Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

Li Zheng felt that as Li Zheng, he had to set a good example in everything, so he took off all his clothes, leaving only his innermost single clothes and got into the pool.

When he stretched out one foot, the biting cold water stimulated him to take it back again, and saw everyone staring at him.

Li Zheng blushed and explained: "Well, I'm a bit old, and the water is indeed a bit cold for me."

After he finished speaking, he moved to the bamboo pipe draining the hot spring water and stretched out his feet again. Well, this place is much warmer, and he's so smart.

As soon as he stepped into the lotus pond, the water in the pond immediately flooded to his chest. He took two difficult steps and immediately stepped back. Well, the temperature in the pond became cold again as soon as he walked further.

The men who were all staring at Li Zheng were all wondering again, what happened to Li Zheng?

It was not easy for him to adapt to the temperature in the water. When he turned around, he saw that everyone was watching but no one got into the water. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Hey? What are you looking at? Why don't you come down? Come down quickly, don't do it. It’s dilly-dallying.”

Seeing that Li Zheng was getting angry from embarrassment, everyone held back their laughter and prepared to go down to the lotus pond.

Li was leading the way from behind, and the men all followed Li to get into the pool where the bamboo pipes for the hot spring water were drained. At first, their teeth chattered because of the cold. After soaking for a while and gradually adapting to the temperature in the water, they started looking for lotus roots.

Some inexperienced men dug up everywhere without any care. As a result, the water in the pond was muddy and even half a lotus root was not found.

When Li Dazhuang saw this, he stopped him and said, "It's very difficult to find lotus roots if you dig like headless flies. You also need to pay attention to methods when digging lotus roots."

After hearing this, everyone knew that Li Dazhuang knew how to dig lotus roots, so they all asked him how to dig lotus roots.

Li Dazhuang didn't hide it either. He told everyone that if they want to dig lotus roots, they must first learn to look for lotus stems. Lotus stems usually have small thorns. There are no lotus roots underneath the lotus stems with small thorns, and everyone just wants to find the smooth lotus stems. of lotus stem.

The lotus stem is relatively smooth and does not have those little thorns. Generally, there will be lotus roots underneath. Then dig down along the lotus stem. Once you find the lotus root, slowly break away the mud around the middle of the lotus root, so that you can get the complete lotus root.

Li Qingxiu has never dug lotus roots before, and this is the first time she knows that digging lotus roots requires methods. She thought she would be able to find lotus roots as long as she dug up the soil.

Everyone did what Li Dazhuang said and indeed found a smooth lotus stem. They dug down along the lotus stem and found lotus roots.

The first man to find the lotus root probably dug up the lotus root because of his inexperience.

Li Dazhuang said it was a pity, so he quickly taught everyone how to dig out the lotus roots completely.

Li Qingxiu suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten lotus root strips for a long time, and she didn't know if she would still eat lotus root strips at this time.

"Uncle Da Zhuang, are there any lotus root belts at this time?"

Li Dazhuang heard Li Qingxiu ask about the lotus root belt, and he smiled and replied: "Yes, although it is snowing now, after all, it is only September, there will still be lotus root belt."

He pointed to the rolled lotus leaf that had not yet been unfolded and said: "There will be lotus root belts under this kind of lotus leaf."

After saying that, he walked over and pulled up the whole lotus leaf. Li Qingxiu immediately saw a long stem.

Li Dazhuang cleaned the mud on the stems. Only then did Li Qingxiu realize that it was the lotus root belt.

It is really out of the mud but not stained. The whole lotus root belt is really beautiful, white and slender. Li Dazhuang broke off the lotus root belt and handed it to Li Qingxiu.

Li Qingxiu took the lotus root strips and said sheepishly: "Uncle, I want a few more. These lotus root strips are very delicious when fried."

Li Dazhuang laughed and said: "Okay, you girl can still eat it. Just wait, I will pick it for you right away."

Li Dazhuang picked a total of a dozen long white lotus root strips for Li Qingxiu, which made Li Qingxiu's eyebrows curl with joy.

She pushed the lotus root belt and stroller back home and saw Widow Jia standing at the door of the courtyard wearing a thin quilt, looking around.

When Widow Jia saw that Li Qingxiu was finally back, she quickly said, "Oh, ancestor, why did you come back just now? That ginger soup has been reheated for a second time."

Li Qingxiu shook the lotus root belt in his hand and said, "I came back so late just waiting for this thing."

"What is this?" Widow Jia took a lotus root belt and looked at it carefully.

When Li Qingxiu saw that Li Dazhuang knew about Ou Tie, she thought everyone knew about Ou Tie. Unexpectedly, Widow Jia didn't know Ou Tie.

"This is called lotus root. When it grows up, it will turn into lotus root. Let's go inside first. It's very cold outside."

The surprised Widow Jia looked at the lotus root belt in her hand. It turned out that this was what lotus root looked like when she was a child.

Seeing Li Qingxiu about to enter the yard, Widow Jia grabbed Li Qingxiu and said, "I have to leave. It's probably almost time to cook."

Li Qingxiu was a little curious. There was no sun now. How did Widow Jia know the time? She also asked the questions in her mind.

Widow Jia said sheepishly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Every time it's almost noon, I get hungry, so I know it's time to cook."

Li Qingxiu was stunned for a moment because she thought what Widow Jia said made sense. After what she said, Li Qingxiu also felt hungry.

As soon as Widow Jia left, Li Qingxiu pushed the stroller back into the house. At this time, Li Qingfeng was holding the only book and reading quietly, while Li Qingxiao was sleeping soundly in the warm quilt.

It was rare for Li Qingxiu to see Qingfeng Li studying consciously, and she felt very relieved. She did not bother Qingfeng Li loudly, but quietly left.

Since his brother was studying so hard, Li Qingxiu decided to cook a delicious dish to make Li Qingfeng happy.

She took out a piece of bacon from the storage compartment and prepared to make a fried lotus root dish with bacon and rice.

When Qingfeng Li tasted this dish, his eyes lit up. This was the first time for him to eat such a crispy and sweet dish.

When Li Qingxiu told him that this was the infancy of lotus root, Li Qingfeng suddenly realized. He said that this dish was somewhat similar to lotus root. Not only did it have many holes in the middle, but the taste also had the fragrance of lotus root.

After the siblings finished eating, Li Qingxiu pushed Jiang Tang to the lotus pond again.

There were already many lotus roots thrown out by the men on the ground around the No. 2 lotus pond. Some are large, some are small, some have several complete sections, and some have broken roots. There are even more than a dozen lotus root ribbons.

This time, Li Qingxiu also saw many women wearing newly made thick cotton-padded clothes for men, looking at their men with worried faces on the shore.

There were even women chattering on the shore. "Dad, are you cold? Why don't you come up? We won't dig anymore."

The woman's man turned his head when he heard this, hum! It's too late to care about whether I am cold or not! Why did he go there early? Even if he was making new clothes, he could still ask other people in the family to bring him a bowl of hot water.

When the woman saw that her husband ignored her, she felt that her face was dull and she closed her mouth angrily.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts! What bit me?"

The sudden cry of pain made everyone move away.
