The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

The pond is full of silt, with only a little water in the middle.

The surrounding area was also filled with wilted wild grass and withered reeds.

Xiaomi had sharp eyes and saw something green in the reeds, so she took Daya's hand and went to have a look.

Daya held a stick in her hand. She walked and knocked around. She was afraid there might be snakes around. She knocked with the stick. Even if there were any, they would be scared away.

Daya took Xiaomi's hand and walked to the reeds. She used a stick to push away the rotten leaves on the reeds. Inside lay a pile of round wild duck eggs.

Daya covered Xiaomi's mouth with her hand, put her index finger to her lips, and said "Shh".

Xiaomi nodded obediently, indicating that he understood.

Daya then let go of her hand, and then wrapped the wild duck egg with her clothes and sent it back to where the Wang family was.

Arriving at Wang's land, Daya saw Old Lady Wang using a basin to carry brown rice and cooking brown rice porridge for dinner.

She walked over to Old Lady Wang and whispered, "Grandma, my dear found some wild duck eggs. There are eight of them." Then she took out the duck eggs from her clothes so that Old Lady Wang could see them.

"Oh my, your sweet baby is really good. Your Daya is also good. I will cook wild duck eggs for you tonight."

As Old Lady Wang said this, she quickly took the wild duck egg from Daya's clothes.

He then touched Daya's head and said, "Daya is really capable. She is much better than those three brats. Just go and have fun. Ah!"

At this time, there were three gangsters following Wang Zhuzi to collect firewood.

"A-choo" Tiedan rubbed his nose.

I wondered, "Why did you sneeze?"

Goudan replied: "I know, grandma must have prepared the meal. She is going to ask us to go back for dinner."

Gou Wa and Tie Dan looked at each other and turned their heads away, not wanting to look at Gou Dan, their brother who only cared about eating.

After Daya gave the wild duck eggs to Old Lady Wang, she took Xiaomi to the pond to see if she could find some more food.

"Xiaomi, Xiaomi. There is something in the mud. There is lotus root." Tuanzi called in his mind.

Xiaomi was stunned when she heard Tuanzi talking. There are lotus roots?

It is possible. I once heard from Old Lady Wang that the reason why Lotus Village is called Lotus Village is because of the lotus in the pond.

It was obtained by the old village chief from somewhere.

It is said to be a rare variety. It is as white and tender as a wrist, so it is named Yulinglong.

As a result, after planting for several years, the plant only bloomed but did not bear fruit. Gradually, even the flowers stopped blooming.

This place is not too far from Lotus Village. Maybe some birds ate the lotus seeds and flew here. It is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Xiaomi squatted down by the pond and asked Tuanzi to scan it to see which lotus root was closest to the ground. She dug out a piece first.

After Tuanzi scanned and determined the location, Xiaomi took a stick and started digging.

Daya saw Xiaomi digging in the mud and told him not to run around. Then she went to the reeds to look for wild duck eggs.

This place is not far from the crowd. Everyone can come over if they are called. So Daya did not accompany Xiaomi to dig the silt.

This time, Xiaomi didn't let Daya help dig.

The lotus root that Tuanzi chose was not far from the ground. The mud was not completely dry, so it was easier to dig. Soon, Xiaomi dug it out.

With a "click", the lotus root was pulled apart. Xiaomi was left with only a single section of lotus root.

This lotus root is not big, one section is only as big as an adult's fist. It is definitely not as high-yielding as modern ones.

Xiaomi remembers a news report.

In September 2006, the Shandong Provincial Department of Agriculture, Shandong Agricultural University, and the Agricultural Science Channel of Shandong Television conducted an evaluation of the per-acre yield of lotus roots dug from the entire pond. After washing to remove mud and impurities, the yield was 9 kilograms per acre, winning the Guinness World Record for the world's highest lotus root yield.

The lotus roots in this pond are estimated to weigh only about 1000 kilograms.

Tuanzi: "This is already a lot. Each family can get more than 20 kilograms. And it is scientifically researchable."

Lotus root can clear away heat and produce body fluid. For people who suffer from thirst and dry mouth due to damage to body fluid, eating lotus root appropriately can effectively clear internal heat, produce body fluid in the mouth, and relieve thirst and dry mouth.

This is much better for you than wild vegetables."

Xiaomi nodded. Of course. Even a fool knows that lotus root is much better than wild vegetables.

Xiaomi held the lotus root, stood up and called Daya, "Sister Daya, I want to go back."

Daya's voice came from the reeds. "My dear. Wait for me. Just stand there and don't move. I'll come to you soon."

Xiaomi saw the reeds swaying, and then Daya came out from it, holding two wild duck eggs in her hands.

Daya walked to Xiaomi and showed her the wild duck eggs in her hand. "Look, I found two more. I'll ask you to cook them for me tonight." She smiled, revealing her silver teeth.

Xiaomi also laughed. She liked Sister Daya the most. She looked pretty when she laughed. She had two dimples on her face. Her eyes were sparkling. It was as if all the stars in the sky had fallen into them.

Daya put the wild duck egg in her arms, held Xiaomi's hand, and walked towards the camp.

Seeing Xiaomi still fiddling with the unknown root-shaped thing in his hand, he asked, "My dear, what are you holding? Where did you get it?"

Xiaomi: “I don’t know what it is, I dug it out of the mud.

Go back and ask grandma. She will definitely know. "

When he saw Old Lady Wang, Xiaomi rushed over like a cannonball. He hugged Old Lady Wang's waist. He looked up and asked, "Grandma, look. I dug it out of the mud. I don't know what it is. Can you eat it?"

Old Lady Wang hugged Xiaomi first. After Xiaomi finished speaking, she turned her eyes to the things Xiaomi was holding.

Old Lady Wang took it and looked at it. She smelled it again. She didn't recognize it either.

At this time, Chief Qian's nephew happened to pass by holding firewood.

Qian Yongye, the nephew of Patriarch Qian, is the only scholar in Hehua Village.

Qian Yongye glanced at it and paused for a moment. He walked to the side of Old Lady Wang. "Aunt Wang, can you let Yongye see what's in your hand? This looks familiar to me."

When Mrs. Wang saw that it was Qian Yongye who was talking, she quickly gave the lotus root in her hand to Qian Yongye.

Old Lady Wang was very polite to the scholar from Lotus Village. What country folks want most is to have a scholar in their family. To bring honor to the family and the ancestors.

Unfortunately, neither of my two sons were good at studying. I wanted to see how my grandson was doing. But I never expected that the family would encounter a drought just when they had saved some money.

So the more they saw Qian Yongye, the happier they were. They just wished he was their own child. Of course, everyone in Lotus Village thought so.

Qian Yongye took the lotus root and looked at it again and again. He pinched a little with his fingernails and took a sip. His eyes lit up instantly.

"Aunt, aunt. Where did this come from? This is Yu Linglong. It's edible." Qian Yongye said excitedly.
