Chapter 28: The Lotus Root Is Found

When Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui went out, they really carried two burning sticks in their hands, but the sticks that were only the thickness of fingers made Xia Zhi shake his head.

This stick is not to mention beating a wolf, even if it hits a chicken, it will be broken.

Who can you protect with this thing?

Sure enough, when the two of them saw the two bowl-thick sticks in Liu Qianjin's hands, their faces turned red all of a sudden.

They also did not expect that such a stick could be used as a weapon.

Compared with other people's, it has become a piece of cake, and there is no way to compare.

"Take a look on the road for a while, if you can meet a suitable hand, find two for you, put it behind the door on weekdays, and you can top the door at night when you have nothing to do, and you can usually defend yourself."

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui nodded hurriedly.

Both of them are sophisticated people who know how to deal with people, and they know that what they say is not for their good.

Two more people were added, and a few of them were talking and laughing, and walked towards the reeds.

Arrived at the reeds.

Xia Zhi took the sickle and taught Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui how to cut reeds and choose what kind of reeds are best to weave mats.

Then he handed the scythe to the two of them, and it was relatively easy to put it aside, and it was not a troublesome task.

He also told the two people to pay attention to the danger here, although the two people he took went to a place with long reeds, but if one of the places with long reeds accidentally stepped on the air, something would happen.

Seeing the two of them working seriously there, she took Liu Qianqian and Liu Zhiya to look for wild duck eggs not far from the two of them.

With that episode in the morning, Liu Qianjin is obviously a child's IQ, but he is also a smart child.

People do the same, and they don't need to do it on the summer solstice in the afternoon.

That is, after a while, he picked up a basket of duck eggs from the reeds.

Xia Zhi made two more baskets out of his hand.

Two baskets and a large basket were braided.

The basket was carried on Liu Qianqian's back.

Liu Qianjin is a child, and he is very happy when he sees that he has a new basket.

However, there was no time to go deep in this reed, and I didn't find the lotus root.

If there is a lotus root, the summer solstice wants to grind the lotus root powder.

This will save you money on breakfast.

In order to have a full stomach, Xia Solstice has been using his brain.

Anyway, she made up her mind, before there was heavy snowfall, she had to find a way to complete the exploration of the surrounding area, in addition to the reeds, there were also several places around.

I have time to see if I can hit rabbits, pheasants or something.

When it snows, everyone will come up with a nest.

Even if it's out of the ground, it's for snow plowing.

And after tomorrow they will have to take part in the work of repairing the canals and roads.

This job has only two days off a month.

She has participated in this kind of work, and it is hard and tired, and basically the tired person goes back to the ground and sleeps with his head.

I don't even want to wash up, let alone do some other work.

According to what Zhou Zhengan said, give them three days off, and today is the first day.

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow there are two more days to use.

It seems that you have to take Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiyan to take a good look around.

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui watched Xia Zhi teach them to weave mats hand in hand.

I didn't expect Xia Zhi's hand to be so skillful, and the reed soon had the prototype of a mat in her hand.

Originally, they also felt that Xia Zhi had a lot to do with Captain Zhou.

It must belong to the kind of people who are coquettish and willful or somewhat arrogant.

But at this time, I watched Xia Zhi help them weave mats, and while teaching them seriously, he also taught them how to do it hand in hand.

Suddenly, I felt that this summer solstice was too down-to-earth, and it was completely different from the summer solstice they imagined.

The two of them were educated youths on another train, so they were assigned here, and they didn't know the details of the summer solstice at all.

The summer solstice they saw was the summer solstice that everyone talked about and thought that Captain Zhou was favoritic.

Who would have thought that the summer solstice would do anything.

"Summer Solstice, how can you weave mats?"

"I do everything at home, and I've learned a little bit."

Xia Zhi naturally won't tell others that in his previous life, he did it himself, and practice makes perfect.

Live another life and do this again, how can you not?

Suddenly, Liu Qianjian's excited voice came from afar.

"Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia found the one you said here."

When Xia Solstice heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stood up,

"You two make mats here and pay attention, you must not relax your vigilance around, don't think that wolves won't go out during the day."

The two of them shuddered when they heard this, and their eyes scanned their surroundings vigilantly.

Xia Zhi hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, he pushed aside those reeds in the reeds in the distance, and saw the withered lotus leaves on the silt.

At present, there is no lotus root cultivation here.

In 1959, lotus root cultivation was introduced. However, it is not widely available at present.

She guessed that there might be lotus roots in these reeds, of course, because when the lotus roots were introduced for planting, some seeds were taken back from all over the country.

In some places, it was successfully planted, while in other places it was all abandoned.

This place theoretically has seeds, but there are not many places where they can be planted.

And the only place that succeeded back then was not here, which means that the lotus root in these places has failed.

Because of the failure, many people also think that those lotus root seeds are left to fend for themselves.

It is because of this that there are always some strong seeds that will survive on their own.

After all, a lot of lotus roots were introduced here in the frontier later, and the lotus roots were still very economical in the local area.

It didn't work out, and they really stumbled into it by mistake.

Xia Zhi saw the withered leaves, and couldn't help but pat Liu Qianjian's shoulder with praise.

"Liu Qianjin really has you, you can find good things this time."

However, digging lotus roots is not an easy thing to do, and this place will not be able to get out if you accidentally fall into it at any time.

I tried to poke a bamboo pole into the mud from the place where I found it, but I didn't think that the lotus roots were not buried deeply.

Soon it touched the hard lotus root at the bottom.

It seems that there is a door.

The next time, without saying a word, I went to cut the reeds and came back to weave a few small mats.

Her movements were quick, and in a short time, several mats were spread around the lotus root she had found, like floor mats.

Lying on the mat, the body area is large, so that it will not sink on top of the mud.

Come to the lotus root and use the sickle in your hand to pull away the dirt.

Because of the strong wind and sand here, the water loss of the soil is relatively large all year round, although it is still silt, but compared to the real lotus root mud sugar, these silt is nothing at all.

Xia Zhi's heart was put down, it seemed that he was thinking too much, this place was really not a quagmire.

I stood up and tried the hardness of my feet, and sure enough, there was no problem with the weight of the support people here.

Not to mention that after a while, I dug up a basket full of lotus roots.

I couldn't find it anywhere else.

It seems that even if there is, you will have to look for other places in the reed pond, and since there are other places here, there will be one or two fish that have slipped through the net.

But according to today's harvest, it is already good.
