Chapter 69: Sugar-fried chestnuts

Su Muyao didn't know what the people in the village were thinking, otherwise she would have laughed out loud.

These crops will be harvested in about half a month.

As I was walking on the side of the road, I found that the fat aunt next door and another new daughter-in-law were fighting over a nest of bird eggs.

I saw the fat aunt grabbing the hair of another little daughter-in-law, "This bird egg was discovered by the head of my family first, why did it belong to your family?" ”

Not to be outdone, the little daughter-in-law pinched the tender meat in the fat aunt's arm.

"This is my kid who climbed a tree to take it down, of course it has to belong to my family, you let go of me"

The two adults were fighting with each other, and the two babies were also staring at each other.

There were only five or six small bird eggs in the bird's nest on the ground, and Su Muyao happened to pass by and licked her lips, but she really hadn't tasted the taste of bird eggs.

Thinking of this, he went home and took his brothers and turned around and went up the mountain.

There are often a lot of people on the outskirts of this mountain looking for wild vegetables and fruits, as long as you don't go inside.

Su Muyao couldn't be more familiar with this mountain, and she had probably seen the places where she could basically walk by riding the wolf king before.

When I first came to the dense forest on the side of the mountain, something suddenly fell from the top of my head.

Su Muyao subconsciously took a step back, only to see a spiky ball rolling down to the ground in front of her eyes.

Squatting down and looking at this thorny ball is a little familiar, and he opened it with his hand and was shocked that it turned out to be a chestnut.

"I'm obedient, fortunately, I just subconsciously took a step back, which hurts to think about it."

She looked up and saw a chestnut tree overhead, hidden among the old trees, and the chestnuts of the season were wrapped in a still green shell.

If you are far away, you will not be able to see that this tree is full of chestnuts.

The little man, holding the trunk of the tree, wanted to shake one or two, but suddenly thought of something, and shouted that his brother had found two thick sticks of wood from the forest and beat them on the branches of the chestnut tree.

Plop down from the trees with one thorn after another balls.

The people digging wild vegetables not far away also found Xiao Fuxing here, I don't know what to do, this kind of thorn ball can't be eaten, what are you doing with it?

"Little Fuxing, you want to play with this, come to Auntie to help you"

"Uncle will help you too".

Soon, someone hugged Su Muyao aside, and the big guy knocked down all the thorn balls on the tree before he was relieved, and let a few children play under the tree.

It wasn't good for the thing to fall from the tree and hit the children's heads, especially the soft and glutinous little lucky star.

It is they who are going to hurt and feel distressed.

Su Muyao watched these people in the village finish helping her, and they were going to separate to find wild vegetables, and immediately opened her mouth to stop everyone.

"Uncle, aunts, the things on this tree are edible, and my master taught me that this chestnut can be eaten raw or boiled, it is very sweet."

As soon as the people heard this, they hurriedly came back, and a few bold ones directly followed the example of the little milk ball and pulled out the fruit inside.

I took a bite with my mouth, and I only felt that the skin on the outside was hard and hard, and the fruit on the inside had a sweet feeling.

"I can really eat it.

Only then did everyone react, it turned out that Xiao Fuxing was not playing with the discovery of new food.

The people looked up at the trees above their heads, and not far away, there were at least three or four.

One of the little sisters-in-law asked Su Muyao, "Good girl, can we pick the other trees?" ”

I saw the little milk dumpling snort and laughed, "What did Auntie say?" This is an ownerless thing, everyone can take it back."

"Oh, okay"

No one who had been knocked to the ground by these people before would pick up a few children's things, and they went to a few trees next to them to hunt chestnuts.

Basically, three or four people shook a tree, and only the rustling of leaves could be heard in the forest, and a group of people rarely spoke.

Everyone knew in their hearts that if they moved slowly, and when others came over, they would have to divide up these chestnuts, which were not much.

Su Muyao and a few brothers carried a few small bamboo back baskets on their backs, all of which were full.

Then I went home.

At this time, there were also people passing by on the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and when they saw this scene, they quickly joined the team of picking chestnuts.

The small bamboo basket that Su Muyao was carrying weighed at most two catties, and looking at the bamboo baskets of her brothers, there were nearly ten or twenty catties.

Before leaving, I also took a closer look at this area, which is only a few chestnut trees.

As soon as they got home, a few children handed out the tempting little fruits one by one, just like offering treasures.

Mrs. Su looked at the small fruits in the hands of several grandchildren, and she had never seen them before.

can't blame this little old lady for not knowing, the main thing is that Su Muyao asked her brothers to take out the small fruit in the mountain.

If you get the whole ball back, it won't be much.

Su Muyao thought of the sugar-fried chestnuts she ate in her previous life, and she still missed it very much.

I'm not a professional, but I shouldn't be much worse if I follow along.

Wash all the chestnuts before cutting them into a cross knife and then steam them in a large pot.

Pour all the previously boiled lard into the pot, and add a large handful of sugar to it when the oil is hot.

began to slowly wait for the sugar to boil into syrup, and the old lady Su on the side looked distressed and pumped.

A small half jar of oil can be eaten for at least half a month, and it was lost by his own little granddaughter.

And the sugar, "Oh, what kind of chestnut is this, it costs so much oil and sugar."

"Grandma, you are distressed now, and you will know Lao Xiang when you can eat it."

Mrs. Su didn't say anything, but what she thought in her heart was whether it could be fragrant? With so much oil and sugar, hey, feeding this stuff is really expensive.

After the syrup is browned, a large pot of chestnuts is poured into the pot and stir-fried with a large spatula.

He also instructed his grandmother to change the fire to a small fire, until the chestnuts slowly changed color.

A gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of chestnuts blew to Su Saburo, who was still busy in the yard, took a sharp breath.

"What's going on in this stove? Why is it so fragrant? ”

Su Mingxuan raised his little hand, "Daddy, I know it's my sister, my sister said that she wanted to fry chestnuts for us to eat, and now Grandpa and Grandma are helping to make it in the kitchen."

The three daughters-in-law, who were sewing and mending in the house, also came out to the kitchen to see what was so fragrant.

Before Su Saburo could ask what a chestnut was, he saw his youngest son drop the things in his hand and run to the stove room.

Su Mingxuan, who came to the stove room, swallowed fiercely, salivating "Sister is so fragrant".

It wasn't until Old Man Su squeezed the spatula like a hot wheel, and finally, a large pot of chestnuts was bright in color, and the flesh at the opening turned golden yellow.

The chestnuts are covered in oil and sugar, making them mouth-watering.

Old man Su wanted to take one of them out and taste it first, but Su Muyao quickly stopped him.

"Grandpa can't eat what he just fried now, otherwise his teeth will be broken."
