The twisted tree is a plant that bears fruit while flowering, and at this time, the flowers are decreasing and the fruits are ripe.

On the branches, a large number of purple-red and purple-black twists are hung.

The twist is like a wine glass, hidden in the branches and leaves of the mountains.

Gao Mingcheng was holding a honey shaker in one hand and two hares in the other, so he had to say to Fan Licheng: "Do you know this thing?" ”

Fan Licheng followed the direction he was pointing and looked carefully.

"It's myrtle!" Fan Licheng showed a look of surprise on his face, he had met a fruit he knew.

There are several names for this thing, called myrtle is mostly written language, daily words, different places have different ways to shout, what mountain twist, black belly, lotus, peach aunt and so on.

Gao Mingcheng said: "You go pick a little to eat, pick the purple and black pick, don't pick too much, just a small handful!" ”

"Hey, I know, I can't pull if I eat too much!" Fan Licheng excitedly stepped forward to pick the twist.

His grandparents' house is a porcelain kiln, the family's daily life, are around the porcelain kiln, what to choose porcelain clay, kneading clay embryo, glazing, firing kiln, etc., usually basically do not go to the mountains to play, his grandmother at most in their own backyard opened a few points, planting some common vegetables.

So although Fan Licheng had eaten myrtle, he bought it and ate it, and he had not personally picked it in the mountains.

No matter how precocious a child is, he is still a child, and he is always interested in picking wild fruits.

After a while, Fan Licheng picked a lot, because he couldn't hold it in his hand, he simply took Gao Mingcheng's shirt and carried it.

Gao Mingcheng was speechless.

I just said that I can't poop after eating too much, and now I'm picking one endlessly.

But he didn't stop it, sometimes eating is a pleasure, and picking is a pleasure.

After going down the mountain and returning home, Gao Mingcheng put down his things and led Fan Licheng to Xiaofu Mountain, of course, he didn't go up the mountain, but just stood at the foot of the mountain and watched.

Gao Mingcheng pointed to the orchards and introduced what kind of fruit trees they were.

Basically, he planted all the fruit trees in the local area.

However, most of them are saplings, and they are not yet ready to bear fruit, and a few older trees are not yet ripe.

For example, the local tangerines are the size of a baby's fist, but the skin is thick and the flesh is sour, and it is not yet time to eat them.

There are also chestnuts on the chestnut tree, the hairy thorns are still green, and the chestnuts inside are not yet ripe.

The chestnuts on their side ripen late, until the end of September, they will ripen one after another, and then you don't need to take a stick to beat, walk under the chestnut tree every morning, and you will be able to pick up the chestnuts that have fallen on the ground.

Some of them are after the thorn ball bursts, the chestnut falls directly to the ground, and some are dropped with the thorn ball, at this time, you need to use the sole of your shoe to step on the thorn ball and rub and squeeze it, so that the chestnut inside will come out.

Chestnuts are unharvested, and after a few days, they will have worms or be dried. So if you don't want to pick it and sell it, then you don't have to make chestnuts out of your way, pick up a small handful of them today and eat them, and pick up a small handful tomorrow, so that you can eat fresh chestnuts every day.

And chestnuts are delicious whether they are eaten raw or cooked and fried.

Gao Mingcheng also introduced the chestnut tree to Fan Licheng.

Fan Licheng looked at the cyan thorn balls hanging on the treetops and was surprised.

Naturally, he had eaten chestnuts, but he had never seen chestnuts on trees. This trip to Gaojia Village undoubtedly broadened his horizons.

That evening, when twilight fell, a hare was stewed in a large iron pot, and eggs were still simmering in the stove.

The eggs are wrapped in lotus leaves, buried in the fire, and slowly simmered, so that the hard-boiled eggs are extra fragrant and said to be more nutritious.

In addition to eggs, you can also simmer sweet potatoes, potatoes and pork kidneys in the stove.

However, now there are only eggs at home, so naturally you can only simmer eggs to eat.

While Gao Mingcheng was busy in the kitchen, Fan Licheng squatted on the steps to watch the black tiger and the elf eat.

Today I hunted two hares, one to Gao Mingcheng and one to two dogs, Gao Mingcheng disposed of the hares and threw them in front of the two dogs.

Just eaten raw, the scene is naturally a little bloody.

Fan Licheng was staring at it, and his facial features were flying wildly.

"Licheng, the eggs are cooked, come and eat!" In the kitchen, Gao Mingcheng's shout came, and Fan Licheng responded and walked to the kitchen.

Gao Mingcheng was using tongs to pull out the charred lotus leaves in the stove.

A total of four eggs were simmered, and each of them had two.

The lotus leaves are all burnt marks, but when the lotus leaves are unfolded, a unique fragrance of lotus leaves and the fragrance of eggs come to the nose, causing the stomach to make a hungry gurgling sound.

Fan Licheng was indeed very hungry, and he couldn't wait to pick up the egg and peel it, but as soon as he touched it, he quickly retracted his hand.

"Haha, slow down! I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Set aside to cool first. ”

Gao Mingcheng said so, but Fan Licheng saw that he directly picked up an egg and peeled off the shell.

