Chapter 1883 Magical Fruit

"Here are you, eat!"

Ye Qingqing generously stuffed a bag of torreyas to Mrs. Zou, about four or five kilograms. Lin Shufang was very careful and packed each bag with five kilograms to avoid opening it frequently and getting wet. However, Lin Shufang underestimated the appetites of Wuchen and the others. There is not much left of the fifty kilograms she bought last time, and Lin Shufang has to ask relatives to send dozens more kilograms.

Nowadays, torreya seeds are not valuable at all, and they are not taken seriously in rural areas. They are a little more expensive than melon seeds. One hundred yuan can buy a lot. The mountain people who grow torreya seeds would never dream that in a few years, they will not take it seriously. The fruits of their work will allow them to live a prosperous and well-off life.

When Ye Qingqing went to Shengxian County in his previous life, although the mountain people lived in remote areas, their houses were beautifully built. Every household had a car. Young people all went to the city to buy houses. Not to mention the rich and the small. Ji'an is absolute.

Mrs. Zou was holding a large bag of torreya and felt embarrassed, "There are too many, I just want a little taste."

"I have dozens of kilograms at home, take it and eat it, no need to be polite!" Ye Qingqing was so proud that she would definitely not say that in ten years.

Zou Hanqiu said with a smile: "Then we are welcome. Over the years, I have heard my wife say how delicious torreya is every day, but I have never tasted it once. I need to open my eyes today."

Mrs. Zou opened the bag and took out a handful of torreya, which was about the size of a fingertip, oval in shape, with a gray-brown shell. It looked unremarkable, and this fruit was magical and took three years to grow.

The fruit harvested this year was actually grown three years ago. The outside has a thorny shell like a chestnut. After picking it, mash the thorny shell, then take out the fruit inside, add salt and fry it to become a delicious torreya.

"This fruit looks a bit like a small walnut." Zou Hanqiu thought it was a small walnut at first glance. There are quite a lot of small walnuts in Pingjiang. He and Zhang Zhengrong both like to eat them, especially the salt and pepper ones. They would grab a handful every day during filming. Peeling it slowly and eating it, it tasted really good, but it was easy to get angry. Zhang Zhengrong had three bubbles in his mouth, and he gnawed it without hesitation.

Zou Hanqiu picked one up and prepared to eat it like a small walnut, then put it into his mouth and bit it. Mrs. Zou laughed and stopped him.

"Small walnuts are round, and this one is oval. What's your look? Besides, you won't get angry after eating torreya. If you eat too many walnuts, you will get blisters on your tongue. I'll teach you how to eat them."

Mrs. Zou pointed to the pointed end, which had two symmetrical dots on it, like eyes. She squeezed it skillfully with two fingers, and there was a soft clicking sound, and the shell cracked neatly, revealing the inside. A dark layer.

"This black one cannot be eaten. It will fall off if you touch it lightly. This golden fruit is delicious. Smell it. Is it particularly fragrant?"

Mrs. Zou wiped off the black layer, and there was a piece of golden pulp between her fingers. She put it under Zou Hanqiu's nose and looked at him with a smile. Zou Hanqiu took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly, "It has a very special fragrance. No wonder it is called Where’s the torreya!”

He followed the same example and peeled a few walnuts to eat. The more he ate, the more delicious they became. He was full of praise, "This one is more fragrant than small walnuts, and it's not that difficult to peel. Is it true that it won't make you angry?"

Ye Qingqing smiled and said: "Not only will it not cause internal heat, but it can also moisturize the lungs. If children eat it, it can also kill worms in their stomachs."

Zou Hanqiu's eyes lit up, "Where can I buy this? Zhengrong likes to eat dried fruits. His tongue is almost rotten from chewing walnuts every day. I will get him some torreya to eat. He will definitely like it."

"This can only be grown in Shengxian County and some nearby small mountain villages. It is difficult to buy. How about this, I will ask someone to buy some for you." Ye Qingqing wanted Lin Shufang to help buy some more.
