For the taste of unripe sour kiwifruit, Ang Lee couldn't be more familiar with it, that taste is not so much painful as nostalgic, who hasn't eaten kiwifruit that is not fully ripe! This has almost become a lifelong nostalgia for many people in later generations.

Thinking of the unripe kiwifruit, the sour taste, Li An's mouth unconsciously drooled, it was really too sour.

Li Xiaolu touched her head suspiciously, and asked, "After the kiwi fruit is completely ripe, it won't be sour?" But after we picked it, we kept it at home for many days, and it was still sour! In short, it's not very tasty! ”

How can Ang Lee not know the taste of kiwifruit, but the kiwifruit that Ang Lee ate in his previous life was the product of artificial domestication, and it may not be the same taste as the kiwifruit thousands of years ago.

Li An looked at the kiwi fruit hanging on the tree and said, "Otherwise, let's pick a few and see if they are ripe." ”

Several soldiers cooperated with climbing trees to pick kiwifruit, and soon picked dozens of large and small kiwifruits, some of which seemed to be a little ripe, and some of which looked a little green, and they all looked intact and there were no insects at all.

Li Ang took it in his hand and tried it, and found that all of them were hard, needless to say, these kiwis were all sour and astringent, and they definitely didn't taste good.

"I can't pinch it with my hands, it doesn't seem to be ripe yet, it must be sour, and I can't eat it yet."

Li An shook his head helplessly, and asked his subordinates to put away all the kiwi fruit, take it back and put it for a few days to eat.

"Li Shilang, how can this kiwi be considered ripe?"

Li Xiaolu asked curiously.

After all, many fruits are picked only after they are ripe, and there is no one that is ripe after picking.

Li An opened his mouth and replied: "Whether the kiwifruit is ripe or not, you need to pinch it with your fingers to determine, if it is hard, it is not ripe, and if it is soft, it means that it is ripe, these kiwifruits just picked are all hard, at first glance, they are not ripe, you need to take it back and put it for a few days, and then you can start eating." ”

For ordinary kiwifruit, it must be judged in this way, and it must be pinched with your hands, and then you can feel whether the kiwi is edible or not.

In the later generations of developed science and technology, many times the situation may not be the case, some high-quality varieties of kiwifruit, do not need to wait until soft to eat, even if it is a hard state, it is also very sweet and sour, not sour at all, this is the power of science and technology, and ordinary kiwifruit is sure to do a good job.

In the era of Datang, there is definitely no high-quality kiwifruit variety, so all kiwifruit must be judged by hand pinching, and then it can be determined whether these kiwifruits are edible.

"Oh, it turns out that before eating kiwifruit, you still need to pinch it with your hands!"

Li Xiaolu suddenly realized, paused, and then said: "It seems that Li Shilang has eaten kiwifruit before. ”

Li An nodded and said: "This is natural, I have naturally eaten kiwifruit, and besides, there are many kiwis that have been eaten?" This kiwi fruit was passed down from the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Well, how long are we going to wait before we can eat these kiwis?"

Li Xiaolu asked curiously.

Li An thought for a moment and replied, "Don't worry, it will take at least three or five days!" Maybe by the time we leave Gibraltar, we'll be able to eat kiwi that isn't sour. ”

"Why, Li Shilang is leaving so soon?"

Li Xiaolu asked.

Ang Lee replied: "Yes, we will go to Moldova, the capital of Spain, in a few days, and after that, we will return to Gibraltar, and then continue to set off after a few days of rest, all the way back to Datang." ”

"Okay, we're finally about to return to Datang, I haven't been to Datang yet? I really want to go to Datang now! ”

Li Xiaolu said wistfully.

