"Hey, Sister Lulu, do you see that there is a lotus pod in that lotus?!" Chu Xiran stood up and asked, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward to see clearly.

"Be careful!" Xing Lu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her back, no one knew if this lotus flower was strong or not after it mutated!

"Be careful in the future, don't be so reckless, danger can exist anytime and anywhere. ”

"Oh, just thinking about it to see clearly, forgetting that the plants at this time are all mutated, Sister Lulu, you saved my life, and now you are my savior, hehe~" Chu Xiran scratched his head and said with a smile.

After a pause, she asked again, "I don't know if I can eat such a lotus pod with ornamental lotus knots, I like to eat the lotus seeds made by Aunt Fen and stewed fish maw with rock sugar." It's just that I've been out of stock for a long time with lotus seeds, and even Aunt Fen can't eat them here, alas~"

Thinking that Aunt Fen in her mouth should be the Chu family's nanny or housekeeper, Xing Lu couldn't bear to hit her thoughts when she saw Chu Xiran's regretful and nostalgic eyes.

"It should be able to eat, we didn't eat the lotus seeds that were born from the lotus flowers in the past because it was too small, and there was basically nothing left except for the lotus heart, and the position close to the lotus heart was a little bitter, it was very laborious to deal with, and it was not worth spending so much effort. Now, I don't believe that a lotus seed like this big lotus canopy will only have a lotus seed heart like before. She pointed to the huge lotus canopy in the pond and comforted her.

"Is what you said true, Sister Lulu? It would be great if this mutated lotus seed could be eaten, I still have several catties of fish maw and more than a dozen catties of rock sugar with me, so I can make the dessert I want to drink at any time?"

"Uncle Da, can we go into the water and pick some lotus flowers?" she turned to Uncle Da, who was resting on a stone bench on the side.

"Hehe, Miss Xiran, I can't be the master, you have to ask the young master about this. ”

In fact, there are still a lot of lotus seeds in the space buttons of him and the young master. At the beginning of the cataclysm, when most people were busy collecting grain, the Chu family stored a lot of various dry goods that were easy to store, and Miss Xi Ran's favorite sweet soup ingredients, longan, red dates, lotus seeds, white fungus, fish maw, blood swallows, snow clams, etc., were the key collection objects at that time.

The reason why I didn't reveal the details to her was because Miss Xiran was really a person who couldn't put things. Especially what she likes to eat, she can eat it for a week without getting tired of it, and she has a special appetite for sweets, so for the sake of her teeth, the young master only gives her a little bit every time, and gives it to her again after a long time.

Miraculously, Chu Xiran, who has not been diligent since she was a child, has the only skill she can get her hands on is to learn the skill of making soup with one hand from Aunt Fen, who has taken care of her since she was a child. The sweet soup she cooked, even Chu Yu, who has never liked sweets and is very picky, was full of praise.

I just don't know when I'll find something fresh, and even if I have a lot of stock, there will always be a day when I will finish eating, but the days to come will still be long, what if I don't have it when I want to eat it. In particular, white sugar and rock sugar are not yet able to be produced again, so they have become a temporary non-renewable precious resource, just like salt.

"Brother~~ Shall we go pick lotus flowers?"

Looking at his sister's expectant gaze, Chu Yu nodded helplessly, and a few people next to him saw a flash of light flash under Chu Xiran's long and dense eyelashes, and then laughed happily, the smiling face was as bright as a star, and it dazzled everyone's eyes in an instant.

Out of the corner of her eye, Chu Yu glanced at the beautiful but stubborn and strong girl on the side, and at this moment she was smiling and watching her sister coquettish herself. I can't help but imagine in my heart, what would it be like if she was coquettish with herself like Xiaoxi, and how would she react at that time?

Thinking of this, I felt very much looking forward to it, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and my mood became happy.

"Brother, what are you doing in a daze? Didn't you agree to pick the lotus pods? Let's go pick them quickly, you see, there are people next to you who have already started to act. Chu Xiran took Chu Yu's arm with one hand, and pointed to the lotus pickers in the pond with the other.

