Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 439: There are traces of chestnut trees

The three farmers were speechless as they looked at the fruit in front of them. Zhuzi said, "This thing tastes so bitter. After eating it, I feel like I can't open my mouth. Drinking water doesn't help. It will take a long time to recover."

These persimmons are small in size, mostly green, with a small number of them showing a little yellow. This may be because the temperature in the mountains is low, causing the fruits to mature later.

Zheng Sisi: "That's because the persimmons you eat are not ripe yet. The green ones are inedible and very astringent. It's better when the skin is yellow, but it's still hard. When the skin is red, it's ripe, soft to the touch, and it will break if you apply force, and the flesh inside is very sweet.

Also, when eating persimmons, the juice inside must not fall on clothes, as it will leave marks that cannot be washed off. "

The three farmers smiled as they recalled the past. Zhuzi said, "We didn't know. One time we saw some green fruits and thought they were edible, so we all went to pick them. A few of us ate them, but no one spoke for a long time. Hehe!"

Zheng Sisi: "Persimmons should be peeled. If you eat them with the skin, it must be very astringent."

Everyone suddenly realized that there are so many things to pay attention to when eating persimmons. "

Zheng Sisi looked at the persimmon tree in front of her and said, "Since they are not ripe yet, wait a little longer. When the skin turns yellow, you can pick them and take them back. I will buy them for two cents per pound."

The three of them answered in unison: "Okay!" No one would refuse something that could make money.

Zhuzi asked again, "The yellow ones are not ripe yet. Princess, you can't eat them even if you take them. Isn't that a waste?"

Zheng Sisi: "I want the ones that are not fully ripe yet. I have ways to deal with them. Once they are fully ripe, they can't be kept for long if you pick them."

The three nodded: "Okay, we got it."

Zheng Sisi thought about it and decided to ask them first: "Have you seen a kind of fruit covered with thorns on the mountain? It's very prickly."

After saying this, everyone looked at the three of them expectantly.

Da Zhuang said, "I know there are two kinds of thorns, one is very small, and the other is big."

Zheng Sisi said excitedly: "Isn't its leaves oval, with thorns on the edges, like a sickle?"

Big Cow Zhuang shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to this, because no one touches it. If they see it, they will avoid it for fear of being pricked."

Zheng Sisi: "Do you remember where to find it?"

Da Zhuang: "It's not in this forest. We have to climb over a few mountains to find it. It's also on the outskirts."

Daniu thought for a while before saying, "I remember there was a large forest on the hillside of the next village. The fruits they produced were thorn balls, which were very prickly. No one wanted to go to that hillside to cut firewood.

In the past, someone wore straw sandals to chop wood, and when he came back, his feet were swollen from being pricked. Later, he used a needle to prick more than a hundred holes. And the elders also taught children not to go there, for fear of being pricked.

Zhong Ruiyu said: "Of course it is. I have been pricked by them before. They were all small thorns. It hurt so much."

Daniu asked curiously, "Mr. Zhong has been there."

Zhong Ruiyu: "No, I was stabbed somewhere else, and Qingfeng was also stabbed." Zhong Ruiyu also dragged Qingfeng out.

"Haha!" Qingfeng laughed dryly. "I was hunting in the mountains and got stabbed. Master Zhong got stabbed because he tried to grab the food with his hands because it was delicious."

Hurt each other, come on! I'm not afraid!

The three of them were even more puzzled. Zhuzi asked: "Can that thing be eaten?"

Zheng Sisi said excitedly, "That's good stuff. The small ones are called hairy chestnuts, and the big ones are called chestnuts. They can be eaten and are very fragrant. Since there are traces of chestnut trees, we can go back from there at night. The chestnuts are ripe by now. We can take some back and cook for everyone tonight. I guarantee that the fragrance will make your tongues fall off."

“Gu~~” “Gu~~”

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, it was Zhong Ruiyu's stomach growling. Zheng Sisi was speechless, this Zhong Ruiyu must be a monkey sent by God, how could he be so funny.

Sheng Zhen said, "There's a sound of water ahead, where should we go to have lunch?"

Everyone nodded, and Master Ye led everyone towards the place where the sound of water came from.

Not far away, I saw a small stream. The stream was not big, and the water was very clear, flowing down the mountain.

Sheng Zhen said, "This is a slope, not suitable for resting. Let's walk up and see if there is any flat ground."

Sheng Zhen took Zheng Sisi's hand and asked her to walk in front. The slope was a bit steep and it was not easy to walk, and he was afraid that she would fall.

Zheng Sisi suddenly pointed to the slope and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, there are grapes there, and they are ripe."

Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu asked at the same time: "Where? Where?"

Zheng Sisi pointed to a clump of green vines halfway up the mountain and said, "Over there, there are bunches of green grapes hanging below."

"Green? Aren't the grapes we eat purple?" Zhong Ruiyu asked puzzledly.