Li An smiled faintly and said, "Although Datang is good, after returning to Datang, I can't accompany you every day." ”

Li Xiaolu pouted, looking slightly unhappy, paused, and said: "Although after arriving in Datang, I can't be with Li Shilang every day, but there are so many fun places in Datang, in short, I will definitely not suffer, it is much better than staying in the Qinglou and drifting." ”

Obviously, Li Xiaolu is still very self-aware, she knows what her identity is, so she doesn't dare to think too highly, as long as she can follow Ang Lee, she should be content, even if she can only look at Ang Li every day, she should be content.

"Haha! Contentment is always happy, there are a lot of kiwi fruits here, but let's pick some and taste them, and leave more for the monkeys! Otherwise, it would be bad to starve these monkeys. ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Standing in the shade of a tree, Li An raised his eyes to look at the port below the mountain, and suddenly had a feeling of pointing out the country, which made people feel very comfortable.

At this time, the weather is a little hot, but standing in the shade of the trees halfway up the mountain, blowing the sea breeze from the sea, you don't feel the heat at all, but there is a very cool feeling, which makes people's bodies very comfortable.

When he set off just now, Li An looked through the binoculars, and there were many monkeys playing around where he was standing now, but by the time Li An arrived here, these monkeys had already run away.

Perhaps there are dangerous poachers in Gibraltar who often poach these macaques, so the macaques are particularly afraid of humans, and immediately evacuated to a safer mountain top after seeing Li An and others coming.

Of course, Ang Lee had no intention of hunting this group of macaques, but the first time he came here, he did not establish any trust relationship with the monkeys, and it was impossible to make the monkeys not afraid.

"After the Tang Dynasty takes Gibraltar, a protected area must be established here, and no one is allowed to hunt the macaques here, otherwise, there will be heavy punishments."

Li An looked at the surrounding scenery and spoke.

"Li Shilang is so good, he actually wants to protect the monkeys here, these monkeys will be happy in the future, and they don't have to worry about being hurt anymore."

Li Xiaolu said softly.

Li An said: "Monkeys are a beautiful scenery in Gibraltar, if it is extinct, it will be a pity, now the number of monkeys here is not too much, if it is not protected, there will be no monkeys in the future, if there are no monkeys, such a big mountain, how lonely it should be!" ”

After speaking, he looked at the monkeys in the distance, looking a little panicked.

There are several groups of monkeys here, and between different communities, there is territory and territory, and if they invade the territory of other monkey groups, they will inevitably be attacked.

This lonely mountain may not seem big from a distance, but the actual area is not small, and there is no pressure to distribute several groups of monkeys, and fierce conflicts often break out between these different groups of monkeys over the issue of food, and fights can be seen everywhere.

However, the gore of the fights between the monkeys is not too high, and at most it can only be regarded as low-intensity conflicts, and there are rarely large-scale conflicts.

After all, monkeys are wild animals, there is no hospital, in case the injury is more serious, it is very likely to die, and no monkey is willing to be injured and die, so, in the real fight, all the monkeys will not be too desperate, there will definitely be reservations, so that these monkey groups can survive.

If the monkeys were fighting for territory, then the monkeys would have been extinct and would not have been able to exist at all.

Compared with the bloody battles between humans, the fights between monkeys appear to be more gentle, in addition, many fights between animals are relatively mild, as long as it is a competition between similar animals, it is generally to the point and will not cause too many casualties.

Of course, not all animals are like this, there are also some animals of the same kind of competition is very cruel, such as the male lion on the African grassland, the competition between them is very cruel, when the new male lion appears in the lion group, the lion king will desperately defend his territory, and the invaders to fight to the end, and the winning new lion king will kill the old lion, and will also kill the lion cub left by the old male lion, which can be regarded as a very cruel animal in nature, but compared with humans, this cruelty is still too bad.

After all, once there is a war in human beings, the number of dead and injured can reach the level of millions and tens of millions, and the scene of rivers of blood is chilling, and it can scare people to death.

