Li Erhu immediately laughed and said: "Ruoshu and I want to make lotus seeds and sell them, but the problem is that we have seen what the lotus seeds sold in the town look like, and we don't know how to make them." ”

Gu Ruoshu echoed with a smile: "Yes, sister-in-law, Erhu and I don't know at all, we only know how to grow lotus roots, or we learned it when we helped a rich family who planted lotus roots before." ”

Liang Luluo still just smiled.

Gu Ruohan was expressionless, but picked up the water at hand and took a sip.

Li Zijing couldn't cry or laugh: "It's called lotus seeds, naturally it's lotus seeds, aren't there a lot of grains in the lotus pod, what are those grains in the lotus pod?" Isn't it a lotus seed?"

Li Erhu said: "We know that many of the things in the lotus pod are lotus seeds, that is, the lotus seeds are different from the lotus seeds we see in the town, and we don't know how to turn the lotus seeds into the lotus seeds we see in the town." ”

Gu Ruoshu nodded again.

Li Zijing understood, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, it seems that you have only seen tender lotus seeds, but you have never seen fully ripe old lotus seeds." In fact, the lotus seeds sold in the town are fully ripe old lotus seeds, peel off the green lotus coat on the outside, you can also treat them as lotus seed skins, dried in the sun. As for what is the fully ripe old lotus seed, that is, the lotus canopy in your pond should be ripe after another ten days and a half to pick, and when the time comes, you will pick it one by one, peel out all the lotus seeds in the lotus canopy, and peel off the green clothes and dry them according to what I just said, and you will know if the lotus seeds sold in the town have changed like this. ”

Li Erhu, Gu Ruoshu, and Liang Luluo's eyes instantly lit up, and they were very happy.

Especially Li Erhu, he was very excited and said: "Is this how it has changed!?" Grandma, if the lotus seeds sold in the town really changed like this, you have done us a great favor again! ”

Gu Ruohan and Liang Luluo both commanded, saying that they really helped.

Liang Luluo also smiled: "This lotus pod, we originally planned to eat it like this, and if we can't finish it, we will let it rot, but we didn't think that my sister-in-law would let us sell lotus seeds to make money." ”

Li Zijing said with a smile: "You have a lot of lotus pods in the pond, but there are not many catties when they are dried, but as you always said before, it is better to earn a penny than to rot in the pond." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." All three of them echoed each other.

Li Zijing chatted with Li Erhu and them for a while before going home with Gu Ruohan.

Half a month later, Li Erhu and Gu Ruoshu picked the lotus canopy back according to Li Bauhinia's teaching, and the lotus seeds in the lotus pod were fully ripe, so they stripped off the lotus seeds and dried them in the sun. And the color and appearance of this lotus seed are really the same as the lotus seeds sold in the town.

The lotus pod in a pond only harvested more than 20 catties of dried lotus seeds.

Fortunately, lotus seeds are very expensive, they can be sold for sixty wen a catty, and there are people in the town who want them, so Li Erhu and Gu Ruoshu are not worried about not being able to sell them, as soon as they take their more than 20 catties of lotus seeds to the town to sell, they are bought by the shopkeeper of a pharmacy, and lotus seeds can be used in medicine.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy also saw that none of their lotus seeds were bad, and all of them were of the best quality, and asked them to take them directly to the pharmacy and sell them to him if they had lotus seeds in the future.

In the end, Li Erhu and Gu Ruoshu were each given 700 yuan for selling this lotus seed.
