Chapter 80 Fighting for Food with Mice (1 / 1)



After Jiang Qiandu went back, Fat Brother never came to trouble Yang Xin again.

Su Xinmi has been collecting pigweed recently. When she sees wild hawthorns, wild oranges, and mulberries on the mountain, she picks them and takes them home to dry.

In autumn, when most of the leaves have fallen, you can sometimes still see squirrels.

Loose mouse?

Isn't it possible that you might encounter nuts, namely chestnuts?

Chestnuts have a sweet taste and a soft and chewy texture.

There are also floss, which is also a kind of nut, and you can take it home to eat.

Su Xinmu looked carefully and indeed found them. "Goudan, come here quickly."

There were chestnuts all over the ground in front of her, and her eyes lit up when she saw them.

Goudan thought it was something good, so he brought a group of friends to see it, and smiled, "Sister Su, this is what moles like to eat, do you want to compete with moles for food?"

"Can this be eaten? There are a lot of these every year."

Goudan was extremely disgusted when he saw Su Xinmu looking at her as if she had found a treasure.

"You don't understand. If this thing is delicious, you can't stop eating it." Su Xinmi likes it the most. Her family buys it every autumn.

Su Xin had already started picking up the fruits. Although Goudan had some doubts, he had no choice but to help Su Xin pick up the fruits.

This thing was prickly, and its surface was covered with hard and sharp thorns of different lengths and densely distributed. Goudan threw it away with disgust and asked his younger brother to help pick it up.

Soon Su Xinmo's backpack was full. "Okay, you guys go collect the pig grass first, I'll carry it back and come back later."

She wasn't so stupid as to actually go back and put the things into the space and ask Duobao to check if there were any loose threads nearby.

Mature pineapples grow on trees, so one has to climb trees, but Su Xinmi has weapons with her, so she doesn't need that.

The grains of Northeast pine nuts are relatively large, but the shell is harder. The kernels are milky white, rich in oil, and have a strong pine aroma.

They soon found a few pine trees. There were some pine cones on the ground, but most of them were on the trees. Su Xin bought a pair of shoes and climbed directly up the tree.

There was a rat hole on the tree. The rat was working hard to move something. When it saw Su Xinmi, the rat dropped the rat hole in its hand with a "snap" and ran away quickly with its two little feet.

Su Xinmi smiled and said, "Sorry, little rat, I came to snatch food from you today."

I thought about putting some wild fruits from the space in the hole for it. She has a lot of these things in the space, and Duobao can't sell them all.

Put all the loose cloths in your pockets, and finally move them into the space, then go find Goudan and the others.

I put the remaining chestnuts into a backpack and gave each of the kids a few candies. "I'll go back and prepare these and bring them to you guys to eat."

The kid was much more interested in candy than chestnuts, and didn't take Su Xinmo's words to heart.

I went back and started working, removing the shells from the chestnuts.

I have already thought about how to make it. Chestnuts can be stir-fried with sugar, boiled with water and stewed with chicken. Chestnut roasted chicken is also delicious. You can also make chestnut and red date porridge, which is nutritious and delicious.

Let’s make some sugar-roasted chestnuts today so I can share them with my little brother.

Prepare the ingredients, find the sugar jar and cooking oil.

Prepare the chestnuts, put them in a bowl, add salt, and then wash them.

Next, make the sugar water. Add a little cooking oil to the pot and put in the sugar. It needs a lot of sugar, otherwise it won’t taste good. If someone else were here, they would definitely say that Su Xinmi doesn’t know how to live and she is so reluctant to put in so much sugar.

Melt the sugar until the bubbles turn from large to dense and small, and then turn into the color of sesame oil. Pour in clean water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Pour in the chestnuts, add water to cover them, cover and continue cooking.

When the moisture is almost the same, you can stir-fry it so that each chestnut is coated with sugar liquid. When the moisture is completely dry, you can remove it from the pan.

Su Xinmi tasted one and found it tasted good. "It's delicious."

She took the cans and packed them up, then put two bottles in the cabinet, because she often put the finished things in the cabinet. Now the cabinet was full, and she felt a sense of happiness and accomplishment just looking at it, so she locked the cabinet.

Put all the rest into the space so it will be convenient for her to take them later.

The weather has been getting cooler recently, and autumn has passed. Everyone is not too busy and is preparing for the cat winter.

When Su Xin was foraging for pigweed, she often saw villagers going up the mountain. Some were hunting, and some were collecting firewood. The winter in the Northeast is too cold. If you don't prepare early, it may be too late when winter comes.

So the mountain has been quite lively these days. Since Jiang Yinqiu became a broadcaster, she has been smiling more often and often comes to Su Xinmi to play after get off work.

She had nothing to do today. After eating the chestnuts that Su Xin found, she also prepared to pick some on the mountain. This winter, she had only eaten cabbage, radish and the like, and she wanted to change the taste.

Goudan and his friends also ate chestnuts. They didn’t expect that they were so delicious. He took his younger brothers to the mountains to pick them every day.

But they can't make sugar-roasted chestnuts, and they are reluctant to eat the sugar at home.

Su Xinmo told him other ways to cook chestnuts, and now Goudan also likes to eat chestnuts.

An old lady saw Su Xinmo picking up something and asked curiously, "Su Zhiqing, why do you seem to be picking up these things recently?"

"There are a lot of these every year. The skin is thick and has thorns, and it's hard to clean. No one wants them. I saw Goudan and my kids picking them up. He said they are edible and delicious, and he asked me to make them for him."

The resources on the mountain belong to everyone, not just hers. She didn't mind telling her aunt about the recipe. She had picked so much, and there were plenty of them on the mountain. "Aunt, this is delicious when it's ready. There are many ways to cook it."

"You can make sugar-fried chestnuts, which is a bit wasteful of sugar. You can also boil chestnuts and stew chestnut chicken. Of course, you can also make braised ones. Chestnut braised chicken is also delicious. If you keep it simple, chestnut and red date porridge is also good."

Su Xinmu looked at her dazed auntie and said, "You can eat whatever you want. Just add some when you cook. It's nice to have one more dish."

"Besides, this thing strengthens the spleen and stomach, nourishes the kidneys and strengthens the tendons, stops bleeding and reduces swelling..."

Finally, Su Xinmu gave a warning. "This thing tastes good, but you can't eat too much. Eating too much may cause indigestion."

When the auntie asked Su Xinmi, other aunties in the village also came over curiously and listened attentively.

"Su Zhiqing, how do we do this specifically?" asked an old lady.

Su Xinmu did not hide it and told them the whole method. Of course, she kept the seasoning simple. Even if there was seasoning now, she was reluctant to use it.

Jiang Yinqiu had been picking chestnuts while Su Xinmu was talking. Now all the aunties in the village knew that this was a good thing, so she had to grab it quickly.

After Su Xinmi learned that this thing was edible, the mountain became lively for a while.
