On the road, there was naturally laughter and laughter all the way, everyone was playing and making trouble, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Everyone may come from all over the world, and few people originally knew each other. But these days, there is no pressure to communicate, everyone wants to know old friends for decades, talk and laugh.

"The fruit in front of you looks like it's bearing a lot." A tourist saw a brown wild fruit in front of him, only the size of his thumb, in bunches, growing very well.

"That's a begonia pear, it's not time to eat it raw, it's astringent. You can pick it back, boil it in water, and then soak it in sugar water, or stick it with sugar, a bit like a rock sugar gourd. Chu Jiaqiang replied.

"We call it Douli in the Northeast." Li Xiangdong said.

In fact, this tang pear is a very widely distributed wild fruit in China, which may not be common in the northwest and is distributed in other places, especially in the northeast and south China.

Bean pear, Rosaceae pear is a deciduous tree, also known as deer pear, tang pear, wild pear, bird pear, etc., native to East China, South China to Vietnam, there are a number of varieties often wild in warm and humid hillsides, marshes, miscellaneous forests, can be used as a rootstock for grafting Western pear. Roots and leaves have medicinal value, can moisten the lungs and relieve cough, clear heat and detoxify, and treat acute ocular conjunctivitis; The fruit can strengthen the stomach and stop dysentery.

When the others heard this, their eyes lit up, and their steps quickened a lot. Look at the posture, the begonia pear can't be saved, there are so many people here, and the tangtang pear hanging on the branches also seems to be more monks and less porridge.

"Be careful, that tree has thorns, it's no joke." Chu Jiaqiang hurriedly reminded.

When Tianjia took a closer look, he found that the tree was full of thorns like iron nails, and many people stopped looking.

"This tree is smart enough to protect itself in this way." A tourist looked at the fruit on it, and was stunned that no one dared to climb up.

Chu Jiaqiang took the mountaineering crutches prepared by a tourist, hooked down a branch, and folded it down in strings, and the others immediately followed suit, and a tang pear was picked naked.

This begonia pear is a shrub, not tall, only three or four meters, so everyone will pick it so easily. If you change to other wild fruits, it will be a little difficult. Some wild fruits like to grow in places with harsh environments, like some hanging slopes, ordinary people dare not go down, only those small animals are blessed.

"Pick more and go back, I'm going to make rock sugar gourds myself." Ye Caiping is very happy, she likes her current life more and more.

Many people are also thinking like her, ready to make some food by themselves, which may not be delicious, but it tastes good and has a kind of prestige.

"Sister Ye, do you know how to make rock sugar gourds?" Chu Jiawan asked.

Others look over too, because many of them don't. Ye Caiping shook her head and said, "I won't, your eldest brother should be, right?" Otherwise, how could he say that he could make rock sugar gourds? Besides, there are definitely on the Internet. ”

Next, everyone spread out slightly and picked wild fruits on the road. The most are still mountain twists, and this wild fruit is full of their shadows. The purple-black fruit is very attractive, so everyone picks it, then peels off the tail part and puts it in their mouths. These people have forgotten that they were originally collected, and as they are now, it seems that they will not collect without having eaten enough.

"This fruit is really weird, it actually ripens while it blooms." Zhou Furong simply sat down and leaned against a mountain twist tree, which just blocked the sunlight. While picking and throwing it in your mouth, you can enjoy the cool breeze from the mountains.

Early autumn is the season when the mountain twist fruit is ripe. The fruit is green and yellow, yellow and red, red and purple. The fruit is abundant, like a miniature version of the wine glass, there is a core in the fruit, very much like a worm, the core is multi-seeded, and the taste is unusually sweet. It is best to eat when the bolt is ripe purple, it quenches thirst and has a sweet aftertaste, and the tongue and teeth will also be dyed purple and black.

"At lunchtime, everyone drinks some salt water." Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile. When you eat too much, you must drink a bowl of salt water, otherwise it will be difficult to defecate the next day.

When he saw that everyone was looking at him inexplicably, he was about to answer a little more subtlely, when the young villager next to him said: "If you eat too much mountain twist, it may be difficult to defecate if you don't drink salt water." ”

Li Quan glared at him and said, "We're eating now, can't we say something so disgusting?" ”

The young villager muttered, "I'm already very subtle, and I don't have a habit of talking about." ”

"I'm rubbing! What is so immoral? Eat half and leave half. Zhou Furong took off an extra-large and extra-black one, and his heart was happy, but when he saw the other side, his face turned black. I saw that the other side of the fruit was actually eaten.

"Haha! The little bird is very fond of this fruit, and the bird has always been very picky about eating, and only eats the best parts. Chu Jiaqiang saw that Zhou Furong was deflated, and immediately laughed.

"Can you eat that flaming red fruit in front of you?" Someone immediately asked. They didn't dare to pick indiscriminately, and Chu Jiaqiang reminded them at the beginning that some wild fruits were inedible and poisonous, especially those that looked bright. So I didn't dare to pick those fiery red fruit wines when I saw them.

"Yes, we call it match fruit, it tastes good, but wild fruit is troublesome to eat." Chu Jiaqiang replied.

These wild fruits also look very impressive, but they are too small, the size of a matchbrain, and they are really troublesome to eat. When I was young, a group of my children went up to the mountains to pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. No way, except for the New Year's Day, the hand will be looser, and there is basically no pocket money at other times.

Hearing this, everyone went up the mountain like a devil, and picked the match fruit cleanly, and it was really not a single one.

Some people who are not used to picking grains simply tear off a handful and stuff them into their mouths with a sweet and sour taste, not very good, but also very good.

At this time, a tourist was accidentally strangled by a plant with thorns all over his body, although it was only a very light skin injury, but seeing the blood drop by drop, the person was also a little frightened, and hurriedly turned out the Band-Aid. It's just that although the wound is not deep, it is very wide, and the band-aid is somewhat insufficient.

"Don't worry, you just pick some sprouts and wipe the wound back and forth a few times." Chu Jiaqiang comforted.

"Is this okay?" The man asked, skeptically.

"The sprouts of the mountain twist can stop the bleeding!" The villagers of Chujiazhai who came with him informed. They generally don't use band-aids for traumatic injuries in rural areas, but go to the front and back of the house to find some herbs, grind them, put them on them, and then tie them with a strip of cloth and everything will be fine.

When the man heard this, he did as he said, and sure enough, the bleeding quickly stopped, and there were indeed some doorways in the secret passage. (To be continued)
