Chapter 199 The Thorn Ball Is a Chestnut

"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 little uncomfortable to use them as firewood. Our family doesn't usually use this for firewood."

The main reason is that it is too troublesome, and you have to use a shovel to push it into the stove. If you are not careful, you will prick your hand.

Bai Yunxi looked at her in surprise, "You are using this as firewood?"

"That's not true. The main reason is that this thing is so irritating that most people are reluctant to touch it."

Baiyunxi was a little speechless. In other words, no one found 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 going to eat? How can you eat it with so many thorns?"

While talking, even Bai Anyan and the others gathered around. Bai Yunxi looked at their confused 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.

Crack the fruit open with a stone to reveal the fruit inside. "Here, try it. It's a bit crispy and sweet when eaten raw. It doesn't taste very good, but when it's 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 opened it at all.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi was a little 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 on the inside, but the fruit hidden inside the hard shell is very delicious."

Baiyunxi narrated it to his sons, then smashed 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 cook it with salt. You can try it. It's very delicious."

A few 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 eager look, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, wait until your sister-in-law brings the rice. After we eat, we will pick it together."

As she was talking, she 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.
