As Lu Chen spoke, he reached out and plucked a very plump purple-black eggplant that was obviously already ripe. He wiped it slightly and sent it into his mouth.
He gently closed his teeth, and purple-red juice instantly gushed out.
"Whoa…it's sour, but it's really exciting!”
Feeling the "sour bomb" that exploded in his mouth, Lu Chen could not help but shrink his neck.
However, other than the sour taste, the rich fruity fragrance and the slightly sweet aftertaste were very comfortable!
It was great to be able to eat fresh berries!
The long-awaited sourness of the fresh fruit opened up Lu Chen's taste memory and appetite at the speed of light. He didn't have the time to explain to everyone. Lu Chen picked a handful in one breath and threw them into his mouth one by one.
The fruit juice quickly stained his teeth and lips, and some even dripped onto his hands.
After eating a large handful of wild eggplant in one go, Lu Chen finally stopped. He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth and smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry. I'm a little useless. I've made a fool of myself.”
No, no, no, he wasn't useless at all! We also enjoyed watching it!
Brother Lu, is this eggplant really that delicious?
Seeing the streamer eating so happily, I'm starting to crave it…
"Everyone should imagine that the taste of these berries should be sweet or sour and sweet, right?
But that was not the case.
The scientific name of this kind of wild eggplant was indigo, a variant of blue fruit honeysuckle, a relative of the commonly seen species of honeysuckle.
Yes, it was the honeysuckles that could be soaked in water and used as medicine.
Usually, this kind of fruit was not good looking but not delicious. However, the indigo fruit, which was also the mountain eggplant, was an exception. The taste was not bad.
It was mostly sour, and the sweetness was not very obvious, but it was better than the fruity fragrance.
If it was a friend who liked to eat sour food, he would probably like to eat it, but he couldn't eat too much.”
Lu Chen smiled and said,
"The reason why I ate so much in one go is purely because I haven't eaten fresh fruit for too long.
After all, the land in the outer mountains was relatively barren. There were very few fruit trees, let alone finding fruits to eat.
He had been running in the mountains for a few months without being able to eat a bite of fresh fruit. He really missed it too much.”
As soon as he said this, everyone sighed.
Previously, she had always envied the streamer for being able to get close to such cute little animals every day. She did not expect her life to be so hard...
My heart aches for the streamer. I haven't had a bite of fruit for months.
Brother Lu, why don't you take more of this eggplant with you? You can keep it for later.
"I thought so too, but the temperature here is high, the humidity is high, and there's no way to freeze them. These berries will wither and rot very quickly.”
Lu Chen was about to pick some wild eggplants when he felt his pants being pulled.
He looked down and saw Xiao Xuefeng standing up. Her two little paws were quickly adjusting, and she was crying out anxiously.
……？
Looking at the purple-red color on the corner of Xiao Xuefeng's mouth, Lu Chen thought for a moment and seemed to understand.
Could it be that this little thing wanted to eat the eggplant?
He picked a few big and plump wild eggplants and threw them on the ground. As expected, Xiao Xuefeng immediately buried her head in eating.
【？？？】
Didn't snow leopards eat meat? Why are you still eating fruits?
Brother Lu, didn't you say that this fruit was sour? Little Snow Wind Is Not Sour?
"This is a common misconception.”
Lu Chen grabbed a few more ripe wild eggplants and threw them to Xiao Xuefeng's mouth. He explained,
"Generally speaking, everyone thinks that carnivores eat meat, but that's not the case.
Indeed, they could obtain most of the nutrients they needed from meat and bones, but there were also a few that could not be obtained from meat. They would also choose to eat some fruits or seeds of plants to supplement their nutrients.”
Seeing that Xiao Xuefeng was eating happily, Lu Chen said gently,
"Although the animal milk powder and canned meat I fed Xiao Xuefeng were the best, it was still lacking compared to the mother snow leopard's mother and the animal's flesh.
Animals and humans were different in this regard. If they lacked something in their bodies, they would instinctively look for something to replenish it.
This was the reason why the little snow leopard was looking for the mountain eggplant to eat.
I guessed that it had eaten the mountain eggplant that grew in a relatively short place before. It couldn't reach any higher, so it scratched me anxiously and asked me to pick it for it.”
After Lu Chen explained, everyone finally understood why Xiao Xuefeng would eat fruits.
Taking out two sealed bags from his bag, Lu Chen decided to pack some wild eggplants and take them away.
If she ate less and faster, she wouldn't be afraid of spoiling.
Just as he was picking enthusiastically, Lu Chen's gaze was suddenly attracted by a "little bug".
The " bug " was about the size of three or four mosquitoes. Its entire body was black and yellow with some yellow stripes.
It shuttled through the mountain eggplant flowers, looking very leisurely and diligent.
Looking closely, he saw that there were also such "bugs" beside the flower clusters of the nearby eggplant trees.
Lu Chen grinned.
Good heavens, he was going to be rich today!
