Crossing the Stars: My Major General Husband and I Are Evenly Matched
Chapter 120 Digging Lotus Roots
But since Song Yanyu has already brought it up.
Although Jing Xiao has decided not to go on missions anymore.
But Mars is a place they have just been to, and they are familiar with the safety factor and level, so they can still guarantee most of it.
Besides, the primary purpose of this trip was just to dig lotus roots.
The goal is very clear.
Similarly, because the goal is clear, the people they go with this time will not be as complicated as before.
Since we have agreed on it, we have to take down the things that have already been loaded into the car.
The cold storage at home is not small and its ability to preserve food is also very good.
If it is placed in a car, the energy consumed will be very large.
Not worth the candle.
Song Yanyu couldn't explain the specific matters to Jing Xiao during the communication.
So, I have to trouble Wen Lan to take her to find Jing Xiao.
As for the things in the car, except for those that did not need to be refrigerated for preservation, they were taken out of the car directly.
It was really a waste of effort.
Song Yanyu felt a little embarrassed.
Forget it, business is more important.
After moving the things, Song Yanyu followed Wen Lan to find Jing Xiao.
Jing Xiao is not in the office yet.
These two missions were very close to each other.
The supplies they collected were basically piled up in the supply warehouse and they had no time to sort them out.
This time we finally cleaned it up together.
Correspondingly, Jing Xiao is very busy and is often not seen.
Wen Lan and his friends finally found Jing Xiao in the warehouse.
Song Yanyu didn't want to disturb others.
After explaining clearly what needed to be prepared and what precautions should be taken, Song Yanyu had nothing to worry about.
There is not enough time today.
Jing Xiao still needed someone to make the decision, so they agreed to go there tomorrow morning.
In fact, digging lotus roots is still very difficult.
Someone needs to put it in the mud, and then manually explore the lotus roots inside.
Progress is definitely difficult.
Song Yanyu couldn't help here at all, and her presence was even a bit of a hindrance. Didn't she see that the people who were working diligently just now started looking over here frequently?
Even if Song Yanyu is not a shameless person, in a situation like this, it is obvious that he wants to see what kind of person his major general's future wife is.
"I'm leaving first. I need to prepare some things when I get back." Song Yanyu said goodbye.
Wen Lan was not around this time, so Jing Xiao sent someone out directly.
"Sorry, it's too busy here and I can't get away. Do you still remember the way?" Jing Xiao's tall figure stood beside him.
Song Yanyu has actually gotten used to Jing Xiao's identity now, and she actually feels quite at ease with this person around.
Song Yanyu herself was a little bit unbelievable.
The amount of contact between her and Jing Xiao should be the least between two people among all unmarried couples.
But the tacit understanding and magnetic field between the two are inexplicably matched.
"I know the route, don't worry. I see they are very busy in there. Go back to work quickly." Song Yanyu is also shy. When the two of them were still there, everyone inside was whispering secretly. Now that they are both out, the conversation inside will definitely be more bold.
Song Yanyu could hear the voice inside, and it was definitely talking about the two of them.
Maybe Song Yanyu herself doesn't know that she is a very good person.
The feeling Jing Xiao had when playing chess with Song Yanyu was one of responsibility from the beginning.
The two of them had only come into contact when they were children, and only a few times a year. At that time, one was a child and the other was a baby. No matter how cruel Jing Xiao was, it was impossible for him to fall in love with her when they were young.
Later, for various reasons, the two people almost never saw each other.
Jing Xiao’s idea is really about responsibility. As long as the two of them don’t break off the engagement, Song Yanyu will be his fiancée.
Whatever others have, his fiancée must also have. Therefore, even though the Song family's financial situation is average, Song Yanyu has never spent money on herself or felt inferior about these external conditions since she was a child.
Song Yanyu was very grateful to Jing Xiao for this.
Because Jing Xiao's efforts were all made silently.
Jing Xiao was also very satisfied with Song Yanyu.
This fiancée was very cute when she was a child.
It's like a glutinous rice ball.
Her little mouth keeps talking to you and acting coquettishly, making you unconsciously want to hand all the good things to her.
Later, because of Song Ci's illness, Jing Xiao met him.
