From the afternoon, the school has to have an extra eye - anti-monkey! Chu Jiaqiang sent the monkeys very simply, he didn't have time to always help people watch the monkeys. As long as the little ones in the village who have not studied are allowed to play with the monkeys, the monkeys will naturally not run to the school to be idle.

The second uncle, Chu Shengmin, saw that Chu Jiaqiang and the others were free, so he asked them to dig up the lotus root from another big ditch, keep some of it for themselves, and give the rest away to sell. Now, Chu Shengmin no longer cares about that bit of income, and sells what he can't give.

Called some boring people, like Zhou Furong, Chen Wu, Jackton and others, a group of big men ran to the big ditch to dig lotus roots, and the tourists felt interesting, and they all ignored the current cold water, and went down to play with Chu Jiaqiang and others in the mud.

"Girls and those with long armor don't come down! Then your armor will be unsightly. Chu Jiaqiang reminded them in advance, don't see people enjoying themselves, and run down, when the time comes, the beautiful nails will be scrapped.

When the female tourists heard this, they all calmed down and did not rush again, and Aimei's heart made them control their behavior at all times.

"After digging in a while, whoever wants it will take it back." Chu Jiaqiang said to the others. Save yourself from sending it to your own family, and when the time comes, pull a batch to the Institute of Chinese Medicine Revival and the Research Institute, and it will be about the same.

Zhou Furong was even more unceremonious, he dug up a section by himself, washed it, it looked as white and tender as white jade, as thick as a child's arm, and couldn't help but gnaw it on the spot.

"Hmmm! Even better than the previous year. Zhou Furong praised.

After being moistened by spiritual water, these crops are naturally much better than the outside, not only in appearance, but also in taste. Before, there were vegetable buyers who coveted it for a long time, and they always tricked Chu Shengmin into digging it up.

"Dude? That's how you eat? Isn't this thing meant to be cooked? One tourist said dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey! Dude, haven't you eaten it raw? Taste it, it's good! Like fruit, don't worry. Zhou Furong smiled at the tourist.

The lotus root is slightly sweet and crisp, can be eaten raw or cooked, and the medicinal value is quite high, its roots, roots, leaves, flowers, whiskers and fruits, all are treasures, can be nourished into medicine.

"It's okay! Wash it and eat it. The composition of lotus root is relatively simple, that is, starch, and there will be no accidents. Chu Jiaqiang said to them. However, he himself does not like to eat lotus root raw. Eating raw lotus root is actually beneficial, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the surname of raw lotus root is cold, sweet and cool into the stomach, can eliminate stasis and cool blood, clear away heat, and quench vomiting and thirst.

"Grandma's! Lao Cun, how did you grow this lotus root? You see, this piece is really thick, it's as thick as my arm. It's the first time I've seen such a big lotus root, and there seem to be many knots below. "A young man dug up a section, very thick, and when it rippled in the water, it immediately washed away the mud from the surface, and shone like jade in the sun.

"It's an exaggeration." The others also chimed in, slightly surprised. Many people have paid attention to it and want to dig a section that is so thick.

"You're asking him in vain. I watched his kid sow these lotus roots, and since sowing them, this guy hasn't paid any attention to them, what secret can he have? Li Quan said. He also wondered, such a lazy person actually seemed to be able to harvest everything he planted. In the end, everyone attributed the good soil here, and they would not think of Chu Jiaqiang at all.

Chu Jiaqiang's laziness is also well-known in the village, so everyone subconsciously no longer talks about this issue. Just now, the tourist positioned his piece in public as the Lotus Root King, ready to buy it and take it back.

Chu Jiaqiang didn't bother to pay attention to it, pouted and said, "If you want to take it, you don't have to talk about any money or not." With such a big lotus root, it's hard to say whether it's delicious or not. ”

He wondered if that piece of lotus root was the "fish that slipped through the net" the previous year, and it was probably the next year. Most of the next year's crops are the same as overnight meals, and they are not very tasty. Cassava is a good example, and if it doesn't grow well in the first year, villagers tend to save it for the second year. Such cassava looks huge, but it is actually very old.

That tourist doesn't care if it's delicious or not, just take it back, and he will have more face. Not everyone can get such a big lotus root.

He dug out the other four broken sections from below, each of which was surprisingly thick.

"! This piece is really king. Chen Wu said. It is more than twice as thick as other lotus roots, what is it that is not the king of lotus roots?

At this time, many people stepped forward to discuss and let the guy give up the other four sections.

"Let me take a bite and taste it." Zhou Furong is more direct.

Chu Jiaqiang didn't join in the fun, broke a section, washed the mud, and then threw it to the little bear watching on the shore. The little bear suddenly showed a cute smile, picked up the lotus root and nibbled on it.

Brown bears have a good appetite, they eat almost all over the world, as long as they can eat, they will not pick and choose.

"There are so many lotus roots, you can consider making lotus root powder in the old village! It's nice to eat it. A female tourist suggested to Chu Jiaqiang.

Chu Jiaqiang still shook his head: "It's too troublesome!" If you can give it away, you will send it, and if you can't send it, you will directly let the buyer pull it away. ”

He is the most afraid of trouble, and others like to drink lotus root powder, but he doesn't like it very much, and the lotus root soup is almost the same. This lotus root flour is nothing more than starch, what's so delicious?

Of course, it varies from person to person, and there are many people who like it. Why is lotus root flour sold all over the world? Even in ancient times, it was a royal product.

In fact, making lotus root flour is not very difficult, it is very complicated.

Choose a fresh lotus root with coarse knots, high starch content, wash it in clean water, cut off the lotus root, and mash and grind it with a mascher. Then put the lotus root pulp in a cloth bag, connect it to a container such as a cylinder or basin, rinse it in the cloth bag with clean water, and turn the lotus root residue while flushing until the lotus root pulp in the lotus root residue is washed.

The rinsed sand is precipitated, and the middle layer of the slurry is placed in another container, stirred with water, and then settled. Repeat this once or twice to remove the fine lotus root residue and the sediment contained in the lotus root powder. The lotus root flour precipitated by rinsing is wrapped in a cloth bag or fine gauze, hung with a rope, and drained after about half a day. Finally, sun-drying is fine.

At the beginning, when he was in Liujiagou, he suggested that Liujiagou plant lotus root in a shallow lake, and Chu Jiaqiang talked to them, don't worry about planting, even if the market is ** in the future, it can also be made into lotus root powder, and you can package it.

"It's not bad to get a small amount." Zhou Furong is quite in favor of getting a little bit. The quality of these lotus roots is so good, it would be a waste to keep a little more for yourself.

"Anyway, if you're free, it's up to you!" Chu Jiaqiang responded.

The corners of Chen Wu and the others twitched, and they said secretly: Aren't you free? (To be continued.) )
