Chapter 209: A Wild Fruit Covered in Thorns
Then, I went to the farm land and took a look.
The peach tree has grown to a height of about three meters. It is estimated that it will not grow any taller.
By tomorrow morning, you should be able to see the peach blossoms in full bloom.
The Manzhu Sawa next to it grows relatively slowly, and it is only a dozen centimeters tall.
It will be several days before the flowers bloom.
Of course, it is said slowly, but only relatively.
Compared with nature, the speed can be described as quite against the sky.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~Click...... "......The cry of a hen came from afar.
It is Li Youran's own hen.
Usually, this is when the hen has just laid eggs.
Li Youran was a little helpless, which hen should have laid eggs outside again.
Li Youran's hens are free-range, and they look for insects around the yard to eat.
Sometimes Li Youran will also feed some food.
In a corner of the yard, Li Youran made two chicken coops for the hens to lay eggs.
Most of the time, the hens go to the coop to lay their eggs.
But sometimes, the hen will also run outside on her own to find a place to lay eggs.
Last time, Li Youran was quite far away from the yard and accidentally found a nest where hens lay eggs.
There were a dozen eggs in it.
Obviously, there was a hen that came here to lay eggs on her own.
And it's been so much down.
If this hadn't been discovered by accident, the eggs would have gone to waste.
Either it will spoil and be stolen by some kind of animal.
Now, it is estimated that another hen is laying eggs outside.
Now that there is nothing to do, Li Youran decided to look for it.
The best local eggs can't be wasted in vain.
Walk in the direction where the hen's cry came from.
After a while, I found a hen crowing, a yellow chicken, coming out of a small bamboo forest.
This chicken can't lay its eggs in the bamboo forest, right?
Go inside and have a look.
Li leisurely walked into the bamboo forest. This bamboo forest is very small, covering a maximum of four or five square meters.
If the chicken did lay its eggs in here, it should be easy to find.
Really.
At the base of a cage of bamboo, Li Youran saw a nest made of withered bamboo leaves, with six eggs in it.
That's all six eggs laid.
Li Youran is also helpless, the family has made such a comfortable nest, but some chickens prefer to come out to make nests and lay eggs by themselves.
Walk over and pick up all six eggs. One of the eggs was still slightly hot.
After that, Li Youran originally wanted to destroy the nest.
But it's better to think about it.
If the nest is destroyed, the hen will come back next time and find that there is no nest here, and it is likely that she will run away to lay eggs elsewhere.
You'll have to look for it again when the time comes. It's better to let it go on here.
Walking out of the bamboo forest with the egg, and not far from the bamboo forest, I saw a yellow-colored fruit covered with thorns.
Many of them are quite large.
Li Youran's eyes lit up, it turned out that unconsciously, these fruits had grown so big.
Pick two and try them in the past.
It is a wild fruit in the mountains called prickly pear.
It is also called sending spring back, and it is the fruit of the silk reeling flower.
The taste is sour and slightly sweet.
I can't say how delicious it is, but that special taste makes people always want to eat a little.
At least every time Li Youran saw prickly pear, he wanted to eat one or two whole pears.
Walk up to the prickly pear and put the egg in your hand on the ground.
Here is a cage of silk flowers. This tree is sun-loving, more than a meter tall, and has short thorns all over its body.
The fruit is oblate and spherical when ripe, can reach 4 cm in diameter, and is yellow. Some also have brown spots and are covered with thorns.
So, be careful when picking them.
Otherwise, it is easy to get pricked.
Li leisurely chose the largest prickly pear and carefully picked it.
Then carefully remove all the thorns around the prickly pear.
Put it in your mouth and take a bite.
Don't bite too much because there are a lot of seeds in it.
It's sour and sour, slightly sweet.
The taste can't be said to be good, but it feels a little sour inexplicably.
It's a nostalgic taste.
Click!
After eating one, I picked another large one.
Keep eating.
After eating two in a row, it was enough.
If you eat it again, you won't be able to eat it. This thing is suitable for eating one or two every few days.
In addition, when you don't have an appetite to eat, you can also pick one or two to eat.
This thing strengthens the stomach and eats, and the effect is very good.
After eating one or two, the custodian has an appetite for food.
By the way, I wonder if any of the guests in the group want to eat?
If anyone wants to eat, Li Youran doesn't mind bringing him some.
So, I took out my phone and took a photo, posted it to the group, and said, "Does anyone want to eat this thing?"
Everyone in the group was still discussing the live broadcast they watched in the morning, and the iron-eating beast.
Seeing Li Youran bubbling again, they were all very excited.
"Hahaha! Is the boss already out of the mountain? It's very fast!"
Li Youran replied: "To be exact, it is still in the mountains." It's just that it's already near my house. ”
The guests in the group already knew that Li Youran lived in the mountains.
So, no one was surprised.
Then, everyone's attention was on the photo Li Youran had just posted.
"Hahaha! It's a prickly pear. Another wild fruit in the countryside. But, to be honest, it doesn't taste good. It's not tasty. ”
"It doesn't taste good. But I saw it and wanted to eat something. Boss, I want to eat. Is the boss going to invite us to eat for free?"
Li Youran said, "Yes, I'm going to Izumo Castle tomorrow." If someone wants to eat it, I'll bring some with me. ”
"Yes, I want to eat. Hahaha! Thank you boss. ”
"And me, I want to eat too. Thank you to the owner. ”
“......”
Although the taste is not good, there are many people who want to eat it.
Everyone said that although it was not very delicious, they were inexplicably a little nostalgic for that taste.
Li Youran deeply agrees with this.
Of course, there are also many customers who have never eaten before.
"Is it another wild fruit? I've never eaten it before. This thing is covered in thorns, how can I eat it?"
"Eat it after you get rid of it!"
"I mean, it's going to be a lot of trouble to get rid of all the thorns. Plus, it's easy to get your hands on. ”
"It feels troublesome, but it's not troublesome. You can get rid of it just by hand. Soon. ”
"Okay. Boss, is he going to bring some tomorrow? I'm going to try one. ”
"And me. I've never eaten it before. Tomorrow thanks to the boss. Give it a good taste. ”
“......”
Many people have expressed a desire to eat it. In that case, let's bring some tomorrow.
Grab the eggs and go home first.
Go back and bring a pair of hard plastic gloves to pick them off.
Eat one or two by yourself, you can pick them with your bare hands.
But if you pick too much, it will be very painful to pick it with your bare hands.
......
Thank you very much, the 5,000 coin reward from Taglele!
Thanks to the big guy for the big tip!
I also want to thank the Confucianism of Damocles for the 100 coin reward and the river system for the 100 reward!
