Chapter 235 Are these plants a kind of wild fruit?(1/2)
After the two people returned to the store, customers soon came to eat.
Li You started busy in the kitchen. Ye Shengge went upstairs.
Not long after, Ling Xiaoru arrived. She will sleep here tonight.
Li You asked Ling Xiaoru to go upstairs and rest first. They would have dinner together later. He was treating him tonight.
"Thank you, boss." Ling Xiaoru was very happy.
After saying that, I went straight upstairs.
Li You continued to be busy. It was not until 7:30 in the evening that he began to prepare the evening dishes.
Five pounds of spicy crayfish, three fish heads with chopped peppers, one mapo tofu, one tomato and egg soup, plus half a specially reserved braised chicken.
This much should be enough.
After it was completely done, the last wave of customers also checked out and left.
Closed for dinner.
Go upstairs.
The TV was on in the living room, and Ye Shengge and Ling Xiaoru were both sitting on the sofa, each playing with their mobile phones.
"It's time to eat." Li You said.
Ye Shengge and Ling Xiaoru both agreed, and then went downstairs to help serve food and wine.
It’s better to have a bowl of wine per person tonight.
After everything is ready, start eating.
"Boss, are you going to start building a wild orchard tomorrow?" Ling Xiaoru asked.
It was probably Ye Shengge who told her about the wild orchard.
Li You nodded, "We will open up wasteland tomorrow. Once everything is roughly done, we will go to the mountains to find wild fruit trees and transplant them back."
Ling Xiaoru said: "Then I will stay here to help tomorrow."
Li You said: "How many orders do you still have to draw?"
Ling Xiaoru said: "There are still a lot of orders. However, there is no rush. It doesn't matter if it takes a few days."
Li You said: "As long as it doesn't delay your work."
Ling Xiaoru said: "There is no delay."
Afterwards, the three of them continued to eat vegetables and drink while discussing matters in the wild orchard.
After slowly finishing a bowl, I didn’t drink any more.
……
The next day.
Morning.
Li You cooked three portions of fermented glutinous rice boiled eggs for breakfast.
I eat noodles every morning. I still have to change the taste occasionally.
The glutinous rice grains were made with Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye last time. They have been kept in the storage cabinet, and there are still a lot of them.
"Boss, did you make the fermented glutinous rice yourself? Or did you buy it from outside?" Ling Xiaoru asked.
Li You said: "Last time I made it with Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye. What do you think of the taste?"
Ling Xiaoru said: "It's delicious. I guess you made it yourself. You can hardly buy something so delicious if you buy it outside."
Ye Shengge asked again: "Is it complicated to make fermented glutinous rice?"
Li You said: "It's not complicated, it's very simple. Is Miss Ye interested?"
Ye Shengge nodded, "I have eaten a lot of glutinous rice, but I never know how to make glutinous rice?"
Li You said: "Let's make some glutinous rice again tomorrow or some time, and you can have a good feel of it."
"Okay! Thank you, boss!" Ye Shengge was very happy.
After eating the fermented glutinous rice and boiled eggs, Li You started preparing braised vegetables.
I haven’t prepared other ingredients yet, there are still only braised chicken and braised chicken feet.
After the stewed vegetables are cooked, we are ready to start clearing the wild orchard.
First open about half an acre of land.
Half an acre of land should be enough for the time being. When it is not enough in the future, we will continue to open up wasteland.
Ye Shengge and Ling Xiaoru are both eager to try.
Li You took the tools and went to the open space next to the orchard with Ye Shengge and Ling Xiaoru.
The location of the Wild Orchard is right here.
Li You first circled about half an acre of land.
The next step is to clean up stones, weeds, etc.
Ye Shengge and Ling Xiaoru are responsible for cleaning up the weeds. Li You is responsible for cleaning up the stones.
It’s still the old rule, first use a hand hammer and chisel to break open the large rocks.
After the first hammer blow, the system's voice rang in my mind, "It has been detected that the host is opening a wilderness orchard, triggering a side mission.
Mission name: Create a wild orchard.
Task requirements: The orchard area should be no less than two acres, and there should be no less than three (including three) types of wild fruits.
Task time: no limit.
Mission reward: a random ingredient (quality: superior. Weight: 1,000 kilograms), and one lucky draw chance."
This voice surprised Li You. He didn't expect that this would trigger another side mission.
Moreover, the mission requirements were lower than his original plan.
His original plan was to open up about half an acre of land, but the task required no less than two acres of land.
As for there being no less than three types of wild fruits, this is also lower than Li You’s plan.
Li You's plan is to discuss at least five or six types first.
This is purely a free mission reward.
In this case, Li You is welcome. Then complete the mission as soon as possible and get the mission reward early.
After all, whether it is a lottery opportunity or a random high-quality ingredient weighing 1,000 pounds, it is quite exciting!
Work quickly.
While they were working, Ye Shengge said from a distance: "Boss, come here and take a look. Are these plants a kind of wild fruit?"
"Really? Let me take a look."
Li You agreed, then walked to Ye Shengge and looked in the direction Ye Shengge pointed.
My eyes suddenly lit up.
The plant on the ground is indeed a kind of wild fruit.
Moreover, it is a wild fruit with a very good taste and very sweet taste.
Wild sweet potatoes!
Wild sweet potato is what Li You calls it. It has many different names in other places, such as Di Guo, Di Loquat, Man Di Qing, Di Guo Vine, Di Dan Zi, Di Pomegranate, Mountain Dragon, Creeping Di Dragon, etc.
.It is a perennial evergreen vine in the genus Moraceae.
This plant grows creeping on the ground. It often grows into a large piece. The stem is cylindrical or slightly flat, brown, with many branches and slightly enlarged nodes.
The leaves are oval, with a blunt tip and slightly wavy serrated edges, green.
The fruit is spherical or oval, generally 1 to 2cm in diameter. It is half or mostly buried in the soil. It is green when immature and turns red when mature, with spots all over the body.
This is a very common and popular wild fruit in rural areas.
Because it tastes very good. It is absolutely fragrant and sweet as honey. Its fragrance can be smelled several meters away.
It is also rich in nutrients. Its dietary fiber, carbohydrate, and carotene content are higher than those of many fruits such as apples, cherries, and citrus.
This is also a wild fruit that Li You likes very much.
I never noticed before that there is such a large area in this place.
"This is indeed a kind of wild fruit. It is called wild sweet potato here. It is very delicious. I wonder if you have eaten it before?" Li You said.
Ye Shengge squatted down, pried open the wild sweet potato vines, pointed at a green fruit half embedded in the soil and said, "Is this the fruit? I probably haven't eaten it before."
Li You said: "This is indeed a fruit. However, it is not ripe yet. When it matures, it will turn into a pale red color."
"Is it red?" Ye Shengge shook his head, "I probably haven't eaten it before."
