Looking over, Li Yingjie found that it was indeed a pepper tree.

This tree has obviously grown for some years, with a height of seven or eight meters. The surrounding branches spread out, with a diameter of more than ten meters. The branches and branches are all covered with large and small spikes.

"Be careful not to get stuck!"

Li Yingjie pushed aside a branch and told Lin Xiaoying to be careful.

Lin Xiaoying looked at it and asked curiously: "Is this the pepper tree? I haven't seen it before!"

"I've never seen it before. It's not like wheat, corn and rice. Although it is widely distributed, the planting area is not very large. Some people think that pepper is grown on vines!" Li Yingjie said with a smile.

He didn't think it was strange. He hadn't seen it before, so he didn't know what it was.

Most of the people in their rural areas had never heard of WIFI more than ten years ago, so it is not surprising that it has not been popularized in the past.

People in the city laugh at the people in the countryside for not having been to KTV, and people in the countryside laugh at the people in the city for not knowing that peanuts are grown in the soil. This is a prejudice, and no one has anything to be proud of.

Just like today's online novels, or short videos of a certain sound and hand, some people like to read them, and some people don't like to read them, there is nothing wrong with that.

But if you don’t like to watch it and feel that you are more elegant than the person who likes to watch it, then you are very wrong!
Li Yingjie pointed to the branch of the pepper tree, and said to Lin Xiaoying: "Look at that, that's the peppercorns, they didn't fall off after drying, they're still hanging on the tree!"

Li Yingjie immediately felt that the harvest this time was big enough, and he found a seasoning in an instant.

When the Zanthoxylum bungeanum first grows, it is blue. After it grows up, it is picked off and dried for a period of time, and it turns into a common black color. Of course, there are also Zanthoxylum bungeanum that is still blue even after drying.

However, the peppercorns on this tree have all turned black.

Seeing a lot of prickly ash hanging on the branches, Li Yingjie looked down at the ground again, and was surprised to find that there were also a lot of peppers on the ground.

"Look at the ground! The ground is too!" He hastily pointed it out to Lin Xiaoying.

The two immediately started collecting these peppercorns.

Li Yingjie found a twig and went to knock it off, while Lin Xiaoying picked up the ones that fell to the ground below.

The two of them didn't bring any small containers, and they put them in a pot at first, but when the pot was full, they simply put them all in the basket behind them.

Li Yingjie said: "Don't pick up the underground ones, I found that the ones on the trees are enough for us to eat!"

After a while, the two picked up half a basket of peppercorns, probably enough to fill three or four pots, but they all had small twigs, so there should be one pot after trimming them clean.

Fortunately, this pepper tree is relatively large, and by this time, the peppers on the tree have not been completely picked.

"These... are almost there!" Lin Xiaoying looked at them, feeling that this was enough for them to eat for a year!

Li Yingjie also thought so, so the two stopped.

"Let's eat first, if it's not enough, I'll look for it elsewhere later!"

The two wandered around for a long time, but in the end they didn't find anything other than peppercorns.

When they returned to the bamboo hut, it was almost dark, and the bamboo hut was not close to the water source. The straight line distance was about four or five kilometers, so they went to fetch water first, and then went back.

Li Yingjie was holding a pot of water, and before he got close to the bamboo house, he exclaimed.

"Fuck! What did this guy catch?"

Lin Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and she didn't see Chen Ge cutting a large piece of meat until she walked for another 2 minutes.

There was also a fur hanging from a nearby tree.

"What is this?" Lin Xiaoying asked in surprise.

"It's a hyena. Not long after you left, it sneaked over by itself and was hacked to death by me!" Chen Ge raised his head and replied with a smile.

With a hatchet in his hand, he was cutting the meat into small pieces. It seemed that he was going to cut the meat into small pieces and smoke it like Li Yingjie and the others did.

"Smoke it with pine wood, it's more fragrant!" Li Yingjie said casually.

He grabbed some prickly ash from the basket behind his back, put it in front of him and said, "Add some of this while stewing, it will taste better!"

After speaking, she dragged Lin Xiaoying to continue walking towards the bamboo house.

"Let's eat together later!" Chen Ge said.

Li Yingjie shook his head while walking, and said mercilessly:
"No, we don't eat hyena meat, it's too dirty!"

Lin Xiaoying asked in a low voice: "Is it really appropriate for you to speak like this?"

Li Yingjie smiled confidently: "He can't beat me again!"

Chen Ge: "..."

He looked at the lump of hyena meat in front of him, and suddenly didn't know whether he should eat it or not. Was he too casual?

But I have never heard of hyena meat being dirty before!
……

After Li Yingjie and Lin Xiaoying went back, the fire at Chen Ge's place was still burning, so they also saved the fire.

The two brought the fire over, set the pot on top to boil water, and then began to arrange the peppercorns.

The picked prickly ash has branches, so although it looks like a lot, there are not many prickly ash that can be used.

Lin Xiaoying picked those small branches, and Li Yingjie took the bamboo next to him, and prepared to weave a small basket with a lid, and put the peppercorns in it.

In the distance, while handling the hyena meat, Chen Ge quietly looked in the direction of Li Yingjie and Lin Xiaoying.

The life of these two people seems to have always been very interesting. After they sat down, they started chatting, and laughed a lot from time to time. The two would laugh together, and they didn't care if they looked good when they laughed.

In Chen Ge's eyes, Li Yingjie's image is both mysterious and calm, Chen Ge can't see through him, but he seems to be in control of everything, there are no huge fluctuations in his emotions, and he is very organized when doing things .

On the surface, Lin Xiaoying looked like a naive little girl, sometimes she would smirk, and her face would become a little round when she smiled, very cute, and there was no scheming in her eyes.

However, she can cooperate well with Li Yingjie, and most of the time, she can easily understand Li Yingjie's thoughts.

From this point, Chen Ge dared to conclude that Lin Xiaoying was not as naive as she appeared on the surface.

Her heart is definitely like a bright mirror, everything is very clear.

These two are like a couple who have lived together for a long time, but, according to them, they only met when they participated in the competition last year, and it has only been a little over a year now!

There wasn't much meat on the hyenas. After cutting them, Chen Ge smoked and roasted them while quietly observing Li Yingjie and Lin Xiaoying.

Lin Xiaoying had already started to barbecue, and Li Yingjie had a pile of bamboo slices at his feet, and he was weaving something in his hands.

As time passed, the thing in Li Yingjie's hand quickly took shape. It was a basket about the size of a computer mainframe. From a distance, Chen Ge could see that the basket was a bit boxy.

Lin Xiaoying's mocking voice came over: "Hahaha, it's a square one again, don't you know how to make a circle!"

Li Yingjie immediately defended: "Weaving baskets, weaving baskets is a manual job!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ge couldn't hear the words of what can be used as long as it can be used, the area of ​​force, and the lack of tools. They were too far away.

However, he could feel the happy atmosphere in front of the bamboo house!
