Chapter 201 Jujube Tree



"Haha, brothers, Yiyi has already tasted it for you. The wild grapes are very sweet and delicious."

"To find wild grapes in the mountains at this time, not to mention you, I was also a little shocked when I found them."

"The drought of the past two years has affected the wild grape production. Otherwise, based on the wild grape vine I saw, it could have produced 70 or 80 bunches of wild grapes."

"The yield was low this year. I only picked 36 bunches of wild grapes from this vine. But we should be content."

"Yiyi is right. We're all lucky to find delicious fruit that doesn't cost money. Let's not worry about the quantity."

"Second brother is right. This big basket of wild grapes Yiyi picked is enough for us to have a meal. Haha, even though we haven't eaten them yet, I can smell the sweet fragrance of the grapes."

Yun Yiyi looked at Third Brother Yun's intoxicated expression and felt like laughing.

Yun Yiyi took out a bunch of wild grapes from the basket and handed it to Big Brother Yun, "Big Brother, share this bunch of wild grapes."

"Okay, second brother, third brother, Zirui, come over here, help yourselves to the grapes, and let's try some delicious wild fruits."

As soon as Brother Yun finished speaking, everyone gathered around and picked some grapes. Third Brother Yun even stuffed several grapes into Yun Yiyi's mouth.

Yun Yiyi happily ate it. It was so fragrant and sweet. It was so delicious.

"This wild grape is so delicious." Brother Yun San happily hugged Yun Yiyi and spun around.

"Third brother, we'll go back soon, wash up, and everyone can eat."

"Yiyi is right. Let's hurry up and dig some wild vegetables. We'll go back later and let our father and mother taste these delicious wild grapes."

"Yiyi, tell us what other wild vegetables you've found and we'll go dig them up."

Yun Yiyi walked forward with her hands behind her back, "Brother, come with me."

Brother Yun carried a basket on his back and followed Yun Yiyi forward.

"Brother, this small piece is delicious shepherd's purse. There is also gray-gray grass next to it, and a little higher up, there are also many bitter vegetables."

Yun Yiyi pointed to this small area and showed it to Brother Yun and the others.

"Yiyi, we don't need you to dig wild vegetables here. Go sit down and rest for a while."

"Yiyi, wait here until we finish digging up these wild vegetables. Then we'll go home."

"There are so many wild vegetables here. Yiyi's eyes are so sharp. If I had come here to look for them myself, I wouldn't have been willing to come so far."

After hearing what Third Brother Yun said, Yun Yiyi couldn't help but laugh, "Third Brother, you're just lazy and don't want to walk more."

"Hey, Yiyi, how can you just tell the truth!"

After hearing what Third Brother Yun said, Big Brother Yun and the others also burst into laughter.

In fact, going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables requires more than just diligence. Sometimes you are unlucky and really can’t pick many wild vegetables.

"Zirui, you and Yiyi can take a rest together. A few of us can do the digging." Brother Yun suddenly raised his head and said to Xie Zirui.

"Thank you, big brother. Then Yiyi and I will go play together."

"Go, go." Brother Yun dug wild vegetables without even raising his head.

"Brother Zirui, come here and rest for a while. I'll take you to pick wild garlic sprouts later. Wild garlic sprouts are delicious when stir-fried, with scrambled eggs, or pickled."

"Brother Zirui, look, this is what it looks like. Actually, it's very nice. It smells like garlic, and it's either small roots of garlic or wild garlic sprouts."

"However, the stems of small-root garlic are thin, while wild garlic sprouts, like the garlic we grow at home, have thick stems and a stronger garlic flavor."

Xie Zirui looked carefully at the wild garlic sprouts in Yun Yiyi's hand. He was worried that he had remembered it wrong, so he picked it up and took a look.

"Yiyi. Don't worry, I've memorized the appearance of wild garlic sprouts. And I dug up a lot of small garlic roots at noon, so I won't confuse the two."

"Brother Zirui, you learn so quickly."

Xie Zirui's ears turned red. "Yiyi, how can you be so exaggerated? I see you all know a lot of wild vegetables, but I only know a few."

"Brother Zirui, we've been running in the mountains since we were young, so isn't it normal for us to know wild vegetables?"

Yun Yiyi tilted her head and looked at Xie Zirui. "Brother Zirui, you've probably never dug wild vegetables before, right? At noon, I saw you were so unfamiliar with holding a shovel."

Xie Zirui opened his eyes wide and looked at Yun Yiyi, "Yiyi, you are really observant. I have never done this kind of work at home."

"That's not that difficult. Brother Zirui, just stretch out your hands and take a closer look and you'll understand. Your hands look like they've never worked before."

"Look at my hands again. Are there calluses on them? They are not as delicate as yours."

Xie Zirui stretched out his hands and compared them with Yun Yiyi's chubby hands. It must be said that these hands that have done work can really be seen.

"Brother Zirui, come on, I'll take you to pick wild garlic sprouts. There are more of them near the big rock in front."

Yun Yiyi walked in front and Xie Zirui followed behind, and the two set out to pick wild garlic sprouts.

"Brother Zirui, look, the wild garlic sprouts are mixed in with the weeds. You need to take a closer look."

Yun Yiyi pushed aside a clump of weeds and pulled out two wild garlic sprouts.

Xie Zirui looked at the weeds around him and said, "Yiyi, I'll look for it myself."

So, the two of them separated to pull the wild garlic sprouts. As they pulled, Yun Yiyi climbed further up the mountain.

Fortunately, there are no tall trees in this area, so Xie Zirui can see Yun Yiyi just by looking up.

Yun Yiyi pulled up a bunch of wild garlic sprouts and a few wild onions. Suddenly, she saw a tall jujube tree.

There were many bright red jujubes hanging on the jujube tree. Yun Yiyi picked one and put it in her mouth to eat.

The jujubes are fully ripe, very sweet, without a hint of sourness, and very delicious. The downside is that they were picked too late, so they are a little less moist and not crispy.

However, Yun Yiyi happily picked several wild dates and ate them. Zhang planned to save the red dates she had bought in the capital last time and make porridge with them during the winter.

It is a pleasant surprise to find jujube in the mountains now. Although jujube trees are not picky about where they grow, the lack of sunlight in the woods is not suitable for their growth.

Yun Yiyi stood up and looked around. There were no large trees around, only thorns and weeds. The sunlight was also very sufficient, making it very suitable for the growth of jujube trees.

Since we have found a jujube tree, there must be more jujube trees around it.

Yun Yiyi put down the wild garlic sprouts and wild onions in her hands and started walking around.

Hard work pays off. Yun Yiyi found two tall jujube trees more than ten meters above. The trees were also full of bright red jujubes.

However, Yun Yiyi couldn't find any other jujube trees no matter how hard she looked.

"Brother, Brother, are you almost done digging up wild vegetables? I found several wild jujube trees here.
