The old lady's house has a total of 22 eggs, the eggs in this era are not big, there are about 10 per catty, and 22 are 2 catties and one tael, Ning Shu paid according to the price charged by the original owner, 9 cents and 9 cents, she gave a dollar.

Coming out of the old lady's house, it was already half past four when he returned home, Ning Shu looked at the existing ingredients, and the idea of originally planning to cook was dispelled, Sanbao was still young and couldn't eat rice, if he cooked, he had to make porridge for Sanbao, it was better to make sweet potato rice porridge, Sanbao could eat it, and they could eat it. Speaking of this porridge for the little doll, Ning Shu remembered the bamboo porridge made by her grandmother when she was a child.

The custom of her hometown is that her parents follow her youngest son, so she said that she was raised at her grandmother's house, but in fact, it is also the family of her little uncle and aunt. But the little uncle doesn't care about anything, the little aunt is a generous person, and they have been working outside, and they don't come back until the New Year all year round, but even if they only come back for a few days during the New Year, in the past ten years, the little aunt has never been cold to her.

Later, the little aunt gave birth to a child, and the little cousin was also brought up by her grandmother, and when the little cousin was about the same age as Sanbao, her grandmother made him a bamboo tube porridge that children could drink, and the porridge was really fragrant, and at that time, she was hungry.

In fact, the practice of bamboo tube porridge is very simple, first of all, a bamboo tube, and then put rice and water in accordance with the proportion of boiling porridge, the difference is that when grandma used to make bamboo tube porridge, she would put a piece of fat in it, and then bury the bamboo tube under the stove and cover it with a thin layer of plant ash, so that the charcoal with the fire that falls after the firewood burns will be covered on the grass ash, and then the temperature transmitted by the plant ash can cover the porridge in the bamboo tube, and the bamboo tube will not burn.

Ning Shu thought about it now, and couldn't help but lick her lips, she couldn't remember the taste of the bamboo porridge, but she was really impressed by the fragrant and gluttonous feeling.

It's a pity that there is no bamboo tube now, and there is no way to make bamboo tube meat porridge for Sanbao, so I can only wait for dinner to ask someone to make a few bamboo tubes, which is very convenient to make bamboo tubes, and I can use them tomorrow if I make them today. By the way, you can let Father Lin do it, and then take the opportunity to send the farmer's bacon over.

When the time comes, it will be convenient to make bamboo porridge for Sanbao.

After thinking about it, Ning Shu set about today's dinner. She first cooked sweet potato rice porridge, then steamed an egg custard for Sam Bao on the steaming bar, and then made a fried cabbage with green onion and bacon. Fortunately, because the original owner can't cook, there are still a lot of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home.

After making dinner, Ning Shu began to boil water while waiting for the three treasures to come back.

She didn't wait for a moment before the voices of the three treasures sounded outside.

"Sanbao, don't move, come out when you're home." Erbao looked at Sanbao Dao, who was constantly struggling out in the basket.

Seeing that home was in front, Sanbao, who had been in the basket all afternoon, couldn't stay stunned, he grabbed the edge of the basket with his small hand, and his body in the basket kept leaning out, wanting to go out. "Pots and pots go out, pots and pots go out......"

Yibao and Erbao were already very tired after picking up firewood for a long time, and they were a little powerless to carry their younger brother back.

At this time, Ning Shu, who heard the movement inside, came out. And then...... Ning Shu's eyes were about to fall off, because the first treasure and the second treasure were shirtless.

"What's wrong with you? What about clothes? Looking at the two treasures who were only wearing pants, Ning Shu couldn't help but make up his brain, who was fighting with whom his clothes were torn.

"The clothes are in the basket." Yibao said, "Today, when Erbao went to collect firewood, he saw chestnuts, and his clothes were used to wrap chestnuts, and I was worried that the shell of the chestnuts would stab Sanbao, so I wrapped my clothes outside." As he spoke, Yibao asked Erbao to put down the basket, and then the two of them helped the basket to fall down, so that Sanbao could climb out of the basket, and the hairy chestnut wrapped in two clothes was under Sanbao's buttocks.

Although the thorns on the hairy chestnut shell are also soft and will not sting people, Yibao's carefulness makes Ning Shu surprised and sad at the same time. A child who is only five years old, if it is not for the original owner to do nothing, it is clear that he is still an innocent age.

"Mother...... Mother ......" Sanbao crawled out of the basket and crawled towards Ning Shu.

Ning Shu came back to her senses in the cry of Sanbao, she took a few steps forward to help Sanbao, Yibao had already opened her clothes and exposed the hairy chestnuts inside to Ning Shu. Ning Shu, who was still sad for Yibao just now, was full of business opportunities to make money at this moment. The market price of currency chestnuts is 8 yuan a catty, and the so-called currency is regardless of size. If you do a group purchase on the APP, you can sell it for 6 yuan a catty.

Thinking of this, Ning Shu hurriedly asked, "Yibao, is this chestnut tree planted by someone?" Or is it wild in the mountains? ”

"It's not grown by anyone." Yibao said, "It was Erbao who saw it with Brother Xiaoshan when he was collecting firewood, but Erbao can't climb trees, he can only pick up the ground, Brother Xiaoshan can climb trees, and he picks more than Erbao when he goes to the tree." ”

In fact, this wild chestnut tree is picked every year, but this year, before everyone started, they were picked by these firewood children. Moreover, this is not an era of famine, and adults do not go out of their way to pick them, and adults prefer to nibble on sweet potatoes rather than chestnuts, which are troublesome to eat. For children, it can be used as a snack. However, chestnuts are easy to be thirsty when eaten, and cooking chestnuts in this era is not like adding sugar to increase sweetness in later generations, so chestnuts in this era are not so delicious in everyone's mouth.

