Chapter 17: Sweet Chestnuts

Liu quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks.

Ruyi instructed Hao Lingzi and Dabao Xiaobao to remove the outer core of the chestnut, smash it with a stone, and take out the pulp.

Ruyi took the thorny chestnut, and chopped the chestnut with a knife with a soybean oil lamp.

Liu lit a fire under the stove. When you see that the temperature in the pot is about the same, Ruyi puts the chopped chestnuts into the pot and stir-fry repeatedly.

After a while, there was a burst of fragrance wafting from the pot.

This fragrance, not to mention the three children, even the Liu family has never asked.

Occasionally, chestnuts are fried in the pot. Under the dim light, Ruyi remembered that in her previous life, she liked to eat sweet chestnuts, and all kinds of pastries made of chestnuts were her favorites. I don't want to live in this life, but in a different world, I can still eat chestnuts, and God will treat her well.

Ruyi came back to his senses, took the fried chestnuts out of the pot, and put them in a guy to dry.

After Ruyi made the pot, several children stretched their necks and looked at the chestnuts with their eyes, the fragrance of this room was too tempting.

"Come, taste the fruits of our labor." Ruyi brought the chestnut to the table to greet everyone.

Ruyi took the lead in taking a chestnut and pulled it along the crack, and the sweet and hot chestnut was steaming.

A few children followed Ruyi and put chestnuts in their mouths.

As soon as you bite into it, the taste of sweet powder spreads in your mouth, and even the buds on the tip of your tongue become extremely sensitive.

"It's so delicious, I've never tasted it this delicious......" Hao Yanzi couldn't help but praise.

"It's so delicious, it's not in vain that you went into the mountains to get it back." Liu was also full of praise.

Big Bao and Little Bao are reluctant to stop.

I have eaten all kinds of delicacies in the previous life, and I love it, not to mention this ancient time where materials are scarce.

"Eat, eat, there are more, there should be a few more trips in the mountains, if it works, we can also take it into the city to sell, sell it rare."

"Yes, we can sell it, it's definitely good to sell." Hao Yanzi nodded in agreement.

"Then it's decided, let's go into the mountains again in the next few days and pick all the chestnuts back."

"Okay." Xu Zihao agreed.

By the time the chestnuts were finished, it was already late at night.

Hao Yanzi said goodbye and left.

Ruyi called Hao Lingzi, wrapped the chestnuts left before, and handed them to Hao Yanzi.

"Well, you can take it home and give it to Aunt Li to taste."

Hao Yanzi took the chestnut, and the heat made Hao Yanzi's heart flow through the heat.

"I'll put it hot in the pot, and I'll give Aunt Li a taste. Hurry up, it won't taste good when it's cold. ”

"Okay." Hao Lingzi silently took it and turned back to the house.

Ruyi entered the wing room, and Liu and Dabao Xiaobao had already washed their feet on the kang.

When he saw Ruyi coming in, he quickly ordered Ruyi to wash his feet.

Ruyi washed and went to the kang, Dabao and Xiaobao were playing in bed at this time, and when they saw Ruyi on the kang, they quietly stopped talking.

"Nier, I want to hurry up and inquire about your father's news, these days my mother has dreamed of your father, saying that he is very cold, now, we have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is food to fill the hunger, as long as the family is together, life can always go on......" Liu looked at Ruyi, after thinking about it for the past few days, she didn't know whether to mention it, Ruyi hadn't mentioned it these days, and she mustered up the courage to say it.

"It's time to find my father and eldest brother, these days I just care about running around looking for food to satisfy my hunger, and I ignore this matter, but where to find this person in the vast sea." As it means.

"I went to the patriarch's house today, and gave the patriarch's family a few eggs that the Sun family of the Song Laosan family gave you last time and a few eggs that you bought in the city last time, a total of seven, to the patriarch's family, and the patriarch who can settle here can help us."

"My mother did the right thing, I still thought, wait for the chestnut to be recovered, sell the money, and buy a good gift to thank the patriarch."

"I also mentioned the matter of looking for your father by the way, the patriarch said, let's go outside the city gate every few days to have a look, the homeless people can't enter the city, maybe it's in the homeless pile outside the city wall."

"Okay, I'll wait for me to enter the city and go around the city gate to see if I can find my father and eldest brother." Ruyi agreed, looking for her father and eldest brother is now the mother's heart disease, these days watching her make clothes and always distracted, I think this is for this.

"Also, mother, these five hundred copper coins were saved by selling wolves last time, you put it away, the family has just settled down, and all kinds of guys are still lacking, you see that what should be bought should be bought in some people in the village to buy some back, if it is good here, maybe we will settle here in the future." Ruyi handed five hundred copper plates to Liu.

"Okay, my mother knows......" Liu didn't push back, took it and put it away, although he didn't make half of his efforts, but Nier earned it by fighting the danger, and it had to be spent on the blade to be worthy of Ruyi's hard work.

"I'm worried that there is no oil in this house, the oil you bought back last time is gone, and now your three children are also growing up, they haven't eaten enough in the past few years, and they have lost their bodies, and I have suffered with me for most of the year, I want to take advantage of this money to buy more pig fat and come back to boil it into oil, and put a little bit in it every day, so that you can grow up and have strong bones."

"Cheng, mother, you buy some bones by the way, go home to stew soup and drink, the whole family makes up for it, and you can do what you think you should do in the future, you don't have to ask me, money, you should spend it, this chestnut is all taken back and sold is also an input."

"Mother and father have no ability, let your brothers and sisters, sisters and brothers suffer with us." Liu blamed himself.

"We are a family, mother, we are blessed and enjoy the same difficulties, after this, life will only get better and better, I just look forward to finding my brother and father as soon as possible, and our family will be reunited."

"Yes, it's good to find your father and brother......" Liu's voice lowered in the night, and gradually the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier, pregnant and tired for another day, and soon fell asleep.

It's ruyi sober. I've been in this world for a while, and my life is quite stable and comfortable, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, I sigh as a good thing, just like the water, and the soldiers will block it.