Regarding the marriage, Jing Xiao also rushed here. Jing Xiao has reached the marriageable age. He and Song Yanyu have been engaged for so many years, and the Jing family has been trying to cancel the engagement.
They were all suppressed directly by Jing Xiao.
His memories of Song Yanyu's childhood were so profound that he didn't hate Song Yanyu at all.
On the contrary, he has been brainwashed by the ideas instilled in him since he was a child.
In this life, unless something unexpected happens, only Song Yanyu can be his wife and the one who will accompany him throughout his life.
The renewed urging from his family made Jing Xiao make up his mind.
It just so happened that Song Yanyu awakened her special powers, it just so happened that Song Yanyu reached the age to get married, and it just so happened that Song Ci's injury was an opportunity.
Fortunately, this time he was very determined about this marriage.
Song Yuyan is very good, very good.
She is considerate and has her own ideas and thoughts.
She is independent and does not depend on others.
Be able to firmly be yourself and bloom.
Jing Xiao was glad that he had met such a bright person and had not let her go.
Jing Xiao watched Song Yanyu disappear around the corner. He stayed there for a long time before slowly returning to the warehouse.
As soon as this man returned to the warehouse, the people who were still talking and laughing stopped talking. Jing Xiao was in a good mood today. After looking around, he continued to busy himself with his own things.
Although everyone stopped talking loudly, the quarrels between them continued.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the boss was in a good mood. If it were any other time, he would have told everyone the details.
There is no such thing today, and there is even a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Song Yanyu was very happy when she came back.
The smile on his lips couldn't be suppressed either.
Sun Piaopiao and Song Ci could see that she was in a good mood.
"Xiaoyan, you seem very happy today. You were out for just a short while, and you must have encountered something happy." Sun Piaopiao knew that she would not be going back today.
Look, the sheets and quilt covers are taken out again.
Song Yanyu's face turned red, and without any explanation, she just said, "I'm going to clean up the room."
Ignoring her parents' doubts behind her, she went straight into the room. Her face was now red.
He sat on the bed in the room in a daze for a while, then slapped his face.
It took a while for the blush on her face to disappear.
Only when you feel calm can you start doing other things.
The next day, Song Yanyu got up early.
The meeting place has changed this time.
Because the harvesting and quantity of lotus roots are uncertain.
Jing Xiao didn't even apply for military supplies this time.
He just took a few of his captains and confidants, and a group of more than 30 people quietly left on several hovercrafts.
When we say it is quiet, it just means that our movements are a little smaller than those of the main force.
How can they keep a low profile when the major general and the captain go out at the same time?
Fortunately, this matter was reported to Jing Zhuo, the second uncle of the Jing family, in advance.
Jing Zhuo is the manager and commander of Mercury, and Jing Xiao is his nephew and the young master of the Jing family, so they will prosper together.
Jing Xiao’s gains this time were so outstanding that Jing Zhuo couldn’t have been unaware of it.
And how he collected the treasures, Jing Zhuo couldn't be hidden either.
So, when Jing Zhuo knew that it was Song Yanyu who proposed this outing, he approved it without saying a word.
It's just a few days of absence. He can still manage the army.
While Jing Xiao is not in the team, his second uncle will definitely manage the army for him.
Similarly, in the Jing family, only his second uncle is closest to him. Otherwise, with Jing Xiao's ability, he would not have come to follow Jing Zhuo directly after graduation.
He is the only elder in the Jing family who has no problem with Song Yanyu.
This time we traveled light and arrived at the destination at ten o'clock in the morning.
The second time I came here, Mars was flat again.
However, the temperature is still slightly higher than that on Mercury.
The wild grass here is still green, which is indeed suitable for living here in the cold season.
Song Yanyu thought so and spoke the same words.
Sun Piaopiao also nodded. "We were all wearing thick clothes when we came here. It's only been two minutes and I'm already sweating. If the climate on Mars remained the same, it would be nice to live here during the cold season. It's a pity that this place hasn't been conquered yet."
It is not easy to build a safe zone. There are too many uncertainties on a newly discovered planet.
First of all, we need to build a safe zone.
