Ch.5 Dried Bayberry

Chapter 5: Dried Bayberry

TianHua Mountain was flooded with people coming in and out of the bayberry garden. Bayberries were in season at this time of year, each of them were packed with a tasty sweet and sour flavor. The countryside scenery was quite beautiful as well, thus many people came to visit and enjoy the place.

Bayberries weren't exactly cheap, but this was an exceptional case because S city was abounded with them. Since it was in season, the price was much cheaper, they could be eaten fresh after being picked, or could be brought back home for a very cheap price.

The whole bayberry garden was full of people. The red purple color of the bayberries could be seen on top of the tall trees. There were many different varieties of bayberries planted in the garden but the price was the same, that was why so many people visited this place.

"Xiao Yi ah, come here and try some. Bayberries are the sweetest during this time." Old man Yang picked one and gave it to Lin ShuYi. This was the first time he had ever seen this type of fruit. It was round, purple red color, and it was very delicious and sweet.

Lin ShuYi ate it with smile all over his face, after that, he quickly put all the same color ones inside his basket.

Old man Yang was a bit surprised, then he laughed loudly.

"Why do you look like someone who has never tried a bayberry before? Are you going to pick only this type of bayberry and not the others?"

Lin ShuYi was also stunned, others? There are something else better than this one?

As the matter of fact, even though they were all called bayberries, there were many varieties of it. Lin ShuYi tasted every kind of bayberry, but in the end he still felt the one old man Yang gave him was the best. By lunchtime, Lin ShuYi was so full with bayberries that he didn't feel hungry at all.

Down the mountain, there were a lot of farmer families so a lot of people who came here for the bayberry garden would also come go there to eat. Old man Yang was no exception, he brought Lin ShuYi to one of the houses.

Although it was just a farmer family, it wasn't shabby-looking at all. The exterior decoration was traditional with a blueish black brick tiled roof, while the interior was decorated with rustic wood. It looked like an ancient building.

Lin ShuYi felt at home, as if he went back in time in front of the Lotus Tower.

"Sir, what do you want to eat?"

"Roast chicken[1]." Lin ShuYi subconsciously blurted out.

The lady who took their order was surprised a bit, she looked at Lin ShuYi who blushed.

"Sorry, we don't have that type of dish here."

Lao Yang Tuo was also stunned, roast chicken? Did he mean oven-roasted chicken?

"It's ok, Xiao Yi, do you want to eat chicken? Then, can I order a spicy braised rooster instead?"

The lady nodded, wrote down two more orders before going to the back.

After the meal, they walked around TianHua mountain a bit before heading home. After all, people who drove had it easier than people who had to take the bus. If they missed their bus, it would be very difficult to find another one in this wilderness.

Lin ShuYi couldn't stop grinning while holding on to the box full of bayberries. His house didn't have a fridge, and with this weather, the bayberries wouldn't last very long. However, he could bring them back and make them into dried bayberries instead, with its sweet and sour flavor, the taste probably wouldn't be as bad.
