Chương 43: Chapter 41 Barbecue

Li Pan led Zhang Yu to pick all the lotus pods and seeds from the lake and spread the seeds out to dry. The lotus roots weren't ready yet; they'd have to wait for the weather to get colder. For now, there were just a few good ones, enough for their own consumption.

They used fishing nets to catch fish and began to clean them, planning to make some smoked fish to save for winter. The excess would be sold at the base.

In the field, the fruits and vegetables were plentiful. Qin Jianzhong saw many ripe ones at different stages. They dried some of the surplus vegetables that they couldn't consume, and sold the rest to the base. They provided melons and watermelons daily to the Patrol Team to quench their thirst, for which the brothers were very grateful. Li Pan's farm was the one they patrolled most diligently.
