Chapter 120 Delicious Mulberries (Part 9)
An hour later, Chen Zhe, who had collected enough cocoons, returned to the camp with rich spoils.
At this time, Yan'er and the others had already achieved great results. Several fresh wolf skins were peeled and hung by the bonfire.
Chen Zhe did not rush to enter the courtyard, but first took the picked mulberries to the stream and washed them clean. The fresh mulberries became more crystal clear under the water of the stream. The fruits were shining with brilliance, and the brightly colored juice flowed along the fingers and slowly dripped on the ground.
After washing the mulberries, he walked into the yard and said to the three girls who were working hard: "Let's have a rest and come and eat some fruit."
Hearing Chen Zhe's voice, Yan'er was the first to stand up excitedly: "Brother Chen is back?"
Da Qiao also smiled politely and said, "Are you back?"
Xiao Qiao seemed to have a little emotion. After all, the three girls worked in the yard for most of the day, but Chen Zhe continued to disappear. However, when she heard that there were fruits to eat, her little emotion immediately disappeared.
Xiao Qiao is a very simple-minded guy. As long as you have enough delicious food, she will have no objection even if she sells her.
The three of them put down their work and walked towards Chen Zhe together.
After getting closer, they saw the mulberries picked by Chen Zhe. The crystal fruit looked very delicious.
Everyone was busy all morning and baked animal skins next to the campfire. The temperature on the island was already high, and now it was even more dry. Seeing such moist fruits as mulberries, everyone felt that the tongue was full of saliva.
Xiao Qiao couldn't hold back at first, stretched out her dirty hand and said, "I want to try it!"
Unexpectedly, before she could get the mulberries, a black shadow flashed.
"Bang!"
My sister Da Qiao slapped Xiao Qiao in the hand and said with a stern face: "You have wolf blood on your hands. If you don't wash your hands, you want to eat?"
Several people were skinning the wolf in the morning, and their hands were inevitably stained with some blood. The blood stains of wild animals are very dangerous, and they carry a large number of viruses and parasites, which must be cleaned carefully.
Xiao Qiao foolishly used her dirty hands to grab things and eat them, and it is very likely that she would eat unclean things into her stomach.
Xiao Qiao was scolded by her sister, and her little face was full of grievances.
She glanced at the mulberries and said pitifully: "But I just want to eat them, I'm so thirsty..."
Speaking of this, her beautiful big eyes suddenly turned, she blinked at Chen Zhe, and said quirkyly: "How about this, Chen Zhe, feed me!"
After saying that, he opened his cherry mouth and longed for him like a hungry beast: "Ah...ah..."
Seeing this scene, Da Qiao felt very embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
Xiao Qiao didn't feel embarrassed at all and kept asking for food to Chen Zhe.
Chen Zhe was also helpless, but after all, Xiao Qiao was indeed tired all morning. For her diligent work, Chen Zhe fed the mulberries into her mouth.
The crystal mulberries entered the mouth, and a slight bite was filled with juice.
Xiao Qiao couldn't wait to swallow the fruit, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"It's so delicious... full and juicy, Chen Zhe, I want it..."
After saying that, she opened her mouth again and used the same routine to ask Chen Zhe for food.
Chen Zhe had no choice but to feed her two more mulberries. After feeding, he felt that this girl could not always be cheap, and the other two girls had to be evenly matched with rain and dew.
After all, everyone does the same job, and Yan'er and Da Qiao are also very hard-working.
So Chen Zhe turned to Yan'er and smiled and said, "Come on, Yan'er, open your mouth."
Yan'er is a shy girl, so naturally she is not as careless as Xiao Qiao. After Chen Zhe said this, her cheeks turned slightly red.
Xiao Qiao beside him said generously: "Silly girl, why are you blushing? Let Chen Zhe feed you, it's very delicious!"
After hearing Xiao Qiao's persuasion, Yan'er opened her mouth obediently. She still looked at Chen Zhe with a little shyness, her cheeks getting redder and redder.
Chen Zhe gently explored the mulberries into Yan'er's mouth. For a moment, the pulp splashed everywhere, and the corners of Yan'er's lips were stained with crystal clear liquid.
"Is it delicious? Yan'er." Chen Zhe asked with a smile.
"Um...um...good, delicious..." Yan'er's mouth was still full of slurry, and her words were a little confused.
After feeding Xiao Qiao and Yan'er, Chen Zhe turned to Da Qiao again.
Da Qiao was also a little resistant at the beginning, and politely refused: "I don't have to feed you anymore. I will wash my hands and eat it myself..."
Chen Zhe knew that she was polite and picked up a mulberry with her two fingers and put it into her mouth.
“Um…”
Da Qiao finally couldn't resist the charm of mulberries. She took a big bite obediently, and her thirsty lips and tongue were saved by fresh fruits. This moisturizing feeling was incomparable.
"It's great..." Da Qiao exclaimed sincerely, "I feel that the fruits on the island are much better than the fruits we usually eat."
"Of course." Chen Zhe smiled, "The fruits here are pure natural and taste good. In addition, they were just picked and delivered to you, and the freshness is better than the fruits sold in supermarkets."
"So that's what it is..." Da Qiao nodded.
Several people were talking and laughing, and in a blink of an eye, they ate all the mulberries that Chen Zhecai had returned.
After eating, Xiao Qiao looked at Chen Zhe and asked, "Chen Zhe, you went out for a long walk, can you just pick these mulberries?"
Chen Zhe smiled but said nothing.
Da Qiao said, "It must not be that simple. I think Chen Zhe must have made some major discoveries, right, Chen Zhe?"
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "My sister is still smart, but her sister is just a fool."
Xiao Qiao was dissatisfied when she heard this and pouted, "Who are you talking about? You are the ones!"
Because she was too greedy for eating mulberries just now, Xiao Qiao now had purple juice traces on the corners of her mouth. Although she looked pretty and cute, she was really like a fool now.
Yan'er couldn't help but point to the corner of her mouth and said, "Sister Xiao Qiao, your mouth..."
Da Qiao also said helplessly: "It's not that Chen Zhe said you are stupid, there is mulberry juice on the corner of your mouth."
"ha?"
Xiao Qiao looked embarrassed and quickly licked the traces with her clever tongue.
At this time, Yan'er asked, "Brother Chen, don't keep it aside. What good things have you found? Let's take a look?"
Chen Zhe smiled and nodded, then took out the cocoons filled with his pockets.
The cocoons of wild tiger silkworms are not exactly the same as those of silkworms. They look light green in color, but the overall shape is similar, so people can recognize them at a glance.
Yan'er had seen cocoons before and raised some silkworms when she was a child, so she immediately said, "Is it a cocoon? Did you find a cocoon?"
"Yes." Chen Zhe nodded, "where there are mulberries, there are mulberries, and where there are mulberries, there are silkworms."
Xiao Qiao didn't know the value of the cocoon, so she tilted her head and said, "What's the use of cocoons?"
Chen Zhe said: "With cocoons, we can spin threads and even silks so that we can make new clothes."
