Chapter 18 Wild Loquat

Erya raised her head and asked, "Auntie, what do you call this wild fruit?"

They only knew it was a wild fruit, but they didn’t know its name. Anyway, it was an unpalatable wild fruit.

Xu Jiaojiao was stunned, "Loquat fruit! What do you call it?"

"Auntie, is this the name you gave this fruit? Loquat? It sounds pretty good. I am so smart and unusual. She even gave the fruit such a nice name." Erya saw Xu Jiaojiao's fruit-smashing skills.

Since then, there has been a trend of brainless fans.

The old lady is about to become the most powerful person in the world in her eyes.

Xu Jiaojiao is ashamed!

Okay, in this remote country, it's not surprising that the country people don't know the loquat tree.

She asked again about her previous confusion, "Just now Xu Xuehua and the others couldn't dig wild vegetables, why didn't they come to pick loquat fruits to eat?"

Sanya explained, "This wild fruit is not delicious. It is bitter, astringent and sour. There is not much meat. It is just a big core and a layer of skin. The more you eat, the hungrier you become. Moreover, this place is relatively close to the mountains. It was noisy before."

We passed wild boars and bitten several children who came to pick wild fruits. Later, there were fewer people coming. If it hadn't been for the courage of the old lady, we would not have dared to go so far."

That’s what happened.

It is probably because it is extremely sour and whets your appetite, making you feel hungrier the more you eat.

It's really not a satiating thing.

It's dangerous, and wild animals can hurt people...

It's normal that no one comes to visit.

Xu Jiaojiao was particularly fond of eating loquats in her previous life. She was raised by her grandparents. Her family planted many good varieties of loquat trees. The flesh is juicy and sweet, and the seeds are large and small. They are very delicious and cannot be eaten.

After that, she makes loquat paste and loquat wine, both of which are her favorites.

While they were talking, Erya and Sanya had already picked a lot of loquat fruits and came over.

The two of them tasted it, and their tongues spit out long, sour water.

Xu Jiaojiao also tasted one. It was super sour, bitter, astringent, and numb. There was almost no place to put it in her mouth. After taking a bite, she felt sour and got goosebumps all over her body.

This is indeed inedible.

It had nothing to do with the delicious loquat impression she had in her previous life.

Xu Jiaojiao took a quick look and asked, "Do all the wild loquats here taste like this?"

These loquat fruits are not yet fully mature, because they are on the backside of the sun, so the sun's rays cannot shine for long, and the front and rear are blocked.

So it seems that the fruit is yellow-orange in some places, green in other places, and the ripeness index is uneven.

"Yes! Where are the particularly delicious wild fruits? All the delicious ones have been picked long ago, and now many people don't have enough to eat." Erya replied.

Country people are not picky. As long as they can fill their belly and eat, they will eat it.

The main reason is that this food is too sour and astringent. The more I eat, the hungrier I get and the more it tastes, the more astringent it becomes. I can only treat it as a normal snack. If you can eat one and a half, it's pretty good.

Xu Jiaojiao ate a lot of loquats and knew a lot about them in her previous life.

"Let's go, I'll take you to find some more delicious loquats!"

Erya and Sanya looked at each other, "Auntie, where can I find delicious loquats? They all taste like this!"

Xu Jiaojiao walked to a big loquat tree that faced the sun, and climbed up again huffing and puffing.

This time, I climbed to the top.

I picked the top loquat fruit, which gets the most sun.

Peel it off, bring it to your mouth, and taste it.

It was so sour that her eyes narrowed into long slits, "It's okay, it's okay, this one has a little bit of sweetness. You guys should try it too."

Throw down a few for Erya and Sanya.

Erya, prepared to be tricked, peeled off the yellow peel and took a small bite.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he said, "Huh? Old lady? This one is really more delicious than the previous one. It's not so bitter and sour, but also has a sweet taste! Old lady is so awesome. She can even pick fruits better than us?"

Sanya heard it and tried to take a bite.

He smiled and said happily, "Auntie, it's really more delicious than what we just ate! It's sweet, it's sweet...Auntie, what's going on!"

Xu Jiaojiao had supported them before, and now the twins couldn't help but get closer to Xu Jiaojiao.

"It's because of the sunlight. The top receives more light. Even if the soil is not good, the fruit will taste better and be bigger than the fruit below."

Erya picked the fruit from the top and compared it with other fruits.

He said happily, "Really, you are much older, old lady, you are so smart, you have discovered all this!"

"I also want to go up the tree to pick fruits! I will help my old lady pick fruits!"

This is true, but if you want to pick fruits from the top of the tree, and the top of a big tree with light, the twins can't climb up at all.

Only Jiaojiao can climb trees and pick them by herself.

There were not many fruits that met the requirements. Sometimes Xu Jiaojiao couldn't climb up and couldn't find fruits with good taste.

It wasn't until the sun went down that I picked a basket full of high-quality loquat fruits.

My aunt and nephew were all full after eating, and they all chose the big fruits with sweet taste and good texture. Unlike before, they couldn't bear to eat half of them.

You can eat ten or twenty large fruits at one go before your mouth feels numb and you can't eat them.

When I got home, it was getting dark.

Mrs. Xu Zhang was walking around looking around at the door of Xu's house, and finally she expected Xu Jiaojiao and the others to come back.

"Er Ya, San Ya, you two are the ones who cut off your heads! Why did you take your old lady to the mountain for nothing? Why did you take your old lady to the wild place until now? Your old lady is such a precious person, she fell into the water again, and her body is not recovered from the cold.

, you take her up the mountain, if there is any problem, I will expose your skin!"

"Oh, my Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? There's gray on your face and body, and your hair is messy. Did you fall or something happened? Erya, Sanya, you guys who chopped off your head, how are you guys?

Aunt? If you don’t want to live anymore, are you seeking death?”

Erya and Sanya were submissive and did not dare to speak.

Xu Jiaojiao stepped forward and took Xu Zhang's arm, "Mom, I'm fine, I just climbed the tree to pick fruits and eat them. By the way, mom, I brought you a lot of delicious loquat fruits, let's go

, come into the house and give you a taste."

Xu Zhang's attention was attracted by Xu Jiaojiao's handful of loquat fruits.

Xu Jiaojiao quietly glanced at Erya and Sanya, and the twins understood, "We picked mushrooms and made mushroom soup for my old lady."

Carrying the basket, I went to the kitchen, away from Xu Zhang's danger zone.

There is no food in the Xu family at night, so they only eat breakfast and lunch throughout the day. Lunch will be later, so that when people are hungry, it is time to go to bed.

Only Xu Jiaojiao has a special exception, she can eat three meals a day, plus an extra meal or something.

Even Mrs. Xu Zhang didn’t eat it.
