A quarter of an hour later, three bowls of Yangchun noodles were served, and Ji Qing was greeted by a gust of wind and clouds.

Because I have to get up in the morning (seven o'clock to nine o'clock) to talk about books, Ji Qing is used to eating after speaking, so I will eat a bowl of tofu brain and fritters in advance to pad my stomach.

But because of Shao Hao's huge consumption, he was actually hungry quite quickly.

Therefore, after the morning lecture, Chen Shuozhen would always go to a nearby noodle restaurant in advance to buy three bowls of Yangchun noodles, and after the audience dispersed, he would bring them to Ji Qing to replenish his strength.

Because Ji Qing is more edible, it is nicknamed "Ji San Bowl" by the nearby townspeople.

Looking at Ji Qing's gobbling up, Chen Shuozhen hurriedly patted him on the shoulder: "Eat slowly, no one is robbing you here, it's just a joke for people to see you, there is still it here." ”

"Oops...... I have to hurry up to eat, I'm still in a hurry to find Han Ling's alchemy. Ji Qing took a sip of noodle soup.

"Then there's no need to rush it. Chen Shuozhen frowned.

Although she said so, this girl still obediently poured tea for Ji Qing, so as not to choke Ji Qing for a while.

Then Chen Shuozhen didn't care about Ji Qing, sat beside him and looked through the script that was going to start rehearsing for a while.

A quarter of an hour later, the three bowls of Yangchun noodles were eaten by Ji Qing, and Ji Qing poured the previous cup of cold tea into his stomach in one gulp, and burped with satisfaction.

"Full?"

"Well, I'm full, then I'll go first. ”

"You wait. Chen Shuozhen suddenly stopped Ji Qing.

"What's wrong?"

"Eat a mouth full of noodle soup, let others see the joke?" Chen Shuozhen said and took out his silk scarf and wiped it for Ji Qing very carefully.

"Alright, let's go, don't hurt yourself again today. Chen Shuozhen said as he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to come back safely today. ”

"Don't you say that every time, and in the end, you were carried back by Han Ling and them. Chen Shuozhen gave Ji Qing a beautiful white eye.

"Hehe, you can take care of it a little more. Ji Qing scratched her head.

"Well, today's meal money, take it, don't say I don't give you money to spend. Chen Shuozhen took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them to Ji Qing.

Since being sent to Ji Qing's side, Ji Qing feels that although this girl is sometimes fierce, she is actually a very thoughtful girl, and the reason why "Minghuju" is so good is that she has a great credit.

After all, Ji Qing is only responsible for lecturing, and the operation after the lecture is arranged by Chen Shuozhen alone, and Ji Qing's perception of her has changed a lot now.

Now Ji Qing has a teahouse like "Minghuju" in Wuchuan Town as a shop to make profits for himself, and naturally he will not continue to live in the small place where every inch of land is expensive in the town, and now Ji Qing is a veritable "Ji shopkeeper".

Of course, people outside don't understand that Chen Shuozhen is actually worrying about him behind his back, and he himself is just a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Okay, okay, I'll go first, you have to pay attention to your body, don't exhaust yourself. ”

"Hmph, I want you to ......"

Alas, it would be nice if this girl's mouth was sweeter, Ji Qing was speechless for a while.

At this moment, Ling Hao was observing the lotus seeds he had just planted a few months ago.

"It is worthy of the world of high martial arts, even if it is a flower species with an anti-flowering period like a lotus, it can bloom in late autumn and September......," Ling Hao enthusiastically held his pot of lotus flowers that had been quietly cultivated for several months and studied them.

Lotus, belonging to the Ranunculaceae family, is the common name of two species of plants in the genus Lotus.

Also known as lotus, water hibiscus, etc. It is a perennial aquatic herbaceous flower of the genus Lotus.

The underground stems are long and thick, with long nodes and rounded leaves. The flowering period is from June to September, solitary at the top of the peduncle, with many petals, embedded in the receptacle**, with red, pink, white, purple and other colors, or colored patterns and borders. The nuts are oval in shape and the seeds are ovate.

There are many types of lotus flowers, which are divided into two categories: ornamental and edible. Native to tropical and temperate regions of Asia, it has been cultivated in China as early as the Zhou Dynasty. The lotus flower is a treasure all over the body, lotus root and lotus seeds can be eaten, lotus seeds, rhizomes, lotus roots, lotus leaves, flowers and seed germs can be used in medicine. Its unstained character is always praised by the world.

"The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red" is a true portrayal of the beauty of the lotus. The noble character of the lotus flower "straight from the middle to the outside, not vines and branches, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons", has always been one of the themes of poets and painters.

By the way, the lotus flower is also the national flower of India and Vietnam, and it has a high symbolic meaning. 361 Reading

There are also various theories about the name of the lotus flower throughout history.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" once explained: "The lotus stem is loaded with leaves, and the leaves are loaded with flowers, hence the name." "Furong: also known as "Furong". The Chinese dictionary "Erya" explains: "Hibiscus contains a compress of Puye. Another "Saying Wen Jie Zi" cloud: "It has not been sent as a Hanlian, but it has been sent as a hibiscus." Li Shizhen also added that hibiscus is "the meaning of dressing cloth and beauty", so the Han Dynasty writer Sima Xiangru compared his wife, the famous talented girl Zhuo Wenjun, to a hibiscus out of the water.

2. Named after its growth habits: Shuizhi, Shuihua, Shuiyun, Shuidan, Shuime, Zezhi: Because the lotus is a perennial aquatic plant with roots, the ancients classified it as an aquatic weed, and the name mostly starts with the word "water".

