Mnemonic


[shu-] Sherlock Holmes is in the [3] basement of the [-_] house, which has been converted into a 薯 potato farm. There is a miniature 日 sun hanging in the corner, and 艹 flowers cover the dirt soil. Sherlock, with his elder, digs up the 艹 flowers with a special 罒 net. At the base of each of the 艹 flowers is a 薯 potato, which Sherlock gives to his elder (another famous detective, now retired), who eats it raw.
