"Dexter, our zoo formalities are finally done. However, it can't really be called a zoo yet, it's just a preparatory procedure. After the zoo is completed, they will send someone to inspect it, and if the inspection is passed, the real zoo will be passed. Liu Yi dared to come back from the town.

"It's still so troublesome, so did they say that if we have ferocious wild animals here in the future, how should we manage them?" asked Liu Heming while combing his daughter's hair very seriously.

"They just say it's safe. Because you are so special here, maybe in their regulations, there is no corresponding provision. Those wolves have lived with you for too long, and they can live peacefully with the tourists. Liu Yi shrugged his shoulders.

"Dad, are you going to send the big wolf and the little wolf wolf away?" Alex asked, turning his head worriedly.

"You little fellow, listen to the wind and rain. Isn't Dad going to get you a zoo, you need their approval, and there will be more and more animals in our ranch in the future. Is the head rope tied tightly now?" Liu Heming asked a little worried after explaining.

Alex shook his head, and the strand of hair on his head that was deliberately tied and slanted by Liu Heming also kept flicking back and forth playfully.

Liu Heming has a great sense of accomplishment, and he likes to see his daughter's playful and cute little appearance the most.

In fact, he regretted it a little, after sending his daughter to school, he had a lot less time to play with his daughter every day, and he really wanted to go to school with his daughter.

The little guy tied his hair, sneaked a glance at Liu Heming, and then changed into his little boots. Liu Heming didn't see it, knowing that his daughter wanted to find a little insect to play on the water. Now the water is cold, as long as she doesn't go swimming in the water.

While discussing with Liu Yi how this zoo should pass the inspection "reasonably", Alex ran back from outside, carrying a large lotus pod on his shoulder.

"Dad, is this anything to eat?" asked the little guy when he came to Liu Heming and held the lotus canopy in front of him.

"How do you know this is edible?" asked Liu Heming curiously.

"Grandpa Chen said it at school. The little guy said seriously.

"Haha, I'm afraid you've memorized what you can eat. Liu Heming grabbed the little guy into his arms and said with a smile.

Alex was a little shy, but people still wanted to taste the taste of this big lotus pod.

"It's called a lotus pod, and there are lotus seeds in it. Lotus seeds can be eaten, but they need to be processed first. By the way, there should be delicious lotus root under the lake, and Dad will dig it for you to make delicious food. Liu Heming took out a lotus seed from the lotus canopy and gave it to his daughter to play with.

Now the lotus flowers on the other side of the lotus lake have long since withered, and all that remains is the upright lotus canopy. The lotus root buried in the silt of the pond is a good thing, and I am used to living here, and I haven't eaten it for a long time. I don't know if the lotus root in my pond is fat enough, and whether the taste is good.

Anyway, my daughter is resting today, so I can make some lotus root for my daughter to taste. Here in the United States, even in some Chinese-owned supermarkets, lotus roots are rare.

Lotus root picking is not so easy. He didn't want to let go of the water in his pond, so he had to dig lotus roots at the edge of the pond where the water was shallow.

Although the water has been in the sun for a long time, he still feels a chill when he enters the water. It's comfortable in the summer, but it's a bit of a sin at this time.

The water was a little deep, and he only held his breath a few times before he touched the lotus root in the mud under the pond. It seems to be quite rough, and after grabbing it, he pulled it hard, and the three lotus roots were dragged up by him from below.

It can only be said that he really doesn't know how to pick lotus roots, and he doesn't have that technique, anyway, if he touches it, he grabs it out, and it doesn't matter if he can get the whole lotus root out.

"Dad, it's dirty. Looking at the mud covered with lotus roots, Alex, who was looking forward to it on the side, was a little disappointed.

"Don't worry. After Liu Heming said with a smile, he washed it in the pond.

After a while, the three-section lotus root revealed its true face, thicker than Alex's arm, white and tender, with a slight hint of yellow.

This time, Alex was interested, and after taking the lotus root handed over by Liu Heming, he looked at it with curiosity, not knowing how to speak.

Liu Heming broke off a section, peeled off part of the lotus root skin with a knife, and then cut off a few pieces of the white lotus root, and put one of the pieces into the girl's big mouth.

The lotus root slice is not small, but Alex wiped out the lotus root in a few bites.

"It's crunchy, it's sticky, and there's a little bit of sweetness. "The little guy gave a review.

This is the first time the little guy has eaten lotus root, although the sweetness is not very strong, but the little guy likes this crisp texture, and the remaining two pieces are also eliminated by the little guy in his little belly.

These lotus roots may grow well because the pond mud is very fat. Liu Heming fished for a while and came up with more than a dozen sections. Some lotus roots are fat and dunky, and all of them have thick arms.

