The next day, the four of them did not go to carry water, but took the sack on their backs to the ravine where Qin Xi and Tang Ying went yesterday.

On the chestnut tree, the dozen or so chestnuts hanging on the chestnut tree were also knocked down, and the speed was very fast, and the four of them only stayed under the chestnut tree for a few minutes before leaving.

It was very dark today, and the four of them decided to go to the left, where it would be brighter.

After walking more than ten meters, I found a jujube tree, but at this time, the leaves of the jujube tree were almost gone, only a few leaves were left, and the bare trunk looked very ugly.

The four of them originally planned to look here to see if they could find some dried dates, but as soon as Qin Jiang looked up, he saw the big tree in front of him with red things hanging on it.

"Look, isn't that a persimmon tree?"

The four of them don't plan to stay here either, after all, the dates are not like chestnuts, they are protected by a hard shell, and when the dates are on the tree, they are eaten by birds and insects and fall to the ground, not to mention that.

The persimmon tree, it seemed that it was not far away, but it took them more than ten minutes to walk, and it took them more than ten minutes to get there.

"Whew. It's really a persimmon tree, big enough! ”

Most of the persimmons hanging at the bottom are still very hard, and the skin of the persimmons has a slight green color.

As for the top of the tree and the outer layer of the canopy, the sunny, well-developed persimmons are already red and ripe, and at the same time, their sweet smell has attracted the favor of birds.

The small sweet fruits ripened on the trees basically cannot escape the pecking of birds, and the fruits that have been eaten by birds must be sweet, moist and delicious.

There are also some under the trees, which are all overripe, plus the birds have eaten and fallen on the ground, directly mixed with the dead leaves and mud on the ground, a dry mess, inseparable.

"This persimmon tree is not small!" Tang Ying looked at the persimmon tree that was six or seven meters high, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

This place, within a radius of ten miles, is deserted, if it is not far from the village, it is not their turn to come here to pick, and the children of the village have already been troubled.

Because it is a wild persimmon tree, naturally no one will thin the branches when they are small, so it is easy to climb very, criss-crossing thick branches, and they will go up when they step on it.

What they like the most is not the soft and fully ripe red persimmons, but the hard persimmons with a little greenness.

This kind of persimmon is resistant to dropping, so you don't have to worry about being crushed on the way back.

Qin Jiang He Yuan and Tang Ying all went up to the tree, but Qin Xi didn't go up, but below, picked the persimmons that he could reach and put them in the back basket.

As for the sack, Qin Jiang took it to the tree, on the tree, it is very inconvenient to pick persimmons with a basket on his back, the sack is different, just find a fork and put it, it will be stable, sometimes it is inconvenient, and it can be hung on the tree.

The persimmons on this big tree are enough for them to fill the two baskets they brought, and the specific situation will not be known until they are finished.

Qin Xi is below, it is the most relaxed, you only need to put the back basket away, or stand or squat to pick the fruit hanging on the persimmon branch that hangs down.

This persimmon tree is infested with insects, a small one, which looks like a miniature version of a grasshopper, but the bite hurts and itchy.

However, at present, these small problems have been directly ignored.

Qin Xi and Qin Jiang are okay, there are still three or four hundred catties of grain at home, Tang Ying and He Yuan are different, they buy less grain on the black market, there are only more than 100 catties of grain left at home, and they can only barely survive the winter, maybe they will run out of food in February and March next year, these persimmons are very important to them, after all, many places eat persimmons as food.

Tang Ying stepped on a branch, pinned another branch with her hand, and picked persimmons with only one hand.

In the past, she was cautious when she stood at the end of this kind of branch, for fear that the branch would suddenly break and fall, but this time, she was not afraid.

One is that the persimmon in front of her is too tempting, enough for her to take risks, and the other is that she is not standing tall, just over two meters, this height, for her, is a small meaning, even if she accidentally falls, nothing will happen.

All four of them were busy picking persimmons, and although there was no communication, a good mood was always with them.

This persimmon tree is very large, the four of them also picked the top, it has been red, pinched up very soft persimmons to eat, although some have been pecked by birds, but they are very happy to eat, persimmons are sweet, just like their mood at this moment.

"Qin Xi, come, this must be delicious, the birds have eaten half of it." Tang Ying climbed down in two by two and handed the persimmon to Qin Xi, who had never been on the tree.

Qin Xi was not polite, after peeling off the outer skin, he ate it directly, it was soft and glutinous and sweet, no one could refuse such a persimmon.

This kind of fruit, which is very common in later generations, is quite rare now, and it is naturally impossible to eat it if you want to, even if you go to the villagers to buy some, some people say that they will not live, and it is very annoying.

"How? It's delicious! "This is a special choice she has made, and the color is very sweet at first glance.

"It's delicious, it's sweet." After Qin Xi finished eating the persimmons, he took out the bamboo tube and drank a saliva.

You can't eat too much persimmons, not to mention that eating too much is easy to get angry, and it is easy to cause indigestion in the stomach, oh, by the way, people with stones should eat less persimmons.

After a simple rest, the four of them all went up the tree, but Qin Xi was less courageous, and more to provide auxiliary services for her brother, such as bringing the persimmons he picked to the bottom.

In short, by ten o'clock in the afternoon, the persimmons had already been picked by them.

Tang Ying and He Yuan picked a sack full of sacks, plus a basket of persimmons, and the ones that were ripe and soft were placed on the top of the basket, so that they were not easy to crush.

Qinjiang Qinxi's is less, but it is also very limited, in short, the harvest of both sides is about the same, and it is maintained within a balance, after all, Qinjiang's speed of picking persimmons is not covered.

"Shall we go back next, or shall we continue on our way?" Tang Ying sat on the sack and asked.

The persimmons in the sack are all hard and need to be left for a while until they soften before they can be eaten.

Of course, you can also choose to peel and dry persimmons, but there is no weather now, and we will see in a few days.

"Let's go ahead! If there is nothing in front of you, you won't use it here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you will go straight to the right. Qin Xi made a choice.

In the next journey, it is naturally good to have surprises, but no, and I am not disappointed, after all, there are too many persimmons they picked today, and their brothers and sisters, all of them add up, there must be more than 100 catties, Tang Ying and He Yuan's persimmons, compared with them, only a lot more.
