Chapter 324 323. New Oven

Zhou Qian pondered while picking up a chestnut from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

The chestnuts are ripe to perfection, with not a speck of dust on the shiny brown-red shell. You can just rub it lightly on your clothes and then eat it.

With another bite of the teeth, the shell will crack with a sound of "crack". It will be impossible to dig it out anymore, so you can only pull it with your teeth and gnaw it to reveal the hairy brown old skin inside.

The skin was tightly attached to the yellow flesh and could not be torn off. But as a man, he was not so particular about what he ate, so Zhou Qian ate the skin together...

Although the taste is a little affected, the yellow flesh inside appears to be more chewy, sweet, and particularly refreshing when chewed!

Moreover, there is no strange smell at all! This mutation value is definitely below 5! The more powerful the plant is, the more delicious the fruit is! At this moment, Zhou Qian calculated the market price of food with a mutation value below 5.

Even if the chestnuts were weighed, the weight of one pound would not be less than 30 points! This was in the autumn and winter when there were many species. If there was an ice-type ability to build a freezer to store them, by the time the Chinese New Year came, there would be a market for 80 yuan per pound! So, what Xiaoyu said was right, they did have gold under their knees, and a lot of it...

Zhou Qian found it hard to accept the disappointment of everyone missing out on the treasure, until he asked Huai Yu: "Xiao Yu, will it work if ordinary people kowtow?"

Huaiyu shook his head: "I don't know! But first of all, you have to be as cute and lovable as me, right? Your affinity with plants can't be low!"

Zhou Qian thought about his teammates, including the women, who all walked with a powerful gait and fought with deadly punches, and it was no problem for them to tear up a stainless steel basin! Then he looked at Huaiyu...

And that plant affinity…

never mind.

He chewed the chestnuts numbly, thinking that if his comrades didn't have it, then so be it. As long as no one told anyone, no one would feel any pain or regret.

At this moment, Huaiyu came back and put his hands behind his back in front of Zhou Qian: "Look!"

Zhou Qian was startled for a moment, then stared at the thin chestnut branch with two long leaves in her hand, and was stunned: "Have you grasped the lifeblood of the chestnut tree?"

Huai Yu's eyes widened: "Brother Zhou Qian, have you been secretly buying other books to read behind my back recently? This is a branch of a chestnut tree! A branch with a naturally low mutation value. I can take it home and make it alive through cuttings. It will be delicious and easy to sell without me having to work hard to purify it!"

She said happily, "I just gave them only a little bit of the power to accelerate growth, but it seems like the plants in this wasteland haven't had any good food before, so they got so excited after just a little bit, so is it okay for me to ask for a few more branches?"

She looked at the thin branches full of life in her hands with great joy, and quickly instructed Zhou Qian to find a box and dig some soil. She was about to water the soil thoroughly and stick the branches in!

There is one advantage of mutant plants, which is that this chestnut tree will be excellent without grafting at all——

If things continue like this, maybe one day she can even open a chestnut cake shop!

So rich! ...

Zhou Qian could not understand Huaiyu's happiness.

After all, Zhou Changgong, who was once again in charge of carrying sacks, was not yet worthy of experiencing happiness! The three large sacks were stuffed to the brim, and the corners were almost untieable. This was because the chestnuts were shelled directly on the spot and left under the tree, otherwise another sack would be needed.

There was a new area to explore ahead. Now the car stopped at the last rest area. Zhou Qian rubbed his sore arms and decided to take a day off tomorrow.

Huaiyu was still muttering to the side: "One day is not enough! Two days, two days!"

Even two days might not be enough! Because they didn’t bring such a big pot!

A thousand kilograms of chestnuts!

It takes a lot of time to cook or fry it, otherwise it can't be preserved at all! If such a good thing is wasted, Huaiyu will feel sorry for himself!

"...Didn't you kowtow?" Zhou Qian wondered.

Huaiyu thought for a moment: "Although you stopped me, I was still thinking: I can't finish it tomorrow anyway, it will take two days!"

Zhou Qian thought about the three large sacks in the carriage and could only nod.

What’s more convenient than before is that the new rest area is next to a huge pond, and the flat shore is where they can feel at ease.

After passing the pond and passing the woods ahead, they would be greeted by a brand new wasteland.

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous and expectant.

The next morning, Huaiyu hastily cooked a pot of chestnut porridge and urged Zhou Qian to go dig mud by the pond! "Hurry up! We only have two days, and our task is very tight!"

The pot they brought was too small, and it was unknown how long it would take to process the thousand kilograms of chestnuts, so Huaiyu built a stone oven overnight, planning to cover the gaps with pond mud, and then put the chestnuts in after burning it until it was barely dry.

I don't know if it will work, and I don't know if the chestnuts can be cooked, but let's just try it! Zhou Qian wanted to say that he hadn't finished his porridge yet, but when he saw Huai Yu getting up early in the morning to build a stone kiln, he suddenly became speechless. Okay, let's do it. How can we waste the chestnuts that we got by our own ability?

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He simply found a large basin, rolled up his trousers, stepped on the edge of the pond, and scooped out the silt handful by handful.

I originally wanted to get closer to the pond and maybe catch a couple of fish, but seeing Huai Yu was busy collecting chestnuts, I decided not to mention it.

Although the pond next to this rest area should have been plowed over and over again for safety reasons, the fish that remain in the pond now are either unpalatable or very unpalatable...

But, Huaiyu will be purified!

When this thought flashed through Zhou Qian's mind, he couldn't help but be stunned - he has now become very dependent on his new life, his new sister and his superpowers.

But I have to say, this feeling is not bad.

…

Zhou Qian was rarely sentimental, and Huaiyu was unaware of his twists and turns. At this moment, she was trying to stuff a small stone into the large gap in the stone bread kiln, and she wanted to cover the oven quickly!

Fortunately, although the workmanship is crude, there was no smoke everywhere during the final fire test, so it was safe!

Zhou Qian also breathed a sigh of relief - digging silt was not an easy job at all. He even walked around the pond in the icy water for half a circle before he gathered all the mud he needed.

If he continued to work, he really couldn't help but catch fish! He just saw two, each about 11 or 12 centimeters long! But now that dawn was in sight, he asked curiously, "How long will it take to dry this?"

Huaiyu was also worried: "I don't know, but they are all made of stones, and the gaps are filled with mud. After we light a fire and bake it well, it should be done quickly."

It doesn’t matter if they are not dried or not, as long as her chestnuts are dried thoroughly.

Update 2, good night.
