be that her brother-in-law couldn't dig the lotus root and deliberately said so, and he wouldn't dig one for a long time. You must not dig it, you must not dig it......

Li Qingyun dived into the water again, a lotus flower fell, his head came out of the water again, and he smiled proudly: "Okay, I dug two more, you can see ......"

Li Qingyun took out the lotus root that had been prepared a long time ago and held it out to the surface, and Yang Yunu and Yang Yudie on the shore were stunned.

Li Qingyun actually has three lotus roots in his hands, the lotus roots look tender and white, not to mention that they can't be dug like this now, even when the lotus roots are ripe, it is difficult to dig such lotus roots.

"This, how is this possible......" Yang Yudie looked at the lotus root in Li Qingyun's hand in a daze, and couldn't believe his eyes.

Yang Yudie said in her heart, it must be fake, it must be fake.

After rubbing his eyes several times with his hands, and finally looking at Li Qingyun's hands, those few lotus roots were still there, and Yang Yudie understood that this was true. In this season, how can it be possible to dig up lotus roots? Even if they are left over from the previous year, they should have rotted a long time ago, and they will never be so glossy.

"Husband, come up, hurry up and take a shower. There are a lot of insects in this water, and there are leeches, so it's not good to be bitten by them. Although Yang Yunu was also curious in his heart, he felt more sorry for Li Qingyun to help him dig lotus roots in such a hot world.

Li Qingyun was not afraid of any insects, and after going ashore, he put a few lotus roots on the tea machine. Then he went back to take a shower. When they came out, Yang Yunu and Yang Yudie had already washed the lotus roots.

Looking at the washed lotus roots, Yang Yudie was very surprised, she had never seen these lotus roots, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were as white as jade, and there was hardly a single flaw on the entire lotus root. Each lotus root has three or four knots. The length of each section is about the same.

"Brother-in-law, did you really dig this lotus root in the pond?" Yang Yudie still didn't give up, and didn't want to admit defeat like this.

"You watched me go down to the pond empty-handed, not the lotus root dug up from the pond, did I conjure it out of thin air? But although there are many lotus roots in this pond, there are not many that actually grow lotus roots. There are special ways to tell the difference, and even then, I dug for a long time to dig up the parts of them. ”

Li Qingyun is not stupid, he simply speaks to death, so as not to make Yang Yudie propose to go down to the pond again.

Sure enough, when Li Qingyun said this, Yang Yudie was speechless. I couldn't say the idea of letting him dig a few more.

"Okay, husband, Yudie, they're all such big people, and they look like children. What if you don't bet, you just have to eat. Yang Yunu played the role of a peacemaker, wanting the two to forget about the bet.

It's okay not to mention it, but Yang Yudie's stubborn temper came up. said angrily: "I talk and count, and I am serious about betting." Since I'm losing. Then I will eat a lotus root raw in front of you. ”

Hearing this, Li Qingyun smiled secretly in his heart, no matter how many people want to eat this lotus root, they can't eat it. If you can eat one, count it as your blessing, don't think it's like being wronged.

Yang Yudie didn't know the mystery. Although the lotus root can be eaten raw, Yang Yudie doesn't like that taste. I remember when she was a child, when she first saw the lotus root, she was tricked into eating it raw, and the muddy smell is still fresh in her memory.

Look at the lotus root washed in your hand. Yang Yudie had a sad face.

"Otherwise, forget it, Jade Butterfly, don't eat it. Yang Yunu, who is a sister, still understands her sister, Yang Yudie's expression is like this, and she knows that she doesn't want to eat it at a glance.

Li Qingyun smiled indifferently: "I think it's the same, don't eat it raw." When I cook in the evening, I'll fry you some hot and sour lotus root. ”

Originally, Yang Yudie wanted to find an excuse not to eat when she heard Yang Yunu's words, but Li Qingyun's normal persuasion words made Yang Yudie's stubborn temper come up again.

"I'm going to eat it for you!" Yang Yudie clicked and took a bite, the imaginary muddy smell did not appear, on the contrary, the entrance was sweet, very crisp and tender, and it was not the unpalatable taste in her memory at all.

Yang Yunu thought that Yang Yudie wanted to spit it out, and was just about to persuade her not to eat it, but Yang Yudie was like eating Xuanmai chewing gum, and she couldn't stop at all. Not only that, but she didn't even catch her breath, and directly ate the remaining two sections in one go.

"Brother-in-law, can I eat another one?" Yang Yudie, a foodie, her eyes lit up, and she actually had the face to ask such a thing, this was the first time she had lost so willingly.

Li Qingyun shook his head and said, "You can't eat the rest, this is reserved for your sister to eat." ”

When Yang Yudie heard this, her face was disappointed, and she complained: "Look, look...... Sister, you say that your brother-in-law can pick the door?"

"Hehe, just after lunch, you have eaten a few more slices of watermelon, and you have eaten so many raw lotus roots? Do you still have room in your stomach? However, I remember that you don't like to eat lotus roots?" Yang Yunu asked in surprise.

"I don't know, the lotus root I ate this time is particularly delicious, and there is no muddy smell at all. There is still some crispy sweetness and special fragrance in the mouth, and there is almost no residue when chewing, like fruit, I don't believe you can taste a little. ”

"Is it so amazing?"

Yang Yunu took a small amount of the letter suspiciously and ate it, and as soon as he ate it in his mouth, it was the same as Yang Yudie. However, she was a little puzzled, although the lotus root dug up in the pond in the past was more delicious than the lotus root grown by other people's families, it was not as good as it is today, right?

Li Qingyun secretly had a headache, knowing that showing off was too much, the lotus root planted in the small space has been growing almost all the time since it was planted, unlike the lotus root planted in this fish pond, which is dug once a year. According to the conversion of time to ten, Li Qingyun himself was shocked, these lotus roots are afraid that they have been growing in the space for more than ten years, absorbing a lot of spiritual substances, and if they continue to grow, they are afraid that they can be comparable to elixirs. (To be continued......)

PS: To explain, the harvest season of lotus root is subject to variety and region, and there are slight differences in each place, and there are also differences in different varieties. The lotus root in August and September is brittle and easy to break, so the lotus root is mostly harvested in early winter.