"Hehe, Miss Chu, don't worry, even if they act early, they will pick the most in the end. Zhang Qiang comforted her with a smile, he was very confident in the strength of his team.

"Well, yes, I have faith in you. Everyone have to come on, I'm very optimistic about you, Brother Roach!"

"Haha, don't worry, Xiaoxi, I believe that your brother Luo Qi is right. I'll keep all the lotus seeds I picked this time, and I'll make sure you eat enough, so that's it!" Roach patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, that's what you said, Brother Luo Qi, you can't regret it when the time comes!" Chu Xiran hurriedly said, as if he was afraid that he would regret it in the future.

"When does what I say not count, Brother Qi, I am a manly husband who promises a thousand gold!"

"Poof~ Just like you, the big tofu is almost the same, have you ever heard of a big husband who is afraid of cockroaches? Ah, Luo Dafu?" Chu Xiran immediately exposed him without giving face.

"Who said a big man can't be afraid of cockroaches?" Roch retorted. There's no way, who makes himself not afraid of heaven and earth, just afraid of this tenacious Xiaoqiang, saying it does affect his tall and mighty image, alas~

"How's the injury on your shoulder?"

"It's nothing, Uncle Cang. The body of the stranger is really not covered, in the past, it took me half a month at most to recover from such an injury to the current state, and it has only been two or three days, and I feel that it is almost good. ”

"Well, you should be careful later, and don't be reckless. ”

"If you don't leave quickly, it's really too late to laugh. Chu Yu interrupted the interaction between several people and took the lead towards the edge of the pond.

Walking to a place next to the railing where there were no mutated lotus flowers, Uncle Cang took out the two small boats he had made when he crossed the river last time from the space button and put them into the water.

The few people who were already eager to try it all tacitly agreed to get on the boat and sit down in the position they had arranged when they crossed the river last time, and couldn't wait to row towards the place where the lotus canopies were.

When they were still five or six meters away, lotus seeds the size of quail eggs came in the direction of several people. Most of them were blocked by everyone, and a few of them didn't block and hit Zhang Qiang's wrist, and his wrist quickly swollen up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Uh-huh. The sharp pain in his wrist made him snort, and the big knife he was holding let go and fell. Fortunately, Xing Lu was quick and put it away.

"Brother Qiang, don't use a knife if you're injured, just protect yourself. ”

"Okay, that's up to you. ”

As he spoke, the boat had reached the edge of the mutated lotus. Before Xing Lu's Tang knife on the lotus canopy fell, the huge lotus leaf floating on the floating surface next to her quickly rolled towards her, and the Tang knife in her hand turned and split the lotus leaf in two.

Seeing such a change, Chu Yu shouted, "No matter what, put it away first, and then talk about it when you get to the shore." ”

When everyone heard this, they all took action, cutting down the leaves and lotus flowers one after another and putting them in their respective space buttons. Countless lotus flowers were connected, and the petioles of the lotus leaves quickly wound up like vines, and they were also cut down and put away mercilessly. When the speed is fast enough, even the lotus root attached to it can be pulled out.

Chu Xiran took pity on the lotus seeds that kept attacking them, "Alas, how much waste this is! It's enough for me to drink lotus seed porridge for a lifetime, and now it's all used as a weapon by them in vain." ”

"Hehe, concentrate on what you can get in front of you, don't pick up sesame seeds, and throw a watermelon. Finally, if we have time, let's pick it up again. Xing Lu comforted her.

In the end, nothing could be found in the water in front of them, and everything was put away by everyone. Xing Lu and Chu Xiran were still not giving up, they searched for the lotus seeds on the water surface that they didn't have time to pick up just now, and finally let them really pick up a lot, and unexpectedly found a lot of lotus roots under the water surface, as well as a small number of mutant fish, so they returned to the shore with everyone satisfied.

Holding a lotus root thicker than an adult's arm, Xiaohua shouted happily, "Sister Lulu, you have to make me some sweet and sour lotus root slices to eat tonight!"

"Okay, I'll make a little more, and then you can eat as much as you want, okay?"

"Yes, Sister Lulu, you are the best!" Xing Lu's responsiveness made Xiaohua cheer even more.
