Chapter 443 Discovery of Ice Powder Fruit
Da Zhuang said: "Life is better now, there will be more delicious food waiting for us to eat in the future?"
No matter how many delicacies they had eaten in the future, the roasted game this time was the most memorable and the most delicious for the three of them.
Duke Zheng also said: "Don't talk about you. I have traveled all over the country, but this is the first time I have eaten such delicious game. My granddaughter is really good at cooking and has many ideas!"
After lunch, everyone sat down to rest for a while and then set out again. Zheng Sisi directed several guards to remove all the burning firewood, and took the unburned ones to the stream to soak them in water. The remaining fire was also soaked with water in a kettle.
Zheng Sisi said: "Before leaving, you must put out the remaining fire in the fire. Otherwise, if there is wind, the fire will be blown into the forest and cause a forest fire. At that time, the entire forest will be damaged, and nearby villages may also be burned."
This is another important piece of common sense, and everyone nodded and said, "Got it."
Sheng Zhen silently kept these in mind and decided to tell his father when he returned, asking him to issue an edict to publicize them and implement them throughout the country.
They walked over a few more hills in the afternoon and found similar wild fruits. No matter what they were, Zheng Sisi said she would buy them all, which made the three farmers very grateful, and they also thanked the princess on behalf of all the villagers.
Since no new wild fruits were found, Zheng Sisi planned to go out of the mountains to look for chestnut trees.
On the outskirts of the mountain, a group of people were walking and talking and laughing. Zheng Sisi saw some dry vines in the grass, with some lantern-like fruits on them.
Zheng Sisi remembered that her grandmother had taken her to pick this fruit before. It was called Bingfen Fruit and she had made it at home before. After going to the city, she would buy it on the street to eat.
Zheng Sisi shouted, "Wait a minute, I found the ice powder fruit."
A few people stopped and walked back, and saw Zheng Sisi picking a small lantern-like fruit in front of a withered vine.
Zheng Sisi tore open the dry and translucent lantern leaves, and found a spherical fruit inside. She pinched it lightly with her fingernails, and the sphere cracked, revealing many tiny seeds.
Zheng Sisi exclaimed: "It's really ice powder fruit, haha, there's something delicious."
Seeing the princess so happy, Daniu said, "Princess, what is this? There are many of them at the foot of the mountain where there is plenty of sunshine."
Zheng Sisi said in surprise: "Really? I didn't expect there would be such a surprise. This is called ice powder fruit. It can be made into a kind of food. It's icy and delicious. Everyone come pick some and I'll make it for you tomorrow, hehe!"
Everyone started to work, and Zheng Sisi reminded: "Be careful when picking, the shell is easy to break, and the seeds will flow out if it breaks."
Zheng Sisi asked again: "Daniu, is there a lot of this?"
Daniu thought about it and realized that he had seen a lot of this thing at the foot of the mountain. He confirmed again: "There are a lot of them growing in the sun at the foot of the mountain."
Da Zhuang and Zhu Zi also nodded and said, "Yes, there are a lot of them. We can never finish cutting them all every year. There is also a kind of vine with very smooth leaves that likes to grow in sunny places."
Zheng Sisi said, “Pick the ones here and take me to see where they are.”
Zhuzi said, "There is no such thing in the mountain. You have to go to the foot of the mountain."
Zheng Sisi: "Yes, these plants like the sun."
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we found that it was a small hill. It had not been cultivated into farmland because there was no water source. There were some low bushes growing on it, and we could see large areas of mountain jelly vines.
Zheng Sisi laughed out loud: "We're rich, we're rich, if we pick these up, there will be new food in the food court, haha!"
When they heard that it could be sold for money, everyone became excited.
Zheng Sisi said, "Daniu, Dazhuang and Zhuzi, you should also organize people to pick the fruits. We can charge 20 coins per pound."
The three of them started to get excited again. The princess was buying these unwanted things at high prices. From now on, the farmers would no longer be short of money.
Zheng Sisi asked again: "You just said there is another kind of vine, where does it grow?"
Da Zhuang said, "Princess, you can find it on the other side. I'll take you there."
Coming to the other side of the hill, Zheng Sisi was sure that she saw yam beans. The vines were still green and spread in the grass. The leaves were heart-shaped, and there were many small gray fruits hidden under the leaves.
Zheng Sisi instructed: "There are two small hoes in the backpack. Take them out and dig up the roots of this plant. Dig from a distance. This yam can grow very long."
The two guards first cut the weeds and then dug at a certain distance.
Sheng Zhen asked: "What is this?"
Zheng Sisi said: "This is yam, a kind of medicinal material sold in the medicine shop, but it can be eaten as a staple food, and can also be used in cooking. It can fill the stomach like potatoes."
