The Ji family had no idea that there was a man with ulterior motives following them, and they couldn't get away even when they reached the foot of the mountain.

Unknowingly, they were searching for clues about mountain grapes.

Mountain grapes are a good thing. For children who used to lack supplies, they are one of the few delicacies available.

And you don’t need any money to buy it.

It couldn't be more suitable for them.

So this mountain grape is a hot commodity.

During the mountain grape season for children in the village, if you don’t hurry up and go with the older children, you won’t be able to grab this delicious food.

If there are younger siblings at home, they usually grab some more and take them home for them to eat.

Or you can hide it secretly by yourself, so that even if there is no more water later, there will still be some sweetness that you can remember.

The reason why Ji's family still wants to try their luck in the mountains is that the area south of the Yangtze River is relatively wealthy, and the children have snacks on the street to sweeten their mouths.

The mountains are so far apart, and they have been staying in this courtyard for so many days, and it seems that there are few people there.

I think this mountain is still in its most primitive state, so no one would look for the things inside.

Except for those who run mountains.

But when running in the mountains, I only have eyes for prey such as rabbits, and I don’t think about melons and fruits at all.

This can be seen from the elder brother who often came to their house to buy wine.

He has always carried small animals in his hands, not wild fruits from the mountains.

"Milk, are mountain grapes delicious?" It was Shi Jia who asked this question.

Since this kid came to Jiangnan, his family has opened a restaurant, and the roast duck has become better and better, so he has gained a lot of weight.

Now he looks like a little fat man.

He also discovered one of his hobbies, which is eating delicious food.

The reason why he came here today is because he heard that the mountain grapes are quite sweet.

In his little mind, he still didn't know what grapes tasted like because of his previous escapes.

He originally looked at Mrs. Ji and asked, but before Mrs. Ji could say anything, his mother couldn't help but laugh:

"Why are you asking others? Didn't you eat it yourself when you were a child?"

Although the Ji family had a good life when they were in Jiwu Village, they were not a family that could buy food for their children at any time.

If you want to give your children something good to eat, you have to go to the mountains and work hard.

Although Ji Laoer is taciturn and not good at words, he is a man who truly loves his children.

After having a child, I often went to the mountains to think about it, and this man really found some good things.

This mountain grape was one of them. After he found it, he didn't eat any of it. He took some back to honor his mother and gave the rest to his wife and children.

"But I don't remember!"

Ji Shijia frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what it smelled like.

Mrs. Ji's face was full of love and affection, and she touched her grandson's head affectionately: "My dear, if we find mountain grapes later, the first one will be given to our good grandson!"

"Okay!" Wang Xueyan scolded with a smile: "A kid who thinks about food every day has no idea what his future will be."

"It's more serious for us to look for mountain grapes first. It's getting late now."

The Ji family members nodded and looked around.

Perhaps because their family has rich experience in finding mountain grapes, they found the place where the mountain grape grows while walking halfway up the mountain.

It is also very hidden, growing around trees.

Ji Liangqing was agile and climbed the tree to pick grapes. The women and children below followed him.

This mountain grape is not as big and plump as ordinary grapes, and its color is cyan, but there are also some red ones.

Most of them look quite small, but they are things you can get without spending any money.

The ordinary grapes came as tribute from foreign countries. I heard that they could only be eaten by the emperor. They were just ordinary people, so it would be nice if they could taste them.

Moreover, this mountain grape grows better than the grapes they found in their hometown before, and is obviously much larger.

It should be because no one was harmed in this forest.

I don’t know how long this area of ​​mountain grapes has been growing. Every year the grapes grow and fall off naturally, and then new grapes grow around it.

There is a large area of ​​dense knots all around. Look at it like this, you can't even pick it all at once.

There are so many mountains. It is unrealistic for Ji Liangqing to pick grapes by himself. It would be unrealistic for everyone to pick grapes. He would not be able to pick them quickly.

So the last few men decided to climb the tree to pick it.

It's just that Wang Goudan has typical uncoordinated limbs and is not as flexible as other men, so he can only act as a coolie.

Carrying the mountain grapes one by one.

He simply doesn't have much else, he just has a lot of strength.

Carrying these grapes is also easy.

The oxcart is at the foot of the mountain. You only need to carry the basket to the oxcart at the bottom, and then pour the mountain grapes inside into the oxcart.

So the task is not too heavy for him.

When he was carrying grapes down the mountain, he was so focused on looking at his feet that he didn't notice that when he was going down one road, another figure appeared from the other side of the path.

That person was none other than Zhao Chuanliang, who had followed them with evil intentions.

Since Zhao Chuanliang went up the mountain, he has watched six directions and listened in all directions.

Although the mountains here are relatively low, it is not expected that there will be any large beasts.

But there are ferocious things in the mountains over their hometown.

Who knows if there are snakes on this mountain?

So he easily spotted Wang Goudan coming down the mountain and hid before Wang Goudan found him.

After watching Wang Goudan fall, he sneaked out of the hiding place, and then clearly saw the contents of the basket on his back.

Mountain grape.

Obviously, Zhao Chuanliang also knew what this was.

When they were young, they also liked to look for things like this to eat. Now when he sees mountain grapes, he can recognize them at a glance.

He was just a little confused, what were they doing carrying Shan Guo?

Are they being picked and sold?

It’s not that it’s impossible, I just feel a little weird that they would come here no matter what the reason is to close the store.

Is it just to sell some fruits?

The price of this fruit is not as much as the price of wine.

Although mountain grapes have the word "grape" in them, the taste is still far from real grapes.

Even if Zhao Chuanliang failed to pass the imperial examination, he still knew that grapes were a fruit from the Western Regions and were incomparable to the fruits here.

These mountain grapes still taste very sour, but become a little sweet when they are grown. How can you sell such grapes at such a high price?

For the sake of mountain grapes, the whole family worked hard and closed two stores. Wouldn't it be like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon?