After the egg is broken, the fragrance belonging to the egg is even more domineering.

Due to the uneven heating in the stove, half of the egg is simmered on the side, and the egg whites are pale yellow, but this egg is more fragrant and tastes strong.

"Uncle Gao, aren't you afraid of getting hot?" Fan Licheng asked with a tangled face.

I just said that I would eat it later!

"The heat is locked in the eggshell, and when the shell is peeled, the egg will cool quickly!" Gao Mingcheng Zhenzhen said.

Then he also smashed the shells of the two eggs belonging to Fan Licheng.

The heat that hides inside will spill out through the cracks in the eggshell.

After a while, the eggs were really not so hot, Gao Mingcheng ate them first, the eggs were not big, and he ate one in two bites.

So he continued to peel the shell and eat the eggs.

When he finished eating, Fan Licheng tried to start eating, he wrapped a green lotus leaf to insulate the heat, and then ate in small bites, the original egg white was just ready to eat, but when he ate the egg yolk, the hot feeling almost made him spit out the food in his mouth.

After swallowing it with difficulty, Fan Licheng looked at Gao Mingcheng again, and his face was full of admiration.

Uncle Gao is amazing!

After eating the two eggs, Fan Licheng not only did not relieve his hunger, but became even hungrier.

He looked at the big iron pot with his eyes, at this time Gao Mingcheng was stir-frying the stewed rabbit meat with a spatula, adding seasonings, peppers and garlic, and it would soon be out of the pot.

In addition to rabbit meat, Gao Mingcheng also fried an eggplant and a pumpkin.

When he was looking for vegetables in the vegetable field today, he saw several ripe pumpkins lying in the pumpkin vines planted on the slope, although he didn't like to eat them very much, Gao Mingcheng still picked one down.

The pumpkin they had here was a large pumpkin of the millstone, not the long strip like that was common in later generations.

Naturally, the two of them can't eat one of them, but the excess will not be wasted, because both sheep and chickens will eat it.

Even pumpkin seeds will not be wasted, they can be washed and dried, and after collecting enough pumpkin seeds, they can be fried to eat, fragrant pumpkin seeds are a snack in the memory of many rural children.

The food was served, and the smell made Fan Licheng feel even hungrier.

"Uncle Gao, you can also cook, it's amazing!" Fan Licheng praised it, and then began to eat with vegetables.

He is also easy to raise, and he doesn't have the bad problem of a rich young master, he can give him anything, but the most he eats is rabbit meat.

After eating two bowls of rice, Fan Licheng burped and said embarrassedly: "I haven't eaten so much for a long time!" ”

Gao Mingcheng smiled, he felt that Fan Licheng, a little kid, must be very hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten so much.

You know, although he can cook, he really doesn't have any skills to speak of, at most he cooks the food.

So when he was at home, most of them were a lot of beautiful cooking, and he just helped to do it.

It is not advisable to exercise after eating, nor to take a shower right away, but it is not enough to be idle.

Gao Mingcheng took out a few ten-pound plastic bottles from the room and prepared to fill them with honey.

He doesn't have the tools to filter it, but the residue of the honey has settled after sitting for so long, and he just needs to scoop the top honey into the bottle with a small cup.

The mouth of the bottle is not big, ordinary people have to use a funnel, but Gao Mingcheng is not, he seems to be training his control, just scooping into the bottle cup after cup.

Fan Licheng sat on the small bench next to him and watched this scene in amazement.

But he soon remembered an article in a Chinese textbook.

It was a story about an oil seller, and at the end the oil seller said, "Only Shuer!" ”

But despite this, it is also a skill that is difficult for others to achieve.

Gao Mingcheng's hands are steady, and his speed is also fast, and it doesn't take long to fill a bottle.

Then another bottle was filled, and the rest of the honey with a small amount of residue was filled in a canned bottle.

This kind of honey with a small amount of residue is either eaten by himself or given to his parents, fine grandmother, Zhang Chengyuan and others.

It's all my own family, and I won't dislike it.

Gao Mingcheng pointed to one of the bottles and said, "This bottle of honey is for you, you can drink it slowly!" ”

Fan Licheng's eyes widened when he looked at such a large bottle of honey, and his eyes were full of joy.

He did like to eat honey, but he preferred the honey given by Uncle Gao.

It gave him a sense of being cared for.

"Uncle Gao, thank you, it's too much, you can just send me a small bottle! If you send so much, I'm sure I'm going to share it with someone else. ”

Fan Licheng politely refused such a large bottle of honey and took the initiative to ask for a small bottle.

If it's a small bottle, then he can keep it for himself, but if it's a large bottle, he will definitely have to share it with his family.

Gao Mingcheng said: "If the vial is also divided into water for everyone to drink, won't you be able to eat much?" You also know what state you are in at home, and you will refuse? ”

Fan Licheng was silent, he knew that he would not refuse.

Because he gave the family the impression that he was very talkative and never took the initiative to fight for anything, even so, several aunts would say sour things about him in private.

Think he's fake and generous.
