Farming and teaching across different worlds
Chapter 22
However, the quantity is not much, and the people who go up the mountain will pick the fruits from the outer areas, so there is nothing left.
But after watching for a while, he found that he didn't recognize the plants in the mountain.
Although he is not a botanist, it is not likely that he has never seen any of these wild plants, and it is not strange to say that he has not seen any familiar ones.
And he clearly remembered before that the vegetables grown at home were all common varieties, and the crops in the field were also ones he had heard of.
Before, he thought that although the two worlds are in different time and space, their ecologies are similar.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all. As for the reason for this situation, he has no idea now.
Ji Xiuran frowned, immersed in his own thoughts, completely unaware that they had already arrived at their destination.
The boys arrived early and searched around.
When they saw them coming, they all surrounded them.
Little Sanqing blushed, took out a yellow fruit and handed it to Ji Xiuran, and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, eat."
Ji Xiuran took it with a smile, and patted his little head appreciatively.
I carefully looked at the fruit in my hand. It was oval in shape and the size of a pigeon's egg. It was golden in color and very beautiful. There was also a faint fruity fragrance wafting to my nose.
Ji Xiuran's appetite was great, and he put it in his mouth. When his teeth closed, the juice burst.
Afterwards, he couldn't help wrinkling his facial features, he unconsciously tightened his shoulders and arms, and waited for the sourness in his mouth to pass, before he yelled: "Huh! It's so sour."
After speaking, he couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe away the sour tears.
Shi Jingchen hurriedly handed over the water bottle he had brought, and asked him to take a sip of water to rinse off.
When he saw Xiuran's actions just now, he knew it was not good, and before he had time to remind him, the man had already eaten the fruit.
Seeing him being soured now, I feel distressed and a little funny.
Ji Xiuran quickly took the kettle, took a big sip, put it in his mouth, rinsed his mouth, diluted the fruity taste just now, and drank a few more sips before he felt better.
Turning her head and looking aside, San Qing, who was covering her mouth and giggling, suddenly became angry, and went over to give him a brainstorm.
Seeing this kid run away screaming, he shook his head in amusing, this kid is already so weak, he can grow up to be okay.
Seeing her younger brother teasing her uncle, Dahong also turned cold, and scolded: "Daqing, Erqing, Sanqing."
Knowing clearly that my uncle is the most disgusting and mischievous, it seems that when I go back, I will let my father teach me a good lesson.
Regardless of whether Sanqing did it alone, the other two would definitely not be able to escape either, so Dahong looked at them one by one with a cold face.
The little brats also knew that they had caused trouble, and seeing their sister's ugly face, they ran away one after another.
Seeing them like this, Dahong jumped aside angrily.
Ji Xiuran had recovered at this time, smiled and comforted him: "Hong Yuan, Mo Qi, it's just that this thing looks good, why is it so sour."
Dahong really couldn't do anything with his younger brothers, seeing that Ji Xiuran didn't pursue him, he stopped holding on to him.
Hearing his question, he explained casually: "This is yellow paozi. It smells very fragrant, but it tastes sour. Even if it is ripe, it is only a little sweet."
Shi Jingchen also looked at him with a smile, and said, "It's too sour, no one would normally eat it."
Ji Xiuran heard the ridicule in his words, and gave him a sideways look, but said nothing.
He just took the yellow paozi and looked at it carefully.
Although it doesn't taste good when eaten alone, it should have a different taste when made into candies.
Moreover, he squeezed the yellow fruit, cut open the peel with his fingernails, and found that the skin is thin, the flesh is rich, and the juice is sufficient, which is not in line with the requirements for wine making.
Speaking of which, this small oval fruit is somewhat similar to grapes, so maybe it can really make good wine.
If so, this trip into the mountains has been very rewarding.
But it's too early to tell at this time, and we have to try to know if it will work.
Ji Xiuran was playing with a yellow bubble in his hand, he raised his eyebrows and thought about it carefully, after a while, he looked up at Shi Jingchen and asked, "Third brother, are there many fruits on this fruit mountain?"
Shi Jingchen glanced lightly at the ugly fruit that Ji Xiuran slapped, nodded calmly, and replied: "There are many hills nearby, and there are also deep mountains."
The yellow paozi is widely distributed, and no one likes to eat it piece by piece. There is no shortage of these on the mountain.
When Ji Xiuran heard it, he immediately became happy, clapped his hands, called the young people back, and ordered: "You help me pick some yellow paozi, and I will cook something delicious for you when I go back."
Erqing dragged Sanqing over, and Sanqing hid behind his second brother, showing half of his face, looked at Ji Xiuran, and asked, "Uncle, if I help you, can I eat too?"
Ji Xiuran bent his lips, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Be good, and you will have it."
Sanqing got an affirmative answer, jumped up excitedly, and hurriedly dragged his second brother to pick fruit.
After a while, he ran back and gave Ji Xiuran a bright red fruit.
