Sharon also took a bite and felt that her entire mouth was astringent. It felt like she had been smeared with a mouthful of weird tastes. At the moment, it seemed like wild persimmons were inedible.
"The persimmons aren't ripe yet in this season, and they're still hard to the touch. They'll be very astringent to eat. We can store these persimmons. After some time, when the sun shines on them, the persimmons will become sweet," Sharon said.
Many small persimmons had fallen from the trees and were already broken. Many had already been pecked by birds.
Sharon carefully put away the less damaged wild persimmons. Although there were many persimmons on this tree, most of them weren't ripe, so it was best for them to store the ones that Dan had picked first.
After Dan was done plucking, he jumped down from the tree agilely.
"These persimmons are still unripe and taste very astringent. Let's store them," Sharon said.
