I loaded the farm game

"Pick some and try it!"

"In winter, lotus seeds and lotus roots are great for stewing pork ribs and big bones."

Lin Zhou walked to the edge of the lotus pond, looked down at the water, and found that the depth was not deep, only about thirty or forty centimeters.

Then he put on the equipment he brought with him and got into the water.

However, as soon as he got there, he found that it was not easy to operate.

Although the water depth was only up to his knees, the lotus roots and lotus root strips under the mud were not so easy to harvest.

Maybe the lotus root belt is better, but the lotus root——

Uh--

Lin Zhou suddenly thought of a question, that is, are the lotus leaves or green leaves now? Is the lotus root not fully mature yet?
  After all, lotus roots are harvested only after the leaves have dried up, turned yellow, or even withered.

He has never seen anyone digging lotus roots before, only when the lotus leaves are green and the lotus flowers are in full bloom!
  "So the lotus root referred to here has grown but is not yet fully mature?"

Lin Zhou looked at the roots under the water, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

He felt that it felt a bit strange, and there was another reason: the water.

Generally, when picking lotus roots, water will be released first.

"Let's see if we can pick some lotus root strips! Forget about the lotus roots first!" Lin Zhou said this because he had never picked lotus root strips before.

I have dug lotus roots once or twice, but I always followed the roots randomly and just followed the chance.

Therefore, he could only use the memory of the video of picking lotus root belts in his mind to draw pictures!

"In the video, it seems that you are following the stem of the lotus, which is the stem of the lotus leaf that has just emerged, and is touching down..."

Lin Zhou recalled the appearance of the lotus stalk with his eyes, and soon found the corresponding existence beside him.

Looking at the small section of lotus stalk that emerged from the water with the lotus leaves still wrapped around it, he reached out his hand, held it with one hand, and moved downwards with the other hand.

After running his hand along the bottom of the lotus stalk and digging into the mud, he found something like a knot.

"What comes out along the front of the knot growth is the lotus root belt."

Lin Zhou pinched the strip with his fingers and pulled it to the surface of the water. Then, he pulled a white jade-colored thing up from the bottom of the water.

At the tip of this white strip-shaped object, there is also a bract-shaped bud head.

"Is this the lotus root belt? The color is really pretty!"

Although he hadn't seen the attributes yet, he could identify them by comparing his memories.

The lotus root belt in front of me is about as thick as an adult's thumb. Even though it has just been pulled out of the mud, there is still some muddy water on the surface, but the white color cannot be concealed.

In fact, it is precisely because of the mud that the whiteness is highlighted even more.

Lin Zhou put the lotus root strip into the water again, stirred it and washed it. When he lifted it up again, the color of the white jade was even more vivid.

【Lotus Root Belt】

[Evaluation: Fresh and tender lotus root strips are rich in nutrients and can be eaten in a variety of ways. They can be stir-fried, mixed, pan-fried, steamed, fried, fried, or eaten raw! 】

"The attributes are not bad, and picking them is not difficult. Let's get some and try them out." Lin Zhou nodded slightly after browsing the attribute board of the lotus root belt.

The color and appearance of the lotus root strips can indeed arouse people's appetite.

The bloggers in the video made kimchi, which is snow-white in color, paired with red pickled peppers and wild mountain peppers. When you eat it in your mouth, the crunching sound is very attractive!
  What's more, he had never tasted it before, so he was inevitably curious.

After making this decision, Linzhou began to enter extraction mode.

Work hard in this huge lotus pond.

Follow the new lotus stems and fumble to pull out the lotus root straps below.

As the white and tender lotus root strips were pulled out one after another, the crisp sound of the lotus root strips being broken also sounded among the green lotus leaves.

"One, two, three..."

Lin Zhou buried his head in the lotus pond, counting softly in his mouth.

After half an hour.

When the number in his mouth read one hundred, he stopped pulling out the lotus root strips, broke the last lotus root strip in his hand from the knot, cleaned it, and sent it to the warehouse.

"One hundred sticks should be enough to eat!"

Lin Zhou straightened up and pushed away the lotus leaf next to him. Suddenly, a lotus pod the size of a bowl came into view.

"I almost forgot about you!"

Lin Zhou looked at the lotus pod and muttered in his heart.

I was so immersed in the world of lotus belts that I didn't pay attention to the lotus pods above my head.

