Chapter 193: Wild Fruits and Game
Although it was summer and there were not many wild vegetables, Yunxi still found something. A handful of flowering and fruiting wild garlic, a handful of wolfberry heads, a handful of bitter herbs, and a large handful of gray cabbage. She also found a lot of fine-leaved motherwort, which had also blossomed and borne fruit, and Yunxi planned to ask Ye Yuan to come over and pick them all home. Although it has passed the best harvest season, it is better this way, not only can you give Yunjin medicine to cure menstrual cramps, but also can add some seeds to grow your own family.
Yunxi was picking energetically, so she heard Ye Lu call her, "Yunxi come quickly, give you peaches, it's sweet." ”
And peaches now? It's been a few months, how can there be peaches, but it's almost enough to look at the wild vegetables, Yunxi clapped his hands and walked towards the camp.
As a result, there were really peaches, and Ye Yuan was happy to eat them. Yunxi took one, it tasted really good, although it was smaller than the peach, it was more sweet and juicy. "I didn't expect the peaches in the mountains to ripen so late, and the peaches under the mountain have been eaten for more than a month, right?"
Before Ye Lu could answer, he heard Zhou Han smile and said: "The brook girl can't study, this little thing is strange." ”
Yunxi: "That book will say this, sir, you can discipline me if you have nothing to do." ”
Zhou Han asked: "Why not, let me ask you, who wrote 'The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom'?" ”
"Bai Juyi's "Peach Blossoms of Dalin Temple". Yunxi answered affirmatively.
"Isn't that enough, it blooms in April, and isn't it normal to eat fruit in May and June?"
It seems that this is the case, Yunxi patted his head, and once again became anxious about his IQ. Zhou Han struck Yunxi, proudly put down the washed mushrooms, and happily nibbled on the peaches.
"Yunxi, don't be sad, give you this to eat." Ye Lu secretly stuffed something wrapped in leaves into Yunxi's hand, she opened it and looked at it, her eyes suddenly widened, the small blue-purple berries were hanging with a layer of hoarfrost, isn't this a blueberry?
"Uncle Lu, how much did you pick this there?" Yunxi asked excitedly. This is a blueberry, which has high nutritional value, can protect the eyes, enhance eyesight, enhance self-immunity, antioxidant function and anti-aging, enhance memory, and anti-cancer function. The benefits are endless, and it would be great if you could grow a piece at home and eat a handful of nothing.
"Do you like this? This isn't that tasty, is it? Ye Lu said with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't it delicious?" Yunxi picked one up and threw it into his mouth, uh, ......, it's really not delicious, although it smells fragrant, but it tastes not as sweet and sour as imagined, but with a hint of bitterness. Isn't it, wild blueberries taste like this, and wild peaches are delicious, aren't they? How did it take the turn of blueberries to taste like this.
Ye Lu smiled, "How about it, do you want to pick this?" ”
Yunxi gritted his teeth, "Pick, a lot of picking, not only to pick, but also to dig a few to take home." ”
Ye Lu said: "What are you digging it for, it's not all delicious, just eat something fresh on this mountain." ”
"No, you have to dig." Yunxi said with certainty again.
Ye Lu was helpless, turned his head and shouted Ye Yuan, "Da Lang, come on, your daughter said that she would dig a few blue persimmons and go home!" ”
"Yunxi likes to eat blue persimmons, so dig a few and go back, it won't take much effort." Ye Yuan didn't think his daughter's behavior was weird, so he came over to support Yunxi.
"It's really not very delicious, haven't you eaten it?" Ye Lu was puzzled, "And Yunxi, when you eat it, the frowning brow can kill flies, and you have to dig it home." ”
Yunxi: "This ......, but the book says that it is very good for the body, and it is very good for the eyes, I thought, whether it is reading or sewing clothes and embroidering, it is very hurtful to the eyes, if you can dig a few trees home and eat them often, wouldn't it be great?" ”
"Is that so? Dalang, I haven't read a few books, I really don't know. Ye Lu smiled, "Then let's dig more back?" ”
"No, let's pick up the delicious ones and dig up a few." Yunxi said, "Wait for the future, plant a batch of seeds with seeds, and then select good seeds from them, it won't take a few generations to get rid of this astringency." ”
Ye Lu said: "What Yunxi said seems to make a lot of sense, okay, let's do it." But now it's getting dark, so let's not talk about it, and wait until dawn tomorrow to dig again. ”
Yunxi nodded, put the blueberries in her and Ye Yuan's tent, and pulled Ye Yuan to wash wild vegetables with her, she didn't dare to go, because the camp they chose this time was a little far away from the stream, because people can't do without water, and animals can't do without water, there will be a lot of animals to come out to drink water and hunt at night, if it's too close to the water source, God knows if it will meet the big tiger and the big bad wolf again? Or a little far away from insurance.
Ye Yuan took the wild vegetables and threw them to Ye Lu, "Let Uncle Lu wash the wild vegetables, you go get your clothes, I will take you to the stream to take a bath first, otherwise it will be dark when it gets dark, you should be afraid." ”
That's right, I've been running for a day, how can I do it without taking a shower, Yunxi obediently went to the tent to get clothes. She's not afraid of being looked at, anyway, she's still a tablet now, and she still has her own father guarding her, what can be terrible.
Not only was she not afraid, but she was a little excited, saying that after living two lifetimes, this was the first time she had taken a bath in the natural water system, what a rare experience.
When he arrived at the stream, Ye Yuan first checked the surrounding grass to make sure that there was no water snake or anything like that, and then said to Yunxi, "The water is a little cold, wash it quickly and don't get cold, Dad will wait for you over there, and you will call if there is something." ”
Yunxi snorted, and couldn't wait to squat down and wash his face first, the water of the creek was very clear, the fish and shrimp in the water, and the stones at the bottom of the water were clearly visible. Although it is summer, the water of the stream is cool, and it must not be far from the spring. Yunxi couldn't help but take a small sip, it was clear and sweet, very refreshing, and it took a lot of effort to hold back and not drink the second sip, in case there were invisible parasites in it, wouldn't it be very dangerous.
Yunxi stripped off her clothes, shoes and socks, and went down to the water to wash it beautifully, at first she felt a little cold, but then she got used to it and felt very comfortable, and she didn't feel the heat of summer at all. The stream kept flowing, and the breeze in the forest was blowing, it was really a rare enjoyment, Yunxi also found a stone as a pillow, and lay down comfortably for a while, and finally reluctantly got up in Ye Yuan's anxious shout.
Dinner is very rich, mushroom stewed pheasant, mushroom stewed hare, are fresh ingredients, although Yunxi has eaten countless pheasants and hares, but still feel that this salted dinner is very good, not only smell the aroma, the meat is also very tender and delicious, but the best is not the meat, but the mushrooms, the unique flavor of the mushrooms themselves plus the fragrance of the meat, the delicious taste is simply indescribable, only have no time to describe, just want to eat one bite after another.
There is also the wild vegetables picked by Yunxi casually, boiled in the broth, it is not the same, the unique fragrance of the plants and trees is not only not covered by the rich broth, but absorbs the essence of the soup, becoming more fragrant and refreshing.
Then there is the chicken soup, which is called a delicious one, which suddenly makes people feel that it is really good to be alive, and it is even more satisfying to be able to eat such a delicious food, and there is nothing else to ask for.
