Chapter 50 Entering the Mountain (Part [-])
Chapter 50 Entering the Mountain (Second Update)
Sun Erhu's dark face turned red again, and he turned his head away.

Sun Yubao couldn't help laughing, and patted Jinxi on the head: "Niece, big feet are easy to walk, so let's go!"

Just like that, after breakfast, Sun Yubao, Sun Erhu, and Jin Xi simply packed up, took the necessary things, entered the valley behind the village, and headed for the hill to the north.

Along the way, the scenery that Jin Xi saw made her constantly sigh, the scenery in the deep mountains and old forests is really incomparable with the nearby mountains and sloping forests outside.

The further up the mountain, the rougher the road and the dimmer the light.On the side of the road are some unknown trees, grasses, flowers and so on that Jin Xi has never seen before.

The old maple tree that several people can't hold together, the small bunker-like bird's nest on the treetop, and the entangled vines like spider webs.

From the grass on both sides of the road, one or two wild rabbits looking for food occasionally sprang out. At this time, Sun Erhu would untie the bow and arrow from his waist, shoot away with one arrow, and nail a rabbit firmly. The others fled in panic.

"Er Hu, your archery skills are becoming more and more accurate!" Sun Yubao panted, watching Sun Erhu draw his bow, he looked envious, and Jin Xi also looked admiring.

Qinya's vision was right, Sun Erhu was indeed extremely capable.

Sun Erhu pulled out the arrow nailed to the rabbit's leg, put the rabbit into the mesh bag, and said: "You will be amazed if you see Wending's archery skills!"

"Why, his archery skills are better than yours? You know, you have been making a living in this mountain nest since you wore open crotch pants. No matter what, Wen Ding grew up outside the mountain. I didn't see it with my own eyes. I really don't believe it. !" Sun Yubao hooked Sun Erhu's shoulder, joking with a smile.

They have been joking and talking unscrupulously since they were young, and it can be said that it has become a habit.But now, Jin Xi is just a few steps away from them.

Sun Erhu's face turned red immediately, and Sun Yubao also realized that he shouldn't have said the word 'open crotch pants', and his niece was already ten years old, not a milk baby.

Sun Yubao corrected his posture, coughed dryly, and hurriedly found a topic to divert the embarrassment just now.Jin Xi pretended to admire the wild flowers on the roadside, and pretended not to hear what they said, holding back her laughter, almost hurting internally.

"Xi'er, look at that!" Sun Yubao pointed to the front of the road and shouted excitedly to Jin Xi.

Jin Xi followed his guidance and looked over, the corners of her lips curled up happily.

In the middle of the road ahead, there is a yellow-brown pine tree squatting, with its tail as big as an umbrella raised, a pair of small eyes, and a pine cone in its small paws, gnawing on it.

Jin Xi's joyful mood temporarily made her ignore the fatigue on her body.

Listening to what Sun Erhu and Sun Yubao said along the way, Jinxi guessed that Sun Erhu and the others probably didn't come often to the deep mountains in the north, the roads in the mountains are rugged and hard to distinguish, and it's easy to get lost if you don't get lost.Fortunately, the two grew up in the mountains and were no strangers to mountains. With the marks left by Wending along the way, the three of them quickly climbed to the top of the mountain in the north. Behind the stone, I finally found the clump of chestnut trees that Wending mentioned, covered with large and small thorn balls.

The three of them brought a guy who specializes in breaking thorn balls. Immediately, Sun Yubao rolled up his sleeves and knocked off those thorn balls one by one with a stick, and Sun Erhu started breaking the balls on the spot.

"Xi'er, let us do [-]% of these rough jobs, you can sit and rest!" Sun Erhu took care of Jin Xi.

Jin Xi is full of excitement, how can she sit still?
"Then I'll pack the bag!" Jin Xi said, squatting beside Sun Erhu, picked up his broken chestnuts one by one, and put them into the bag he brought.

"Xi'er, don't you see that you love chestnuts so much? We mountain people eat chestnuts every year, and we're so tired of eating chestnuts!" Sun Erhu spoke and worked well.

"It's not that I eat it, it's that I plan to sell it!" Jin Xi said with a smile.

"Sell?" Sun Erhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "These dry goods are not very valuable. I brought those chestnuts to the town last time, and they only sold for a few tens of pennies!"

"The ones that Uncle Erhu sells are directly picked. My chestnuts are going to be sold as sugar-fried chestnuts!" Jin Xi didn't intend to hide it from them. One thing, it would be even better if they could be won over to join the group.

"All the chestnuts in this clump have been knocked down. I guess it would be good to have a dozen catties. You have to use them to make fried chestnuts. How much sugar will you consume? The money you get from the sale is not enough to buy the sugar. !” said Sun Yubao.

"It doesn't have to be sugar, I see that there are a lot of beehives in the woods outside the village!" Jin Xi said.

"That's right, why didn't I remember it?" Sun Yubao patted his head: "It's better that Xi'er has a good brain, and your uncle Erhu is the best at making beehives. Wrap it on him, and I promise to scrape it for you. Lots of honey!"

Sun Erhu grinned and smiled honestly: "It can't be said that he is good at anything, but he has been doing it since he was a child, and he is familiar with it."

"Really? Thank you so much, Uncle Erhu. When I make candied chestnuts, we will share the money when I sell it." Jin Xi said excitedly and earnestly.

Sun Erhu smiled, lowered his head and continued to stab the ball.

The three of them were talking while they were busy, the sun slowly rose to the top of their heads, and after a while, it turned to the west again and continued to sink.The three people here are also very busy, really don't underestimate the place Wending found, a clump of chestnut trees, broken chestnuts, actually put the half-person-high linen bag that Jin Xi and the others brought. I took half a bag.

It is estimated that this is the last batch of chestnuts picked this year, and the next time will have to wait until next year.

The three of them packed up their things and went down the mountain the same way.

Sun Erhu acted swiftly and resolutely, and said he would dig out Jinxi's beehives, so he really didn't stop for a while.In the evening, when the fire was cooking for dinner, a few treated large honeycombs were brought in.

"Xi'er, when you are ready to sell the fried chestnuts in the town, just let me know. I happen to be going to the mountains these two days, so I can bring you some to sell!" Sun Erhu handed over the honeycomb to Jin At the time of Xi, said.

"Then I'll thank Uncle Erhu first. If my mother-in-law nods, I'd like to go out to the mountains with you!"

"Well, I'm a rough man. I'm good at hunting, but I'm not good at doing business. It's good for Xi'er to go with me, and I'll call Yubao at that time. Let's go to Wending to play tricks!" Sun Erhu said.

Jin Xi and Sun Yubao returned home with half a sack of chestnuts, and naturally told Ga Po and Sun Yuxia about their plans.

Gapo and the others smiled and shook their heads. According to the cognition of the people in the mountains, don't they just pick chestnuts and eat them directly as snacks?No matter how bad it is, dry it and grind it into chestnut powder, mix it with water and drink it, and it can also be used to satisfy hunger.Of course, they also heard that chestnuts and chicken would be stewed together in restaurants in the town outside, but no one thought of frying them with sugar.
