Chapter 451: Prying some loess and encountering a wild fruit with good taste(1/2)

 Li You nodded, "It's okay. However, two lotus leaves are not enough. Gather a few more lotus leaves, maybe seven or eight."

"Do you want that much?" Ling Xiaoru said, "Okay. Let's go."

Li You nodded.

"Sister Xiaoru, I'll go with you." Mu Qingye said.

"Okay!" Of course Ling Xiaoru has no objection. It would be better for two people to go together.

"Then I'll follow the boss to find Loess." Xia Xiaoyue said.

Li You nodded, "Okay, let's go."

Turning off the TV, the four of them went downstairs together. After walking out of the store, Ling Xiaoru got on the scooter and Mu Qingye sat in the back seat.

They went there on electric scooters.

Li You found a bag and went to the utility room to take out a shovel. He handed both the bag and the shovel to Xia Xiaoyue and asked her to hold them.

He got on the motorcycle. He remembered that on the way to Taoshan Village, he saw a place with loess.

Just go there and get it done.

Go by motorcycle.

Xia Xiaoyue also got on the motorcycle with a bag and a shovel.

Set off.

Five minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

There was a small hillside beside the road, and there was loess on the top of the slope. After seeing that there was indeed loess, Li You felt happy and secretly thought that he had indeed remembered correctly.

Then we’ll do it here.

Park the motorcycle on the side of the road and the two people get off.

Li You took the shovel in the bag from Xia Xiaoyue and said, "At the top, let's go up."

"Okay."

There is no way up, so you need to climb up. Fortunately, the slope is not steep, and there are many potholes and trees, so it is still very easy to climb.

However, it doesn't seem that easy for Xia Xiaoyue.

Li You saw that Xia Xiaoyue was having difficulty climbing, so he stretched out his hand and said, "I'll pull you up."

"Thank you!"

Xia Xiaoyue reached out and grabbed Li You's hand. She instantly felt that her hand was firmly grasped, and a strong force came from her. She immediately felt much more relaxed.

Soon, the two people climbed to the top of the slope.

Li You released his grip on Xia Xiaoyue's hand, and Xia Xiaoyue thanked her again.

Li You told Xia Xiaoyue not to be polite, then pointed to the soil under his feet and said, "This is loess."

Xia Xiaoyue knelt down, looked at the soil and said, "Is the yellow soil loess?"

Li You smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with saying that. Loess is indeed yellow, and it is a native, yellow silt sediment."

Xia Xiaoyue said: "I don't quite understand."

Li You said: "I don't quite understand either. But it doesn't matter, we just need to know that this is indeed loess."

Xia Xiaoyue nodded.

Li You started to pry the soil with a shovel, and it was very easy to pry.

After Xia Xiaoyue watched Li You pry for a while, she suddenly discovered a small black-purple spherical fruit not far away.

The fruit is not big, less than one centimeter in diameter, but it looks pretty good because of its luster.

Xia Xiaoyue's eyes lit up. She had seen this kind of fruit when she was a child. It was also available in her hometown. It seemed to be edible, but she had never eaten it. She didn't know what it was called, but she must have seen it before.

Although they haven't seen each other for at least ten years, she should remember it correctly.

More than ten years later, Xia Xiaoyue was very happy to see this kind of fruit again and walked over quickly.

When you get closer and take a closer look, you can see that the fruit-bearing plant is about half a meter tall, with oval leaves about five centimeters long.

I have no impression of the plant. It looks ordinary and nothing special, but the fruit is definitely the same fruit I saw when I was a child.

It bore a lot of fruit.

Xia Xiaoyue picked a few and put them in her hands, then returned to where Li You was prying the soil. She spread her hands in front of Li You and said, "Boss, what kind of fruit do you think this is?"

Li You looked at it and said: "Solanum nigrum."

"Solanum nigrum?" Xia Xiaoyue said, "I seem to have heard of this name. It turns out that this is nightshade. I saw this kind of fruit when I was a child, but I never knew what it was called?"

