Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

The fruit of this oil palm tree is set very low, less than half a meter above the ground.

Mu Xi took out the knife he carried with him and cut off a large palm fruit.

It's a bit like jackfruit. It's a big fruit, and you need to take out the small edible fruits one by one.

The small fruits are dark red mixed with orange. The largest one is about the same size as a large red date. The skin is relatively hard and shiny.

Between the small fruits were hard thorns as long as fingers. Mu Xi pinched the fruits one by one with his hands.

The small oil palm fruit is pinched out, and golden oil emerges from the bottom of the fruit.

In addition to eating this fruit, its pulp is mainly used to squeeze oil. The oil yield is nearly ten times higher than that of soybeans.

Zhao Yeqing poured out the mushrooms from the basket, placed the oil palm fruits at the bottom, and put the vegetables wrapped in large leaves into the basket.

She didn't want to be eating oil palm fruit and suddenly see a villain.

The two of them didn't go out to find supplies. She only carried a small basket and couldn't hold it anymore after picking an oil palm fruit.

Mu Xi memorized this location, "I'll come back another day to take the others back."

After hearing this, Zhao Yeqing reluctantly moved forward.

They walked down the mountain and reached about halfway up the mountain. Zhao Yeqing looked down the mountain and found that the road down the mountain was mostly covered with ground vegetation and there were very few tall trees.

Even if there are trees, they are all small trees, and there are only a few banyan trees among the big trees.

Maybe these banyan trees are so big that even the smallest one needs three or four people to hug it.

This makes it difficult for other trees to grow around.

Guohuo and Xuebing don't like to play in places without trees, and they have long gone without knowing where they are.

Without the protection of the woods, Zhao Yeqing found a protruding rock and stood on it to look down.

The scenery below the mountain is unobstructed.

There is a small river in the middle of the greenery, flowing from west to north.

The geographical location here is higher. Zhao Yeqing reasonably guessed that one of the water sources of the back mountain lake in Meishan comes from this small river.

The water source of this small river may also come from the lake in the meadow.

After watching for a few minutes, Mu Xi pulled her down. After the recent series of shocks, the raised rocks could easily become loose and it would be too dangerous to stand on them.

Zhao Yeqing was already satisfied with this trip. He got the information he wanted and gained a lot.

"Let's go home."

Going up a mountain is not as dangerous as going down a mountain.

Zhao Yeqing confidently lay on Mu Xi's back and promised to go back later to give him the first oil palm fruit baked by her.

Mu Xi originally thought that the change in their relationship would make her uncomfortable, but now it seems that she was overly worried.

Zhao Yeqing adapted very well, lying on his back, humming some tunes, and cheering him up.

The way back was not the same as the way back. Zhao Yeqing waved his hand and said he wanted to go up the mountain in the direction of the lake to see if the small river flowed from the lake.

Mu Xi raised his feet and walked in that direction without saying a word.

He knew that this was Zhao Yeqing's whim. Both of them knew that the lake area was larger than an ordinary small town. Even if the river flowed from the lake, the probability of finding it was very low.

Zhao Yeqing looked around on Mu Xi's back, and as expected, saw no trace of water.

When he was about to walk out of the forest, Zhao Yeqing reached out and pointed to the side, "Look!"

Mu Xi turned around. There was still no water source nearby, only a large bush of lush ramie.

Zhao Yeqing had an expression on his face that I had known for a long time, "I said before that I was going to make a rope. Look, I found it now."

Mu Xi couldn't see her expression, but just from her tone, he knew what this woman looked like now.

He used his arm behind her to lift her up and walked straight home.

"I'll come back another day."

The two men and the leopard went out, but when they came back, the leopard was nowhere to be found.

Zhao Yeqing jumped off Mu Xi's back and walked into the kitchen, pouring out the mushrooms and oil palm fruits from the basket.

For safety reasons, she carefully washed the fruit several times with water.

Mu Xi cleaned himself up and walked in. Zhao Yeqing pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit on the bench.

Along the way up the mountain, except for her coming down and walking for more than 20 minutes, Mu Xi carried her back almost the entire way.

"You rest and I'll cook."

After that, he raised the fire first.

There is an iron tripod on the firepit, and the pot is usually placed on it when cooking.

Zhao Yeqing took down the pot above and lit a fire in the fire pit.

While waiting for the fire to start, she went to the tool room to get a roll of wire left over from the grass circle.

Cut the wire into long strips and twist it into a small grilling net.

The fire in the fire pit slowly ignited. Zhao Yeqing controlled the fire and set the grill on the tripod.

Place the washed oil palm fruits on top and turn them slowly with chopsticks.

In less than five minutes, the oil palm fruit slowly released its fragrance.

From the fracture at the tail, you can see golden palm oil boiling sizzlingly inside.

Ten minutes later, the entire kitchen was filled with a strange aroma.

Zhao Yeqing put the first roasted one on the plate and handed it to Mu Xi.

Then he turned around and continued to roast the biggest one seriously.

She kept urging him with her eyes.

Mu Xi put the palm fruit into his mouth. After roasting, the palm fruit was no longer hard, but became very soft and waxy.

Before he could swallow the pulp, he gave her feedback, "It's delicious."

Zhao Yeqing is full of expectations for his biggest fruit.

The moment he was sure it was done, Zhao Yeqing picked it up, blew it with his mouth to cool it down, and stuffed the whole piece into his mouth.

The pulp is like a combination of chestnuts and sweet potatoes that have been stewed for a long time. It has the softness of sweet potatoes and the fragrance of chestnuts, but it is much more delicious than chestnuts.

There is a lot of thick fiber in the pulp. After eating the soft and waxy pulp, the thick fiber needs to be spit out, along with the black core.

Zhao Yeqing washed away the fibers on the core and used the hammer he had prepared long ago to crack open the core.

The black core is white inside and can be eaten. It tastes like coconut meat.

It was just a bit too strenuous. Zhao Yeqing only tasted one and didn't plan to eat the remaining core.

It was said that Zhao Yeqing was the one cooking, but Mu Xi still kicked her out of the kitchen.

"You go take a shower first, and you can eat after you finish."

Zhao Yeqing roasted half a basket of palm fruits by the fire. His head was covered in sweat, so he didn't refuse to take a shower.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Yeqing still couldn't hold it back and ended today's dinner with the last palm fruit core.

Mu Xi carried the basin filled with dishes and walked to the back of the house to wash the dishes.

Zhao Yeqing cracked the core and savored the coconut aroma in the core, treating it as an after-dinner snack.

After the two of them had fed the sheep and horses, brushed their teeth and entered the room.

Mu Xi sat by the bed, knitting a straw mat in his hands, and casually asked her what she wanted to eat tomorrow morning.

Zhao Yeqing suddenly sat up and pointed at him with wide eyes!

"You, you, you! Why do you have subtitles when you speak!"
