Chapter 549 Sweet and Crispy Lotus Roots

Li Qingyun kept the earthquake incident to himself, and would call his grandfather later to ask him what he thinks.With his current cultivation base, he can not only feel slight earthquakes, but even predict the coming of danger, which is much more accurate than these unreliable little animals.

The water in the pond is very clear, and the lotus is planted deep.In this pond, Li Qingyun often mixes the space spring water, not only the aquatic plants grow vigorously, but also all the plants are vigorous. Speaking of the height of the lotus, it is absolutely beyond ordinary people's imagination.Li Qingyun wanted to dig lotus roots, so he had to dive.

My wife and sister-in-law have been standing by the river, staring at him helplessly. Don't be too lazy. If you want to enter the small space to get lotus roots, you must first muddy the water.

Fortunately, there were a lot of fish under the lotus. As soon as Li Qingyun dived, they "plopped" and fled away, helping him a little.Li Qingyun took advantage of this opportunity, as soon as his hand entered the mud layer, the spirit body had already entered the small space.

When I came to the pool in the mysterious space, there was the sound of gurgling water, and the spring water gushing out from the spring replenished the pool. Over time, the water in the pool was changing all the time, and the whole pool formed a pool of living water.The freshly gushed spirit spring essence can be drunk, and the overflowing spatial spring water can be used to grow vegetables and raise fish. All of them are treasures, and a drop will never be wasted.

Looking at the lotus leaves growing well in the pool, and the lotus flowers blooming bright red.Compared with the outside, the lotus in the mysterious space is more moist, the lotus leaves are emerald green, and the spirit is like a sculpture. The lotus leaves here are just like the fairyland in the landscape painting. The leaves are green and the flowers are red, which is really beautiful.

The concept of time in the space is different from that outside, but Li Qingyun doesn't want to waste time either.Li Qingyun walked into the pool, stretched out his hand to touch it, and casually touched a piece of lotus root.Since the lotus root has several sections, it will be broken if you are not careful.This will test the skills of the lotus diggers. It is not an easy task to dig up a lotus root completely.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to get a whole lotus root.But fortunately, Li Qingyun is the owner of this small space, so it is very easy to want a few whole lotus roots.In a blink of an eye, Li Qingyun dug up three lotus roots.

Looking at the lotus root in his hand, compared with the ordinary lotus root, the lotus root in the mysterious space is white and long, like a jade carving. Just looking at the color, it feels delicious.It grows in the spring water of space, and under the nourishment of the spiritual spring, the lotus root grows so white and tender, there is no black spot on the whole lotus root.

"Hey, my gluttonous sister-in-law is off the hook!" Saying that, Li Qingyun's spirit body had already left the small space.However, the three lotus roots cannot be brought up at once. They should be placed on the bottom of the water first, and a few of them should be dug out to make a model.

Before Li Qingyun emerged from the bottom of the water, he heard his wife on the shore shouting something.

"Husband, forget it if you don't have any. I don't want to eat lotus roots. I said it was just a joke. There are no lotus roots to dig in this season." Yang Yunu saw that Li Qingyun went into the water, and he might be covered in mud. His heart ached and he regretted making this joke. .

"Yeah, brother-in-law, forget it if you don't have one, let's come up, it's too hot." Yang Yudie also felt sorry for Li Qingyun, and was a little angry in her heart. She envied her sister for having such a good man who treats her well, and with one word, she went into the water for him. Dig something that simply can't exist this season.

Li Qingyun's head came out of the water. Although the water was a bit muddy, it was still within the acceptable range. He replied, "Don't worry, it will be fine soon. I'll dig two more and go up."

Yang Yudie didn't understand Li Qingyun's words, and said: "Forget it, brother-in-law, you should hurry up, there are a lot of toads and snakes in the water, it's disgusting to look at, the water is too scary."

"Honey, have you dug up the lotus root?" Yang Yunu was careful, and was surprised when he heard Li Qingyun's words.Dig two more and go up, doesn't it mean that he has already dug lotus roots?

"What, brother-in-law, have you dug up lotus roots? How is it possible!" Yang Yudie said in a surprised tone, with a somewhat disappointed expression on her face.She didn't know what was going on, but she didn't want Li Qingyun to dig the lotus root, either because she was afraid that she would lose, or because she didn't want him to win.

If she found it, the bet between her and Li Qingyun would be lost.If she loses the bet, eating a lotus root raw is not a big deal, but if she loses, the beautiful wish in her heart will not be fulfilled.Therefore, in Yang Yudie's heart, she was unwilling to believe the fact that Li Qingyun was able to dig lotus roots.

What's more, in this season, it is impossible to dig lotus roots.Because they are lotus roots grown in fish ponds, they are dug once a year, and autumn is the season for regular digging of lotus roots.When it just blooms in summer, even if there are lotus roots, they are just root buds, small and brittle, not normal lotus roots.

Yang Yudie thought to herself, it must be that her brother-in-law said so on purpose because she couldn't dig out lotus roots, and she won't be able to dig one even after waiting for a long time.You must not dig it, you must not dig it...

Li Qingyun dived into the water again, a piece of lotus fell down, his head came out of the water again, and he smiled proudly: "Okay, I dug two more, look..."

Li Qingyun took out the lotus root that he had prepared a long time ago and held it out of the water, Yang Yunu and Yang Yudie on the shore were stunned.

Li Qingyun actually had three lotus roots in his hand. The lotus roots looked tender and white, not to mention that they could not be dug now, even when the lotus roots were ripe, it would be difficult to dig such lotus roots.

