In fact, what Li Qi is looking for is some condiments, because he knows that there is no concept of condiments in these years, everything is eaten alone, and condiments are generally with a pungent taste, and it is generally not delicious to eat alone, and people here like to eat sweet, so most of the delicious ones are not condiments.

After the two entered the woods, the women were nowhere to be seen, which fully showed that flying was always faster than walking.

"This! This one! This one is not delicious! ”

Soon after entering the woods, the farmer ran to a grass about his height.

Li Qi looked at the grass and said in his heart, this shouldn't be garlic, right? "You're saying this grass is not delicious?" ”

"No, no."

Nong suddenly crouched down, and dug the soil with his hands for a while, then grasped the low end of the grass, and pulled it hard, only to see that he pulled out a cone-shaped rhizome, like a spinning top, the diameter of which was as large as a football.

"What is this?"

Li Qi walked over and cleaned the dirt from it, but saw that the "spinning top" had screw-like lines on it, the upper half was pale red, and the lower half was white. He said to the farmer again: "Have you eaten?" ”

Nong nodded and said, "This is very unpalatable. ”

That shouldn't be poisonous. Li Qi took the knife and cut it in the middle, only to see that the inside was pale yellow, very tender, he dug out a little bit with the knife, put it on his tongue, and immediately frowned.

"Isn't it unpalatable?"

"Punctuality!"

Li Qi said excitedly: "This taste is so good, I have never eaten such delicious ginger." ”

"What ginger? Is this delicious? ”

The farmer took half of it, took a bite of it, and immediately spit it all out, saying, "What is delicious, it is obviously very difficult to eat, bah blah." ”

"It's still a foodie, it's really tasteless, this is really the best of ginger." Li Qi was very excited, but he also wondered in his heart, I have never seen this kind of ginger, and there is no Song Dynasty, but from the taste, it is obviously the taste of ginger, but the taste is very mellow, is it... Could it be that this is the ancestor of ginger, yes, now it's a primitive era, and there are a lot of condiments that I haven't seen before, wow! It's so much to look forward to.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but move his index finger, threw the ginger in his hand to Nong, and said, "Take it!" Let's keep looking. ”

Farmers are confused.

The two walked for a while, and Li Qi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Nong, do you know what salty taste is?" ”

Nong shook his head and said excitedly, "What does it taste like?" ”

"What does it smell like? It's hard to say. Li Qi pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you usually drink water that tastes?" ”

Nong thought for a moment and shook his head vigorously.

Could it be that they can live so healthily without eating salt? No, this salt is necessary for human beings, and it is not enough to take salt from animals, and even if it is enough, they do not eat meat very often, so where does he get salt from?

I heard the farmer shouting: "There is this, this is also very unpalatable." ”

Li Qi came back to his senses, fixed his eyes, and saw the farmer squatting next to a very special shaped plant, the plant was cylindrical, the stem below was as white as snow, the top was as green as jade, as thick as a big bowl, but only twenty centimeters high.

Nongdao: "The white one down here is still edible, but it's not tasty, but the rhizome under it is very unpalatable." ”

As he spoke, he scraped it up with both hands again.

After digging for a while, I saw that the farmer dug out a pumpkin-sized rhizome from it, but it was purple-red in color.

Could it be a pumpkin? Li Qi half-squatted, reached out and touched it, and found that there seemed to be a layer of skin on the outside, so he wanted to reach out and peel the skin, "Wow! It's really hard to peel off! He took out the dagger again, cut a knife, and picked it hard, but it was as difficult as the peel of a grapefruit, and he said to the farmer who was still in the circle: "Pick it up." ”

Nong shook his head and said, "This doesn't need to be picked. ”

Li Qi said: "But I want to see what's inside?" ”

Nong waved the stone knife in his hand and directly cut off all the stems and leaves on it, only to see that the skin slowly opened.

"Don't you want to be so scientific!"

Richie was dumbfounded.

After a while, the fruit inside was revealed, white and jade-colored, crystal clear.

