Chapter 295 On June 6, sweet potatoes are ripe
Shanpaoer?
This name is quite down-to-earth.
Su Yuqing said: "You said that the name of each place is different. Does it have any other names?"
Li Han nodded and said, "Yes, a lot. It seems that there are other names, such as mountain balls, milk soaking, March soaking, April soaking, barley soaking, soaking thorns, thorn gourds, steamed buns and pineapples, etc. Anyway, there are many names, and it's messy."
Well, it doesn’t matter what the name is. What’s important is that Li Han said this kind of fruit is delicious.
Moreover, from the shape of this fruit, it does give people a feeling that it should be delicious.
Qin Xiaoyue couldn't wait to say, "Then can we eat it now? Can we just pick it off and eat it?"
Li Han said: "You can eat it. Just pick it off and eat it directly. Of course, if there is water, it is best to pick it off and wash it before eating it. Now there is no water, just eat it directly."
Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue nodded at the same time, and at the same time reached out to pick a fruit and put it in their mouths.
Then, my eyes were bright.
Su Yuqing said: "It's really delicious, sweet, and a little sour. The taste is really good!"
Qin Xiaoyue said: "I didn't expect there would be such delicious wild fruits in the mountains, and I'll eat them again."
Li Han smiled and said, "There are many delicious foods in the mountains. This food is not only delicious, but also has good medicinal value. It is said to have the effects of helping yang and improving eyesight, soothe wine and quenching thirst, resolving phlegm and detoxifying, reducing swelling and astringing sores. Therefore, there is no harm in eating it."
The two women nodded at the same time, and their hands were not slow. The medicinal value was not important, but the important thing was that it was really delicious.
Li Han also picked some to eat, and he hadn't eaten this thing for a while.
After eating for a while, it was almost done. Although the food was delicious, you should not eat too much.
Qin Xiaoyue said: "Li Han, you just said that there are a lot of delicious foods in the mountains. Apart from this kind of wild fruit, are there any other delicious wild fruits?"
Li Han said: "Yes. Let's continue walking. If you encounter other wild fruits that you can eat, I'll tell you."
"Okay! Then let's go quickly." The second girl said at the same time, her interest getting higher and higher.
Where did they find any wild fruits to eat in the mountains before? They are very excited about the next kind of wild fruit that can be eaten.
After walking a short distance, Qin Xiaoyue made new discoveries.
She found a red fruit not far from the roadside. The plant that bears this fruit is very short.
Generally speaking, if there are these plants, they are small pieces connected together.
This red fruit is also a little bit like a strawberry, but it is only a little bit like it, not as similar to the kind of fruit just now.
Because, this red fruit is round and like a small red sphere.
Qin Xiaoyue said happily: "Li Han, Yu Qing, look at this kind of fruit, it looks a little like strawberries. Li Han, what kind of fruit is this? Can it be eaten?"
Li Han said: "This is a snake fruit. The older generation said that this kind of fruit is the fruit eaten by snakes, so it is called a snake fruit. It cannot be eaten because snakes will lick this kind of fruit, which is poisonous."
"Ah~~" Qin Xiaoyue was startled and jumped away quickly.
Things like snakes are always very scary.
Su Yuqing said: "Is it really the fruit eaten by snakes?"
Li Han laughed and said, "Of course not. This is just the saying of the older generation, it is a rumor. Because, sometimes we will see that there is something like foam on this kind of fruit, like saliva, and think it is proof that the snake has licked it. But it should actually be something that the snails vomit. Snakes will not eat this kind of fruit."
Qin Xiaoyue patted her heart and glared at Li Han. She was shocked just now. Then she said, "So, can this kind of fruit be eaten?"
Li Han said: "It's okay to eat, but it's not delicious, it has a little sweetness, but this sweetness is very light and a little astringent. So, no one will eat this kind of fruit."
So that's it.
Since that's the case, Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue both gave up the idea of tasting.
Qin Xiaoyue looked at the snake fruit on the ground and said, "What a pity, it looks quite delicious."
Li Han said: "It looks delicious, but it is actually not delicious, and even something that cannot be eaten. There are many things in this mountain. So, if it is something you don't recognize, no matter how delicious it looks, it is best not to try it."
Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue nodded at the same time, so they naturally understood this.
Su Yuqing said: "I only know that there is a kind of fruit that looks like an apple, called snake fruit. I didn't expect that this kind of wild fruit is also called snake fruit. By the way, are it also called snake fruit in other places?"
Li Han said: "The name of this kind of 'snake fruit' in various places seems to be relatively unified. It seems that there are all snake fruits, snakes, snakeberries, etc. They all have the word 'snake'. Unlike the kind of fruit that just now, the names of the fruits are all messy, and they all have all the names."
"So that's the case." Su Yuqing said, "It's a pity that this kind of snake fruit is not delicious."
Li Han smiled and said, "Although snake fruit is not delicious, there are delicious things here."
"Really? Where is it?" the two women asked at the same time, and looked at the place where Li Han's fingers were at the same time.
I saw that the place where Li Han pointed was not far from this snake fruit, and it was a slope.
However, there seemed to be no fruit there, only a low plant, as if it was creeping on a slope.
The stems of those plants are cylindrical or slightly flat, with many branches and slightly enlarged joints. The leaves are not big, and they look very tough, oval, green, with blunt tips at the apex, nearly round or shallow heart-shaped at the base, and sparse and shallow wavy sawtooths at the edges.
The two girls walked to the plant and looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see any fruits.
Qin Xiaoyue said: "Li Han, are you talking about delicious food here? I didn't see any fruits."
Li Han smiled and said, "It's impossible to see this way. You need to open the leaves and look carefully. Some of the fruits are exposed outside and can be picked directly. Some are embedded half, or even half in the soil, and you need to pry them out of the soil."
"So that's how it is." The two girls were intrigued again, as if they were very interesting.
"By the way, what kind of fruit is this? Why does it grow in the soil like sweet potatoes?" Su Yuqing said.
Li Han said: "It doesn't grow in the soil, it actually grows on the stems. Some of the stems are covered by the soil, and it looks a bit like they grow in the soil. It's still different from sweet potatoes. However, this thing is really called sweet potatoes. To be precise, it is called 'wild sweet potatoes'."
"It's really called sweet potato?" Su Yuqing was happy. Wild sweet potatoes are also sweet potatoes.
Li Han said: "It is indeed called wild sweet potato. However, sweet potato is sweet potato, and this kind of wild sweet potato is wild sweet potato. The two are completely different."
Qin Xiaoyue said: "No matter whether it is a wild sweet potato or a sweet potato, let's find one first. Will you just peel the leaves open and look for it? Is it time for the fruit to ripen? "
Li Han said: "There is a saying that 'June 6th, sweet potatoes are ripe.' This is what we mean by this kind of wild sweet potato. Therefore, in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, it is the time when wild sweet potatoes are most mature. Now, it is a little late. However, there should be some, and it should be found."
"Really?" Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue and the two girls were both happy and said, "Then let's look for it quickly. It seems that they will see what it looks like?"
Li Han smiled and said, "Okay!"
