Chapter 314
The two continued to go deep into the woods, occasionally seeing various fruit trees, and Qiongying would pause for a while to observe the fruit trees.

Ye Chen wondered why the master kept looking at all kinds of fruit trees. Most of the fruit trees here are not edible. Although they are not poisonous, some taste bitter and some are sour and unpalatable.

Walking around in the woods, he saw a fruit tree that was neither tall nor short, and Qiongying stopped to observe.

The fruit tree has lush branches and leaves, and the tree is full of small blue fruits, slightly round in shape, slightly larger than grapes, and green in color.

Ye Chen saw that this was emblica, remembering that she said four years ago that emblica was very special.

"Is it emblica?" Qiongying asked, she was looking for peaches, but unexpectedly saw this fruit tree.

"Exactly." Ye Chen nodded, the fruit of emblica has a long ripening period, from June to August, almost three months.

"You seem to have said that emblica is the best." Qiongying suddenly remembered that when she tasted it for the first time, he said that emblica was the best.

"Yes." Ye Chen's eyes moved slightly, could it be that the master still remembers what happened four years ago, the master never remembers trivial things.

"Would you like to pick some?" Qiong Ying has already reached out to pick the branches, and the branches are hanging down, and the fruits can be picked easily.

Ye Chen was stunned, just watched her pick, the master seemed to like to pick it himself.

Qiongying grabbed a handful of fruit in one hand, and she didn't stop until both hands were full of fruit.

Ye Chen folded a piece of wild taro leaf and held it in front of her: "Master, you can put it here."

"I'll pick some for you." Qiongying put down the fruit in his hand and continued picking.

Ye Chen couldn't help himself, how could he bother the master to pick it for him personally, he wanted to refuse but didn't know how to refuse, and it was rare to see the master was interested.

Qiongying has picked a lot, deliberately selecting round and smooth emblical fruits.

Seeing the different sizes of emblica, but they were all bright in color, Ye Chen hesitated to speak: "Master..."

"What's wrong?" Qiongying filled both hands with fruit.

"Yellow-green emblical fruit is slightly transparent, indicating that the fruit is ripe. Green emblical fruit is slightly green, indicating that it is not yet ripe. And there is an agricultural proverb called crooked melon cracking dates, that is, there are marks on the peel, or the appearance Poor fruits may be more delicious." Ye Chen explained that the fruits that can be sent to the fortress are all very beautiful, and there will be no crooked melons or cracked dates.

"So, why didn't you say so earlier? You want to put the unripe fruit back on the tree?" Qiongying unknowingly picked a lot of immature emblica.

Ye Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and put the fruit back on the tree, probably only she could have figured it out.

Qiongying twisted out the immature emblical fruit and threw it away. In this way, half of the fruit was lost.

So, Qiongying continued to pick some mature ones to make up for.

"Is this kind of fruit with traces more delicious?" Qiongying picked an emblical fruit with scarred skin.

"The farming proverb says so, but the taste of the fruit is also related to the variety, region, planting method, etc., and it cannot be generalized." Ye Chen said.

"The fruit doesn't look good, why do you think it tastes better?" Qiongying was very puzzled, she always thought that the fruit that is round and bright in color is ripe and delicious.

"Well, I don't know either." Ye Chen didn't quite understand either.

"Maybe it's just like people can't be judged by their appearance." Qiong Ying then picked a lot of crooked melons and dates.

After picking the emblical fruit, the two returned to the stream to wash the fruit.
