Chapter 179: Onigiri (Ask for Subscription)
Although the black tiger has a lot of medicinal effects, Liu Qingshan didn't really want to cut it and take it back to sell for money or spare it.
Just kidding.
After all, Liu Qingshan loved the irreplaceable Wild Fruit Black Tiger more than the black tiger that could be replaced by other medicinal herbs.
What's more, people are now fruitful!
Looking at the huge 'rice balls' hanging from the branches, I was really moved. Liu Qingshan was almost moved to tears!
The memory of eating the black tiger fruit 'rice balls' can be traced back to before I was five years old.
It seems that after the age of five, he has never seen a black tiger again, let alone tasted its delicious fruit 'rice balls'.
The black tiger is also known as cold rice balls, but the mountain people love to call its fruit 'rice balls'.
The thumb-sized individual fruits are clustered together like grapes, and at first glance, they look a bit like a football.
It's a bit like an overly restrained and overly formal grape.
Each of its small fruits has its own peel, and the peel is closely arranged with the peel in one place, forming a fist-sized wild fruit.
In fact, the cold rice balls I have eaten before are not so big, and the size is like a little doll's fist.
I don't know if it's because the land here is fertile and inhabited, the rice balls produced by this black tiger are particularly large, almost the size of Liu Qingshan's fist.
Looking at the light in the night sky
The rice balls hung in the air like stars, and Liu Qingshan's excitement was beyond words.
He had forgotten all about the wild boar, and about the cinnabar root, and when he had found the snakeskin bag, he climbed up the trunk of the great tree with many vines.
The tree was tall and strong, bigger than the one that had just stuck the boar. Its canopy alone is estimated to be the size of two old houses in the family.
The branches of the large tree crisscrossed the air, and all the thick branches climbed thick black tiger vines.
And on the branches of the vines, there are heavy red fruits, which look full and not magnificent.
Liu Qingshan climbed onto the trunk of the tree and walked out along the branches of the big tree, picking these precious rice balls while tasting its deliciousness.
He plucked a rice ball from the vine, then grabbed the rice ball with one hand, pulled out a small obovate fruit from the spherical fruit with the other hand, and then put the pointed part of the small fruit into his mouth, and gently pinched the buttocks of the small fruit with his fingers, and when he sucked it in his mouth, the sweet flesh was squeezed into his mouth.
The flesh of the rice ball is a bit like a grape, the pulp is rich and delicious, and the color of the fruit is the same as that of a lychee, which is milky white and very delicate.
Its fruity aroma is as fresh as that of apples.
Liu Qingshan couldn't bear it, and ate several rice balls in a row, until his stomach felt a little swollen.
After eating the rice balls, I looked up at the top of the tree.
The dense rice balls are hanging all over the branches, and if you pick them all back, you may not be able to eat them all, and maybe they will spoil, which will be wasted. As for selling it, Liu Qingshan feels that this product may not be able to afford a high price.
Even though wild rice balls are now very rare, it seems a bit unrealistic to ask others to spend dozens of dollars to buy a pound of fruit.
Moreover, these rice balls are quite large, a rice ball, with fruit and skin, is estimated to be nearly a catty. If you sell it at the price of Bufona grown by others, you can sell it for as little as 50 yuan a catty......
Who would pay fifty dollars for a piece of fruit? Ahh
Moreover, excluding the peel, in fact, there is not much flesh in this rice ball, only three or four quantities of meat.
Except for those who are particularly rich, it is estimated that few ordinary people will spend such money to try it.
Therefore, if you want to sell these mountain black tigers, it is estimated that you can only take them to a large city and sell them. However, that was really of little interest to Liu Qingshan.
After all, the distance is long, and it is really inconvenient to go to the big city with so many mountain fruits. Moreover, who knows what kind of people are in the big cities?
Thinking about it this way, Liu Qingshan had a different idea about these cold rice balls hanging on the branches.
Perhaps, it is best to let them stay on the branches to mature naturally, fall naturally, take root and sprout naturally, and expand the population naturally.
The value of the black tiger is not only a medicinal material, not only a wild fruit, but also an indispensable part of the mountains and forests.
In this forest, there must be something that depends on it for its survival, and if it perishes, perhaps that thing that depends on it will also perish. Just like a wolf and a sheep, a sheep and a grass, and a grass and a wolf, this is both an interdependent relationship and a cycle.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan planned to show mercy to his subordinates, and if he didn't catch all these precious rice balls, he would leave some of them on the branches.
After picking a whole sack of rice balls, Liu Qingshan continued to dig cinnabar roots, until he saw that the sunset was about to ignite Xishan, so he hurriedly took all his things and rushed home.
"Today's harvest is amazing. As soon as he entered the door, Liu Qingshan boasted, "I dug up a lot of cinnabar roots today." ”
Liu Yuanhe scoffed, and Wu Cuimei only symbolically echoed two sentences.
Seeing that the old couple's interest was not as strong as they expected, Liu Qingshan threw out Wang Fang: "I also picked a whole sack of rice balls." You see. ”
He pulled a large bag of rice balls that had just been unloaded from the wooden burden to the hall, then squatted down, pulled the corners of the two bags, and pulled hard, and poured the whole bag of rice balls to the ground.
Watching the round and bright red rice balls rolling to the ground, the old couple widened their eyes and looked at the wild fruits rolling to their feet in surprise.
I saw that these wild fruits were extremely large, almost all of them were the size of my son's big fist, and they were all bright red in color and full of flesh, which made people extremely happy at first sight.
The two of them squatted down at the same time, and one of them grabbed two huge rice balls, surprised and delighted.
Wu Cuimei exclaimed: "Oh my God, why is this rice ball so big? It is heavy in my hand, it seems to be almost a catty." ”
"Haha, I've lived for decades, and I've never seen such a big ......" Liu Yuanhe grabbed the two huge, soft, pink, and sweet giants, and was very excited, "Rice balls, this is too big, I've never seen such a big one." ”
"As for it, it's just a few rice balls. Liu Qingshan said with a smile, "I picked so much today, let's eat enough." ”
"Do you keep all of these for food, don't you sell them?" Liu Yuanhe asked, "If you sell them, maybe they can be sold for ten yuan a catty." ”
"Ten yuan a catty?" Liu Qingshan shook his head, "Then don't waste your feelings, just keep it for yourself." ”
"Oh, by the way, Aoyama, you hurry up and send a few to your grandmother. Wu Cuimei said suddenly, "Your grandmother also loves to eat dumplings." ”
"Don't go. Liu Qingshan refused, "Last time I sent her a cow egg mound, she didn't open the door." ”
"Oh, it's her business whether to open the door or not, and it's your business whether to send it or not. Wu Cuimei persuaded, "Your grandmother is lonely, she loved you so much when you were a child, there are some good things, but you must not miss her share, do you know?"
"Okay, okay. I'll send it now. "My mother said so, and Liu Qingshan had no reason to refuse.
