Little Farmer Big Star

Soon afterwards, all the ripe fruits on the tree were picked.

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

Li Fan, Su Qing, and Xiao Yatou also left.

Continue to move forward, after walking for a while.

Li Fan saw a little girl not far ahead pointing to a red fruit on the ground and asked the adults around him, can that red fruit be eaten?

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

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

Then, the plants of this wild fruit are very short, with small pieces connected together.

There are small red fruits all over the ground, which look pretty good. It should also feel delicious.

But unfortunately, the small red fruit cannot be eaten.

The parent next to the child said: "You cannot eat this wild fruit. This is a snake fruit. It is eaten by snakes and cannot be eaten by humans."

When the little girl heard that the fruit was eaten by a snake, she was immediately frightened and subconsciously moved closer to the adult.

Snakes always make people feel inexplicably scared and frightened.

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

Why is it called snake fruit?

The reason is as parents said, because the fruit is said to be eaten by snakes, so it is called snake fruit.

Snake fruit is poisonous and cannot be eaten by humans.

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

This snake fruit is not that snake fruit.

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

Li Fan nodded and said: "The origin of the name should be that way. It's just that those are folk sayings and are inaccurate. In fact, this fruit is not eaten by snakes."

Su Qing nodded. She also knew that the fruit was definitely not eaten by snakes.

But why do people say that it is the fruit eaten by snakes?

Li Fan smiled and said: "That should be because we often see something like white foam under the snake fruit plant, on the back of the leaves, and on the snake fruit.

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

In addition, snake fruit likes to grow in dark and moist places, which coincides with the places where snakes like to hang out.

Therefore, people think that snakes will come to eat these fruits. That's why there is such a statement. "

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

Li Fan said: "It should be something vomited by a snail or something like that."

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

Li Fan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. In some places, it is also called snakeberry, or snakepao, etc. But generally speaking, it has the word "snake".

"

Su Qing said: "The names of snake fruit, snakeberry, and snakerpao all contain the word 'snake'. This shows that this kind of fruit is a fruit eaten by snakes, which can be found in various places. "

Li Fan nodded, this should indeed be the case.

Su Qing added: "Since that statement is wrong, then the snake fruit should not be poisonous and can be eaten, right?"

Li Fan shook his head and said: "No, snake fruit does contain trace amounts of toxicity. However, the toxicity is very trace and you can eat it. Just don't eat too much."

I see.

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

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

"That's it." Su Qing looked at the large piece of snake fruit in front of her and said, "Although it can't be eaten, it looks very beautiful. It's also very good for viewing."

Li Fan nodded. A green plant was covered with round red fruits, which was indeed very beautiful.

However, although the taste of snake fruit is not good, it is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its nature is sweet, bitter, and cold, and it belongs to the lung, liver, and large intestine meridian. Insect bites etc.

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

"That's it." Su Qing nodded.

At this time, more tourists also discovered a large area of ​​snake fruit here and gathered around.

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

"Haha! This is snake fruit. According to legend, snakes eat fruit. Do you still want to eat it?"

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

“It’s indeed not delicious, but it’s good for viewing and taking photos.”

"Don't tell me, such a large area is really beautiful."

"..."

As he said this, someone took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures with great interest.

The little girl took Li Fan and Su Qing away.

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

As I was walking, I heard someone say in surprise on a sunny hillside, "Wow! There are so many prickly pears there!"

Prickly pear, Li Fan's eyes lit up.

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 and improves fitness.

There are not many prickly pears in the area at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.

Of course, some people like the bitter, sour and sweet taste of prickly pears and like to eat them.

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

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

So, the three of them walked towards the hillside in the direction of the sound.

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

Many people are interested in prickly pears.

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

Prickly pear is not a pear, but the fruit of a perennial deciduous shrub of the Rosaceae family.

It is also called Sanwang fruit, thornberry fruit, French fruit, pear, wood pear, thorny pineapple, spring return, thorny sour pear, nine-headed bird, Wenxian fruit, etc.

There are so many names. Some are wild and some are specially cultivated.

Of course the prickly pears here are all wild.

The silk flower, or prickly pear tree, is a kind of growing shrub, usually 1 to 2.5 meters high, with branches covered with sharp thorns.

The prickly pear is a flat spherical shape, slightly smaller than a table tennis ball. The mature prickly pear is yellow or tan, and the whole body is also covered with sharp thorns.

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

A prickly pear tree is full of thorns from its branches to its fruits.

Therefore, you have to be very careful when picking prickly pears.

Otherwise, it is easy to get stabbed.

To eat the prickly pear fruit, you must also carefully remove the thorns from all over 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.