The skin that was dug up later was yellower than the one dug at the beginning, and the taste was much better. Let Liu Heming, a rookie who knows lotus root for the first time, know that this kind of yellowing skin is a mature lotus root.

Even the one who hugged him brought these lotus roots back, and then he got them. They are the main course for today's dinner, and they can't be wasted when they are dug up. The bad guy is also one of the Eight Immortals of Water, and that is also the existence of a famous name.

Even if Alex still wanted to eat the lotus root as a fruit, Liu Heming didn't dare to give her too much, so he still asked the little guy to wait for him to fry the lotus root.

Chop the minced meat, simmer it on the side, and then he begins to process the lotus roots.

The lotus root slices were cut out one by one, and Alex on the side wanted to steal a few pieces again. But what was more interested than her was the tearing family group that ran back from their jobs, and they also squatted on the side and tilted their heads to look at these lotus roots.

Liu Heming grabbed a piece and handed it to Erha, who happily bit it. Not to mention, Erha is very fond of lotus root slices, and after eating them on his paws, he kept licking his tongue, and his eyes continued to aim at the lotus root slices cut out by Liu Heming.

Liu Heming had no choice but to give it another piece. I could see that the two on the side were also too hot to see, and their tails were about to shake off. Let Alex take care of them, and they'll have to stuff the lotus root slices with meat and flour.

The small pot on the side was set up, and the pork ribs and lotus root soup were stewed, and he also peeled a few lotus seeds and threw them inside. After the oil in the pan is heated, the lotus root slices stuffed with meat are quickly floured and thrown into the pan.

Alex's little nose sniffed, accurately grasped the fragrance of the lotus root in the oil pot, and then waited aside with a small plate.

Liu Heming used a spoon to multiply the lotus root clips in the oil pan several times, and then scooped out the fried lotus root clips with a colander and put them on Alex's plate.

The little guy didn't eat secretly, but ran to Sasha, who was resting in the living room, with a plate, to share it with his mother.

Crisp and fragrant, this is Sasha's first feeling after eating the lotus root clip. And the crunchy texture seems to be the feeling that the more you chew, the more you like it. A few pieces of lotus root clips, the two of them didn't bother much at all, and they finished eating it with a sigh of relief.

This time, without Alex's hands, Sasha ran directly to Liu Heming's side with the plate, and also waited for the next pot with Alex.

Don't look at Sasha is also a child's mother, and now she is also spoiled by Liu Heming. Especially when I'm at home, I don't feel like an adult at all. Anyway, if it had been placed in the past, she would never have waited on the stove like now.

Two more plates of lotus root slices were fried, and they were eaten cleanly by the two of them without wasting anything.

"You can stop for a while, there is also lotus root pork rib soup on the side, and you should drink some in the evening. Liu Heming said helplessly.

He didn't expect the fried lotus root slices to be so popular, and it seems that he could consider launching them in his own restaurant, otherwise so many lotus roots under the pond would really be in vain.

Sasha was a little embarrassed, in fact, if it had been in the past, she would never be so greedy. But I don't know what's wrong today, but after eating it, I think it tastes great. I didn't treat fried lotus root slices as a dish at all, this is a snack.

Liu Heming did not favor one over the other, changed the pot, changed the oil, changed the beef filling, and fried some for Haya. Don't look at it as a princess, it's also a snack, and I often watch others eat with a blank eye. It's just that she can enjoy the fried lotus root slices, and she doesn't have a chance to enjoy the lotus root pork rib soup.

The crispness of the lotus root slices also made this girl like it very much, and they said that when they go back, they must take more with them, and fry them themselves when they go home.

Liu Heming didn't even cook today, just these fried lotus root clips and lotus root pork rib soup. Even though Sasha and Alex had already eaten a lot, they still had a great appetite when it was time to actually start eating.

This fried lotus root clip looks a little greasy, but when you actually eat it, it doesn't have any oil in your mouth. The crunchy lotus root, with a faint fragrance of lotus root, matches the fresh fragrance of the meat filling just right.

Eat a few slices of lotus root, drink a few mouthfuls of lotus root pork rib soup, nibble on a small rib, scoop up a few slices of stewed soft lotus root, and there is a small pile of bones next to Alex.

"Dad, it's delicious, can I bring it to school for the children to eat together?" After eating and drinking, Alex looked at Liu Heming and asked very seriously.

"Of course you can, next year Dad will arrange for someone to harvest some. Liu Heming said with relief.

It's good that the girl has such an idea, and it makes him very happy. It's just that harvesting lotus root is estimated to be a little laborious, the outer ones are better, and the deep places inside, I'm afraid you have to get some diving equipment to go down to pick them.

But it's not a problem, otherwise these lotus roots are also a waste.
