Because they didn't know if they could find it and were afraid of unexpected gains in the mountains, the two of them carried two large backpacks and two sacks.

I thought that even if I couldn't find anything, the two sacks weren't heavy, so I could just take them with me. If I really found something, the sacks would be of great use.

The two of them pulled the branches and slowly slid down. Because it was too humid, the leaves were covered with water, and the ground was extremely slippery. The two of them even fell down several times. (Caoguolin)

When I opened the grass fruit tree, I saw that the roots of the grass fruit tree were covered with bunches of red grass fruits, just like grapes, in big bunches. (Tsaoko)

"Cousin, the ones here are so big. They come in bunches. I think I would have half a backpack just picking one bunch!"

It was also the first time for Li Zelan to see a fruit tree. If he had seen it before, he would definitely not have even looked at it.

"I have a lot of them here, so pick them quickly. Pick the big ones and the red ones. We can pick two baskets and one sack. We will keep the remaining sack and look for star anise."

Su Ziling was so excited that her hands began to shake. This grass fruit is a good thing. It can be used as a condiment to remove fishy smell and add fragrance. It is mostly used in braised vegetables. It can be used to stew meat, stew chicken, or cook pickled vegetables. Two grass fruits can enhance the flavor and aroma, and can also remove the smell and smell.

Grass fruits can not only be used as condiments, but also as medicinal materials, which can cure phlegm accumulation, remove blood stasis and eliminate food.

And it is easier to store, just dry it in the sun.

The two squatted on the ground with sickles to harvest, and the water on the leaves fell on their heads. Within a moment, their hair was wet and their clothes were also covered with thick moisture.

In just one stick of incense, the two of them had picked up both baskets. "Sanlang, keep the baskets stable, otherwise they will roll to the front foot in a moment."

"Hey, I got it, cousin. I'll come over to you when I'm calm."

The two of them stabilized their backpacks and began to pick and put them into sacks. They found the grass fruit Su Ziling and were not in a hurry. After a while, they had to change places to find the star anise. The grass fruit likes to grow in moist places, and the star anise is just the opposite. It likes to grow in Dry place.

In just one cup of tea, the two of them picked up a sack. Su Ziling pulled a handful of grass and tied the mouth of the sack tightly. Each of them lifted one end and climbed up slowly.

The ground was too slippery. After taking three steps up and one step back, both of them were panting from exhaustion.

After sending the sack of grass fruits to the roadside and hiding it, the two came back to carry the baskets. After this back and forth, both of them were very tired. Su Ziling took out the bamboo tube and took out two buckwheat buns. , the two of them sat on the roadside, taking a breath and eating.

"You can't tell, this thing is so heavy." Li Zelan took a bite of the bun, turned around and slapped the sack.

"Don't look at it too much. It won't be much when you get home and dry it in the sun." She was tired, but looking at the two baskets and a sack of grass fruits, Su Ziling was happy again.

After eating the steamed buns, she was sweating. Su Ziling stood up with a basket on her back, "Let's go to another mountain and go home."

One of them walks in front and the other walks behind. It will be much easier for two people to carry the sack of grass and fruits together.

When they came to the foot of a mountain, the two hid the fruits. The fruits in one of the backpacks were also dumped into the sack. The two people started to search into the mountain with a basket on their backs.

Star anise is different from grass fruits that grow in patches. Wild star anise trees are very tall and leafy, so you may miss them if you are not careful.

The two of them climbed one mountain and then another, but still found nothing. Seeing the sun setting in the west, Li Zelan leaned against a tree, panting heavily, "Cousin, how about we come back tomorrow? I think The sun is going down."

Su Ziling also had a worried look on her face. She climbed a mountain and the soles of her feet were numb, but she didn't find anything. She walked towards Li Zelan and said, "Okay, let's go back first and come back tomorrow to take a look."

When she was leaving, she pulled the tree and it was shaken. Something fell down and hit her on the head. She touched her hair and saw nothing.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that some bird poop had turned around.

But as soon as she took a step forward, something slipped off her collar. She looked down and saw that it was a mature anise.

Half of it was yellow, and the other half was black. She blinked. Does this mean it was obtained without any effort?

Li Zelan had already gone down the mountain. When he looked back, he saw that Su Ziling was still there, motionless, "Cousin, what's wrong?"

He thought she saw a snake, so he quickly turned back and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Su Ziling pointed to the top of her head, "Did you find anything?"

Li Zelan looked up for a long time and shook his head, "The sun is a bit glaring."

Su Ziling: "..."

"This is anise!"

"What the hell?" Li Zelan was shocked, looking at her in disbelief.

"You said it was the one we climbed over the mountain? Is it the Bajiao?"

Seeing Su Ziling nod, Li Zelan's mouth twitched. He wanted to say that he had always thought that anise also grew on roots.

At first, Su Ziling did tell him that octagonal anise has eight corners and grows on trees, but he mistook it after looking for it.

The tree was very tall, with lush branches and octagonal anise hanging on the treetop. It was really unsightly, and the color was almost the same as the leaves. It must have fallen down and hit Su Ziling, otherwise she would probably have missed it. (octagonal tree)

Li Zelan put the basket on her back and said, "Cousin, I'll pick it from the tree. Just wait underneath."

"Okay, then be careful. I'll cut you a tree hook. You can hook it from a distance." Su Ziling glanced at the tree. She really couldn't climb up, so she just cut two hooks. You can hit it from the bottom, and Li Zelan picks it from the top.

Su Ziling walked a little far, so she chopped off two sticks, one with a hook and one without. She smoothed out the thorns and barbs on the sticks.

Picking star anise is no different from strawberries. Star anise is smaller and not in bunches, so it takes a lot of effort to pick it.

Su Ziling handed the stick with the hook to Li Zelan. She looked at where she could hit more and more. As soon as the stick went down, the mature anise fell down, but she didn't pick it up. She kept hitting it until it was almost done. Searching all over the place, I picked up the anise and put it together.

Li Zelan sat on the tree pole, hooked a twig over, picked it slowly, and then plucked another twig over.

And this guy is also good at picking. He picks the ones with more collusion first and the sparse ones later. (star anise)

After picking for half an hour, Su Ziling only picked up half of the basket. Su Ziling looked at the sun and saw that half of it had fallen. "Sanlang, come down. We should go back."

"Pick some more, there are quite a lot of knots here." Li Zelan picked up another handful as he spoke.

"It's getting dark, and we'll have to find our way later. We've picked enough to eat, but we can come back in two days if not enough." Su Ziling urged him to get down from the tree while picking up star anise.

"Okay, help me hold on to the basket." He stood on the tree pole, hung the rope of the basket on the hook, and slowly lowered it to Su Ziling.

Su Ziling received the basket on her back and took a look inside, "Hey, I'm half done with the basket on my back. Come down quickly."

She also picked up the ones she had beaten, and the backpack was already two-thirds full. If not for the lack of time, the two of them could have filled the basket.
