Chapter 9: Picking the chestnuts

"Isn't it going to be harvested in autumn?" Shen Dashan didn't have any confidence in saying this. After all, who knows whether it will rain in more than a month? If it really doesn't flow, I'm afraid that the crops in the fields will die of drought.

"Then you say, if it doesn't rain, the food cannot be collected from the fields, and the food prices rise again, what will we eat together?"

Shen Dashan was speechless because he was blocked. How could he know if it was raining? But if it really didn't rain, the price of grain after the autumn harvest might not be affordable to those who dig food in the fields.

"I want me to tell you, let's listen to Lin Yatou, buy some food first and put it on. Even if it rains later, we will only lose some money. If it doesn't rain, our whole family will not starve to death."

After thinking about it, Shen Dashan nodded, "Tomorrow I will go to discuss with several old tribes in the village. OK, okay, take a shower and go to bed early."

After saying that, he was about to lie down, but he was pulled up by Aunt Qin again, "My Lady Lin said two more things."

Seeing his wife's mysterious appearance, Shen Dashan was speechless for a moment.

"Lin Yatou found a chestnut forest on Dongshan."

After hearing this, Shen Dashan sat up, his tone was a little disbelief: "Did the chestnut forest be found in Dongshan?"

"Yes, and it may be that there may be that groundwater on the East Mountain." Aunt Qin didn't understand what groundwater was, but it was just water, which was a good thing.

"No, I have to talk to the clan elders now."

After saying that, Shen Dashan was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes and ran out, but Aunt Qin pulled her sleeves away again.

"What's going on? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Aunt Qin glanced at Shen Dashan complainingly, and waited for him to calm down before continuing, "My Lady Lin said that she wanted us not to tell the villagers first, and we will talk about it in two days."

"Yes, yes, yes, her family is only the mother and son. Since it was discovered by Lin Yatou, she must let her stay at home first."

Shen Dashan completely calmed down and the two began to discuss buying food.

"Then I'll ask Qingchuan to go to the town to inquire tomorrow. I'll discuss with the clan elders."

Shen Dashan has two sons in total. The older one is called Shen Qingchuan and the younger one is called Shen Qinghe.

Naturally, Nanzhi doesn’t know what happened to Li Zheng’s family.

She was busy stewing soup in the kitchen.

She also left some straw mushrooms at home, which happened to be stewed with sticks.

She also looked at the oil paper bag given by Manager Wang. There were two sesame cakes inside. Although they were already cold, they still caused the mother and the mother to drool.

If I had known that there were Shaobing inside, she and Gou'er would have been hungry all the way.

I don’t know how long it will take for the soup to be stewed. After eating the sesame cake with Gouer, Nanzhi coaxed him to take a look first, and waited for the soup to be stewed before asking him to get up.

Looking at the confused Dog Nanzhi's heart softened a little again.

She wants to raise the dog as white as it is.

I used to think that if I could skip my husband and have a cute baby, now my conditions are really bad.

Kissing the dog's forehead, Nanzhi returned to the kitchen and watched the fire.

Tomorrow she will take Aunt Liu to Dongshan to pick chestnuts, so she has to pick more and put them on.

It was almost midnight after the bone soup was stewed. I called the dog up and drank a bowl of Nanzhi and covered the casserole tightly. I added a few pieces of firewood to the stove before washing and going to bed.

The original owner's biological clock rang at only five o'clock in the morning, and he was not sleepy at all when he looked at the gray Tiannanzhi.

After wiping his face and slapped, he dug half a bowl of black noodles in a cloth bag, went to the kitchen to mix the somewhat warm bone soup and cook a pot of dumpling soup.

Looking at the dog who was eating with relish, Nanzhi smashed it and mouth, is this dumpling soup really so delicious?

Why does it look like the dog eats the same thing as what he eats?

Although she has eaten coarse noodles in modern times, the coarse noodles at that time are still somewhat different from the black noodles now. Modern ones are just sieved less often and the particles are coarser, but they taste fragrant. However, the ancient coarse noodles taste a little louder. Even if the Nanzhi is boiled into a dumpling soup, they can only be considered as being able to eat.

I can only say that I am so hungry that everything tastes delicious.

After breakfast, Nanzhi cooked two sweet potatoes and two potatoes before locking the door and took the dog to Aunt Liu's house.

Everyone has to hide the food at home now. Although there are few families in the village whose conditions are worse than their own, there are very few families who are willing to spend money to buy food now.

If others were gnawing sweet potatoes and taking out the black-dough nest in their own home, it would definitely attract some people's thief.

It’s not that Nanzhi is mentally bleak and wants to think of everyone as bad as it is because of the current year that makes her have to be more careful. After all, she and Gouer are the only ones at home.

Aunt Liu got up very early. It can be said that she didn't fall asleep last night. As long as she thought about the new food at home, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

This caused Nanzhi and Gouer to be shocked when they saw her.

Under Aunt Liu's eyes were a deep dark circle, and his eyes were covered with red bloodshot, which seemed to have not slept for several days.

"Is Girl Lin coming?" Aunt Liu cheered up when she saw Nanzhi, and called the two of them into the yard and hurried to wash her face.

The Shen family was eating breakfast, each of them boiled sweet potatoes and half a bowl of potato soup cooked into a paste.

Shen Dazhu saw Nanzhi and Gou'er and he asked them to sit down and eat together.

"No Uncle Shen, we'll eat at home." Nanzhi refused with a smile.

Who has a better life now?

Where can I take advantage of others?

Aunt Liu quickly cleaned herself up, put two boiled potatoes in her arms, and followed Nanzhi to Dongshan with her back basket.

It's still early now, and most of the villagers have just gotten up, which is just convenient for Nanzhi and the others to drill up the mountain, so they are not afraid of meeting anyone.

"Auntie, I have something to tell you." Nanzhi walked in front to open the road, cutting down the weeds on the roadside.

"Say, I'll listen."

"I told Uncle Li Zheng about the chestnut tree. In two days, he will tell the villagers. I think there are so many chestnut trees. Now the villagers are not having a good life, and our two families can't swallow so much. It's better to tell the villagers that everyone will not go hungry."

"Okay, let's pick up more in the next two days." Aunt Liu didn't care. After all, Nanzhi said that the chestnut forest was big. Even if she told the villagers, there would be many people in the family. She would still pick up some more when they came together.

The dog didn't say anything along the way, just followed behind with a small basket.

He was still savoring the sesame cakes he ate last night and the dumpling soup he ate in the morning. It has been a long time since he had such a delicious thing.

When I arrived at the Chestnut Forest, even Aunt Liu was still shocked even if she was prepared.

The chestnut trees were invisible, and the ground was covered with falling thorn balls.

The difference between the scene from the West Mountain is not an average.

Nanzhi taught Aunt Liu how to suppress Kuanli and the three of them started to work with their heads down.

She wanted to pick up more chestnuts in the past two days to sell them. She planned to buy more grain when the price of grain has not yet risen to afford it.

Her family has no land now, and the biggest relationship between autumn harvest and her is just the difference in grain prices. She is not panic when she has grain. Even if the food price may drop in the future, she is still willing to store enough food first.