Ji Xiuran didn't eat it directly this time, but held it in his hand, sized it up carefully, then looked at Shi Jingchen who was beside him, and asked, "Third Brother, what kind of fruit is this?"
Shi Jingchen glanced at it lightly, and replied: "Wild plums, they taste very astringent."
Ji Xiuran listened, nodded, carefully took a small bite, tasted it, it was indeed very astringent, but it was full of fruity aroma.
If this astringent taste is removed, it is a rare and good raw material.
Thinking about it, he ordered a few young men to pick some wild plums for him.
Shi Jingchen saw that the children were picking fruits seriously, and found that there was nothing wrong with him, so he looked at Ji Xiuran, stretched out his hand to him, smiled slightly, and asked, "Xiu Ran, do you want to go hunting?"
Ji Xiuran's eyes lit up when he heard this, he nodded with a smile, and reached out to grab his hand.
With a gentle smile in his eyes, Shi Jingchen held his hand, told Dahong, and led Ji Xiuran inside.
The two went to a deeper place, squatted in the bushes, and waited patiently for a while before seeing a pheasant.
When he came back, he happened to see a hare again. With quick eyes and hands, Shi Jingchen stabbed the hare to the ground.
Ji Xiuran excitedly looked at the hare brought back by Shi Jingchen, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Third Brother, that's amazing."
It was the first time he saw this man hunting, and it was also the first time he knew that he used such crude tools for hunting.
But with only the simplest wooden spear, it is really amazing to be able to hit so many prey.
Ji Xiuran looked at the wooden spear in his hand, and asked curiously: "Third brother, do you use this for hunting?"
When entering the deep mountains, I also use this. Is it safe?
Shi Jingchen smiled faintly, looked at him and replied, "There is no danger outside."
If you go into the deep mountains, you will naturally have other tools. This wooden spear is only used for self-defense today.
But don't look at it as a simple wooden spear, but it is made of the hardest iron wood, very sharp, enough to deal with ordinary prey.
Hearing this, Ji Xiuran frowned. He didn't seem to have seen bows and arrows at home, so he asked, "Third Brother, don't you need a bow for hunting?"
Shi Jingchen took a deep look at him, and then replied calmly: "Bows and arrows are not for ordinary people."
Great Xia has strict weapons management, bows and arrows, these lethal weapons, they really don't have the means for ordinary people to get them.
Ji Xiuran nodded knowingly, and then he began to think again, thinking that he would definitely get third brother a bow and arrow if he had the chance.
But before that, he had to prepare well for the scientific examination. When he passed the examination, his status was different. Some things should be much easier to do.
When the two returned to the place where the children were, they saw that the baskets on the ground were already full of fruits.
Ji Xiuran nodded in satisfaction, looked at the children with a smile, patted their heads appreciatively, and then spoke back.
The children had had enough fun at this moment, and when they heard Ji Xiuran's words, they obediently picked up the basket and walked back without saying anything.
Fortunately, the baskets on the backs of the children are not big, and they can carry fruit on their backs.
Shi Jingchen also picked up the only big pannier on the ground, picked up other things, and walked back.
Ji Xiuran saw that they were all carrying something, but he was the only one who was empty-handed, so he chased after them and said, "Third brother, let me get some for you."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to take the pheasant and hare in Shi Jingchen's hand.
Shi Jingchen turned away and refused, "Xiu Ran, no need."
The road down the mountain is not easy to walk. This person has never walked before, and he doesn't know whether he is used to walking or not. How can I put more burden on him.
Seeing that he was so persistent, Ji Xiuran had no choice but to follow them down the mountain empty-handed.
Speaking of which, the road down the mountain is really not very easy to walk, and they usually walk a lot on the mountain, and the path they stepped on is not smooth.
He didn't feel it when he went up the mountain, but he felt a little difficult when he went down the mountain. He lowered his head and carefully watched the road along the way, walking carefully step by step.
Seeing how difficult it was for him, Shi Jingchen gathered the things into one hand and held out his free hand to him.
Ji Xiuran didn't try to refuse. He stretched out his hand to grab it, feeling a lot more secure in his heart, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After returning home, Shi Jingchen handed over the pheasants and hares to Mother Ji.
On the other hand, he took a few children and listened to Ji Xiuran's command to deal with the wild fruits.
The yellow paozi is mashed and filtered, and the juice is boiled in a pot.
Put the red plums directly into the pot to cook, stir while cooking, and finally smash the pulp.
After dealing with it, Ji Xiuran made some and tasted it.
After the yellow paozi juice is boiled, although it is still sour, the aroma of the fruit is more intense.
After the red plums are boiled, although they are not very delicious, the astringent taste,
But after watching for a while, he found that he didn't recognize the plants in the mountain.
Although he is not a botanist, it is not likely that he has never seen any of these wild plants, and it is not strange to say that he has not seen any familiar ones.
And he clearly remembered before that the vegetables grown at home were all common varieties, and the crops in the field were also ones he had heard of.
