Chapter 183: Delicious Fruit
The fruit was round and bright orange-red, and it looked very attractive on the surface, and this is the ancient times, and these ancients were always afraid of those things with attractive colors, so this thing has never appeared in the bazaar, or on anyone's table.
But Qian Qianqian was not one of these ancients, she saw at a glance what this fruit was, reached out to pick one, wiped it with her sleeve, and then lowered her head and took a bite.
The juice of the fruit is sweet and sour, very soft and glutinous, although this sour taste accounts for more than half, but it tastes inexplicably refreshing, making people have an endless aftertaste, Qian Qianqian knows that this fruit is nothing else, it is a modern tomato.
In this ancient time, there were no persimmons, and there were wild tomatoes in the mountains and forests, which was really surprising, and if she brought this kind of seeds back to the space to plant and cultivate, and when they were ripe, they would be introduced to the hot pot restaurant to create a tomato-flavored pot base, which would definitely be very popular.
Qian Qianqian couldn't help but chuckle, she didn't expect that this trip to find medicine could have such a harvest, she immediately picked the tomatoes, pulled up the roots of the plant, and carefully put them into the back basket.
After doing all this, Qian Qianqian went down the mountain satisfied, returned the shovel to Liu Han, and rushed straight to the town's home, without stopping along the way, and finally rushed back home before dark.
"Eldest sister, you can be counted as back, Brother Yao seems to be getting sicker and sicker."
Qian Xuan heard the footsteps outside the house, so he immediately greeted her, and as soon as Qian Qianqian opened the courtyard door, she threw herself into Qian Qianqian's arms.
"I've found the medicine, I'm going to decoct the medicine for Brother Yao, it's okay, don't worry."
Qian Qianqian touched Qian Xuan's head, her eyes were full of certainty, and after speaking, she turned around and went to the kitchen, poured all the medicine she found into the medicine jar, and put it on the stove to boil.
The smell of medicine wafted out, revealing an indescribable bitterness, Qian Qianqian opened the lid, stirred it with chopsticks, and saw that the juice changed color, so she took a porcelain bowl, poured out the medicine, and sent it to Qian Yao while it was hot.
"The medicine is ready, feed him quickly."
Qian Qianqian handed the medicine bowl to Mother Qian, anyway, Mother Qian loved Qian Yao's posthumous son the most, so it was just right for Mother Qian to feed the medicine.
Qian Yao burned all over his body, and the medicine had to be scooped up with a spoon, carefully blown and cooled, and then opened Qian Yao's mouth, so that Qian Yao could swallow it slowly, and every move had to be very careful.
After half a bowl of medicine, Qian Yao suddenly reacted, rubbed in Qian's mother's arms, coughed a few times, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Brother Yao woke up, great, this medicine really has a miraculous effect." Seeing this, Qian Fen immediately became overjoyed, and clasped hands with Qian Xuan, and Qian's mother was also overjoyed.
"The doctor said that this medicine must be taken continuously for more than half a month, so let Brother Yao sleep today, and then two times tomorrow, presumably Brother Yao'er's fever will be able to subside."
Qian Qianqian explained on the side, Qian Mu then fed the remaining half bowl of medicine to Qian Yao, maybe the medicine was too bitter, Qian Yao tightened his eyebrows, his expression was painful, and he couldn't help crying.
Mother Qian immediately put down the medicine bowl, patted Qian Yao's back, and touched her body with her hand, as if she didn't touch what she wanted, so she turned her head to look at Qian Qianqian and the others: "Which of you has candied fruit on you?" ”
The three Qian Fen sisters and brothers looked at each other, all of them were distressed, they had not gone out for several days, how could there be such a thing on their bodies, besides, the Qian family was poor in the past, so they developed the habit of not eating snacks, so none of them had it.
And Qian Qianqian has now grown into a big girl, so there will be no such thing on her body, seeing that Qian Yao's crying is getting lower and lower, as if she will turn her back at any time, everyone is suddenly embarrassed.
Qian Qianqian had an idea, suddenly remembered the tomatoes picked back from the mountains, immediately turned around and walked to the kitchen, took one, broke it in half, and gave it to Qian's mother.
"What kind of fruit is this? How come I have never seen one? ”
Mother Qian looked carefully at the brightly colored thing in her hand, with a puzzled expression and a little vigilance.
The three Qian Fen sisters and brothers were also very puzzled, but they knew that Qian Qianqian always liked to make some strange things, but they were still delicious, so they no longer doubted it.
"It's the wild fruit I picked back from the mountains, sweet and sour, give Brother Yao a taste to relieve the bitterness in your mouth."
Qian Qianqian didn't say anything, this tomato was originally a rare thing in ancient times, and she didn't want to expose herself for no reason.
Qian's mother was suspicious, but she also knew that Qian Qianqian would not harm her own brother, so she stuffed the fruit in her hand into Qian Yao's mouth, Qian Yao sucked the juice, immediately stopped crying, raised her little hand, grabbed half of the fruit in Qian's mother's hand, and sucked it up.
"What the hell is this? Let Brother Yao eat so happily? ”
Qian Fen raised his head, broke into Qian Qianqian's eyes, blinked his black eyes, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, as did Qian Xuan and Qian Hui.
"It's the first time I've seen this wild fruit, but I saw its attractive color, so I picked it and tasted it a few bites, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious, so I brought some back, so I don't know what it is."
Qian Qianqian shook her head, pretending to be distressed, and Qian Yao put Qian Yao on the bed and slowly stood up.
