Dongming Ziyu decided to recuperate in the mountains for a day. After half a month of non-stop driving, they only drank a little water and ate a few mouthfuls of food every day, which made them exhausted.

With water and food, everyone felt relieved and had a rare and good sleep at night.

After having a watery breakfast, everyone started to get water, wash and rinse. They couldn’t even remember the last time they washed clothes or took a shower. Everyone was in high spirits, as if celebrating the New Year.

Two teams were left to guard the camp, while the rest went into the mountains in groups to find food.

The women and children were near the camp, while the strong laborers and the half-grown children were farther away, but they could hear each other when they said hello.

Dongming Ziyu continued to go deep into the mountains with a few capable fighters, including Dong Youliang, Dalang, Dong Dashan from his second aunt's family, eldest brother-in-law Chen Fuxi, Shuan Zhu, and Dong Chunlei's youngest son Dong.

Shi, Zhou Laicai and more than a dozen people.

Shangguan Ruoli carried a basket on his back, took Ling Yue, Wu Lang, followed Qian, Li, Liu, Dayun, Xiaoyun, Dashan's sister-in-law, a few Ya, a few Ni and other children to look for food near the camp.

Wild vegetables, wild fruits, even leaves and grass roots, as long as they can be eaten, are picked into the basket. When there is no food, these are all good.

Shangguan Ruoli pretended to dig wild vegetables, took out the wild vegetables grown in the space and put them in baskets, thinking of ways to take out the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the space field.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar leaf and dug it up with a hoe. It turned out to be a yam.

Ling Yue also knew yam and said happily: "Yam, it's yam!"

Shangguan Ruoli hurriedly pulled her, Si Ya had been to the town at most, where did she know Yam Yao?

Ling Yue immediately realized the loophole and added: "I saw pictures in dad's book. This is a yam, which is edible. It is similar to sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes."

When Qian and the others heard that they were similar to sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, they hurriedly came over to see what yams looked like. After getting to know them, they spread out to look for them and actually found several yams nearby.

Now that we were able to dig a hole, under the cover of Ling Yue, we took the opportunity to take out the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the space together with the vines. We also had to clean the soil from the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and then sprinkle some soil from the mountain.

The soil in space is fertile black soil, which is not available outside, and is very different from the soil on the mountains.

But this is not a solution. If you don’t take it out in large quantities, it won’t be enough for your children. You can’t let the children of Second Aunt’s family, Dayun’s family, and Xiaoyun’s family watch helplessly.

She held on to the tree and rubbed her aching waist. These days she was traveling during the day and going to space to farm at night. This body was so exhausted that she was really tired.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on a tree on the hillside, and she couldn't help but reveal a big smile. It turned out to be a chestnut tree. At this time, the chestnuts were ripe, and there were many chestnut balls hanging on it.

Maybe people here don't know that the fruits inside the thorn balls are edible. There are really a lot of chestnuts on the tree.

The main thing is that there are chestnut trees in the space, both big and small. They can be taken out and mixed in without leaving a trace.

She pointed to the chestnut tree and said, "Look, there are fruits on that tree."

Qian and others followed her fingers and saw fruits on a tall tree.

With the wild pear in front, everyone tasted the sweetness and smiled, but when they saw that the fruit was a hard burr ball, they were all disappointed.

Mrs. Sun mocked: "Brother and sister, how can you eat this thing? You are really capable, you think you can eat anything!"

Ever since Shangguan Ruoli showed his medical skills, he has become the leader in the limelight. Everyone respects and compliments him, and he has become the leader among women.

Her mother-in-law also changed her attitude towards her. She used to think she was not worthy of the fourth child. Although she would not treat her harshly, she was also cold and indifferent. But now it is better. She not only takes a high look at her, but also compares her two sisters-in-law, Dayun and Xiaoyun.

good.

This made Sun, who was accustomed to bullying his cowardly original body, very uncomfortable. Now that he had found an opportunity, he couldn't help but sneer at him.

Every time Ms. Sun was mean-mouthed, Ms. Qian would scold her, but this time, Ms. Qian also looked up at Shangguan Ruoli in the tree with suspicion.

A few outspoken children didn't believe it, and they all said, "How can you eat this? It hurts your hands to hold it."

"Like a little hedgehog, rolled into a ball and unable to eat."

"Eat it after it's cooked? Maybe it won't be hard after it's cooked."

"Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt, is it cooked to eat?"

Shangguan Ruoli was on the tree and heard their discussion. He found a few cracked chestnuts and threw them down. He said loudly: "Did you see the brown seeds inside? Peel off the brown skin and eat the white ones inside."

The seeds are very sweet and very hungry. They can also be ground into powder to make snacks. I remember eating chestnut cake."

Ling Yue hurriedly cooperated with her mother, picked up a stone, gently smashed the cracked chestnut shell, peeled the chestnut out, bit it with her small teeth, and peeled off the skin, revealing the beige chestnut.

Just as he was about to put the chestnuts into his mouth, Mr. Qian snatched them away and said, "I, the old woman, will eat it first. If nothing goes wrong, you can eat it later."

Saying that, he stuffed it into his mouth.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on her mouth, waiting expectantly for her comment.

Qian chewed it twice and his eyes lit up, "It's as sweet as a sweet potato."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "I have studied medicine and am familiar with various medicinal plants. I know best whether they can be eaten and whether they taste good."

The second aunt immediately cheered, "Yes, the fourth man's family is a doctor. If the doctor says it can be eaten, it must be eaten!"

As he said that, he stepped on a thorny ball with his feet, rubbed it hard, and the thorny ball opened. He didn't mind it being dirty, so he picked up a chestnut, bit it, and started peeling it.

Others thought it was reasonable and immediately started to eat it. When they tasted it, they all said it was delicious.

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "After a while, throw it into the fire and roast it, and the hard shell on the outside will crack by itself. The smell is as tempting as the roasted sweet potato."

People other than the owner have also eaten the sweet potatoes that Dongming Ziyu dug out on the road. The sweet taste is still unforgettable to them.

A tin of chestnuts and sweet potatoes are as sweet as sweet potatoes, and they both come alive.

Shangguan Ruoli started to pick chestnuts. This chestnut tree was quite tall and covered the sky and the sun. She put a lot of chestnuts into it.

By noon, everyone had gained a lot and returned to the camp with full baskets on their backs.

Ling Yue, Daya and the others threw the chestnut balls into the fire. After a while, they heard a cracking sound, and after a while, the fragrance wafted out.

Use a wooden stick to pull it out, blow the ash on it, and scratch it at the opening, the fragrance will be even greater.

"Smells!" Wulang looked at it with his mouth watering.

Ling Yue smiled fondly and stuffed the chestnut into his mouth.

Wulang's big eyes rolled, he tasted it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "It's delicious! Even better than sweet potatoes!"

Many children also ate it, and they all became happy and jumped up and down, as if they had tasted delicious food in the world.

Pleasant chatter and laughter could be heard in the distance, and Dongming Ziyu came back with the men in great excitement.