However, now that he had remembered it, he naturally took off the lotus pod next to him without hesitation.

And, looking at the plump lotus seeds on the lotus pod, he decisively opened the lotus pod and took out one.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhou didn't even look at the attributes. He bit open the lotus seeds, peeled off the skin, split them in half, and picked off the bitter buds inside.

After skillfully completing this series of actions, he threw the lotus seed meat directly into his mouth.

After chewing twice, the sweet taste in the lotus seed flesh overflows.

"Yeah! Much more delicious than the lotus seeds I ate when I was a kid!"

Lin Zhou tasted it carefully. The lotus seeds like this were fresh and sweet, and tasted very good, just like eating some sweet and crisp fruit nuts.

Once the lotus seeds get old, the texture and sweetness will no longer be so delicious.

Moreover, old lotus seeds are extremely hard, and it was difficult for them to bite them with their teeth when they were young.

Therefore, if you want to eat lotus seeds, you should eat them when they are green and not old.

In addition, lotus seeds are old and will fall off on their own if they are not harvested in time.

Like the lotus root growers in their previous village, they didn't collect mature lotus seeds at all and usually left them to fend for themselves.

【Lotus pod (lotus seeds)】

【Quality: 2】

【属性加成：味美+2、鲜甜+2、脆嫩+2、养心安神+2、益肾+2】

[Evaluation: Lotus pods are delicious and should not be consumed in excess! 】

After taking a look at the attributes, Lin Zhou quickly peeled out the remaining lotus seeds from the lotus pod and put it into his pocket.

Then I looked for lotus pods in the lotus pond.

pat!pat!
  Every time a stem with a lotus pod was broken, another lotus pod was put into Linzhou's warehouse.

Compared with harvesting lotus root strips, the workload is undoubtedly several times simpler.

You only need to find the stem of the lotus pod and confirm the size of the lotus pod, and you are ready to start.

And getting started is very simple, just skim the stem.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Linzhou to pick twenty or thirty large lotus pods.

After he felt that the quantity was about the same, he stopped picking and walked ashore from the lotus pond.

In his hand, he held two lotus pods that he picked on the way back, and he planned to peel them while walking.

The lotus seed I just ate was completely unsatisfactory.

However, just as he was about to leave, he looked at the large lotus leaves and suddenly thought of something in his mind. He turned back to the pond and picked dozens of long and huge lotus leaves.

Then, he took the lotus pods and continued walking towards the unfamiliar place in the forest.

"Kacha kacha!" Lin Zhou kept walking while chewing the sweet lotus seeds.

Unknowingly, he went deep into a dense forest.

Just after he dropped another peeled lotus seed into his mouth, a familiar message finally appeared in front of him.

[An edible wild fungus was found [-] meters ahead! 】

"Wild fungus again?"

Lin Zhou looked at the information prompts that appeared in front of him and muttered to himself.

For him, the frequency of wild fungi appearing is a bit high, and each time it appears, it brings him something relatively precious.

Therefore, the next moment, his pace could not help but speed up.

little time.

Lin Zhou came to the prompt location. At this moment, he could already see the target in his eyes.

They were blossoms, pure white in color, and shaped like fluffy chrysanthemums.

Blossoming, growing on the trunk, like pure white flowers blooming on the trunk.

"This thing-" Lin Zhou stared at the "flowers" on the tree, frowning slightly, feeling an indescribable feeling of familiarity in his heart.

Of course, he has seen pure white flowers like this before, but this is definitely not a "flower" in front of him.

and so--

Just as Lin Zhou was reminiscing, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Tremella fuciformis!!!"

That's right!

Seeing the snow-white "flowers" growing on the trees in front of him, he finally remembered where the familiar feeling came from.

This snow-white "flower" is very similar to the white fungus in the white fungus soup he drank before.

Although the white fungus in the soup is not a whole flower like this, the color and transparency are very similar to the "flower" in front of me.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhou stepped forward and gently touched a "flower" on the trunk of the tree with his hand.

Smooth, soft and stretchy!
  Moreover, when viewed from a close distance, the color of the "flower" becomes even more white and pure, appearing translucent.

Combining the above characteristics, smooth, soft, elastic, and white, it looks like——

jelly!

Yes, it felt to Lin Zhou like jelly that was not too solid.

