Chapter 169 Picking up mountain products (I)
"Master, I'm not angry anymore. Starting tomorrow, I will help you pick up mountain products. I didn't have the chance to pick up mountain products when I was in Beijing before."
"Then the master chef will be waiting to eat the mountain products picked up by Xiao girl."
"Master chef, just wait. I will definitely pick up lots of mountain products for you to eat."
The next morning, when Lu Xiaoxiao went to cut grass for pigs, she met her second sister on the road. Then she remembered that today was Saturday and she didn't have to go to school, so she went to the foot of the mountain with her second sister to cut grass for pigs.
"Second sister, I plan to go to the mountains to pick up mountain products this afternoon. Do you want to come?"
"Xiaoxiao, I originally wanted to ask you to go pick up mountain products this afternoon. Come over here so I can tell you something."
"What's going on? Why is it so secretive?"
"Hehe... Yesterday at noon, when I went up the mountain with my sister to collect firewood, I found two chestnut trees. The chestnuts on them were ripe. It just so happened that we went to collect them together today. If we were late, I was afraid that the two chestnut trees would be discovered by others."
"Then we should quickly cut the grass for the pigs and send it to the pig farm. Then we can go home, eat dinner and go up the mountain to pick chestnuts."
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished lunch, she heard someone knocking on the gate. She knew it was her second sister without opening the door, so she picked up her backpack and walked towards the gate.
When Lu Xiaoxiao opened the gate, she saw her second sister and her two younger sisters standing at the door, so she said, "I'm ready, let's go now."
After walking for more than half an hour, Lu Xiaoxiao came to the chestnut trees discovered by her second sister and her friends. Looking at the abundant fruits on the trees, she knew that these two chestnut trees had never been discovered by anyone, otherwise the chestnuts on the trees would have been gone long ago.
"Xiaoxiao, come out from under the tree quickly. I'm going to use bamboo to knock the chestnuts off the tree."
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw the thin bamboo in her second sister's hand and then looked at the tree that was more than three meters high, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Even if her second sister used the bamboo pole in her hand to knock the chestnuts off the tree for a year, she might not be able to do so.
"Second sister, you are hammering too slowly. You won't get much even at night. You and your sister should stand further away. I will kick the trunk to see if I can shake the chestnuts off the tree."
"Xiaoxiao, stop joking. This tree is so thick that I can't hug it by myself. I guess it won't move even if you kick the leaves."
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try it? Second sister, just let me try it first. It won't waste too much time."
After hearing this, the second sister did not stop him, but still said, "Xiaoxiao, be careful, don't hurt your foot."
"Don't worry, you and your sister should move away quickly. I'm afraid that the chestnuts falling from the tree will hit you."
At this moment, not only the second sister's mouth twitched, but also her two younger sisters couldn't help but twitch their mouths. How much confidence did she have in her small body to be able to say such words? She was afraid that the chestnuts would fall and hit them.
Lu Xiaoxiao saw that her second sister and the others had left the range of the chestnut tree, so she began to observe the trunk of the chestnut tree with peace of mind.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the not very thick trunk of the chestnut tree. It seemed that she had to control the strength when kicking it, otherwise she might break the tree if she kicked it too hard.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked and stood half a meter away from the tree. Then she took off the backpack on her back and put it on. The gap in the backpack was relatively large so doing so would not affect her vision.
Although Lu Xiaoxiao knew that this was a bit funny, if she didn't do it, she would be pierced like a hedgehog by that small straw hat.
After completing the preparations, Lu Xiaoxiao raised her right leg and kicked the tree trunk with 20% of her strength. The branches and leaves shook, but no chestnuts fell.
After one attempt, Lu Xiaoxiao knew how much force she should use to shake the chestnuts off the tree, so she raised her right foot again and kicked the tree trunk with 40% of the force. This time, the chestnuts on the tree fell down like rain.
After seeing this scene, the second sister and her younger sister stood there in shock with their mouths open.
