Chapter 470 Wild Grapes and Sugarcane
"Hiss." Gu Qingming was suddenly shaken by the sour feeling, his little face twisted, and he quickly spat out the wild fruit in his mouth.
Oh my god, this wild fruit is so sour that it makes your teeth fall out.
When Gu Qinghan saw Gu Qingming like this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
One of these fruits early in the morning will surely wake you up. Seeing his youngest son like this, Village Chief Gu stopped putting the wild fruit in his mouth and put it back on the plate.
"Mom, why is this fruit so sour?"
Gu Qingming quickly shoveled a few mouthfuls of porridge, and the sour taste was gone, and he asked in confusion.
"There are sweet ones too. Try another one." Xu Qing replied.
No one knew where this black fruit came from. Xu Qing just tasted one sweet and one sour. The sweet one was very sweet, while the sour one made him drool.
Gu Qingming was half-believing and half-doubting, so he took another one and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "This time it's sour and sweet."
"It would be nice if there were more. I'll give some to Xiaoduo and the others to try."
When Gu Qinghan heard Gu Qingming say this, he didn't say anything. Wuhei might also be sent to Ayuan. It was no longer an ordinary bird.
……
On Xuyuan's side, as Gu Qinghan expected, Wuhei was indeed the half basket of wild fruits sent by Xuyuan's family.
But Wuhei, who was making a wish, had a different expression, "My benefactor, this is my gift to you. You must taste it carefully, it is very sweet, and the fruit is hidden very deep."
Xu Zhi was already accustomed to Wuhei's ability to speak human language fluently. After all, Wuhei had been able to learn to speak human language before. Maybe after hearing it many times, it would be able to speak itself. After all, a bird that could speak was not simple.
What's more, she saw that the mountain god mentioned by others would listen to others.
But why do these purple-black wild fruits, clustered together one by one, look so much like the grapes described by my sister? Now its seeds are planted in the corner of the wall, and the small seedlings have just grown out not long ago.
Xu Zhi asked Xu Yuan uncertainly: "Sister, are these grapes?"
"These are wild grapes." Xuyuan sent Wuhei away, took some and put them in a basket, and asked Wuhei to take them home.
The quantity is small, and the taste is very exciting. There are actually three flavors appearing on a bunch of wild grapes at the same time, sweet, sweet and sour, and pure sour. The taste is so sour and refreshing.
Xu Yuan took a sip of the sour drink and then gulped down a bowl of water.
It’s better to leave it for the two little kids as a snack.
If there are large quantities, maybe they can be used to make fruit wine.
The sugarcane in the field was finally harvested. Xu Yuan took his machete and Xu Zhi and went to the vegetable garden. Since the sugarcane was still in the cultivation stage, not many were planted and they were planted close to the mountainside.
Xu Zhi was very excited. She had been looking forward to it for a long time. Since planting it, she has been taking good care of it, looking at it every day and observing its growth and changes.
Xu Yuan picked up the machete and held a piece of sugarcane in his hand. He chopped it down with the machete and the sugarcane fell down.
Seeing that there was nothing special about cutting sugarcane, Xu Zhi also started cutting.
Gu Qinghan knew that Xu Yuan was going to cut sugarcane in the vegetable garden today. After helping with the housework, he hurried to Xu Yuan's house.
……
Chicken shed somewhere in the forest
Some time ago, Liu Zhushan strictly followed the prescription given by Xu Yuan and fed the sick chickens in the chicken coop on time. Those chickens that were originally sick and listless have returned to normal after this period of care.
A grass nest was built in the open space, with eggs lying on the ground inside. Picking up eggs all over the field was the happiest moment for Liu Zhushan and Wang Shan.
"In a while, we may not have such good days anymore." Wang Shan said with emotion, holding a bamboo basket in his hand.
He and Liu Zhushan were stuck in the selection of candidates for enlistment and had no way of refusing.
The poor children in the family can only rely on Uncle Wang and his family.
"Never mind. Instead of thinking about it, I might as well just live one day at a time."
"I tell you, they are much safer here than outside. As long as the villagers don't leave the village, no one will ever find us." Liu Zhushan suddenly said, bending down and picking up an egg from under a chicken, then quickly withdrew his hand, fearing that the chicken would suddenly peck someone.
"What, they will never find us, then if we don't go, then no one will find us either?" Wang Shan asked in shock.
"Alas, some people in the village also think so, but they were persuaded by Village Chief Gu. I don't know whether this statement is true or not. After all, we can stay here, but the children can't stay here forever."
Liu Zhushan actually thought so at the beginning. People outside the county town talked about it so magically that they all felt like they were living in another world.
Living in another world?
Liu Zhushan found it a little weird when he thought about it, so he quickly interrupted his thoughts.
How is that possible!
"Father Liu, Uncle Ashan, we are here." The two girls, Li Juanhua and Zhu Xiaoque, walked over here happily.
"Juanhua, what are you carrying?" Wang Shan noticed something long on Li Juanhua's shoulder, but he didn't know what it was.
"Uncle Ashan, it's sugarcane. Sister Xuyuan gave it to us. We have another one at home." Zhu Xiaoque replied.
"Sugar cane? I'll have to take a closer look." Wang Shan said, carrying half a basket of eggs out of the chicken coop and coming to a big tree not far from the chicken coop. There was a simple pavilion with a set of tables, chairs and benches inside, and a water tank outside, half filled with water. There was also a small shed next to it, and a yellow-haired dog was lazily lying in the doghouse, squinting.
Li Juanhua and Zhu Xiaoque sat down in the small pavilion, with the breeze blowing in the woods.
Liu Zhushan and Wang Shan put their baskets on the table, ran to wash their hands, and then sat down in the pavilion.
The whole piece of sugarcane that Li Juanhua brought was also cut into arm-length pieces by Liu Zhushan. He left the part with roots as he also wanted to try planting it.
"I didn't expect that the sweet potato stems were so thin and small before, but now they are so thick after being cultivated by the girl Xuyuan." Liu Zhushan stretched out his hand to gesture and exclaimed in admiration.
"It's sweet too." Wang Shan peeled off the green skin, revealing the flesh inside.
I took a bite and started chewing. The sweet but not too sweet juice flowed in my mouth.
"Juanhua, I'll send a basket of eggs to your sister Xuyuan's house later."
"Okay." Li Juanhua nodded obediently. It was the first time for her to taste such sweet juice. Since she followed Father Liu to Hsinchu Village, she has seen a lot of different things. They all said that Sister Xu Yuan was knowledgeable, so she admired Sister Xu Yuan the most. She was really amazing.
After enjoying the sweet sugarcane, a pile of residue and several arm-long pieces of sugarcane were left on the table. Liu Zhushan asked Li Juanhua and Zhu Xiaoque to take them back.