"This, how is this possible..." Yang Yudie stared blankly at the lotus root in Li Qingyun's hand, and couldn't believe her eyes.

Yang Yudie thought to himself, it must be fake, it must be fake.

You can rub your eyes several times with your hands, and finally seeing that the lotus roots are still in Li Qingyun's hands, Yang Yudie understands that this is true.In this season, how can we dig lotus root?Even if it was left over from the previous year, it should have rotted long ago, and it is absolutely impossible to be so glamorous.

"Husband, come up quickly and take a shower. There are a lot of bugs and leeches in the water. It's not good to be bitten by them." Although Yang Yunu was also curious in his heart, he felt more sorry for Li Qingyun In such a hot day, the water helps me dig lotus roots.

Li Qingyun was not afraid of any bugs, so after landing, he put a few lotus roots on the tea machine.Then he went back to take a shower.When they came out, Yang Yunu and Yang Yudie had already washed the lotus root.

Looking at the cleaned lotus roots, Yang Yudie was extremely surprised. She had never seen these lotus roots before, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were as white as jade, with almost no flaws visible on the whole body.Each lotus root has three or four sections, and the length of each section is about the same.

"Brother-in-law, did you really dig this lotus root in the pond?" Yang Yudie still didn't give up, and didn't want to just admit defeat.

"You watched me go into the pond empty-handed. Didn't I dig the lotus root out of the pond? Could it be that I conjured it out of thin air? But although there are many lotus roots in this pond, there are not many that actually grow lotus roots. There are special methods to make them grow." Even so, I dug for a long time before I dug all of them up."

Li Qingyun was not stupid, so he simply said what he said to death, so that Yang Yudie would not propose to go to the pond again.

Sure enough, Yang Yudie was speechless after what Li Qingyun said, and he couldn't say what he wanted to dig a few more.

"Okay, my husband, Yudie, you're already this big, and you're still like a child. It doesn't matter if you bet or not, as long as everyone has something to eat." Yang Yunu acted as a peacemaker , I want the two to forget about the bet.

It's okay not to mention it, but when Yang Yudie's stubborn temper came up, she said angrily: "I mean what I say, and I am serious about betting. Since I lost, I will eat a lotus root raw in front of you."

Hearing this, Li Qingyun secretly laughed in his heart, no matter how many people wanted to eat this lotus root, they would not be able to eat it.You are lucky to be able to eat one, don't think it is a grievance.

Yang Yudie didn't know the mystery. Although lotus root can be eaten raw, Yang Yudie doesn't like the taste.I remember when she was a child, when she first saw lotus root, she was tricked into taking a bite raw, but the muddy smell was still fresh in her memory.

Looking at the washed lotus root in her hands, Yang Yudie looked sad.

"Or, forget it, Yudie, you don't want to eat it." Yang Yunu, who is the older sister, still knows her younger sister. With Yang Yudie's expression, you can tell that you don't want to eat it.

Li Qingyun smiled indifferently: "I think so, it's better not to eat it raw. I'll cook hot and sour lotus root for you when cooking in the evening."

Originally, Yang Yudie wanted to find an excuse not to eat when she heard Yang Yunu's words, but Li Qingyun's normal words of persuasion made Yang Yudie's stubborn temper come up again.

"I want to eat it for you to see!" Yang Yudie took a bite, and the muddy smell she imagined did not appear. On the contrary, it tasted sweet, very crisp and tender, and it was not the unpalatable taste she remembered at all.

Yang Yunu thought that Yang Yudie was going to spit it out, but just as she was about to persuade her not to eat it, Yang Yudie was like eating Xuanmai chewing gum, and couldn't stop at all. Finished.Not only that, she didn't even take a breath, and directly ate the remaining two sections in one breath.

"Brother-in-law, can I have another one?" Yang Yudie, a foodie with bright eyes, actually had the face to ask such a question. This was the first time she lost so willingly.

Li Qingyun shook his head and said, "You can't eat the rest, it's for your sister."

When Yang Yudie heard the words, her face was disappointed, and she complained: "Look, look...you are reluctant to give me food again! Sister, do you think brother-in-law is stingy?"

"Hehe, after the lunch banquet, you ate a few slices of watermelon and so much raw lotus root? Do you still have room in your stomach? But, I remember you don't like lotus root?" Yang Yunu was surprised asked.

"I don't know. The lotus root I ate this time is very delicious, without any muddy smell. It still has a bit of crunchy sweetness and a special fragrance in your mouth. There is almost no residue when chewing, like fruit. If you don't believe me, try it too. .”

"It's so amazing?"

Yang Yunu dubiously made a small amount and ate it, and once it was in his mouth, it was exactly what Yang Yudie said.But she was a little puzzled. Although the lotus roots dug out from the pond were more delicious than the lotus roots grown by others, they were not as good as today, right?

Li Qingyun secretly had a headache, knowing that showing off was too much. The lotus root planted in the small space has been growing almost all the time since it was planted, unlike the lotus root planted in this fish pond, which is dug once a year.Calculated on a time-to-ten basis, Li Qingyun himself was shocked. These lotus roots must have grown in the space for more than ten years, absorbing a lot of spiritual substances, and if they grow longer, they may be comparable to elixir.

　To explain, the harvest season of lotus root depends on the variety and region. There are slight differences in each place, and there are differences in different varieties.The lotus roots in August and September are brittle and easy to break, so most of the lotus roots are harvested in early winter in Sichuan.
