He then carried a bamboo basket, a sack, and a sickle and went out.
Deng Qingling walked from the back mountain to the main mountain and saw several villagers picking chestnuts, persimmons and wood ear mushrooms.
Unexpectedly, everyone arrived quite early.
Yes, the early bird catches the worm. If you go out too late, you won’t be able to pick up a single feather because everything has been picked up by others.
Deng Qingling stopped when she saw that there was no one around, and took out a bun from the space to eat. She ate two buns and a cup of milk tea in a row, and then stuffed the garbage back into the space.
Deng Qingling, who was well fed and satisfied, was full of energy. She cut a bamboo on the road, put it in the space, and then walked directly into the depths of the mountains to the place where she picked chestnuts in previous years.
Deng Qingling walked to a place not far from the chestnut tree, looked up and saw that the tree was full of chestnut balls hanging.
There were two or three mountain squirrels on the tree branches, chewing chestnuts.
When they heard the sound of humans approaching, the little squirrels jumped around on the branches and disappeared from sight in an instant.
After putting down the backpack, Deng Qingling took out the bamboo in the space, walked under the tree, and picked chestnuts, hitting one side and the other.
Soon, chestnut balls fell all over the ground.
Seeing that there were only a few chestnuts left on the tree, Deng Qingling put the bamboo back into the space.
I took out the sickle from the backpack and piled the chestnuts on the ground together. It took me about ten minutes to finish picking them up.
Then squat down and use a sickle to dig open the chestnut balls. When you get tired of squatting, stand up and rub the chestnuts with your feet. With a little force, the chestnut shells will be rubbed open, revealing the chestnuts inside.
After half an hour, all the chestnuts on the ground had been rubbed.
Deng Qingling put all the chestnuts into the backpack and left.
She didn't want the chestnut shells. Although they were very useful for burning firewood, she had two little kids at home and was afraid they would play with them when the adults weren't paying attention and might prick someone.
After all, children aged two or three are curious about everything and want to play with everything.
Seeing that it was still early, Deng Qingling found a place on the mountain, dug a trap, and dropped two drops of diluted spiritual spring water into it to lure small animals.
The spiritual spring water was indeed very useful. In just a few minutes, a pheasant and two rabbits rushed in regardless of the danger.