First, we need to understand the basic terrain of Mars, and then we need to understand the obvious and potential dangers on Mars...
In short, if you want to establish a safe zone on Mars, you still have to wait.
If it were so easy to establish a safe zone on a planet, so many people would not have been scattered and almost extinct.
In the interstellar age, there are many planets, but the number of humans is limited. The external dangers are very great, and humans can only survive by gathering together.
This is why interstellar law is so friendly to ordinary people.
Only by preserving the human population can we continue to survive, develop and pass on.
There is no point in thinking so much. The most important thing now is to dig lotus roots quickly.
Song Yanyu had never dug lotus roots before, but she had the most powerful partner.
After returning home yesterday, Song Yanyu asked about all the steps clearly.
Originally, Song Yanyu was very scared. Although the area where lotus roots grew was relatively shallow, the river was flowing. If they wanted to pump out all the water, they had to block the lotus pond or pump up half of the river water.
No matter which one, it is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
But now that everyone was standing by the river, Song Yanyu was extremely happy.
How can a person be so lucky? God is helping you.
I saw that the water level of the river in front of me had dropped a lot. Even if Song Yanyu couldn't go down, he knew that the water level was very acceptable. After all, as long as you are not blind, you can see that under the shallow river water, there is silt.
Only Song Yanyu knew about digging lotus roots. He glanced at everyone and said, "Let's put on waterproof clothes first, and then we can go down and dig."
When Song Yanyu looked at the lotus leaves in the river that had turned yellow and some had even withered, she knew that the lotus roots were almost grown.
Song Yanyu put on his waterproof clothes and went into the river first.
There was no water near the shore, so Song Yanyu carefully looked for a place to stop. It was relatively simple to collect lotus roots in the shallow water.
Song Yanyu stepped into the river all of a sudden, not giving the people around him any chance to defend themselves or call out to stop.
Everyone just watched helplessly as the little guy stepped directly into the dirty puddle.
Yes, a dirty puddle.
When the water tank is full, it looks very beautiful. The water surface is clear and the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are swaying on the water. It is such a beautiful picture.
Now, the mud is black and dead leaves touch the bottom, making for a very dirty picture.
But everyone has already gone into the river, and it is impossible for these grown men to just stand on the shore and watch.
The second person to go down was Jing Xiao. He walked straight to Song Yanyu and stopped the third person from going into the river.
He knew that Song Yanyu was the first to come down, probably to demonstrate to everyone, so these people should stand on the shore to see clearly.
He can just come down and take care of it alone.
"You tell me what to do, and I'll do it."
Song Yanyu glanced at him, then lowered her head to search again.
The first step in digging lotus roots is to find the location where the lotus roots grow. Once the location is determined, start digging.
Lotus roots in shallow water areas are relatively easy to dig. You just need to determine the location, clean up the surrounding silt first, and then go down along the direction of the leaves. Because there is silt under the water and it is soaked in water all day long without anyone or anything setting foot on it, the silt in the water is particularly soft.
When you touch the lotus root head, you can directly take out the entire lotus root.
No tools are even needed.
Jing Xiao followed Song Yanyu's method and performed the operation perfectly step by step. Almost at the same time when Song Yanyu finished speaking, Jing Xiao produced a lotus root about half a meter long in his hand.
This lotus root may have grown in shallow water. It is of average length, but its width is about as thick as an adult's arm.
The people who were still watching on the shore also cheered in surprise.
“There really is something.”
“I’ve never seen this before.”
"I can't believe it can grow so big in the water."
“This thing is really edible.”
……
Song Yanyu ignored the noise and spoke to Jing Xiao loudly, making sure everyone present could hear: "We must be extremely careful when digging. Even if we encounter resistance when pulling it out, we must cut it off at the node. If we force it in the middle, there will be a lot of mud underneath, which will directly flow into the lotus root, affecting the taste and making it difficult to store."
The one in Jing Xiao's hand had been dug out. Song Yanyu was afraid that others would not believe it, so he asked Jing Xiao to break it open from the part that was not the lotus root node, so that everyone could see the inside of the lotus root. It was full of small holes, so it was easiest for it to get into the mud.
