The genetically modified vegetables and watermelons were planted. Luo Hui's next step was to plant the ten acres of fruit trees, but looking at the densely packed little tortoises in the three large barrels, Luo Hui decided to dig out the pond first.

The pond was dug at the foot of the mountain. Considering that Jianma Lake is connected to the ground, the water level remains constant regardless of drought or flooding, and it is impossible to flood anywhere, so the pond is only three feet away from Jianma Lake.

This makes it easier to get water from the lake.

The barren hills were cleared manually using hoes and hatchets. The pond was a much larger project, so Luo Hui went to the town and hired an excavator. The machine was very efficient. In two and a half days, an excavator of up to 20 meters was completed.

A pond measuring several meters, seven or eight meters wide, and more than one meter deep was dug out, hollowing out almost half of the foot of the mountain.

After the excavator left, Luo Hui took a group of helpers and used a hoe and dustpan to clean out the broken soil in the pond. Then he dug a two-foot-wide ditch between the lake and the pond, and made it with the help of Gao Ge.

A simple gate was built. Once the gate was opened, the clear water of Jianma Lake flowed straight into the pool.

When the water levels of the pool and the lake were equal, the water flow stopped and Luo Hui closed the gate.

Luo Hui didn't take any other measures and directly poured all the little tortoises into the pool like dumplings. As soon as the little tortoises entered the water, they pulled their limbs and dived around the pool. Soon, the surface of the pool was

Not even a shadow of the tortoise could be seen.

"Xiao Hui, can such a big pond only have so many tortoises?" Gao Ge asked.

"The number of tortoises will gradually increase." Luo Hui looked into the lake with a smile, "As for the fish, there is no need to raise them. There is such a big lake right here. If you want to eat, just take a fishing rod and swing it in.

, don’t you have to eat it?”

"That's true, there is really no need to raise fish... It's just that with such a big pond, so much money was spent to dig it out, it would be a waste to just raise bastards... Otherwise, what else should we raise?" Gao Ge nodded and thought about it.

I thought, "I think, Xiaohui, you can plant some lotus flowers in the pond."

"It's a good idea to plant lotuses. When the pond is full of lotus flowers blooming side by side, the scene will definitely be beautiful. No matter how fragrant the flowers are, it will definitely be quite intoxicating." Luo Hui imagined, "There are also lotus roots, lotus seeds, and lotus root tips.

, but they are all absolutely green and natural delicacies... By the way, old man, why is there not a lotus plant in such a big Jianma Lake?"

"The water quality of Jianma Lake is too good, and there is not much silt around the lake, which is not conducive to the growth of lotus flowers," Gao Ge said.

"Then I want to plant lotus, how should I plant it?" Luo Hui asked for advice.

"There are two methods for planting lotus. One is to sow lotus seeds, and the other is to sow lotus roots. However, both methods require a cultivation process." Gao Ge said, "In fact, planting lotus is the most direct way.

The method is to transplant the whole lotus plant."

When Old Man Gao said this, he seemed to have remembered something and patted his head, "But your pond now is not suitable for planting lotus."

"Why?" Luo Hui asked confused.

"Lotus is an aquatic plant, and lotus roots grow in the mud. Your pond has just been dug out, and the soil is hard. How do you make it take root?" Gao Ge said, "After a while, the soil at the bottom of the pond will be softened by water.

, turn into mud and plant again.”

"Then let's wait." Luo Hui understood and spread his hands helplessly. Even though he couldn't wait to see the grand scene of the pond full of lotus flowers, he had no choice but to face the reality. For the time being, the matter of planting lotus flowers in the pond could not be solved.

It can only be put aside.

"..."

However, just because plants cannot be planted in the pond does not mean that Luo Hui will not plant lotus plants now.

He checked online and drove to the seed store in town. There were no lotus seeds for sale here.

Luo Hui went straight to the city seed company. When the saleswoman heard that he wanted to buy lotus seeds, she asked him to wait and dialed a number.

"Sir, do you want to buy lotus seeds?" About ten minutes later, a woman came in from outside in a hurry. She probably hurried over after receiving a call from the sales lady.

This woman is in her thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a professional suit and skirt that covers her slim figure. On the left chest of her top is a delicate white and pink lotus embroidered on it. On her feet are

A pair of black high-heeled shoes makes the whole person appear very capable without losing some of the legendary temptation.

"Yes, I want to buy it." Luo Hui said calmly.

"Where do you want to plant lotus seeds when you buy them?" The woman quickly looked at Luo Hui up and down, and asked eagerly, "What is the purpose of planting lotus seeds?"

Luo Hui didn't know why the woman was asking so many questions inexplicably, but he still replied, "I dug a pond and planted lotus flowers. Of course, I wanted to enjoy the scene of the pond full of lotus flowers in full bloom and smell the faint fragrance of the lotus... and...

You know, lotus seeds, lotus roots, and lotus root tips all taste quite good."

"Haha." The woman smiled sweetly and adjusted the frame on the bridge of her nose. "Thank you for telling me this. I have always had a dream since I was a child. This dream is to plant a lotus pond of my own. But due to various reasons

The fetters of worldly factors have never been realized...Oh, by the way, my name is Chen Xuelian, and this is my business card."

"Chen Xuelian?" Luo Hui glanced at her swollen peaks, took the business card and saw that in addition to her name, contact number, and buckle, there was also a white and pink lotus printed on it. This

Chen Xuelian is worthy of her name.

"The beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is best remembered by the snow lotus; graceful like a fairy, the breeze carries distant fragrance... A night of wind and rain in the pond, thousands of white jade blossoms bloom; the pity group comes with high class, who loves the lotus like a dun Yi." Chen Xuelian raised her pink neck slightly.

, chanted two poems about lotus in a row, looked at Luo Hui with his eyes, smiled and said, "It emerges from the mud but is not stained, the green lotus is not evil... In my mind, the lotus is the most beautiful and purest

What is the symbol of Mr. Sir in your mind?"

"Of course it is the most beautiful and pure symbol." Luo Hui said casually. He was a little speechless. This Chen Xuelian dared to introduce herself as a close friend! Damn, planting a lot of lotus in the pond was just because my brother heard it.

The old man's suggestion was just a whim, unlike you who had this dream since you were a child!

Chen Xuelian noticed Luo Hui's disgust and was shocked by her abruptness. She laughed sarcastically and explained, "Sorry sir, there are not many people who come to the seed company to buy lotus seeds. I just received a call from Sister Huang, saying that someone came to ask questions."
