Lotus flowers are full of treasures. Not only do they have ornamental value, they can also be eaten as tea when picked and dried.
Lotus tea clears away heat and relieves summer heat, it¡¯s delicious!
In the city, there are all kinds of cold drinks, milkshakes and other good products to cool off the summer heat. In the countryside, these are the local products. Chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, lotus tea, all have unique flavors!
At the moment, the lotus flowers were blooming just in time, so He Fan went down the mountain and called his parents, planning to pick some lotus flowers in the pond and dry them in the sun to make lotus tea!
He Fan also made a special trip to the old village chief¡¯s house.
The village used to raise fish in the reservoir to attract people from the city to come to the farmhouse to fish. In the early years, a wooden boat was built to scatter fish fry. Later, the fish in the reservoir reproduced on their own and there was no need to scatter fish fry. This wooden boat was Idle.
As a collective asset, it has been kept at the old village chief¡¯s house!
He Fan planned to borrow it and put it in his lotus pond. It would be more convenient for mom and dad to pick lotus flowers when they have nothing to do!
After explaining the purpose of his visit to the old village chief, the old village chief quickly ordered his son to carry out the wooden boat:
"What do I mean? You're right. The boat was just maintained a few days ago. It was nailed and oiled. It was all made of good tung oil. You won't have any problem taking it and keeping it!" "
He Fan was also happy when he heard this:
"Then I won't be polite, second uncle!"
Because this wooden boat has a wooden structure, and shipbuilding in the countryside is not that professional, as long as it is stored for a long time without maintenance, it will face a leakage problem.
Some wooden boats that have been in disrepair can still be used floating in the water, but they are also very uncomfortable.
It even requires one person to keep scooping water out with a basin. If the scooping is too slow, the boat may sink!
But applying tung oil for maintenance can greatly alleviate this problem!
The sealing performance of tung oil is one of the best! As for nailing the boat, it is because the wood will swell when soaked in water. If it is not in the water for a long time, the water in the hull will be dried out, and the structure of the entire boat will be somewhat deformed, and the wood may even rot!
Adding boat nails can make the hull structure stronger. Otherwise, the boat will fall apart in the water. How embarrassing!
Routine maintenance of wooden boats, including caulking and patching, is a complete process.
Since the old village chief had maintained the wooden boat in the village, it saved He Fan a lot of effort.
He Fan took a look at the condition of the wooden boat and found that it was indeed well maintained. He immediately gave the old man a thumbs up.
Old village chief, 666!
After chatting with the old village chief, He Fan walked to the wooden boat, put his waist and horse together, grabbed both sides of the wooden boat with both hands, and with a little force, he carried the wooden boat on his back!
It looks like a big turtle shell!
Beside, the old village chief and his family were all stunned!
Although this wooden boat is not a big boat, when the village originally built this boat, it could only use solid wood cut from the mountains.
It¡¯s so heavy!
Didn¡¯t you see that the two sons of the second uncle¡¯s family were carried out with all their strength just now?
But now, He Fan actually carried it on his back alone!
Is this the overlord still alive?
To be honest, such a small weight is really not enough for He Fan. If he didn't want to be too shocking, He Fan wouldn't even bother to pretend, he could just lift it with one hand!
If the Grandmaster gets angry, he might be able to overturn the excavator!
The old village chief could only admire and say:
"Today's young people, who live a good life and eat well, have strength! It's as strong as my old man when I was young! When I was young, my strength was famous all over the country!"
¡°That¡¯s right, when you were young, you were definitely better than me!¡±
Everyone carries the sedan chair!
He Fan followed the old man's words and flattered him, making the old man laugh!
After saying his goodbyes, He Fan carried the wooden boat out of the old village chief's house and walked toward the lotus pond on the mountain.
When we arrived at the edge of the pond, my parents had been waiting for a long time. They launched the wooden boat directly into the water, took out the tied oars from the cabin, and rowed the boat directly to the center of the pond!
As for He Fan, he plunged into the pond with a sudden move.
The small wooden boat borrowed from the old village chief¡¯s house is just right for two people. There are too many people and it¡¯s difficult to balance!
He Fan is in the water,??It was more convenient, just like a loach, it got up in the lotus pond.
Soon, He Fan picked a large handful of beautiful lotus flowers in his hand!
And over there, the cabin in the middle of the ship was also filled with lotus flowers picked by He Weihai and his wife!
In addition to lotus flowers, He Fan¡¯s family also picked a lot of lotus leaves.
This thing can also be made into tea and soaked in water, and the taste is still good!
He Fan threw the lotus in his hand into the cabin. He turned around and dived into the pond again. When he emerged again, he had a few lively yellow fish in his hand!
In this pond, grass carp, carp, etc. have to be supplied to Qinghai Xuan, but the family has not eaten this Huang Yatou for a while.
Taking advantage of today¡¯s opportunity, grab two or three kilograms and try something new at noon!
After getting on and off the boat a few more times, it was estimated that Huang Yatou in the cabin already weighed three or four pounds, so He Fan gave up!
¡°Then, He Weihai controlled the oar and parked the boat at the edge of the pond.
The family transported the cabin full of freshly picked lotus flowers, as well as three or four kilograms of yellow flowers, to their yard down the mountain!
As for the small wooden boat, just leave it in the lotus pond.
After all, a lotus pond without a wooden boat lacks poetry!
¡°Besides, the village doesn¡¯t need it now anyway.
The lotus tea made from the lotus flowers in this cabin is probably enough for my family to drink for a while.
In autumn, there is also chrysanthemum tea, so you don¡¯t need to prepare too much!
After getting the lotus flowers into the yard, my mother got busy. These lotus flowers had to be cleaned. Although these lotus flowers were often exposed to the rain, they were inevitably dirty due to the wind and sun.
?????????????????????? General Duck, and the fallen feathers of his duck soldiers might be stained on them, and they need to be cleaned!
After the lotus leaves were cleaned, Dad went to the kitchen to boil water.
These fresh lotus leaves must be steamed first! After high temperature, the fragrance inside is stimulated, and the made lotus leaf tea tastes better, the leaves are greener, and it is full of color, fragrance and flavor!
After steaming, place it in the sun to dry out the lotus leaves.
The moisture content of lotus leaves is much higher than that of ordinary peach blossoms and chrysanthemums, so they must be exposed to the sun to avoid mold!
As for lotus, if it is used to make tea, there is another mystery.
Although the lotus flower itself has a refreshing fragrance, when it is soaked in water, it loses its smell once it is washed with water. Therefore, if you want to make tea, it is different from the lotus leaf!
Father He asked He Fan to find the tea leaves at home.
These tea leaves are all loose tea leaves weighed from the market when He Weihai went to the market. They have nothing to do with the precious Tieguanyin Longjing tea!
Most of them are ordinary tea made from tea leaves grown on wild tea trees in the mountains and fried!
Usually, it is soaked in water to adjust the taste, or sometimes it is used in cooking. To be honest, the taste is not as good as the tea made from honeysuckle and chrysanthemum!
But now, it comes in handy!
He Weihai took some of these tea leaves and stuffed them into the middle of the stamens of the lotus buds. Then he found a thin rope and tied the top of the buds to form a sealed space!
After spending a night in the shade, those wild tea leaves can absorb the fragrance of the lotus stamens.
To put it simply, wild tea leaves are a carrier. After absorbing the fragrance of lotus, these tea leaves can be brewed with the flavor of lotus!
This is the wisdom of mountain people! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
