Chapter 354: We can enter the mountains again
Qiao Xuan has been thinking about the ficus litchi fruit, which should be ripe by now.
Each fruit is slightly larger than an egg. After picking them, take out the packet of finely crushed seeds inside, dry them in the sun, and whenever you want to eat ice jelly, just wash it with water and let it solidify.
The transparent ice jelly was crushed in a bowl, added with the prepared sugar water, a little mint juice, and some other nuts. This was the taste she had been longing for for a long time.
Anyway, there was not much farm work to do after the autumn harvest, so Shao Dalang and Xu did not go up the mountain to chop firewood, so Shao Sanlang and others went into the mountain with Qiao Xuan.
Shao Yunduan just wanted to take a break, so he went along too.
As soon as she entered the mountain and was surrounded by plants, Qiao Xuan became more energetic.
It's just because it's autumn now, so the vitality is not so abundant, and the growth rate of her supernatural powers has also slowed down.
In the first two days, Qiao Xuan planned to look for wild grapes and other things as well.
You should know that wild grapes are the favorite of birds in the mountains and forests. If you don’t hurry to find them, they will be pecked to pieces by the birds in a few days.
The wine yield is quite high. The family has prepared three large porcelain jars, which can hold about 200 kilograms of wild grapes in total.
So, when they picked wild grapes, about 200 kilograms were enough.
When you get back, you have to remove the vines, rotten fruits and bad fruits.
As a vine plant growing in the mountains and forests, wild grapes are naturally wired to climb higher and higher, climbing to the highest tree canopies in order to get more sunlight.
Therefore, picking wild grapes is not that easy.
Of course, there are also wild grapes in low and wide places, but the wild grapes in low places often do not grow well and produce very few fruits.
Shao Xiaoqi felt just like a fish in water once he entered the forest. He instantly became much more agile.
There is never a shortage of wild fruits in the mountains, especially in mountains where there are few people and dense forests.
After a while, Shao Xiaoqi saw wild grapes hanging on the tall Masson pine trees, pointed and said with a smile: "Look! There are grapes over there!"
"Yeah, it really is!"
“It looks delicious!”
"Yeah, I think so too!"
You don't need to ask to know that the only one who said the last two sentences was Shao Sanlang and his wife.
The tree was not too tall and had many thick branches, so it was relatively safe. Shao Xiaoqi tied a bamboo basket around his waist and climbed up quickly, while the others stood under the tree and looked up.
After a while, Shao Xiaoqi came down and picked half a basket.
These freshly picked grapes are a generous gift from nature, so of course you have to taste them first.
They were lucky as no birds had visited the grape tree yet and the bunches were quite complete. Each bunch was about the size of three fingers and as long as a palm. The black grapes were the size of fingers and grew very compactly together.
Although it's a small bunch, it's very beautiful.
Everyone shared a taste, and it was sweet and slightly sour at first, with a unique freshness of the mountains and forests.
"tasty!"
“Very good!”
"Of course, we get a lot of it every year!"
Qiao Xuan also likes this taste, which has a little bit of sourness and is better for making wine.
A few people continued walking forward while eating wild grapes.
Qiao Xuan used her special ability and chose the direction where wild grapes grew more.
Soon, they came across a patch of mixed woods where there were a lot of wild grapes growing thrivingly.
“Wow, that’s a lot!”
“There are so many indeed!”
