Chapter 279: Raw Lotus Root Chips

After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!

Lu Yu asked Yan Xiding to come over with a shovel and said that he would pry the ice ashore before the broken ice re-solidified into a whole piece.

Yan Xiding said: "We have all forgotten, Brother Da Yu, you are so powerful, can't you burn these ice cubes?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid I'll dry up all the pool water." Lu Yu called out to Xi Ding, and went back to the house to get a shovel. The shovel plunged into a crack in the ice and lifted it up with all its might.

The four of them only heard a "pop" sound, and the shovel handle of the shovel in Lu Yu's hand broke into two pieces in response, and it was still inserted in the ice cracks like the shovel body.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "I used my strength too much, but I didn't do it well." Throwing away the half of the shovel handle in his hand, Lu Yu grabbed the shovel handle that was inserted in the ice, and then used the spade hard.

This time, the handle of the spade was not broken, and everyone saw a huge piece of ice two or three feet square being pried up, making a few spins in the air, and then crashing into the mountain wall by the pool, knocking down a piece of broken soil. Yan Xiding joked and said don't trample on the back mountain.

This piece of ice is not only huge, but also very thick, it looks like it weighs thousands of catties, and it was actually easily flown up by Lu Yu's spade, and the half of the shovel was not broken again.

There was a large piece of ice missing from the pool, revealing part of the bottom of the pool, and there was indeed a shallow puddle of shaking water at the bottom, and what surprised the four of them even more was that there were still fish at the bottom of the water.

Lu Yu felt that something was wrong, there was water and fish at the bottom of the pool under the thick ice, but now that the ice had been revealed, the remaining little water would definitely be frozen soon, and the few fish inside would not survive.

Yan Xiding didn't care, saying that he would first catch the fish in the pond, remove all the ice, and then prepare to dig the lotus root.

So Lu Yu picked up the remaining pieces of large and thick ice to the shore of the pool, and at this time, the puddle of water at the bottom of the pool was about to freeze.

Lu Yu took off his shoes and was about to go down to the pond to catch fish. But Yan Xi'an shouted: "Uncle, the water is so cold, forget it." ”

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of fish, what am I afraid of?" Lu Yuwu walked down the pool by himself, the muddy water at the bottom of the pool was indeed cold and biting, and as soon as he stepped into it, he couldn't help but shiver.

"You can get fish on the shore, but you have to go into the water, really."

"The bottom of the pool was full of mud, and I soiled the floor." Lu Yu had already walked to the bottom of the pool and stepped on the bottom of the pool barefoot, trying to see if he could step on the lotus root. However, the lotus root is still deep in the mud, so you have to dig it with a shovel.

Lu Yu bent down and reached out to touch the water, and easily grabbed a big fish and threw it on the edge of the pond - one after another, fish were thrown ashore.

Lu Yu knew that the pool would soon be frozen, and even if these fish didn't get it, they wouldn't survive.

The pool is not big, and there is not much flowing water, but in the quagmire, there are actually eight or nine fish, all of them are not small, and I don't know how they survived.

All the fish in the water were picked up, and there was already a layer of thin ice in the quagmire, Lu Yu dripped, broke the thin ice, and continued to touch it for a while, and when he found that there were no fish in the water, Lu Yu asked Yan Xi'an to bring the half-cut spade over.

At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Yan also came over, and Mrs. Yan said, "Lu Yu, it's cold in the water, hurry up." ”

"Uncle come up, our family is not short of food, what kind of lotus root to dig!"

Yan Jibai glared at his son and said, "It's Xiding who wants to eat lotus root, it's okay all day, think of some crooked ideas." He said to Lu Yu again: "Lu Yu come up, the weather is too cold, beware of catching a cold." ”

"It's okay, it's not cold." Lu Yu smiled, pointed to the muddy water under his feet and said, "Look, this water is not cold, it's still a little hot." ”

Yan Jibai and the others looked at Lu Yu's feet, and then they were stunned to find that the muddy water in the pool was steaming outside.

Although they didn't know what Lu Yu had done, several people were relieved, knowing that even if the weather was cold and the water was cold, it would not freeze Lu Yu at all. Yan Xiding even said: "Brother Da Yu, don't make the water too hot, I'm afraid that you will cook all the lotus root below." ”

Lu Yu hadn't dug up lotus roots, but he also knew what was going on. The shovel with a broken handle seemed to be more convenient to use, so Lu Yu first surrounded the edge of the pool with mud to build a small pool, and then introduced the pool of stagnant water under his feet into the small pool. With Lu Yu's current cultivation, of course, there is no need to hold an iron basin and a copper basin to scoop it one by one, just a thought, and the small pool of water will automatically be poured into the small pool.

The water was gone, Lu Yu began to dig the mud with a shovel again, first the mud, and the mud was slightly drier under the mud, he had no experience in digging lotus roots, so he only knew how to dig a piece under his feet, and soon, there was a small deep hole around him, and he didn't even see half of the lotus root in the hole.

"Brother Da Yu, you can't dig like this, you have to dig a big pit to see if there is a lotus root." Yan Xiding rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to take off his shoes and go into the water.

Lu Yu said: "Xiding, don't come down, I'll do it alone, if you don't worry, hehe, then guide me on the shore." ”

"Okay, I won't instruct you, I'll go wash these fish first, and you dig slowly." Yan Xiding also understood that it was not easy to wash fish on a cold day, so he volunteered to go.

