Axiu led the way, probably thinking about going to the county to find her mother-in-law. She was extremely excited and jumping up and down the whole way.

The two of them walked further and further away, forgetting the deviation, they still had to climb the slope. Su Ziling picked ghost arrow grass while walking. This thing looked exactly like an arrow, and it felt like a thorn in the person's body.

"Axiu, this place is so remote, why did you come here?"

"I came here two days ago to graze the cows. The calf ran around, and the big cow went to look for the calf. I couldn't win, so the big cow ran away. Finally, I found it here." A Xiu said and rubbed the palms of his hands. It was as if the mark of being strangled by the rope that day was still there.

Su Ziling touched her head, "Next time it runs away, just let it go, or find a nearby tree. You can tie the cow up by circling around the tree, but don't hold it back. Otherwise you will be dragged away by the cow, do you understand?"

"Well, I know, so I let it go when it ran away. Fortunately, I found it in the end." Axiu stopped and looked around, and finally determined the direction, "Sister, it will be there soon, right over there, there is There is a big tree growing on a slope, with bright red fruits in bunches, but there are thorns on the tree, making it difficult to pick."

While the two were talking, they climbed up a little further. Axiu lowered her head and picked up something unknown. She stood firm and raised her hands high, looking at her with bright eyes.

"Sister, look at this, can it be eaten? If not, we won't climb up."

Su Ziling glanced down, and the corners of her lips slowly raised, "You can eat. Come on, let's crawl faster and pick more and bring them back. I'll make something delicious for you!"

Looking at the bright red hawthorn tree in the palm of her hand, Su Ziling instantly felt strong again.

This hawthorn is a wild hawthorn. The fruit is not big in size and has a bit too much core, but it is very red and has a strong fragrance. Just pinch one in the palm of your hand and you can smell the sour fragrance. (Wild hawthorn picture)

Since the hawthorns have rolled here, it means they are fully mature. Fully mature hawthorns will be more fragrant and less sour.

Axiu didn't close her mouth when she heard that it was edible. She pulled the branch to climb up and said breathlessly: "Sister, what is this?"

"Hawthorn, let's pick up more hawthorns. Not only can they be made into candied haws, but they can also be dried and stored to be used to make vinegar later. If you feel too full, you can also eat two hawthorns to help digestion."

The more Su Ziling talked about it, the happier she became. She thought that if there was too much, she could make more maltose when she went back. Then she would carry the hawthorns on her back and make candied haws for sale in restaurants. She thought she could make a fortune.

"Tanghulu? Is it delicious?"

Axiu has never been to the county or town, so naturally she has never seen candied haws. Moreover, most hawthorns are now used for medicinal purposes and are rarely used to make candied haws.

"It's delicious, sour and sweet. Come on, let's walk faster. I'll make two skewers for you to eat when we get back."

Su Ziling walked behind her, and would help Axiu if she couldn't climb up.

"I've already seen the hawthorn, sister, have you seen it?" Axiu climbed up the slope, stood there and pointed at the red hawthorn tree not far away and asked.

"I see!"

Su Ziling wiped the sweat from her forehead and saw a hawthorn tree on the hillside not far away, which was covered with red fruits hanging in bunches. (Hawthorn picture)

When the wind blows, the fully mature ones will fall to the ground with the wind.

A layer has fallen on the ground, and the roots are still very fresh. "Axiu, pick up the ones on the ground, the good ones, and discard the broken ones. I'll pick them from the tree, so be careful. "

"I understand, sister!" Axiu responded obediently, then stabilized her small backpack and squatted on the ground to carefully select the fallen hawthorns.

Su Ziling glanced at the trees. They were either very tall or had thorns. She looked around and saw a red tree not far away, so she cut it down.

This kind of tree is very straight and has two branches at the bottom. After cutting it down, the branches at the base of the tree can be used to make hooks. If you climb up the tree and find something that is out of reach, you can use the hook to pick it.

After cutting the hook, she tried the feel and it was pretty good. However, the top of the tree was a little thin and the roots would be a little soft when supported. If it was chopped, the length would not be enough. She thought for a moment, chopped another stick and used grass to cut it. The middle is tied all the way to the top of the tree for reinforcement.

She threw the bag under the tree, then carried a basket on her back. As she climbed, she chopped off the thorns on the tree, peeled the thorns cleanly, and then climbed up.

There were indeed a lot of hawthorns, but they were already overripe. As soon as her hook touched the fruit, the hawthorns fell all over, and only Axiu cried out in pain from underneath.

"Sister, you hit me!" She squatted under the tree, covering her head, her voice a little aggrieved.

"Move to the side. This hawthorn is so ripe that it will fall off as soon as you touch it." If it weren't for the fear that the hawthorn would break, Su Ziling would have wanted to stand under the tree and hit it with a stick.

Su Ziling was picking and dropping them, and Axiu was responsible for picking them up. After a while, her basket was full, "Sister, it's full."

"Axiu is great! When it's full, pour it into the sack. Did you see the sack under the tree?"

Su Ziling's backpack was relatively large, so she took off half of the sack. She hugged the tree, looked down at Axiu underneath, and told her where the sack was.

Ever since Su's father brought a sack to pack grass and fruits last time, Su Ziling also learned a trick. As long as he goes out, a sickle, a basket, and a sack are indispensable. Ordering something is effortless.

"I saw it!" Axiu poured the hawthorns into the sack. After placing the sack firmly, he continued to pick it up, picking up more and more. Su Ziling was mainly picking at the top, so there were always fresh red hawthorns falling down.

As long as something falls, Axiu will pick it up first, and she will pick up the ones that have not fallen.

The two of them were getting happier and happier picking up things on the hillside. They forgot to check the time. The sun kept shining on them, and neither of them noticed that the sun had started to set.

Su Ziling stopped picking after picking a full basket, and stood directly on the tree to pick them. She had thought that this basket was enough for selling candied haws, and the ones at the bottom could be eaten by herself, or dried in the sun and made into vinegar.

"Axiu, get out of the way and I'll knock everything off."

As she finished speaking, she saw Axiu stumbled away without even lifting the basket on her back.

As soon as the stick went down, hawthorn rain began to fall on the trees. The ripe hawthorns fell down with crackling, and some rolled down the hillside.

Axiu was so distressed that she couldn't care less about the pain and ran to intercept him.

After finishing beating the hawthorns on the tree, she threw the stick down and slowly went down the tree with a basket of hawthorns on her back.
