There is no sun and moon in the mountains, Jin Ping and Jin An have been staying for several days, the day before they left, Xiao Qinghe said: "Brother Jin Ping and Brother Xiao An will go back tomorrow, today we will go to the peach forest to pick some peach gum, you take it with you to eat on the road." ”

"What is peach gum?" Jin An really hadn't heard of this thing.

Xiao Qinghe said: "This is a good thing! It also has a nice name, which is called Peach Blossom Tears. Eating in summer is the best way to clear away heat and relieve heat, and it can also clear blood and lower lipids, let's pick more for a while, you can also relieve the heat while eating on the road, and then bring some to Han Zuzu and Grandpa Zhou, and also give uncles and aunts to taste. ”

Peach gum is actually a resin secreted from the bark of the peach tree, which forms an amber-like gum when the sun evaporates. In later generations, some places would deliberately cut the bark of peach trees in summer, so that peach trees secrete peach gum, which was picked and sold.

Jin An was full of curiosity about all new things, and when he heard that the peach tree would cry, and the tears that flowed out could still be eaten, he felt that it was funny, and said with great interest: "Okay, then let's go pick peach gum in the morning." ”

As soon as they finished eating, the children in the village ran over again, and when they heard that the peach blossom tears could still be eaten, they were all curious, and they all headed towards the peach forest lively.

Xu Xiaoyun said curiously: "Lotus, can peach blossom tears really be eaten?" ”

She grew so big, she really didn't know that peach blossom tears could be eaten.

Xiao Qinghe said: "Of course the peach blossom tears can be eaten, and they are delicious, let's pick more in a while, and I'll tell you how to do it." ”

Xu Xiaoyun is now convinced of Xiao Qinghe's words, since the lotus flower said that it can be eaten, then it must be eaten!

Xu Xiaoyun has always been interested in everything that can be eaten.

This peach forest in Shanghe Village is really vast, and it was also magical when it was first planted, Shanghe Village was planted with peach trees, and Xiahe Village was planted with pear trees.

Didn't you think about planting more fruit trees? With so many peaches and pears, how can they be sold at a high price in this small place of Fengming Township?

Not to mention the sixties and seventies, even now the transportation is not developed, for small villages, large-scale planting income is not large, but planting a little bit of everything, the income in the village can be higher.

But this is already an established fact, and there is no point in dwelling on it.

However, such a large peach forest, I don't know how much peach gum can be produced, which makes Xiao Qinghe full of expectations for today's harvest.

Although the children in Shanghe Village didn't know what peach gum was, as long as they said peach blossom tears, they all understood, and they didn't need Xiao Qinghe to teach them, so they ran to pick them themselves.

However, before picking, Xiao Qinghe also reminded them to try to choose the kind that is big and looks cleaner.

After all, with such a large peach forest, there is no need to pick those inferior ones.

After Xu Xiaoyun and the others scattered with baskets, Xiao Qinghe walked to a peach tree, pointed to a lump of amber substance on the bark, and said to Jin Ping and Jin An:

"Brother Jin Ping, Brother Xiao An, this is Peach Blossom Tears. Like this one, the quality is better, the size is large, the color is relatively bright, and it can be seen that there are not too many impurities in it. ”

She pointed to another peach blossom tear not far away next to her, and said: "It's not very good like this, it's small, the color looks very dark and turbid, it can be seen that there are more impurities mixed in it, so it is not recommended to pick it." ”

Jin Ping and Jin An looked at it carefully and kept it in mind.

Over there, Xu Xiaoyun and Xu Hui have already started. One by one, the figures climbed up and down, shouting "I found a big one here" here, and shouting "My one is so transparent" for a while, adding a bit of popularity to this peach forest that no one has paid attention to for a long time.

Jin An followed Xiao Qinghe's side step by step, and he said: "Miss Lotus, don't do it, where do you see it, tell me, I'll pick it." ”

Xiao Qinghe blinked: "If it's in a high place, you can pick it, and I'll pick it in a low place." ”

"Okay, that's it!"

Picking peach blossom tears is very simple for Xiao Qinghe, she used the spiritual eye technique, in her field of vision, which peach blossom tears contain more vitality, which peach blossom tears contain less vitality, it is clear at a glance.

And the one that contains more vitality must be a big head and few impurities, which points her in the direction.

"Brother Xiaoan, there are a lot of them on this peach tree."

Xiao Qinghe took Jin An to the foot of a peach tree, looked up, and saw that on the trunk of the peach tree, one here, one there, there were several peach blossom tears, and on the branches above, there were several, all of which were relatively large and relatively clean.

She picked off the low ones and put them in the basket, Jin An climbed up with the trunk of the tree, and when she met a good peach blossom tear, she picked it and threw it down.

Xiao Qinghe can always catch them accurately and prevent them from falling to the ground and getting dusty.

September squatted on the ground, looked up for a while, and suddenly, with a run, it pounced on the trunk of the tree, and its sharp claws stretched out, grabbed deeply into the bark, and climbed onto the branch after a few rubs.

Jin An turned his head to look at it: "Stinky September, don't climb up, if you step on the peach blossom tears, I want you to look good!" ”

September ignored him, climbed higher than the branch he stood, walked lightly on the branch, and then stopped somewhere, raised his front paws, and his sharp nails sticking out and seemed to glisten in the sun.

It cautiously stretched its claws to the branches, and in Xiao Qinghe's field of vision, there was a shallow mass of vitality where its claws were extended.

September's claws lightly hooked on the Yuan Qi mass, and Xiao Qinghe saw that the Yuan Qi mass broke away from the branch and fell down.

Stretching out his hand, Xiao Qinghe took the vitality ball into his hand, spread out his palm and saw that it was a thumb-sized, transparent and clean peach blossom tear!

Xiao Qinghe's heart stirred, is this smart again in September?

"Well done! September! ”

Hearing the praise of the little master, September squatted on the branch, raised his head, and screamed, "Meow~", his tail hung down, and he shook it one by one.

Jin An waved his hand, brushed away the cat's tail that swept to his head, and said angrily: "September, take care of your tail!" Sweep it to my head again and see if I don't pluck all your tail hair!" ”

He looked down at Xiao Qinghe and said aggrievedly: "Little Lotus, you also helped September bully me...... Its tail swept over my head, and you complimented him on a job well done......"

Xiao Qinghe couldn't cry or laugh: "What...... It was in September that I picked a peach blossom tear just now, and I praised it. ”

"I don't believe it! Can you pick peach blossom tears in September? It's good if it doesn't mess around! ”。

"Oh, you see, this is the peach blossom tears picked in September, big and clean."
