Chapter 170 Picking up mountain goods (2)
"Second Sister, why are you still standing there? Now most of the chestnuts on the tree have fallen off, so hurry up and pick them up."
After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, the second sister finally came back to her senses. She closed her opened mouth and swallowed, "Xiaoxiao, you must be too strong."
"Hehe... I was born with great strength, maybe I followed my dad, and his strength is very strong." In order to prevent the second sister from continuing to ask, I can only say this.
"It turns out that's the case, so it's not surprising. I can also eat as special as my dad. In my family, my dad and I eat the most."
"Second Sister, let's not discuss the issue of genetics for now, let's pick up chestnuts quickly and see if there are enough chestnuts on the ground to fill our baskets, if not, I will kick them down more."
In the next hour or so, Lu Xiaoxiao and the second sister kept peeling the thorn shells to get chestnuts. When encountering thorn shells that were particularly difficult to open, Lu Xiaoxiao took them into the space when the second sister and the others were not paying attention.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, all the chestnuts that had been shaken were finally picked up. Although the four people's back baskets were only two-thirds full, this was the best way.
One reason is that all the chestnuts in the back basket are peeled off their thorns. If you fill a back basket, you can imagine the weight, so two-thirds of it is just within the range that the second sister and the others can bear.
Secondly, one-third of the space in the back basket can be used to put hogweed, so that the chestnuts in the back basket can be covered to prevent people from finding out.
"Second Sister is getting late now, and will have to cut pigweed to cover the chestnuts later, so let's go down the mountain first, and pick up the remaining chestnuts tomorrow."
"Okay, but we won't cut hogweed tomorrow morning. Looking at the chestnuts left on the tree, it may take three trips to pick them all up. Let's come early tomorrow and try to pick them all up in one day.
And now that the autumn harvest is over, the villagers go up the mountain to pick up mountain goods every day. I'm afraid they will find out, so we must hurry up. "
"Okay, but second sister, be careful when you go home, don't let others see that you are not carrying pigweed, after all, a basket of pigweed is much lighter than half a large basket of chestnuts."
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, we have been working since we were young. Although our strength is not as strong as yours, it is still no problem to carry these chestnuts."
"That's good, let's go down the mountain now."
When she came to the foot of the mountain, Lu Xiaoxiao found that there was no one around, so she quickly cut a handful of pigweed and put it in the basket. The second sister and the others did the same thing. After doing all this, Lu Xiaoxiao and the second sister made an appointment tomorrow When they went up the mountain, they went home separately.
When Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, she dumped all the chestnuts in the basket on the ground. She picked out all the scratched ones, and put all the intact ones into the space for storage.
Looking at the pile of scratched chestnuts on the ground, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the chestnut rice and chestnut roast chicken she had eaten in a farm in her previous life, and swallowed her saliva involuntarily.
She must eat chestnut rice and chestnut roast chicken tonight, otherwise she would drool when dreaming at night. In her previous life, she fell in love with chestnut roast and chestnut rice once in that farm, but since the farm is in another province, so she never had the chance to eat again.
Lu Xiaoxiao later bought chestnuts and tried to cook these two dishes at home, but she still couldn't make the taste of cooking in a large farmhouse firewood pot.
Now she is a person who has a big firewood pot and ingredients. It can be said that she has the right time, place and people. This time she will definitely be able to cook that kind of taste.
