"What's not a lemon?"

Qin Fengyi picked up a round cyan fruit on the ground, there were many such fruits on the ground, after the typhoon and rainstorm, these fruits were buried deep in the mud and sand, "This is a walnut!"

"Walnuts??"

Most people have eaten walnuts, but they are sun-dried walnuts, which have not been peeled, and the walnuts that grow on the tree have a peel and a layer of pulp.

Unlike other fruits, walnuts have very little pulp and a lower moisture content, and their value lies in the kernels inside the seeds.

There is more than one walnut tree here, but there are only two trees that actually grow walnuts, and the rest may be too old to bear fruit.

"How do you look at this, it looks like a lemon?" Lin Qingxue took the turquoise fruit and sniffed it, "But this smell is really different from lime." ”

"I've never seen walnuts growing on trees, it's not what I imagined. Teacher Han, an authentic urban child, said that he had never seen walnuts before.

The city is not better than the countryside, Qin Fengyi's hometown is very poor, only relying on the mountains, it takes less than 1 minute to go out into the mountains, there are many fruit trees planted in the plantations on the mountain, such as apples, peaches, walnuts, red dates, etc., he often organized his friends to steal other people's fruits when he was a child.

I once had an impressive impression of being chased by a big wolf dog in the orchard with a little friend running all over the garden, and finally fell into the thorn pile in a panic, and rolled several times in the thorny pile full of sharp thorns, and the big wolf dog who chased people was in pain when he saw it.

"That's what walnuts are. Qin Fengyi took a walnut and quickly cut it with a saber, "There is a walnut tree in front of my grandfather's grave, I didn't know the walnut growing on the tree before I was 10 years old, I only knew that this thing can't be gnawed, it's too jerky and fades. ”

"I'll go! This is really a walnut!" Lin Qingxue took the blue-green walnut handed over by Qin Fengyi, this fruit was cut in half, revealing the yellow husk, "But this walnut has faded." ”

Lin Qingxue's fingers were stained with yellow-green color, and walnut peel can be said to be a natural dye that can be used to dye cloth.

"We can pick some walnuts and go back, and then make some chopped walnuts and sprinkle them with walnut powder when grilling, which should be more fragrant than sesame seeds. "Compared with the civilized world, the seasoning in the shelter is not a star and a half, Lin Qingxue's idea is good, walnut powder is indeed a very delicious seasoning.

"Not only that, but you can also squeeze some walnut oil!" Han Xuening looked at the scattered walnuts on the ground, and then looked at the ones on the trees, "With so many walnuts, you can definitely squeeze out a lot of vegetable oil." ”

"It's pretty good to squeeze oil, and I can make a simple oil filter out of metal. Qin Fengyi thought about this and conceived the operation of oil extraction, and now this condition cannot use the principle of pressing to make an oil press, but it can be a simple oil filter, the walnut kernels are simply blanched, and then crushed, more or less some walnut oil can be obtained.

Before picking walnuts, you have to open a few walnuts to see if they meet the requirements, and in the process of walnut growth, the kernel is in a liquid state at first, and it will become solid when it is ripe.

Qin Fengyi used a seedling knife to open two walnuts on one side, these two walnuts were different in size, and they both fell from the tree after being destroyed by the storm.

"Why is this walnut like this?" Lin Qingxue took the smaller walnut, and after the shell was broken, there was a layer of yellow-white peel wrapped inside, which was full of some liquid like lychee, translucent, like glue, and basically a semi-solid in the form of liquid.

"It's not ripe yet, in fact, as long as it is left in the sun for a period of time, it can quickly ripen and become the walnut we are familiar with. Qin Fengyi was holding another walnut that had been smashed open, and the shell was also yellow and white tender skin, and inside was white and tender flesh.

"Can we collect it?" Han Xuening has been collecting nearby vines since just now, these vines are about 3 mm in diameter, full of toughness, and can reach 60 degrees to bend without breaking, the beautiful teacher is not very good at weaving, but Lin Qingxue is very good at it, the small baskets woven by the sister are all presentable, and they can be used to make baskets for walnuts.

"You can collect it, there are too few walnuts on the ground, I'll go up the tree." Qin Fengyi looked at the walnuts on the two trees, there were about 400 of them, in fact, there was no need to light them all at once, you could first collect the walnuts from the south, these walnuts that had been exposed to the sun for a long time, bet on growing big, and most of the big walnuts formed substantial kernels, not the kind that were similar to gelatin.

Qin Fengyi quickly went up the tree, Lin Qingxue was weaving rattan baskets under the tree, and he came out too quickly today, he didn't bring a few schoolbags in the shelter, and the tools for loading walnuts could only be made on the spot.

Han Xuening, Wangcai and Yayale checked the walnuts on the ground, Wangcai's efficiency in checking walnuts was not as good as Han Xuening's, but it was definitely far superior to the clumsy crocodile, this guy was very clumsy, and sometimes the walnuts embedded in the soil couldn't be picked up in 5 bites.

Primates are able to be more dexterous than beasts because they have not fangs and claws, but because they can move their palms.

"Qin Fengyi, let's see if there are any snakes on the trees first!" Lin Qingxue has a psychological shadow on the poisonous snakes that fall from the sky, in the dense jungle, there may be no snakes on the ground, but you can't guarantee that there are no snakes on the trunk and leaves above your head.

"Don't worry, I've seen it a long time ago, there are no snakes!" Qin Fengyi quickly collected walnuts, this time there were probably hundreds, and the number had reached the standard.

Just as I was picking the last walnut, I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my wrist like a needle pricking fire.

"Ah~~!"

At the same time, Lin Qingxue, who was checking the walnuts under the tree, also let out a painful scream, she covered her neck, as if she had been bitten by something.

"Lin Qingxue, do you feel it too?" Qin Fengyi covered his wrist, the stinging pain continued, his skin burned like fire, and his entire wrist was unconsciously protruding, as if it was swollen.

"My neck...... It hurts. Lin Qingxue was hit in the neck.

"It's not a snake, it's a caterpillar!" Han Xuening saw a huge caterpillar wriggling on the ground, this guy had colorful hairs on his body, and he was really disgusting when he squirmed.

The next moment, the caterpillar was cut into two pieces by Qin Fengyi, and he looked at Lin Qingxue's neck with concern, and there was a large cloud-like red bump on his white neck.

"It doesn't matter if you are swept by a caterpillar, I have a way, don't be afraid, come with me first!" Qin Fengyi took Lin Qingxue's little hand and came to a place with stagnant water, "There are many ways to remove the fine thorns of caterpillars, transparent glue is a way, you can also roast by fire, apply the thin mud to the wound and wait until the thin mud dries, remove the large pieces of mud whole, and you can also bring the fine thorns down." ”

"Well, it's cool when you apply the mud, so comfortable. Lin Qingxue lowered her head and quietly enjoyed Qin Fengyi's gentle massage.

"It's really rude to interrupt you at this time, but I still want to say that you look ahead. Han Xuening pointed to the front of the jungle, where there was a building entwined with vines, with a black and white sign on it that read some English.

The architecture of modern human civilization!
