Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 104 Discovering August Melon

Gu Yan walked over with curiosity in his eyes, took a closer look, and couldn't help but smile. Haha, his heart had become clear.

This is my sister's good luck!

It turned out that behind the bushes, there was a large area of ​​fruits that seemed vaguely familiar to him.

He has a good memory.

If he guessed correctly, these should be - wax gourds!

But Gu Qingzhi's eyes did not fall on the fruits.

Instead, he stared at a nest of pheasant eggs under the vine.

She is not familiar with various wild fruits and vegetables, but she has a special liking for wild eggs.

What a big nest of pheasant eggs! I counted them and there are sixteen of them.

Undoubtedly, this was a robbery.

When they walked out of the bushes, Gu Yan still felt unbelievable.

After careful identification just now, he was finally sure that these were indeed extremely rare and precious wax gourds. This was not the first time he had come to pick wax gourds from this pine tree, but before this, every year when he visited this place, he had never noticed that there was a bush here, and he had no idea that behind this bush there were such a large area of ​​wild wax gourds, and there was even a pheasant's nest hidden under the vines!

Gu Yan tied up the two pheasants with vines and hid them properly behind the bushes.

Then he turned around and warned Gu Qingzhi, "Qingqing, don't tell anyone about what happened here.

When we are ready to go back, we will come back to collect the pheasant and the nest of pheasant eggs."

After all, this place is relatively secluded and seldom visited. He is on the tree, so it is very convenient for him to keep an eye on it.

Perhaps it is because of this that the wild wax gourd has not been discovered by others.

Gu Qingzhi quickly handed over the water bag, "I understand, brother, drink some water first."

She turned around to look at the fruits she had just seen and asked casually, "Can these fruits be eaten?"

Gu Qingzhi had never seen fruit like this before, and seeing that her brother was quite excited, she couldn't help but feel curious.

These fruits are quite large and their shapes are quite similar to papayas.

She leaned in closer and could smell a faint fruity aroma.

Seeing that Gu Qingzhi was interested, Gu Yan pointed to one of the slightly cracked fruits and began to introduce it.

"This kind of fruit is called August melon. If it's slightly cracked like this one, it's ripe and ready to eat.

It is best to pick it at this time because it has already cracked and tastes the best.

If left for too long, the flesh will deteriorate.

Moreover, this wax gourd not only has sweet flesh, but its whole body is also full of treasures!

For example, its peel can be used to make tea; the black seeds are suitable for making wine; and the vine is a traditional Chinese medicinal material.

In addition, wax gourd can also be processed into cooking oil, tea or dishes, etc. ”

Gu Yan gently stroked his sister's hair and explained the story in detail in a gentle tone.

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi's eyes sparkled with admiration.

It turns out that this strange fruit is called wax gourd.

She looked at her brother with admiration and exclaimed, "Wow! Brother, you know so much!

Compared to you, I know absolutely nothing about this.”

Gu Qingzhi said with some regret, "Even if I saw it on the mountain, I would have missed it."

Gu Yan's ears blushed slightly, he pursed his lips shyly, and replied softly: "No, I just tasted it when I was a child, so I know a little more about it."

"That's amazing too."

In Gu Qingzhi's mind, her brother knows everything and is the most powerful. This is just a mindless boast.

She was concerned about the practical issue again, "Can this be sold?"

It never occurred to me to pick some and taste them myself.

Gu Yan thought to himself that if possible, they could pick some ripe wax melons before going back and give them to the Zhao family tomorrow to try.

But then again, the wax gourd is quite expensive and most families may not be able to afford it.

After all, its planting and preservation conditions are quite harsh, so few people will plant it, and it basically grows in the wild.

Because of this, it is scarce and expensive!

He has been wandering around this mountain for so long, but this is the first time he has encountered this.

This is all thanks to my sister.

However, today's incident reminded him of his days at Boying Academy.

I remember when I was in the academy, a rich kid from the state capital sent a few wax gourds to please the dean.

The dean gave them as prizes to students with top test scores.

The rich young man boasted proudly: "This wax gourd is an extremely rare treasure.

I don’t have many at home. They are all rare fruits brought back from the distant Hongzhou City!

Moreover, this wax gourd is not only extremely delicious, but also has many other uses..."

What followed was a rapid introduction that made the students, who had never tasted such a delicacy, salivate.

As for Gu Yan, he naturally won the top spot without any suspense and successfully got half a wax gourd.

It was a pity that there was only half a piece and it was difficult to store, so I had no choice but to share it with a few familiar classmates and friends.

As for the taste, it’s really good.

After all, it is a rare thing.

For this purpose, he even went to look for relevant books about the August melon.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to face Qingqing’s question today.

Gu Yan was very glad for his curiosity at the time, and decided to read more books in the future to avoid encountering problems that he could not explain.

When Gu Lin saw Gu Yan carrying a bag full of wax melons down the mountain, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth!

And when he saw the pheasants and pheasant eggs in the bamboo basket behind Gu Yan, he found it even more unbelievable. "What are these?"

Gu Lin stepped forward with a suspicious look on his face and took a closer look.

At this time, Gu Yan patiently introduced it to him: "This is wax gourd, a very delicious wild fruit. I plan to take it to the Zhao family tomorrow to taste it and see if I can sell it."

Although Gu Lin didn't know what the so-called August melon was, Gu Cheng next to him knew it very well.

He got closer to the bag of wax gourds, took a closer look, and confirmed with surprise: "It's really wax gourds."

In an instant, Gu Cheng became extremely excited, because this kind of wax gourd is really rare.

At this moment, a lively and lovely young lady came running over like a little rabbit, happily asking for credit: "Daddy, big brother, look, these wax gourds were all found by Qing'er! Isn't Qing'er great?"

After saying this, she looked at everyone expectantly.

Gu Cheng nodded her little head lovingly, expressing his approval: "Well, it's really great. Our Qingqing has made a great contribution this time! But be careful, don't run too fast."
