Clumps of mud were dug out, and the water began to turn murky.
Chen Nan used a few minutes to dig out the three-jointed white lotus root.
"Wow, it's so big. You're amazing, Sha Dan!"
Su Qingqing jumped excitedly on the shore, her face full of excitement.
"Don't jump, don't fall down later." Chen Nan smiled bitterly, washed the three-jointed lotus root, and threw it to the shore.
Su Qingqing grabbed the lotus root and took a bite. She laughed loudly and exclaimed that it was delicious.
As a result, because of her exclamation, the other students in the class also heard the commotion, and more than ten boys and girls ran over.
When they saw Chen Nan standing in the lotus pond, and Su Qingqing eating the lotus root, the surrounding students were all dumbfounded.
This was really a good cousin of the highest quality!
The surrounding girls by the lake looked at Su Qingqing with eyes full of envy and jealousy. They thought, "This cousin is so good, why don't I have such a good life?"
It was no longer a rare thing for third-year high school students to fall in love. Many girls were affected and ordered their boyfriends to jump down to dig the lotus root for them to eat. The boys were all frowning and depressed.
"Xiao Li, can I not go down?"
"If you don't go down, I'll break up with you!"
"Isn't it just a lotus root? Do you have to be so serious? "
"Hmph, look at how good her cousin is. You're my boyfriend, but you're not even as good as her cousin! I think you don't even have me in your heart. "
"I … I've never dug one before, and I don't know where to start."
"I don't care, do as you see fit."
"Plop …"
The boy gritted his teeth, rolled up his trousers, and jumped down.
Seeing the boys jump into the water one by one, and then blindly groping around in the water, and not even a fart in the end, Chen Nan was suddenly amused.
He chuckled as he looked at Su Qingqing on the shore and said, "Little girl, is that enough for you to eat?"
Seeing the jealous eyes of the other girls, Su Qingqing was very excited. She looked at the lotus root in her hand with a happy face, then touched her stomach and said, "I didn't eat lunch, so this is probably not enough."
"Alright, then I'll dig a few more up for you. You can eat them slowly later."
"Cousin, you're so nice."
Chen Nan smiled faintly. "You're my cousin. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
"…"
Listening to the conversation between the two, the girls around them almost died of envy.
Why were other people's cousins so good? She turned her head and looked at her boyfriend, who was groping around in the water. His clothes were all wet, and he looked like a big water buffalo, but he didn't even find anything.
Soon, Chen Nan found another lotus leaf that had just emerged from the water. He bent down and touched it. Once again, he caught a large lotus root, which was much larger than the one he had caught last time.
In just a few minutes, Chen Nan dug out another large lotus root.
This one had a total of four segments, and it was bigger than the one he had caught last time. It was estimated that it was twice as heavy as the previous one.
"Little girl, are these two enough? Do you want to dig out another one? "Chen Nan washed the lotus root and said to Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing was so excited that she danced with joy. She said happily, "It's enough, it's enough. Don't dig anymore. Look at how many of them didn't even find half a root. Leave some for them."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
After Chen Nan washed his hands and feet, he lightly jumped out of the lake.
He bent down and pulled down his sleeves and trousers. They were still so clean and tidy, and there wasn't even a trace of mud …
Seeing Chen Nan's current appearance, the boys who were groping around in the water were so angry that they almost fainted. They were all covered in mud, but they didn't even find a single root. Chen Nan, on the other hand, was clean from head to toe, but he managed to dig out two large lotus roots …
It was really infuriating when people compared themselves to others!
"Brother Nan, do you have any secret? How can you dig them out so easily? "
One of them finally couldn't help but ask Chen Nan for advice.
Chen Nan and Su Qingqing sat on the grass by the lake and revealed a kind smile. "This is easy. Just dig along those old lotus leaves, and you'll definitely find a large one."
It had to be said that Chen Nan was a bastard. He didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy.
Those who had dug lotus roots before knew that if they wanted to dig out a large one, they had to start from the tender lotus leaves that had just come out of the water. Below the old lotus leaves were basically the lotus roots.
In other words, the probability of digging out a large lotus root from under the tender lotus leaves was 80%. And the probability of digging out a large lotus root from under the old lotus leaves was at most 10%.
Chen Nan asked them to dig under the old lotus leaves. It was obvious that he didn't have good intentions. He was afraid that they wouldn't die of exhaustion.
"Brother, thank you so much!"
The guy who asked the question was deceived by Chen Nan, but he still thanked him.
Then, he looked around and quickly found an old greenish-black lotus leaf. Following the stem, he felt his way down.
After a while, the guy actually laughed and said, "I found it, I found it. It's really big. I think it's as thick as my wrist. Brother, thank you so much!"
After that, he dug hard and buried his head in the mud.
On the shore, Chen Nan sighed at the guy's dumb luck. At the same time, he felt endless shame in his heart. This guy came to ask for advice with such a sincere attitude, but he deceived him without paying for it.
When the others saw that the guy dug out a large one after listening to Chen Nan's words, their eyes suddenly lit up. They swept some of the young lotus leaves aside and picked the old ones to dig down.
In the end, after searching for a long time, they didn't even find a fart.
At this moment, not far away, three men and women in student clothes came over.
They came to the shore and looked at the messy lotus leaves in the small lake. They frowned immediately. "What are you doing? Stop it. "
The people who were digging for lotus roots in the lake looked up and saw the three coming over. One of them frowned and said, "Who are you? What does it have to do with you that I'm digging for lotus roots? It's none of your business. "
"We're from the Student Union."
The guy walking in front of the three pointed at the warning sign by the lake and said, "Didn't you see it?"
The guy who asked Chen Nan before said disdainfully, "It says that lotus leaves and lotus flowers are not allowed. We're not picking lotus leaves. We're digging for lotus roots."
"Is there a difference?"
"There's a big difference. One is digging, the other is picking. "
"Okay, let's say you're right. But look at the lake now. How many lotus leaves have been broken by you? "
Hearing this, a lot of guys in the lake suddenly became scared.
On the other side, Chen Nan and Su Qingqing sat on the grass with a gloating smile. They quietly stood up, turned around, and slipped away, leaving the blame to others.
