After eating a passion fruit, Ye Yulian became very interested in the place that Chen Suwen had mentioned, where many passion fruits grew.
So, after resting for a short while, Chen Suwen put down a sack of passion fruit, picked up another sack, and followed Ye Yulian out.
This time, it wasn't just the two of them; Xu Huixue also went out with them, while Shen Wenxiu left her child with Zhou Cunzong and went out with them as well.
Some neighbors who got along well with Chen Suwen and her two daughters-in-law, as well as some who got along well with Ye Yulian and her daughters-in-law, also went along.
There were a total of twenty or nearly thirty people, a large group of them following Chen Suwen to the place where she picked passion fruit.
Those with bicycles ride them, and those without walk; they know their destination anyway.
Chen Suwen led the way, and they soon arrived at the place where she picked passion fruit.
"It really is a wild passion fruit? This place must be so remote!"
When a group of people were picking passion fruit, they saw the challenging environment in which some of the passion fruit plants grew and truly believed that these passion fruit plants were wild.
Some grow in thickets of thorns, some in clusters of mimosa pudica, and some on the edge of cliffs.
With such a tricky angle and such a tricky environment, how could it possibly grow in such a place if it were artificially planted?
Chen Suwen didn't care what others thought, and picked a lot more passion fruit with her two daughters-in-law.
Xu Huixue was pregnant, and Chen Suwen didn't want her to work too hard, so she asked her to find a slightly nice place to pick fruit.
We didn't let her carry the sacks filled with passion fruit; with her four or five months pregnant, it was best not to carry heavy things.
"This passion fruit is so delicious!"
Although they didn't bring spoons, the group did bring knives, so they could cut open the passion fruit and eat the pulp directly while picking it.
"Ouch, so sour."
One person ate a pure, sour passion fruit and their face scrunched up. They gasped and felt their mouth watering uncontrollably.
"Why did you taste the sour one? This kind is tastier, especially sweet." Another person showed her a golden passion fruit, glancing at the color of the passion fruit shell in the other person's hand.
She noted down the color of the passion fruit; if you don't like sour flavors, don't pick this kind.
Xu Huixue didn't mind at all. After becoming pregnant, she liked to eat all kinds of flavors, whether it was sweet, sour, or spicy.
Of course, she likes spicy food, and it's impossible for her to suddenly change from the taste of a Cantonese person to the taste of a Sichuan or Hunan person.
Xu Huixue likes sour foods, so she really likes this pure sour passion fruit.
Chen Suwen made this purely sour passion fruit mainly to use as a condiment.
Use it as a natural vinegar to pickle all sorts of delicious things. The pickled items will also have the aroma of passion fruit, making them even tastier.
"Mom, have you picked enough?" After eating a purely sour passion fruit, Xu Huixue ate a purely sweet one.
Seeing that the sack beside her was already full of passion fruit, she reminded Chen Suwen.
"It's already full?"
Whether it's picking fruit or wild vegetables, it can make people lose themselves in the moment.
I really enjoy the process of picking them. Whether anyone likes to eat the fruits and vegetables I pick, or whether we can finish them, is not a concern.
Chen Suwen was in this situation.
She grows passion fruit simply for fun; whether she can finish eating all that fruit is not even a consideration for her.
Of course, if no one knows about these passion fruits and there are too many to eat, it's okay to give them to the small animals in the mountains.
She believed that the small animals in the mountains would also like this sweet passion fruit.
Chen Suwen looked at the passion fruit covering the mountain. Every vine was laden with fruit. If it weren't for the passion fruit vines twining around the tall trees and sturdy shrubs, so many fruits would have weighed down the vines.
Even when passion fruit vines twine around the branches of shrubs and trees, the branches are bent low by the weight of the abundant fruit.
That's such a pity.
She wanted to keep picking passion fruit even though there were so many.
These passion fruit orchards, covering more than ten acres, can yield over five thousand catties or even more passion fruit per acre. Chen Suwen and her group each picked one hundred catties, and the output from one acre of land was more than enough to consume.
So we need to let more people know about these passion fruits, so that we don't have to worry about not being able to eat all the fruit in the mountains.
Looking at all these passion fruits, Chen Suwen sat on a rock to the side and pondered. She didn't seem to particularly like passion fruits, and she could eat them at every meal.
It seems we still need to find a way to get some other fruits. We can also take better care of the strawberries growing in her yard.
Once the strawberries produce more fruit, she won't have to worry about running out of fruit.
Actually, the strawberry plants at home are growing very well. Each plant produces a lot of fruit, and we can make jam from the surplus.
Shen Wenxiu also made strawberry cakes with strawberries. Whether using strawberry jam or fresh strawberries, she made strawberry cakes and strawberry bread several times.
"Mom, can passion fruit be used to make bread or cakes?" Shen Wenxiu asked Chen Suwen while sitting next to Xu Huixue, eating fruit as she did so.
Fruit-based breads are quite popular; for example, the strawberry bread she made last time was especially well-received.
Whether strawberries are incorporated into the dough or used simply as a filling for bread, everyone loves strawberry bread.
Strawberry cake goes without saying; everyone in the family, adults and children alike, loves it.
Shen Wenxiu did not bake cakes often; her cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative was in the sale of bread, not cakes.
