Chapter 1152 Han Cheng: I love touching lotus root! (2 in 1)
Tens of thousands of hectares of blue waves were rippling, and five small boats rowed from the shore one after another. In the ripples, they sailed into the tens of thousands of hectares of blue waves, becoming the scenery in the blue waves and integrating with them.
He put on a small pea with many wooden pieces tied to his clothes, and holding a short stick in his hand, he lowered it into the water from the side of the boat.
As the boat moved forward, the small stick was shaken by the impact of the water flow, and brought up some water splashes. The little pea smiled happily and showed its little white teeth.
Han Cheng originally wanted to stand on the bow and take a good look at the scenery.
It's just that there are two little ones on the boat, Xiao Wandou and Xiao Xing'er, who are at their lively and active age. Bai Xuemei is also holding a little guy in her arms, so she can't bear to look at the two little guys.
So Han Cheng had no choice but to sit in the cabin, holding a little guy's arm with one hand, and experience taking a boat tour on the lake.
Safety is greater than the sky.
Especially the safety of your own family.
Although before boarding the ship, Han Cheng had already made the two little guys promise not to move, but when they actually got on the ship, Han Cheng was still uneasy.
After all, children often have goldfish attributes.
In addition to Han Cheng's family, there was also a man driving the boat.
This man is an experienced sailor.
Because he has been fishing in this wild duck lake for nearly two years and has experienced many winds and waves.
Wu, Yuan, Shitou, and two people were in another boat.
The remaining three boats were also filled with people. Except for the rowers, the others came with Han Cheng, Wu and his party to act as guards.
Han Cheng looked at the water in the distance for a while, then turned his attention to the boat he was riding on.
This boat is made of wooden planks.
Because there were many thick trees in this era, the bottom of the ship was made directly from a separate wooden board!
On the bottom of the boat, wooden planks are spliced.
Bronze nails were used to nail the erected wooden boards to the bottom of the ship, and glue made from boiled fish bladders was used to glue the gaps.
Both ends of the bow of the ship are tilted upward.
Overall the above is flat.
The entire cabin is not a whole. In the cabin, near the bow and stern on both sides, there is a partition, which divides the entire cabin into three spaces, one large in the middle and one smaller at both ends.
The combined area of the space at both ends of the boat is approximately the same as the area in the middle.
With this design, even if there is an accident and a hole is made in the bottom of the boat and water begins to leak, with these partitions in place, the boat will still not sink.
The rower is in the small cabin at the stern of the boat, and either uses a pennant or an oar to row.
The small cabin at the bow of the ship was sealed and flattened with wooden boards to make it easier for people to get on and off the ship.
This is the new ship of the Qingque Tribe.
It has been two or three years since these new ships came out.
Although bamboo rafts are good, they are still not as good as boats.
So under the guidance of Han Cheng, led by Lai, the first carpenter in the tribe, began to make new ships.
According to the existing tools and materials in the tribe, there are not many material difficulties in making such a boat.
So after some attempts, such a boat finally appeared in the Qingque tribe.
The inside and outside of the ship were painted with layers of tung oil.
Not only is it waterproof, it can also effectively prevent ships from rotting.
This kind of ship is actually Han Cheng's imitation of later ships.
There is a big river in Han Cheng's hometown.
There are rivers blocking the way to the west, north and east.
If you want to avoid the river and go out, there is only one way to go south.
Since then, if you want to go to places across the river, you have to take a very long detour.
In the past, transportation was underdeveloped, and there were basically no motorcycles in any village, only some bicycles with beams.
There are still many people who choose to walk when going out.
So there are people's punting boats on the river for ferrying.
When Han Cheng was a child, he often took a boat like this with his adults to go to the other side, to visit relatives and so on.
Because he had close contact with it and its structure was relatively simple and easy to copy, Han Chenggong copied it into the tribe.
So far, there are already twenty-three such ships in the tribe.
Compared with the previous bamboo rafts and other things, this kind of boat made of wooden boards is undoubtedly lighter and more comfortable to use.
The oars made a splash, breaking the calmness of the lake, and sailed all the way towards the lake.
Finally, we stopped at the small pier built on the edge of Lotus Island.
