Chapter 295: June 6, Sweet Potatoes Are Ripe

Shan Baoer?

It's a very down-to-earth name.

Su Yuqing said: "You said that the name of each place is different. Does it have any other name?"

Li Han nodded and said, "Yes, a lot." It seems to be called something, mountain toss, milk bubble, March bubble, April bubble, barley bubble, bubble thorn, thorn gourd, steamed bread pine, tall foot wave and the like. Anyway, there are a lot of names, and it's messy. ”

Well, it doesn't matter what the name is, the important thing is that Li Han said that this fruit is delicious.

Also, judging from the shape of this fruit, it does give people a feeling that it should be delicious.

Qin Xiaoyue said a little impatiently: "Then can we eat it now?"

Li Han said: "You can eat it." Just pick it off and eat it. Of course, if there is water, it is best to take it off and wash it before eating. Now there is no water, just eat it. ”

Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue nodded at the same time, and at the same time reached out to pick a fruit and put it in their mouths.

Then, the eyes were bright.

Su Yuqing said: "It's really delicious, sweet, and a little sour." The taste is really good!"

Qin Xiaoyue said: "I didn't expect that there would be such delicious wild fruits in the mountain, and I want to eat them again." ”

Li Han smiled: "There are a lot of delicious things in the mountains. Not only is this stuff delicious, but it's also said to have good medicinal properties. It is said that it has the effects of helping yang and brightening eyes, sobering up and quenching thirst, dissolving phlegm and detoxifying, reducing swelling and sores. So, there is no harm in eating it. ”

The two girls nodded at the same time, and the movements of their hands were not slow. It doesn't matter what the medicinal value is, the important thing is that it is really delicious.

Li Han also picked some to eat, and he hadn't eaten this thing in a while.

After eating for a while, it's almost there. Although the food is delicious, you can't eat too much.

Qin Xiaoyue said: "Li Han, you just said that there are a lot of delicious things in the mountains. Is there anything else that tastes good besides this wild fruit?"

Li Han said: "Yes." Let's keep walking, and if we come across any other wild fruit to eat, I'll tell you. ”

"Okay, let's go. The second daughter said at the same time, and her interest was getting higher and higher.

Where had they ever gone to the mountains to find any wild fruit to eat? They were looking forward to the next wild fruit that could be eaten.

After walking for a short while, Qin Xiaoyue made a new discovery.

Not far from the side of the road, she found another red fruit. The plants that bear this fruit are very small.

Generally speaking, the plant, if any, is a small piece of the plant.

This red fruit is also a little bit like a strawberry, but only a little bit like it, not as similar as the one just now.

Because, this red fruit is round, like a small red sphere.

Qin Xiaoyue said happily: "Li Han, Yuqing, you look at this kind of fruit, it is a little like a strawberry." Li Han, what kind of fruit is this? Can you eat it?"

Li Han said: "This is a snake fruit. The older generation said that this fruit is the fruit eaten by snakes, so it is called snake fruit. You can't eat it, because the snake will lick the fruit, which is poisonous. ”

"Ah~~" Qin Xiaoyue was startled and hurriedly jumped away.

Snakes are always very scary.

Su Yuqing said: "Is it really the fruit that the snake eats?"

Li Han laughed and said, "Of course not. It's just the older generation's statement, it's a rumor. Because, sometimes, we will see that this fruit will have something like foam on it, like saliva, and we will think that it is proof that the snake has licked it. But that's actually supposed to be something that a snail vomits. Snakes will not eat this fruit. ”

Qin Xiaoyue patted her heart and glared at Li Han, she really scared her just now. Then he said, "So, can you eat this fruit?"

Li Han said: "You can eat it, but it's not delicious, it's a little sweet, but this sweetness is very light and a little astringent." So, no one will eat this fruit. ”

I see.

Since this is the case, Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue have dispelled the idea of giving it a try.

Qin Xiaoyue looked at the snake fruit on the ground and said, "It's a pity, it looks like it's quite delicious." ”

Li Han said: "It looks delicious, but it's actually not delicious, and even can't be eaten, and there are a lot of things in this mountain." So, if it's something you don't recognize, no matter how delicious it looks like, it's best not to try it. ”

Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue nodded at the same time, and they naturally understood this.

Su Yuqing said: "I only know that there is a fruit that is somewhat like an apple, called snake fruit. I didn't think that this wild fruit is also called snake fruit. By the way, is it called snake fruit in other places?"

Li Han said: "The name of this 'snake fruit' in various places seems to be relatively unified. It seems to be some kind of snake fruit, snake bubble, snakeberry and the like. All with the word 'snake'. It's not like the fruit just now has a mess of names, and there are all kinds of names. ”

"I see. Su Yuqing said, "This kind of snake fruit is not delicious, it is indeed a pity." ”

Li Han smiled: "Although the snake fruit is not delicious. However, there is something delicious in it. ”

"Really, where is it?" the second daughter asked at the same time, and at the same time looked at the place where Li Han was pointing.

I saw that the place where Li Han was pointing, not far from this piece of snake fruit, was an inclined plane.

However, there didn't seem to be any fruit there, just a low plant, as if it was crawling on an inclined plane.

The stems of those plants are cylindrical or slightly flattened, with many branches and slightly enlarged nodes. The leaves are not large, but appear to be tough, oval, green, with a blunt-pointed apex, a base nearly rounded or shallowly heart-shaped, with sparse wavy serrations at the margins.

The second daughter walked to the plant and looked at it for a long time, but did not see any fruit.

Qin Xiaoyue said: "Li Han, is the delicious food you said here? ”

Li Han smiled: "You can't see it like this." You need to peel off the leaves and look carefully, some of the fruits are fully exposed, and you can pick them directly. Some are half-embedded or even half in the dirt and need to be pried out of the dirt. ”

"I see. The second daughter was interested again, and it seemed to be very interesting.

"By the way, what kind of fruit is this? How can it be the same as sweet potatoes, and still grow in the soil. Su Yuqing said.

Li Han said: "It's not that it grows in the soil, in fact, it grows on the stems, but some of the stems are covered by the soil, and they look like they grow in the soil." It's still not the same as sweet potatoes. However, this thing is really called sweet potato. To be exact, it's called 'wild sweet potato'. ”

"Is it really called sweet potato?" Su Yuqing was happy in his heart. Wild sweet potatoes are also sweet potatoes.

Li Han said: "It's indeed called wild sweet potato." However, sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes, and this wild sweet potato is wild sweet potato, and the two are completely different. ”

Qin Xiaoyue said: "It doesn't matter if it's a wild sweet potato or a sweet potato." Let's find one out and take a look first. Is it just time to pick up the leaves and find them? Is it time for the fruit to ripen?"

Li Han said: "There is a saying that 'on June 6, sweet potatoes are ripe. That's what we're talking about. Therefore, in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, it is the time when wild sweet potatoes are most ripe. Now, it's a little late. However, there should still be one, and it should still be able to be found. ”

"Really?" Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue were all happy, and said, "Then let's find it quickly." Like to see what the hell it's like?"

Li Han smiled and said, "Okay!"