Li You smiled and said: "Solanum nigrum is the scientific name. But because this fruit is widely distributed and can be found almost all over the country, it has many names. The names are basically different in different places. For example, the wild spicy tiger,

There are many kinds of wild sea peppers, small bitter herbs, stone sea peppers, black peppers, mountain peppers, wild eggplant seedlings, false rushes, Dibaozi, Feitianlong, etc. You may also have names for it in your hometown.

Nightshade."

Xia Xiaoyue nodded, "Probably. I didn't expect there to be so many names. It can be eaten, right?"

Li You nodded, "You can eat it. Just eat it directly. It tastes sour and sweet, so it's okay."

"Then let me eat one and try it." Xia Xiaoyue added, "When I was a child, I heard that it seemed that it could be eaten, but I had never eaten it. At that time, I probably thought it was dark and didn't dare to eat it."

Li You smiled again and said: "Then you try it now. This thing also has medicinal value. It has the effects of dispersing blood stasis, reducing swelling, clearing away heat and detoxifying. It is suitable to eat it on this day."

Xia Xiaoyue nodded, and then put a fruit into her mouth.

After eating it, he said: "It's really sour and sweet, and it feels okay."

Xia Xiaoyue was very happy. She didn't expect to be able to taste a fruit that she had seen more than ten years ago but had never eaten because she didn't dare to eat it.

This is also a kind of regret that makes up for childhood.

Eat one more...

I ate all the nightshade fruits in my hand and felt pretty good.

"Not only the fruit of nightshade is edible," Li You added, "its young branches and leaves can also be eaten, and they also have the effects of dissipating blood stasis, reducing swelling, clearing away heat and detoxifying. There are many medical books about the medicines of the branches, leaves and fruits of nightshade.

Record of value."

"How to eat young branches and leaves? Should they be fried?" Xia Xiaoyue asked.

Li You said: "You can eat it fried. You can also boil it with eggs and eat it in soup. Although the taste is a bit bitter, the medicine is bitter and is very good for the body."

Xia Xiaoyue nodded, "This nightshade is also a good thing."

Li You said: "It is indeed a good thing."

Xia Xiaoyue said: "Then do you want to transplant some to the wild orchard? There should be no nightshade in the wild orchard yet, right?"

Li You said: "Indeed there is not yet. Since there is it here, let's pry some away and plant them. There is no need to go looking for them."

"Yes!" Xia Xiaoyue was very happy.

Li You smiled and continued to pry the soil.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After filling the bag, it's almost enough. Then go and pry some nightshade.

The two people came to a place where nightshades grew. There was a large area growing there, densely packed with fruits.

Some fruits are black and purple, which are ripe. Some fruits are green, which are not yet ripe.

Li You picked a few black and purple fruits and put them in his mouth, and he also ate a few.

It's sour and sweet, the taste is okay, and it quenches your thirst.

When you are traveling in the wilderness and are thirsty and have no water. If you find nightshades, you can pick some and eat them, which is very effective in quenching your thirst.

Next, start to pry the nightshade.

Nightshade nightshade plants are upright, generally between 20 centimeters and one meter in height. The plants are not thick and easy to pry.

Li You pried up a plant with two shovels.

Continue to pry, one plant after another, and soon we have pried about twenty plants. The pile together is already a big pile.

That's almost enough.

Find something to use as a rope and tie it up so it's easier to carry around.

Li You looked around and soon discovered a vine not far away, the Tendon vine.

It is also called wide-banded vine, spring-rooted vine, cross-rooted vine, etc.

This is a vine plant that can grow to more than 20 meters in length. It is also very tough, strong and not easy to break. It is one of the best vines that can be used as a rope.

In the past, when people needed to go up the mountain to cut firewood, they often did not bring ropes with them. Instead, they cut some vines on the spot and used them as ropes.

This is very convenient.

However, this is actually a waste of ramus vine. Because ramus vine is actually a well-known and very practical traditional Chinese medicine.
