Su Nanxi returned carrying a large basket filled with round, dark-colored things that looked like some kind of fruit.
The villagers looked at it but didn't recognize what it was, so they asked a question.
They had seen these things in the mountains before, but they never dared to pick them because the fruit had a layer of thorns on the outside, which were very prickly!
It's not easy to open them; it's easy to prick your hand. Besides, they don't know if these things are edible, so they don't want to bother with them.
Many people don't even know what the fruit inside looks like.
The village chief came over and recognized it, but he was puzzled as to why Su Nanxi would pick up these things. It was such a hassle, and he didn't know how to eat them!
Su Nanxi replied with a smile, "It's not hard work at all. As long as you use the right method, work isn't that tiring! I only spent a little time picking up so many! These are good things, very delicious, and smell amazing! Don't you believe me? In a little while, you're not allowed to drool!"
Grandma Mo took the basket and laughed loudly, "That's right! If our Susu says she can eat it, she can eat it; if she says it's delicious, then it definitely is delicious! Anyone who doesn't believe her will regret it! When has Susu ever lied to you! If you don't believe me, I can eat more, haha, I won't lose out!"
Seeing that Xiao Wu and Xiao Han were also carrying two large baskets, Grandma Mo was so happy that her eyes narrowed.
Su Su is a foodie; this thing looks so good, it must taste delicious!
She may not have tried it, but that doesn't mean others haven't. Since some people have tried it, let's just believe it. Why have so many doubts?
Everyone else gathered around to look and whispered among themselves, but none of them had ever eaten it before, so they all remained skeptical.
Zhao came over and took the basket from Xiao Wu. She trusted Su Nanxi and had no doubts at all. She just asked how to do it.
The others looked around and didn't believe it. That was fine, but they had to help. They should help first, and then they could get a share, whether the food was good or not. If it wasn't good, they didn't have to eat it, but if they didn't work, they wouldn't get any when it was delicious!
So, with a whoosh, all the chestnuts were taken away for processing.
Everyone got excited at the mention of roasting, because in their minds, roasted things were always fragrant and delicious!
This thing called chestnut will be no exception!
"Really? You can peel it and put it in porridge or soup, it's so fragrant and sweet? Wow! Just hearing about it makes my mouth water!"
"It's good to eat, it's nourishing, that's wonderful! Why don't we go and get some more later, no, all of it? This stuff should keep well, we can store it up and eat it when we go to other places!"
"Hey! That's a great idea! Otherwise, it'll just be a waste if we leave it here and nobody knows how to cook it. It'll just end up as compost! Such good stuff, it's such a pity! We don't know how to cook it, we'll just ask the mute girl later and have her teach us!"
"I heard it's very simple, you can learn it in no time! We're not that smart, but we'll put in some effort and we'll definitely learn it! Anyway, we're free for a while, so let's take a few more baskets! Hmm?! What smells so good?"
"It smells like it's coming from over there. They're roasting something over there, could it be roasted chestnuts? Wow! It smells so good! I love this smell! My mouth is watering! Everyone go pick some more later, I feel like there won't be enough to eat!"
The aroma wafting out was so enticing that people gathered around; it was simply too delicious!
Everyone wanted to see how it smelled so good, and whether any special ingredients were added!
It turned out that they just baked it directly, without adding anything else!
hey-hey!
They know how to do this. It's just grilling. As long as you don't add any seasoning, they're very good at it!
If they need to add seasoning, they can't quite get the amount right. After all, how can they have a sense of proportion without practicing dozens of times?
This all-natural processing is too easy for them!
They've finally found a food that even someone with no cooking skills can make!
"Sister-in-law, don't get too close! You should eat less of the grilled food. I asked my brother to cook some for you. It'll smell just as good, and it'll be ready in a little while!"
Su Nanxi said to Qin Shi and helped her to the side.
There were so many people gathered over there, all wanting to squeeze through and take a look. She was afraid that if Qin Shi went over, she might get bumped or knocked over, which would be troublesome.
"Sister-in-law, please sit here for a bit, don't go over there! It's not crowded here, take a rest! Oh, brother's brought it over!"
Just as Su Nanxi finished speaking and was about to go check on how the cooking was going, she turned around and saw Boss Mo carrying a plate over.
Qin smiled sweetly and happily, craning her neck to take a look.
Seeing her anxious, Boss Mo quickened his pace. "Don't rush! It's steaming hot, still burning hot! Let it cool down a bit before you eat it!"
When Qin saw it, she indeed cooked a small plate for her. She was as happy as a child, but then suddenly felt embarrassed that she was cooking for her separately!
Mo said it was nothing, he had specially prepared this for her to eat, and he hadn't asked anyone for help. He had done his job, and no one could say anything to him!
He picked one up, blew on it while chatting with Qin, and finally peeled it open and put it in Qin's mouth.
The two were being all lovey-dovey on the side, so Su Nanxi quickly ran away.
Unfortunately, he bumped into Mo Qinghe as he came out. Mo Qinghe didn't see him and frantically searched everywhere before finally finding him here.
"Honey! Why did you run so fast? Are you alright? Did you bump into anything? Lift your head so I can see, don't move! Ouch! Your forehead is red, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you!"
Without waiting for Su Nanxi's consent or to hear whether it hurt or not, he gently blew on her forehead.
He blew on it a few times, then asked, "Honey, are you feeling better? Does it hurt less?"
Su Nanxi felt both helpless and amused. How could blowing on it make the pain go away? The doctor wouldn't need to prescribe painkillers; he could just have the patient go back and blow on it.
This is just a trick to fool children, and people actually believe it!
However, it warmed my heart and made me very happy. It does have a certain pain-relieving effect!
But Su Nanxi's helpless smile had a different meaning to outsiders!
If you didn't know better, you'd think they were being all lovey-dovey!
oops!
Just hide for a bit. Do you think they can see you?
The village chief also thought the two were developing feelings for each other, so he consciously told everyone not to look, to put away the spiritual water, and not to look at things they shouldn't look at!
If you look around any further, all the food will have been eaten!
Hearing that the food was running out, everyone turned their attention back to it. Who could resist such a sweet and delicious treat!
What's so great about watching other people's lovey-dovey moments? It's better to enjoy a good meal!
"Look what you've done! People have misunderstood!" Su Nanxi scolded.
Mo Qinghe didn't take it to heart. What was there to misunderstand? They were husband and wife, so what was wrong with being intimate?
"You still need to avoid them a bit!"
"Does my wife mean that we can be more intimate by hiding from each other?"