Lu Yu took a step forward and began to dig again.

The weather seems to be warmer now than at the end of August, when it snowed at the beginning, but it is still unusually cold compared to September and October in the previous two years. Lu Yu dug the lotus root and concentrated on it, so he collected the spell, and the mudflats behind him were soon frozen.

Yan Jibai and Lan Shaofang both felt that it was a little cold outside, and when they entered the house, Yan Xi'an squatted by the pool and watched Lu Yu dig lotus roots.

After a while, suddenly Lu Yu stopped the shovel in his hand and said with a smile: "There is really a lotus root, I dug one." ”

"Yes! Get it up. Yan Xi'an was also very happy.

Lu Yu bent down and picked it up with his hand, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to take out a lotus root, only two sections, which were the two sections that were broken on the long lotus root.

The two lotus roots were very thick and plump, and they were thrown to the shore, and Lu Yu said: "This one is very big, and half of it is in the mud, I will get it now." He bent down again and continued to dig in the mire, and then the remaining half of the lotus root was also brought up.

Digging up one, Lu Yu came with confidence and continued to dig. With a shovel and even with his feet, by the time it was dark, Lu Yu had already dug up more than a dozen lotus roots. Each lotus root is thick and long, and it is very rich and beautiful when you look at it.

"Uncle, come up, don't dig today." Yan Xi'an felt the most sorry for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu thought for a while, but still walked ashore and said with a smile: "There are quite a lot of lotus roots in the pool, and there are quite a few of them." ”

"Yes, let's dig next time." Yan Xi'an looked at Lu Yu's muddy pair of bare feet with a cherished face, and said, "I'll go and bring some hot water, you wash your feet, and quickly put on your shoes." ”

Lu Yu shook his head and smiled: "Then don't worry, I can wash it now." After speaking, Lu Yu shook his fingers, and a stream of water flowed out of thin air and shot on his feet. The ability to use spiritual power to get water was already mastered by Lu Yu when he practiced it not long ago.

Yan Xi'an reached out and touched the water injection, and when she found that the water was warm, she nodded reassuringly.

Washing away the mud from his feet, Lu Yu put on his shoes and socks, and moved the lotus root back. The lotus root is stained with mud, and Lu Yu doesn't plan to wash the mud off now, it is said that this will keep the raw lotus root for a longer time.

Mrs. Yan had already cooked the rice, and the dish was made, which was two fish, one stewed and the other fried. Yan Xiding said that he wanted to eat some lotus root tonight, but now that the meal is ready and the fire in the stove is extinguished, he can only eat it tomorrow.

Lu Yu said: "What, isn't the lotus root raw enough to be eaten?" "Although he hadn't eaten it before, he knew about lotus roots.

"It seems that it can, then I'll wash two sections, cut them into slices, and we'll use them as dishes." Yan Xiding broke off the two rough lotus root knots, and once again volunteered to wash the lotus root and cut the lotus root.

When eating, Lu Yu found that the raw lotus root slices were really edible and delicious. The raw lotus root ice was sweet and crunchy, very chewy, and Lu Yu thought it was very delicious.

Lan Shaofang also thought that the taste was good, saying that it could be compared with the taste of water chestnut. But the four members of the Yan family said that raw lotus root is not as good as cooked lotus, whether it is fried, fried or boiled, cooked lotus root is more delicious.

Lu Yu was a little unconvinced, and thought: "Could it be that lotus root is the same as sweet potato, cucumber and tomato, some people like to eat cooked, and they prefer to eat raw?" ”

But no matter what, eating too much fatty fish, and then being able to eat a few sweet slices of fresh lotus root, is a beautiful thing that makes people feel comfortable. Yan Jibai exclaimed and said: "These lotus roots are really 'amazing', and they didn't freeze to death on such a cold day." ”

Yan Xiding said: "Maybe these lotus roots are dead, but what we eat is the 'corpse' of lotus roots." ”

Lu Yu was secretly amused and said, "I don't know, when next spring, when there is water in the pool, there will be no more lotus leaves and lotus flowers." ”

"There are lotus root seeds in the pond, and as long as it can warm up in spring, lotus leaves can burst out." Words are vain and broad-minded. It's just that no one knows if spring will return.

"That's good." Lu Yu didn't eat much and ate fish, he ate half of a plate of lotus root slices, and after eating a piece, he said again: "I'll send some to Lu Ming tomorrow, and I'll take a few fish." ”

Mrs. Yan said: "Send more to the past, I didn't do the two mandarin fish you two got back today, so send them over." ”

Lu Yu only then realized that the two on the table were grass carp, and there were indeed no mandarin fish, he glanced at Yan Xiding, who had a slight grievance on his face, and said, "Just bring one over, I don't know if they will do it." ”

"Just steam, Lu Ming's mother-in-law will definitely do it." Mrs. Yan asked again: "Old sister of the Zhang family, are you better now?" ”

"It's much better, and I don't cry all the time." Lu Yu couldn't help but think of Zhang Qiye, who had passed away not long ago, and his heart was slightly heavy.

"Alas, I have to be relieved, this day is not easy, but I still have to live it."

Lu Yu nodded, thinking: "The world is difficult, except for these people in my own family, no one in this world will have a good life." ”

In March, keep it updated. The year is over, and there is no rest.
