Chapter 616: Mountains Full of Wild Fruits
PS: Thank you Eli for the high praise votes of Eli and Moon Shadow Core Core!
Of course, except for the things that stand in the way like Cang's ears and affect the mood, everyone is generally quite happy. On the road, although there are wild flowers everywhere like in spring, I saw a lot of wild fruits.
Chu Jiaqiang reminded early on that it was best to ask others if the wild fruits he was not familiar with were poisonous before eating them. Before he came, the old village chief told him about it.
"Huh! What kind of fruit is that? How is it as white as cotton? Wu Li looked over and saw a few wild fruits on the edge of a small cliff, and those wild fruits were as white as cotton, and he was immediately very surprised.
"That's rice fruit." One child replied immediately. These little guys are also very familiar with wild fruits, they used to herd cattle and run up the mountains almost every day, can they not know each other?
"Can you eat it?" Someone asked.
Chu Jiaqiang nodded: "Yes, but you can't eat more, it is slightly toxic, eating a small amount will not be fine, but it will be a little good for the body." "He knows that this thing has the ability to clear heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and pain, stop itching and stop bleeding; External use for eczema, impetigo, atopic dermatitis, boils, burns and other effects.
When others heard this, they wanted to try it, but it was a cliff, so it was difficult to get past it! Chen Wu had no choice but to send the monkey over to pick it, and it was okay to ask the little squirrel to go, but he had to pay for it. It's just that the monkey doesn't bird him at all, so he can only pay for the little squirrel.
The little squirrel asked the monkey to go over and help with it, and the monkey reluctantly followed.
"Huh! This guy just told it to go, but it didn't move, and the little squirrel shouted, it's not the same or go? Zhou Furong said with a smile.
Soon, the rice fruit was picked back, and everyone tasted a little bit and found a slightly sweet taste. I can't say how it feels. Ye Caiping said: "It's not delicious. ”
"How good can wild fruits be?" Chu Jiaqiang rolled his eyes. Although these things are not polluted and are considered natural, they grow on the mountains without fertilizer, and no one manages them, so they are self-fending for themselves, and many times they are not as delicious as those cultivated artificially.
Later, everyone came across another kind of fruit, which was so exaggerated that it was hanging all over the tree. To Chu Jiaqiang's surprise, many people actually knew each other.
"Amla. That's a lot! One of the tourists gasped. Before, he had heard that this wild fruit was easy to grow and produced a lot of fruits, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"Oh! Amla? We call it Cow Glycocarpus here. Chu Jiaqiang was stunned for a moment. But. These things may be called differently in each place, and I don't care too much about them.
Soon someone went over in person, broke off a branch, and brought it to everyone to share. This fruit is bitter at first, and after a while, it becomes sweet, and it is a wild fruit that is bitter first and then sweet. Maybe. It is also telling people a truth, when eating it, remember that life is bitter first and then sweet.
"This plant is amazing, it can grow on any barren land." Xu Hao introduced.
It is known as a "cheap student". It is not afraid of thinness. Laterite, loess, gravelly soil, no matter how barren the soil can take root. It is both drought and waterlogging-tolerant, with drought-prone high slopes and often flooded furrows. It's still springing and autumn. The self-protection function of the fallen leaves in winter also makes it not afraid of frost. Amla has almost no pests and diseases. Also particularly long-lived, more than 200
The old trees are still green and leafy.
"I found that this kind of fruit is also planted outside, and I heard that after it matures in August, the fruit can be hung on the tree to keep it fresh until February of the following year, but I don't know if it's true or not." Li Quan had eaten this stuff before.
Xu Hao nodded: "It's true, this is absolutely unique in the fruit family." It is also known as the holy fruit in India and has also been famous in the country for a long time. ”
When Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he tasted Hui. Annan. The fruit of a palma tree in the field. And enshrined as "Emperor Gan", this emblica tree has been as old as 630 years, although it was split in half by lightning during the Qing Dynasty, but it is still lush and bears fruit every year. This tree has been introduced as an ancient tree for key cultural relics, and many people visit it, all of whom call it a national treasure.
There is a proverb in southern Fujian folk: "Sweet aftertaste, the more you eat, the more young you are", and there is a folk song of "Yu Gan eats sweet aftertaste, and the old man becomes a teenager after eating".
"What's that? Why is it only blooming now? Out of season? Tang Liye pointed to a few shrubs not far away and said. I saw bunches of things growing on the top of those shrubs, white in the sun, and it was easy to mistake them for flowers.
"That's not a flower, it's also edible, you're so stupid!" The children corrected.
Tang Liye's old face turned red, he was said to be stupid by the child, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he probably couldn't stand it. He lamented in his heart: The baby who grew up in the city can't afford to be hurt!
"It's a salt-skinned wood, and I can't say about the flower now, but it seems a little early to say that the fruit is also a little early. It usually blooms around August, but now it's over. This thing is still available in December, and I'm not afraid of the cold. Chu Jiaqiang said approximately.
"The white ones on top are salt." One of the children said.
These things are not nutritious, but usually go up the mountain, break a branch down, and put it in your mouth, the salty feeling can also pass the time.
"I know this thing." A tourist shouts as if it were glorious to know a wild fruit.
Chu Jiaqiang looked over, it turned out to be a prickly pear, and he was speechless, there should be very few people who don't know about this thing, right? Almost everyone in the countryside knows that it is not only a wild fruit, but also a holy medicine for detoxification, and sometimes, adults will advise children to eat more.
The function of prickly pear has the functions of detoxification, stomach strengthening, digestion, blood activation, and stasis, and can play a miraculous role in preventing and fighting cancer. After the prickly pear is brewed, the effects are doubled, and it is a miraculous health wine for disease prevention! It can be called another magical national treasure of our country.
"This thing, it's quite precious outside, I don't know if it's really that powerful." Zhou Furong also picked one, scraped off the thorns on the surface, and then ate it.
"How can it be so powerful? Advertising must be a little better. However, the detoxification function, stomach and digestion do have a certain status in traditional Chinese medicine. Chu Jiaqiang said.
Not long after, everyone found a very large mountain grape, and those who had not personally picked wild grapes went crazy and filled the bags with mountain grapes one by one.
"Don't pick it up, if you want to pick it, you can pick it when you go back! In a moment, you'll know you're wrong. Chu Jiaqiang reminded. Wasn't it the same before? At first, I was greedy for freshness, picked a lot, and thought I would return with a full load, but who knew that I would throw it back along the way. I was really too tired, and I always wanted to lose weight, so I threw it while walking, picked dozens of pounds, and left a few pounds when I went back.
