When I got home, it was already the end of the Shen period.

Liu Wuxiu, Zhou Dayong, Gouzi, and Shi Shi were sitting in the yard peeling mountain chestnuts.

Xiao Qiongzhi leaned over to take a look and found that next to one of them, a wooden bucket of water was placed, and after the mountain chestnuts were peeled, they were all thrown directly into the wooden bucket.

Among them, Liu Wuxiu peeled the fastest, and he was almost full of a bucket.

Zhou Dayong followed and also peeled nearly a bucket.

The dog was a lot slower, only half a barrel.

The stones were peeled the slowest, less than a third of the barrels.

She moved a stool and sat next to Liu Wuxiu, planning to help peel it too.

As a result, when he picked up a mountain chestnut, he was snatched away by Liu Wuxiu: "Zhi'er, just sit next to me and watch, this mountain chestnut has sharp corners on one end, and when you peel it, it is easy to prick your fingers." ”

"Aunt Liu, your fingers ......" Xiao Qiongzhi subconsciously grabbed her hand and looked at her fingers.

It was only at this time that Xiao Qiongzhi discovered that almost every finger of Liu Wuxiu had dense holes, as if they had been pricked by many small needles, and some were still oozing blood.

Liu Wuxiu refused to show Xiao Qiongzhi more, immediately retracted his hand, and smiled at her: "Haha, I was fast, I was careless, I was pricked a few times, but I have thick skin and rough meat, and it's okay to rub it a little, Zhi'er, don't worry." ”

"It's all pierced with so many holes, how can it be considered okay? Everyone, don't peel it like this, just hit it with a hammer and a stone, anyway, it will end up grinding like a bean, and it's okay to smash it. Xiao Qiongzhi shook his head and immediately made a decision.

She was a little upset.

It was also her carelessness that she didn't expect that the sharp horns of the mountain chestnut would prick people, otherwise, if she reminded Liu Wuxiu in the morning, Liu Wuxiu's fingers would not be pricked.

"Good! Then I'll look for the gas. Liu Wuxiu's eyes lit up, he got up quickly, walked into the house, and found two wooden gases and two hammers.

I went home to dig tunnels, repair secret rooms and underground granaries, and bought a lot of these things, and now, they all come in handy.

She and Zhou Dayong each shared a hammer, and the two wooden stones were given to the dog and the stone respectively, and Xiao Qiongzhi had no share.

Xiao Qiongzhi understands that Liu Wuxiu is partial and doesn't want to let herself work hard.

However, she didn't hit it with a hammer, and when she helped take out the smashed mountain chestnut meat, it was the same.

"Bang! Boom! Bang ...... "Next, everyone began to smash mountain chestnuts.

This is much faster than peeling by hand, smashing it, you can crack one, at least split in two, and when you use a lot of force, even split into three or four.

Everyone only needs to take the chestnut meat from the cracked shell, which is far less effortless than peeling one by one like before.

Even those cracked shells, like small porcelain tiles, are still a little prickly, only a little better than peeling them directly.

Xiao Qiongzhi picked up a few, thought about it while peeling it, and soon thought of a way.

She said to Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong: "Aunt Liu, second uncle, it is better to soak the unpeeled mountain chestnuts with water first, and when they are smashed again tomorrow morning, the mountain chestnut shells have been soaked softly, and they should be even more prickly." ”

"Good. Zhi'er is really smart, the dog and the stone they peel all day, they will mutter, until their hands hurt, and they can't think of so many good ideas. Liu Wuxiu muttered and did it immediately.

Zhou Dayong hurriedly went to help her.

The dog was a little unconvinced, and after they left, he stretched out his hands and showed Xiao Qiongzhi: "Zhi'er, I'm just stupid, but I'm not lazy, you see, my finger was also pricked by a mountain chestnut before!" ”

Xiao Qiongzhi looked down, it was really!

Moreover, after all, the dog is only a ten-year-old child, with fine skin and tender flesh, although it seems that there are not as many injuries on his hands as Liu Wuxiu, but the wounds are relatively deep, and many are still oozing blood.

It must have hurt.

It's really suffering.

If you put yourself on, you may not be able to stick to peeling for a day like a dog.

The dog is really much better at once and sensible.

Xiao Qiongzhi took a deep breath with his mouth, blew lightly on both hands, and praised him sincerely: "Brother Dog, you didn't cry when you were stabbed so many wounds, what a brave man, when I enter the city tomorrow, I will let people bring pine nuts for you to eat!" ”

Yesterday, before coming back from the county, she remembered that Liu Wuxiu liked to eat pine nut, and specially took Zheng Bang, Liu Wuxiu, and Zhou Dayong to go to Fuguijia Restaurant together, bought a pine nut, and took it home to eat.

At that time, Liu Wuxiu heard the shopkeeper tell Xiao Qiongzhi that the pine nut fish would cost three taels of silver a piece, but he was distressed and guessed that Xiao Qiongzhi was going to buy it for her to eat, and he didn't let Xiao Qiongzhi buy it.

Xiao Qiongzhi coaxed her, saying that she and she had eaten pine nut fish today, Chu Yunniang, dogs, and stones had not tasted it yet, so she insisted on buying it, but Liu Wuxiu didn't say anything.

Later, when eating pine nut fish at night, Xiao Qiongzhi wanted to try whether the dog was really sensible, and deliberately bought the pine nut fish for him, Chu Yunniang, and Shi Shi, and said it in public.

As a result, the dog did not disappoint her.

Just like he had done before, he sandwiched a large piece of pine nut fish and gave it to everyone, and then left the rest and ate it with the stones.

Moreover, he and Shi like Liu Wuxiu especially love to eat pine nut fish, because of this dish, the brothers each ate two large bowls of glutinous rice at night.

If this was before digging Huai Mountain and Poria Cocos, Liu Wuxiu would definitely scold them to death.

However, recently, the family has hoarded nearly 2,000 catties of Huaishan and more than 1,000 catties of Poria cocos, and there is food.

Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang fought tigers, wild boars and wolves, and made a lot of money.

Liu Wuxiu and Chu Yunniang have become a lot more generous, seeing dogs and stones eating so stupidly, Liu Wuxiu only felt funny, but not angry.

"Zhi'er, I want to eat pine nut fish too! You see, my hand was stabbed too! Shi's eyes lit up at this time, and he also stretched out a pair of small hands to show Xiao Qiongzhi.

He is only eight years old, with more fine skin and tender flesh, although it seems that there are not as many punctures on his hands as there are dogs, but the puncture wounds are not shallow, and many of them are still oozing blood.

Xiao Qiongzhi then took a deep breath with his mouth, blew lightly on both hands, and praised him with a smile: "Brother Shi, you are also a brave man, I will remember to ask the shopkeeper to make a big, big pine nut, so that Brother Dog and you can eat enough!" ”

"Hahahahaha! Okay, okay, Sister Zhi'er, you finally call me brother, I'm so happy, hahahahahaha......" Shi noticed that Xiao Qiongzhi's name for him had changed, and he was as happy as something.

He giggled vigorously, not caring at all, happy that there would be pine nut fish to eat.

The dog glared at him with disdain: "Stone, look at the stupid look you are laughing at, don't you hear Zhi'er also calling me brother?" I'm happy, too, but I'm not going to laugh like you, I'm laughing like that, like a big hero. ”

The dog said, the corners of his lips slightly hooked.

At first glance, it looks quite similar.

It's his eyes that keep blinking and blinking, betraying the little thing in his heart, which is particularly funny.

Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but "poof!" With a bang, he laughed.
