Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 182 Chapter 182: Chang Wu who was kicked into the lake

Isn't this guy too busy with things in Yongdu?How could this happen here?
Also, this guy ran out as the king of a country, who will handle the affairs of that country?

The flood has not yet passed, what should the common people do?
There were so many doubts that Gu Qiqi couldn't help but frown.

It's just that Nangong Ye had already followed his grandfather to the front at this time, and Gu Qiqi couldn't find him to answer his doubts right now.

I can only leave these doubts for the time being and find a chance to ask him what's going on later.

"Qiqi, come on, how are you going to play with this?" Mr. Qi found that his granddaughter had not followed, then turned around and shouted.

"Oh, here we come, here we come." Gu Qiqi trotted over quickly.

Then he looked at Nangong Ye and began to teach his grandfather and father to fish.

"Before fishing, we have to make a nest first. Just throw some of this bait into the lake, and don't use too much. Otherwise, the fish will be full, and then they won't eat the bait on the hook."

"This is the adjusted bait. After making the nest, make a little bit of this bait and hang it on the hook. That's it. After making it, throw it out. When throwing it, throw it at the place where the nest was made just now."

"Just wait for the fish to take the bait."

As soon as Gu Qiqi finished speaking, there was movement from the fishing rod.

"The rod is up. When the dart floating on the water sinks, it means the fish is hooked, and then we pull it up."

Gu Qiqi operated while talking.

Then everyone saw a big crucian carp caught.

Gu Qiqi carefully caught the fish, then took the hook out of the fish's mouth, and put the fish into the net.

The fish caught in this way will not die or run away.

"Are you ready?" Gu Qiqi looked at his father and grandfather and asked.

"Let me try it." Gu Bei said and began to operate step by step according to the method of taking care of Qiqijiao.

Sure enough, the fish took the bait not long after the hook was lowered.

This time I caught a big carp.

Mr. Qi on the side saw this and quickly started fishing.

At this moment, only Nangong Ye was left without a fishing rod, Gu Qiqi saw this and said, "Use my set of tools."

Nangong Ye: "What about you?"

Gu Qiqi: "It's okay. I watched you fishing the same way. I'll get a few more sets of tools another day. By then, the eldest brother and the second brother will definitely like fishing too."

"Then let's fish together. I'm in charge of fishing, and you are in charge of catching the fish."

"That's fine. Then whether I catch fish today depends on whether you catch fish or not."

With that said, Nangong Ye also joined the fishing team.

The first shot came down, a big crucian carp.

Then the second shot, the third shot...

It was just that suddenly, Nangong Ye's fishhook caught something and got stuck.

"What's going on?" Nangong Ye looked puzzled?
Gu Qiqi also looked puzzled. He took the fishing rod in Nangong Ye's hand and pulled it hard, and finally pulled out a lotus leaf stalk.

Looking at this stalk, Gu Qiqi asked: "Grandfather, do we plant lotus in this lake?"

Due to the recent heavy rain, the water in the lake rose a lot, and the withered lotus leaves were submerged in the water, so Gu Qiqi didn't notice it at first.

It wasn't until Nangong Ye caught the lotus leaf stalk by fishing at this time that he discovered it.

Mr. Qi replied: "Yes, your grandmother likes lotus, so when she came back from Yongdu, she brought back a lot of seeds."

"When we came back, we had no place to plant them, so your father asked someone to dig out this artificial lake here, and then planted all the lotus seeds he brought back."

Gu Qiqi was pleasantly surprised after hearing this.

This lotus was sent as an ornamental flower by a neighboring country to the first queen more than ten years ago.

Later, the first queen planted lotus seeds in the lake in the palace.

Later, this lake naturally became the most treasured lake of the late queen.

Every year when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, Empress Xian would invite concubines from various palaces and officials and family members to enjoy the flowers.

Once while admiring flowers, a child from an official's family accidentally ate fresh lotus seeds out of play.

At that time, everyone was frightened, but in the end, the imperial doctor discovered that the lotus seeds were not only edible, but could also clear away heat and relieve fire.

Lotus heart has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the nerves.

Not only the lotus heart can be made into tea, but the lotus leaves and lotus flowers can also be eaten.

It's just that no one has discovered that there is a baby under the mud so far.

Although later after the death of the late empress, some nobles gradually planted some lotus flowers in their homes for viewing, but the only way for them to obtain seeds was lotus seeds. They used lotus seeds as seeds, so the lotus roots under the mud were never found.

At this moment, Gu Qiqi saw Chang Wu and Zhao Song coming over. He looked at them and asked, "Do you guys want to eat something delicious?"

When Chang Wuyi heard about delicious food, he immediately became interested: "I think about it. I think about it day and night."

Gu Qiqi: "Jump down."

Chang Wu: "???"

"Does good food have anything to do with jumping? Or did the girl make us jump into the lake before making good food for us?"

Speaking later, Chang Wu felt aggrieved, "It seems that the girl has changed her mind. When she was Mr. Peach, she was very kind to us and made us all kinds of delicious food. Now she has become a girl..."

With a splash, before Chang Wu finished speaking, he was kicked into the lake by the people behind him.

"Go down if I ask you to. There's so much nonsense." It turned out that Chang Ning was the one who made the move.

Chang Ning kicked Chang Wu into the lake, then looked at Gu Qiqi and asked, "Girl, are you asking us to go down to catch fish?"

Gu Qiqi: "No."

Chang Wu: "What is that?"

Gu Qiqi: "Hold your breath, dive into the water, and then look for this thing. After you find it, dig along the lotus leaf stalk into the mud until you reach its rhizome, and then take it out carefully, don't break it, I will You need its rhizome. It’s indispensable for making delicious food.”

After Chang Wu heard it, he suddenly realized: "So that's the case, the girl said it earlier, I was kicked down, and I was so cold."

"Hurry up and take action when it's cold, you've already spent all your time talking." After Zhao Hu said that, he took off his thick coat and shoes and jumped down.

Then the foursome started to follow what He Qiqi said, holding their breath and looking for delicious food in the water.

Although the water in the lake is deep, it is nothing to Chang Wu and the other grown men.

In the past, when I was in the north, it was common to work in the snow.

Nowadays, I have martial arts and internal strength, and my body is incomparable to the past. It is no problem to go to the lake to dig lotus roots in the southern winter.

So in the next scene, Gu Qiqi was also very busy.

Nangong Ye was fishing with two elders on one side, while Chang and a few others were digging lotus roots on the other side.

Gu Qiqi needs to go to Nangong Ye's place to catch fish, and at the same time go to Chang Wu's place to pick up the lotus roots they dug out.

One morning passed, and there was a good harvest of lotus roots and fish.
