"Daddy is back!" Xiao Douding could guess what was happening outside as soon as he heard the movement outside.
Qin Di was still watching Zhou's cooking. The aroma was lingering on the tip of her nose when she heard the boy's cry. Along with Luo Xuan, she looked outside and saw that Luobu was really back. The meal was just in time.
Zhou's dishes are all ready right away.
It's just Luo Bu's body. You can tell at a glance whether he's wet or not.
...
As Luo Xuan arrived at the fields in the yard, she actually saw the green fields here as soon as she came over. Unexpectedly, there were already many results in them.
But judging from the height of the vegetation there, there should be no tall plants, definitely no trees. They are all short vegetation, and you can't see clearly what they are from too far away.
When she arrived, she immediately saw the tallest plant among them. The green stalks were edged by a layer of long green leaves, which were a bit fluffy. There were green, furry things like horns growing on them.
"Chili pepper?" Qin Di was fascinated when she looked at that thing. This thing is a non-spicy chili pepper with a sticky texture. She has been here for so long and it seems that she has never tasted such a thing.
Hearing what Qin Di said, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Di, obviously they couldn't believe that Qin Di actually recognized the things here.
Because they didn't recognize any of them.
Pulling Qin Di's sleeve, Luo Xuan's eyes were as wide as bells on his chubby little face, with a puzzled expression.
"Sister Qin, is this the foreign pepper you are talking about? What is this? Is it the green pepper that I like to eat? It seems to look a little similar, but doesn't the green pepper hang long? This is towards the
Oh my god."
Luo Xuan scratched his little head and pointed to the sky. Luo Xuan was a little curious about what it tasted like. It turned out to be chili pepper, so it must be edible, right? He likes spicy things the most!
After rubbing Luo Xuan's little head, Qin Di smiled and said, "No, it's not a green pepper, it's called a foreign pepper because it's not a local variety here.
Its stem is cylindrical, with sparse spines, palmate leaves, broad to narrow lobes, linear stipules, covered with sparse bristles.
It has a thicker texture and is actually not spicy, so it is also called okra." He looked around and spoke to the people around him.
When Chun Xing heard this, she immediately pursed her lips and said, "Miss, you are biased. You even named it after okra without using my name, huh."
At first, she was still confused about what Chun Xing meant when she said that, but as soon as she finished speaking, Qin Di laughed out loud, "You girl, I didn't name it after her, I just called the thing this."
Qin Di smiled and looked at Chun Xing's dissatisfied look. This girl was competing with Qiu Kui and Qin Cheng for favor at home. She was a jealous person.
But what she was more curious about than this was, shouldn't this thing mature in summer and autumn?
But if you think about it carefully, it's true. It's normal for the local climate to be different. What's more, it's almost late spring now, and it's hot in this location, so it's appropriate to mature early.
Stepping forward and carefully avoiding other plants, she picked a few okra stalks in her hands. She quickly picked off the top ones before they became too old, otherwise they would become too old and unpalatable later.
I picked five or six stalks and grabbed them directly in my hand. In fact, five or six stalks are enough to make a dish for the whole family. The fried pork is especially delicious.
But of course, people who don't like eating won't like the taste, but she still quite likes eating it.
Passing the okra to Luo Xuan, who was full of curiosity, Qin Di also discovered a good thing when he just entered, a must-have thing in summer!
They immediately found the vine they had just seen. Others didn't know what Qin Di was going to do. They saw her touching the vine, and then she found something like a ball and picked it up.
I saw that the surface of the ball was green in color with black patterns on it. It was still relatively small at this time, about as long and wide as Qin Di's hands.
After searching for a while, Qin Di found three of those balls along a vine.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you come over quickly and help?
You guys hold these three melons for me, Qin Cheng, and you go dig up the vines with me."
He immediately started moving as Qin Di said. It was easy to find the melon along the vines, and it was also easy to find the roots. However, it was still a bit laborious to dig it out, and I had to be careful, for fear of breaking it.
The entire melon vine was picked up, including roots and clods of soil.
There happened to be an empty field on one side, and I was originally thinking that I was worried that there would be plants that couldn't be placed here, so this would come in handy.
The vines were moved to another field, a pit was dug and the roots were buried, and then the melons were put down.
"Sister Qin, what is this? It smells sweet and fresh, a bit like the smell of rain."
Looking at Qin Di in confusion, Luo Xuan still had okra in his pocket, with some small corners exposed. At this moment, he just felt that Qin Di was so powerful, how could he know everything.
Looking at the arranged vines and fruits, Qin Di flexed her sour wrists and said with a smile, "This is called watermelon."
"Watermelon? Is this a melon from the west? Why is it called watermelon?" Curious about this name, children always find it so strange and simple.
Smiling lightly, Qin Di raised his eyes with a hint of thinking, "Well, you can say that, after all, there is a saying that it comes from the Western Regions.
Of course, there is another saying, which originates from the story of Shen Nong tasting hundreds of herbs. According to legend, watermelon was discovered when Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs. It was originally called porridge, which is rare, but later it was passed down and became watermelon.
West.
That's all I know, what do Xuan'er think?" He asked back, Qin Di would answer the children's hundreds of thousands of why questions if he could, and give up on those he couldn't answer.
Her little lips pursed slightly and she raised her head, "Sister Qin, I don't know, I only know it's called watermelon, and I actually want to know more, is it delicious? How to eat it?" Two little hands
Holding it, Luo Xuan stared at Qin Di curiously, waiting for her answer.
Seeing Luo Xuan like this, Qin Di also chuckled, "Well, you'll know when it's cooked."
I can't describe it to the boy. When he eats it after chilling it in the summer, he will know how delicious it is.
Now, just keep a little sense of mystery. Qin Di smiled slightly. Seeing this, the boy could only say "Okay" in disappointment, and then seemed to remember something and ignited a glimmer of hope.
After all, the watermelon is grown right here at his house, and when it matures...
