Chapter 54: Swimming in Bibo Lake (2)

After eating, Bai Yi and Wang Dahai listened to the eldest brother talk about the interesting things in the past, and the elder brother also looked reminiscing.

At that time, there was not so much attention now, everything that could be eaten was stuffed into the mouth, and now it is not good, it is not clean and unhygienic.

At that time, a group of children went crazy together after school, regardless of whether they finished their homework or not. Nowadays, children, go to class, get out of class, go to class, go to class, make up classes, go to school, go home, have to go to school. It's no easier than the average person who goes to work.

Listening to the old man interjecting an interesting story from time to time, Bai Yi and Wang Dahai were still ready to set off for Bibo Lake after being held by the two.

Came to Bibo Lake again, this time the boatman finally came, and Bai Yi and Wang Dahai expressed their desire to swim in the lake. The shipwright uncle greeted the two in white very warmly.

The middle-aged uncle with a furrow on his face with a furrow face with a lifebuoy and a lifebuoy and a lifebuoy with a white coat shows the skill of a boatman who has lived by the water for many years.

Putting away the anchor, the uncle rowed vigorously, and the antique canopy boat turned around, rowing a little distance, and even turned 180 degrees.

The uncle's arm shook slightly, and the boat turned in the right direction and gradually went towards the center of Bibo Lake, the closer to the center of the lake, the more lotus leaves and lotus flowers remained, although it was autumn, but there were still a few lotus plants, struggling to refuse to melt away.

"Eh, uncle, why does the front of that look like land?" Suddenly, Bai Yi pointed to a long distance in front of him and said. It really looks like a tiny island.

"Where was the former aquatic animal sanctuary, in recent years, aquatic animals have also been rare." Uncle doesn't have too much emotion about these, after all, this is the normal state of many ordinary people, don't be nosy.

"Can we lean over and take a look?" Bai Yi asked the uncle.

"Yes, but it's not much to look forward to, since the aquatic protected animals didn't settle here, they gradually fell into abandonment and no one took care of them." The uncle couldn't figure out why the young man wanted to go to a deserted island.

"Uncle, you just take us over, we want to know some aquatic animals and plants here." Bai Yi had to say this to his uncle.

"Okay, you guys sit down, I'm sped up." As soon as the uncle finished speaking, he turned on the engine on the boat and replaced the hand-cranked oar, and the speed of the boat immediately increased by several grades.

The closer you get to the small island, the more you can see the lotus flower canopy nearby, which is much better than the outer ones.

When he came to the vicinity of the island, Bai Yi motioned to the uncle to stop the boat and slowly lean over, and finally Bai Yi saw the plant herbs he had been looking for, the gourd, and the reed root, but he didn't see the white grass root.

Maybe there is land or maybe it is the reason for the good water quality near the island, and the white clothes even saw the wandering grass shrimp in the aquatic grass.

Bai Yi asked the uncle, and the uncle said that he could take a small amount of lotus pods, and Bai Yi asked again, can you pick some lotus pods? The uncle said that he could pick a small amount, and Bai Yi picked it after reconfirming

A few lotus canopies, as the boat shook slightly, the boat, stopped near the small island, and Bai Yi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the aquatic environment near the island.

The common aquatic plants that were not seen in front of them were found near the small islands, and there were several of them.

Bai Yi said to the uncle, "Uncle, can I take a piece of grass away?" Bai Yi looked at the gourd, and wanted to take one away to see how much it was different from what was recorded in the book.

"You bring it, no one will say it." The uncle did not refuse this.

Bai Yi motioned to Uncle Hard to drive the boat forward a little, and then chose a seed with nuts even though it had passed the fruiting period for a month.

Looking at the whole plant with spikes, the white clothes are just careful pickers of nuts.

Looking at the fruits that were similar to lotus seeds, Bai Yi only took a few seeds and stopped, because there were more kernels in a fruit than the lotus seeds in a lotus pod.

"Xiaoyi, what is this? How does it look like a chicken head? Wang Dahai asked Baiyi.

"This is the fruit of the gourd, also called the chicken head fruit, the chicken head fruit" Bai Yi picked the fruit, was in a happy mood, and motioned to the uncle to go around the small island, and after a circle, Bai Yi made several aquatic plants.

Because he asked the uncle for the reason, Bai Yi and Wang Dahai even worked together to pull up a reed root from the shallow water.

The only pity is that you can't go to the island, see this white clothes to express regret but also lucky, fortunately there are few people here, although the natural environment has been destroyed, but in the end began to pay attention to environmental protection, in the long run, the natural environment is getting better and better, maybe the previous aquatic protected animals will come back again.

On the shore, Bai Yi motioned to Wang Dahai to pay, and even gave some more money to count as the uncle's hard work.

Wang Dahai went to the nearby commissary early to find a cardboard box, and waited until Bai Yi came over and signaled to put everything in the box.

Bai Yi put all the medicinal materials he picked in, and he couldn't help but regret when he was satisfied.

Shaking his head, he said, "The most common white grass root has not been found. ”

"Where does the white grass root grow?" Seeing this, Wang Dahai couldn't help but ask.

"It's very ordinary, likes sunlight and is drought tolerant, and medicinal herbs can be seen everywhere." Bai Yi said.

However, the fields here have been divided, and even the small ditches are covered with cement, which is not very good for water retention and water conservation in hot weather.

On the contrary, when the sun is big, the evaporation of water is greater.

"It's good to have so many harvests, especially the seeds, and the biggest harvest this time is it, although it has been popularized in artificial breeding." Bai Yi said.

"Even if it is an ordinary cultivated gourd, the price of a pound of dried gourd kernel is about 20-100 yuan, because of the problem of quality (medicinal properties), the price fluctuates greatly." Bai Yi said and raised the gourd in his hand.

"We should be regarded as wild seeds, and the price is naturally more expensive." After speaking, Bai Yi motioned for Wang Dahai to go back. The two drove back to the hotel because there was an extra suitcase.

I had no choice but to put the boxes at the front desk for safekeeping, and after washing, the two walked out of the hotel one after another, just going to the restaurant where I had dinner at noon.

When you come to the restaurant, it is bustling inside, after all, it is time to eat, and many people who can't cook, or don't want to cook, will naturally choose a restaurant with affordable and delicious meals.

As soon as he stepped into the store, he saw Xiaoyu find Bai Yi and Wang Dahai. Xiao Yu said hello to his parents and went over to greet Bai Yi and Wang Dahai.

"Thank you, big brother, for helping me heal at noon." Xiao Yu was a little shy and his face was a little red, but he still looked directly into the eyes of the white clothes and said.

"Your own illness is not serious, otherwise you would have gone to the hospital by now. Okay, let's eat, you go and greet the guests yourself. Bai Yi waved his hand to show that he didn't need to thank him.

"Well, we reserved a table for the two big brothers." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he guided Bai Yi and Wang Dahai into a small private room, and there was actually an air conditioner inside.

The frosted curtain separates the view from the outside lobby, so that the outside can be seen clearly, and the outside can only see the inside blurred.

"Okay, thank you. Just stir-fry two dishes for us and a bowl of soup. Bai Yi had to let Xiaoyu go out again to greet the guests.

ps I can't write that the medicinal value of the root of the gourd and the reed root is already edible, so I will write it in the next chapter.
