With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

Shortly after dawn the next morning, the group prepared to go up the mountain to pick chestnuts.

"Sister, look at my tool!"

As Zhou Xing walked, he turned back and called Zhou Yue, waving a thin bamboo pole in his hand.

Her brother walked too fast. Zhou Yue followed him breathlessly and scolded him.

"Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"

Although he complained, his pace quickened a bit.

Everyone came to the foot of the mountain and climbed up the mountain along the winding path.

Soon, we arrived at the wild chestnut forest.

When the wind blew, the leaves rustled, as if welcoming them.

"Sister, there are so many chestnuts here!"

Zhou Xing saw a lot of thorn balls fallen under a chestnut tree and hurried over.

Zhou Yue also quickly followed and gave instructions.

"Be careful not to prick your hands."

As she spoke, she picked up a thick branch from the ground and began to fiddle with the chestnut thorn balls.

The trees are hung with round chestnut balls, some of which have opened their mouths to reveal the brown chestnuts.

Sister Chunyan's eyes lit up and she hurried over to start working.

Zhou Yue took the bamboo pole from her brother, stood on tiptoe, and tapped the branches gently.

Chestnut balls fell down one after another, and Zhou Xing picked them up happily under the tree.

He was pricked by the thorns from time to time, and the pain made him hiss and gasp, but he was still reluctant to put down the chestnuts in his hand.

A few people were picking chestnuts while chatting.

Zhou Yue was very skilled. She stepped on the thorn ball with her foot and then pried it with a branch, and the chestnuts rolled out.

Zhou Xing helped to pick up the chestnuts and put them into the basket. Occasionally, he accidentally touched the thorn ball and cried out "Ouch", which made his sister and Chunyan laugh again.

After working for a while, everyone filled the bags with chestnuts and went home contentedly.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw Sister Chunxia sitting in the yard mending clothes.

"Sister Chunxia, ​​we picked a lot of wild chestnuts!"

After returning home, pour the chestnuts on the ground.

Zhou Yue cleaned the chestnuts and began to prepare to make chestnut cake.

She first boiled the chestnuts, then skillfully peeled off the shells and inner skins and crushed them in a stone mortar.

Zhou Xing watched eagerly from the side, stealing a bite from time to time.

"Go away, don't make trouble here."

Zhou Yue smiled, pushed Zhou Xing and continued.

"Help me get that bag of candy."

Zhou Yue added crushed chestnuts, sugar, glutinous rice flour and water, mixed them evenly, made them into square cakes, and steamed them in a steamer.

The steamer was emitting steam, and Sister Chunyan had already started the pot on the stove, preparing to fry chestnuts.

Put sand and maltose in the pot. After the sand is heated, pour in the washed chestnuts and stir-fry continuously.

"These sugar-roasted chestnuts must be fried slowly over low heat to bring out the aroma."

Sister Chunyan talked as she fried, turning the chestnuts up and down with the spatula in her hand, and the chestnuts made a crackling sound in the pan.

After a while, the room was filled with a sweet scent.

The chestnut cake in the steamer was also steamed. Zhou Yue opened the lid of the pot, and the golden chestnut cake exuded an attractive luster.

"Come and try it!" Zhou Yue called everyone.

Zhou Xing couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chestnut cake, which was so hot that he tossed it back and forth in his hands.

He finally stuffed it into his mouth, filling it up as he spoke incoherently.

"Sister, it's so delicious!"

Sister Chunyan also smiled, took a bite and praised.

"Ayue's cooking skills are real, sweet and sticky!"

Everyone sat together, eating chestnut cakes and sugar-roasted chestnuts.
