Water chestnut is a warm-loving plant. Its growth temperature is 10 degrees to 25 degrees, and it is not resistant to cold and high temperature drought.

Under artificial cultivation, it is usually cultivated in spring, and it is harvested in the autumn short daylight and harvested in August of the lunar calendar. The water chestnuts in Ambergris are wild and have different maturity times. They are produced from early September to early October of the Gregorian calendar.

I ate a few bites at noon, and in the afternoon they went to Ambergris together.

In mid-September, even though the sun is still bright, there is no longer the scorching summer heat.

The autumn is clear and cool. Ao Muyang looked up at the sky. The sky was blue and it seemed to be even higher. He looked up at the sky with his back to the sun, endless!

The autumn lake becomes quieter, the autumn wind swept slightly, the lake surface ripples gently, and the autumn lake water seems to be bluer. I don’t know if it is because it reflects the blue sky.

Wooden boats are floating on the lake, some are casting nets, some are fishing, some are swimming in the lake, groups of gray ducks and white geese are wandering on the lake, and wild birds are flying and falling from time to time, making a leisurely scenery.

When I saw Ao Muyang, someone in the village waved: "Brother Yang, come and play fish? I'm very sure to get on my boat."

Ao Muyang smiled and pointed to the lush aquatic plants by the lake and said, "I'll dig water chestnuts, Shunzi, go and play."

The small boats in the village are doing tourist business. Tourists can spend a hundred yuan to book a small boat and float on the lake for an afternoon. The price is very affordable.

At this time, it is most suitable to visit the lake. The lake water in autumn is particularly clear. In addition to deeper waters like the center of the lake, you can even see the bottom of the lake, see the fish swimming in the lake, see the sand and stones at the bottom of the lake, and also see the roots of some aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake.

If you can rock the boat, it would be even more wonderful to spend 40 or 50 yuan to rent a small wooden boat to go to the lake by yourself.

As the wooden oars sway, the lake water splashed, and under the brilliant sunlight, the waves were as crystal clear as diamond flowers, which was the most romantic for young men and women.

There are many aquatic plants, wild arrowroot, cattails, and tall wild plants growing by the lake.

The squid is a very strong aquatic plant. They can grow taller than humans, lush, thick and strong.

This plant is a perennial aquatic herb. If the water chestnuts are not dug out, they will grow again in the next year after they dry up in winter.

The water chestnuts can be eaten, but they are not delicious. Although the villages around Ambergris are not rich, they are not too poor to eat, so no one comes to dig water chestnuts.

Moreover, not all whales are suitable for digging out. Every year, some newly born whales have some small whales. The roots of these don’t grow into water, and it will be a waste of digging after digging.

In addition, when the plant is taller than someone, it cannot be eaten. Its water chestnuts are very big and very firewood, so it cannot be cooked. The ones they dig are more than one meter high, and the water chestnuts they breed are the most tender.

Ao Fugui brought the iron shovel, he spitted into his hand twice, and said, "Young and young men, get angry!"

Ao Muyang rolled his eyes: "Is the mental illness going on again? Do it honestly, don't dig here, it's a bear, it's not delicious."

In front of them, a pile of water chestnuts swayed in the wind. Although they were not very tall, they were very thick. This is Xiongji.

In fact, the name of Xiong Jiao is exactly Xiong Jiao. The rice is infected by black powder bacteria and cannot grow rice by ear. The stems are abnormal and become wild rice.

Some of the plants are very strong, namely the male water plant. They are particularly resistant to disease. The mycelium of black powder fungus cannot invade and cannot form wild rice plant. In summer and autumn, their flower stems will stretch and then bloom, which is very beautiful.

When Ao Fugui gets down a shovel, he cannot pull out the shovel or shovel it up at this time. The function of the shovel is to cut off its root system and then lift its plants up.

He lifted a linger and shook it for a while, without any expansion and protrusions: "Damn, let you say it right."

Ao Muyang was speechless.

The two of them walked along the lake and happened to meet a young man who was pestering tourists. After seeing Ao Muyang, the young man turned around and ran away.

Ao Muyang frowned and said, "What are he doing? Are he doing something illegal?"

Ao Fugui looked at the wick by the lake and said, "Hi, a grandson from Wangjia Village, he must be fooling tourists to buy something."

Ao Muyang said: "What did he see me running?"

"I'm afraid of you. You are famous in Wangjia Village now." Ao Fugui smiled.

The tourist who was entangled by the young nodded gratefully to him when he heard this. Ao Muyang couldn't laugh or cry. Is he a bad reputation now?

There were many wild rice beside the lake. Ao Fugui found another piece and shoveled it down. He carried it up and shoveled it for a few times, revealing a snow-white, delicate and swollen rhizome. This is the water chestnut.

The two tourists next to him also noticed it. The female tourists asked hesitantly: "Is this water chestnut?"

Ao Muyang nodded: "Yes, water chestnuts, if you like to eat, you can dig some here, and then go back to the village farmhouse to process them. The water chestnuts here are pure natural and pollution-free."

He rolled up his trousers and went down to the lake, digging two handfuls of mud to see, to see if there are leeches in the lake. The creatures in Ambergris are extremely fat, and even leeches are the same. Once they are bitten, it will be quite troublesome.

The water area is pretty good. He dug a few handfuls of mud and found no trace of leeches. It seemed that the surrounding area was very safe.

After picking up a shovel and shoveling it down, Ao Muyang also picked up a pine tree.

He looked at it and shook his head: "Unfortunately, I met Cinderella."

Cinderella is a common name for the local ash. Some of the vegetation is too ripe, or the mycelium of the black powder fungus inside grows too much, which will make the vegetation full of dark brown spores, so it will naturally be impossible to eat it.

Ao Fugui stood on the shovel and felt sad: "Oh, when will I meet my Cinderella?"

Ao Muyang threw the wick in his hand to him: "Here, go back and hug him."

Ao Fugui immediately laughed and scolded: "Get out!"

Continue to put down the shovel, this wild tree is fresh water chestnut. Ao Muyang washed it in the lake and handed it to the general. The general carried it to the shore and put it down and ran back to wait.

The head of state squatted on the shore to guard the guard. The first time a tourist saw collecting wild rice rice, he started to pick it up and took a look.

Seeing this, the head of state immediately became furious: "Meow! Meow!"

Ao Muyang stood up and shouted, "First of the People, let's see, don't be so stingy, they are not trying to steal our things."

After hearing his words, the head of state put away his body and lay on the shore, basking in the sun lazily.

The tourists were surprised when they saw it: "Oh, brother, your cat is really spiritual."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "A animal like cats has spirituality."

The general thrust his legs with his tail, and he had to add: "Of course, dogs are spiritual."

As he said that, he touched the general's head, and the general squinted his eyes and drooped his tongue, looking like he was enjoying his face.

One after another, Ao Muyang packed up a lot of water chestnuts. He cut the water chestnuts on the spot and threw the plants back into the lake. They would gradually rot and be eaten by fish, shrimps and crabs, or turn into nutrients to settle to the bottom of the lake. The water chestnuts were taken home as vegetables by him.
