Chapter 60: Hairy Chestnut
An elderly grandmother walked out of the crowd. She was a relatively authoritative grandmother in the village. She was usually fair and just, and everyone trusted her.
No one could say anything when she presided over such an important matter as eating meat.
She took the carefully cleaned rabbit and began to prepare it with skillful hands.
She first washed the rabbit with clean water, and then evenly applied a thin layer of salt and spices on its body. These were natural seasonings collected by the villagers from the mountains. They were simple but full of flavor.
Then I took out a chopping board and chopped the rabbit into small pieces. There were many people in the team, so the rabbit had to be chopped into small pieces to share.
Put the chopped rabbit into a large iron pot and cover it with a lid.
It was just such a simple process, and everyone watched eagerly, afraid of missing it.
During free time, everyone in the village who has the energy will go for a walk around here.
Liu Caixia and Xiao Lu also ran towards the nearby mountains. They chose a road that no one had ever been to. The woods here were dense, making it much more difficult to walk.
Fortunately, they discovered wild hairy chestnut trees on the road this time, and they were both very excited.
The chestnut tree is very tall and there are not many chestnuts fallen on the ground, so Liu Caixia asked Xiaolu to stand further away.
She kicked the tree trunk hard, then ran away immediately, and some leaves fell from the tree.
He kicked the tree three or four times and watched the chestnuts falling from the tree become fewer and fewer.
There was not much point in kicking the tree, so Liu Caixia asked Xiaolu to take out the gloves she had worn before and put them on, and the two of them started picking chestnuts together again.
Hairy chestnuts need to be shelled, and the thorny outer shell needs to be peeled off to reveal the chestnuts inside.
What is exposed are the chestnuts we usually eat. After they are cooked, peel the shells and eat the fruits inside.
Caixia guessed that no one here knew how to eat this thing, so she could only pick it up and discuss how to tell others.
This cannot be hidden from everyone. After all, they have to peel the shells. If they don't, they won't be able to save much, and they definitely can't eat it all alone.
After Liu Caixia's basket was full, the two of them discussed and took out a sack, the kind that was gray-brown.
This was also very common in ancient times. When someone asked about it, you could explain that you folded it and put it in a basket and brought it out.
When the sack was full, there were still a lot of chestnuts, and there was no choice but to let Xiaolu put them in the space.
When you take them back to peel them, quietly take them out and put them back in after peeling them. Put them in alternately, which will save a lot of space.
When the two of them went back, they didn't dare to go back too early, otherwise it would be difficult to explain this thing, after all, they had walked a very long way.
If people from the village came to pick chestnuts, it would easily arouse suspicion if the two of them moved back and forth too quickly.
On the way back, the two came across a wild pear tree. The pears were not big, and were a bit green and yellow. Liu Caixia picked two, rinsed them with mineral water, and ate them. They were still very sweet, but the taste was a bit rough.
Liu Caixia thought that she must remember this location and bring the villagers to pick the fruits together when the time comes.
The tree was quite big, and there were many pears on it. Liu Caixia picked some, wrapped them in clothes, and took them home to give one to her family first.
Liu Caixia carried Xiaolu on her back and walked back quickly. When they were near the valley, she asked Xiaolu to take out the sack.
Liu Caixia carried a sack and a straw basket, and Xiaolu held a bag of pears in her clothes and walked back slowly.
When Xiaomei saw the two of them coming back, she actually ran over to greet them, "Sister, come back soon and have some porridge."
"Okay, Xiaomei, have you drunk it?"
"I've already drunk it, and I left some porridge for those who didn't come back."
“Is the porridge delicious?”
"It's delicious. I also got a piece of rabbit meat, which is delicious. Each person gets a small piece, and they can drink the broth."
Xiaomei nodded obediently in response, as if she had drunk something delicious.
In fact, it was just a tasteless wild vegetable paste with a rabbit added to it and boiled.
There is such a big pot of water and just one rabbit. How much meat flavor can there be?
"Xiaolu, be good. I'll give you a pear to eat later. It's a very sweet pear."
"Is it that delicious pear? I've eaten it before. My grandma gave it to me. It was delicious..." The child's saliva was about to flow out when he said it was delicious.
Xiaolu, a big kid who has eaten all kinds of delicious food, seemed to think that pears were very delicious.
"Yes, we picked a lot and will give them to you and grandma when we get back."
Liu Caixia put the chestnuts on the ground, and her father asked her to drink the porridge first. "Drink it, I secretly put some seasoning in it and kept it hot for you!"
"Dad, go tell the village chief that we found a hairy chestnut tree this time. Let's see if they know about it. We also found a pear tree on the way back. Let's see if the village chief wants to arrange for someone to pick it tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go talk to the village chief. You and Xiaolu can eat first."
Father Liu did not carry the sack over, but went to find the village chief with a straw basket. The village chief was standing on the other side watching them setting some traps.
"Village Chief Hu, let me show you something. Have you ever eaten it?"
As he said that, he put down the basket and took out the hairy chestnuts to show him. Village Chief Hu didn't seem too surprised when he looked at the hairy chestnuts. It seemed that he knew about this thing.
"We have eaten this before. We also have it in the mountains over there, but it's hard to make and it doesn't taste good!"
"Is this how you all eat it?" Father Liu felt something was not right. These chestnuts can be stewed in soup or cooked in porridge. They are quite delicious.
"Just peel off the outer thorny shell, then peel off the inner shell, take out the fruit and eat it directly..."
As expected, it doesn’t taste very good when eaten raw.
Father Liu knew that they had not yet discovered how to eat this thing deliciously.
He was about to say something when he heard Village Chief Hu continue
"But if you are very hungry, you can still survive. Who cares whether it tastes good or not? Monkeys, squirrels and many other animals in the mountains eat this."
After listening to what Village Chief Hu said, Father Liu explained to him, "Village Chief Hu, this thing can be used to cook porridge or stew soup. It can also be eaten after it is cooked and the thin skin inside is peeled off before eating, and it tastes better!"
When Village Chief Hu heard what Father Liu said, he became interested. "Really? We didn't think that this thing would taste good only after being cooked. We all thought it was a kind of wild fruit and was eaten raw!"
"It must be true. They cooked something delicious. We cooked and ate it all over there."
"Which direction is your tree in? This tree should be quite big. Do you think it would be convenient for you to take the villagers to pick some?"
When Village Chief Hu heard that the food could be cooked and eaten, his eyes lit up. Although he also thought it was edible when he saw it before, it would definitely be a good idea to store more food now that food is scarce.
Now that I heard that it can be cooked and eaten, and it tastes good, I am even more interested.
"Of course we have to take everyone with us. We definitely won't hide anything. My second sister and her friends found out. She just came back, and I asked her to drink some porridge. Then I told you that you can go over there tomorrow and pick some first. There's a pear tree on the way, so we can pick some together!"
"Good good..."
