Passing through Baihe Town, Tainan County that day, it was like suddenly drinking a cup of ice-cold honey water in the summer, cool and sweet.

Baihe Town is a surprising place. It is the largest lotus plantation in the province. Walking in the alleys and strolling in the fields, you will see a field of large and beautiful lotus flowers at the turning point. Those carefully cultivated lotuses seem to be naturally generated, and they are not ashamed in the good scenery of the earth, and they have a special atmosphere of joy in summer.

When I went there, it happened to be the lotus harvest season. The lotus planters were all busy, and all the adults and children went to the lotus field to pick lotus seeds. Those of us who sigh only after seeing the beauty of the lotus will never know how hard the lotus planters are to maintain the pond lotus and make it bloom and bear fruit.

"The setting sun is slanting, the evening wind is blowing, everyone come and sing the lotus ballad. The red flowers are gorgeous, the white flowers are charming, the fragrance is fragrant and the summer heat is gone. You hit the oar, I will hold the pole, and I will cross the bridge with a single sound. Get the lotus and enjoy the pottery." The "Lotus Picking Ballad" we sang in our childhood seemed like a dream in Baihe, because the lotus planters did not pick lotus flowers for viewing, but lotus seeds used to support the family's life, and there were no lotus fields that could be beaten. The lotus boat with the oar propped up on the pole, but step by step in the mud of the lotus field.

The lotus-picking time is when the sun just comes out in the early morning or when the sun is about to set in the evening. The lotus-pickers carry bamboo baskets and bamboo hats on their backs, wading into the shallow mud, and blossoming the mature lotus pods. Pick it up and put it in a bamboo basket. The collected lotus pods were first dug out of the lotus seeds inside. There was a thick shell on the outside of the lotus seeds, which was peeled off one by one with a knife, and the crystal white lotus seeds rolled to the ground.

After the lotus seeds are peeled, the lotus hearts in the lotus seeds need to be picked out with fine needles. All these rely on dexterous handwork, and one cannot be lazy, so the whole family joins the work. Empty lotus pods can be sold to traditional Chinese medicine shops and can be hung for decoration; white lotus seeds can be used to make lotus seed soup and many delicious dishes; bitter lotus hearts can be used to make bitter tea, which not only reduces fire but also refreshes the mind.

I worked for a day in Baihe Town to watch the lotus people. I don’t know why they always think that lotus planters are like lotus seeds. On the surface, lotus flowers are beautiful. The landscape of lotus fields is the most beautiful of all crops, but they work The hard work and lotus heart is the same, it is bitter. The season of picking lotus is from the Dragon Boat Festival to the turn of summer and autumn in September.

The lotus field is actually a piece of mud, and the lotus pickers have to guard against the blood-sucking leeches swimming in the field, and the stems of the lotus are covered with thorns. I saw that the trousers of every lotus-picker were scratched with holes by these dense thorns, and sometimes they were scratched with bloodstains. It can be seen that living on the beautiful lotus is not an easy thing.

The children rolled the lotus leaves into a cup shape and ran up and down the lotus ridge holding the lotus seeds, which made me feel that no matter how hard the harvest is, there is a happy side.

The lotus is actually a lotus flower. It is called "lotus" before it blooms, and it is called "lotus" after it blooms and bears fruit. I always feel that the two names have different meanings: the feeling of the lotus is innocent and innocent, like a pure and flawless young girl; the lotus is a majestic appearance, like a young woman who is about to give birth. The lotus is suitable for viewing and is the friend of poets and artists; the lotus brings a little bitterness of life, and it is the life of the lotus people. Thinking of my ignorance about lotus for many years, I only like to see lotus and think about lotus from a high place, but I have never entered the real lotus world. I can't help feeling guilty when I see the joys and sorrows of life behind lotus fields.

Who knows how much blood and sweat are irrigated by thirty lotus seeds in a lotus pod? Who knows how long a farmer's toil is a bowl of frozen lotus seed soup in summer?

I accompanied a lotus planter on his lotus field, watching him walk by the lotus field covering an area of ​​one acre, telling me how to plant a lotus, how to irrigate, how to grow, how Harvesting, how to avoid wind disasters, and waiting for next year's harvest, I feel that one of the most ordinary things in the world may be something that we will never know.

I stood on the lotus field, watching the sun shine on the lotus field, and remembered that "leaving the residual lotus to hear the sound of the rain" is probably a realm that lotus people can't enjoy, because when the lotus is dead, they will plant again. Tanaka's lotus leaves are sitting in one piece, standing in a pile, and they are tangled in the field. We use some empty and pure poems to sing the beauty of the lotus leaves and Tiantian, and it will never be as good as the lotus planters who use their years and blood and sweat to write poems on the lotus leaves!
