Surprise flashed in Bai Zhizhi's eyes.

She hadn't eaten any fruit in such a long time since she came here, so she could finally satisfy her appetite. It was a pity that Ruibao was not here.

"Ying'er, Xiaoyu, stop digging for wild vegetables. Let's go over there and take a look."

"Auntie, there are so many wild vegetables here, aren't you going to dig them?" Zhou Ying looked at the basket in confusion. She hadn't dug many.

If we dig up all these wild vegetables, they will definitely be enough for them to eat for several days.

"Let's go take a look at that fruit tree." Bai Zhizhi said, pointing.

When Zhou Ying heard about the fruit trees, she didn't care about being sad anymore and jumped up. "Where are the fruit trees?"

She hasn't eaten fruit for a long time.

Zhou Yu also stood up. He was not as impatient as his sister. He followed the direction of his aunt's finger and saw a tree full of fruits.

"It looks like an apricot tree."

"You'll know when you go over there and take a look." Bai Zhizhi walked over there with a smile.

The two children quickly followed.

Attracted by the fruit trees, they ran much faster than when they went up the mountain, and they reached the fruit trees in less than two minutes.

It was indeed an apricot tree. It was covered with a layer of golden fruits, which bent the branches. It looked very pleasing to the eye.

"He's not very big."

Bai Zhizhi looked up and saw that the apricots were a little different from the ones she had seen before. They were a bright yellow in color, and each one was round and beautiful.

Zhou Ying skipped towards the tree and finally picked one. She didn't even bother to wipe it and put it directly into her mouth.

Then she put on a bitter face.

"Ah, bah, bah, so sour, so sour."

Zhou Ying stuck out her tongue because of the sour taste, but she was reluctant to spit out the apricot, so she just ran around with a wrinkled face.

Bai Zhizhi laughed out loud at her appearance.

Zhou Yu was also pursing his lips.

"Okay, okay, spit it out right away if it's sour, or your teeth will get sore later."

Bai Zhizhi patted the little girl's head soothingly.

Zhou Ying chewed it twice and finally swallowed the sour apricot in her mouth.

"I must have picked it badly. Brother, if you picked me a tall one, it wouldn't be sour."

Seeing the little girl speaking nonsense seriously, Bai Zhizhi couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, but just stood on tiptoe and picked a big one from a high place and handed it to his sister.

Zhou Ying took it happily, and this time she was smarter and didn't put the whole thing into her mouth directly. Instead, she took a careful bite.

Then the little face wrinkled again, "It's still sour."

"Is it that the ones that are too high can't be picked? How about I pick you one that's neither too high nor too low?"

Bai Zhizhi teased her on purpose.

Zhou Ying rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement, "I think what my aunt said must be right."

"You greedy little girl." Bai Zhizhi smiled and nodded her head.

Bai Zhizhi picked up a few softer ones from the treetops and put one in each person's hand.

“Try it and see if it’s all sour.”

The two of them didn't ask any questions and just stuffed the apricots into their mouths.

Then the three of them looked at each other and said "Pooh, pooh, pooh" at the same time.

"It seems that this is a sour apricot tree. It should be inedible." Bai Zhizhi sighed.

The fruit trees that I had finally discovered were all wasted.

The three of them sat on the ground dejectedly, staring at the apricots on their heads.

It's obviously yellow, but it still looks so good, how can it be sour?

Even though they were unwilling, they had to accept the fact that the apricot tree was indeed inedible.

"It would be great if we could find a sweet apricot tree." Zhou Ying said as she took small bites of the apricot in her hand.

"You look so jealous that you're crying. Stop eating it." Zhou Yu quickly snatched the apricot from his sister's hand and threw it away.

Bai Zhizhi looked at the golden trees and felt reluctant to leave.

It would be great if there was a way to make these apricots taste better.

As Bai Zhizhi was thinking, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

When she was in modern times, she often saw various preserved fruits sold in supermarkets, and apricots seemed to be among them.
