"That's right, Jiang He is too bold." The two elders looked at Old Man Li in disagreement. Although there is no problem with animals, after all, it is something you don't know, so you can't just put it in your mouth. If there is any problem, it will be too late to regret it. Fortunately, Jiang He's wife is not here, otherwise Jiang He would have suffered.
Gulan was the calmest person at this time, but she also pretended to stop him. Originally, this thing was not poisonous and was delicious, so Gulan was naturally calm. Even she hadn't expected Uncle Li to be so bold that he would just take it and start eating it, which was inconsistent with the calmness, wisdom and caution that Uncle Li usually showed.
"Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? If not, induce vomiting." The two elders looked at Old Man Li worriedly and reminded him.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Yong is right." Village Chief Li also nodded in agreement.
They were talking back and forth, leaving Old Man Li no chance to speak. Village Chief Li was so worried that he was about to help him induce vomiting.
In this situation, Gulan couldn't get a word in, but she was quite moved by the friendship between the old men.
Old man Li quickly stopped the village chief's hand and shouted "I'm fine" before his ears quieted down.
Seeing that the clan elders and the village chief were still worried, Old Man Li felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and then he said helplessly but seriously: "It's really okay."
"Don't worry, it's okay. Don't you know me? Even though I'm so old, I'm actually the one most afraid of death. Would I be so stupid? I have a big family, and I don't see my family living a peaceful life. How could I be so reckless?"
"I believe in Gulan, Dahei, and my own intuition. Before I ate it, I could smell a faint sweet scent coming from it. If you don't believe me, just smell it for yourself and you'll know." As he spoke, Old Man Li handed the remaining red bumps in his hand to the clan elder.
Putting it under the nose, the three of them together and looked at each other. There was indeed a sweet smell.
"Yeah, that's why I wanted to try it because I smelled it."
"What's the result? How does it taste? Is it edible?"
"I've already swallowed it, isn't it obvious? Not only is it edible, but it tastes really good, with a hint of sweetness and juice."
Old man Li thought it was really good. It tasted better than the wild fruits he had eaten before. Most wild fruits were so sour that they made your teeth ache, but this one had a sweet taste. As he said this, Old Man Li wanted to take back the red bump that he had bitten from the village chief's hand and try it again, but the village chief retracted his hand and dodged him.
Following Li Jiang He's example, He took a bite of the other end of the red lump. No matter how good the advice is, it is better to take a bite yourself to have a deeper understanding, otherwise he will always be a little bit unbelieving. After taking a bite, he realized that what Jiang He said was true. It was not only juicy, but also tasted really good, sweet and delicious. It's just that his teeth aren't very good now, so the food is a bit hard and difficult to chew, but he still chewed it carefully and swallowed it.
What did the two elders not understand at this time? They didn't mind that the red bump had been bitten by two people and took another bite. It's just that their teeth are worse, but they can taste the flavor, and it's indeed delicious.
The eyes of several people brightened instantly and they looked at Gulan at the same time, but when they thought of the place where Gulan had discovered, their eyes dimmed at the same time. They almost forgot that these things were dug up by Gulan from the mountains. No matter how good they were, they didn't dare let their sons dig them!
What a pity, such a good thing.
I just don't know if it can be planted. Almost everyone thought of this at the same time, and they all looked at the red lump in Gulan's hand. But soon, they eyes dimmed again. It's useless to think too much. They don't even know where to settle down now, let alone farm.
Gulan could clearly see the changes in the emotions of the village chief and others. Although she couldn't understand almost everything, she could guess a little bit. It is true that everyone is fleeing from famine now, so it is useless to think more.
With a smile, Gulan distributed the few sweet potatoes she had to the village chief and others, just one to each person, thinking of giving a few more to each family after returning. After walking around and making way for Sweet Potato, Gulan returned to the tent.
As soon as she entered the tent, she smelled the sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes. There were several people sitting around the fire, and even Dahei was lying quietly beside it, twitching his nose from time to time. Daya and Erya also came back. The two little girls looked at the fire with anticipation. There was a basket of wild vegetables not far away.
In the past, when seeing Gulan coming in, AnAn would always be the first one to rush over. But this time, he just called him "Dad" and then turned his gaze back to the fire. It was obvious that the things inside were more attractive than him, the "dad".
"You're back." Xiang Yunjin stood up and walked towards Gulan, uttering these three words very naturally.
It was so natural that Gulan had an inexplicable feeling, as if they were really a family.
"Yeah," Gulan nodded. "The village chief and the other don't know it either. If this thing doesn't exist in other places, I think it's a new species that hasn't been discovered yet." Gulan took the initiative to speak without waiting for Yunjin to ask.
"You are literate and rich, so you should read a lot of books. Is there really no record about this thing?" Gulan said deliberately again.
Xiang Yunjin was choked by Gulan's words. It is true that he is rich and can read, but that does not mean that literate people will read widely and have a wide range of knowledge. There are many things he doesn't know, such as the burr ball a few days ago and a red bump today.
"Who told you that you must know everything if you can read? There are so many things in this world, who can dare to say that they know them all? And how do you know that I read a lot of books? You must know that there is a kind of people called dandies, right? Maybe I am such a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and cause trouble every day! There are so many things I don't know." Xiang Yunjin was in a rare mood and made fun of himself. Unfortunately, Gulan obviously didn't believe it and gave him a big eye roll.
"Yes, yes, I understand, dandy boy." It seems that there are really no sweet potatoes.
"By the way, dandy boy, do you want this thing?" When his eyes came into contact with the coarse cloth on the wooden stake, Gulan, who had almost forgotten about it, suddenly said.
"What?" Xiang Yunjin was stunned.
"That's it..." Gulan pointed at the piece of cloth on the wooden stake.
Xiang Yunjin: "..."
So what exactly is in that? Do you ask him if he wants it?
After Gulan left, the piece of cloth has been left there and no one has touched it. AnAn is not interested in it, and Dahei has never even approached it. And he would never touch other people's things without their consent. It is politeness and also the most basic principle of being a human being. Since Gulan asked him if he wanted it, it seemed that there must be at least good stuff in it.
Xiang Yunjin glanced at Gulan calmly, "Do you want me to take a look at what it is first?"
"That's for sure," Gulan nodded.
She believed that this guy would definitely be interested after seeing it. Isn't it said that rich people cherish their lives? Ginseng is a good herb for saving lives, not to mention that it is an indispensable herb in many life-saving prescriptions. Moreover, the plant she took out was not small in size. Gulan couldn't tell the exact age, but she was sure that it was at least a hundred years or even thousands of years.
