Chapter 19 Boiled Chestnut
In her previous life, she only saw it from a certain book, and it seemed that the color was bright and beautiful, and it seemed that it was inedible, and she didn't know about the rest.

However, Lin Xiaoxi knew that she had followed her brothers to the mountains several times, so the two sisters immediately turned into little girls picking mushrooms and worked hard to pick mushrooms.

Lin Xiaoqiao picked mushrooms quickly while humming the song "Little Mushroom Picking Girl".While picking, she found a few round fruits with needle-like green fluff scattered on the ground. Lin Xiaoqiao picked one up and held it in his hand to see, isn't this a chestnut?Just when she was about to push it away, Lin Xiaoxi came over and said: "Little sister, the mushrooms are almost picked. Hey, isn't this a prickly ball? It's not fun. Throw it away, let's go find grandpa and the others." Bar."

Prickly ball?threw?Is not fun?After listening to her sister's words, Lin Xiaoqiao was thinking about something quickly, but she was still not sure.So she pulled Lin Xiaoxi who was about to leave and asked: "Sister, this thing looks very nice, green and fluffy, let's pick some back."

Lin Xiaoxi didn't understand, so he said: "There are a lot of this thing on the mountain over there, what's so interesting about it, it's prickly, my little sister doesn't want it anymore."

Lin Xiaoqiao persisted, and asked excitedly, "Sister, can this be eaten?"

Lin Xiaoxi replied: "How can this be eaten? It's not a fruit, and it has grown thorny. Do you want to eat wild fruit? Let me look for it with you."

Lin Xiaoqiao is now completely sure that the people here don't know that chestnuts are edible. She remembers that she didn't find any chestnuts sold in the town last time.Lin Xiaoqiao shouted in his heart, "Long live God, thank God".Here's her chance to make money!
The name "thorn ball" is quite appropriate. From this name, it can be seen that people here have not yet used chestnuts as a food for entrance.Think about it too, the ancients themselves were conservative and pedantic, and these farmers would not go up the mountain easily, how could they have thought that there was such a treasure in its prickly shell.Lin Xiaoqiao really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, hahaha...

But now the top priority is how to get back these unwanted things?Looking at her sister's disgusted eyes, she thought it was funny, these were all money.Lin Xiaoqiao immediately took out the twelfth class of martial arts, acted coquettishly, pretended to be cute and playful, and then asked Lin Xiaoxi to help her pick up a half box of chestnuts and go back.

The old Li Tou and his grandfather also cut and tied the bamboo, ready to go down the mountain, so the group of four went down the mountain again.Back in the small courtyard of Li's family, Mrs. Sun came out to greet her immediately, and saw that the two sisters were terribly tired.With a reproach in his mouth, he said: "I told you not to go, you two insist on going, and leave my old lady at home alone, and see how tired she is now." Then she unloaded the two sisters' carrying baskets.Seeing a bamboo basket full of bamboo shoots, Mrs. Sun said cheerfully: "Well, we can add more vegetables tonight." Looking at Lin Xiaoqiao's bamboo basket, he found some mushrooms and chestnuts in it. He picked up a chestnut and asked: "Why did you carry this thing back? The old man didn't say anything. What's the use of this thing? Let our granddaughter carry such a heavy broken thing, and I have to give her little shoulders It's crushed." Old man Li came over to have a look, and said, "I don't know that the two of them picked these things, maybe the two sisters didn't know that these things were useless, picked them for fun, and threw them away. chant."

Lin Xiaoxi heard the words of the old Litou and his wife like the sound of heaven, thinking that you will know whether it is useful or not later.So he hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't throw it away, I finally recited it back, let me play with it, I think it looks pretty."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun stopped the momentum of throwing it away. Since the little granddaughter wants to play, let her play as much as she can. It's okay to throw it away when she gets tired of playing.So I picked up those bamboo shoots and mushrooms and went to deal with them.

Lin Xiaoxi moved a small bench, sat on the ground, pretended to be playing with the chestnuts, picked up a machete and peeled off the outermost shell of the chestnuts when no one was paying attention, and then took out a hard brown fruit.She was busy there alone, peeling the chestnuts one by one, finding a small basket to put them, and quickly put them in a small pile.

Lin Xiaoqiao hurriedly ran to his grandma, held up the basket in his hand and said, "Grandma, I peeled it out, let's cook it and eat it."

Sun looked at the pile of brown nuts, not quite sure what it was, and asked suspiciously: "Girl, what is this?"

Lin Xiaoqiao pointed at the pile of unpeeled chestnuts with a small finger, and said, "It's inside those prickly balls. I chopped it with a knife and peeled it out. I think this can be cooked and eaten. Let's cook and eat."

Sun looked in the direction of Lin Xiaoqiao's finger, and there was indeed a pile of green shells on the ground, and she was surprised: "Oh, it really came out of there. But can this thing be eaten?"

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard Sun questioning it, he nodded immediately and said, "Grandma, cook it for me, I want to try it." He looked at Sun pitifully while talking.

Mrs. Sun was amused by the little eyes, and said with a smile: "Sure, let's cook it. If you can eat it, you can give it to Xiaoqiao as a snack." Satisfied the granddaughter's little request.

Lin Xiaoqiao poured water into the pot himself, then put the chestnuts in and covered the pot.Just stood by the stove, staring at it without blinking.Seeing her serious appearance, Mrs. Sun laughed in her heart, her little granddaughter became more and more eccentric, not at all like before.

Hope and hope, after 10 minutes, the water in the pot boiled a little, Lin Xiaoqiao thought it should be almost ready.So the fresh hot chestnuts are out of the pan.Holding the chestnuts just out of the pot, Lin Xiaoqiao first put them in cold water to cool down, and then fished them out, wanting to pick one up and taste it.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sun stopped her movement and said angrily: "Look at your anxious look, you don't know if it's delicious or not. If it's not delicious, don't cry. Let grandma give it to you first." Taste it sweet, sour, or bitter, so as not to spoil your stomach."

After speaking, he picked up a chestnut and studied how to eat it.

Knowing Sun's intentions, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't express the emotion in his heart, his eyes were slightly red, he hugged Sun and said, "Grandma, I will definitely be filial to you!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun patted her little granddaughter's back lightly, and said happily: "Okay, grandma is waiting for the filial piety of our little bridge girl."

Lin Xiaoqiao helped Mrs. Sun to bite and peel the chestnuts. The two of them tasted it. It tasted glutinous, sweet, soft and delicious.So Mrs. Sun took these chestnuts to the main room and called the other three people to come and eat chestnuts.

Lin Xiaoxi was eating a chestnut in his mouth, looking like he was enjoying it, and said: "Grandma, what is this, it tastes strange?" Then he peeled another one.
