In the face of Gangu Yu's questioning, Wang Taigong was the first to turn around and look at the rest of the townspeople: "No matter how you look at the old decay now, but you have also seen the power of the Mother of Nature, and the old decay is willing to sincerely believe in the Mother of Nature!"

However, by this time, his credibility had been greatly damaged, and some townspeople had openly shown disdain on their faces for his words. But regardless of their attitude towards the prince, the "brilliance of Mother Nature" displayed by Gangu Yu is real. Looking at the lotus flowers on the shore of the lake, the eyes of this group of people began to flash with hesitation.

After a long time, a stout middle-aged man finally stood up: "If this plant planted in the Panshou Lake can really feed us, then we sincerely believe in Mother Nature and listen to her teachings." But if not, we hope that you will never be welcome in the town, please leave immediately, and don't interfere in the affairs of our town!"

"It's a deal!" Gan Guyu nodded and continued, "But if you still have bad intentions after believing in Mother Nature, Mother Nature will definitely punish you and make you nothing! ”

When Gan Guyu said this, he faintly emitted some magic fluctuations, which made the group of ordinary people in front of him tremble physically and mentally, and engraved his words in his mind. The middle-aged man only felt a tingling in his back spine, and only after a long time did he say strongly: "We naturally know!"

Gangu Yu nodded, secretly felt the extent of his mana recovery, and turned around to walk towards the shore of Panshu Lake again.

One of the reasons why he stopped the growth of all things just now was that his mana was about to run out, and he urgently needed to stop and rest and recover. If he collapsed due to lack of mana in the process of pretending to beep birth, then his face would be lost. I guess if Mother Nature really knew. At that time, you will also be crazy about what Gangu Rain has done, right?

So Gangu Yu stopped decisively, and while provoking the townspeople who wanted to harvest the town, he ate tomatoes to recover his state. But until this time, his mana had not returned to its ideal state. In order to delay time, Gangu Yu had an idea and simply picked the lotus leaves first.

Lotus leaves can generally be picked in summer and autumn. It has the effect of dissipating heat and dampness, dispersing stasis and stopping bleeding, and is a rare dietary therapy material for the treatment of summer heat and thirst, headache and dizziness. When you don't have much appetite in the hot summer, if you can drink two bowls of cold lotus leaf porridge, it is definitely an excellent enjoyment.

Lotus leaves can be used fresh, or fresh lotus leaves can be used. If you can't use it, you can fold it when it is dry, and then fully dry it for preservation. Lotus leaf tea made with lotus leaves with rose, wolfberry, hawthorn, cassia and other ingredients. It also has the effect of detoxification and slimming.

In order not to hinder the photosynthesis rate of the lotus root, Gangu Yu only picked a small number of lotus leaves and stopped. Generally speaking, the leaves and terminal leaves are used as the coordinates of the lotus root in the mud, and they must not be picked indiscriminately. Although he had the ability to cheat, he chose to respect this agricultural practice.

By the way, Gangu rain also removed some dead branches and rotten leaves, and buried them in the silt at the bottom of the lake to make fertilizer. Also because of his perceptual skills, he was not worried about hurting the tender lotus root in the mud.

In addition to this, he also picked a few beautiful lotus flowers, as well as a few lotus flowers. Gifted Pei Pei and Xiao An to play, which made the two daughters very happy. Sniff the lotus flowers up close. The sweet honey-like floral scent is truly intoxicating. And the lotus seeds in the lotus pod also made the second daughter feel very interesting.

Whether it is picking lotus leaves or lotus flowers of vegetable roots, there is a detail that needs to be paid attention to, that is, it is best not to let raw water pass through the section and dip into the lotus root nodes along the stem, so as to avoid rotten lotus roots.

Lotus flowers have a strong ability to compete for nutrients. Therefore, lotus root farmers often bend the lotus flowers but do not break them to achieve the purpose of high yield. Ganguyu's approach at this time is similar: after picking the flowers and leaves, they are bent again on the stem to close the section.

After such a toss. Everyone in Panshou Town was a little impatient, and Ganguyu, who had recovered to his ideal state, continued to work.

If the need to delay the recovery of mana was one of the reasons why Gangu Yu stopped the growth of all things before, then another important reason for him to stop was that now the lotus root stop leaves have appeared, marking the beginning of lotus root formation, and it is necessary to apply a chase lotus root fertilizer.

The growth period of lotus root is relatively long, and the amount of fertilizer required is very large. If the lotus root is planted in the shallow water lotus root field or rice field sorted out by hand, even if there is fish manure residue bait to provide a certain fertility, it is not enough to not only apply nearly seventy percent of the nutrients in the life of the lotus root when applying basal fertilizer, but also need to carry out about three top dressing in the process of its growth.

Ganguyu grows lotus root in Panshou Lake, relying on the fertile silt deposited at the bottom of the lake for many years, which saves the cumbersome need to reapply base fertilizer. Of the three topdressings, the first should have been done when the standing leaves appeared, and the second time when the fifth to sixth leaves appeared. Ganguyu omitted these two top dressings, and it was not until the end leaves appeared at this time that it was decided to apply a top dressing for the sake of insurance.

In the deep-water lotus root field such as the lake, the drainage and irrigation is not convenient, and the fertilizer is also easy to lose, so the liquid fertilizer can not be directly applied, and the fixed fertilizer method should be adopted, that is, the farmhouse fertilizer or green grass and green manure should be reapplied and buried in the mud.

Fertilization in lakes generally does not use chemical fertilizers or uses less chemical fertilizers, especially phosphate fertilizers, which may cause eutrophication of water bodies, and should be used with caution. When using chemical fertilizer for top dressing, the chemical fertilizer should be fully mixed with river mud to make a fertilizer mud ball, and then applied to the lotus root field.

Relying on the method of controlling the elements to complete the fertilization work, Gangu Yu activated a scroll of the growth of all things, and continued to give birth with his light and shadow effects. The lotus flowers began to wither gradually, the lotus pods slowly expanded, and the lotus roots at the bottom of the lake also entered the harvest period.

The harvest period of lotus root is long, if it grows naturally, it is better to harvest early-maturing varieties at the end of July and early August, and late-maturing varieties are mostly harvested in September and October. In lotus root fields with deep water levels such as Panshou Lake, the ground temperature drops slowly, so the harvest can be postponed for about half a month to prolong the growth period and increase yield.

The lotus root harvested before the beginning of autumn in early August is called tender lotus root, which contains more sugar and water, and less starch, so it can be used as a raw fruit. The lotus root harvested after the beginning of autumn is called old lotus root, which is ripe well, has high starch content, and should be used as cooked vegetables. If the lotus leaves are all dried up, the lotus root in the mud is fully ripe and the starch content is the highest, so the lotus root is suitable for making lotus root powder.

Gangu Yu observed the changes in the state of the lotus leaves, and estimated that the lotus root at the bottom of the lake had entered the stage of old lotus root, so he stopped giving birth. Next, it's time to harvest the lotus roots. (To be continued.) )
