Yan Wuyou raised his hand and picked up a string of four cold lotus root cubes in Yang Fan's hand. It was unusually cold in winter, and it was abnormally cold right down to the bone marrow.
"Teacher Yang, put the lotus root on the table." Yan Wuyou said calmly because he was worried that the coldness of the lotus root would cause harm to Yang Fan.
"No." Yang Fan, who endured the biting coldness, immediately responded and piled the lotus roots on the table, then took a few steps back and stood behind the princess to stand by.
Yang Fan's two hands hidden behind his back were rubbing quietly, trying to keep warm and get rid of the cold.
"Teacher Yang, in what month are lotus roots harvested? When did the lotus dry up?" Yan Wuyou asked lightly, looking at the pink lotus root.
"Reporting to the princess, lotus roots can be harvested in September and October. The lotus leaves and stems will naturally wither in October." Yang Fan paused and replied.
It's now more than December, and the lotus leaves and stems have been withering for nearly two months.
In other words, the lotus root has been buried in the mud for nearly two months without stems and leaves! It is actually intact and still looks fresh!
"Why doesn't anyone dig out the lotus roots and eat them?" Yan Wuyou asked casually while flipping the lotus roots in his hand.
"Reporting to the princess, the lotus growing in this pond has always been for viewing only, not for consumption.
I heard that many years ago, some people ate the flowers, leaves, and lotus roots in this pond. They suffered from vomiting and diarrhea in mild cases, and serious illness in severe cases.
The doctor diagnosed it as food poisoning, but ordinary medicine and stones were ineffective, and the doctor was helpless.
It is speculated that the problem lies in the abnormal black lotus root silk. Naike cannot find anything wrong with the black lotus root silk, but eating it will definitely end badly.
Lotus seedlings and lotus seedlings were replaced one after another, but the same situation persisted, so no one dared to eat the things in the pond.
And if you don’t pluck flowers and leaves or dig lotus root pieces, then the dried lotus leaves and lotus stems will sink to the fertile soil in the pond on a cold winter night.
When spring comes next year, the lotus roots will sprout and grow again on their own without any need for management. "
Yang Fan explained in detail that he was worried that the princess would use these lotus roots to make delicacies on a whim! That would not work!
"It's such a weird thing! It's a pity that this pool of lotus flowers is missing." Yan Wuyou sighed softly, turning his head with a slightly raised corner of his mouth to glance at Yang Fan, who was feeling a little embarrassed.
Teacher Yang, this wooden lump, spoke a lot today. This was the most he said in these days of getting along with him.
"Teacher Yang, don't worry too much. I have no intention of eating them." Yan Wuyou said softly with a smile.
"Princess Mingjian." Teacher Yang said with an almost invisible sigh of relief.
Yan Wuyou carried Yang Fan and waved his right hand casually, indicating that he accepted Yang Fan's praise.
Yan Wuyou immediately broke off the lotus root in his hand, and the drawn lotus root silk turned out to be black.
But the lotus root meat is obviously still pink and tender, giving it a good sight, and the sweet lotus root scent is still charming to the sense of smell! This black lotus root silk conflicts with the sense of smell and vision.
Yan Wuyou raised his eyes and glanced at the lotus pond under the pavilion in front of him. The water was so clear that the koi swimming in the pond could be clearly seen. It was obviously not a water quality problem.
Yan Wuyou started again and broke off every section of all the lotus roots that Yang Fan had dug out. The drawn lotus roots were all black without exception!
Yan Wuyou gently lowered his eyes and closed his eyes, releasing his consciousness to the pile of lotus root joints on the table in front of him.
Under Yan Wuyou's conscious recognition, those black lotus root threads flashed out the dark energy of Yin attribute without hiding!
"It turns out that the lotus roots have absorbed dirty energy, so they are no longer suitable for human consumption. Fortunately, this lotus pond has you, otherwise it would be a stagnant pond with no life."
Yan Wuyou whispered to himself while raising his right hand, taking a lotus root and carefully flipping the pile of lotus roots.
But after turning over and over, Yan Wuyou put down the lotus root joints in his hands, and couldn't help but directly touch and pull the black lotus root threads with his hands!
The moment Yan Wuyou came into contact with the cold lotus root threads, the mini gray lotuses on her head had something strange. They shone slightly with gray light, but no one noticed.
"Princess, don't come into contact with black lotus root silk. It's harmful to your health. Wipe it off quickly." Upon seeing this, Yang Fan said in shock,
He casually pulled out a light gray handkerchief from his lapel, walked quickly to the princess, and handed the handkerchief to the princess.
Hearing this, Yan Wuyou suddenly opened his beautiful eyes and looked at Yang Fan, who had a worried expression on his face. Yan Wuyou suddenly felt playful.
