All kinds of women are pityed by a hundred people, and a hundred kinds of flowers are loved by a hundred people. Some people like luxurious peonies, some like delicate peony, some like roses with thorns, and I like fragrant jasmine... I like the clear and vulgar lotus, like its muddy but not stained; like its clear ripples but not demon; like its welcoming sun without fear.
According to legend, the lotus was originally the incarnation of Yu Ji, a beautiful maid next to the Queen Mother. At the beginning, Yu Ji was very envious of seeing the pairs of men in the world, men plowing and women weaving, so she moved her heart and sneaked out of the Tiangong with the daughter of the river god, and came to the West Lake in Hangzhou. The beautiful scenery of West Lake enlightened her. Yu Ji lingered, playing in the lake with emotions, and was reluctant to leave until dawn. When the Queen Mother found out, she used the lotus throne to drive Yu Ji into the lake, and told her to "break into the silt, and never ascend to the south forever." Since then, there is no beautiful maid in the heavenly palace, but there is a kind of jade-like watery flowers in the world.
The lotus is a treasure, not only the lotus seeds and lotus root are edible, but also the roots, lotus root joints, lotus, lotus leaves, etc. have their own uses. Lotus root has high nutritional value. It is not only rich in trace elements such as iron and calcium, but also rich in plant protein, vitamins and starch. It has obvious effects of replenishing qi and blood and enhancing human immunity. The lotus root will exude a unique fragrance, it contains tannins, has a certain spleen, antidiarrheal effect, can increase appetite, promote digestion, appetite and invigorate. In summer when there is no appetite, occasionally mix with a refreshing lotus root slices, it will definitely be a better appetizer. "

2: After blanching the water, the lotus root slices put into ice water will be more crispy. I consider the child's diet, so put it in a cool white boil.
