Chapter 445 The harvest is certainly rich
Qiao Xuan and others used wooden sticks to push away fallen leaves and weeds, and picked up the shiny black and purple chestnuts into the basket.
Those chestnuts still wrapped in the thorny bags were smashed open with stones and the chestnuts inside were taken out.
There is a large area here and a lot of things have fallen. They only need to search and pick up those on the ground without looking at those on the trees.
There are many of them on the trees, and the branches are covered with dark green and light green thorns. You just need to climb up the tree and shake the branches, and they will fall down with a crackling sound.
Of course, people cannot stand under the tree at this time, otherwise their head and body will be covered with lumps, which is very painful!
Yang Xiaoni and Shao Sanlang are indeed a pair of foodies. They cracked the chestnut shells, picked up the chestnuts and ate them at the same time.
Peel off the outer black and purple hard shell of fresh chestnuts, and then peel off the inner layer of skin that is close to the kernel. When you put the light yellow chestnut into your mouth, it is juicy, crispy and sweet, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.
Everyone stayed in this valley from the beginning to the end, and never moved.
The harvest is certainly rich.
The four big bags were each half filled, and it looked like there were nearly two hundred kilograms.
If several people share the food and each takes some, it won't be a problem to take it home safely.
"There are still a lot of chestnuts on the tree. Let's come back in seven or eight days! It would be a shame not to take so many chestnuts back with us!"
"Yes, let's come again next time!"
What everyone is most concerned about is what delicious things can be made with chestnuts?
Of course there are many delicious things. Qiao Xuan counted them one by one with a smile on her fingers: "Fresh chestnuts are delicious when stir-fried, stewed, or steamed. Sugar-fried chestnuts are especially fragrant. After drying, they have another taste. You can stew chicken with chestnuts, roast spareribs with chestnuts, braised lamb with chestnuts, braised pork with chestnuts, etc. You can also cook porridge, make stuffing for dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, grind chestnuts into powder, and make chestnut cakes and chestnut steamed bread. Anyway, this is a good thing!"
Everyone was looking forward to it.
"Hey, let's try them all when we get back. I'm already drooling just by listening to them!"
“I want to eat it too!”
"Fifth brother and sister-in-law, you tell us what to do. We will do the physical work. We will never let you get tired!"
“Haha, that’s right!”
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Sure, fresh chestnuts and yam are delicious when fried together, and they are also delicious when steamed in a pot. Let's try it tonight!"
Everyone smiled and said yes.
Shao Xiaoqi said with regret: "It's a pity that it's late now. I don't know if we will encounter any game on the road. It will be more fragrant if we stir-fry the meat and chestnuts together."
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, these chestnuts are better for cooking after they are dried! It will be the same if you cook them later."
When they got home, everyone poured all the chestnuts into a large winnowing basket and stored it in an empty room. The next day when the sun was still out, they moved it out to the yard to dry in the sun.
Now the yard is very spacious and clean, and it is very convenient to dry things.
We picked some chestnuts, boiled them in water, and peeled off the shells. The chestnut aroma hit our noses directly. They were soft, soft, delicate and sweet when we took a bite. Everyone loved it.
Fang peeled chestnuts for her grandson and granddaughter and said with a smile, "You are so lucky. There are many good things in the mountains, but not everyone can find them. We are the luckiest! There are so many chestnuts, how can we eat them all!"
Yang Xiaoni smiled and said, "Mom, we can finish it all. My fifth sister-in-law said that chestnuts can be used to make many delicious things! They are delicious when boiled, used in dishes and porridge, and can also be ground into powder to make cakes!"
