The sugar Li Heng used in cooking before was bought from the shop at the foot of the mountain.

I don’t know if it’s because the sugar-making process is not perfect enough, or if it’s a problem with the raw materials.

The sugar Li Heng bought was not like the crystal clear white sugar commonly used on Earth. Instead, it was slightly yellowish. It was obvious that the impurities had not been removed.

With this violet fruit, Li Heng planned to plant a few acres of land when he returned, and then figure out how to use them to refine white sugar without impurities.

Thinking of this, Li Heng turned around and asked, "Xiaoxiao, how many violet fruits have you dug in total?"

"I don't know how much I dug, but it was enough to feed me for a long time."

As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand, her ring began to drop violet fruits on the grass.

One after another, they continued to pile up, and finally piled up into a hill that was much taller than her.

"Okay, put it away."

Li Heng took a quick look and found that most violet fruits contained seeds, which were more than enough for him to do experiments.

"We have been out for two days, and now we have caught a lot of Bloodtusked Wild Boars. It is time to return to the sect."

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and there are some unexpected gains. There are still several big bosses on Xiaochu Peak. If we don't go back, they are afraid that they will come out to find Li Heng.

The others followed Li Heng out for no purpose at all. They just wanted to eat and drink. Naturally, Li Heng went wherever he said he wanted to go.

But when he went back, Li Heng didn't intend to go back the same way. That would be too boring.

If you choose a new route, you might gain more.

No one knows how many surprises are hidden in an unexplored primeval forest like this.

After making up his mind, Li Heng led the girls to turn a 90-degree turn, and then walked forward for several miles before heading towards the Tiandao Sect.

Everyone was talking and laughing along the way, so happy.

Until Lu Xiaoxiao, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly screamed.

"Ouch!"

Li Heng, who was communicating with Su Lingxuan, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with an unhappy expression, wondering what she was up to.

Everyone was attracted by the deer's little scream, and saw that she was shrinking her neck and reaching out to grab something.

It turned out that just now, when Lu Xiaoxiao was passing under a big tree, she didn't pay attention to the top of her head. Something seemed to fall from the branch and hit her on the head.

After the thing fell down, it seemed as if it was growing on her head. She couldn't shake it off, so she had to pick it off with her hands.

"It's so unlucky that you can get hit by this crap wherever you go."

Lu Xiaoxiao was holding a small green ball covered with spikes, which looked like a mutated sea urchin, and he wanted to throw it away as if he was angry.

"Wait, don't throw it away yet."

After Li Heng saw the thorn ball in Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, he felt it looked familiar and stopped her.

"Brother Li Heng, you won't tell me that this thing can be eaten, right?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was very obedient and handed the thorny ball to Li Hengdao. She didn't understand how to eat this little ball with thorns all over it. Wouldn't it prick her mouth?

"Xiao Xiao, you are right, this thing is really edible."

Li Heng recognized that the thing that hit the little head was a chestnut, and there happened to be a tall chestnut tree above their heads.

Looking up, I found densely packed chestnuts on the branches, hidden under the leaves.

Li Hengguang was chatting with Su Lingxuan. If Lu Xiaoxiao hadn't been hit, they might have missed this delicious nut.

"Junior Brother Li, are you kidding me? Is it really edible?"

Su Lingxuan had never eaten chestnuts at first glance. Li Heng felt that his childhood without eating chestnuts was incomplete.

"Of course, but the one I'm holding isn't fully ripe yet, so I can't eat it yet."

Li Heng answered Su Lingxuan while looking up at the chestnuts hanging on the branches.

Many chestnuts on the trees have turned yellow, which is a sign of their maturity.

The outermost, spiky shell of the chestnut has cracked open, revealing the fruit inside.

Li Heng picked up a stone and threw it at a yellow thorn ball.

With a "pop", the spiked ball fell to the grass.

"Well, when I say something edible, I mean its fruit, not the spikes on the outside!"

Li Heng broke open the thorn ball, held up a chestnut with a maroon shell, raised it, and said to everyone.

After peeling off this second outer shell, the white fruit inside is finally revealed.

"Senior sister, want to try one? Fresh chestnuts are crispy and sweet, so delicious."

Li Heng handed a peeled chestnut to Su Lingxuan's mouth, wanting to feed her.

"Thank you, junior brother."

Su Lingxuan hesitated for a moment and did not directly take the chestnut from Li Heng's hand with her mouth. It was really shameful for a member of the opposite sex to feed her food in such a large public.

"Sister, you are too polite."

Li Heng retracted his arm with some disappointment. Senior Sister Lingxuan was too shy, and she didn't even dare to eat anything he fed her.

After taking the chestnut with her hand, she did not doubt Li Heng's words and took a shallow bite. The texture of the chestnut was a bit firm and required a little force to chew it.

But as Li Heng said, it tastes very sweet.

"Little brother Li Heng, look here, ah~"

After Jiang Mei saw the interaction between Li Heng and Su Lingxuan, she also came over, opened her mouth wide, pointed at the chestnut in Li Heng's hand, and then pointed at her own mouth.

The meaning was obvious, she wanted Li Heng to peel it off and feed it to her.

"And there's me, ah, ah~"

Miss Ruyan imitated Jiang Mei and wanted Li Heng to feed her.

"It's a beautiful idea and you can do it yourself."

Li Heng knew that the two of them were joking on purpose, so he didn't pay much attention to them and directly put the shelled chestnuts into their hands.

There was no other way, Jiang Mei and the two had no choice but to take matters into their own hands. Why didn't they have a junior brother who doted on them?

As for Lu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Chi, they had already peeled one and ate it without Li Heng saying a word. They never lag behind when it comes to eating.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious. Brother Li Heng, let's pick more and take them home to eat?"

Chestnuts are not as sweet as violets, and you will feel tired after eating a few. They can be eaten as snacks, just like melon seeds.

"No problem. If you still want to eat, pick more. I thought of a snack made from chestnuts. I will make them for you to try later."

Although chestnuts taste good when eaten raw, Li Heng still prefers to eat them cooked, so he remembered the sugar-roasted chestnuts he used to eat.

After the division of labor, the girls finished eating the chestnuts in their hands and began to pick the chestnuts hanging on the trees.

There is not just one chestnut tree here, but a forest, so everyone chooses a tree.

Li Heng didn't pick chestnuts. He also needed to prepare some ingredients for roasting chestnuts with sugar, such as bean stones.

Pisolite is a small stone about the same shape and size as a soybean, which can be found in streams or some lakes.
