"Mom, don't worry, I'll go pick them with you later."
As Li said that, he saw a few burrs mixed in the fungus.
"Mom, why did you pick up a few burr fruits? It's a bit painful to use them as firewood. Our family usually doesn't use this for firewood."
The main reason is that it's very troublesome, and you have to use a shovel to push it into the stove. If you don't pay attention, your hands will get pricked.
Bai Yunxi looked at her in surprise, "Are you using this as firewood?"
"That's not the case. The main reason is that this thing is so tough that most people are reluctant to touch it."
Baiyunxi was a little speechless, that is to say, no one found out that the food inside was edible?
To be honest, Baiyun Xi really didn't believe it, so he confirmed again, "You really don't know that the food in here is edible?"
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, "What are you eating? How can you eat so many thorns?"
While talking, even Bai Anyan and others gathered around. Bai Yunxi looked at their doubtful eyes, carefully took out a thorn ball and put it on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, and with a click, a few rolled out of it.
Brown fruit.
He smashed the fruit open with a stone to reveal the fruit inside, "Here, try it. It's a bit crunchy and sweet when eaten raw, and the taste is not very good, but when cooked, it tastes better than sweet potatoes."
The few people listened to their mother's explanation and looked at a few chestnuts rolling on the ground in disbelief. They had seen this thing before, and everyone in the village was familiar with it, but no one had eaten it.
Looking at the expressions of several people, Bai Yunxi finally understood. Because this kind of thing is wrapped in two layers of hard shell, especially the outer layer of burrs, there is no place to start.
No one wanted to touch it, so they didn't realize that the fruit inside was edible.
To put it bluntly, no one has ever opened it.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi was a little bit dumbfounded. Is this an unexpected surprise for her?
"This kind of thing is a chestnut, also called a chestnut. In addition to the burrs on the outside, there is also a hard shell inside, but the fruit hidden inside the hard shell is very delicious."
Baiyunxi narrated it to his sons, then broke it open with a stone and let them taste it for themselves.
"This thing can be used not only as a staple food but also as a snack. You can peel it and boil it with salt. You can try it. It's very delicious."
Several people tasted it carefully, and before anyone else could say anything, Mrs. Li couldn't wait to express her position, "Mom, I will pick it with you now. Before others know, let's pick it home quickly and peel it slowly to save money."
It was robbed by everyone."
Seeing Mrs. Li's anxious look, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but laugh,
"Don't worry, wait for your sister-in-law to bring the rice. After we have eaten, we will pick it together."
While he was talking, he saw Mrs. Du carrying a pole, followed by Yaya, and at Yaya's feet, followed by the dog Ruanruan.
"Grandma, it's time to eat."
Yaya ran over happily. After this period of maintenance, the little girl's face finally had flesh, and her hair was much thicker than before.
"Oh, you are so good, run slowly, be careful not to get bumped."
Baiyunxi went up to her, held her in her arms, pinched her little face, and her heart softened when she saw the little girl smiling.
This time, she specially asked Yaya to stay with Du Shi so that mother and daughter could rekindle their relationship.
Du Shi also realized that she owed Yaya, so she combed her hair and braided her hair every day and talked with her.
Yaya also changed from her resistance at the beginning to her current habit. In the past two days, after washing her face every morning, she took a comb and ran to her mother to comb her hair.
