Chapter 436 Pecan
Chapter 436 Pecan
Zhong Ruiyu finally vomited everything out. He was furious: "I worked so hard to pick these wild fruits, but I can't even eat them. Ah!"
He was about to throw it away, but Zheng Sisi stopped him in time: "Don't throw it away, give it to me."
Then she took all the wild hawthorns from Zhong Ruiyu's clothes and put them into the cloth bag he carried with him. Zhong Ruiyu asked in confusion: "They are so sour, why do you keep them?"
Zheng Sisi: "Take it back and give it to you to eat!"
Zhong Ruiyu: "I won't eat it, I won't eat it even if you kill me, it's so sour that I'm questioning my life."
Everyone laughed unkindly again, and Zheng Sisi took the hawthorns from Zheng Zhiyuan, Zheng Laoguogong, and Sheng Zhen. Then he said, "You will eat it. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet."
Zhong Ruiyu learned his lesson this time and didn't make a fuss at the beginning. He thought about it and felt that there was a trap. He approached Zheng Zhiyuan and said, "Brother, do you think this bet is worth making?"
Zheng Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "Are you stupid? Every time my cousin said this, she was launching a new product. If you are stupid, just bet with her."
Zhong Ruiyu patted Zheng Zhiyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, thank you for reminding me, hehe!"
Then he tried to please Zheng Sisi like a lackey and didn't mention the bet anymore: "Sister Sisi, do you still want that hawthorn? I'll go pick some more for you."
Zheng Sisi looked at him. Hey! This kid suddenly became smart. He didn't get angry all of a sudden. He even knew to find a military advisor. This was not fun. She said, "No need. I can't afford it."
Zhong Ruiyu: "I can recite it, hehe!"
Zheng Sisi said, "We have to go to other places today. If you have time, you can come back tomorrow to pick them."
After getting the confirmation, Zhong Ruiyu felt relieved, at least there would be delicious food.
Zheng Sisi confirmed the direction with the three farmers, and everyone continued to move forward.
As they walked, Master Ye, who was leading the way in front, waved his hand and everyone stopped. He leaped a few times and disappeared behind a tree. After a while, he came back with two pheasants in one hand and seven or eight pheasant eggs in the other. He couldn't hold them all in his hands, so he held them in front of his chest with his arms.
Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu had never really hunted, they had only been to the royal hunting ground. Now seeing Master Ye bring back a pheasant in just a few minutes, they were extremely excited and immediately ran to catch it.
Duke Zheng smiled and said, "Master Ye is amazing!"
Several guards were also very admiring, and the three farmers were stunned. This man was just the princess's coachman, with an ordinary appearance, but they didn't expect him to have such excellent skills and catch two pheasants in just a few breaths.
Every time they went up the mountain and saw a pheasant, several people would chase and intercept it, and they would have to run until they were exhausted before they could catch it. Master Ye was so amazing, it was like catching a chicken in a chicken coop. The three of them envied Master Ye's skills.
If they knew that Master Ye was the best among the secret guards, I wonder what they would think.
Sheng Zhen put all the eggs into a small bamboo basket he was carrying and covered it with cloth.
Zhong Ruiyu said he wanted to ask, but Sheng Zhen refused: "You can't even walk steadily, and if you fall, you won't have anything to eat."
Zheng Zhiyuan saw that he was curious about everything, so he carried him away.
Zheng Sisi approached the basket and touched the pheasant eggs, then put them all into the space. The two looked at each other and smiled. This was a trick they had agreed upon.
As they continued to move forward, there were more and more thatched grass and short branches. Occasionally, there were wild rabbits in there, but they did not escape the hands of Duke Zheng and several guards.
The task of carrying the backpack was given to Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu. At the beginning, Zhong Ruiyu was very excited when he carried two babies, but when it came to four, Zhong Ruiyu found it a bit difficult to carry after a long time and kept complaining.
It was difficult for a nobleman to carry such heavy things, so Dazhuang took his backpack out of pity. Zhong Ruiyu was so grateful that he became friends with them right away.
Zheng Sisi rested her hands on the tree trunk, took out the kettle and drank a few sips of water. She looked around and saw that the trees here had not been cut down much, they were all very strong and tall, and there were many dead leaves on the ground.
Suddenly Zheng Sisi saw bunches of green fruits hanging on a tree more than ten feet high. Why do they look so much like pecans?
Zheng Sisi shouted happily: "Let's go over there and take a look. The fruits on that tree are edible."
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the tree was full of bunches of green fruits, and it was approved by Zheng Sisi. They also ran over there in anticipation.
Arriving under the tree, Daniu said to Zheng Sisi seriously, "Princess, you can't eat this. The seeds inside are too hard and bitter!"
Zheng Sisi looked at the hickory nut in front of her and was secretly delighted that she had finally found it.
