Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 340 340 Orange Persimmon
Is this where the white mist of the winter canyon comes from?Jiang Li thought about stretching his hand into the pool, only to find that the water in the pool was icy cold.

It's not a hot spring, so where does the white mist at the bottom of the valley come from?

Heiba ​​and Daliang took off their clothes and pants, jumped into the shallow pool below the deep pool, found the water was freezing cold, scrubbed it clean, and then climbed ashore.

Jiang Li looked around, but found no hot springs, and it was enough for everyone to cool off under the waterfall.They continued to move forward with Heiba.I went all the way until dark, but I didn't find any satisfactory food seeds.

Returning the same way the next day, everyone packed up baskets full of dried meat and began to return to the tribe.

Two days later, Yao Xiaoqing saw the seeds brought back by Jiang Li, "It looks a bit like sorghum, but it doesn't look like it. Could it be that it hasn't evolved yet?"

Seeing her frowning and thinking hard, Jiang Li dragged her into the room, "Xiaoqing, let me draw a picture for you. Its plants are a bit like millet, but taller than millet, and the stems are also thicker than millet. It's a bit like a millet. A pole of white thatch."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Li's painting, and she couldn't figure out if this spike-shaped plant was red sorghum?
"Don't worry." Jiang Li smiled and pulled her to a chair, she sat down, and said softly, "I looked around at the bottom of the valley, but I didn't find any rice. Let's go out and look for it together next year."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "I originally planned to go out to look for rice this year, but it was delayed due to bad weather."

Jiang Li looked at her with a smile on his face, "I will go with you next year and escort you."

"Yeah!" Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Let's take the seeds upstairs to dry and plant them next year. After a few selections, we will know the true face of Mount Lu."

"Okay, I'm going to get the dustpan." Jiang Li went to the warehouse to get two dustpans, dried the seeds with Yao Xiaoqing, thought about it and asked, "Xiaoqing, do you want to go to the mountains to collect herbs? I'll accompany you You go together. Let's go into the mountains to collect some fruits and make preserves."

"Okay! The two persimmon trees in the orchard have produced about a dozen persimmons this year. Let's go to the mountains to find some persimmons and come back to make persimmons."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Let's go to the orchard."

"Okay!" The two went to the orchard together.

In the orchard there were jujube trees, pear trees, persimmon trees, orange trees, hawthorn trees and some fruit trees that neither of them knew.

Yao Xiaoqing walked to several fruit trees with many slender branches, and found more than a dozen fruits similar to jujubes on them. At a glance, they looked a bit like vine jujubes in the mountains, but they didn't look like them when they looked closely.

She tasted one, and it tasted crunchy, sweet and delicious, "Jiang Li, do you know this kind of fruit? It tastes pretty good."

"Let me take a look." Jiang Li picked it up and looked at it, and tasted two, "It's a bit like the wild dates those people sell."

Yao Xiaoqing plucked a few times, and picked a dozen in total, "Too few, if there are too many, I can pick them back and make candied haws."

Seeing her wrinkle her nose, Jiang Li smiled and pinched her nose, "I have never seen wild dates anywhere, I know there is a forest where many persimmon trees grow, tomorrow morning I will take you into the mountains to pick persimmons to make persimmons."

"Okay, let's go into the mountain to have a look tomorrow morning." Yao Xiaoqing nodded in response.

The next day, the two took Heiba ​​and Aque up the mountain.

In the morning of autumn, the sky is already cool, and the mountain is already a bleak scene. The scorched leaves are blown by the wind, swirling and falling to the ground.

There is a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, just like stepping on a thick carpet.

Yao Xiaoqing and Aque collected herbs along the road, and Jiang Li also knew some herbs that drive snakes away and stop bleeding and reduce swelling.Before reaching the persimmon grove Jiang Li mentioned, Heiba ​​and Jiang Li's baskets were already full of herbs.

The four of them also found some orange trees in the woods. The trees were full of bright red oranges, which made people's mouth water.

Avoiding the thorns on the tree, Heiba ​​climbed up and picked some, and handed them to Yao Xiaoqing and A Que.

Yao Xiaoqing peeled off the bright red orange peel and handed it to Jiang Li, "Try it, is it sweet?"

Jiang Li took it and ate it, looked at the three of them, "Hmm! It's quite sweet."

Heiba ​​stuffed one in hastily, "Ah! Bah! Bah! It's so sour, so sour!"

Seeing Heiba's sour grin, Aque laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Heiba ​​looked at Jiang Li sadly, "Boss, you are too bad."

Jiang Li smiled and knocked him on the head, "Don't use your brains to blame others, look at why Xiaoqing and Aque didn't eat!"

Yao Xiaoqing gave Jiang Li a reproachful look, "This kind of tangerine should be red orange, which is suitable for making tangerine peel, and stewed mutton tastes better."

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, and pulled the black bus up the tree to pick oranges.The oranges were so sour that no one would eat them, so the two picked them and threw them down.

Aque picked up the oranges and piled them together, "Xiaoqing, I smell the smell of oranges and I want to swallow."

"I'm better than you!" Yao Xiaoqing found a rock and sat down, began to peel the orange peel, swallowing while peeling, "You asked for it!"

Jiang Li came down from the tree, "Xiaoqing, there is a stream over there, I'm going to catch some pheasants and roast hares to eat."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Go and come back quickly."

"Okay." Jiang Li left with a bow and arrow.

After Heiba ​​and Aque finished peeling the oranges, Jiang Li came back with two hares and three pheasants.

The four of them went to the stream and started a barbecue.

After eating and drinking enough, I went to the persimmon grove.

I saw a persimmon tree in the forest with a thick and big trunk.At a glance, there are at least hundreds of persimmon trees that have grown for many years. I can see that the trees are full of yellow persimmons, hanging on the trees like little yellow lanterns.

Yao Xiaoqing said: "Jiang Li, we should call Ah Hei and the others here."

"Let's pick them back first, and ask Heiba ​​to bring them here tomorrow." Jiang Li didn't expect so many persimmons to grow in such weather.

Yao Xiaoqing and A Que stood under the tree and picked the persimmons they could reach, and found that some persimmons had been pecked by birds, leaving holes.

"Xiaoqing, this kind of fruit tastes better when it's soft, but it's uncomfortable to eat if it's hard." Aque said and picked up one, "The fruit that the bird has eaten is sweeter than the one that has not been eaten."

"You can't eat it." Yao Xiaoqing stopped her. "Birds will eat anything. If it eats a worm before it picks up a persimmon, it will be poisonous and you will be in trouble."

Aque held the persimmon, imagined the situation of the bird holding the long worm in its mouth, shivered, and looked at her resentfully, "Xiaoqing, I dare not eat what you said."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her wrinkled bitter gourd face, and secretly smiled, "Just don't dare to eat it, quickly pick those bright and hard fruits, and I will cover the persimmons for you to make persimmons when you go back."

Aque happily agreed, climbed up the tree, stepped on the trunk and shook, and the persimmons fell like hail.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the monkey-like Aque, smiled and shook her head.

Jiang Li came down from the tree with a basket on his back, "Xiaoqing, it's almost there, let Heiba ​​bring someone to pick it tomorrow."
