There were already many people on the mountain at this time.
Tang Wan also saw several male educated youths from the educated youth group with Sister Yanhong.
The distribution of these wild fruit trees is uneven, but due to their large number, they can be seen everywhere.
It was not noticeable when we first climbed the mountain, but now it is full of yellow fruits hanging on it, which really makes people happy.
Grandma Bai took Tang Wan inside. According to Grandma Bai's idea, the fruits they picked today were to be taken back to be made into dried fruits and jams, so they wanted to pick the ones that were ripe.
Tang Wan certainly had no objection. She didn't mind buying and selling fruits to earn some food. Instead, she was very interested in the dried fruits that Grandma Bai mentioned.
This wild fruit has no proper name, and Tang Wan has never seen it before, but the villagers call it "yellow honey".
Because when it is fully ripe it is very sweet, like honey.
Grandma Bai has been in the village for a long time and knows exactly which trees have the best fruits.
She led Tang Wan and Qin Zheng around crowded areas and came to a small area with less dense wild fruit trees. She pointed to a tree and said to Qin Zheng, "Let's get started."
Qin Zheng was very familiar with doing such things and climbed up the tree in just three or two steps.
Qin Zheng picked the fruits by himself, while Tang Wan and Grandma Bai held up the net bag to catch the fruits thrown by Qin Zheng.
At the beginning, Grandma Bai let Tang Wan taste the good fruits.
Now it is just ripe, nine parts sweet and one part sour, just right.
There is only a small pit in the middle, and the taste is very similar to a peach.
No wonder this kind of fruit can be exchanged for food today.
In this era when sweetness is scarce, it is rare to taste something so sweet.
After the exchange with the supply and marketing cooperative, the cooperative can provide the people in the town with more fruit choices, which can be regarded as improving their quality of life.
In one day, they picked nearly two large baskets of good fruits, not to mention other large families.
Especially children, they can climb trees as nimbly as little monkeys.
Many villagers carried the goods down the river again and again.
The team leader had been waiting at the foot of the mountain since noon. When he arrived, he put the goods directly onto the ox cart, and then people sent by the village took them to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.
When Tang Wan and Grandma Bai went down the mountain, there was already a long queue at the captain's place.
Many people on the mountain were unwilling to leave. They planned to have a simple dinner and then pick fruits all night long under the moonlight.
No one would think something is too much if it can be exchanged for food.
Even if someone came down the mountain like Tang Wan, they would go back to cook and come back later.
Of course, Grandma Bai and Tang Wan would not go up the mountain.
When they got home, Qin Zheng had already washed the fruits they had picked in a large basin in the backyard.
The educated youths didn't plan to rest tonight, so Grandma Bai asked Tang Wan to sleep here tonight, as it would not be safe for her to go back alone.
Grandma Bai made some simple food, and the three of them started working after they finished eating.
Grandma Bai found two clean basket cloths and asked Qin Zheng and Tang Wan to wash the fruits in the basin, dry them, and then put them into another basin.
Grandma Bai was the one who prepared the fruits.
It's an easy job, and you can chat.
"If it's sunny these few days, it will be ready after seven or eight days of drying. I'll make some more and you can mail it to your home to try." Grandma Bai said to Tang Wan.