Cao Zhi, a writer of the Three Kingdoms, praised in his "Furong Fu" that "the majesty of a hundred flowers is beautiful, and there is no single spirit of Sihua", and compared the lotus flower to the lingzhi in the water.

3. Named after the holy and elegant temperament of the lotus: Junzi Flower, Lingbo Fairy, Water Palace Fairy, Jade Ring, etc.

According to the record of "Northern Dream Trivia": during the Yuanhe period of the Tang Dynasty (806-820 years), Su Chang lived in Wuzhong (now Suzhou), met a plain and pink-faced girl, and gave him a jade ring.

Fourth, in ancient times, the customs of the south of the Yangtze River, the 24th day of June in the lunar calendar is the birthday of the lotus, and the lotus flower therefore has the nickname of "June Flower God".

5. In order to express the appreciation of the noble form of the lotus, the golden hibiscus and the grass hibiscus are used as metaphors for the rarity of the lotus flower.

Sixth, Xike and Jingke both emphasize the growth environment and quiet and elegant state of lotus. The cuiqian is the nickname of the new lotus, the red dress is another name for the lotus petals, the palace lotus is the good name of the lotus petals, and the Buddha seat must be the nickname of the lotus stamen.

"Lotus" is also known as "living fossil" by later generations, and is one of the earliest plants of angiosperm origin. About 100,000 years before the advent of humans, most of the Earth was covered by oceans, lakes and swamps.

At that time, the climate was warm and humid, and ferns that reached tens of meters in height were found in all corners of the earth. Most of the seed plants cannot survive, and only a few seed plants with strong vitality grow on this earth dominated by dinosaurs and ferns.

Among them, there is such an aquatic plant called "lotus" today, which has withstood the test of nature and survived tenaciously in the Amur River (now Heilongjiang), the Yellow River, the Yangtze River basin and the swampy lakes of the northern hemisphere in ancient China.

After about 100 million years, hominids began to appear. In order to survive, human beings collected wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and soon discovered that the wild fruits and root nodes of this "lotus" (i.e., lotus seeds and lotus roots) were not only edible, but also sweet and fragrant, and delicious.

Gradually, the "lotus", the source of food for human survival, was deeply engraved in the hearts of people's ancestors, primitive humans, and became a symbol of human survival.

Until the Neolithic Age, in the fifth or sixth millennium B.C., with the emergence of agricultural culture, human beings began to further understand the lotus.

At that time, in order to meet the demand for water, human beings generally settled on the banks of rivers and lakes or in swampy areas with natural springs, which were the main distribution areas of wild lotus. From the unearthed cultural relics: in the north of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, Dahe Village, excavated the "Yangshao Culture" house foundation site, found that there are carbonized grain and two lotus seeds on the indoor countertop, after measurement, there is a history of 5,000 years.

In the continuous production and labor, human beings have accumulated a rich perceptual understanding of the growth habits and living environment of lotus flowers that get along day and night, which has laid a good foundation for the emergence and development of the ancient lotus culture in China.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the lotus also entered people's field ponds from the wild state of the lakeside swamp during this period.

The Book of Zhou contains the words "Xue Ze has been exhausted, and the lotus root is dug up." It can be seen that wild lotus flowers have begun to be used as edible vegetables at that time.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, people named each part of the lotus organ. The earliest dictionary in China, "Erya" in the early Han Dynasty, recorded: "Lotus, hibiscus, its stems, its leaves, its secrets, its paintings, in fact, lotus, its roots, among them, the barley in the barley." "I also have a certain concept of understanding lotus flowers.

The lotus flower has entered people's labor and life with its practicality, and at the same time, it has also penetrated into people's spiritual world with its gorgeous colors and elegant demeanor. In the earliest collection of poems in China, the Book of Songs, there is a description of lotus flowers: "The mountain has Fusu, Xi and lotus", and "at the time of Pize, there is a pu and a lotus".

Lotus as an ornamental plant was introduced to the garden pond for planting, the earliest was in 473 B.C., Wu Wangfu sent in his palace (i.e., Suzhou Lingyan Mountain) for the favorite concubine Xi Shi to enjoy the lotus and build the "play flower pond". The Spring and Autumn period bronze craft treasure "Lotus Crane Square Pot" (118 cm high, collection of the Palace Museum) reflects the important role of lotus flowers in the spirit of the times from the artistic aspect.

It can be seen that the lotus flower, like the deified dragon, the claw and the crane, has become one of the very noble and holy symbols in the minds of ancient people......

However, Ling Hao was thinking about other things at the moment.

If you can grow lotus flowers in late autumn in summer, can you also grow peach blossoms in early spring in winter?

Well, that's a question worth pondering.

"Childe, it's time for you to go to school with the temple. At this time, Gao Rong stepped forward step by step.

"Yes, then I'll go first, and this pot of lotus will trouble you to take care of Rong'er." Ling Hao patted his head, almost forgetting that he hadn't gone to the palace to report today.

As a student of the Academy, even if you can't learn, you have to go to the Academy every day to make a daily routine report, otherwise you may be said by others to be a rude person who is "disrespectful".

Ling Hao felt that he didn't need to bear such a reputation, so he always went very diligently.

But in the morning, he and Wang Xuanqing were a little forgetful when they were together, Gao Rong stood aside and was sprinkled with a mouthful of dog food, and waited until Wang Xuanqing left before she stepped forward to prompt Ling Hao.

"Alas, Childe always forgets like this. Gao Rong sighed lightly.

"But he is also a very interesting man, and no wonder they sent me close to him. ”
