Chapter 172 Peeling Lotus Seeds

Zhao's mother had no objection, and she didn't necessarily want her daughter-in-law to work, but she wanted her to have something to do so that she wouldn't be so bored. Besides, it wouldn't go bad if she left it until tomorrow.

"Okay, it's up to you. You can peel it whenever you want. It won't spoil easily. Now go take a shower. You've been running around outside all day. If you don't take a shower, it will smell bad."

Tang Yue felt embarrassed when her mother-in-law said that, so she quickly sniffed her body, luckily it was just a little bit of sweat odor.

"Okay, I'll take these things to the barn and then go find some clothes to take a bath."

She put the sack in her hand into the warehouse and prepared to go back to her room to get clothes. When she passed the living room, she didn't hear any noise. She thought the babies should be asleep in her mother-in-law's room, so she didn't go to see them. She thought her father-in-law should be watching them inside, so Tang Yue was not worried at all.

I took the clothes and put them in the bathroom, then went to fetch some hot water. I washed my hair first, and the water in the bucket was used up. I was too lazy to go to the kitchen to fetch water, so I just used hot water from the space to wash.

After taking a shower, I took the dirty clothes to the well, washed them, hung them in the yard, and then went to help my mother-in-law cook.

At dinner time, the dish of cold lotus root slices was indeed delicious, very refreshing and crispy. In order to always have access to it in the future, Tang Yue planned to dig a ten-acre lake in the space. She remembered that she seemed to have bought a bag of lotus seeds before. When the time comes, she will plant them herself and there will be an endless supply of lotus roots until she gets tired of them.

I went to see the babies first, and when I returned to the bedroom, I locked the door and went straight into the space.

Tang Yue first used her spiritual power to hollow out the ten acres of land near the downstream of the river to turn it into a lake. She then dug a ditch between the lake and the river and let the river water flow into it. She then sprinkled the two kilograms of lotus seeds she bought from the warehouse into the ditch, very sparsely. After planting several rounds like this, the lake would be filled with densely packed lotus flowers.

After I was done with my work, I took out all the boxes that I had put into the space today and looked at them carefully again. I opened all the boxes and felt them with my mental power. After I confirmed that they were all real things, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The box brought in from the secret room in the front yard was filled with gold bars. It was obvious at a glance that it was not from the Gu family. If it was from the Gu family, he would not have to sell the house just for that little bit of gold bars.

I guess I have to ask who originally owned the house next time, and then I will know who buried so many boxes in such a deep place. I didn’t expect that I would get a bargain now. These are ten boxes of yellow croaker! It’s still shocking.

I bought 50 yellow croakers and got ten times as much in return. It can be regarded as the most successful deal I have ever made.

Tang Yue put the ten boxes back into the warehouse, then took out the things from the secret room under the warehouse, opened them and took a look, and found that they were all Dong's calligraphy and paintings, without a single piece of jewelry. It gave her a very strong feeling that they could be very old, so she put them in the space first and kept them as heirlooms in the future.

I put all the things back into the warehouse, thinking that I had collected a lot of quilts, clothes and the like, which I couldn't use at home. I would wait and see where there was a need for donations or disaster relief, and then send all of them there. It would be considered a good deed.

Take a look at all the small jewelry and other items you have collected. They are all worth a little money but not very valuable. Put them in a small box. Maybe they will be useful in the future.

Finally, I took the small box collected from the beam and placed it on such a high beam. It took a lot of effort just to put it there, so there couldn't be anything useless inside.

Tang Yue opened the box, but she didn't expect that there were several pieces of paper inside. She took them out and looked at them carefully. They turned out to be house deeds and land deeds. Two of them were for a small courtyard, and three were for shops. She didn't know if they were still there. It seemed that she had to go to the county town again in a few days to inquire about the specific information about the house and shop.

Pack up the things, put them back into the boxes, and put them in the warehouse.

After finishing all the things, I thought that there was nothing else to do, so I just took the lotus pod and peeled it slowly. Although I can use my mental power to peel it, and it can be finished very quickly, but I thought that there was nothing else to do anyway, so I just peeled it slowly by myself.

Tang Yue peeled one and put it in her mouth. It was quite sweet and tender. She saw the lotus seed core inside. She heard that it was good for making tea and it could help reduce internal heat, so she couldn't let it go. Although she didn't know how to make tea for herself, she could give it to her father-in-law. When she was at home, she liked to make a cup of tea and relax leisurely.

After peeling just a few, I found that it was too difficult to peel the lotus core. It was difficult to do it without special tools. In the end, I had to use my mental power to do it. It took me half an hour to finish it. I saw how many lotus pods I picked in the lake.

After finishing the work at hand, look for information in the living room to see which flowers and plants can be dyed, and find them in advance so that you don’t have to look everywhere when you need them next time.

It was already very late when they were done, so Tang Yue didn't stay any longer and left the space directly to go back to the bedroom to sleep.

It was already very late when I woke up the next day, maybe because I slept too late last night. I was groggy when I got up, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses.

I got up, dressed, and went to the kitchen to wash up. As soon as I entered the living room, I saw my parents-in-law peeling lotus seeds in the yard. "Mom, didn't I say I would come today?"

"Anyway, I, your dad, don't have anything to do, so I'll just peel it. You were out all day yesterday, so you should rest for a while. It's not a very tiring job. Breakfast is in the pot, so eat it quickly."

"Got it. I'll brush first."

After Tang Yue washed her face, she looked at the lotus seed porridge in the pot. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law moved quickly. She tasted it and it was sweet and tasted pretty good.

After eating, I washed the bowl and went to the yard to help peel the lotus seeds.

"Old man, my daughter-in-law bought that house. Next time when my son comes back, we will go and see it together. My daughter-in-law said that the house is beautiful."

"Okay, I'll go see it when my eldest son comes back." For Zhao 꿵, it didn't matter where they went, as long as he just followed behind.

Tang Yue thought of what she had just remembered yesterday, and quickly asked her parents-in-law, "Dad, Mom, have you asked someone to help look after the house in Beijing? I'm worried that someone might think it's unoccupied and end up occupying it."

Mother Zhao said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've definitely asked someone to look after it. Our house is so nice, someone must have plans for it. If we don't make arrangements in advance, I and your dad won't be able to stay here with peace of mind."

After listening to what her parents-in-law said, Tang Yue finally felt relieved. However, when she thought about her own house, she asked Zhao Shengrui to help take a closer look after it when he went to Beijing for school, so she thought he probably wouldn't dare to make any plans.
