After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 60 August Melon and Passionflower

On the old Dongshan.

Shen Jiashu opened the way ahead with a sickle.

Shen Qiuqiu and Li Mao walked in the middle.

Song Na walked last, still holding the gimbal in her hand to shoot.

Song Na is a minor and it is inconvenient to appear on camera, so she was asked to shoot.

The natural scenery of nature is refreshing.

Along the way, when he saw beautiful scenery or strange wild flowers and fruits, Li Mao would go up to take pictures with concave shapes.

Shen Qiuqiu, a young expert at taking pictures, snapped pictures of her with his mobile phone, and took many good-looking photos.

Li Mao flipped through the photos on the phone, feeling very satisfied.

"This one looks good, this one looks good too, wow wow wow, this one is super pretty, it's a blockbuster movie.

Aqiu, the group of photos you took for me are much better than the photos of people checking in at tourist attractions.

When I go back later, I will post to Jiugongge's circle of friends. I am envious of the little friends in the circle of friends, hahaha. "

Shen Qiuqiu also took a lot of pictures of Song Na.

The little girl was a little shy at first, coy.

Li Mao gave her his sunglasses to wear, and taught her how to make concave shapes.

How to compare gestures, where to put your feet, where to look with your eyes...

Gradually, Song Na also let go, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

The photos taken are natural and beautiful.

The three girls get together and take pictures endlessly.

In addition to landscape photos, I also took a lot of funny selfies.

Shen Jiashu, who was opening the way ahead, was very helpless. After walking for a while, he had to stop and wait for them for a while.

From the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, I walked for more than two hours.

Shen Jiashu didn't dare to urge him, he just rolled his eyes.

After finally taking enough pictures, Shen Qiuqiu got lost again and couldn't find the passion flower.

After walking around the mountain for a long time, I found a few August melons.

This kind of fruit looks a bit like a banana. When ripe, it turns a beautiful purple-red color. The peel will explode, revealing the transparent white flesh inside, like a big fat worm.

This kind of fruit is rare in the market, and it was the first time Li Mao saw it, so he picked one by chance.

"Is this edible?"

This is the sentence she said the most today besides taking pictures.

Every time she sees a kind of wild fruit, she has to ask a question.

Along the way, she almost tasted all the edible wild fruits on the mountain.

Sour, bitter, and astringent, all tasted, and I still enjoy it.

Shen Jiashu nodded, "This is very delicious."

As he said that, he also picked an exploded August melon, peeled off the peel, and took a big bite of the flesh.

Then spit out the seeds "chug chug".

Li Mao was amused, "Hahaha, brother, you look like a pea shooter."

Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help laughing, the flesh of the August melon is actually pretty good, but she has never liked it.

Because its seeds are large and numerous, the pulp has only a thin layer, and the pulp and seeds are connected together, so it is troublesome to eat.

Either spit out the seeds like Shen Jiashu, or chew the seeds and pulp together and eat them.

Spitting out the seeds was too troublesome, and it didn't taste good after chewing them together, so Shen Qiuqiu simply stopped eating them.

Li Mao followed Shen Jiashu's example, peeled off the peel, took a big bite of the flesh, and his eyes lit up immediately, "It's delicious!"

The flesh of August melon is soft and glutinous, with a sweet and refreshing taste and a very special taste.

Song Na didn't really like to eat this either, but seeing how delicious the two of them were, she couldn't hold back and picked one to eat.

Seeing the three of them spitting out seeds like a competition, Shen Qiuqiu laughed for a while, then picked up the basket and started picking August melons.

Grandma also likes to eat this, pick some back for her to taste, and Li Mao can bring some back for her when she leaves.

After picking half a basket of August melons, the three of them had almost finished eating, and there were a lot of black seeds on the ground.

In fact, compared with the pulp, the seeds of August melon are more edible, not only can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, laxative; after drying, they can also be used to extract oil.

Shen Qiuqiu also thought about planting August melons on a large scale before, but after comprehensive consideration, he dismissed the idea.

The audience of this niche fruit is too narrow, it is difficult to manage and transport, so it is not considered for the time being.

Shen Jiashu glanced at his watch, it was past four o'clock, and said: "Sister, it's almost time, let's go back."

Shen Qiuqiu felt a little regretful that he couldn't find the passionflower, and nodded listlessly, "Well, let's go back."

On the way down the mountain, Shen Qiuqiu was a little absent-minded.

Li Mao couldn't help asking her, "What are you thinking, it seems like you've lost your soul."

Shen Qiuqiu sighed, "The last time I came here, I saw a piece of passionflower. It grew very well. I wanted to bring you to pick it today, but I couldn't find it."

Li Mao couldn't help laughing, "Have you forgotten your road-crazy attributes?"

Song Na, who was walking behind the two of them, suddenly said, "Sister, so you wanted to find that piece of passionflower. I remember the way, it's near here, do you want to go?"

What is another village in the shade of willows and bright flowers, this is it.

Shen Qiuqiu nodded happily, "Of course."

Song Na had a good sense of direction, and led them around for a while, and finally found the piece of passionflower that Shen Qiuqiu had been looking for but failed.

The vines of passionflower are either entwined on the branches or hung in the thorn bushes, and they grow very vigorously.

There are many fruits hanging on the vines, the colors are different shades of yellow, like small lanterns, very beautiful.

There are still many fallen fruits on the ground, with golden skin, shriveled and wrinkled.

Shen Qiuqiu squatted on the ground, picked up these crumpled fruits that fell on the ground with tongs.

Li Mao asked curiously: "Can you eat the ones that fall on the ground?"

Shen Qiuqiu replied with a smile: "Yes, don't waste it."

Shen Jiashu, who was at the side, kindly gave her a science introduction, "Sister Maung, you don't understand now, the passionflower will fall to the ground when it is ripe, this shriveled and wrinkled fruit is the sweetest and most delicious."

Li Mao was half-believing when he heard this, he casually picked up a dry wrinkled fruit on the ground, and wiped it on his pants.

Then bite it open, and the sweet juice explodes in your mouth with the unique fragrance of passion fruit.

The taste is amazing.

Li Mao narrowed his eyes, "Well... this is delicious, not sour at all, I like it."

This piece of passionflower produced a lot of fruits, except for the immature ones, Shen Qiuqiu planned to pick them all back, especially those that fell on the ground.

The four of them worked for more than an hour, harvesting two large baskets full of passion fruit.

I have experienced the fun of picking, but it is really tiring to be tired.

While wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Mao sighed, "This is too much, when will I eat it?"

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said: "How can I eat so much, this is for planting."

Li Mao was stunned for a moment before he realized, "For seeding? Are you going to plant this fruit?"

Shen Qiuqiu nodded noncommittally.

Li Mao blinked, "You can really make troubles, the strawberries are only planted, and you are trying to plant the passionflower."

"I plan to grow watermelons next year. When the conditions are ripe, I also want to grow peaches and oranges... I really want to grow delicious fruits."

While talking, Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help laughing, with a very cheerful tone.

Li Mao exclaimed, "My sister, do you want to plant a hundred orchard?"

　Today is New Year's Eve, the next update will be next year, hehehe~
　　(It was really busy a year ago, and there were few updates, so don’t dislike me. I will replenish you after the year~)

　　I wish you all a happy new year in advance. The new year will be smooth, happy every day, good luck and prosperity~