Stop the boat and go to the shore.
Little Wandou refused to let Han Cheng hold him, and jumped from the bow of the boat to the small pier.
Han Cheng hugged little Xing'er and descended from the bow to Lotus Island.
Compared with before, Lotus Island looks even more beautiful.
The side lacking large trees was kept very clean.
A series of built roads extend from the pier and spread towards the island.
Some houses are being built not too far from the dock.
This is where the fishing tribesmen live in the Wild Duck Lake.
There is still a certain distance between Yeya Lake and Longmen Inn. Fishing people go back and forth between Yeya Lake and Longmen Inn every day, which is very troublesome, so they built houses on Hehua Island and lived in Hehua at night.
You can catch fish at any time on the island.
Very convenient.
As for Lotus Island, these people have already figured it out over the years, and there is no danger. Living there is safer than living on the shore.
There is no need to worry about any big beast coming to attack.
When the little pea and little Xing'er came to the ground, they started running around like crazy.
On the boat before, Han Cheng didn't let them move, but he suppressed them to death.
When you come to Lotus Island, how can you do it without seeing lotus flowers?
After wandering around the island for a while, Han Chengcheng led Wu, Bai Xuemei and his party along the trampled road towards the place with lotus flowers on the west bank.
Before we even came to the place where the lotus grows, there was already a burst of fresh fragrance hitting our face.
This unique lotus leaf, with its refreshing smell, cheered up Han Cheng's spirit, and even his steps could not help but speed up a lot.
After walking forward for a while, a large lotus leaf appeared in front of me.
A gust of wind blew by, and the lush lotus leaves rolled up, revealing some white.
Looking at such a scene, one's spirit can't help but be shaken.
"Wow~"
There was a sound of water waves.
One of the fish was hidden under a lotus leaf. The fish near the shore were startled by the movement of Han Cheng and others. With a swish of its tail, it turned around and dived into the clear water.
At this time, it is still early in the season, the lotus flowers have not yet bloomed, and the unique red scene of the lotus flowers reflected in the sun cannot yet be seen.
However, you can appreciate the infinite green of the lotus leaves.
Just watching from a distance without playing with it is not enough.
It would be a lot less fun.
When looking at lotus leaves, Han Cheng likes to look deeply into them.
So not long after arriving here, Han Chenggong jumped on a small boat, carrying Bai Xuemei, supported by a bamboo pennant, and sailed towards the continuous lotus leaves.
Han Cheng didn't bring any of the three little guys, Xiao Wandou, Xiao Xing'er, and Xiao Huangdou.
It is famously said that the lotus root stems inside have too many thorns and can easily catch people.
When the time comes to get blood marks all over your body, it will be really uncomfortable.
My parents have grown up, their skin is strong, and they are not afraid of...
After such deception, Han Cheng and Bai Xuemei successfully left their children behind and headed deep into the lotus leaves to touch the lotus roots.
Bai Xuemei, who was squatting on the bow of the boat, held a stick in her hand and kept moving it.
As she fluctuated, the lotus leaves in front of the bow parted toward both sides, and the boat was able to smoothly enter the depths of the lotus leaves without damaging them.
As the boat rowed by, the lotus leaves that had been moved returned to their original positions, blocking the way to the future tense.
After a while, the scene on the shore was no longer visible.
Han Cheng did not give up, and continued to slide in while holding the boat.
It was not until gradually that the voices of people on the shore could no longer be heard that the bamboo poles were inserted into the muddy water and the boat was fixed here.
The two people who originally agreed to touch the lotus root did not touch the lotus root, but did other things.
The boat rocked gently, the water waves made a slight sound, and the lotus leaves growing beside the boat also swayed slightly.
The surrounding environment was quiet, with only the distant chirping of birds and the occasional wagging of the tails of nearby fish being heard.
Of course, there are some other, distinctive sounds.
"I love touching lotus roots!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Han Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, said to Bai Xuemei happily.
Hearing what Han Cheng said, Bai Xuemei couldn't help but want to laugh.
She turned her head to look at Han Cheng and rolled her eyes at Han Cheng.
But before the glance was over, he couldn't help but laugh.
