Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 326
This kind of flower was not recorded in the Shan Hai Jing, and the system did not give a reminder. She was really curious about its use.

The lotus is hidden in the ice, and if you want to get the flower, you must first melt the ice.Although Hou Wenshu tried to get as close as possible to the flower when fetching the ice, but the flower was so big that it couldn't fit in an ordinary washbasin even with the ice.

In the end, Wen Shu was forced to take out the tub before putting the whole block of ice in.

Adding well water into the tub, and waiting for the ice to melt, Wen Shu read the "Shan Hai Jing" carefully to see why there were no records in the "Shan Hai Jing".

Driven by curiosity, after several careful comparisons, she found the problem.

It turns out that there are mountains that have not been recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas!

For example, in the second series of mountains in the north, the original text records a total of 690 mountains, with a total of 240 miles.But in fact, there are only 450 mountains, [-] miles away, and one mountain is inexplicably lost in the middle, with a distance of [-] miles.

Wen Shu had every reason to suspect that he had fallen on the missing mountain, or a certain section of the 450 miles.

Because in this series of mountains, there is a Guguan mountain. It is recorded in the book that there is no vegetation on this mountain, and there is snow in winter and summer, which is very compatible with the environment where she fell.

But if it is Guguan Mountain, the system will not fail to prompt.

So she suspected that the place where she fell was actually near Guguan Mountain, the missing mountain or river.

Only in this way can it be understood why the system did not prompt when it landed, and the ice lotus obtained was not recorded.

But why would a mountain be missed?
Given the rigor of the original book, it shouldn't be so careless!

Holding the "Shan Hai Jing" written silently by himself, Wen Shu recalled what Master Li once said.The master said that "Shan Hai Jing" is an ancient book, and I don't know how many generations it has been passed down to the present.

They don't know what kind of ups and downs they have experienced during this unknown period of time.So could it be a rumor that a page was missed during the transcribing process?
Or, for some reason, a page of the original book was destroyed?That's why there are now seventeen mountains clearly written in the summary, but there are only sixteen after careful counting.

She is a person with a strong thirst for knowledge, and also a person with a strong spirit of inheritance.

After a short thought, she decided to write this discovery and doubt into the last page of her silent book "Shan Hai Jing", intending to fill in the details after the mystery is revealed.

But right now, she wants to know more about the effect of that lotus flower.

Intuition told her that this was not an ordinary lotus.

It is a rare thing that Tai Chi is born on the surface of the ice and snow lake, and the fish-eye lotus that grows in this Tai Chi is not ordinary no matter how you look at it.

Take ten thousand steps back and say that even if someone did it deliberately, it must not be Fanpin who can make him spend such effort.

In the scorching summer, as the ice cubes slowly melt in the water, the solid ice wrapped around the lotus becomes thinner and gradually reveals the whole lotus.

After melting the ice, the lotus feet are the size of a washbasin, with six layers in total, and each layer has nine flowers and leaves.Layer upon layer to the highest point, there are no lotus pods or lotus seeds, but nine thin transparent stamens.

It was only after such a close look that Wen Shu discovered that this lotus was not a real "yellow lotus".Because its petals are not yellow, but white.

It's just that this whiteness is very light, so light that it is almost transparent.The reason why it looks yellow is because the outer skin of the flower is full of yellow "juice".

Wen Shu tentatively squeezed the petals lightly with his hands, and sure enough, there was a fluid feeling of being squeezed under the thin skin.

This discovery made Wen Shu feel a little embarrassed.

Because according to the original idea, she wanted to pick a few petals to make tea like ordinary lotus flowers.But in the face of this sudden change, she suddenly didn't know what to do.

Just as he was struggling to think, a fresh and strange fragrance came to the tip of his nose, like a cloud like a fog.Looking at the lotus again, I saw signs of yellowing and withering at the edge of the uppermost petals.

Wen Shu was startled, and quickly tore off a petal, and then threw the rest of the flowers into the storage basket together.

It withered so quickly!

Seeing that the edges of the petals in his hands were all withered and yellow in a few breaths, Wen Shu was extremely thankful that he was quick enough just now.

However, her happiness did not last long.

Because after a cup of tea, the juice in the petals also began to change.First, the color of the liquid gradually deepened, and then flocs began to appear in the liquid.

Wen Shu, who hadn't figured out how to deal with it, had to throw the petals in his hand into the storage basket again.

The rapid withering of the lotus made her dare not continue to study, at least she didn't plan to take it out until the idea was concrete.It's just that the lotus can't be studied, so what should we do next?
After walking a few steps in the room, Wen Shu brought out the storage basket again, and took out two large wooden barrels from it.

The barrels are filled with fish taken from the frozen lake yesterday.There are many kinds of fish in the bucket, and the sizes are different. Wen Shu picked out the fish he knew, washed and dissected them, and then removed the bones and chopped them into meat paste.

Those who don't know each other plan to let the system distinguish later.

She vaguely remembered that when the fish was harvested yesterday, there was a fish system prompt that seemed to have the effect of preventing plague?

But there were too many fish at that time, and the system prompts sounded in her mind one after another, densely like a firecracker, and she couldn't remember it at all.

After chopping the fish meat and kneading it several times with rice wine, Wen Shu rummaged through the storage basket to see if there were any suitable vegetables to go with it, and wanted to make a mountain and sea bag.

Douzi is a snack in the south. Due to the different fillings inside, it can be divided into vegetarian and meat.There is another kind of mixed bag called "Shanhaidou", the main material is seafood and mountain delicacies, hence the name.

To put it bluntly, it contains fish, shrimp and mushrooms (fungi), and the taste is crisp, tender and smooth, very delicious.

However, the mountain and sea pocket she is going to make is a real mountain and sea pocket, because the materials are all from the world of mountains and seas.The "full of gold and jade" on her dinner table yesterday is a veritable mountain and sea pocket.

But some people don't know the goods, they don't know the goods!

Secretly complaining about someone, Wen Shu pulled out all the "rare and rare herbs" in the storage basket, and picked them up one by one to see if there were any suitable ones for matching.

The huai wood fruit that can increase strength seems to be ok.But it is too precious, and there are only 38 left, so she is a bit reluctant.

Diaotangguo, which can cure deafness, seems to work too.It's just that it hasn't been tested, but she still wants to test it first, so that she can clearly know the relationship between the dosage and the curative effect.

Zhu Yucao, who is not hungry. Uh, it seems to be useless.

Danmu fruit for treating jaundice is good, but jaundice is mostly born in children, and some children may not have any teeth, so they may not be able to eat.

It is summer now.
Yaocao and Gangcao have already gained a reputation, and they are still suitable for thirsty water.

Kangmu fruit, which can detoxify the intrusion of hot air, seems to work, but the number is too small, there are only ten left, so I should keep it for myself in case of accidents.

I ate a carp that can stop farting. This is okay, very okay.Wen Shu nodded repeatedly. Originally, he was still thinking about how the carp would appear on the stage, but now it seems that it is very suitable to make a bag.

The grass without stripes that can cure neck tumors is also very good.

The only ones left are freshly harvested peaches, apricots, and pears, and they all seem to be okay.Moreover, the combination of fish and fruit may produce a more wonderful taste.

After some selection, Wen Shu finally decided on five kinds of "mountain and sea pockets".

The "Qingxiangdou" that can cure neck tumors is added with the grass-free grass, the "Qingxiangdou" that can cure farts is made of carp, and the "Peach Red Dou, Xinghuangdou and Bingli Dou" are added with fruits.
