The hot summer is coming, and it is the most beautiful time for lotus leaves. The green lotus leaf is big and round, like a small green umbrella. In the morning after the rain, you will see crystal dew rolling around on the green lotus leaf, which is very attractive.
After a while, the lotus root opened, snow-white, almost the same shape as the lotus, with large petals, fell into the water and swung around like a boat, which was very beautiful. After a while, the lotus began to bear fruit. In autumn, farmers' uncles dig lotus roots out of the mud. It is not as tall as apples and pears to show off. It's too dirty, full of sludge and smell. But after washing with water, it finally showed its true colors: one section after another, thinking of the baby's arm, fat in vain. A section occasionally has three or four sections. If you cut a section of lotus root with a knife, you will see a small hole in the cross section. Although the lotus root is broken, its silk is still connected. No wonder people often say "broken silk", that's what it means.
Lotus root can not only be cooked, but also fried and roasted ... My favorite food is also lotus root, because once, when I came home from swimming, I felt delicious when I opened the door. I asked my mother, "What's cooking in this pot?" "It's stewed duck with lotus root," mom replied. After the meal was served, I wolfed down the lotus root and drank three bowls of soup. I still want to eat watermelon, it's really mouth watering!
Lotus roots are all treasures, which can clear away heat. Lotus leaf and lotus root can be made into traditional Chinese medicine, and dried to make lotus root powder.
I admire the lotus root very much, because it has the quality of "getting out of the mud without being stained". Think about public security soldiers, drug addicts ... all have the spirit of lotus root. I love lotus root, and I love people with lotus root spirit even more.
