Bai Shan handed all the fruits to Bai Erlang, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll pick them with you."
Shirojiro also wanted to climb the tree, so he threw everything into the basket, found another tree and climbed up. He never picked the fruits only to see if they were ripe or not, he just picked them when Yamato liked them.
So he picked it much faster than Bai Shan and Man Bao who were always comparing, and Mingda handed him a new basket.
Bai Erlang himself couldn't tell whether the pears were ripe, let alone Mingda. Seeing that Bai Erlang picked them so quickly, she pointed out to him: "There are some here too."
Bai Erlang hung the basket on a branch, got into the leaves, saw the pears she pointed to, reached out and pulled them down, and when he wanted to throw the basket back, he found that it was blocked by the leaves, so he went under the tree.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Here you go."
After that, he threw it towards Mingda.
Mingda couldn't help laughing happily, stretched out her hand to catch it, and held it in her arms. One fell out. She picked it up and put it in her basket. She continued to point him cheerfully, "There are some here, too. There are two here."
A very big one..."
On the other side, Chang Yu was also constantly bending down to pick up pears. From time to time, he could catch the pears thrown by Man Bao and Bai Shan, and occasionally gave them directions, "There are some here too, there is a particularly big one...
"
The three of them were crawling around in the tree, just like monkeys. Because of their large movements, the leaves on the tree fell. The guards and palace people stood aside silently and watched, and even saw several leaves falling from the tree with keen eyes.
A small loose fruit.
I felt sympathy for these wild pear trees in my heart.
The five people cooperated and tossed the three pear trees very hard, and then picked four baskets. Bai Shan and Man Bao jumped down from the tree and saw Bai Erlang picking two baskets alone. They couldn't help but pick him and him.
Mingda asked the fruit in the basket, "Can this be eaten?"
Bai Erlang said confidently: "It's sour anyway. Just bite it and eat it as soon as you close your eyes. Is there anything you can't eat?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao actually felt that he was right.
Chang Yu carried her basket forward and said with a troubled expression: "It's sour."
Mingda said happily: "It doesn't matter whether it's sour or sweet, I just had fun anyway."
Changyu thought about it and said, "Then let's go pick that sweet red fruit, Manbao, what is it called?"
"Prickly Pao," Man Bao said, "I know where there are a lot of them. Let's go."
Man Bao took them down the mountain from the other side. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, they saw a cluster of thorn hooks connected together with red dots dotted with many red fruits.
Man Bao stepped forward and saw a big one, so he reached out and picked it off. After looking at it to make sure there were no bugs, he handed it to Chang Yu, who put it into his mouth before the maids could stop him in time.
Then his eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly and said, "It's really sweet."
It's not that it's very sweet, but picking it up and eating it like this is still a wild fruit that she has never tasted before. Even if it is only 30% sweet, she still tastes 80% sweet.
Mingda also carefully avoided the stones and wooden blocks on the ground and stepped forward. Looking at so many red fruits in front of him, he didn't know which one to pick.
Bai Erlang had already reached out and picked several of them. Seeing that she didn't know how to start, he pointed out to her: "You can pick these if they are still intact. Look at the feel when you pick them. If they are hard, they must be good. If they are soft, they must be good."
, just check to see if it’s broken, if not, it must be sweet.”
This is the superficial experience he has accumulated over the years. Although it is not very accurate, it is still six points accurate, so he feels it is still very accurate.
Mingda nodded and picked up the thorn bubbles under his guidance, but if he picked too many, he didn't know where to put them.
The palace maid quickly took the purse and stepped forward to load it for her. Mingda took it, but couldn't help turning his head to look at Manbao and the others.
Bai Shan casually picked two big leaves from the other side, gave one to Man Bao, and took one for himself to put the fruit on.
She then turned to look at Bai Erlang and saw that he was holding it in his hands. If he picked too many, he would pick a few big red fruits and eat them until there were fewer red fruits in his hands before continuing to pick.
Mingda:……
Chang Yu didn't care about this. He just picked it up and turned around to give it to the palace maids and chamberlains. Occasionally, he stuffed a few pieces into his mouth and ate them with relish.
The five people picked all the red fruits, leaving only a few scattered ones unpicked.
Especially the one in the middle, which looked brightly red, but they didn't pick it, not because they didn't want to, but because they were helpless.
If you want to walk in, you will inevitably get thorns hooked on your clothes. Man Bao said: "You should wear coarse clothes. That way you won't be afraid of being hooked."
Although the clothes they are wearing are not particularly good, they are fine and expensive. Not only Manbao, but also Bai Shan and Bai Erlang are not willing to ruin their clothes.
The five of them were tired, so they sat down under a tree, sharing the pickled thorns while looking at the fields below the mountain and chatting.
The majestic wind blew away a lot of the heat. Mingda exhaled and couldn't help but take a deep breath. He felt comfortable in his heart and didn't even feel like he was having an attack of breath.
You know, when going out, what she is most afraid of is the invisible dust and flying catkins outside. When she breathes deeply, her nose always feels itchy and her chest feels tight.
Mingda reached out and touched the bracelet on his wrist, turned to Manbao, smiled slightly, and asked, "Why is the red fruit called Cicada?"
Man Bao scratched his head, "Because there are thorns on the vine, and the red fruit looks like bubbles growing on it?"
Bai Shan burst out laughing when he heard this, "That's not wrong. I heard people say it's also called a hanging hook."
Speaking of aliases, who is more familiar with them than Man Bao?
Her encyclopedia contains all the recorded names of this thing. She clapped her fingers and said: "It is also called raspberry, raspberry, tree plum, raspberry, wildberry, raspberry, blackberry...
"
Bai Shan turned his head and ignored her.
Chang Yu was dumbfounded, "How did you know so many names?"
Bai Erlang said: "Otherwise, do you think those flowers and plants were in vain? She has liked digging grass since she was a child, and also likes to catch insects. Once she gets it, she will study it. She has to break it open to see whether it is a male or a female. What she knows can
Not much?"
Chang Yu shuddered when he heard this, and silently moved a little away from Man Bao.
When Man Bao saw her, he sat over and sat directly next to her. He stretched out his hand and said, "My hands have not only touched flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, birds, and animals, but also people."
"From the outside, the head, hands, feet, to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys inside, I have touched them all."
Chang Yu was so frightened that he pushed her away, jumped up and stayed away from her, "Zhou Man, you are scaring me."
Man Bao burst out laughing and said happily: "You are afraid of it just now, are you stupid?"
"You are stupid, you, you," Chang Yu thought for a while but couldn't think of a good word, so he could only shout: "You are not allowed to say these things anymore, and you, Bai Cheng, if you scare me again, I will scare you."
