Discover chestnuts
After eating the honey and wild fruits, I rested for a while. Several people decided to go out. Although the valley is very beautiful, it is so quiet that several people are a little uncomfortable. Meng Saburo looked at the things and almost picked them. So he said, "Eun, let's tidy up our things and go out, and now there is nothing to do, you can go out to find the big brother and them."
I still go out in the order I came in, and when I came in, I was curious about what was inside the cave, so I walked faster, but now when I come out, it will be slower. Walking slowly.
After a long period of dark groping, it finally came out. Although there are a few small torches, I am still not used to it. When they were all outside, several people breathed a sigh of relief. The cave is too dark in real time, and the courage is relatively small, and no one dares to enter. At that time, I didn't know how Monzaburo discovered this small valley.
Meng Saburo watched them all come out and covered the hole with withered grass again. He said to a few people, "Don't tell anyone else, or we won't have any honey to eat, you know?" ”
Several people immediately turned their heads to show that they understood.
Meng Saburo held Meng Xin's hand, Meng Ziqi and Meng Shilang also held hands, and they should pay attention to safety on the mountain to prevent getting lost, they all held hands in pairs. This is what Wu said to a few small people when he first entered the mountain.
"Oops, the hairball ball pierced my foot, help" Suddenly Mengzi Qiwei shouted, Meng Saburo pulled Meng Xin over, only to see that Meng Shilang calmly picked up the hairball with his hand and threw it away. "What a fuss, this isn't the little furball we used to play!"
"Oh, little uncle, it's not a little boring to see us walking, so just play with it, and you won't cooperate with me!"
Meng Xin stared at the hairball, and always felt that this thorn ball was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember it. While walking, several people played with furballs. The fruit in one of the hairballs fell out.
At this time, Meng Xin remembered, isn't this the chestnut we used to eat?
"Third brother, three, stop for a while, stop for a moment."
Meng Sange slowed down his walking pace and asked, "What's wrong?" We're going to hurry up and go to the big brothers. ”
"Third brother, third brother, I know what this furball is. This thing is edible! Meng Xin said in a hurry and excited.
Meng Ziqi said, "Little aunt, you are stupid, how to eat this hairball, you are panicked"
Meng Xindao, "Eh, you're stupid." Did you know that the fruit inside this hairball is edible? I once saw a picture of this fruit in Daddy's book, and the contents of the hairball are the same as the flour we eat now, and it is very delicious. ”
Several people were very surprised when they heard it, because there are many such trees in the mountains. So far, I haven't heard that the fruit inside can be eaten, and if it can be eaten, then how much was wasted before. Meng Saburo feels a pity when he thinks about it.
Everyone is skeptical about what Meng Xin said, although Meng Xin has been learning to read and write recently, and he always goes to Meng Laopa's study, but because no one has eaten this thing for decades, several people are skeptical.
Meng Xin didn't believe a few people, so he said, we can take one and try it first, anyway, it's all by the way, why not try it, and there is no loss. 、
On the contrary, if it is the same as I said, then don't we have another thing to eat? When Meng Saburo heard what Meng Xin said, he thought about it. There's nothing to lose anyway. So he said to Meng Xin, "Hey, you still know the loss." Do you know what it means to lose? He stopped as he spoke.
In order to see what the fruit was like, several people first checked the hairballs that had fallen from the ground. Most of the hairballs that fell off are open, and you can see the fruit inside. Take out the fruit in the hairball, and then look at Meng Xindao, how to eat this. "We can wash it and bite into it, but because it's not cooked, it probably won't taste too good."
Monzaburo picked up the bamboo tube he had brought from home and rinsed the chestnuts he had picked with water. Then he said to a few people, don't eat it first, I'll try it first, and there will be a problem later, you guys guard me, Shiro go and call the adult, you know?
Looking at Meng Saburo's arrangement, I felt a little funny. But I can also feel that the third brother cares about a few small ones. Monshiro said, "Eun, okay. Third Brother"
Meng Saburo bit the chestnut hard and was surprised to find that the flesh inside was yellow. So I carefully took it out and tasted it little by little. It has the aroma of fruit and is a little sweet, so it should be something that fills your stomach. However, it is not known whether it is poisonous or not.
After waiting for a while, I didn't have any adverse reactions. It looks like it should be edible, but don't eat it yet, let's pick some and take it home, and try it for the chickens at home when the time comes.
A few people heard it and thought it was reasonable, so they sorted out the contents of the basket and left it empty. Picked a basket of hairballs. Meng Saburo said, "It's almost, we can go back to the eldest brother and them, otherwise they will worry about us, if this is really edible, we will go up the mountain to pick it tomorrow"
Carrying the basket on his back, a few hands in hand, went to find Daddy Meng and them.
