When the guests next to them heard the words "seven-hole lotus", they were a little puzzled.

"Is there anything special about the number of holes in the lotus root?"

Li Xianyu nodded and said, "It's indeed a bit exquisite." When you usually eat lotus root, do you pay attention to how many holes there are in the lotus root? ”

The guests shook their heads.

They know that there are many holes in the lotus root, but they really haven't counted how many holes there are.

Li Xianyu continued: "Generally speaking, lotus root has seven holes and nine holes. There is no difference between these two types of lotus root in terms of nutritional value. However, there is a big difference in the application of eating methods and tastes. ”

"Huh?"

It was the first time the guests had heard of this statement. They have asked Li Xianyu for advice, what is the difference?

Li Xianyu said: "First of all, the seven-hole lotus root. This lotus root has a high starch content and low moisture content, and it will have a brushing effect after cutting. It is also called pink lotus.

The nine-hole lotus root has low starch content and high moisture, making it crisp to eat. That's why it's also called crispy lotus.

The taste of seven-hole lotus root is relatively soft and sweet, and it is suitable for stewing soup or steaming.

The nine-hole lotus root tastes crisp and delicious, and is suitable for making hot pot, stir-fried or cold salad.

In addition, the nine-hole lotus root can be eaten raw. It tastes sweet, crispy, tender and refreshing.

Seven-hole lotus root, on the other hand, is not suitable for raw consumption. Because it tastes astringent, it is not delicious. ”

After hearing this, the guests all had a sense of sudden realization and enlightenment.

It turns out that lotus root has such a special taste. No wonder they usually have a feeling of "I bought a good lotus root this time" or "I didn't buy a good lotus root this time".

I usually buy lotus root for stewed soup, or stir-fried and the like, which is always delicious sometimes and sometimes not delicious.

I only thought it was a problem with the quality of lotus root.

Now I know that when it doesn't taste good, it's likely that I bought the wrong one.

I wanted to stew soup, so I bought a nine-hole lotus root. When I wanted to stir-fry, I bought a seven-hole lotus root.

After the enlightenment, the guests were pleasantly surprised.

In this way, you will not buy the wrong lotus root in the future.

However, how to distinguish when buying?

You can't let the boss cut the lotus root and count the holes, right?

Li Xianyu said: "It can be judged by appearance. Generally speaking, the seven-hole lotus root is relatively thick and short. And the skin is rough, dull, and yellowish in color.

The nine-hole lotus root is more slender, the skin is smooth and clean, and the color is lighter. ”

In this way, the difference between the two kinds of lotus root in appearance is still relatively obvious.

In addition to being overjoyed, the guests expressed to Li Xianyu that they had gained a long knowledge. I would like to express my gratitude to Li Xianyu.

Li Xianyu waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

At this time, Liu Jianshu in the field had already washed the lotus root that had just been picked.

Liu Jianshu said earlier that the lotus roots in this field are basically seven-hole lotus roots.

When the guests took a look, sure enough, the lotus root was relatively thick and short, and the skin was rough.

This lotus root is suitable for taking back to stew soup, or steaming and eating.

So, the guests asked Liu Jianshu if the lotus root was sold?

The guests weren't going to buy it, they were just here to see the oddities.

If you want to eat something like lotus root, you can go back and buy it at the market.

But now, customers are eager to buy something here.

Liu Jianshu originally planned to pick a little lotus root and go back to eat it himself, but now the guests want to buy it, so it will definitely be sold!

So, Liu Jianshu said that he wanted to sell. If it's not enough, he picks more.

Of course it is not enough.

So, Liu Jianshu went down to the field again and continued to pick lotus roots.

After chatting with the guests for a while, Li Xianyu said goodbye and left.

Keep hanging out.

After walking for a while, he saw Ling Xiaoyue in front.

The girl was in front of a bush of prickly pear trees, picking prickly pears and eating them.

By August, the prickly pears are also ripening.

This is a relatively common wild fruit in rural areas.

It is also called sending spring back, and it is the fruit of the silk reeling flower.

The taste is sour and astringent, and it cannot be said to be delicious. But it always makes people want to pick one and eat it from time to time.

It's amazing.

Li Xianyu stepped forward. After Ling Xiaoyue saw Li Xianyu, she said, "Brother, do you want to eat one?" ”

Li Xianyu nodded, "Eat one." ”

Ling Xiaoyue handed the one she had just picked in her hand to Li Xianyu.

Li Xianyu took it.

The fruit is yellowish-brown, oblate and spherical, 1.5 cm in diameter to about 2 cm, and covered with thorns.

However, the thorns are not too hard and can be removed by hand.

After removing the thorns, Li Xianyu put the fruit in his mouth and took a small bite.

The flesh is not thick, and there are many seeds in it.

After chewing a few times, the taste is sour, but it is very special.

It's not delicious, but I can't help but want to eat more.

This stuff has a lot of nutritional value. It has a higher nutritional value than many famous fruits.

In addition, it has an appetizing effect. When you have a bad appetite, eat one of these things and keep your appetite open.

After Li Xianyu finished eating one, he picked another one to eat.

"Mr. Xianyu, can we eat this prickly pear?" A voice came from behind him.

Li Xianyu turned around, there were several girls, all of whom were guests.

Li Xianyu smiled: "Of course you can." This is a wild fruit, not artificially grown, you can eat it as you please. ”

"That's great!" Several girls were very pleased.

Then they all went to pick fruit and eat it.

The plant is full of thorns, so you need to be careful when picking them.

The girls each pluck one off, remove the thorns, and put it in their mouths to eat.

"Wow! That's the taste. Sour and astringent, a very special taste. ”

"This is the first prickly pear I ate this year, and I have to commemorate it."

"Yes, yes, I want to commemorate it too."

The girls took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

And what they hope for most is, of course, to take a photo with Li Xianyu.

They opened their mouths a little shyly and asked Li Xianyu if they could take a photo together?

Li Xianyu smiled and said yes.

This made the girls very excited, so they took a selfie with Li Xianyu in turn, and then posted it to Moments.

Everyone was satisfied.

Then a girl said: "Mr. Xianyu, I read the latest story of "Journey to the West", saying that Yuhua Prefecture is not far from Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple. Does this mean that "Journey to the West" is nearing the end and is about to end? ”

"Oh?" Li Xianyu smiled, "Do you also watch "Journey to the West"? ”

The girl nodded and said, "Look! It's beautiful. I've been watching it all the time. ”

"We're all watching, too." The rest of the girls said so.

This made Li Xianyu very happy. Unexpectedly, these girls are all readers of "Journey to the West".

It's a pity that "Journey to the West" is indeed coming to an end.

Li Xianyu said: "There is no mistake. "Journey to the West" is nearing the end and is about to end. ”

Several girls nodded. They've guessed it.

However, at this time, listening to Li Xianyu say it himself, I still felt very regretful.

They haven't seen it yet.

Why don't you write a little longer?

Stories like this could have been written much longer.

"Mr. Xianyu, can't you write a little longer? Add more monsters in and the story will be long. Another girl asked.

Li Xianyu smiled slightly and said, "No." "Journey to the West" has enough stories with so many stories. Although it is true that it could have been written much longer, even much longer. But there's no need for that. ”

The girls were a little disappointed.

However, since Li Xianyu has already decided, there is no way.

It can only be said that it is a pity.
