"That's right, uncle, it's easy to dig, it'll be fine all at once, and it won't delay too much time", Qiao Le dug just now, and also came over to help Hua Banxia speak.

"Hehe, Cheng, Ming'er will dig it", what else can Qiao Da say, Banxia and Qingqing, the two female babies, why can't they work in the field, it's not bad to find something to relieve boredom.

The sun has completely set, and the men of the Qiao family are all pinching this point to call it a day and go home, taking advantage of the time from sunset to dark, go home to eat, bath and sleep, the family is poor, how can there be an oil lamp for you to burn at night.

Hua Banxia couldn't take so many lotus roots, so he simply waited for Qiao Da and them to finish work and then go back together. Waiting for them to spend half a summer during this time, they went around the neighborhood, this land here is too dry, it is all sand and gravel, anyway, it is not suitable for growing food.

But I can't think of what to plant for a while, when I was a child, I was in the countryside with my grandparents, and I also followed my grandfather to reclaim the barren mountain, at that time my grandfather planted fruit trees, but then my grandfather couldn't wait for the fruit trees to harvest and left, and he was taken to the underground intelligence bureau, and the barren mountain never went again.

"Mother, Qingqing, look what we bring back", Qiao Le is the only one who followed Hua Banxia to dig out the lotus root from the mud today, so he was arrogant all the way to show off his merits with Qiao Zheng and them, no, before he entered the gate of the hospital, he pulled his throat and told Tian Fuzhen and them at home.

Hua Qingqing was a sharp-eyed child, and from a distance, she saw Hua Banxia and them coming back, and they were waiting at the gate of the courtyard, Qiao Le and Hua Qingqing were noisy together, and they immediately chattered.

Hua Qingqing watched Qiao Le holding his clothes, ran to him with a fart, stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to see. Although the Qiao family can't eat enough all year round, their height is not affected at all, and they are growing up, so it's no wonder that Hua Qingqing can't see it.

Tian Fu was really cooking in the kitchen and couldn't leave, and Chen Jiahua, who had been taking care of Qiao Zheng in the house, walked out, "Shiro, what good things did you bring?"

"Yes, yes, fourth brother, what is this", Hua Qingqing only saw that thing, but she didn't know what it was.

Qiao Le proudly put the lotus root in his pocket on the dustpan in the yard, and slowly shook the lotus root and rolled into the dustpan, "This is called lotus root, it is a delicious thing that I and Banxia dug up."

"Dig it up? Can you still eat? Chen Jiahua picked up a lotus root from the dustpan, looked east and west and didn't see anything, reached out and handed the lotus root to Qiao Le, and confirmed it to Qiao Le again.

Qiao Le scratched his head embarrassedly, he was too involved in being fat, but he couldn't even say this thing, "This was discovered by my cousin, you asked her", Qiao Le pulled Hua Banxia in front of him.

Hua Banxia was still thinking about what to eat tonight, and was suddenly a little frightened when he was pulled over by Qiao Le, looking at Chen Jiahua's eager inquiring eyes, and said with a smile, "Uncle, isn't there a place by the river in our village that has collapsed, and the water splash growing on it is also called a lotus, which is also a kind of food, but its fruit is stuck in the mud, so you didn't find it."

"What's the matter, can you still grow in the mud when you eat?" Chen Jiahua couldn't believe it, didn't all the things he ate grow on the ground, when would he be able to grow things underground.

Hua Banxia raised his eyebrows, don't people here know that things can grow underground? "yes, don't turnips also grow in the ground?" Hua Banxia jokingly said that it was not strange for them to think that something grew underground.

But Chen Jiahua is indeed a dead eye, "How can it be the same, that radish grows half of its body on the top, and the few small whiskers on the butt are radish roots, and the radish we eat is at most a radish body."

Hua Banxia couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, and she didn't know how to explain it to them, after all, not every era has biology in teaching.

"This is also what I learned in the infirmary, many of the medicines in the infirmary are grown underground, we haven't had the opportunity to see them before, but it doesn't mean that there are none, right?" , Hua Banxia lies without blushing, but there is still some drumming in his heart, the countryman is simple and simple, and it is easy to say, if you really meet someone who understands, then you can't stand this little cleverness.

"Yo, really, that's... What's the hell about that? "Chen Jiahua doesn't doubt him, what the doctor said must be true.

"There are many ways to eat this thing, and the second aunt is still cooking, right? I'm going to help the second uncle cook, the second uncle is tired for a day, you go and rest", Hua Banxia took the basket of lotus roots into the kitchen.

"Yo, this thing is what you dug up", Tian Fuzhen had already heard what they said outside in the kitchen, and as soon as Hua Banxia came in, Tian Fuzhen came forward to take a look.

"Yes, second uncle", Hua Banxia put the dustpan on the ground, picked up the basin and scooped up the water to prepare to wash the lotus, "Second uncle, are the bones left at noon still stewed?" ”

Because it has been washed once by the river, Hua Banxia just rushed this time, took five large pieces of hob cutting on the board, and added it to the soup, and the eleven people in the family had enough to eat in five sections.

Hua Banxia put the lotus root used for stewed soup under the lid and looked at the kitchen, it was really... It's easy! There were only two crockpots in the kitchen, one for oil and one for salt, and nothing else.

"Okay, it seems that it can only be fried and cold", Hua Banxia still wanted to wrap eggs in a fried lotus root box, but with this bit of oil in the crockpot, he couldn't even fry the lotus root box.

Hua Banxia cut the remaining lotus root into dices and slices, and prepared to stir-fry the lotus root and cold lotus root slices, just when Tian Fu's wotou was steamed well, Hua Banxia put another small wok, and washed it with water.

Put a scoop of water into the pot again, and the water in the pot will boil after a while, and take a half-summer to blanch the lotus root slices in the pot, and quickly pick them up and put them on the plate.

"Second uncle, can you go outside and get a few red peppers to chop for me", Tian Fuzhen has been helping to watch the fire in the house, but the seasoning of this cold salad is not only spicy, but also a little sour, Hua Banxia can only find an excuse to let Tian Fuzhen go out, and secretly go to the space to get some small kumquats.

"Cheng, you wait", although Hua Banxia is a junior, Tian Fuzhen has no intention of being upset by the junior.

As soon as Tian Fuzhen went out, Hua Banxia closed his eyes, and immediately changed the scene in front of him, Hua Banxia quickly found the small kumquat tree planted next to the bamboo garden, and conjured up a few kumquat trees on his hand after receiving a few of them.

Hua Banxia specially picked a few green and yellow skins, so that the fruit is not too sweet or too sour, and it is just right to use it as a cold salad.

Hua Banxia found a small bowl, neatly cut a few kumquats, and squeezed the juice into the bowl with his hand.
