Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 256: Picking Wild Fruits

"Fun? That's absolutely no problem. There is no need to prepare at all in Huatanao. I guarantee that you will have fun when you come." Su Mu laughed loudly.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted in private for a while, because they were worried that Xia Jin's mother would overhear and cause suspicion, so they reluctantly hung up the phone.

Looking at the time, it was more than 03:30.

Since returning to Huatanao to live a leisurely rural life, Su Mu has hardly any pressure to talk about.

His mother also adopts a laissez-faire approach, as long as there is no serious matter, she will not wake up Su Mu in the morning or at noon, but let him sleep as he pleases.

In fact, drinking the space lake water with the effect of strengthening the body all day, Su Mu sleeps very well at night, almost as soon as he touches the pillow, and naturally wakes up early in the morning.Today, he just drank a few more glasses of wine, and slept for a long time with the help of alcohol. Usually, his lunch break rarely exceeds half an hour.

"Muzi woke up? Not to mention, the wine made by the villagers is really good, with enough stamina!" As soon as the door was opened, Huang Zhuo's father greeted him with a smile.

At this moment, he was sitting with Su Mu's father drinking tea under the grape arbor. The sun was scorching outside, but it was very cool under the grape arbor. He was very comfortable holding a big cattail fan to fan the wind.

"Just woke up, as we said just now, Brother Huang came all the way to find some good materials to make wine. Apart from the newly threshed wheat that can be used to make wine, sorghum and millet are not ready yet. So I thought, there are so many wild fruits on the mountain, let's go up the mountain to get some back, and make some wild fruit wine, it must be better than the one you fiddled with."

Su Mu's father fanned the wind with a folding fan and discussed with him.

After all, it is still necessary for the well-known son to take the lead in picking wild fruits up the mountain, so he can muster enough people to pick a large number of wild fruits needed for wine making.

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Su Mu also sat down on the rattan chair, and said with a smile, "Isn't it just picking wild fruits, no problem! However, it seems that there will be a lot of wild fruits in autumn, right? What's on the mountain now? The fruit bears a lot? Can it be used to make wine?"

"Uh..." Su Mu's father and Huang Zhuo's father looked at each other and were stunned.

The two of them discussed together for a long time, but they didn't even figure out what fruits are available on the mountain this season!

"Yes, I'd better find someone who understands and ask." Su Mu chuckled, and was about to stand up and go out, but saw Xiao Nier from the backyard passing by the door.

He hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Nizi, what are you doing? Just turn around the back street and tell you Grandpa Dayong, just say I'm looking for him!"

"Brother Muzi, don't think I'm young, but I have a lot of seniority. I don't care if he's called Grandpa, but Dayong has to call me Gu..." Xiao Nier wiped her nose and muttered in a low voice.

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this little girl to be of a different seniority!
However, Uncle Dayong had to call her Gu, and that little Nier called Brother Muzi just now, hehe, it seems that I have taken advantage of it a little bit!
Thinking of this, Su Mu couldn't help laughing.

"What's so fun about a silly kid? That's how it is in the village. They pay attention to seniority. You haven't seen an old man with a gray beard, and he calls a little doll running around the ground grandpa. That's just amused." Su Mu's father didn't notice Bug, thought he was teasing the issue of seniority, so he laughed and joked.

Within a few minutes, Liang Dayong, wearing a straw hat and barefoot, walked into the courtyard in three steps, "Why, I heard that Muzi has something to do with me, why?"

"Hey, did you hear what your aunt said?" Su Mu couldn't help laughing.

Liang Dayong twitched his lips, took off his straw hat and sat on the empty rattan chair under the grape arbor, muttering, "I'm not old enough to be called a carrot. What's the matter? By the way, I have to tell Xiao Nier in the future, I can't always call you brother, you are taking advantage of me!"

"Okay, okay, let's stop joking and talk about business." Su Mu quickly changed the subject when he thought about how Xiao Nizi repeated it, "Uncle Huang wants to find some wild fruits to make wine, what kind of wild fruits are there on the mountain now? The kind that can be picked in large quantities to make wine!"

"Wild fruit?" Liang Dayong thought for a while and replied, "If it were autumn, there would be more. Now it is much more monotonous. If you can pick a large number, you can try to use purple sticks."

"Purple sticky?!"

When such a new term appeared, Su Mu's father and Huang Zhuo's father were stunned. They had never heard of such a name before.

Su Mu seems to have a little impression, but he can't remember where he heard of it for a while.

"Look at your memory. At that time, I took Xiaojin up the mountain with her mother. Didn't I even pull a bunch of purple sticky vines for her to eat as a fruit? You said it was delicious. Even after eating too much, the tongue Both lips and lips are purple and black, and when the tongue sticks out, it's scary."

Seeing that he was also confused, Liang Dayong reminded him.

After what he said, Su Mu suddenly realized, and barely recalled the small berries that seemed to be as big as glass balls.

It tastes sweet and a little sour, but the taste is really good, but he is not sure whether it can be used to make wine.

"There must be no problem in making wine. A few years ago, there was not enough food to eat, and it was not time to go to the mountains to pick wild fruits in autumn. There was an old alcoholic in the village who was greedy, so he made wine with Zinier. However, that stuff is sour and sweet. Yes, the people in our village are used to burning knives, so how can they be willing to drink that thing? The children and women are rare, so they have nothing to drink when they are free."

"As long as you can make wine!" Huang Zhuo's father slapped his thigh and decided to try some.

Anyway, being idle is idle, and it will take some time to brew wine from new wheat, and even if it is brewed, it will have to wait until the end of the year to drink it.It would be nice if we could brew some fruit wine now.

"Then invite people to go up the mountain to pick purple sticks?" Liang Dayong saw them make a decision, and immediately suggested: "That thing is a vine, and sometimes a purple sticky vine can climb more than ten meters away. Well. So, I’m going to gather those kids, they usually like to go up the mountain to think about snacks, and they have picked purple sticks a lot, so I’m sure it’s okay to let them do things.”

After deciding on the matter of picking wild fruits, Liang Da left in a hurry, and brought back a group of boy scouts not long after.

Today is the weekend, and these kids are discussing to wait for the weather to cool and go up the mountain to find some wild game. Hearing that Su Mu is going to gather people to pick purple sticky, they all eagerly signed up.

"It's still an old rule to go up the mountain. Let Uncle Da Yong lead the team. Everyone has to listen to him! No one is allowed to run around without organization and discipline. Also, everyone should bring a snake stick. The grass is deep on the mountain now, and walking Look around, don't encounter snakes..." Su Mu thought for a while, and then picked up the important ones and explained the things that should be paid attention to when going up the mountain.