At this time, the attributes of the "flower" also appeared in front of him.

【Wild Tremella】

【Quality: 2】

【属性加成：淡香+2、弹性+2、软糯+2、胶质+2、美容祛斑+2、减肥+2】

[Evaluation: Tremella fuciformis, known as the “Crown of Fungi”, is a good product for health preservation. However, please note that fresh Tremella fuciformis cannot be eaten directly and must be processed before consumption! 】

“It’s really Tremella!”

Lin Zhou fiddled with the white "petals" of Tremella fungus twice with his fingers and thought to himself.

"But can't we eat fresh white fungus directly? This will definitely increase our knowledge!"

After digesting the information in the Tremella attribute panel, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't know this, because he had always eaten white fungus at banquets or buffets, and had already prepared it. He had never eaten it at home.

Moreover, the ones bought outside seem to be finished products, and there is no fresh white fungus.

However, at this time, Lin Zhou thought of the reminder that had just appeared. This Tremella fungus was a fungus.

Fungus words!

It should be somewhat similar to mushrooms.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhou suddenly understood!
  After all, there are quite a few people who end up in the hospital every year because of undercooked mushrooms.

Some restaurants that specialize in making mushrooms even prevent this from happening by not handing out chopsticks before the mushrooms are cooked.

Therefore, the same fungus, although the species is different, may have similar characteristics in some places.

"We'll see if the warehouse can process it directly, otherwise we'll have to do it outside!" Lin Zhou muttered softly.

This white fungus is quite nourishing!
  It's winter outside now, so I can make a pot of it every now and then.

Then, Lin Zhou took in the remaining attributes at a glance.

I paid a little attention to the freckle removal, but didn't pay too much attention to other points.

Because things with such effects have already existed before.

After seeing the functional properties of the white fungus, Lin Zhou started picking it.

To be honest, these big white fungi have a flawless appearance, which makes people really reluctant to destroy them.

Therefore, Lin Zhou was extremely careful when he started. He opened his palms, gently wrapped the white fungus on the tree trunk, and then applied a slight force.

Hearing a slight sound, he "plucked" the big snow-white white fungus from the trunk.

The fluffy ball could cover Lin Zhou's palm.

He leaned in front of the white fungus in Tremella's hand and twitched his nose slightly. Sure enough, a faint fragrance, like jasmine, floated into his nose.

"If this was placed in ancient times, it would definitely be a top-notch tribute!" Lin Zhou sighed, thinking of the people in those movies and TV shows, in the palace, and when visiting people, they would tell you what kind of white fungus and bird's nest soup you made.

After sighing with emotion, he sent the intact white fungus to the warehouse and started his picking work again.

Because he was sure that there was nothing wrong with the method just now, he "caught" it boldly.

As soon as I catch a white fungus, the number of white fungi on the tree trunk also decreases at a rapid speed.

Of course, Lin Zhou did not pick some small Tremella fuciformis that had not grown yet and left them on the trees.

In a short time, he had picked almost all the white fungi on the nearby trees.

The main reason is that Lin Zhou feels that the Tremella fuciformis he is picking now are all fresh Tremella fuciformis, which probably have more moisture.

Therefore, after processing into dry goods, there may be an order of magnitude reduction.

So I picked a little more.

“Full harvest, full harvest!”

After picking the last white fungus, Lin Zhou looked at it carefully before putting it into the warehouse. He said leisurely: "I wonder when I can randomly go to a place with a higher altitude!"

That's right!

When he was picking the white white fungus just now, he unconsciously thought of the Tianshan Snow Lotus on the snow-capped mountains.

He felt that the appearance of the white fungus in front of him matched the name Xuelian somewhat!

Pure white, clean, transparent, like a flower.

Of course, Lin Zhou had also seen snow lotus in online videos, but it was quite different from this white fungus.

However, the name Tianshan Snow Lotus is too legendary for people like Lin Zhou who have experienced the era of martial arts movies, TV dramas and novels.

Therefore, I can't help but have the idea of ​​picking one to realize my dream.

“I don’t know if it will snow this year. If it doesn’t, I might as well find a place with snow and go out to play!”

Lin Zhou had another idea in his mind.

After all, for most people born in the south, snow is really a rare thing.

In his memory, it only snowed a few times in winter here. (End of chapter)
