Chapter 9 Picking Chestnuts

Chapter 9 Picking Chestnuts

"Isn't it the autumn harvest?" Shen Dashan didn't have much confidence in saying this, after all, who knows if it will rain in more than a month?If it really doesn't fall, I'm afraid the crops in the field will die of drought.

"Then tell me, if it really doesn't rain, the fields won't be able to collect food, and the price of food will rise again, what will our family eat?"

Shen Dashan was speechless, how did he know if it was going to rain or not?But if it really doesn't rain, the price of grain after the autumn harvest may not be affordable for people like them who plan to eat in the fields.

"Let me tell you, let's listen to Miss Lin, buy some food and put it away. Even if it rains later, we will only lose some money. If it doesn't rain, our whole family will not starve to death."

After thinking about it, Shen Dashan nodded, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the elders of the village to discuss it. It's alright, alright, let's go to bed early."

After finishing speaking, she was about to lie down, but Aunt Qin pulled her up again, "Girl Lin also said two things."

Seeing his wife's mysterious appearance, Shen Dashan was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Madam Lin found a chestnut forest on Dongshan Mountain."

After hearing this, Shen Dashan sat up suddenly, with a tone of disbelief: "Madam Lin found a chestnut forest in Dongshan?"

"Yes, and it is said that there may be some kind of groundwater on Dongshan Mountain." Mrs. Qin didn't know what groundwater was, but water was a good thing.

"No, I have to talk to the clan elders now."

After speaking, Shen Dashan was about to get out of bed, put on his shoes and run outside, but Aunt Qin grabbed his sleeve again.

"Why are you panicking? I haven't finished my sentence yet."

Aunt Qin glanced at Shen Dashan complainingly, and waited for him to calm down before continuing: "Girl Lin said that she wants us not to tell the villagers, and we will talk about it in two days."

"Yes, yes, her mother and son are the only ones in her house. Since it was Lin Yatou who found out, she must let her store some at home first."

Shen Dashan calmed down completely, and the two began to discuss about buying grain.

"Then I will ask Qingchuan to go to the town to inquire about it tomorrow. I will discuss it with the clan elders."

Shen Dashan has two sons, the older one is called Shen Qingchuan and the younger one is called Shen Qinghe.

Naturally, Nanzhi didn't know what was going on in Lizheng's house.

She is busy making soup in the kitchen.

She also kept some straw mushrooms at home, which happened to be stewed with the stick bones.

She also looked at the oiled paper bag that Manager Wang gave. There were two sesame seed cakes inside. Although they were completely cold, they still made their mothers salivate.

If I had known that there were biscuits in it, she and the dog would have been hungry all the way.

I don't know how long it will take for the soup to be stewed. After eating the biscuits with Gou'er, Nanzhi coaxes him to squat for a while, and waits for the soup to be stewed before waking him up.

Looking at the dazed dog Nanzhi, his heart softened a bit.

She wants to keep the dog white and fat.

In the past, I always thought that if I could skip my husband and have a cute baby directly, now that I really came, my conditions were really worse.

After kissing the dog on the forehead, Nanzhi went back to the kitchen and watched the fire.

Tomorrow she is going to take Aunt Liu to Dongshan to pick chestnuts, so she has to pick some and put them away.

It was almost midnight when the bone soup was finished, so I called the dog to get up and drank a bowl of Nanzhi to cover the casserole tightly, and added some firewood to the small stove before I washed up and went to bed.

It was only five o'clock in the morning when the original owner's biological clock rang, and he didn't feel sleepy at all looking at the gray Tiannanzhi.

After wiping his face and taking a sip, he dug out half a bowl of black noodles in the cloth bag, went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of pimple soup with some warm bone broth.

Looking at the dog eating with gusto, Nanzhi smacked his mouth, is this pimple soup really so delicious?

Why does it look like what the dog eats is not the same as what he eats.

Although she had eaten rough noodles in modern times, the thick noodles at that time were still somewhat different from the black noodles now. The modern ones are just less sifted and the particles are thicker, but they taste delicious, but this The ancient thick noodles tasted a little loud, even if Nanzhi was boiled into pimple soup, it could only be regarded as edible.

It can only be said that I am very hungry, and everything tastes delicious.

After breakfast, Nan Zhi cooked two more sweet potatoes and two more potatoes before locking the door and taking the dog to Aunt Liu's house.

Everyone has to hide the fact that the family has food now. Although there are few families in the village whose conditions are worse than their own, there are very few families who are willing to spend money to buy food.

If other people's homes are eating sweet potatoes and potatoes, and they take out black noodles, it will definitely attract someone's evil thoughts.

It's not that Nan Zhi has a gloomy mind and wants to think of everyone as bad, it's that she has to be more careful in this age, after all, there are only her and the dog in the family.

Aunt Liu also woke up very early. It can be said that she didn't fall asleep all night last night. As long as she thought of new food at home, she couldn't fall asleep excitedly.

As a result, Nanzhi and Gou'er were startled when they saw her.

Aunt Liu had deep dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were bloodshot, as if she hadn't slept for several days.

"Madam Lin is here?" Aunt Liu cheered up when she saw Nan Zhi, greeted the two of them into the courtyard, and hurried to wash her face.

The Shen family members were all eating breakfast, one boiled sweet potato and half a bowl of mushy potato soup.

Shen Dazhu saw Nanzhi and Gou'er and beckoned them to sit down and eat together.

"No, Uncle Shen, we'll eat at home." Nan Zhi refused with a smile.

Who is having a better time now?

How can I take advantage of other people's homes.

Aunt Liu quickly tidied herself up, took two boiled potatoes and followed Nanzhi to Dongshan with a basket on her back.

It was still early, and most people in the village had just woken up, so it was convenient for the three of Nanzhi and the others to go up the mountain without being afraid of meeting anyone.

"Ma'am, there's something I have to tell you." Nanzhi walked ahead to open the way, and said while cutting the weeds on the side of the road.

"Speak, I'll listen."

"I told Uncle Lizheng about the chestnut tree. He will tell the villagers in two days. I think there are a lot of chestnut trees. Life in the village is hard now, and our two families can't swallow so much. Why don't you tell the people in the village to save everyone from starving."

"Okay, let's pick some more in the next two days." Aunt Liu didn't care, after all, Nanzhi said that the chestnut forest was big, even if she told the villagers, there would be a lot of her family, and they would come together at that time I can pick up some more.

The dog didn't speak all the way, just followed behind with a small basket.

He was still reminiscing about the sesame seed cakes last night and the pimple soup that he ate in the morning. It had been a long time since he had eaten such delicious food.

When she arrived in the chestnut forest, even though Aunt Liu was prepared, she was still taken aback.

There are stretches of chestnut trees that can't see the edge, and the ground is covered with fallen thorn balls.

The difference from the scene on the west mountain is not so big.

Nanzhi taught Aunt Liu how to press chestnuts, and the three of them started to work with their heads down.

She wants to take advantage of these two days to pick up more chestnuts and sell them in the town. She plans to buy more grain before the price of grain rises to the point where she can't afford it.

Her family has no land now, and the biggest relationship between her autumn harvest is the difference in grain prices. She doesn't panic when she has grain in her hand. Even if grain prices may drop in the future, she is still willing to stock up enough grain now.
