Chapter 693: foodie attribute
There is a small river ditch opposite the gate of Xu\'s house, formed by the spring water flowing down from the mountain.
The small river ditch is not too big, adults can walk across it with a big stride, and the water is not too deep.
The little ones were squatting on the stones by the river ditch, stretching out their hands to play with the river water.
"Brother, look quickly, there are small shrimps in here, so small. Come on, help me catch it."
Xu Haiqing pointed at the clear river water and exclaimed.
Xu Haiyuan came over and squatted down to take a closer look. Sure enough, there were a few transparent small river prawns swimming in the water between the rocks.
"Such a small thing, why are you grabbing it? Eat it?"
His younger brother is a real foodie, but such a small shrimp is not enough to fit between the teeth, isn\'t it a bit too much?
"Brother, no matter how much I love to eat, I can\'t eat such a small thing, right? It\'s just for fun."
Xu Haiqing pouted, who do you think he is?
Such a small shrimp, and there are only a few of them, how can he eat them?
The dialogue between the two brothers made everyone laugh.
"Come on, let\'s take a stroll up that mountain, isn\'t it said that there are chestnut trees over there?
We don’t have this stuff there, go over and see what it looks like. "Xu Haibo said, pointing to the forest in the distance.
Indeed, there is no such thing as chestnut in Fusong.
Everyone has eaten chestnuts, but I have never seen a chestnut tree, so they all became interested and walked up the mountain over there.
The mountain here is different from the mountain at home.
The mountain at home is huge, and there are many mountains that stretch for dozens of miles, so most of the mountains are flat and the slopes are relatively gentle.
The mountains here are small, and each one is quite steep.
And this Shijiagou is worthy of its name, the mountain is full of stones.
Even in a large field, you can see a lot of stones.
The crops in that field should be quite tall at this time, but the growth of the crops here is very ordinary, and it seems that the soil fertility is not enough.
"No wonder my grandfather said that when the Shijiagou side is shoveling the ground, the mountain can hear the shoveling.
Look at this mountain full of stones.
The crops here are much worse than ours.
I don’t know how those grandparents stayed in such a place?
Since we have all gone to the northeast, why don\'t we go north again? "Xu Haitao muttered as he walked.
The children have heard from their family members that where is the ancestor of the old Xu family, because they moved here.
But why did you choose such a place? Everyone doesn\'t understand.
"Second brother, when Qilu people went to the Guandong, one of them took land, that is, went through Shanhaiguan to go outside the pass, and the other took a boat by sea.
Generally speaking, if the wind is smooth, it will be there in one day and one night.
Most of the sea roads go to places like Dalian and Yingkou. "
Xu Jinping has read the relevant information, and has a little understanding of this.
“The boats at that time were not like big boats now, but ordinary small fishing boats.
If you catch up with the wind and the water is smooth, you can float to the right place. If you catch the wind in the wrong direction, you may not know where you will go, and some of them will go to the Sea of Japan.
It\'s not bad to go ashore wherever you drift, but I don\'t know how many people died in the sea directly. "
The situation at sea is unpredictable, and no one can say this kind of thing.
"Our ancestors were fishermen, why do you think they came here? It must be by boat.
It is beyond their control to drift this way by boat, and it will be wherever it goes.
Maybe someone from our ancestors drifted to Dandong.
Then I found a random place to settle down, and felt that I could still live on, which was better than my previous fishing life.
Then who will continue to move forward? "
Liao Province is the first stop for Qilu people to enter the Guandong, but no one wants to go north if they can gain a foothold here.
Further to the north, the mountains are high, the forests are dense and the wild animals are overgrown, which is too dangerous.
Although Shijiagou is not very rich, it has a small population, and the natural resources in those days were estimated to be rich enough.
In front of it is the Xiaoya River, and it is actually quite nice to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The farming society is self-sufficient, and it is quite good to have such a piece of forest land.
Regardless of how many years older Xu Haitao is than Xu Jinping, but when it comes to the ink in his belly, the three of them tied together can\'t keep up with Xu Jinping.
Xu Haitao rolled his eyes helplessly, "Well, I can\'t say no to you, you have a reason."
The people next to them listened to the conversation between the siblings and held back their laughter.
The whole family knows that Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping, the monsters, love to read books, no matter what kind of knowledge they have dabbled in.
Whoever argues with the two of them will lose so badly?
Xu Haitao is considered sensible, if he continues, the brother and sister will be provoked to go to bed together.
It is estimated that everyone else is tied together, and they may not be able to speak of those two.
The bottom of the mountain is cultivated land, and the higher you go, there are forests. There are some pear trees and some hawthorn trees.
At this time, the fruit on the pear tree has not yet matured, and the hawthorn is also green with fruit, which is not very big yet.
There is no hawthorn in Fusong, only Shanlihong. The children compared the two plants and found that there are some differences between the two plants.
"Oh, what a pity, it would be nice if autumn came, and we could climb trees and pick pears.
Didn’t grandma say that the pears from my hometown are delicious?
It is said that when pears are picked in autumn, there must be someone underneath them with a sheet, otherwise the pears will break when touched. "
Xu Haiqing looked at the still green fruit on the pear tree and drooled.
He really wants to taste it. The sour, flat-topped, flower-covered pear, and fragrant pear that grandma said are all flavors.
Also, grandma said that frozen pears are actually a special variety called frozen pears.
That kind of pear cannot be eaten in autumn, it is sour and astringent and not tasty at all.
Waiting for the winter to be frozen, the pear meat is white and delicate, and the pear juice is sweet and sour, which is delicious.
Xu Haiqing really wanted to know, how delicious are those frozen pears?
How is it different from the frozen pears that are now common apple pears or flower-covered pears?
"Then wait for the autumn, you ask our dad to bring you back again.
What should I do? You can\'t live here until fall, either. "
Xu Jinping turned her head to look at her younger brother. This foodie has nothing on his mind, only thinking about eating.
This ability, I am convinced.
"Sister, I have to go to elementary school in autumn.
Besides, how busy our parents are in autumn, do they have the time to bring me back?
Cut, if I dare say it, their **** would have to be beaten into eight pieces. "
Xu Haiqing rubbed his butt, muttering in fear.
Does his sister think he is stupid? It\'s true that he likes to eat, but he has brains and is not stupid.
"Then what are you talking about? You came back to eat?" Xu Jinping glanced at her younger brother and snorted.
Xu Haiqing was about to say something more when he heard the brothers in front shouting.
"Come and see, what is this? Why do you have thorns all over your body? Is this a fruit?
A whole body of prickly fruit, how can I eat it? "
As soon as Xu Haiqing heard this, he couldn\'t care less about bickering with his sister, so he ran forward.
On the hillside ahead, there is a tree that you have never seen before.
There are thorns on the tree, and there are many green fur **** growing, and the fur **** are covered with thorns. What is this?
"This should be the chestnut that the aunt said? I read it in a book, and it said that the shell of the chestnut is full of thorns."
The guys have never seen chestnuts on the tree, so they can only guess.
