Little Farmer Big Star

Soon after, the ripe fruit on the entire tree was picked.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, then dispersed, looking for other wild fruits.

Li Fan, Su Qing, and the little girl also left.

Continue on, after walking for a while.

Li Fan saw a little girl pointing at a kind of red fruit on the ground not far ahead, and asked the adults around him, is that kind of red fruit safe to eat?

Li Fan looked at it, and saw that the wild fruit pointed by the little girl was round, like a small red sphere.

At first glance, it also looks like a strawberry, but only a little bit, not like the wild fruit just now.

Then, the plant of this wild fruit is very short, and the small pieces are connected together.

The ground is full of those little red fruits, which look pretty good. It should also taste delicious.

But unfortunately, the small red fruit cannot be eaten.

The parent next to the child said: "This kind of wild fruit cannot be eaten. This is a snake fruit, which is eaten by snakes and cannot be eaten by humans."

When the little girl heard that it was the fruit eaten by the snake, she was startled and leaned towards the adult subconsciously.

Snakes always make people feel inexplicably frightened and frightened.

Li Fan smiled slightly. However, the parent was right, that small red fruit is indeed called a snake fruit.

Why is it called snake fruit?

The reason is also as the parents said, because the fruit is eaten by snakes in legend, so it is called snake fruit.

The snake fruit is poisonous and cannot be eaten by humans.

There is a fruit that looks like an apple and seems to be called a snake fruit.

This snake fruit is not that snake fruit.

Su Qing also saw the snake fruit and said, "I've heard people say the origin of the name 'snake fruit'. But is it really like that?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "There should be nothing wrong with the origin of the name.

However, those are all folk sayings and are not accurate. In fact, this fruit is not the fruit eaten by snakes. "

Su Qing nodded, she also knew that that kind of fruit was definitely not eaten by snakes.

However, why do folks say that it is the fruit eaten by snakes?

Li Fan said with a smile: "That should be because we often see some white foam-like things under the plants of the snake fruit, on the back of the leaves, and on the snake fruit.

This white foam-like thing is very similar to the white foam seen in places where snakes live.

In addition, snake fruit likes to grow in dark and damp places, which is exactly in line with the places snakes like to haunt.

Therefore, everyone thinks that snakes will come to eat these fruits. There will be such a statement. "

Su Qing nodded and said, "What are those white foams on the snake fruit?"

Li Fan said: "It should be something like a snail."

Su Qing nodded and said, "This kind of wild fruit should also be very common. Is it also called snake fruit in other places?"

Li Fan shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Some places are also called Snakeberry, or Snake Bubbles, etc. But generally, they have the word 'snake'."

Su Qing said: "The names of Snake Fruit, Snakeberry, and Snake Pao all have the word 'snake' in them. This means that this kind of fruit, the fruit eaten by snakes, is said to be found everywhere. "

Li Fan nodded, it should be true.

Su Qing said again: "Since that statement is wrong. The snake fruit should be non-poisonous and can be eaten, right?"

Li Fan shook his head and said, "No, snake fruit does contain a small amount of toxicity. However, the toxicity is very small, and it can be eaten. It's just that you can't eat too much."

I see.

Su Qing giggled and said, "Have you ever eaten it?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "I have eaten it. However, it tastes bland and a little astringent. The taste is very bad, and it is not delicious at all. This is probably the main reason why no one eats snake fruit."

"Is that so?" Su Qing looked at the large piece of snake fruit in front of her and said, "Although you can't eat it. However, it looks very beautiful. It's also very good for viewing."

Li Fan nodded. On a green bush, there were small round red fruits. It was really pretty.

However, although the taste of snake fruit is not good, it is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its properties are sweet, bitter and cold. It belongs to the lung, liver, and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, reducing swelling and detoxification. Insect bites etc.

Therefore, snake fruit can also be said to be a good thing.

"So it is." Su Qing nodded.

At this time, more tourists also found a large piece of snake fruit here, and they came around one after another.

"What a big piece of snake fruit! It looks so good. It's a pity that it doesn't taste good."

"Haha! This is a snake fruit. According to legend, the fruit eaten by snakes, do you still want to eat it?"

"That's just a legend. In fact, this kind of fruit is also edible, but it's not delicious, and no one wants to eat it."

"It's really not delicious, but it's good for viewing and taking pictures."

"Don't say it, such a large film is really beautiful."

"..."

With that said, someone took out their mobile phone and started taking pictures, in high spirits.

The little girl took Li Fan and Su Qing away.

The little girl has no interest in snake fruit at all.

Walking and walking, on a sunny hillside, I heard someone's surprise voice, "Wow! There are so many prickly pears there!"

Li Fan's eyes lit up with the prickly pear.

Although the taste of prickly pear is not very good, it tastes bitter, sweet and sour, and the taste is a bit strange. But it is a nutritious fruit that nourishes fitness.

At the foot of Baiyun Mountain, there are not many prickly pears.

Of course, some people like the bitter, sour and sweet taste of prickly pear very much, and they like to eat it.

"Has anyone found a prickly pear? Let's go over and take a look." Su Qing said.

Of course Li Fan and the little girl have no opinion.

So, the three of them walked towards the hillside, where the sound came from.

At the same time, other tourists around who heard the sound were also approaching.

Many people are very interested in prickly pear.

Li Fan, Su Qing, and the little girl walked up the hillside, and they saw a large prickly pear in front of them.

The prickly pear is not a pear, but the fruit of the reel flower, a perennial deciduous shrub of the Rosaceae family.

Also known as mountain king fruit, thorn berry fruit, franco fruit, pear, wood pear, thorn pineapple, spring return, thorn sour pear, nine-headed bird, Wen Xian fruit, etc.

There are many names. There are wild ones and some are specially cultivated.

The prickly pears here are of course all wild.

The reeling flower, or the prickly pear tree, is a developing shrub, generally 1 to 2.5 meters high, with spikes on the branches.

The prickly pear is oblate and slightly smaller than a ping pong ball. The ripe prickly pear is yellow or tawny, and it is also covered with spikes.

This is probably the reason why it is called "thorn pear".

A prickly pear tree has thorns everywhere, from branches to fruit.

So, be very careful when picking prickly pears.

Otherwise, it is easy to be stabbed.

To eat prickly pear fruit, you must also carefully remove the thorns around the prickly pear.

Otherwise, you can't eat it.

"Do you two want to eat?" Li Fan asked Su Qing and the little girl.

Su Qing and the little girl nodded at the same time.