"Teacher Yang, a handkerchief is not enough to wipe my princess's hands." The naughty Yan Wuyou smiled and slightly raised Liu Yuemei's eyebrows and said calmly.
But those restless white hands did not stop taking the handkerchief because of Yang Fan's words.
This black lotus root silk with dark energy is much tougher than ordinary lotus root silk.
Wrap them around your hands and play with them. It feels like touching delicate brocade, as smooth and cool as silk, so comfortable!
"Princess, my cloak is clean." Yang Fan said, putting away the handkerchief, taking off the cloak, holding it in his hand, and handed it to the princess.
"..." Yan Wuyou was speechless. Yang Fan, a wooden lump, really couldn't withstand jokes.
How did the original host get along with such subordinates? How do you maintain such boredom to this day?
However, if Yan Wuyou now remembers the reason why his original host Yan Wuyou saved Yang Fan a year ago,
It is the result of carefully weighing the pros and cons. How will the original host be judged? How will you treat Yang Fan?
"This princess is not so pretentious." Yan Wuyou said and rolled his eyes at Yang Fan.
He casually pulled off the black lotus root thread wrapped around his hand.
Looking at the messy lotus root silk in front of him, Yan Wuyou couldn't help but start to knead the lotus root silk into a ball again.
But as he rubbed it, Yan Wuyou discovered something was wrong. He spread his hands and saw that there were traces of black lotus root silk everywhere. His clean hands seemed as if they had never been touched by anything!
"..." Yan Wuyou and Yang Fan were both confused when they saw this.
"...Princess, what's wrong with you?" Yang Fan asked cautiously, but strong uneasiness and worry surged in his heart. This is a problem with Black Lotus Roots!
"...I don't feel any discomfort, it's okay." Yan Wuyou closed his eyes and felt himself carefully before answering.
"Princess, it's better for the palace doctor to come and take a look at you." Yang Fan suggested worriedly.
"My princess is fine. There is no need to call the doctor here. You only need to help me cut these lotus root joints, but do not cut off the lotus root threads. Help me take out the lotus root threads." Yan Wuyou said calmly.
"Princess, you have to think twice and don't take risks." Yang Fan stopped him with a serious look on his face.
Yan Wuyou suddenly stood up and approached Yang Fan. The fresh lotus fragrance made Yang Fan's heart beat wildly, and his face turned red.
"To you, these lotus root silk are harmful substances, but to me, they are energy supplies that I covet." Yan Wuyou whispered quietly.
"...Oh, I know, I know." Yang Fan, whose mind was almost blank, stammered and took a few steps back.
Yan Wuyou, who happened to have nothing to do, didn't know the reason for Yang Fan's abnormality, so he stared at Yang Fan intently.
"Coach Yang, why are you doing this?" Yan Wuyou asked innocently with a puzzled look on his face.
"...It's, it's hot, the sun is shining on it." Yang Fan muttered nonsense, praying in his heart that the princess would not think too hard and guess that something was wrong with him.
"Princess, are you going to make a knife mark on the lotus root like this and then break the lotus joints with your hands?" Yang Fan, who couldn't wait for the princess to reply, immediately changed the subject and asked.
"...Yes, just help cut them open and break them. Be careful not to touch the lotus root silk. The princess will draw the lotus root silk herself."
The innocent Yan Wuyou responded as his attention was diverted as expected.
"No." Yang Fan responded with a sigh of relief.
Now Yang Fan suddenly felt that the current princess was quite good, straightforward, simple, easy-going, kind and considerate.
Such a true nature, happiness and no worries is the life a young girl should have.
I sincerely hope that the princess can live such a happy life forever, and also hope that the princess never knows that her subordinate has a pure but impure heart that can't help but beat harder because of her.
"What a stingy, perverted lotus root." Yan Wuyou couldn't help but muttered as he looked at the pile of broken lotus root knots on the table that had lost all the black lotus root threads.
Because these lotus roots do not have lotus root silk in every section like ordinary lotus roots, but the lotus root silk can only be taken once from each lotus root section.
"Teacher Yang, please immediately arrange for a few servants to come over with farm tools to dig lotus roots.
Arrange for two more servants to go out to purchase a basket of fresh lotus roots that are intact. Yan Wuyou ordered thoughtfully.
"No." Yang Fan responded politely, turned around and walked out of the pavilion.
"Princess, please don't act rashly and bring your subordinates back." Yang Fan turned around and warned uneasily.
"...Okay." Yan Wuyou reluctantly agreed like a child who had been told by an adult to stop him from making trouble.
After hearing this, Yang Fanfang turned around and walked quickly towards the garden entrance. The moment he turned back,
Yang Fan, who was in a happy mood, raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously. The princess just now looked so cute!
After a while, Yang Fan came over with baskets, wooden basins, princes, pickaxes and other farm tools.
Yan Wuyou happily supervised the work by the pool.