"Isn't this thing poisonous? The old ancestor said that the more attractive the appearance of this thing, the more dangerous it is, Brother Yao is already seriously ill, if it is ......"
Qian Mu was a little uneasy, guessing to herself, Qian Qianqian laughed lightly, and interrupted Qian Mu's words.
"Don't worry, I have tested it with a silver hairpin when I was picking, this thing is not poisonous, besides, I also tasted one on the mountain, if it is poisonous, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
Qian Qianqian said very firmly, Qian's mother is a soft child, since Qian Qianqian said so, she will not continue to study further.
"I have a few fruits left in that basket, and I will cook them myself in the evening and make you a dish to taste."
Qian Qianqian smiled mysteriously, turned around after speaking, and walked straight out.
In the evening, she used the leftover tomatoes and eggs to make a dish, Qian Fen and the three of them couldn't even put down the chopsticks, Qian's mother didn't dare to eat it at first, but seeing that these children were fine after eating, she couldn't help but taste it.
"Well, it's really sweet and sour, it's very appetizing, and even this egg is different from before."
Mother Qian suddenly raised her eyes, looked at Qian Qianqian and nodded heavily, and then took some tomatoes into her bowl, not caring about anything else at all.
"I see that this fruit looks like a round eggplant grown in a vegetable garden, and the color is bright, as if it was imported from those Fanbangs outside, so it might as well be called a tomato."
Qian Qianqian explained logically, adding the name "tomato" to the fruit, and Qian Fen nodded again and again, agreeing with her words.
"It's still the eldest sister who is smart, clever, and whimsical, and even brought back such delicious things, I'm afraid those people outside haven't tasted it."
Qian Hui learned a lot of things in the school, and he even began to chew the words, and the dance text was inked, and some words were put on Qian Qianqian's head at every turn, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not.
"Okay, don't be poor, I'll dig up the tomato plants, and in a few days I will open up a small garden in the yard and plant the plants, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will bear fruit."
Qian Qianqian said that there were several tomatoes in the mountains, she dug them all up, planted a few outside, and took the rest to the space, so that the fruit would not attract suspicion.
"The eldest sister is right, after eating later, I will wash the dishes, the eldest sister is tired for a day today, so let's rest after eating."
Qian Fen was very sensible, knowing that she understood Qian Qianqian, Qian Qianqian nodded with satisfaction, raised her hand and pinched Qian Fen's face dotingly.
After dinner, Qian Qianqian went straight back to her house, and when Qian Yao's condition improved tomorrow, the neighbors around her would not embarrass their family, and then she would like to see if the eldest aunt and the third aunt had anything to say.
Coming back to her senses, Qian Qianqian opened the space and brought those goose intestine grass and tomato plants in, at this time Xiao Jiu was sleeping soundly, with a puddle of saliva dripping from his mouth, and smashing his mouth from time to time, as if he had dreamed of something delicious.
Qian Qianqian walked behind Xiao Jiu and kicked Xiao Jiu's round ass with her toes, Xiao Jiu suddenly woke up from her sleep, licked the saliva on the side of her mouth, and grinned at Qian Qianqian.
"You little girl, you haven't been in for so long, and as soon as you come in, you disturb my sweet dreams, it's really hateful."
Xiao Jiu's face was fierce, his eyes were full of anger, Qian Qianqian looked at its fleshy face, and she didn't feel jealous at all, but couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I was wrong just now, so you didn't eat meat and bones in your dream." ”
"You're still laughing, what do you want to do when you come in so late?"
Xiao Jiu glared at Qian Qianqian, looked at the back basket in her hand, and asked knowingly.
"I want to plant all these medicinal herbs and fruits, so that the herbs and fruits and vegetables in my hand are richer."
Qian Qianqian explained unabashedly, but Xiao Jiu was angry.
"Hmph, if you really have nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace, if you don't plant these, I'm afraid you'll forget about me."
Xiao Jiu stood up, hugged his two front paws around his chest, looked arrogant, and his fluffy tail swayed from side to side, as if he was trying to maintain balance.
"How so? What do you see this is? ”
Qian Qianqian took out two duck eggs from her sleeves, leaned over, and sent them to Xiao Jiu, which she secretly cooked when she was cooking dinner just now, and knew that Xiao Jiu was not easy to handle, so she had to bring some greeting gifts.
Xiao Jiu sniffed carefully, his stomach "gurgled", and he immediately succumbed to the duck eggs in Qian Qianqian's hand, put down his front paws, and opened his mouth to take the two duck eggs away.
Qian Qianqian turned around and planted goose intestine grass in the medicinal herb field, and as for the tomato, it was planted in the vegetable field, where the climate is warm all year round and suitable for the growth of various plants, so there is no need to bother to take care of it.
After so many days, there are already flocks of chickens and ducks in the space, and the wheat is also growing happily, and after a while, it is presumable that those wheat fields will be ripe.
In order to prepare for a rainy day, Qian Qianqian stored a lot of food in this space, so no matter what happened outside, as long as their family could have no worries about food and clothing.
"Xiao Jiu, I have already planted things, you have to worry more about it, take a good look at it for me, duck eggs and meat bones are indispensable to you."
Qian Qianqian wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised her hand and rubbed Xiao Jiu's head, Xiao Jiu shook her head a little irritably, and seemed to dislike her behavior very much.
"I'm the ninth master, it's just that you call me Xiaojiu, why are you still so rude to me, it's just too disrespectful to me."
Xiao Jiuyan glared at Qian Qianqian, and the hair on her body exploded.
