"How strange is the appearance of this seedling?" Pei Pei said as he looked at the knot-like slender object that Gangu Yu had taken out, and stuck out his tongue.

"Crops planted in the water naturally have to adapt to the environment in the water!" said Gangu Yu smiled lightly, "This is a lotus root, a plant that can be planted in the silt at the bottom of the lake." You see, the middle knots of this lotus root can take root when they face down, and branches and leaves can grow when they face up, and the main edible part that we are going to harvest is this underground stem part after it grows and expands. ”

Because although lotus seeds have the ability to reproduce, the seed mutation rate is extremely high, so both seed lotus and vegetable root are used to sow seeds. The water depth at the edge of the lake is one to two feet, and the deep area in the middle is more than three feet deep, and the lowered water level is just right for lotus root planting, and the lotus root taken out by Ganguyu is also a lake root variety.

Given that there was still a group of foolish people watching from the sidelines, Gangu Yu did not explain too much to Pei Pei and Xiao An, nor did he call anyone to help, but chose a high-consumption way to start the cultivation of lotus roots.

He went to the shore of the lake alone, buried a bunch of lotus roots in the shallow mud, and then controlled the water and soil elements to push these lotus roots to all parts of the lake!

Panshou Lake has accumulated over the years, and the bottom of the lake is rich in silt, and Ganguyu has even found a lot of high-quality peat soil here. If it weren't for Xiao An's recent reclamation of terraced fields, he called on the townspeople to dig up a lot of silt to improve the soil quality in the mountains, I am afraid that the silt layer here would be a little thicker. However, such a fertile silt layer saves the time of fertilization in Gangu rain.

Planting lotus root usually needs to be planted obliquely, the head of the lotus root is three to four inches deep into the soil, and the knot tip is slightly warped out to form a slight slope with the bottom plane of the lake, which can promote germination. The method used to drain the lotus root is to arrange the lotus roots in opposite rows. This will allow the whip to be evenly distributed and avoid crowding. The lotus root heads on all sides are oriented towards the center of the lake, so that the lotus root can grow in the direction of the center of the lake as much as possible.

After planting a lotus root near the shore of Panshou Lake, Gangu Yu first silently took out a tomato and nibbled on it in a few bites, and then began to chant about the growth of all things.

That's right, in order to let the residents of Panshou Town, who are watching from the sidelines, fully see the power of nature. Gangu Yu chose to sing out loud. Not only did he chant the mantra of the growth of all things as beautifully as possible, but he also added some additional special effects.

For a moment, the sparkling surface of the Panshou Lake was like a rain of emerald green sacred tree leaves, which stunned the residents of Panshou Town, who had never seen much of the world, and the sound of gasping came from the direction where they were.

However, Pei Pei and Xiao An glanced at each other, looking a little crying and laughing. Gangu Yu's additional method is of no use at all except for the light effect, but it is extremely mana-intensive. However, they could also vaguely guess Ganguyu's intentions, and they were also embarrassed in their hearts.

"Huh. That's on the lake?!" exclaimed a sharp-eyed young man who suddenly pointed to the surface of the lake. Everyone looked at it and found that the surface of the lake had changed.

At first, like the floating head of a fish, some small dots poked out of the water, and then everyone found that they were tender white ridges. The tip of the rib quickly unfolded from the involution to a bright green disc-shaped lotus leaf, floating on the surface of the lake. This is the leaf that is originally produced by the terminal bud, which is small and thin, and is called a money leaf. It is also known as money money.

The lotus leaf that spreads out from the ridge is slightly larger, but also floats on the water. It is called floating leaves. After the ribbed branches break through the water, the lotus leaves that spread out stand on the surface of the lake, and these are the so-called standing leaves.

At first, the post-born leaves are larger and taller than the early-born, rising in a stepped pattern. Later, careful people found that there were also erect leaves that gradually became shorter and smaller, forming an obvious descending step standing leaf group.

Lotus leaves are layered on top of each other. It was patchworked, and soon the lake was shaded by a sea of emerald green. The lake breeze blows, and the lotus leaves sway with the wind, which is accompanied by the light and shadow effects deliberately made by Gangu Yu. It is just like a group of girls in blue gauze dancing lightly.

At this moment, flower bones stretched out of the lake, poked their heads out from among the lotus leaves, and slowly bloomed. The pink petals are the most expressive finishing touch in this blue color, which instantly gives new life to the lotus pond. In the center of the petals, there are some golden stamens, and the small yellow lotus in the middle of the flower is clustered, exuding a sweet fragrance like honey.

"Mother Nature is above, is this the flower of the lotus root? It's really beautiful!" Pei Pei said in a low voice as he looked at the lotus flowers that kept emerging from among the lotus leaves.

In fact, the lotus flowers that bloom from the vegetable root are not the most numerous, nor are they the most beautiful, they are inferior to the lotus flowers used for special ornamentation, but they are enough to amaze everyone present. Even the most unpolite prickly head spoke before, at this time, he couldn't help but immerse himself in this beautiful picture of red flowers and green leaves.

At the end of the vertical leaf descending ladder, a lotus leaf that is larger than the previous old leaf suddenly grows, which is a vertical leaf that marks the formation of a new lotus root, and is generally called a hind leaf. Soon in front of the back leaves, there is a lotus leaf with a small stalk and a short stem, and the back of the leaf is reddish, and the leaf is thick, rolled but not expanded, which is the terminal leaf that marks the new lotus root in the mud.

After the termination leaf appeared, Gangu Yu stopped the growth of all things, exhaled secretly, and walked in the direction of Peipei Xiao'an and the residents of Panshou Town. While maintaining the growth of all things, special effects must be added, and Rao is a little reluctant with the strength of his magic power.

He casually threw two tomatoes to the second daughter, and he pretended to nibble on one easily, looked at the people in Panshou Town and raised his eyebrows: "How? As long as Mother Nature is willing, there is no place in the entire salty continent where her brilliance cannot shine." You don't have much land here, but even in the middle of this lake, Mother Nature can give you plenty of food. Of course, she doesn't give favors to the hypocrites. ”

Seeing Ganguyu's hand, most of the people in Panshu Town already believed in it, but some people still choked and said: "We only saw that green leaf and red flower, which is beautiful enough, but what about the fruit? Can the fruit of this plant really be eaten?"

"Naturally, I can eat it myself later. However, this piece of lotus root is indeed not yet harvested. Gangu Yu laughed a little contemptuously, and then said sharply, "Now I need you to make a statement, if the lotus root in the lake can solve your satiety problem, then should you sincerely believe in Mother Nature and listen to all her teachings?"

After a moment of silence, a young man forced himself to say, "What if we don't agree?"

"Then this lotus root is planted by me, then I naturally want to take them away, and from now on this land will have nothing to do with us. ”

Gangu Yu spread his hands and said: "In fact, without the guidance of Mother Nature, even if I leave this lotus field here, you people who have no faith are doomed to nothing." Mother Nature will take back her gifts, and will not cheapen those who doubt her. So, now it's your turn to make a choice. (To be continued.) )
