340 oranges, persimmons
Is this the white fog that comes out of the canyon in winter? Jiang Li thought about reaching into the pool and found that the water was cold and seeping.
If it's not a hot spring, where does the white fog at the bottom of the valley come from?
Heiba and Da Liang took off their clothes and trousers, jumped into the shallow pool below the deep pool, found the water cold and biting, scrubbed it three or two times, and climbed ashore.
Jiang Li walked around and looked around, but he didn't find a hot spring, and it was enough for everyone to cool off under the waterfall. With the black ba, they continued on their way. Until dark, I didn't find a satisfactory food seed.
The next day, everyone gathered up the basket full of jerky and began to return to the tribe.
Two days later, Yao Xiaoqing saw the seeds that Jiang Li had brought back, "It looks a bit like sorghum, but it's a little bit different." Is it because it hasn't evolved yet? ”
Jiang Li saw her frowning and thinking hard, and pulled her into the house, "Xiaoqing, let me draw it for you, its plants are a bit like millet grains, but they are taller than corn grains, and the stems are thicker than corn grains, a bit like white thatched poles." ”
Yao Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Li's painting, and she couldn't figure out whether this spike-like plant was red sorghum?
"Don't worry." Jiang Li smiled and pulled her to the chair, sat down, and said softly, "I looked around the bottom of the valley, but I didn't find any rice." Next year, let's go out and find out together. ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "I originally planned to go out to find rice this year, but the weather was not right, so it was delayed." ”
Jiang Li looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "I'll accompany you next year to escort you." ”
"Hmm!" Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Let's take the seeds upstairs and dry them, plant them next year, and you can know the true face of Lushan after a few selections." ”
"Okay, I'll go get the dustpan." Jiang left the warehouse and took two dustpans, dried the seeds with Yao Xiaoqing, thought about it and asked, "Xiaoqing, are you going to go into the mountains to collect medicine?" I'll go with you. Let's go into the mountains to collect some fruit and come back to make preserves. ”
"Good! The two persimmon trees in the orchard have produced more than a dozen persimmons this year. Let's go into the mountains and find some persimmons to come back and make persimmons. ”
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Let's go to the orchard and have a look." ”
"Okay!" The two went to the orchard together.
The orchard already has jujube trees, pear trees, persimmon trees, orange trees, hawthorns, and some fruit trees that neither of them knows.
Yao Xiaoqing walked to a few fruit trees with many thin branches, and found more than a dozen fruits on them that looked similar to jujubes.
She tasted one, the taste was crisp and sweet, "Jiang Li, do you know this fruit?" It tastes pretty good. ”
"I'll see." Jiang Li picked it up and looked at it, and tasted two, "It's a bit like the wild dates that those people sell." ”
Yao Xiaoqing pulled a few times, and picked a dozen in total, "It's too little, if there are more, you can pick them back to make sugar gourds." ”
Seeing her wrinkling her nose, Jiang Li smiled and pinched her nose, "I haven't seen anywhere there are wild dates, I know that there is a forest with a lot of persimmon trees, and I will take you into the mountains tomorrow morning to pick persimmons to make persimmons." ”
"Okay, let's go into the mountains tomorrow morning." Yao Xiaoqing nodded in response.
The next day, the two took Heiba and Ah Qi up the mountain.
On an autumn morning, the sky was already cool, and the mountains were already a bleak scene, and the scorched leaves were blown by the wind and swirled and fell to the ground.
The ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, as if stepping on a thick carpet.
Yao Xiaoqing and Ah Que collected herbs along the road, and Jiang Li also knew some herbs that repellent snakes and stop bleeding and reduce swelling. Before they reached the persimmon forest that Jiang Li said, Heiba and Jiang Li's back baskets were already full of herbs.
The four of them also found some orange trees in the forest, which were full of red and bright oranges, and the sight made the mouth water.
Heiba avoided the thorns in the tree, climbed up and picked a few, and handed them to Yao Xiaoqing and Ah Qi.
Yao Xiaoqing peeled off the big red orange peel, broke it open and handed it to Jiang Li, "Taste it, is it sweet?" ”
Jiang Li took it and ate it, looking at the three of them, "Hmm! It's pretty sweet. ”
Heiba hurriedly stuffed one in, "Ah! Bah! Bah! It's sour, it's sour! ”
Ah Qi looked at the black and sour grinning teeth, and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
Heiba looked at Jiang Li with a sad face, "Chief, you are too bad. ”
Jiang Li knocked him on the head with a smile, "Don't blame others for it, look at Xiaoqing and Ah Qi, why didn't they eat!" ”
Yao Xiaoqing glared at Jiang Li with disgust, "This should be a red orange, suitable for tangerine peel, and it tastes better if you put some stewed mutton." ”
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, and pulled the black bar up the tree to pick oranges. The oranges were too sour for anyone to eat, so the two picked them and threw them down.
Ah Que picked up the oranges and piled them together, "Xiaoqing, I smell the smell of oranges, and I want to swallow my saliva." ”
"I'm better than you!" Yao Xiaoqing found a stone to sit on, and began to peel the orange peel, swallowing saliva while peeling, "Find yourself!" ”
Jiang Li came down from the tree, "Xiaoqing, there is a stream over there, I'll go catch a few pheasants, and the hare will be roasted and eaten." ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "You go and come back quickly." ”
"Okay." Jiang Li walked away with a bow and arrow.
When Heiba and Ah Qi helped to finish peeling the orange peel, Jiang Li came back with two hares and three pheasants.
The four of them went to the creek and lit a fire for a barbecue.
After eating and drinking, I went to the persimmon forest.
I saw the persimmon tree in the forest, the trunk was thick and large. At a glance, there are at least 100 persimmon trees that I don't know how many years have grown, and I see that the trees are full of yellow persimmons, one by one hanging on the trees like small yellow lanterns.
Yao Xiaoqing said: "Jiang Li, we should call all of them." ”
"Let's take it back first, and let Heiba bring them tomorrow." Jiang Li didn't expect that in such weather, he could still produce so many persimmons.
Yao Xiaoqing and Ah Que stood under the tree to pick those persimmons that they could reach, and the persimmons they found were pecked by birds, leaving holes.
"Xiaoqing, this kind of fruit is only delicious if it is soft, and it is uncomfortable to eat it hard." Ah Que said and picked up one, "The fruit that the bird has eaten is sweeter than the one that has not been eaten." ”
"I can't eat it." Yao Xiaoqing stopped her, "Birds and finches eat everything, if it just pecks insects before it pecks persimmons, it will be poisonous and troublesome." ”
Ah Que took the persimmon, made up for the situation of the bird holding a long worm in his brain, shivered, and looked at her resentfully, "Xiaoqing, I don't dare to eat what you said." ”
Yao Xiaoqing looked at her wrinkled bitter gourd face, and laughed secretly, "It's okay if you don't dare to eat it, quickly find those hard fruits with bright fruits to pick, and I'll cover your persimmons to make persimmons to eat when I go back." ”
Ah Que happily responded, climbed the tree and stepped on the trunk and shook, and the persimmons fell like hail.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the monkey-like Ah Que and shook his head with a smile.
Jiang Li came down from the tree with a basket, "Xiaoqing, it's almost over, let Heiba bring someone to pick it tomorrow." ”
