Knocking on the bamboo pole again, the chestnuts all rolled into the ditch as Su Ziling said. Seeing this, Su's father felt confident and started beating them.

After more than a dozen chestnut trees were harvested, the ground was already covered with thorn balls. The three of them picked up the chestnuts for an hour and a half, but they only picked up half of them. Looking at the chestnuts on the ground and their sacks, they had no choice but to let Su Zizhong deliver the chestnuts. Go down the mountain, then use the oxen to carry it back, then go back and get the sacks.

Su Ziling and the others had already finished picking them up when he arrived. Of course, if they guessed that there were not enough sacks, they would just pick up the chestnuts and pile them together if there were no sacks for the two of them?

In this way, the three of them made two trips each to transport all the chestnuts down the mountain. The sun was about to set. The three of them had been busy all day. Apart from drinking water, they didn't even eat the food they brought with them.

Twenty and others happened to close the stall, and they all rushed home together. When they got home, Su A'nai and the others had poured out the chestnuts they had brought back today and left them to dry on the ground. Su Zizhong led the cow in front and brought back two bags of chestnuts. With one basket on their backs, the three people behind carried two more bags each, for a total of eight bags and one basket on their backs.

Now when all the chestnuts were poured out, they were piled into a small hill in the yard. At first glance, it was almost all shells, with only a few scattered chestnuts falling off. (Cone chestnut diagram)

Seeing so many chestnuts, the whole family was very happy. Su A'nai took a bamboo rake and spread the chestnuts to dry. As she spread them, she said, "There are so many, we can't eat them all ourselves, except for selling them." Yes, I want Er Niu and his teacher to send some as well."

"I remember it all, Grandma. Third Aunt Axiu and the others will never forget it. Tomorrow they will be exposed to the sun for a day and they will be able to shed their shells in the evening. It will be the day after tomorrow when they go to the county seat."

Su A'nai nodded, "By the way, I haven't told you yet. We squeezed the lacquer seeds ourselves last time and squeezed out more than ten kilograms of lacquer oil. We don't know how to make your hot pot base, just solidify it directly." Just put it away."

"It's okay. The original flavor is also delicious. You can make porridge or stew hot dishes."

Su Ziling said and went to the kitchen. It was time to start making dinner. Su Mu had already prepared the staple food, which was brown rice.

There was also a pot of dried bamboo shoots soaked on the side. Su Ziling took it out, added red peppers, stir-fried the meat, and mixed in a bowl of soy flour and boiled a bowl of soy milk. There was also fungus on the side, but Su Ziling didn't use it to stir-fry the meat. , but directly blanch it and eat it cold.

Everyone liked the pickled scallops she made as a side dish or stir-fried with meat. There just wasn't enough food tonight, so Su Ziling fished out some more, cracked two eggs and used them to stir-fry the scallops without any seasoning. Add, after the eggs are fried, add the pandan heads and stir-fry twice before serving.

After the meal, the whole family was full, especially the fried pork with dried bamboo shoots. This was something Su Zizhong didn't set up a stall for during that time.

Dig it back, cut it into slices, blanch it in water and dry it in the sun. Now if you want to eat it, soak it in advance, and then use it for stir-frying or hot pot.

Moreover, if it is fried with red pepper and meat, the aroma will be more abundant. If it is stewed with chicken or duck, I am afraid that the dried bamboo shoots will be full of flavor.

Fungus is relatively rare, and not many are picked up, but they have eaten it many times.

After dinner, it was not yet dark. Everyone was very tired recently. No one moved for a while, they all slumped on the chairs to rest.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of Old Su's house. Su Ziling stood up and shouted toward the door, "Who is it?"

"Sister Ah Qing, it's me, Yuanyuan!"

Hearing Su Wenyuan's milky voice, Su Ziling raised her eyebrows and walked towards the door a little faster.

As soon as the door opened, Liu Guilan was seen standing at the door, holding a vegetable basket in one hand and holding Su Wenyuan with the other.

The moment he saw Su Ziling, Su Wenyuan rushed over, hugged her legs, raised his head, and looked at her with bright eyes, "Sister Ah Qing, you finally opened the door."

Su Ziling pinched his face, looked at Liu Guilan, and said: "Aunt Liu, come in quickly, have you eaten? If not, just eat here. We have just closed the table, warm it up and you can eat it." .”

Liu Guilan smiled and said in a soft voice, "I just came here after eating. Today Ayuan and my mother went for a walk in the mountains and dug some things. I thought of sending some to you. It's not much so I just wanted to taste it." .”
