Chapter 693: Foodie Attributes
The children got permission, and all of them ran out at once.
There is a small river ditch opposite the gate of Xu's house, formed by the spring water flowing down from the mountain.
The small ditch is not too big, and adults can take a big step to cross it, and the water is not too deep.
A few small ones squatted on the stones by the ditch, stretching out their hands to play with the river.
"Brother, look, there are small shrimp in here, so small. Quick, help me catch it. ”
Xu Haiqing pointed to the clear river and exclaimed.
Xu Haiyuan came over and squatted down to take a closer look, and sure enough, in the crack of the stone, several transparent small river shrimp were swimming in the water.
"It's such a small thing, why are you catching it? Eat? ”
His younger brother is a foodie, but such a small shrimp is not enough to stuff his teeth, is it a bit excessive?
"Brother, even if I love to eat again, I can't eat such a small thing, right? It's just fun to watch. ”
Xu Haiqing pouted, who did he think he was?
How can he eat such small shrimp, and just a few of them?
The conversation between the two brothers made everyone laugh.
"Let's go up that hill, didn't we say there were chestnut trees over there?
We don't have this thing there, let's go see what it looks like. Xu Haibo pointed to the forest in the distance and said.
Indeed, there is no such thing as chestnut in Fusong Realm.
Everyone usually eats chestnuts, but the chestnut tree has never been seen, so they are all interested, and they go to the other side of the mountain.
The mountain at this end is different from the mountain at home.
The mountain at home is big, and there are mountains that stretch for dozens of miles, so most of the mountains are flat and the slopes are relatively gentle.
The mountains here are small, and they are quite steep one by one.
And this Shijiagou deserves to be called this name, and the mountain is full of stones.
Even in the fields, you can see a lot of stones.
The crops in that field should be quite tall at this time, and the growth of the crops here is very ordinary, and at first glance, the soil fertility is not enough.
"No wonder our master said that when shoveling the ground on this side of Shijiagou, this mountain shoveling the ground can be heard by that mountain.
Look at the mountains full of stones.
This crop is far worse than ours.
I don't know why my ancestors stayed in such a place?
Since they have all broken into the northeast, why don't they go north anymore? Xu Haitao was chattering there as he walked.
The children have heard from their families that where is the ancestor of the old Xu family and why they moved here.
Why did you choose such a place? Everyone didn't understand.
"Second brother, when the Qilu people broke into the eastern part of the country, one was by land, that is, through the Shanhaiguan Pass to go outside the pass, and the other was by boat from the sea.
Generally speaking, if the wind is smooth, it will be a day and a night.
Most of the way by sea is to Dalian and Yingkou. ”
Xu Jinping has read the relevant information and knows a little about this.
"At that time, the boats were not like the big boats now, they were all ordinary small fishing boats and the like.
If you catch the wind and water, you can float to the right place, but if you catch the wind in the wrong direction, you may not know where to drift, and some of them can drift to the Sea of Japan.
It's good to drift to where you can go ashore, but I don't know how many people die directly in the sea. ”
The sea is unpredictable, and no one can say this kind of thing.
"Our ancestors fished, why did they come over? It must be a boat ride.
It's not something they can control if they drift this way by boat, and they can drift wherever they go.
Maybe the people of our ancestors drifted to the vicinity of Dandong.
Then I found a random place to settle down, and I felt that I could still live a better life than before.
So who's going to keep going? ”
Liao Province is the first stop for Qilu people to break into the eastern part of the country, but as long as they can gain a foothold here to make a living, no one wants to go north.
Further north, the mountains are high and the forests are dense with wild beasts, which is too dangerous.
Although Shijiagou is not very rich, the population is small, and the natural resources of that year are estimated to be rich enough.
In front of it is the Xiaoya River, which is actually quite good by the mountains and rivers.
The agrarian society is self-sufficient, and it is quite good to have such a piece of mountain and forest land.
Don't look at Xu Haitao is several years older than Xu Jinping, but if you talk about the ink in your stomach, if you tie the three together, you can't catch up with Xu Jinping.
Xu Haitao rolled his eyes helplessly, "Yes, I can't tell you, you are reasonable." ”
The people next to him listened to the conversation between the brother and sister, and they all held back a smile.
The whole family knows that Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping, the two demons, love to read, and they have a knowledge of everything.
If anyone argues with them, they will not lose badly?
Xu Haitao is considered to be acquainted, if he continues, he will provoke the brother and sister to go together.
It is estimated that everyone else is tied together, and it may not be possible to say that the two of them.
The lower the hill is cultivated land, and the further up you go is the forest, with some pear trees and a little hawthorn tree.
At this time, the fruit on the pear tree had not yet grown, and the hawthorn was also green and fruity, and it was not much bigger.
There is no hawthorn on the Fusong side, only the mountain red, and the children compared it and found that the two plants are still a little different.
"Alas, it's a pity, it would be nice if it came in autumn, and you could climb trees and pick pears.
Didn't grandma say that the pears in my hometown are delicious?
It is said that when the pears are picked in autumn, someone has to use a sheet to pick them up, otherwise the pears will break when they are touched. ”
Xu Haiqing looked at the still green fruits on the pear tree and sucked his saliva.
He really wanted to taste what his grandmother said about the sharp sour, flat-top incense, flower cover pear, perfume pear.
Also, grandma said that frozen pears are actually a special variety, so they are called frozen pears.
That kind of pear can't be eaten in autumn, it's sour and astringent, and it's not delicious at all.
Waiting for the winter to freeze, the pear flesh is snow-white and delicate, and the pear juice is sweet and sour, which is delicious.
Xu Haiqing especially wanted to know, how delicious are that frozen pears?
What is the difference between the frozen pears and the common apple pears or flower cover pears?
"Then wait for the fall, you ask our dad to take you back again.
What else should I do? You can't stay here until autumn either. ”
Xu Jinping turned her head to look at her younger brother, this foodie didn't have anything in his head, so he was worried about eating.
This ability, served.
"Sister, I have to go to elementary school in the fall.
Besides, how busy are our parents in the fall, do they have the time to bring me back?
Cut, if I dare to say it, I'll have to let them beat their butts into eight pieces. ”
Xu Haiqing touched his ass and muttered with a frightened face.
Does his sister think he's stupid? He loves to eat, but he has brains and is not stupid.
"And what do you have to say? You're here to eat, huh? Xu Jinping glanced at her brother and snorted.
Xu Haiqing just wanted to say something more, when he heard the brothers in front of him shouting.
"Come and see, what is this? Why are you covered in thorns? Is this fruit?
How can you eat the fruit of a thorn? ”
When Xu Haiqing heard this, he didn't care about arguing with his sister anymore, so he pulled his legs and ran forward.
On the hillside in front of us, there is a tree that no one has ever seen.
There were thorns on the tree, and there were many green hairballs, and the hairballs were covered with thorns. What is this?
"This should be the chestnut that the eldest lady said, right? I've seen it in books, and it's said that chestnuts are full of thorns. ”
The big guys have never seen chestnuts on the trees, so they can only guess roughly.