Ang Lee wants to protect the wild macaques in Gibraltar, definitely not because of the overflow of the Virgin's Heart, but because the territory of Gibraltar is too small, the biodiversity is relatively poor, especially the large wild animals in the territory are almost none, macaques can be regarded as the largest wild animals, if even the macaques are extinct, then Gibraltar may only be left with birds, in this case, people will not be comfortable living in such an environment.

After all, man is also a natural animal, only by keeping a relatively close distance from nature, will not make people uncomfortable, if people are completely isolated from nature, people will be depressed and manic, for example, put a person in the deep mountains without any animals, then, this person will quickly become stupid.

There were once a number of soldiers stationed on a reef in the sea, because it was too lonely, so they had a dog, but more than a month later, the dog jumped into the sea because of the loneliness.

It can be seen from this that loneliness is such a terrible thing that even dogs, as animals, can't stand suicide, let alone humans stationed on the reefs. Therefore, officers and men must have an iron will and a strong sense of mission, otherwise, they will not be able to bear it at all, and loneliness alone can drive people crazy.

Ang Lee will not ask Rahman for too much land, he only needs a small place in Gibraltar, and in such a small place, all kinds of animals and plants are naturally scarce, so every flower and tree here, every animal is precious, especially the macaques who have lived here for a long time, but also the elves of Gibraltar, which are animals that should not be lost.

Moreover, although Ang Lee did not believe in superstitions and fables, he still had the desire to please the lottery, since there was a fable in later England that said that as long as the macaques of Gibraltar lived on the rocks forever, then Gibraltar would never leave Britain.

Ang Lee believes that this sentence can be regarded as a lottery head, if these macaques can live forever, it means that Datang can own the land of Gibraltar forever.

Although, Ang Lee does not own Gibraltar now, but the strength and situation are here, as long as you go to Moldova, you can get this land, I believe that such a small land, Rahman I will not be stingy, if Rahman I resolutely does not give, Ang Lee will let the soldiers and horses under his command not leave, anyway, this excellent port, Ang Lee is going to decide, no one wants to give it.

"Li Shilang is right, if there are no monkeys, Gibraltar will indeed have less life, when we were young, we liked to go up the mountain to tease the monkeys, and we also used the small wild fruits picked from the trees to smash the little monkeys, but after the monkeys were provoked, they would also pick wild fruits to beat us, hehe!"

Li Xiaolu laughed as she spoke, it can be seen that she was naughty enough when she was young, and she actually fought with monkeys.

"Oh, you bear kids, you actually fought with monkeys, what was the result, have you ever beaten monkeys?"

Li An asked very curiously.

Li Xiaolu deliberately paused for a moment to make Li An anxious, and then said slowly: "This is not necessarily, it depends on the specific situation, there are powerful partners, and the monkey will be beaten and urinated, if there are no powerful partners, we can only run away." ”

After speaking, she smiled embarrassedly, and it could be seen that she definitely did not belong to a powerful role.

Ang Lee understands this very well, everywhere, among the friends who play together, there are always some people who are very powerful, while others are stupid types, especially in terms of force, there are always some big brothers who take the lead.

Li An asked carefully, it turned out that among these playing friends, there are some children who can play with slingshots, especially those who play with slingshots, who are very powerful when fighting monkeys, and those who can't play slingshots are much weaker.

When harassing monkeys, people's arm strength is limited, especially underage children, throwing fruit with the arm, hitting the monkey in the distance, the power is really small, at the same time, it is also difficult to aim very accurately, and after using the slingshot, the effect is completely different, first of all, the power will increase several times, and secondly, the slingshot can be aimed more accurately, and the monkey hiding in the tree is accurately hit, so as to win a big victory.

Therefore, every time there is a master of playing with a slingshot, the monkey hiding in the tree will be miserable, and can only be beaten and screamed, forced to give up the territory, and flee from the canopy, and if there is no existence of these masters, the monkey will not leave the territory, and will use the fruit of the tree to attack the children who provoke below, and even break the children's foreheads.
