Chapter 135 Lotus Root Chapter
Chapter 135 Lotus Root Chapter
The three of them got ready, took off their shoes and outer clothes and went into the water. Although they were mentally prepared, they still subconsciously let out a "hiss" after entering the water, and it was obvious that the water was very cold.
Zheng Sisi: "If it's cold, come up. We'll dig the same thing again when the weather warms up in a while."
A guard said, "Girl, it's okay. It was just a little cold when you got into the water, but you'll be fine once you get used to it."
Zhao Xiaozhu also said, "Girl, it's not very cold, and the water here is not deep. I think I stepped on the lotus root you mentioned."
After saying that, he bent down and touched it from one side to the other. It seemed very long. After touching it for a while, he tried to break it with force and almost sat down in the water.
Everyone burst into laughter at his actions, but he didn't care and lifted the thing he had broken off out of the water with both hands.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, it really exists, girl, is this lotus root?"
Zheng Sisi was also happy: "Yes, it's lotus root. Zhao Xiaozhu, please wash it and bring it up."
Zhao Xiaozhu swung in the water for a few times, and after washing off the mud, he revealed a white lotus root node, which was very plump and large, more than one meter long.
Zhao Xiaozhu took a few steps and handed the lotus root to the shore. The two security guards over there also broke off one each, which made the people standing by the pond exclaim "Wow" continuously.
Zheng Sisi picked up one and looked at it in her hand. It was very heavy. She didn’t know what kind of lotus root it was. It was white and tender. She would have to go back and cut it open to see.
The lotus roots in the pond must have never been dug up since they were planted. Year after year, the pond is full of lotus roots.
Some of the lotus root nodes that were dug out have already sprouted new buds.
The three of them only touched a small area and found more than a dozen lotus roots.
Zheng Sisi: "Just touch a few more and come up, or you'll catch a cold."
A guard said, "It's not cold, let's dig a little more."
Thinking about what the girl said about making delicious food, I was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough to eat as there are so many people in the mansion.
The third prince said, "The water is not deep. Arrange a few more people to go down and dig more. Your restaurant will open tomorrow and you can serve some fresh dishes."
Zheng Sisi's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's right, why didn't I think of that, you are so smart!"
After Zheng Sisi finished speaking, she gave the third prince a thumbs up.
The third prince smiled bitterly. This was all he could do in front of Zheng Sisi.
Zheng Sisi turned around and was about to tell Captain Liu, but she didn't expect that four people had already taken off their shoes. They must have heard the conversation between her and the third prince.
Zheng Sisi: "Why are you so active?"
Everyone laughed.
Zheng Sisi realized belatedly that she had a house full of foodies! She sighed and said that she had to work hard to earn money, otherwise she wouldn't be able to support a house full of foodies!
By the time the person who went to the kitchen to report the news came back with the basket, there was already a small hill of garbage on the ground.
He said in a daze: "Two baskets don't seem to be enough, I'll go pick a few more."
Zheng Sisi stopped him and said, "No need. When we go back later, each person can just take two. If there are too many, we can arrange for someone to pick them up."
Uncle Ma, who was squatting nearby and watching, said: "I have only seen people grow lotus roots to enjoy the flowers, but I never thought that lotus roots can be eaten. I have never eaten them before. This lotus root is white and plump, so it must be delicious."
Zheng Sisi said: "Lotus root can be eaten in many ways, and it also has many medicinal values, but people just haven't discovered it before."
Zheng Sisi pointed at the lotus root and said, "Lotus root is rich in protein and is very crisp and refreshing as a food ingredient."
He pointed to the node in the middle of the lotus root and said, "This is the node. It has high medicinal value and can clear away heat and cool blood, stop bleeding and dissipate blood stasis, and strengthen the spleen and appetite. For example, if a child has a long-term nosebleed for no reason, boil the node in water and drink it. The condition will improve after a few drinks."
Uncle Ma: "It's so magical, we haven't heard of it."
Zheng Sisi: "That's right, you should ask the doctor, they usually know."
The Third Prince listened carefully. It was indeed very novel. Did Miss Zheng learn this from her master? She knew so much.
