Yin or Zheng was pulling the bamboo hat on his head uncomfortably, which Man Bao brought for them, because she felt that even they needed to wear a bamboo hat to prevent sunburn, and Yin probably needed it even more.
So I brought out the two remaining bamboo hats at home, and gave them to Yin or Liu Huan at the intersection.
They put it on when they got out of the car, because Zhou Man and Bai Shanbai Erlang both wore it, and Liu Huan didn't feel much when he put it on, and he played as he wanted.
But Yin Ru was not used to it, mainly because the bamboo hat was a little too big, and it covered his eyes when he put it on his head.
Hearing Bai Shan's words, he glanced down at the pile of lotus pods on the ground, randomly picked the largest one and handed it to Man Bao.
Man Bao hugged them all together, while Liu Huan chose one carefully with a vague understanding, and finally chose one for some unknown reason.
Bai Shan paid the money together.
The peddler is quite clever, at least he can count without any problem. The capital city is not like Luojiang County, where he doesn’t count the money after taking the money. The peddler insisted on counting the bunch of money.
When the money and the goods were settled, Bai Shan took the lotus pod from Man Bao and stuffed it to them, and took the two he had chosen, "Let's go, let's rent a boat, Bai Er, Ren Ke and Qiao Tao are here. where?"
While peeling the lotus seeds, Bai Erlang raised his head, turned around and said, "I don't know, just walk along the lake, you will always find it. We agreed to meet by the lake at Sishi, and it's past Sishi now." , they probably have already boarded the ship."
Bai Shan then stopped looking, saw that there were a lot of people, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Man Bao out of the way first, and then pulled Man Bao over after the wave of people had passed.
Holding a lotus pod in one hand and a bamboo hat in the other, Yin Or followed them with difficulty. Changshou, who had parked his car and caught up, saw them and hurried forward to help him get the lotus seeds and protect him as he walked forward.
After walking for a while but still not finding Ren Ke, Bai Shan said, "I don't want to look anymore, let's rent a boat first."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, glanced at the idle boats on the shore, pointed to a boat that looked more pleasing to the eye, and said, "Let's rent this one."
Daji, who also followed, stepped forward to rent a boat.
The two quickly negotiated the price, and everyone boarded the boat.
This boat is for wealthy tourists. The cabin is well furnished, with a fixed table and a tea set on it. There is also a tea stove in the corner of the cabin for making tea.
The boatman has also received many ladies and gentlemen, and he was a little stunned when he suddenly saw five people wearing bamboo hats.
He glanced at the bamboo hats on their heads, then at the clothes on their bodies, and then at Changshou and other servants who were not wearing bamboo hats and were raising their hands to wipe their sweat. Bend over and let them aboard.
Then recommend the tea on their boat like other rich ladies and gentlemen. After successfully selling a pot of tea, they slid the boat out of the shallow water and into the lake...
The boat slowly drifted towards the center of the lake. Man Bao took off the bamboo hat on his head, felt that his hair was a little loose, so he stretched out his hand to pull it.
Bai Shan couldn't see it, so he stretched out his hand to help her tidy up. Liu Huan also felt that it hurt his eyes, so he and Bai Erlang turned their heads aside, and also took off the bamboo hat on their heads and threw it aside.
Yin Rucai really breathed a sigh of relief, he handed over the bamboo hat to Changshou, and found a seat in the cabin to sit down.
He turned his head and told Changshou, "Go make tea."
He took the lotus seeds from his hand, but didn't know how to peel them for a while, so he couldn't help but look at Bai Shan and Man Bao who were opposite.
Man Bao and Bai Shan had already peeled out the lotus seeds, and then peeled off the lotus flesh, without hesitation, they just threw it into their mouths and ate it.
Sweet and bitter, it is still delicious, and the fragrance of lotus seeds makes people feel refreshed.
Seeing Yin or looking at them, but not moving his hands, Man Bao couldn't help asking, "You don't know how to eat lotus seeds, do you?"
Yin said shyly: "I'm not in good health, my family never gives me these things, and my family won't eat them in front of me."
When they heard this, they immediately looked at him sympathetically, and sympathized with his family members by the way, especially the three older sisters who were about the same age as him.
I don't know if they have eaten lotus seeds.
Bai Shan said: "Peel out the lotus seeds first."
Yin Or followed their example and peeled a hole, but found that the lotus seeds inside were very small. He thought for a while, put it aside, and continued to peel another one, but when he peeled it off, he found that the inside was empty.
Even Bai Er turned his head back and looked at him sympathetically.
Bai Shan reached out to take the lotus pod in his hand, squeezed it, and finally found that the lotus pod was quite big, but nearly one-third of it was empty or very small, almost inedible lotus seeds, and One third is undersized, and the remaining third is of varying sizes, but within the normal range.
Bai Shan put the "only remaining" lotus seeds in his palm, and said with a suppressed smile, "Eat it."
Bai Erlang stuffed the lotus seed in his hand into his mouth, and sympathetically chose one of his three big lotus pods for him, "No, I'll give it to you."
Yin thanked him, then looked at the lotus seeds peeled out from the hands of the four, and found that the lotus pods chosen by Bai Shan and the others were the best, so he couldn't help being curious, "How did you choose them?"
These three people really haven't learned it, but it's all based on experience and feeling.
Man Bao said: "We have picked a lot of lotus pods."
Bai Shan felt a little nostalgic, "That lotus pod is very delicious."
Bai Erlang pointed out the reason, "Won't the big and many lotus pods that you got for nothing be delicious?"
Liu Huan asked curiously, "Why did you get it for nothing?"
Bai Shan hurried ahead of Bai Erlang and said reservedly: "Because it's ownerless, whoever sees it can pick it off, so it's free."
"Is the lotus pond actually wild?" Liu Huan cheered up and said, "They say there are many lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River. I know that there are many wild lotus ponds in some water towns. I didn't expect that Luojiang County also has them."
Man Bao said: "The place where we pick the lotus pods is not in Luojiang County, but in Yizhou City."
Liu Huan exclaimed: "Yizhou City is so good, there is such a place?"
At this moment, Bai Erlang finally reached a consensus with the two of them, and the three of them nodded together: "Isn't that right, it's okay, not only the lotus pond is unowned, but also many flowers and plants are unowned, haha Ha ha… "
When Liu Huan saw that they had succeeded in this way, he also yearned for it.
Bai Shan and the others laughed too loudly and cheerfully, and soon attracted the attention of other boats in the lake that were close to them.
A head popped out of a boat not far in front of them, and shouted in their direction: "Bai Shan, Bai Cheng, is that you?"
Bai Cheng sat close to the hatch, poked his head out immediately, and saw him yelled happily, "Qiao Tao, I finally found you, why didn't you wait for us to get on the boat, and made it hard for us to find you." .”
Several people on the boat: ... didn't bother to look for it at all.
