The two siblings continued to walk up the mountain, and the trees on the mountain became more and more and taller, and the road became more and more difficult to walk, but the mountains were more and more depreciated, and it was much better than the only wild flowers and grasses at the foot of the mountain. Yao Huang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the time-traveling novel is not deceiving, and the production on the mountain can indeed help the life of the time-traveling people - provided that you know all those productions.

Yao Huang and Yao Qing picked up a few mountain eggs in the knee-high grass, and dug up a few bamboo shoots by the bamboo forest. There are wild fruit trees on the mountain, like peach, apple, pear, date, walnut...... The trees have begun to bear fruit, but they are not yet ripe, and they are all green and astringent the size of their thumbs, and they cannot be entered. Yao Huang looked at the treetops and sighed, I was afraid that after ripening, many people would go up the mountain to pick, and it was hard to say whether they could pick a small basket at that time.

After walking a long way, the sister and brother harvested most of the baskets of mountain goods, most of which were wild vegetables and the like. Suddenly, Yao Huang was so excited that he was shocked, and he took three steps and two steps to grab a plant, and dug it up regardless of the dirt.

Yao Qing looked at the second sister who was a little abnormal in surprise, what was this plant, which caused the second sister to be so excited.

"Second sister, dig with branches." Yao Qing handed Yao Huang a section of dead branches, and took another one to help dig it up, "Is this also a medicinal herb?" ”

"No, it's not a medicinal herb. It's food, something that fills your stomach. Yao Huang said happily that the herbaceous plant in front of her was the only crop that she had dug up by herself, a housemaiden, - peanuts. Yao Huang is in this alternate time and space agriculture is not developed, the main food crops that people eat are only rice, wheat and corn, such as potatoes and peanuts, which can fill the stomach, have never appeared in the people, I did not expect to be encountered in the mountains. It should be that no one knows the correct way to eat peanuts, and this piece of peanuts grows so luxuriantly, waiting for Yao Huang to find out.

"Sister, this is not delicious." Someone must have beaten them with such a peanut, but no one knew that what was buried in the earth was the essence, and only the leaves and stems on it were eaten...... Yao Qing must have learned from the people who had eaten it how unpalatable it was to just eat the leaves and stems.

"That's because you won't eat. What you can eat is not the above, but the inside of the soil. Yao Huang pulled a peanut out of the soil, revealing dense fruits.

"Second sister, can you eat these?" Yao Qing stretched out his finger and poked the shell of a peanut.

"Eaten raw, fried, boiled and stir-fried, it's all delicious."

Yao Qing touched his stomach when he heard this, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, delicious! It's been a long time since I've eaten delicious food. I don't know what kind of delicious peanuts are here, and the children are looking forward to it, and the digging action is doubled.

Yao Huang smiled when he saw his little brother's reaction, and while digging peanuts, he remembered the text "Falling Peanuts" he learned in elementary school, which seemed to be written by Xu Dishan:

There is half an acre of vacant land in the back garden of our house. The mother said, "It's a pity to let it be wild, but you love peanuts so much, so open up and grow peanuts." "My siblings and I were very happy, we bought seeds, ploughed the ground, sowed seeds, watered them, and within a few months, we actually harvested them.

Mother said, "Tonight we have a harvest festival, and your father will come and taste our new peanuts, okay?" My mother made peanuts into several kinds of food, and asked her to spend the festival in the thatched pavilion in the back garden.

It wasn't very nice that night. But my father also came, and it was really rare.

The father said, "Do you love peanuts?" ”

We vied with each other to say, "Love! ”

"Who can tell you the benefits of peanuts?"

My sister said, "Peanuts taste good. ”

My brother said, "Peanuts can be used to extract oil." ”

I said, "Peanuts are cheap, anyone can buy them and eat them, and they like to eat them." That's the benefit of it. ”

My father said, "The peanut has many benefits, but one of the most valuable is that its fruit is buried in the ground, unlike peaches, pomegranates, and apples, which hang high on the branches and make people fall in love at the sight." You see that it grows low on the ground, and when it is ripe, you can't immediately tell whether it has fruit or not, and you have to dig it up to know the way. ”

We all said yes, and my mother nodded.

The father then said, "So be like peanuts, which are not pretty, but they are useful." ”

I said, "Well, people should be useful people, not people who only talk about decency and do no good to others." ”

The father said, "Yes." This is my hope for you. ”

We talked about late at night. I finished eating all the peanuts, and my father's words were deeply imprinted on my heart.

"Second sister, I dug up a strange stick." Yao Qing pulled out a one-foot-long cylindrical tuber from the soil, took it in his hand and was about to throw it out.

Yao Huang hurriedly snatched the tuber, observed it carefully, tore the epidermis again, and licked the white inside, the taste was light and slightly sour, with a little powderiness...... That's right, this thing is a yam, a yam that can heal and fill the stomach.

"Second sister?" Yao Qing wondered, could it be that this strange stick was also food or herbs?

"Little brother, you are so lucky that you actually found a yam." Yao Huang happily patted Yao Qing on the shoulder, leaving five paw prints on his clothes.

Yao Qing was happy, "Second sister, this thing is a yam, can you eat it?" ”

Look at the size of this stick, it can be eaten by their family of five.

"Of course, yam is a food that fills the stomach more than wild vegetables. It was recorded in "Materia Medica" that "this is food, although the qi is warm but flat, it is to replenish the yin of the spleen and lungs." It is to moisten the skin, grow muscles, taste sweet and salty, and can benefit the kidneys and strengthen yin. ’”

"So good?" Yao Qing's eyes sparkled, "Let's dig a little more and go back." After saying that, he sped up his movements to find the yams, and soon he dug out more than a dozen of them.

"Okay, that's enough. If we dig again, we won't be able to put it back. Yao Huang hurriedly stopped his little brother's move, "Don't move the others yet, we'll pick them after we finish eating." ”

"But......" the little boy reluctantly looked at the green on the ground, and hesitated, "what if someone else poaches it up?" ”

Yao Huang put the yam and peanuts into the back basket, the amount was a bit much, and pressed hard to put all the yams and peanuts dug out into the back basket, "Other people don't know how to eat these two foods, so they are safe, put your heart back in your stomach." ”

Yao Qing looked at Yao Huang's heavy back full of peanuts and yams, and then looked at his back with only wild vegetables, and said, "Second sister, I will carry the yams and peanuts." ”