Li Qi suddenly sniffed with his nose, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he dug out a little bit with a dagger, put it on his tongue, and suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Yes.... Big garlic? ”

Nong Mian said regretfully: "It's quite big, if only it was delicious, one can be full, but it's not delicious at all." ”

"Isn't that tasty?"

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "What do you know, this is simply the best of the best, it's really unfair, why are you all some of the best here!" What kind of shit I used to eat! ”

Nong wondered, "This is also delicious?" ”

"You'll find out later! Hold, hold. Li Qi was so excited, such a superb seasoning, coupled with the best snake meat, he was going to drool just thinking about it.

Nong was about to cry, he really thought that this thing was garbage, how sweet and delicious those fruits were, and this thing was not for people to eat.

But he couldn't help it, so he threw it into the air with both hands.

Li Qi was startled, "What are you doing..... ”

"Didn't you let me hold it?"

Nong said with a stunned look on his face as he held the huge garlic on his back.

Li Qi was already dumbfounded, and after a while, he said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." "I thought, I can't pick up the skin of this thing, and I can't take it, which really fulfills the old saying, this side of the soil raises one person.

About another hour passed, and I saw that the farmer's hands, head, and shoulders were already full of all kinds of grass, flowers and fruits, stems, leaves, and roots, but he didn't feel tired at all, just looked at Li Qi from time to time.

I saw Li Qi with his head down, laughing so much that his whole body was shaking, and he just couldn't stop.

These things, in Nong's opinion, are garbage, but in his opinion, they are all the best of the best, the taste is extremely pure, and it can even be said to be a new taste, but it is similar to some condiments in later generations, and how many kinds of dishes can be made, but he is very happy.

"Huh? How can there be so many white fruits here? Isn't it Qiaoma, they haven't passed through here? ”

Li Qi suddenly noticed that there were suddenly many fruits around him, round and white as snow.

Nong Dao: "This is the most unpalatable fruit on the tree, so they just pick a few back and peel a little skin for us to eat." ”

Li Qi sighed and said, "This skin is better than the flesh inside?" ”

Nong shook his head and said, "It's not delicious, but if you eat a little bit of this skin every day, you won't get sick, so we eat a little bit every day." ”

Li Qi recalled, and found that there seemed to be a white thing in the dinner, and said, "I have to try it today." He wanted to call Nong, but he was embarrassed to see that Nong was holding so many things, so he walked towards a tree.

When he came to a tree, he rubbed his hands and climbed up.

But halfway up, I suddenly saw a fruit fall, and I was overjoyed, and said, "I won't be so lucky." ”

He hurriedly jumped down, and suddenly saw Nong go straight over, crouch down with his neck straight, and pick up the sharp stone chip he had just thrown from the ground.

"You... Didn't people in your hometown climb trees before? Nong couldn't help but ask.

"Uh... Well, yes. ”

Li Qi wiped the cold sweat and walked over, picked up the white fruit that had been cut off by a stone knife from the ground, the skin was relatively soft, but very elastic, he cut it with a knife, and the juice immediately flowed out, and said in his heart, so much juicy fruit will be difficult to eat.

He dipped his finger in a little juice and licked it.

"Wow! It's so salty! Phew! ”

Richie's face was distorted.

Nong said with a smile: "They all say that this is the most unpalatable fruit, but you still don't believe it." ”

"Salty?"

Li Qi was stunned suddenly, and suddenly looked at Nong Dao: "You said that you eat this piece of this skin every day, and if you don't eat it, you will get sick?" ”

Nong snorted.

This... Is there salt in it? Li Qi stared at the fruit, only to see that the flesh inside was really like snow, and said in his heart, this is impossible, this salt should also be considered a mineral, how... How can it be in the fruit, this is really unscientific, maybe the fruit happens to be salty, not necessarily salt, but according to the farmer's statement, it is very likely to contain salt. Alas... Forget it, take a few back and test it out, this practice is true.
