Chapter 208 Stinky Fragrant Fruit
On the winding mountain road made of stone slabs at random, Su Jinluo stopped, panting slightly, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info originally thought that on this mountain where there are few people, there are more precious medicinal herbs. But maybe it's this road, Feng Jiang and they often train people to walk, in addition to the vigorous weeds on both sides, there are only towering trees.
"Brother Feng, have you seen any strange plants in the woods?" She looked at Feng Jiang with some expectation, there was not much time, she couldn't look for it all over the mountains.
"Strange plants?" Feng Jiang scratched his head and thought seriously. However, for him, plants are only divided into edible and inedible, and what is considered a strange plant.
Su Jinluo also reacted, Feng Jiang It would be good if they could know some common herbs, and those cherished medicinal materials may not be recognized by ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners.
Turning her head, she was hesitating whether to go back, Qiu Sirui suddenly said: "There is a very smelly fruit in the woods, just smelling it makes people dizzy and disgusting, is it a strange plant?" Originally, everyone thought the smell was too bad and wanted to unplug it. It's just that the head of the regiment uses the stinky fruit as a means of punishment, and sometimes when he makes a mistake, he doesn't beat or scold, so he lets you stand by the tree and feed the mosquitoes, or just put a stinky fruit in your pocket, and you are not even allowed to take it out when you sleep. Qiu Sirui said the latter words with a bit of gnashing of teeth, obviously he was the one who had tasted this kind of method.
Su Jinluo looked at Qiu Sirui in surprise, because of his grandfather's relationship, he had no less contact with it. Although I'm not interested in studying medicine, I know a little bit and know a little bit about it. There is no shortage of medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine that smell strange and unpleasant, and the fruit that makes Qiu Sirui so disgusted and unbearable, how stinky will it be.
Suddenly, she perked up and said excitedly: "Let's go, let's go and see!" ”
Jin Ye suddenly squatted down in front of her, "Come up, I'll carry you!" ”
"Uh......" Su Jinluo was stunned. was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, I'll just go by myself!" ”
"Come up!" Jin Ye's body did not move, and his voice was slightly deep. looked at Su Jinluo, who was slightly stunned. reacted, his tone was a little heavier, and he explained in a soft voice: "The place where the fruit is far away from here, and the road is not easy to walk. I'll carry you over, faster, and you can concentrate on seeing if there are any other medicinal herbs on the side of the road!" ”
Jin Ye was no stranger to that fruit, and naturally knew that this journey was a big burden for Su Jinluo.
Su Jinluo blinked and leaned up without hesitation. Anyway, it's her senior brother, so don't be too polite.
Although Qiu Sirui also wanted to carry Su Jinluo, he was very self-aware and suppressed his thoughts. In the past, it was not easy to walk, and it didn't matter if he was alone. I was afraid that Su Jinluo would fall on her back.
The vines on the ground were tangled, Qiu Sirui and Feng Jiang opened the way in front, and Su Jinluo lay on Jin Ye leisurely and looked at it, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. Sure enough, although she hadn't found any medicinal herbs that made her heart flutter. But it cannot be denied that as they go deeper, the value of the medicinal materials they see is getting higher and higher. She couldn't help but have higher and higher expectations for the stinky fruit that disgusted Feng Jiang and them.
Feng Jiang and Qiu Sirui got closer and closer, their faces became more and more solemn, and they said a little heavily: "There is still a kilometer to go, where there is a huge stone hanging on the mountain wall, and the stinky fruit grows on the boulder. ”
Su Jinluo nodded. Suddenly, the wings of his nose moved, catching a faint taste. He frowned slightly, pondering for a moment. As Jin Ye's feet moved, the smell became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, a flash of excitement burst into her eyes, and she asked excitedly, "Little uncle." The stinky fruit you are talking about is not the size of a grape, purple-black in color, with a strong* flavor and a spicy smell similar to that of a chili. ”
"How do you know?" Feng Jiang asked in a daze, Su Jinluo's overflowing excitement instantly subsided, but the excitement in his eyes became more and more intense, but he forced a flat and flat: "That is an extremely cherished plant." It is not only a rare medicinal material, but also a natural spice with a value comparable to agarwood. I don't know if you have noticed, the fruit is mixed with a faint and very attractive fragrance under the stench. ”
After listening to Su Jinluo's words, the three of them were carefully reminiscing. But they didn't smell anything other than the stench that people couldn't avoid. Perhaps, it is also because as soon as they come into contact with the smell, they can't wait to lose their sense of smell, where they will carefully distinguish the subtle differences in taste.
From Qiu Sirui's reaction, we knew the result, and Su Jinluo was not surprised. The effect of this fruit is rarely known, and she is also seen in an ancient book in the space, and there are herbal curiosities. The medicinal herbs recorded on it are basically extinct. If it weren't for her good memory, she wouldn't have clearly remembered what she had only read once.
She went on to explain: "Because of the smell hidden in the stench, the fruit was named the stinky fragrant fruit. The smell originates from the skin and is used to disguise the enticing aroma of the fruit so that it will not be eaten by tempting animals. "It's just that she didn't tell them that this stinky fragrant fruit should be extinct, and I don't know how it appeared in this forest.
The expectations in her heart were too great, and she couldn't help but suffer a little from gains and losses, afraid that she would make a mistake in judgment and be happy in vain.
As if sensing Su Jinluo's mood, Jin Ye's speed couldn't help but speed up. Because of her explanation, it seemed that the disgusting stench was not so unbearable.
With excitement, when Jin Ye carefully climbed the boulder on her back, and saw the shrub less than a meter low, with black fruits hanging on it, her worried heart finally settled down.
"It's a stinky fragrant fruit, that's right!" Su Jinluo slid down from Jin Ye's back and said with some excitement.
Jin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, smiled faintly, and carefully held Su Jinluo with one hand to prevent her from falling off the small moss-covered stone, and asked, "Is it okay to just pick this fruit like this?" "Not all rare medicinal materials have to be treated specially, such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum.
Su Jinluo looked at the basket that Qiu Sirui was carrying and shook his head, "As long as you don't squeeze the fruit." However, when picking, a section of the pedicle must be left, and the peel and pulp must be separated as soon as possible, otherwise after a long time, the odor components in the fruit and the peel will flow, destroying the medicinal effect of the fruit and the effect of flavoring is also ruined. ”
Seeing Su Jinluo talking, he had already carefully picked off some of the stinky fragrant fruits one by one, and Jin Ye and they also came up to help. When the three of them didn't notice, Su Jinluo carefully threw a few branches into the space.
