Chapter 61: The abacus is crackling



Chu Yue took out the work gloves, one big pair and one small pair.

"Yuanbao, put on your gloves before picking chestnuts."

"good."

Lu Yuanbao ran over to Chu Yue and put on his gloves obediently.

All around were chestnuts, some in their prickly shells that had fallen out when they hit the ground, among the fallen leaves.

They are all over the ground, just pick them up.

Lu Yuanbao had never seen so many... so many... he couldn’t pick them all up, he simply couldn’t pick them all up.

In his dark eyes, there was a burning determination. The chestnuts were so delicious and could fill his stomach, so he had to pick them all up!

When Chu Yue looked over, she saw Lu Yuanbao already holding his small bamboo basket, immersed in the great cause of picking chestnuts.

"Yuanbao, you pick up chestnuts here. I'll go check out the surrounding area. Don't go too far."

"good!"

Lu Yuanbao spoke to Chu Yue without even raising his head, and his voice became much louder.

Chu Yue walked in the middle of the mountains, and as she walked, she put some plants into the spiritual treasure space, such as small chestnut tree seedlings, alpine shrubs that she had never seen before, and some red wild fruits.

As long as Lingbao Space has these things, you don't have to go up the mountain to eat oil chestnuts in the future, and you don't have to wait for the season. You can eat it whenever you want~

While patrolling the mountains, Chu Yue saw a yellow vine wrapped around one of the trees, which was different in color from the surrounding dead branches.

It is brownish yellow, a little tender, and can be broken with a gentle pinch. (Picture)

This attracted Chu Yue's attention, and she followed the yellow vines down to search, all the way to the ground.

The roots of the vine are in the soil.

At this time, the hoe Chu Yue brought came in handy. She dug the soil with quick movements. Starting from a depth of about ten centimeters, the yellow vines gradually grew larger, almost as thick as sugarcane.

If you look closely, this is yam.

And it’s wild yam!

Wild yams are not only round, but also flat, and some can be as thick as an arm.

The edible part of yam is the roots, which are buried deep in the ground, many as deep as one or two meters.

Chu Yue dug down little by little, and after a while, the whole yam came out. It was thick and long, actually half a meter long.

Moreover, yams grow in groups. Finding one means there will be a large area of ​​yams around it. Just follow the yellow vines on the ground and look down. Follow the guide!

In this way.

Lu Yuanbao was immersed in picking chestnuts, and Chu Yue was immersed in digging yams.

Pick up and pick up. Dig and dig.

In a blink of an eye, the morning passed.

Chu Yue's stomach rumbled and she realized it was time for lunch.

Her hands were dirty from digging yam, and her clothes and pants were dirty, all covered with yellow mud.

When Chu Yue walked in front of Lu Yuanbao carrying a bamboo basket of yam, Lu Yuanbao was startled.

Even when they first met, Chu Yue was clean.

Lu Yuanbao blinked his eyes. "Did you fall into the mountains? Why are you so dirty?"

"No, I dug some good stuff." Chu Yue showed Lu Yuanbao the yam in the bamboo basket. "This is wild yam. It can not only be used for cooking, but also as medicine. It's a good thing."

Lu Yuanbao was stunned when he heard this, but since Chu Yue said it was a good thing, he believed it.

“Can that be sold for money?”

"Of course. We can't finish all of this if we just eat it. We can sell it at the market someday and make a lot of money."

When Lu Yuanbao heard that he could sell it for money, he became even more excited, "I want to go dig it too!"

"Okay, but let's have lunch first."

Chu Yue agreed.

She took out the kettle, washed her hands briefly, found a stone to sit on, and then started a small fire. She threw some chestnuts that Lu Yuanbao had picked up into the fire to roast, and then took out two steamed buns.

The steamed bun is cut in the middle to become steamed bun slices.

The steamed bread slices are gently toasted over the fire for a few dozen seconds, becoming hot and still crispy on the surface.

Chu Yue not only brought steamed buns, but also fried eggs. She put the fried eggs in the middle of the hot steamed bun slices, and a Chinese hamburger was ready.

She and Lu Yuanbao each had one. When they took a bite, they not only tasted the crispiness of the steamed bread slices, but also the fragrant poached eggs. It was fragrant and delicious.

Lu Yuanbao had never seen anyone eat like this before, so he ate two in one go, licking his lips with satisfaction.

By the time we finished eating the steamed buns with the poached eggs, the chestnuts in the fire were crackling and cooked.

Eating roasted chestnuts and crispy persimmons became an after-meal snack.

After the two of them had lunch, Chu Yue wanted Lu Yuanbao to rest for a while, but Lu Yuanbao couldn't sit still and was thinking about digging wild yams to make money.

Chu Yue really had no idea what to do with this child. After putting out the fire with water, she took Lu Yuanbao to the place where they were digging yam and handed him the small hoe.

"Yuanbao, this is wild yam..." Chu Yue gave Lu Yuanbao the method of finding wild yam and reminded him, "If you want to dig, dig. If you want to rest, rest. Don't be stubborn."

Chu Yue said this because she still had to go up the mountain.

Continue going up to the top of the mountain, which is not suitable for Lu Yuanbao, a child alone.

Chu Yue instructed, "Wait here for me to come back."

"Okay, I'll stay here and I won't run around."

After a morning, Lu Yuanbao had gotten used to it. He knew that following Chu Yue up the mountain would slow down her progress and force Chu Yue to pay more attention to taking care of him.

So he did whatever Chu Yue said and was very sensible and obedient.

Chu Yue put aside the morning's harvest, emptied the bamboo backpack and continued to climb the mountain. The mountain road became steeper and more rugged, but fortunately it was not difficult for Chu Yue.

After walking for about twenty minutes, she finally reached her destination.

It’s a pine tree.

The coniferous pine trees all grow on high and cold mountains.

Chu Yue had already seen it when she was at the foot of the mountain. She was aiming at the pine cones on the top of the pine tree.

Because pine nuts grow inside pine cones.

Pine nuts have always been a valuable commodity due to the difficulty of picking and processing, and can definitely be sold at a good price.

Chu Yue's little abacus in her mind was clattering.

The pine trees were taller than the chestnut trees and stood straight and bare.

Because there was no one around, Chu Yue directly took out a pair of tree climbing spikes from the spiritual treasure space, put them on her feet and tied them around her knees. The next moment, she was already on the tree.

Pine cones grow on the tops of pine trees. Chu Yue climbed more than ten meters in one breath.

She sat on the fork of a pine tree, on the top of a mountain, and could see the vast expanse of lofty mountains and lush green hills. (Photo)

Because of the special climate in the southwest, even in winter, it is still green and full of vitality.

Chu Yue sighed once again, what a wonderful world this is.

She took out her machete and chopped at the top of the pine tree. A pine cone fell down with a crash.
