When we were young, there were a lot of wild fruits in the countryside and mountains. Because there were almost no recreational activities at that time, many children liked to climb trees in the mountains to pick this kind of wild fruit to eat when they were on holiday. These things are our precious childhood memories. Today's children can't feel the happiness at that time! Among them, there is a kind of wild fruit, which impresses us very much. it looks like today's golden finger grape, which is very sweet and has a lot of juice. It is called "milk" there.

The scientific name of milk is Elaeagnus angustifolia, which is a kind of berry. It grows on sunny slopes or roadsides below 1000 meters above sea level.
