Isn't this guy too busy with things in Yongdu? How could this happen here?
Also, if this guy, as the king of a country, runs away, who will handle the affairs of the country?
The flood has not passed yet, what should the people do?
There were so many doubts that Gu Qiqi couldn't help but frown.
But at this time, Nangong Ye had already followed his grandfather and walked forward, and Gu Qiqi could no longer ask him to answer his questions 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 realized that his granddaughter had not followed, then turned around and shouted.
"Oh, it's coming, it's coming." Gu Qiqi trotted over quickly.
Then he looked at Nangong Ye and began to teach his grandfather and father how to fish.
"Before fishing, we have to make a nest first. Even if we throw some of this bait into the lake, don't do it too much. Otherwise, the fish will be fed and they won't eat the bait on the hook."
"This is the prepared fishing bait. After making the nest, put a little bit of this bait on the fishhook. Just like that, after it is done, throw it out. When you throw it, throw it to the place where you just made the nest."
"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, took the hook out of the fish's mouth, and put the fish in the fishing net.
The fish caught in this way will neither die nor escape.
"Are you ready?" Gu Qiqi looked at her father and grandfather and asked.
"Let me give it a try." Gu Bei said and began to operate step by step according to the method of taking care of the Qiqi Sect.
Sure enough, as soon as the hook was lowered, the fish took the bait.
This time I caught a big carp.
Mr. Qi on the side saw this and quickly started fishing.
At this time, only Nangong Ye was left without a fishing rod. Seeing this, Gu Qiqi said, "You can use my set of tools."
Nangong Ye: "What about you?"
Gu Qiqi: "It's okay. I see you are fishing the same way. I will get a few more sets of tools another day. Then the eldest brother and the second brother will definitely like fishing too."
"Then we will fish together. I will be responsible for fishing, and you will be responsible for catching the fish."
"That's okay. Then whether I catch any fish today depends on whether you can catch the 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...
But suddenly, Nangong Ye's fishhook caught something and got stuck.
"What's going on?" Nangong Ye looked confused.
Gu Qiqi also looked puzzled, took the fishing rod in Nangong Ye's hand and pulled hard, and finally pulled out a lotus leaf stalk.
Looking at this stalk, Gu Qiqi asked: "Grandpa, are there lotus flowers planted in our 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 a lotus leaf stalk while fishing that he discovered it.
Mr. Qi replied: "Yes, your grandmother likes lotus, so she brought back a lot of seeds when she came back from Yongdu."
"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 given to the late Queen as an ornamental flower by a neighboring country more than ten years ago.
Later, the late empress planted lotus seeds in the lake in the palace.
Later, this lake naturally became the most treasured lake of the late empress.
Every year when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the late empress would invite all the concubines and officials to come and enjoy the flowers.
One time 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 finally the imperial doctor discovered that the lotus seeds were not only edible, but could also clear away heat and relieve fire.
Lotus heart also 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.
But so far no one has discovered that there are treasures under the mud.
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 Wu heard about the 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 does 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 that she has become a girl,..."
Plop - before Chang Wu could finish his words, he was kicked into the lake by the person 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 is indispensable for making delicious food.”
After Chang Wu heard this, he suddenly realized: "That's it. If you had told me earlier, I would have been kicked off. I was so cold."
"Hurry up and do it if you're cold, I've spent all my time talking." After Zhao Hu said that, he took off his thick coat and shoes and jumped down.
Then the group of four began 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, working in heavy snow was common in the north.
Nowadays, there are martial arts and internal strength, and the 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 a few people 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.