Hearing Yibao say that this chestnut tree was not planted by someone, Ning Shu moved his mind to pick it. Since this chestnut tree is wild, it belongs to the people in the brigade and is publicly owned, so everyone can pick it. "Are there many chestnuts on the chestnut tree?"

Yibao didn't know why his mother asked this, he didn't care about his mother before, but he still answered honestly: "There are a lot, but the trees are very high, we can't pick them, we can only pick up the ones on the ground." ”

"That's nothing, you can't pick the chestnuts I picked them, and you can use a bamboo stick to knock down the chestnuts and pick them up again." Ning Shu disagreed, the business opportunity was in front of him, there was no cost input, and it was profitable to sell as much as he wanted. Anyway, she is just an idler who doesn't work in the brigade and can go up the mountain every day.

Yibao's eyes widened: "Mother, do you want to go chestnut picking with us?" "He's not got enough of his little head, and he doesn't understand what the is going to do? In the past, his mother never went to the mountains, even to collect firewood, either to let them go, or to let his grandparents send it.

Ning Shu happily painted a flatbread for Yibao: "Yes, I'll go with you, Yibao, chestnuts can be exchanged for eggs, or for pears or apples given to you today, fragrant pears are the fruits you eat at noon...... In this way, if you and I go to pick chestnuts, I can give you pears or apples as a reward, and you can choose which one you want. ”

"Niangniang, can these chestnuts I pick up be exchanged for fragrant pears for lunch?" Erbao hurriedly asked. He hadn't eaten an apple yet, so he didn't know the taste of apples, but the fragrant pears he ate at noon were so delicious that he licked the juice off his hands.

"Really?" Yibao couldn't believe that his mother wanted to exchange such delicious fragrant pears for chestnuts, was his mother stupid?

Of course, although Yibao thought so, he didn't dare to ask his mother if she was stupid. If the is really stupid, that's fine. Compared with the mother who only cared about eating for herself before, the mother who will give them meat and fruits today is better, so he also hopes that his mother is stupid.

"Really." Ning Shu assured Yibao, "I mean what I say." ”

"That ......" Yibao didn't know if his mother would be counted if he spoke, but if what his mother said was true, then he and Erbao went to pick up chestnuts every day, and they could get a fruit every day, so that he could eat them with Erbao and Sanbao, so he decided to try, "Mother, then I'll pick up chestnuts tomorrow." ”

"I'm going, I'm going." Erbao also said anxiously that picking chestnuts can be exchanged for delicious fruits, and fools don't go. However, Erbao still remembered that his mother hadn't answered his question yet, "Mother, you haven't said that these chestnuts I picked up can be exchanged for fragrant pears for lunch?" ”

"Yes." Ning Shu naturally wouldn't refuse, and she wouldn't dislike a lot of chestnuts, "In this way, is it okay to exchange a pound of chestnuts for a fragrant pear?" ”

Erbao heard that there was a fragrant pear, and his eyes lit up. But how much is a pound of chestnuts? Erbao cub, who didn't even have a kindergarten diploma, frowned stiffly, and he didn't dare to agree immediately: "Brother, how much is a pound of chestnuts?" "My brother said that he was asked about something.

This question is so difficult that he doesn't know how much a pound of chestnuts is, because he doesn't have a kindergarten diploma. But, "I'll ask Grandma." With that, he ran away.

Ning Shu looked at them and smiled lightly: "Okay, you go and ask." ”

Yibao ran to the old mansion, and the adults of the old mansion had just finished work and had not eaten dinner yet, some were washing their hands in the yard, and some were sitting under the eaves to rest. Yibao saw that his grandmother was not in the yard, so he ran in and shouted, "Grandma...... Grandma ......"

"Yibao, what are you looking for your grandmother?" Father Lin asked.

Yibao covered his mouth and shook his head, he didn't tell others about exchanging chestnuts for eggs and fruits, if there were more people who knew about it, and there were more people who picked up chestnuts, then he and his brother could pick up fewer chestnuts.

Mother Lin heard Yibao's voice coming out of the house: "Yibao, what are you looking for me?" ”

Yibao asked Lin Mu to bend over, and he whispered in her ear: "Grandma, my mother wants to exchange eggs, fragrant pears or apples for the chestnuts that Erbao picked up today, my mother said that one pound of chestnuts for an egg or fruit, how much is a pound of chestnuts?" ”

Mother Lin was stunned, what is this third daughter-in-law doing? Although she didn't understand, she didn't want to care about the third daughter-in-law's affairs, and she didn't dare to care. "A treasure, a pound of chestnuts have to be weighed with a scale."

"Grandma, do you have a scale?" Yibao thought for a moment and said, "But I don't know how to use scales." ”

"You wait......" Mother Lin said, and entered the house again, and when she came out, she took the scale, "Yibao, grandma taught you to use scales, you look at it, if you look at it, if you say a catty, it will be here......" Mother Lin taught one side, Yibao still didn't understand, Mother Lin taught the second time, Yibao understood a little, Mother Lin taught the third time, and Yibao finally learned to use a scale.
