Crossing the Stars: My Major General Husband and I Are Evenly Matched

"Okay, what about the lotus fruits? You, Captain Kong, didn't you send someone to take a look?" Song Yanyu was not giving up and still wanted to find out.

"They're not ripe yet, so what's there to look at? But now that I know there's such a large area here, I'll definitely come early next year to pick them."

"Yeah." Song Yanyu stopped talking.

It is also very strange that in the interstellar age, this creature is still called lotus leaf and lotus flower, but why don’t people know that lotus seeds are edible and there are also lotus roots under the water?

Strange, very strange.

The two talked as they walked. The distance was not long, so they soon reached their destination.

Song Yanyu has always had good luck. There happened to be several lotus leaves and lotus pods standing gracefully by the river where they were.

Just use something to push it and you can pull it over.

Song Yanyu was very happy, while Yuntian next to him was very calm.

"Look, I told you, there are no lotus flowers here anymore, and the lotus pods are almost ripe. Let's go back." Yuntian knew the situation early on, and now he could see it more clearly as he got closer. There were many densely packed lotus pods standing above the layers of lotus leaves in the middle of the river.

Seeing this, Yuntian felt a little regretful. It would have been great if Major General Jing had discovered Mars a month or two earlier. In this way, how much money could such a large field of lotus flowers sell for, and how much supplies could be purchased?

Song Yanyu had finally arrived here, so how could she go back without checking the situation? Although she could have come here alone, as Yun Lei said, she was afraid that there were dangerous creatures in the river.

Now with a little earth-type warrior standing next to him, Song Yanyu felt a little more at ease.

"I want to pull the lotus pod over to take a look." Song Yanyu began to look around to see if he could pick up a long branch or stick.

"That thing is not ripe yet. Why are you looking at it? It's useless even if you pick it now. And it tastes very bad." Yuntian seemed to have thought of the taste, frowning, as if it was bitter.

Everyone knows that this thing is not poisonous, and everyone also knows that it is a nutritious food, but everyone also knows that it tastes really bad.

"That's because you don't know how to eat it. Wait, I'll pick one and teach you how to eat it."

Song Yanyu has found a long branch and now he just needs to dig at the riverside.

"Don't go over there yet." Yuntian saw Song Yanyu walking without stopping and preparing to go to the river, which scared him so much that he screamed.

"Sister Song, what did you say just now? We didn't even test the river, so why did you rush straight in?" Yuntian walked quickly to Song Yanyu and lectured her like an adult.

Song Yanyu was in the wrong and was frightened when she was scolded. Fortunately, Yuntian stopped her. If something happened, she would have no time to cry.

Yuntian is indeed a little soldier. At such a young age, he has shouldered the responsibility of a soldier. The little guy walked to a distance of five steps from the river with a serious face. No one knew how he used his special ability, but Song Yanyu saw a layer of mud and gravel rising from the river bank, which was directly thrown into the river. Many larger stones on the ground also fell into the river with a "plop, plop".

The two waited for another three minutes until the river calmed down, but there was no response.

"Sister Song, there are no aggressive creatures in the river, so come and pick them." Yuntian actually didn't agree with her doing useless work at this time, but Song Yanyu insisted.

Then Yuntian had no choice but to support it.

But he was still too young, with his small arms and legs, and he couldn't reach the lotus pod at all, so Sister Song had to come in person.

"Hey, when can I grow up?" Yuntian looked at his little hands and for the first time he wanted to grow taller immediately.

Song Yanyu encountered no difficulty and quickly picked a few lotus leaves and two lotus pods.

It just so happened that this was all she could pick, so she picked them all.

But she also avoided the hollow pole in the center to prevent it from getting wet.

If water gets in, these lotus roots will probably go bad, and Song Yanyu is reluctant to do so.

Yesterday she looked at many of the growth habits of lotus roots.

In fact, reducing the number of lotus flowers and lotus pods can allow their nutrients to be transferred to the lotus roots under the mud, so that the lotus roots will grow better.

"Here, hold these lotus leaves. Actually, the lotus leaves can also block the sun." Song Yanyu said as he put a lotus leaf on his head.

Although it is already past six o'clock, the afterglow has not yet set, and it just happens to shine on the faces of the two little ones.

Ci's eyes narrowed slightly.

Once the lotus leaf was placed on top of my eyes, they were shielded and even felt a little cooler.

She also put one on Yuntian.

It’s just that Yuntian was too small and the lotus leaf was too big. When it hit his head, it blocked his eyes. Song Yanyu couldn’t help laughing out loud.

He quickly took the lotus leaf down: "You are still too young, forget it, just help me pick it up."

Come, let me tell you how to eat this lotus pod.

"Well, after pulling out the lotus seeds, you also need to peel off the green skin on the outside. Here comes the most crucial part." Song Yanyu wanted to keep it a secret.

But Yuntian was still young after all. He had tasted the lotus seeds and found them very bitter. He was not curious at all and just stared at Song Yanyu with his watery eyes.

Song Yanyu was so cute that she stopped delaying and also wanted to teach Yuntian a lesson.

"Look carefully. Break it open or cut it open here. There's a small green bud inside. Remove it and the lotus seeds won't be bitter anymore."

"Try it." Song Yanyu handed the processed lotus seeds to Yuntian's mouth.

Yuntian didn't want to eat it, he still remembered the taste.

"When did Sister Song ever lie to you? It's really not bitter." Seeing that he didn't believe her, Song Yanyu stuffed the lotus seeds into her mouth and chewed them before eating.

It’s okay. The lotus seeds are already old at this time and there is no moisture in them. They taste floury and not sweet, but there is no bitterness at all.

Yuntian didn't see any expression of pain on Song Yanyu's face, and couldn't help but want to try it.

Song Yanyu peeled a lotus seed in the same way and handed it to Yuntian: "I just ate it, it's really not bitter."

Yuntian opened his mouth.

His eyes lit up and he looked at Song Yanyu with a look of disbelief.

"Yeah, I wasn't kidding you, it's not bitter, it's just a little old and not very tasty."

"good to eat."

"What?" Song Yanyu was a little confused.

Yuntian repeated: "This lotus seed is delicious."

"Although lotus seeds can be eaten, they cannot be used as a staple food. We can add a little when we cook porridge."

Lotus seeds nourish the spleen and stop diarrhea, nourish the heart and calm the mind, also benefit the kidneys and treat palpitations and insomnia. They are suitable for both men and women.

I won’t explain these to Yuntian in detail.

In short, this thing is both edible and a traditional Chinese medicine, that is, a medicinal plant.

It is not advisable to eat too much.

"Let's go, let's take it over and let them taste it."
