Jiahua's heart moved, and when he picked up the oar in his hand, he brought out a large ball of darkness. Cen Jiahua looked closely and saw that what was faintly visible in the mud was the round shepherd's sheepish sheep's body?

Cen Jiahua then suddenly realized that no wonder the oars inserted in the mud touched foreign objects if they wanted to fix the boat. It turned out that this was the place where water chestnuts grew. As late autumn came, the branches of shepherds growing on the water surface had withered. At first glance, they could not see any clues from the flat water surface as smooth as a mirror.

Because of the time too long and the busyness recently, Cen Jiahua forgot about this. If it weren't for the chance today, the water chestnuts this year would have been wasted again, and it would have been a waste of money for migratory birds.

However, Professor Zhang and his team are now carefully photographing the birds, so they are naturally not good at doing it. Cen Jiahua had to clean the dug out of several shepherds in the water with a gentle movement.

After the mud on the Shepherd's body was washed away, their original appearance was revealed, and a reminder similar to a ball, it looked a bit like a flying saucer in a science fiction movie. The dark skin shone with light, as if summoning people, making Cen Jiahua feel a little drooling.

Seeing Professor Zhang and his student Wu Dongkui taking photos attentively, Cen Jiahua did not disturb them, but took out his Swiss army knife on his own.

Although the skin of the shepherd's skin is dark, after it opens, it reveals the white flesh as white as snow. The strong contrast between black and white is really amazing.

When the first water chestnut was peeled, Cen Jiahua didn't bother to clean it again and put it directly into her mouth. Under the bite of her teeth, the crispy shepherd suddenly squeezed out sweet juice and flowed into her mouth.

Because these water chestnuts are soaked in the cold for a long time, they are like they are placed in the refrigerator to cool down. They are very happy to eat them in their mouths.

After eating a cold water chestnut, it was like drinking a glass of iced sugar water, which made Cen Jiahua unable to stop. Cen Jiahua's mouth was moving, and his hands did not stop. The Swiss army sword was dancing quickly. The snow-white water chestnuts were peeled out and then wiped out by him.

It was not until Professor Zhang took pictures of the migratory birds to prepare for the handmade site that Cen Jiahua was having a lot of fun eating.

"Xiao Cen. Where did you get this shepherd?" Zhang Zhuoli looked at Cen Jiahua and asked curiously.

It is said that when Cen Jiahua got on the boat just now, he didn't carry anything on his body. Unexpectedly, a lot of water chestnut skins appeared in the blink of an eye.

"Dig the ground below. You were filming just now, so I'm so embarrassed to bother you." Cen Jiahua smiled and said as he got off the water at the bottom of the boat.

"So. Come on, let's dig a few out to taste the taste." When Zhang Zhuoli heard that he was digging the ground in the reservoir, he became interested.

"Okay!" Cen Jiahua no longer was restrained when he saw that Professor Zhang and the others had finished their work. He began to move around.

So Cen Jiahua began to dig out a few pieces of sticky mud with the oars, and Professor Zhang and Wu Dongkui also washed the mud regardless of their image.

From time to time, sludge splashed on them, but they were happy and felt a little childlike.

However, because the tools are not suitable, Cen Jiahua did not dig too much, but everyone washed a dozen of them before finishing work. If you want to dig out this large piece of shepherd's body, you must prepare a shovel and a washing basket. Otherwise, if you wash it one by one with your hands, you may not be able to harvest much after half a day.

Although this shepherd's taste is sweet and juicy, crisp and delicious, it has been known as underground pear and Jiangnan ginseng since ancient times, it has another disadvantage. However, because it grows all year round in the mud, parasites or bacteria are inevitably present.

Therefore, water chestnuts are not very suitable for raw fruits. There is no problem eating a few raw at a time, which may cause gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroenteritis.

Cen Jiahua was rowing, Zhang Zhuoli and Wu Dongkui sat in front and started peeling and eating water chestnuts. He also praised him while eating.

"I have said that this wild water chestnut hasn't been eaten for a long time. When I was an educated youth, I could often eat it in the countryside." Professor Zhang said vaguely while biting the shepherd in his mouth.

"This water chestnut is smaller than the ones on the market, but the taste is much sweeter." Wu Dongkui did not have Professor Zhang's life experience, and he didn't feel much emotion in his heart. He could only compare it with artificially grown shepherds.

Cen Jiahua didn't feel that much emotion. He was thinking about how to harvest all the water chestnuts and not leave them there to waste them. This year, so many migratory birds live in reservoirs, and these water chestnuts will soon become one of the foods that migratory birds target. After all, most water birds use the rhizomes of plants as their staple food.

