Chapter 78 Wild Sweet Potatoes and Chestnuts
"It's all minor problems, you don't need to worry about them, anyway, they just make you beat Shen Dabao all over the place!"

"Oh!" Shen Shu'an nodded with half-belief,
"You do not trust me?"

"Trust!" Shen Shu'an's eyes flashed with struggle, and then he said firmly,
As long as it is said by his sister-in-law, he will believe it!
Anyway, even if he used the moves taught by his sister-in-law, at worst he would be beaten up again by Shen Dabao if he lost!He's a boy, nothing!Anyway, even if you are injured, you can take care of it.
When the time comes, his second sister will be a doctor, and she will be fine soon!

"But Shen Dabao gave food to the children in the village! So what should I do? I don't want to give away our family's things, otherwise if someone sees them, they will miss our family's good things! Just those few in our village Wealthy households, some bums in the village often go to their houses, I don’t want such people to climb the walls of our house, so the good things in the house must never be taken out!”

Jiang Ci couldn't help laughing when she heard Tongqu's words,
This seven or eight-year-old little luotou thinks a lot!
He actually knows how to plan ahead!
But this also reminded Jiang Ci that their house is a bit eye-catching in this village. If she is really targeted by someone with a heart, it will be fine if she is at home by then. Bring disaster.

She has to wait for her injuries to heal before setting traps for some places in the house that are easy for people to enter.
Of course it's best if it doesn't work, but if someone really dares to put his hand into their house, that person must suffer a big loss.

"Isn't it easy to eat? With our backs on the mountains, we go up to pheasants, hares, silly roe deer, down to small fish, small shrimps, mountains and crabs. Isn't there much to eat? But you are a child after all, so you shouldn't be so demanding! Let's go, my sister-in-law will teach you to find food in the mountains."

"Apart from wild vegetables in the mountains, is there anything children can eat?"

"Of course!" Jiang Ci beamed with joy,
The two came to the foot of the mountain side by side. After a few steps, Jiang Ci squatted in front of a green plant, and could vaguely see rows of small red fruits under the green plant.

"Sister-in-law, why are you staring at this grass! This kind of grass grows in the crops, it is annoying, and its fruit is dry, and there are worms, it is disgusting!"

Shen Shu'an made a disgusted expression while talking,

"Is that so?" Jiang Ci looked at Shen Shu'an and made a fool of herself.
And Shen Shuan answered very quickly:
"Of course it's true. My mother and I saw a lot of this fruit when weeding the fields in the old house. Every time we had to get it far away from the field, otherwise as long as there was a chance, it would Things will grow in the ground again!"

However, Jiang Ci ignored Shen Shuan's obstruction, and picked a small red fruit from the green vine.
Separate the fruit from the middle, and the rich fragrance immediately filled Shen Shuan's nose,
Shen Shu'an's words of persuasion stopped immediately, and she stared intently at the fruit in Jiang Ci's hand, as if she was getting to know the fruit again.

I saw that the inside of the fruit was full of small pulp particles, and there was a hollow core in the middle. After Jiang Ci took a bite of the fruit,
Breaking open another red fruit and handing it to Shen Shuan, Shen Shuan took a bite just like his sister-in-law.
Immediately, I felt a mouthful of sweet syrup bursting in my mouth. I saw that the fruit was not only juicy, but also very sweet!
Jiang Ci said unhurriedly: "This red fruit is called wild sweet potato, also called wild loquat and ground pomegranate. What you said before is the male sweet potato that grows in the ground. That kind is indeed not edible, but we eat it now." These are called female sweet potatoes. The method to distinguish between male and female sweet potatoes is very simple. You only need to break apart the purple-red fruit. If the pulp is juicy, it is edible; if there is no obvious moisture after breaking it, it is not edible. of."

"Wow! Sister-in-law, you know so much!" Shen Shu'an sighed,
The whole village only knew that it was a harmful weed in the field, but they never thought that the fruit on the vine could have such a sweet taste.

"It's okay!" Jiang Ci answered two words in a whisper, picked a few fruits, washed them in the nearby stream, and ate them as snacks.
As for Shen Shu'an, he plucked half of his sleeves, and ate while walking contentedly.

Jiang Ci took Shen Shu'an up the mountain for a while, and then stopped under a big tree.

And stooped under the tree as if looking for something,
Within a few seconds, Jiang Ci proudly held a miniature chestnut in his hand: "Sure enough, there is such a thing in the mountains."

"Sister-in-law, why is this chestnut so small?" Shen Shuan looked surprised,
"Chestnut? This is not a chestnut, it's called a chestnut."

"Chestnut?"

"Hmm. You can see that the shape of the chestnut is similar to the chestnut. The color is basically the same, but the shape is different. The shape of the chestnut is like a small awl, with a round end and a pointed end. The color of the fruit is bright and full, and it looks bigger than the chestnut. It's more delicate. But don't look at the similar appearance, this chestnut is softer and sweeter than chestnuts, try it."

Jiang Ci broke open the shell of the chestnut, revealing the milky white flesh inside, and handed it to Shen Shuan,

Shen Shu'an took a sip, and immediately narrowed his eyes comfortably: "Sure enough, it tastes sweeter than chestnuts!"

Jiang Ci smiled and nodded,

"The trees that produce these things are all old trees. When the chestnuts are mature, they will fall off the branches automatically, so you don't have to go to the trees to pick them. You can just pick them up on the ground. The chestnuts that fall on the ground exude a unique aroma. If you don't pick them in time Being picked up always attracts a lot of wildlife, so now is the best time to pick up chestnuts."

"Sister-in-law! Chestnuts are so much tastier than chestnuts, why don't we just sell fried chestnuts with sugar? It's definitely more popular than fried chestnuts!"

While picking it up, Shen Shuan said happily,

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ci shook his head: "No way! First: the yield of Chinese chestnuts is small, and 2 to 3 chestnuts can be produced in the chestnut thorn ball, while only 1 Chinese chestnut can be produced in the Chinese chestnut thorn ball, so compared with the Chestnuts, the yield of chestnuts is large, and we can pick more."

"Second: Although the chestnut tastes better than the chestnut, it is too small, and there are many fallen leaves in autumn, which makes it difficult for us to find it on the ground, which brings great difficulties to the supply chain. And a catty of chestnuts is a stick of incense. It can be picked in time, but if we want to pick a catty of chestnuts, we have to spend at least four or five times the time, and we may not be able to find them. Therefore, this chestnut is more suitable for the family to eat or as a snack for children, and sell it , not suitable!"

And Shen Shu'an looked greatly shocked:
"I didn't expect to pay so much attention to selling food!"

"That's not true! You have to rely on your brain to do things!" Jiang Ci pointed to her temple,

And Shen Shu'an nodded heavily,

And Jiang Ci never thought that he just brought the child out to introduce some food on the mountain. One day, when the child led the soldiers to fight through a dangerous canyon and was trapped, he just relied on the experiences his sister-in-law said to help the army live in the canyon. After a full fifty days, they finally turned defeat into victory.

"Yeah! Sister-in-law, I'll bring some back to my parents today, so they can try it too!"