The way he becomes shameless as an elder brother makes people laugh.
"Why are you laughing? If you laugh again, I will touch the lotus root."
Han Cheng looked at Bai Xuemei and said with some threat.
After living with Han Cheng for such a long time, Bai Xuemei has changed a lot compared to before.
She has never been afraid of such provocations from Brother Cheng.
"Then come and touch the lotus root!"
Bai Xuemei straightened her body, looked at Han Cheng who was very arrogant, and said with a smile.
Seeing the child bride's appearance, a certain son of God who was so arrogant just now was instantly frightened.
"Don't think about all the things you have and don't have all day long. It's important to do the right thing. How can a serious person like me fall into your trap?"
As Han Cheng said this, he picked up the bamboo pole and pushed the boat closer to the shore.
The water there is relatively shallow, so it's easier to touch lotus roots.
This time it was really lotus root touching, not the other improper lotus root touching.
The boat moved forward, and under the control of Han Dashenzi, who was both physically and mentally happy, it soon reached the shallow water area.
Han Cheng took off his shoes and clothes on the boat, and then went down the side of the boat into the water.
The water is not deep, but the mud is quite deep.
When I tried using a bamboo pole, it only reached the level of my calf. After I got down, I sank into the mud and the water was up to my knees.
It is said that touching the lotus root actually relies mainly on two feet instead of hands.
Han Cheng stood in the water and kept pushing his feet into the mud.
Not long after, Han Chenggong stepped on the lotus root buried in the underwater mud.
Han Cheng, who stepped on the lotus root, did not directly touch the lotus root, but continued to step on it with his feet.
It is no longer a purposeless step, but a step on both sides along the lotus roots that are stepped on.
After doing this for a while, Han Cheng bent down, reached into the water with both hands, and quickly took out a lotus root that was more than half a meter long and thicker than his arm.
"Here, take it!"
Han Cheng said with a smile and handed the lotus root in his hand to Bai Xuemei.
Bai Xuemei, who was on board the boat, immediately had a smile on her face.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand to take the lotus root that Han Cheng took out and placed it in the cabin.
Han Cheng then stepped on the mud with his feet.
It didn't take long before a bunch of lotus roots were taken out of the water again.
The time spent was much shorter than the previous one.
This is because when he touched the first lotus root, he had already stepped on this lotus root.
No need to spend more time looking for lotus root.
The lotus root is like this, in the mud under the water, layer upon layer and intertwined.
Often the lotus roots in a row have not been picked out before the rest of the lotus roots have been encountered.
Within this small area, Han Cheng found a total of five companies from here!
I've only touched the top part, and haven't paid attention to the parts deeper in the mud.
If the deeper silt is also removed, there will be even more!
After touching almost all the lotus roots in this small area, Han Chenggong pulled the boat with his hand, walked forward for a short distance, then stopped, and then continued to touch the lotus roots...
About an hour later, there were more than twenty companies of lotus roots in the cabin of the boat.
It weighs more than one hundred kilograms.
Seeing that there were already a lot of lotus roots inside, Han Cheng stopped touching the lotus roots.
He climbed onto the boat, stood on the bow and washed the mud off his body. After the water on his body was almost dry, he put on his clothes, then punted the boat and sailed towards the shore...
"Dad, why did it take you so long to come back?"
Little Wandou asked after the ship emerged from the layers of lotus leaves.
Hearing her son ask this, Bai Xuemei's face turned red slightly.
A guy like Han Cheng has already been very thick-skinned. For him, this kind of thing is simply a small scene.
"It's hard to touch the lotus root. It takes a lot of effort. Look at what Daddy's hands are like."
Han Cheng said with a smile, and stretched out his hands that were dyed black by lotus roots to show Xiao Wandou.
Sure enough, after seeing Han Cheng's hands, Xiao Wandou stopped entangled in this matter.
The ship docked, and everyone helped to take the lotus roots off the ship.
By this time the sun was already setting in the west, casting a soft glow.
The water surface in the distance was dyed red by the light.
Bai Xuemei, Shitou, Yuan and others are cleaning the lotus roots that Han Cheng took out.
Han Cheng was also preparing the rest of the things...
