Chapter 382: Identifying Wild Fruits
After a few glances at the swiftlets, Liu Junhao wandered around the stone lock. The environment here is no big difference from the outside world. There are various common plants, various fish in the water, and bumblebees, etc. Now the stone lock is basically considered a small ecosystem. Based on the continuous supply of energy for spring water, it can be completely self-sufficient and operates very well. In fact, there is nothing that Liu Junhao needs to worry about.
However, the incident of discovering giant salamanders in the stream some time ago and someone came to the river beach to catch old turtles reminded Liu Junhao, making him realize that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. With this golden finger, he still has to do something to be worthy of God's favor.
In order to protect this pure land from being destroyed by people, Shisuo is a natural reserve base. Now, this small lake can be divided into several parts, and some of them continue to raise eels, while the others are made into large ponds. All fish in it must be raised to allow them to survive freely. This is the kingdom. With the growth of time, the pond around the spring water has long become a small lake. If Liu Junhao had not dug a ditch to divert water, he would have probably been flooded with plants such as wild chrysanthemums and fine hair grass planted around him.
In the future, if you encounter any precious animals and plants, you must also raise them in the stone lock for a period of time to make their population grow. Liu Junhao has verified that the survival ability of animals and plants cultivated in the stone lock is obviously much stronger than that outside. This can prosper the environment inside the stone lock and promote the upgrade of the stone lock. During this period, the space of the stone lock has not continued to increase, and it seems that it has reached a bottleneck period.
Of course, Liu Junhao did not intend to do it deliberately when collecting other creatures, and he would do it as long as he encountered it.
He was busy inside for a while, and seeing that nothing was wrong, he got out.
As soon as the stone lock was released, Liu Junhao suddenly felt sweating on his body again. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still so poisonous.
If you say that the environment inside the stone lock is beautiful and the climate is very suitable, Liu Junhao still likes the environment outside because it is more natural and more realistic.
After a long time of struggle, he realized that it was getting late, and he remembered to go up the mountain to find the group of children. As a result, he heard someone on the hillside shouting, "Brother Liu, come here quickly, can you eat this kind of wild fruit?"
"What?" Liu Junhao thought they had discovered something good, so he climbed onto the hillside in two steps. As a result, he couldn't help but smile when he saw it, "This is a mountain grape, you don't even recognize grapes..."
"It turned out to be wild grapes, so I said I could eat them." A guy felt underestimated by Liu Junhao and couldn't help but defend himself.
"This is a grape, why doesn't it look like it?" A female classmate looked at the little "black bean" in her hand in confusion.
Liu Junhao understood what was going on in a few words. It turned out that these guys were just wandering around the mountain, with a bunch of black things on it, which looked very pleasant. However, everyone was not sure what it was, so they dared not pick and eat it. The main reason was that Liu Junhao told him when he went up the mountain that he should not pick unfamiliar wild fruits at will.
But he boldly proposed to try it before talking about it, but He Yifan brought out the wild apples and swollen neck fruit that his cousin told them before, and repeatedly reminded everyone to be cautious.
It’s rare that this guy still knows the severity of the matter and doesn’t let his classmates eat randomly. If there is a problem with eating, it will be a big problem.
"That's right, this is mountain grapes, don't worry, you can eat them." Liu Junhao explained with a smile. He really didn't expect that these people didn't even recognize mountain grapes. It can be understood that these mountain grapes are still very different from the grapes grown by their own plants. They are not like those planted in the courtyards that are often pruned by people, so they are everywhere, and the leaves are sparse and look a lot dry. In addition, the grapes produced are just as big as soybeans, but people can't recognize them when they suddenly see them.
I heard that it was mountain grapes, and those classmates were all interested. The bold classmate hurriedly picked a black grape and put it in his mouth. He nodded in everyone's expectant eyes, "Sweet, a little sour."
So, everyone started to snatch around, and some even wore vines into garlands and wore them on their necks, and then put them on bunches of grapes, which seemed like people who came back from picking up the garden.
Liu Junhao also picked a few of them casually, but they still tasted the same, sweet and sour, not as delicious as their own.
After eating mountain grapes, these guys have become more keen on asking Liu Junhao to find wild fruits to eat.
Liu Junhao originally wanted to call them to go down the mountain earlier, but he couldn't refuse and could only lead everyone around the mountain. Soon, he found a wild persimmon tree not far away. The persimmons on it were already as big as eggs. But it is a pity that they can't eat it now. Before they walked far, they found some wild hawthorns. This hawthorn tree growing in the outside mountains is much shorter, and the hawthorns are also very small. Although many of them are already red, their flesh is very small and they taste astringent.
Along the way, Liu Junhao kept introducing them to the wild fruits in the mountains, sour wild dates, hard pecans, furry wild peaches; cold rice in the bushes, needle-punched sugar lanterns, dog bonnets that look like dog kidneys; as well as wild strawberries and sweet potato seeds everywhere; sour grass poles by the stream beach, etc.
Although it is not a good season to pick wild fruits at all, these guys are still looking for them everywhere with great enthusiasm. In fact, they don’t really care about these wild fruits. They are the original intention of looking at the scenery, taking photos, wandering around, and going up the mountain to play.
These wild fruits were used to in Liu Junhao's eyes, so he did not join in the fun, and planned to turn his head to see if there were any wild vegetables around him, and wanted to dig some to go back to stir-fry them in the evening. But he found that a guy was not afraid of the heat, and looked out at the village from a large stone. From the side, his eyes were deep, giving people a very deep look, like a thinker.
Liu Junhao hurriedly asked what the "deep brother" was looking at, as if his vision was bare and nothing was left.
"Look, from here, Liujiagou is very beautiful, surrounded by water..."
It really fits the saying, "This world is not lacking in beauty, but lacking eyes to discover beauty." From this perspective, Liujiagou looks very beautiful. The whole village is surrounded by a thick greenery. The mountain stream not far away is like a veil wrapped around the village. The sun is reflected on the water, like a layer of gold foil, which is extremely dazzling.
It was not until after seven o'clock that these children had the idea of going down the mountain. After all, the sky was long in summer, and it was usually dark until the bottom was dark, so it was not too late to go down the mountain now.
As soon as Liu Junhao returned to the yard to sit down, Xiao Tongtong ran over there excitedly and shouted loudly: "Uncle Liu, come here quickly, your water yangchi is giving birth to a baby, go and see it, it's so cute."