Once the sweet rhizomes like shepherds are revealed by migratory birds, they will probably become the delicacy that everyone is trying to grab. Cen Jiahua must be ahead to gain some.

When he returned to the manor, Cen Jiahua immediately called Uncle Wang San and a few free employees, picked up shovels, baskets and other tools and headed straight to the reed marsh. When everyone heard that they were digging water chestnuts, they were all interested. After all, this is not a heavy job, and they can still eat.

The group came to the reed marsh excitedly. The birds seemed a little panicked when they saw the large group of people, especially the new migratory birds, who were entering the reeds. As for the old birds, they became much more courageous, and instead swam next to the boat and looked at Cen Jiahua and the others curiously.

When he arrived in the water with water chestnuts, Cen Jiahua stopped the boat and began to call everyone to do it. This water area is actually very shallow. Even if he stepped into the mud, the water surface was not over his knees. However, in late autumn, the water temperature in the reservoir was really low. As soon as Cen Jiahua stepped into the water, he could feel a bit cold.

Because the water temperature is too low, it is not easy for everyone to make trouble, so they all turned their arms around and started working hard. Cen Jiahua and Uncle Wang Sandi dug out the mud with shovels, and then the remaining four employees were holding baskets to wait for sifting and washing the shepherd's body.

Cen Jiahua shoveled down with a shovel, then poured it into a basket. It is much harder to shovel mud from the water than shoveling soil in dry land. After all, this mud is not only heavy, but also very sticky. It is really a test of the operator's arm strength and skills to fish it out of the water.

The worker named 6th gang started to grab the two ears of the basket and began to wash it in the water. After such washing, the mud would dissolve in the water and the remaining ones were shepherd's and some debris.

Seeing that Cen Jiahua had started to take action, Uncle Wang San was unwilling to fall behind and shoveled up the mud. For a moment, the originally clear water surface was replaced by dirty mud and water, and it no longer felt like a fairyland on earth.

The six people moved, and the time was really fast. In a short while, a lot of clean water chestnuts were loaded with the baskets in the cabin. Everyone was talking and laughing, but they didn't feel tired at all. The whole reed marsh was filled with an atmosphere called happiness.

After a basket was filled with about three or four kilograms of water chestnuts, Cen Jiahua decided to finish work. After all, the roots could not be broken all at once. Besides, it is not good for the employees to bubble in the cold water for too long.

When we arrived at the compound, everyone was covered in mud and water, looking a little embarrassed, but their faces were full of smiles.

When tourists saw a large basket of water chestnuts carrying, they felt very novel. After all, wild shepherds cannot be encountered frequently. Everyone took some of them, cleaned them on the faucet and peeled them and started eating.

Cen Jiahua came to Pang Hong and was about to explain how many dishes he used to make using the remaining water chestnuts.

"Pang Hong, look at what kind of dishes can this water chestnut be used to make?" Cen Jiahua pointed to the shepherd in the basket and asked Pang Hong.

"This, water chestnuts rarely cook, I have to think about it." Pang Hong narrowed his eyes and thought, his wide forehead looked glittering. "Well, yes, you can make several dishes with the ingredients in the kitchen."

"Then I'll leave it to you. Today I'll invite Professor Zhang and Mr. Mo and the others to have a meal. You can make a table of good dishes alone." Cen Jiahua nodded and gave the dishes he was going to cook today to Pang Hong.

Professor Zhang and his students have been at the manor for a while, but Cen Jiahua has never expressed anything.

Today I took this opportunity to make up for a banquet, which was a late welcome.

At night, Pang Hong made a table of delicious dishes, full of them. Looking at these dishes with all their colors, fragrance and flavor, everyone's saliva was about to flow out.

Pang Hong is still very good at adapting to local conditions. He uses the ingredients in the manor with water chestnuts to create a few unique dishes. First, a spicy chicken diced chicken mixed with diced chicken and diced chicken, followed by a water chestnut soup stewed with old duck and water chestnuts at high pressure, and a few water chestnut purse with unique flavors, which opened everyone's eyes.

Because the old man was present, everyone didn't drink much, so Cen Jiahua took out the glutinous rice wine that had soaked in the fruit-twisted fruit, and everyone drank a little. To be honest, this fruit-twisted fruit-twisted wine tasted a little sweet, but after that, it seemed to have a hint of astringent feeling. Compared with ordinary bottled wine, it has a unique flavor.

After this supper, Professor Zhang’s students became very familiar with Cen Jiahua. After all, they are still young people. With just one opportunity, they can find many common topics.

These graduate students are also very same age as Cen Jiahua. Although they didn’t know each other when they were in school, they resonated with them when it comes to school affairs.

Just when everyone was having fun eating, they suddenly heard a noise outside, and everyone was shouting: "It's a fire, it's a fire!"
