Xiao Tian walked over and saw that there were indeed many little hearts; the fruit was really cute.
Xiao Tian took one and put it in his mouth. After he finished eating, he picked up a few more clean shorts fruits and ate them, saying as he ate, "These fruits taste good."
Chen Kai also ate one; the taste was similar to a cherry, sweet and sour. He then remembered what this fruit was; he had only eaten it once before. It was difficult to preserve and transport, and he had only eaten it once during a trip.
This wild fruit's scientific name is *Corydalis esculenta*, but it's possible that because we often call it "Underpants Fruit," which is too vulgar to be recorded, we changed its scientific name to the homophonous *Corydalis esculenta*. Although we call it "Underpants Fruit," a rather rustic name, it's still a very descriptive and vivid name.
Of course, it is also called love fruit, forked fruit, love fruit, goat milk fruit, etc. in many places.
Bitter oranges are not only delicious but also a natural source of nutrition. They contain essential proteins, minerals, amino acids, and vitamins. The phosphorus content of bitter oranges is the highest among fruit trees, and their calcium content is 25 times that of apples. Because of these beneficial substances, bitter oranges offer numerous health benefits. For example, their high calcium content can help prevent osteoporosis – so don't assume that fruit can't provide calcium! Bitter oranges are also rich in iron, effectively preventing and treating iron-deficiency anemia and promoting overall health. Furthermore, the various amino acids and vitamins in bitter oranges can contribute to beauty, skin health, and anti-aging.
The bittersweet cherry has a wonderful taste, with tender, sweet, and juicy flesh. Its pit is small and soft, making it difficult to notice when eating. Moreover, this fruit tastes sweet and similar to cherries, so it is also known as "seedless cherry".
Given that such bizarre fruits can grow, one can't help but be curious about their flowers. The flowers of the bitter candy are funnel-shaped, like twins. After the flowers wither, the fruits that grow are joined together near the flower stalk, thus forming the shape of underwear.
Chen Kai said, "Da Ya, make a lot of juice from these 'underpants fruit' later."
Da Ya smiled and said, "Uncle, you like to eat 'underpants fruit' too? I like to eat it too, then I'll save some more."
Xiao Tian said, "Leave some for me too."
Chen Kai shook his head and said, "No, you guys eat more."
"Huh?" Daya was a little confused.
Chen Kai explained, "I read in a book that this fruit can beautify the skin, so I wanted you to eat more of it."
Sanya asked excitedly, "Really? Then I'll have to eat more of these 'underpants fruit'!"
Daya happily replied, "In that case, I'll have them pick more 'underpants fruit' (a type of fruit)."
Not long after, Chen Lao Er's wife and Chen Xiaohua returned in their oxcart. Now, Chen Xiaohua went with Chen Lao Er's wife to deliver cold drinks to the restaurant in town.
When Xiao Bao saw his mother, he immediately ran over and excitedly said, "Mom, Grandma left you some chicken soup and steamed buns. They're so delicious!" As he spoke, Xiao Bao remembered how delicious the chicken soup was and secretly swallowed.
Chen Xiaohua picked up Xiaobao and said happily, "Okay, let's go have some chicken soup."
Chen Xiaohua came out carrying a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Little brothers, would you like to come and have some chicken soup with us?"
Chen Kai said with a smile, "No need, sis, we've all had our drinks, you guys drink!"
Wu Dahai came out with a steamed bun, and asked while eating, "There will be a flower festival in the county tomorrow. Do you want to get some food to sell?"
Chen Kai said, "Let's go. We'll sell cold drinks tomorrow. I've already discussed it with my dad. We'll split the profits 30/70."
Wu Dahai asked curiously, "What do you kids need so much money for?"
Chen Kai said with a smile, "We're not allowed to touch the money at home, so we have to earn it ourselves. We even pay part of your wages!"
Wu Xiaobao said admiringly, "Dad, my uncles are really good at making money. I want to make money with them too."
Wu Dahai said helplessly, "Fine! Then Xiaobao can go and make money with them!"
Chen Kai felt that his brother-in-law didn't believe what they said at all, and was just coaxing Xiao Bao.
Chen Kai asked, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you take your head injury to a doctor to get it checked out, put on some medicine, and bandage it?" It was obvious that his brother-in-law's forehead injury had been treated with some medicine and bandaged up by his family.
Chen Xiaohua said angrily from the side, "Your brother-in-law is just afraid of spending money. He said he could just apply some medicine at home. He's an idiot. He didn't even know to apply some medicine after being beaten. He didn't dare to go home because he was afraid we would find out."
Wu Dahai said, "I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while, no need to waste money to see a doctor."
Chen Kai sighed helplessly. His brother-in-law really would endure anything to avoid spending money. This is what they mean by "poor people can't afford to get sick"!
Wu Dahai's parents also advised him, "Son, why don't you go see a doctor? After all, you've injured your head."
Chen Kai said directly, "Sis, take your brother-in-law to see a doctor later."
While eating, Chen Xiaohua said, "Okay! I'll take him there in a bit and make sure he gets a proper doctor's visit."
After a while, Chen Kai's uncle came over.
When Chen Lao Er saw them, he immediately stopped what he was doing and came over to greet them.
Chen Lao Er said happily, "Uncle, my parents have gone to the fields. Please sit down for a while, and I'll send someone to call them back."
Uncle Zhou said, "No need, I'll go find them myself later."
Chen Kai and the others greeted him with smiles.
When Uncle Zhou's grandson saw Da Ya and the others making juice, he excitedly asked, "Is this how you make all the iced juice that you send over? It's so delicious!"
Daya smiled and said, "Yes, come on, I'll teach you how to do this."
Chen Lao Er asked Da Ya and the others to go to the kitchen and bring out the chilled juice for everyone to drink. The juice they drank at home was pure juice, without any water, but the juice they sold outside was usually diluted with water.
When Zhou's granddaughter saw the juice, she immediately said happily, "I want to drink mulberry juice, the kind with ice."
Chen Kai's cousin, Zhou Cheng, picked him up and said, "Chen Kai, your cousin brought you something. Can you guess what it is?"
Chen Kai said with a smile, "Cousin, is it a mountain product?"
Zhou Cheng laughed and said, "Chen Kai is really clever. It's a mountain product, a pheasant."
As soon as Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he put Chen Kai down and then took out the hidden chicken coop.
