Chapter 396: Breadfruit
Now it is good, after a few days of great drought and sun exposure, the temperature has reached, and the tree grows more happily, and even the fruit is ripening faster.
Looking at the breadfruits that were bigger than his head, Si Si's eyes were about to glow, and he hurriedly called Lu Yan and said, "Xianggong, hurry up, you hurry up and help me go up the tree and pick a fruit down." ”
"Huh? What kind of fruit is this? Why do you look weird? For as long as I can remember, I've never seen a fruit grow so big. Lu Yan came to the bottom of the tree, looked at the fruit on the tree, and said with some suspicion: "Can this thing really be eaten?" Isn't it toxic? ”
"Oh, don't bother with it, I promise it tastes good." In fact, Si Si herself has eaten this fruit for the second time, and she doesn't know what it tastes like at all, but she is still excited to play the package ticket at this time.
"Okay, then you wait."
Lu Yan looked at his happy daughter-in-law, smiled and touched her head.
The fruit grows so tall that it is impossible for ordinary people to pick it.
Lu Yan looked around a little, found a stone with a sharp edge, put it in his hand, and hit one of the breadfruits.
'Bang! ’
The breadfruit fell to the ground with a clatter, and a layer of hay was spread on the ground, and the fruit fell from such a high place, and there was not a single crack in it.
Si Si hurriedly ran over, picked up the fruit, put it in his hand and weighed it, "It's almost ten catties." ”
She remembers that breadfruit is a staple food in many tropical regions, and it is very rich in starch, and it can be baked, steamed, or fried before use, and the taste is similar to bread and potatoes after cooking.
In addition, it is good to eat it even if it is directly removed, peeled and boiled, and in some places, the white milk inside is taken to children and chewed like chewing gum.
"Xianggong, can you help me build a fire? Pick a few more. Si Si commanded excitedly.
It was a hot day, and there was a lot of hay outside, so it didn't take much effort to start a fire.
Sisi directly threw a bread fire in his hand into the fire, the shell of the breadfruit was thick, and he didn't worry about catching fire or burning.
As for picking a few more fruits, Si Si put them aside for the time being, and used this one to do an experiment first, after all, he had only heard of such a practice before, but he had never really practiced it.
"That should be fine." Si Si squatted by the fire and waited for half an hour, watching the shells of the breadfruit become charred, and decided to get it out first to taste whether it was good or not.
Si Si took a thick branch over, carefully took out the breadfruit in the fire, put it outside a little cooler, and saw that there were already some cracks on the shell, so he asked someone to help him bring a kitchen knife to come over and say those cracks, and carefully cut the breadfruit.
When the breadfruit is cut, you can see the milky white flesh inside, "It looks a little like taro." Si Si said to himself. Ranwen
Then he carefully cut off a piece, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, but when it was not so hot, he took a bite and immediately opened his eyes in surprise.
"Delicious!" Si Siduo took a bite, and his small mouth was stuffed to the brim, like a hamster eating.
I didn't expect this breadfruit, which looked unattractive on the outside, to be so delicious after baking, the milky white taste was sweet and fluffy, and it was really similar to the bread I used to eat at home.
"Xianggong! Zhou Cailian! Hurry up. ”
Si Si himself became this guinea pig for the trial first, and thought it was really good, so after eating, he called the two of them over, and one of them stuffed a piece of breadfruit in his hand, and said, "Hurry up and eat, it's super delicious!" ”
After hearing this, Zhou Cailian looked at the white fruit in her hand in disbelief, and she didn't dare to say anything she had never seen before.
Lu Yan didn't have so many worries, since Si Si would call them over to eat, this kind of thing must be edible, so he would call them over, so he took a bite without hesitation, and his face, which had always been expressionless, also showed some surprise.
It was the first time he had eaten something with this taste, and the fruit looked similar to ordinary rice cakes, but it tasted soft and sweet, not to mention that it had a unique taste.
Lu Yan didn't eat bread like Si Si, this taste was very novel to him, he couldn't stop taking a few more bites, and after a few bites, he finished eating the breadfruit in his hand, with a little unfinished expression on his face.
"There are a lot of them here, so if you want to eat them, you can get them yourself." When Si Si saw Lu Yan's expression, he also felt very proud.
This is the fruit tree she planted!
'Is it really that good?' Zhou Cailian watched Si Si and Lu Yan eat one bite after another and looked like they couldn't stop, looked at the breadfruit in their hands, hesitated a little, and then carefully tore a small piece down, put it in their mouths and tasted it.
"It's so sweet!" Zhou Cailian's eyes lit up suddenly, Zhou Cailian is also a little girl who likes to eat sweets on weekdays, and this breadfruit is just right for her appetite.
"Good times." Zhou Cailian said with some slurred words while eating.
The three of them sat on the edge of the ground, eating the breadfruit one bite at a time, and the whole breadfruit was eaten clean by the three of them.
"It's full." Although there was still some unfinished look, Si Si touched his little belly that had become round, and finally gave up the idea of roasting another one.
"I can't eat it!" Si Si sighed.
"Sister didn't expect this strange-growing tree to produce such strange fruits, and it was the first time I had eaten something like this!" Zhou Cailian was so excited that her little face flushed, and she chattered around Si Si and kept talking.
"How? I'll just say yes. Si Si was not modest at all, and said proudly: "Anyway, there are still you on the tree, if you want to eat it, ask someone to pick one for you, roast it for half an hour, and then you can eat it, take a kitchen knife and follow its cracked lines, just cut it carefully, and be careful not to burn yourself." ”
After Si Si finished saying this, he took two freshly picked breadfruits and left Zhuangzi to find Qi Zhaodi.
