Chapter 78 Wild Sweet Potatoes and Chestnuts

Chapter 78 Wild Sweet Potatoes and Trichosanthes

"These are all minor problems. You don't have to worry about them. Anyway, they just allow you to beat Shen Dabao to pieces!"

"Oh!" Shen Shuan nodded in disbelief,

"You do not trust me?"

"Believe!" Shen Shuan's eyes flashed with struggle, and then he said firmly,

As long as his sister-in-law says it, he will believe it!

Anyway, even if he uses the moves taught by his sister-in-law, the worst he can do if he loses is to be beaten again by Shen Dabao! He is a boy, so it doesn’t matter! Anyway, even if he is injured, he will be taken care of.

When the time comes, his second sister will become a doctor, and she will be good soon!

"But Shen Dabao also gave food to the children in the village! What should I do? I don't want to give our things away, otherwise if someone sees them, they will definitely miss our good things! Just the few in our village Rich households, there are often some second-rate people in the village who come into their homes. I don’t want such people to climb on the walls of our house, so the good things in the house must not be taken out!"

Jiang Ci couldn't help laughing when he heard the childish words,

This seven or eight-year-old little carrot head has a lot to think about!

You actually know how to prepare for a rainy day!

But this also reminded Jiang Ci that their house is somewhat eye-catching in this village. If someone is really interested in it, it will be okay if she is at home by then. If she is not at home, it may be given to her family. It has brought about catastrophe.

She had to wait until her injuries healed and then set a few traps for easy access places in her home.

Of course it's best if it doesn't work, but if someone really dares to put his hand into their home, that person will definitely suffer a big loss.

"Isn't it easy to eat? We have mountains at our backs, pheasants, hares, roe deer, small fish, shrimps, mountain crabs. Isn't there a lot to eat? But you are a child after all, so we can't have such high demands on you! Come on, my sister-in-law will teach you how to find food in the mountains."

"Besides wild vegetables, is there anything else that children can eat in the mountains?"

"Of course!" Jiang Ci said with a lively look on his face.

The two people walked side by side to the foot of the mountain. After walking a few steps, Jiang Ci squatted in front of a green plant. Rows of small red fruits could still be vaguely seen under the green plant.

"Sister-in-law, why are you staring at this grass? This grass is so annoying when it grows in crops, and its fruit is dry and full of bugs. It's disgusting!"

Shen Shuan said this while making a disgusting expression in cooperation.

"Really?" Jiang Ci looked at Shen Shuan and gave it a try.

And Shen Shuan answered very quickly:

"Of course it's true. My mother and I saw a lot of this fruit when we were weeding the fields at our old house. We had to get it far away from the fields every time, otherwise as long as there was a chance, this fruit would Things will grow in the ground again!”

But Jiang Ci ignored Shen Shuan's obstruction and picked a small red fruit from the green plant vine.

Split the fruit in the middle, and a rich fragrance suddenly filled Shen Shuan's nose.

Shen Shuan's words of dissuasion suddenly stopped and he stared at the fruit in Jiang Ci's hand, as if he was getting to know the fruit all over again.

I saw that the fruit was filled with small particles of pulp, and there was a hollow core in the middle. After Jiang Ci took a bite of the fruit,

He broke open another red fruit and handed it to Shen Shuan. Shen Shuan followed his sister-in-law and took a bite.

Immediately, I felt a mouthful of sweet syrup exploding in my mouth. I saw that this fruit was not only full of juice, but also tasted very sweet!

Jiang Ci then said calmly: "This red fruit is called wild sweet potato, also called wild loquat and ground pomegranate. What you were talking about before was the male sweet potato that grows in the ground. It is indeed inedible, but we are eating it now." This is called a female sweet potato. The way to identify male and female sweet potatoes is very simple. You only need to break open the purple-red fruit. If the pulp is juicy, it is edible; if there is no obvious moisture after breaking it, then it cannot be eaten. of."

"Wow! Sister-in-law, you know so much!" Shen Shuan sighed,

The entire village only knew it was a harmful weed in the fields, and had never thought that the fruit on the vine could have such a sweet taste.

"Not bad!" Jiang Ci replied with two words, picked a few fruits, washed them in the nearby stream, and ate them as snacks.

Shen Shuan, on the other hand, took half of his sleeves out of his sleeves and ate them while walking with satisfaction.

Jiang Ci took Shen Shuan up the mountain for a while and stopped under a big tree.

And he was bending under the tree as if he was looking for something,

Within a few seconds, Jiang Ci held a miniature chestnut in his hand with a proud look on his face: "Sure enough, there is such a thing in the mountains."

"Sister-in-law, why are these chestnuts so small?" Shen Shuan looked surprised.

"Chestnut? This is not a chestnut, it's called a chestnut."

"Treatia?"

"Well, you see, the appearance of the coniferous chestnut is similar to that of the chestnut. The color is basically the same, but the shape is different. The coniferous chestnut is shaped like a small awl, with one end rounded and the other pointed. The fruit is bright and full in color, and it looks better than the chestnut. More delicate. But despite their similar appearance, this chestnut is softer, waxier and sweeter than the chestnut. Try it."

Jiang Ci broke open the shell of the chestnut, revealing the milky white pulp inside, and handed it to Shen Shuan.

Shen Shuan took a bite and immediately narrowed his eyes in comfort: "It really tastes sweeter than chestnuts!"

Jiang Ci smiled and nodded,

"The trees that produce this stuff are all old trees. When the chestnuts mature, they will automatically fall off the branches, so you don't have to go to the trees to pick them. You can just pick them directly from the ground. The chestnuts that fall on the ground exude a unique aroma. If you don't pick them in time, Being picked up always attracts a lot of wild animals, so now is the best time to pick up tritons."

"Sister-in-law! Tritons are so much more delicious than chestnuts, why don't we just sell sugar-fried cones? They will definitely be more popular than fried chestnuts!"

Shen Shuan said happily while picking it up,

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ci shook his head: "No! First: the yield of Triton chestnut is small. There can be 2 to 3 chestnuts in the chestnut thorn ball, but only 1 Triton in the chestnut thorn ball, so compared with the Chestnuts, chestnuts are produced in large quantities, and we can pick more."

"Second: Although the coni chestnut tastes better than the chestnut, it is too small, and there are many fallen leaves in autumn, so it is difficult for us to find them when they fall on the ground, which makes the supply chain very difficult. And we burn one kilogram of chestnuts with one stick of incense It takes time to pick them, but if we want to pick a pound of tritons, we have to spend at least four or five times the time, and we may not be able to find them. Therefore, these tritons are more suitable for the family to eat or to give to children as snacks and sell them. , not appropriate!”

And Shen Shuan looked shocked:

“I didn’t expect that selling food can be so demanding!”

"No! You have to rely on your brain to do anything!" Jiang Ci pointed to his temple.

And Shen Shuan nodded heavily,

Jiang Ci never thought that she just brought her children out to introduce the food on the mountain. One day, when the child was leading an army to fight and was trapped in a dangerous canyon, he just relied on the experiences his sister-in-law said to help the army live in the canyon. It lasted for fifty days and finally turned defeat into victory.

"Yeah! Sister-in-law, I'll bring some more to my parents today so they can have a taste!"
