Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 43 Discovering the treasure (2)

Li Qingzhu looked at the small vine branch in front of him, with only a few red fruits, and sighed: "Dad, can this fruit be eaten? It's so small, and it doesn't look ripe yet!"

Li Dashan stared at his son and was about to refute, but Li Xiao spoke first.

"Brother is wrong, this fruit is not only edible, but also medicine!"

Pepper has the effects of warming the middle and relieving pain, reducing qi and eliminating phlegm, and stimulating appetite. It is mainly used to treat cold stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, epilepsy, windworm toothache, centipede bites, etc.

In addition, pepper can also be used as a condiment and is a rare treasure among spices.

Li Xiao couldn't explain it to the two of them in detail. How else could she explain it? How could a seven-year-old know such details?

But she herself didn't know that everyone in the family, including the weak Li Qingzhu, had discovered this problem a long time ago.

Not caring or asking, it's just a family member's trust and protection for his daughter (sister).

Li Xiao asked his father and brother to pick as many red fruits as possible, and pick the right amount of dark-colored fruits.

There are many pepper vines in this area, but because the peppers mature at different times, the final number of peppers picked was only more than 40 kilograms.

Seeing that there was still a lot of pepper, Li Xiao thought about coming back in a few days!
After picking pepper, it was already early noon. Listening to the growling sounds of Li Xiao and Li Qingzhu's stomachs, Li Dashan led his brother and sister to the stream mentioned at the beginning.

Nearly two quarters of an hour later, an open valley came into view.

Surrounded by green trees, there is a rare piece of relatively open flat land, washed by year-round rain and mountain spring water, forming a small stream about a foot wide.

On the slope at the source of the stream is a bamboo forest. Because of the silence of the mountain, you can still hear the gurgling sound of running water.

As you get closer, you can still see groups of small fish coming and going in the clear water, as well as clusters of aquatic plants, swaying with the water flow, which is really cute.

Li Xiao and his son washed their hands and sat on a big rock next to them.

Food was brought from home, as well as water.

Although the mountain spring water is very sweet, Li Xiao knows that there are many microorganisms in the water. Since he brought the water, he asked his father and brother not to drink the mountain spring water.

Li Qingzhu ate quickly and walked around nearby after eating.

After a while, his excited shouts were heard.

"Sister, sister, come on, this mushroom looks great in a skirt!"

Mushrooms wearing skirts?Considering that his brother's voice seemed to come from the bamboo forest, Li Xiao suddenly became happy!

He put down his food and slid down the stone, walking quickly towards his brother.

When I took a closer look, oh, it turned out to be bamboo fungus!Or short skirt bamboo fungus.

Not much, just a small piece, only twenty or thirty flowers.

This is one of the eight delicacies of grass. It is rich in nutrients and delicious. Because of its beautiful appearance, it is called the "Snow Skirt Fairy" in China.

Of course, Li Xiao would not let go of such a good thing.

Even if it's too little to sell in restaurants, wouldn't it taste better if you eat it yourself?

Giving their third brother an appreciative look, the brother and sister quickly dug in.

When the two of them returned to Dashou, Li Dashan was about to finish his meal.

After looking at today's harvest, there were five or six kilograms of matsutake mushrooms and about half a kilogram of bamboo fungus. These two were temporarily placed in Li Xiao's backpack and Li Qingzhu carried them on his back.

There was a little more pepper, about [-] kilograms, and it was all packed in Li Dashan's big backpack, and it didn't even take up half of the space!
