Three Treasures of Lotus Pond

Hearing the name "Three Treasures of Lotus Pond" reminds me of the scene of pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves in the lake! Suddenly the hot summer day felt cooler. Nowadays, lotus pods and water chestnuts can be sold everywhere on the streets here. These natural delicacies in the lake are very popular among everyone! I remember when I was a kid, there were many fish ponds here. At that time, my grandfather also contracted a fish pond, so there were lotus roots, lotus pods, and a lot of food growing in the lake. These things were not valuable at that time. I was really happy when I think about it! Nowadays, houses are being developed everywhere, and there are fewer and fewer lakes and ponds here. Gradually, the sales of these lake products are becoming more expensive. However, because these things grow in water, there is no need to apply pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and they are pollution-free foods. You should eat more during the season!

There are lotuses on four sides and willows on three sides. One city is full of mountains and half is a lake, which is our Daming Lake in Quancheng. Daming Lake has been full of lotus since ancient times, and the lakeside is lined with weeping willows. It is very beautiful. The lotus is noble and elegant. It emerges from the mud without being stained, and washes the water without being evil. It is known as the gentleman among flowers and has been praised by countless literati since ancient times. Lotus flowers are not only included in poems and paintings for people to recite and appreciate, but they can also be eaten and are a good helper for women to reverse time and preserve their appearance. The reason why Xi Shi has the astonishingly beautiful and heavy appearance of a fish is due to the contribution of lotus. When the lotus pond was fragrant in summer, Xishi would go to the lotus pond every morning to collect the dewdrops accumulated on the lotus leaves, pick the blooming lotus flowers, lotus leaves and lotus roots, mash them together, wrap them in gauze, squeeze out the juice and eat them. In ancient Chinese medicine books, there are many records about the beauty effects of lotus: "Compendium of Materia Medica" states that lotus can calm the mind and calm the mind, nourish the skin and lighten the body. Xianlian pills, made from lotus, lotus root and lotus seeds, can improve the appearance, prolong life and prevent aging. Use lotus to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, promote blood circulation, and remove stasis in the body, which can naturally achieve the effect of beautifying the skin. It can be seen that the skin care effect of lotus is indeed good. The lotus is elegant and sweet, refreshing the soul. Cooking and eating lotus is a food custom in Jinan. It has a pleasant fragrance and is really beautiful and delicious. Whenever the lotus blooms in Daming Lake, the fragrant lotus becomes a delicacy for Jinan people.

Red-capped chickens inhabit rice fields, streams, swamps, grasslands, reed ponds and nearby grass and shrubs in low hills and forest edges. They sometimes appear in forest grasslands and swamps and grasslands on both sides of rivers. They often go out to open grasslands in the morning and evening. When in danger, they will run quickly towards the grass or water. After reaching the water, they will either swim in the water or fly to the other side of the water. Sometimes when threatened, they will lower their heads and tails and run on the ground, or hide in the grass or bushes. Feeds mainly on aquatic insects and other small invertebrates.
