Chapter 6 Try Stir-fried Chestnuts with Honey

Along the way, Xu Jianing was very quiet.

After Xu's father peeked at her several times, he finally couldn't help but sighed and said, "Ning'er, it's all because my father is useless, and you have been wronged."

"I'll go to the depths of the forest to have a look later, you just sit on that rock and wait for me to come back. Remember, don't go far."

After finishing speaking, he took out a self-made wooden whistle from his arms and stuffed it into her hand, "You put this thing away. If you are in danger, just blow it, and I will appear soon."

Xu Jianing originally wanted to refuse, but in her opinion, this thing is of no use.

Even if he was really in danger, with his father's speed, if he could get to her side smoothly, it might be too late.

But seeing Father Xu's worried eyes, she couldn't bear to make him sad.I had no choice but to hide the things in my sleeves silently, and nodded at him.

After arranging all this, Father Xu left with peace of mind.

Xu Jianing was not idle either. After observing the surrounding environment, she picked up a stick from the ground and walked into the woods.How could she miss such a good opportunity?
It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, looking at the increasingly dense forest, Xu Jianing felt his heart pounding.

Afraid of getting lost, she made signs along the way.

It was the first time she ran to such a strange place, and she didn't intend to risk herself.So, she didn't go too far. After walking a few steps, she stopped under a big tree not far away.

Seeing the hairball-shaped thing that fell to the ground under the tree, I suddenly felt a little familiar.

She bent down and pulled it with a wooden stick. Some of them had opened, and it was easy to see what was wrapped inside.

She is happy, isn't this a chestnut?

A lot of ways to make chestnuts immediately flashed in my mind.These are all money!
Looking at such a large area of ​​chestnut trees, she felt the joy of getting rich.

Regardless of whether it was dirty or not, she put down the basket, squatted down, and began to pick up things on the ground.

Soon, she picked up all the chestnuts on the ground, and only half of the basket was carried.

Seeing that there are still so many chestnuts on the tree that have not been removed, she is a little worried.

She tried to knock the chestnuts on the tree with the stick in her hand, but she couldn't reach it at all.

With an idea, she kicked the chestnut tree with all her strength, and in an instant, the mature chestnuts on the chestnut tree fell down.

This made her kick harder and harder without feeling tired at all.

It's just that she didn't expect her behavior to be so abnormal in the eyes of others.

When Father Xu came over, he saw Xu Jianing frantically kicking a big tree full of green balls.

Abandoning the prey he was carrying, he rushed over quickly, ignoring the discomfort of his legs, and grabbed his daughter who was a little strange from behind.

"Ning'er, is there something wrong? It's not good for dad. Dad shouldn't have left you there alone. Don't kick, be careful to hurt your foot. Dad will take you home right away. Let's go back and drink chicken soup. "

Xu Jianing, who was playing happily at first, didn't notice at all. At some point, there was suddenly another person beside him.

After hearing a familiar voice, she excitedly said to Father Xu: "Father, look, I found my treasure."

Looking at the green fur balls on the ground, Xu's father smiled bitterly, these are nothing precious, they are all useless things.

He thought to himself, this girl's head must have been thrown hard.

He has to quickly find a way to get him back, and then find Dr. Liu to take a look.

Afraid of irritating her, he thought about it, and said to Xu Jianing like coaxing a child, "Ning'er, look, this thing has thorns and it's easy to hurt your hands. Let's not use it."

Like presenting a treasure, he brought all the wild game that had just been dropped in front of Xu Jianing, "Look, Ning'er, dad just hunted some fat pheasants, let's go back and make soup for you to feed you .”

That coaxing tone made Xu Jianing frowned, "Father, what's wrong with you? I'm not a child, you don't need to talk to me like this."

"What I said just now is serious. I really have a way to exchange these chestnuts into money. Dad, while it's still early, help me pick these up in the back basket. The more the better."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jianing got busy on his own.

After deliberating over and over again, Xu's father couldn't help but said, "Ning'er, there are a lot of these things during the autumn harvest every year. The whole body is full of thorns, and they can't be eaten or used. How do you sell them for money?"

Xu Jianing's eyes lit up when he heard that there were still many of them.

She was not annoyed by her father's words. She calmly picked out a cracked chestnut from the pile of fur balls, and with a strong hand, she removed the obstructing coat, and threw the flesh inside out. He put it in his mouth and started to eat seriously.

The unpolluted raw chestnut tastes sweet and crisp.

"Ning'er, what are you doing? Spit out the food quickly. If you're hungry, let's go back quickly, and dad will cook something delicious for you."

Father Xu stomped beside him anxiously.But Xu Jianing leisurely continued with the action.

It wasn't until she finished peeling another one that she slowly said, "Father, come and try one too. It's really all right."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that when I was young, when I went out to collect firewood, every time I was hungry, I would look for something to eat in the mountains. This thing looks scary, but the food inside is really edible. Especially after cooking, the taste is better than now. fine."

Father Xu took the food with a complicated expression and tasted it.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xu Jianing couldn't help but leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

In her opinion, it is impossible to change Father Xu's mind at once.Can only come step by step.

The situation of their family is not good now, and it will be winter soon, and before that, they have to fix the house.And the premise is to have money.

With her current ability, she still needs the support of her family.And his father is currently the only person who can help her.That's why she chose to talk to her father a little bit.

"It's really good. It's just Ning'er, this thing is nothing special to us rural people. It's impossible to sell it like this. I'm worried"

Seeing that he finally let go, Xu Jianing breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Father, believe me, this thing can really sell for money."

"Do you know where there are honeycombs in the woods? Sugar is not cheap, right? Let's use honey instead, make sugar-fried chestnuts, and sell them in the town. It basically costs nothing, and maybe we can make a fortune. Let's Just try it, okay?"

After pondering for a moment, Father Xu nodded in agreement.He knew that his daughter was also doing it for the good of their family.He could feel her change, and he was willing to accompany her to try this fried chestnut with honey.
