Chapter 52 Chestnut
The sea breeze blows across the vast sea, rushes along the cliffs, and rushes into the mountains.Bamboo leaves fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.

In this quiet place, who would have thought that there are two wild chestnut trees outside the bamboo forest.

Two nearly five-meter-tall chestnut trees have lush branches, and the branches are almost deformed under the weight of their dense fruits.There were even some that were directly crushed and half-hanging to the ground.

Not only that, there were many fallen chestnuts spread on the ground.Some of them are still wrapped in thorn balls, and some have been opened and exposed.

Wen Xian was so happy that she couldn't help laughing.

There were so many chestnuts that she could already imagine the taste of chestnut stewed chicken and sugar-roasted chestnuts.Although there is no sugar, it is also extremely delicious when fried directly.

Wen Xian didn't care about anything else and rushed forward, picked up an open chestnut, bit it open with her upper teeth, peeled it off, and then threw it into her mouth.

The familiar taste, more original than in her previous life, made her squint her eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

The few people who came after hearing her laughter were attracted by Fang Jiaren before they had time to ask what happened.

Fang Jiaren knew Chestnut. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but scream and said excitedly: "Lizi, it's chestnut!"

Originally, she was still wondering what happened to Wen Xian, but she actually laughed heartily.Now that she saw so many chestnuts, she wanted to laugh a few times.

In fact, she actually laughed out loud.

Wen Xian raised the corners of her mouth and raised her chin and said, "They are chestnuts, also called chestnuts. You guys should pick up two and taste them first. After you taste them, go to work and pick up a basket of chestnuts and go back to eat."

Fortunately, I brought two backpacks with me this time, one for bamboo shoots and one for chestnuts.

There are so many chestnuts that one basket cannot contain them all.For the rest, just wait until the chestnuts fall off naturally, or she can beat them back one after another.

Just when they heard Wen Xian's laughter, everyone ran over, even the bamboo cutter ran over with a knife.

After everyone had tasted the chestnuts, Wen Xian asked the bamboo cutter to go back and continue cutting the bamboo, removing the branches and leaves from the bamboo.

The remaining people are here to pick up chestnuts. After picking up the chestnuts, everyone will go back together.

"It's so delicious." Fang Jiaren sighed while picking up chestnuts. "It's a pity that we only have one old hen, otherwise we could still make chestnut stewed chicken."

In fact, I had caught a pheasant before, but it was unfortunately eaten long ago.Now, apart from an egg-laying pheasant and two little rabbits, there are only fish in the house.

Fish stewed with chestnuts is poisonous just thinking about it.

Wen Xian used a stone to smash open the layer of thorns wrapped around the chestnuts. She took out the chestnuts and threw them into the basket and said, "Let's make a trap in the mountains tomorrow. Maybe we can catch pheasants again. I won't care until then." Roosters and hens will make soup for you."

If there is bamboo, she can also weave a bamboo cover.The bamboo cover is used as a trap to catch birds, which can catch birds accurately.

Of course, it can also be used to catch pheasants. Just make the bamboo cover bigger when weaving it.

"It's delicious when eaten raw." Bai Qiangwei couldn't help but raise her hand and said weakly, "Or just stew the chestnuts, which are pink and pink, like eating pastries."

Zheng Rou nodded, with a nostalgic look on her face: "If you can make chestnut cake and let me taste the taste of chestnut cake again, I will die without regrets."

They, the harem women, prefer eating cakes to eating meat.Unfortunately, these are scarce items for them now.

"Bah, bah, bah." Hu Ke'er glared at her and said, "What's the matter of immortality? The most difficult time has passed. Our lives will be prosperous and prosperous in the future."

To be honest, their current life of fish, meat and fruits is much better than that of many poor people.

Zheng Rou quickly reached out and patted her mouth. Ma Liu nodded and admitted her mistake: "Yes, yes, I made a mistake. We should be satisfied that we can live the life we ​​have now."

Apart from life and death, everything is trivial. What is there to be dissatisfied about if you can have enough food and drink?

Wen Xian smiled and shook her head and said, "Don't worry, there will be some pastries and some stewed chicken." She clenched her fists, and as the days went by, there would be more.

There are a lot of chestnuts on the ground. Even if the shell of the thorny balls is peeled off and only the chestnuts inside are packed, most of the baskets will be filled.

Wen Xian broke off the broken chestnut branch with all her strength, then quickly picked off the chestnut shells and threw them into the basket.

She plans to carry these back and peel them off. After the peeled thorn balls are dried, they can be used as firewood.

However, when I was preparing to go back, I encountered a problem.

The basket full of chestnuts was very heavy. Wen Xian and the people present tried several times but failed to carry it.Even if two people lift it together, it is not easy.

Therefore, they could only run out and seek help from Sheng Lian'er in the bamboo cutting team.

Sheng Lian'er easily carried the basket on her back like a backpack, raised her head and muttered, "You still have to count on me."

Wen Xian gave her a thumbs up and praised her without hesitation: "Fortunately, I have you."

As for the advantages of having a strong man, this is it.

What's even more amazing is that in addition to carrying a basket of chestnuts, Sheng Lian'er also dragged two bamboos away.

In comparison, a person dragging only a piece of bamboo looks very delicate.

A basket full of chestnuts and a basket full of bamboo shoots surprised Jiang Jingwan and Zhou Hui who were staying in the cave.

The two of them put down what they were doing and quickly helped to pick up and process these things.

After a hasty lunch, Wen Xian started breaking bamboos without stopping and started weaving bamboo mats.

She wanted to make the bamboo mat stronger, so she had to break the bamboo pieces into larger pieces to avoid being crushed and having to be repaired.

But it should not be too big. If it is too big, the curvature of the bamboo itself will be too large, making it uncomfortable to sleep on.

Therefore, after Wen Xian divided the bamboo into sections, she split each section of bamboo into four parts.

After dividing it into four, use vines and pre-kneaded straw ropes to tie the bamboo pieces together tightly.Weave it down in this order to form bamboo mats.

After the bamboo mat was woven, Wu Junlan and Bai Qiangwei were the first to try it out and expressed their satisfaction.

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "The fresh bamboo we are using still has its own moisture on the bamboo mat. You can put it in the sun for a few days before using it."

However, this proposal was rejected.

Xia Zhi said calmly: "The moisture on the sleeping ground is heavier."

The hay they were laying on was visibly moist to the touch.It's better to just sleep on the bamboo mat, which will keep you dryer.

She thought for a while and couldn't help but said: "Madam, I'm going to pull two more bamboos and make another bamboo mat so that I can sleep alone."

She actually doesn't like everyone sleeping together. If she can make her own bamboo mat, she would like to sleep alone.

There wasn't enough space inside, so she could sleep near the entrance of the cave, near the door.The left and right bamboo mats are easy to move and can be placed wherever you want.

 Flowers are blooming, the moon is full, and people are always here. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
