When drying persimmons, you must choose a sunny day. If it rains, the persimmons will easily get damp and moldy.

After the persimmons are dried in the sun for a few days, you can pinch them with your hands and slowly shape them into round persimmon cakes.

When the dried persimmons turn brown, they no longer need to be dried. At this time, put the dried persimmons in a basket or jar.

After a long time, a layer of white frost will grow on the surface of the persimmon cake, and the persimmon cake will taste sweet and delicious at this time.

Dried persimmons can be stored for a long time without going bad. They taste very good and are an indispensable snack for children in the village.

Even during the Chinese New Year, some families will give persimmon cakes as New Year gifts to children who come to pay New Year's greetings.

At this time, the children felt that dried persimmons were a more delicious snack than candy. Candy requires money to buy, but dried persimmons do not.

Of course, some people want to save trouble and cut the persimmons into slices or pieces to dry after peeling them. This is also possible.

Because it saves time compared to drying the whole persimmon. This method is especially important when the weather is bad.

Yun Yiyi looked at the persimmons on the tree. Most of them had turned golden yellow and were ready to eat. There were a few that were not very ripe, but they would not be astringent after a few days.

As for some persimmons that are extremely ripe, they can only be eaten as soon as possible. Some persimmons that are too ripe will even break when picked, and there is definitely no way to take them home.

There is nothing we can do about this. We can only pick as many persimmons as we can. If we wait a little longer, the persimmons will be mostly ripe and we won’t be able to take them home.

However, even in winter, there are still some persimmons on the branches. Some small birds, such as sparrows, especially like to eat persimmons.

Yun Yiyi carefully slid down the tree, put on her shoes, and immediately got up and continued walking forward.

Just now she was on the tree and saw two persimmon trees not far ahead.

When Yun Yiyi used the stick to pave a path to the two persimmon trees, she looked carefully and found that there were still a lot of yellow persimmons that could be harvested.

Yun Yiyi clapped her hands happily. Oh, now she has one more winter snack.

She looked along the persimmon tree and found a small red tree.

Haha, Yun Yiyi laughed out loud. It was really easy to get. This bright red fruit must be wild hawthorn.

Because wild hawthorns usually bear fruit very densely. From a distance, you can only see the red hawthorn fruits on the tree.

If you don't know, you might think that the hawthorn tree has no leaves. In fact, its leaves are hidden under the hawthorn fruits. You can only see them clearly when you get closer.

Yun Yiyi's legs, which had just been sore, felt full of strength again after seeing the hawthorn tree.

She swung the iron stick, beating the grass and pushing the weeds that blocked the way to the sides.

As she walked over, a simple path appeared.

When she came under the hawthorn tree with a smile on her face, she was surprised to see that although the tree was not tall, it had so many hawthorns.

Compared with hawthorn, birds prefer to eat ripe persimmons. Ripe persimmons are particularly sweet.

Even when hawthorn is ripe, it still has a slight sour taste.

Yun Yiyi reached out and plucked a handful of hawthorns, then put them in her mouth and took a bite. They were okay. The hawthorns were just ripe and still quite hard, so they could be kept for a while after being picked.

However, Yun Yiyi looked at the big red hawthorns on the top of the tree. Those hawthorns tasted absolutely delicious now.

The hawthorns under the tree still need to be a little less ripe. However, this way they can be kept for a longer period of time.

Yun Yiyi ate five or six hawthorns and then she didn't dare to eat any more. She was afraid that her teeth would get sore and she wouldn't be able to eat.

In the past, when Yun Yiyi was little, she remembered that she ate too much hawthorn once, which caused her teeth to ache and she was unable to eat at all.

Yun Yiyi looked around and saw that there were still quite a few trees in the grass, but not many of them bore fruit.

The sun has risen now. It's cool standing under the tree.

Yun Yiyi touched her stomach. After eating hawthorn, the rumbling sounds in her stomach became louder.

After climbing the mountain for so long, I am already hungry. Forget it, I will go back to eat first. Then I will bring my brother and the others to pick persimmons, and then explore the surrounding area by myself.

If you want to do it, just do it. Yun Yiyi carried the iron stick and walked down the mountain along the path she had waded through before.

Going down the mountain is much faster than going up the mountain.

After about half an hour, Yun Yiyi heard the voices of Brother Yun and the others.

"Brother, Yiyi hasn't come back yet. It's been so long, shall we go look for her?"

"Third brother, you wait here. Second brother and I will go ahead to look for Yiyi."

"Okay, big brother, then you guys better come back soon. I'm still a little scared to be alone."

"Don't worry, Third Brother. We'll be back soon."

Yun Yiyi then shouted loudly, "Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm back."

Brother Yun San said in surprise, "It seems to be Yiyi's voice, brother."

Brother Yun said affirmatively, "It's Yiyi's voice. Let's wait here for a while."

After more than ten minutes, Yun Yiyi arrived at the place where Brother Yun and the others were resting.

Brother Yun came over in a hurry and said, "Yiyi, why did you take so long to come back? We were all so worried."

"Yes. Yiyi, my brother and I were just about to go out to look for you, and you came back."

"Yiyi, you're finally back. Now I don't have to wait for you here alone."

Yun Yiyi patiently waited for everyone to finish speaking, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, I'm sorry, I came back late and made you worry."

"It's okay, Yiyi. As long as you're fine, it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer."

Yun Yiyi looked at everyone with emotion. The brothers were so nice to her that they were reluctant to blame her at all.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, I just walked forward for more than 20 minutes and found that it was still a forest. Later, I changed the route and went up the mountain."

"Later, I climbed the mountain for a long time before I found persimmon trees and hawthorn trees. Fortunately, I didn't give up, otherwise I would have missed the persimmons and hawthorns."

Brother Yun San asked anxiously, "Wow, Yiyi, are there many persimmons on the persimmon tree? Are they sweet? Are they delicious?"

"Yiyi, are there many persimmons on the persimmon tree? Are they hard? Can they be stored?"

“Yiyi, how many persimmon trees and hawthorn trees did you encounter?”

Yun Yiyi saw that her brothers were very anxious, so she sat down and slowly explained to everyone.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, there are still a lot of persimmons on the persimmon tree. Most of the persimmons can be kept, but there are still some persimmons that are very ripe and I am afraid they can't be kept."
