Su Yunluo nodded, his eyes fixed on the tree.

"Are there any chestnuts there?" Soon, she found the chestnuts left on the trees in autumn.

Eighteen leaped to the chestnut tree and found the chestnut she had discovered.

But soon, Shiba found a lot of chestnuts that had opened their shells but had not fallen off.

When the children heard that there were chestnuts on the tree, they all climbed up the tree to pick them.

The girls were looking up under the tree.

After some effort, I actually picked a small cloth bag, about five or six pounds.

And this only found a small part of the branches of the tree.

Su Yunluo took everyone back with satisfaction.

"Let's cook a pot first and try it to see if it tastes good."

Su Yunluo likes eating chestnuts the most.

While speaking, he was already eating raw chestnuts.

Sweet and crispy, really delicious.

After eating the raw chestnuts for a while, the chestnuts in the pot were cooked.

Su Yunluo deliberately asked the chestnuts to cook for a while longer, so that the water in the pot would boil away, and then put in a little pork and sugar, stir-frying for a few times to completely dry out the moisture in the chestnuts and let the pork and sugar penetrate into the chestnuts.

"It's ready, take it out of the pot."

I took a chestnut first and peeled it gently at the cut. The smooth and soft flesh of the chestnut was peeled out without any skin attached.

Su Yunluo took one pill.

Delicious, so delicious!

“I would call it the best chestnut I have ever tasted in my life!”

It’s true that the chestnuts grown on old trees have a unique taste.

The chestnut flavor is particularly strong, dry, floury, sweet, fragrant and glutinous.

Can't help but eat until full!

Suddenly, Su Yunluo remembered something. Didn't the villagers here not even have enough food to eat because of Su Ye's oppression? Why didn't they come to the manor to pick chestnuts to eat?

She just looked and saw a lot of chestnuts dropped on the ground. Apparently no one picked them up, so they rotted on the ground.

In the afternoon, Su Yunluo cooked some more chestnuts and took them out for a walk around the village.

She shared the chestnuts she brought with the elderly and children she met.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious. Really delicious."

"Have you ever eaten this before?"

Child A shook his head: "No."

Child B thought for a moment and said, "I've eaten it before."

Grandma A smiled and bit the chestnut with her toothless mouth, recalling: "My family originally lived in the mountains, and there were a lot of chestnuts in the mountains. Every autumn and winter, I would pick a lot of them and eat them. Later, when I married here, there were no mountains anymore, so I never ate them again."

Grandma B sighed, "I ate chestnuts when I was a child. I was naughty at that time, so I climbed over the manor wall and went inside to steal chestnuts. I was afraid that my family would find out and scold me, so I just stole them and ate them raw. But one time, a few of us kids climbed over the wall again and were discovered by the man who was guarding the manor. He came to our house to complain. Our parents almost beat us to death! There was a kid who went with us at the time, but because of that incident, his family beat him so hard that his leg was broken. He was a good man, but now he has become a cripple. He never got married and died young."

"It's just picking a few chestnuts, why are your family members so fierce?"

"Our parents have taught us since we were young that we must not offend the owner of the manor. If we make him angry, he will not rent us the land to farm. Then, we will starve to death."

"In fact, I heard from my mother that in the beginning, the owner of the manor was quite nice. He allowed children to play in the manor and pick fruits from the trees. But one time, a child took the owner's only son to climb a tree, and the son accidentally fell from the tree and died. From then on, the owner of the manor hated those children and refused to rent the land to their parents. As a result, those families had to leave the village, and not long after, they heard that they had starved to death outside." said an older man.

No wonder, later they would rather starve to death than enter the manor to pick food.

Su Yunluo distributed all the chestnuts he brought to everyone and then went home.

Before leaving, he asked the old people and children to give a message to the three village chiefs, asking them to bring twenty people to the manor to help early tomorrow morning, and they must be able to climb trees.

Early the next morning, the three village chiefs brought twenty villagers to the gate of the manor to wait for orders.

Su Yunluo was still sleeping at that time.

It was only when Eighteen knocked on the door to notify her that she quickly got up.

After washing up, I went to meet everyone: "You guys are here so early! Have you had breakfast?"

"We've eaten." The voices were very consistent, and it was obvious that they had been discussed beforehand.

Su Yunluo seemed not to have heard their answers and continued, "There are still quite a few burgers left from yesterday. If you don't mind, let's eat some together. They will go bad if left for too long, and then we have to throw them away. It would be a pity to throw them away, so we might as well eat them. Don't you agree?"

Those who were originally embarrassed to eat felt less pressured to eat after hearing what she said.

Baizhi went to heat up the breakfast, and then everyone sat down to eat together.

After eating and drinking, Su Yunluo began to announce what he was going to do today.

"Yesterday when I was strolling around, I found that there were still a lot of chestnuts on the chestnut tree. Today, please help me pick all the chestnuts from the chestnut tree."

"Okay, let's go right away."

The three village chiefs, along with twenty carefully selected villagers, went to the chestnut forest with Su Yunluo and the others.

"Climb the tree slowly." Su Yunluo said, "Safety first."

"Don't worry, Madam Su."

The twenty villagers quickly climbed up the tree, with the three village chiefs watching and giving orders from below.

"Everyone, be careful not to step on the branches."

"This way, up this way, there are more of them here."

"Pick it carefully, don't miss any."

After the villagers got into the mood, the three village chiefs also climbed up the tree to help.

Everyone picked the fruits carefully and cautiously, trying their best to protect the branches and leaves.

On Su Yunluo's side, the children also climbed up the trees to pick chestnuts, but they were mostly playing around.

"There's a big bird's nest here." The third child, Wang Jinbao, shouted to his sister excitedly as if he had discovered a treasure.

Wang Mengmeng was also on the tree, but next to Wang Yuanmou.

The eldest brother has been taking care of the younger sister.

"Really? Is there a bird in there, Third Brother?"

"I don't think so. The mother bird hasn't laid eggs yet at this time of year." Wang Jinbao replied, "But I can help you check."

The bird's nest is spherical and empty inside, so you can't see what's inside.

Wang Jinbao reached in and took something out.

As a result, I touched something furry and it moved!

He was so frightened that he lost his balance and screamed, about to fall from the tree.

Eighteen had been standing under the tree, closely observing the every move of the dozens of people on the tree.

If there is an accident, he will rush over to save people immediately.
