Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 274 Chapter 273 Grandma Goat

July 7th, the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.

Tang Zhitong had been out for five days. Finally, in the early morning of this day, he was called to have a meal by Old Man Zhang, and then he followed a group of people into the deep mountains and old forests of Qinling Mountains.

There are not many militiamen in Shajiaping, plus Old Man Zhang, Old Man Han, and Tang Zhitong, there are twelve people in the group.

Old Han's name is Han Han. He visited Sichuan a few years ago and learned that there was some ambiguity in the pronunciation of his name. He was often teased by his fellow villagers.

When he was young, Old Han Han was full of moral virtue and was good at persuading people with his virtue. He convinced them to call him "Old Man".

The word "old man" has a special meaning in Shaanxi, so it gradually became "old man".

The old Han Deyin no longer had the fiery temper he had when he was young, and he took titles lightly. However, his son Han Deyin had a very fiery personality. When someone told Tang Zhitong about what happened when Han was young, he almost got into a fight.

Seeing this scene, Tang Zhitong's first feeling was that this trip was too much, and the professional quality was far worse than that of his cousin Tang Gang's team.

After beating away his teammates, Han Deyin stayed with Tang Zhitong, asking about things outside the mountain village, his eyes full of yearning for the outside world.

Tang Zhitong probably told him about the situation in the city. In a situation like Han Deyin's, there was little chance of getting out unless he could enlist in the army.

"Are there any wild fruits here?" Tang Zhitong was also full of curiosity about Qinling Mountains. The complex landforms and climate have created a diversity of vegetation here. Tang Zhitong still remembered the promise he made to Xiao Wang before coming to Qinling Mountains to make some delicious food. Go back.

"There are so many wild fruits, including mulberries, chestnuts, fried August nuts, hazelnuts, wild pears, wild apricots, wild grapes, carambola, goat's milk, dates..." Han Deyin counted the same ones to Tang Zhitong on his fingers, and finally counted them with his fingers. Stop when there is not enough.

"What kind of food is ripe now?" Tang Zhitong was surprised. He had eaten mulberries and chestnuts among them, and he had never even heard of others.

"Right now, only mulberries and goat's milk can be eaten. If Xie comes a few months later, there will be more to eat." Han Deyin thought for a while and said.

"If you encounter these two things later, please point it out to me, Brother Han. I want to try it." Tang Zhitong took out a cigarette and gave Han Deyin a piece. The leader in front led the dog, and the person behind him was carrying a gun on his back and smoking. They were talking and laughing, it didn't look like they were going hunting in the mountains, but rather like they were on a spring outing.

"Several!" Han Deyin took the cigarette, first put it under his nose and smelled it, then put it in his mouth and lit the cigarette.

Although the road ahead was a bit bumpy, the ground was hard and it could be seen that there were often people walking on it. When passing by a meadow, the leader, Old Man Zhang, called to stop and rested on the spot.

Caodianzi is not at the foot of the mountain, but at the top of the mountain. This is the first time Tang Zhitong has seen this situation.

"There are no delicious wild fruits in a land where sheep are grazed." Han Deyin looked at Tang Zhitong and talked to him next to him.

"Oh, I just think it looks good." Tang Zhitong followed the example of others, squatting on the ground, picking up the kettle, unscrewing it and drinking water.

This time everyone entering the mountain had a homemade kettle. Some used gourds, some used bamboo tubes, and only the aluminum industrial products used by Tang Zhitong made Han Deyin jealous.

"Brother Han, how far is it from Xiangshui Rock?" Tang Zhitong took a few sips of water, screwed on the lid, and asked.

"We'll be there after climbing two more hills." When it came to Xiangshui Rock, Han Deyin raised his hand to point Tang Zhitong in the direction, with some discomfort on his face.

Yesterday, Han Deyin was severely taught by his old man. If he hadn't wanted to be limelight, there would have been no need to go to Xiangshuiyan. The far distance of that place was the second most important thing. The key was the danger. There were many rumors among the villagers in this area. Year, there was the Tiger King. Two hills? Tang Zhitong nodded, looked at his watch, and said nothing.

Tang Zhitong felt that it was difficult to complete a one-day round trip at this speed.

After a pack of cigarettes, Old Man Zhang stood up and waved everyone to move on.

Walking down the mountain, maybe because it is on the sunny side, you can see that there are gradually more trees, but they are not comparable to those in the Northeast Forest Farm. They are sparse and slender varieties.

"Here, this is Grandma Goat, does it look like it?" Han Deyin picked two bright red and beautiful conjoined fruits from the side and handed them to Tang Zhitong. The smile on his face would probably be understood by anyone who has let go of sheep.

"It does look similar. Can I eat it directly?" Tang Zhitong only pinched one and looked at it, with a crystal clear "heart".

"Yes, it's delicious." Han Deyin gave Tang Zhitong a taste, then put the other one into his mouth and started chewing.

Tang Zhitong followed suit and chewed it a few times. The taste was unexpectedly good. The meat was very tender, the skin was thin and juicy, the fragrance was sweet, the fruity flavor was rich, and it was seedless.

Tang Zhitong wanted to eat another one.

"Hey! Don't move!" Seeing Tang Zhitong trying to pick it, Han Deyin immediately called him to stop him.

"What's wrong?" Tang Zhitong was startled. When the people in front of the team heard the movement, they stopped and turned around to look.

"Did you see it? There are chili seeds here. The stings are very painful." Han Deyin pointed to the goat's milk fruit that Tang Zhitong wanted to pick. There was a caterpillar on the north side of the leaf on the fruit.

"Hey! Qinling Mountains also have this stuff??" Tang Zhitong was surprised. The spicy food in Han Deyin's mouth was the "terrestrial sea cucumber" mentioned in the previous article. This stuff is very unfriendly to human skin.

"Comrade Tang, do you want to try the Chacha fruit? You baby, it has thin skin and tender flesh, so don't do it, we will pick it for you. Not only are there spicy seeds on it, but it will itch like crazy if it is swept by the leaves." Old man Zhang looked at it When Han Deyin and Tang Zhitong gathered in front of a goat grandmother, they opened their mouths with smiles on their faces.

"No, no, I won't bother you all, I won't eat it." Tang Zhitong shook his head and said. He just wanted to pick another one to eat, so he did it.

The schedule is already tight, so I just need to use space to accommodate it when I pass by here again, but I don’t dare to delay everyone.

"Comrade Tang is just being polite when he talks. It's just a matter of helping others." Old man Zhang didn't listen to this and motioned for everyone to come forward to help. His thoughts were very simple and he was short-tempered. He couldn't catch him today. Tigers can't be difficult for others, right?

Tang Zhitong could only accept everyone's kindness and scattered most of the remaining packs of cigarettes in the cigarette box.

After this small episode, the team atmosphere became much better.

"Is there any other name for this thing?" Tang Zhitong put the Chacha fruit in his bag, ate it while walking, and asked Han Deyin. This guy just chose the most "imagery" name to tell him.

"Ang, Grandma Goat, Chacha Guo, and Crotch Pao'er, I think this thing is the most similar to Grandma Goat." Han Deyin touched his head sheepishly and said.

"Well, it does look similar." Tang Zhitong stuffed another one into his mouth. It would be better not to call it "crotch soaking". This name is easy to understand.
