Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

"I want to buy some candies or snacks. Do you have any?"

"Yes, yes."

"Put your load over here, and I'll pick out a few things."

Xiaoyue pretended to flip through the things on her shoulder pole and put the recipes for making several kinds of chestnuts that she had written among the goods.

Li Dong watched Xiaoyue's little movements and thought that this trip was indeed coming. The brothers were worried that the people in Xiaoqing Village would bully the newcomers and that the young lady was not doing well, so they asked him to come over and take a look.

But when he looked at her, he found that the young lady seemed quite comfortable here. The courtyard was quiet and clean, and the young lady was full of energy and seemed to be in a good mood.

Li Dong squatted down and took out some of the things from the shoulder pole for Xiaoyue to pick. Xiaoyue also squatted down and looked at them one by one. She first took a bag of brown sugar, then picked up a bag of snacks and looked at them. When she put them back, she touched a few pieces of paper.

After she came back from the mountain, she personally sorted out several ways to eat chestnuts, and whispered, "Go back and tell Uncle Chun to pick up the chestnuts."

"receive……"

Li Dong was a little dumbfounded when he saw Xiaoyue stuffing paper into the shoulder pole.

What are you doing, young lady?

When I heard that they were asked to collect chestnuts, I was a little confused.

That thing is covered with thorns, why collect it?

Seeing that Li Dong didn't quite understand, Xiaoyue whispered again: "I wrote down several ways to eat chestnuts. You can discuss the price. The chestnuts in my yard are there."

Only then did Li Dong turn his attention to the chestnuts drying in the yard.

"Big sister, what are you drying in your yard? It looks fresh. Is it some mountain product? Do you want to sell it?"

The word "big sister" almost made Xiaoyue laugh.

She quickly lowered her head.

Others thought she was embarrassed, but in fact Xiaoyue was just trying to hold back her laughter.

This name is really unexpected.

However, Xiaoyue was still very happy with Li Dong's cleverness.

It’s good to ask if you don’t understand.

Since she is called "big sister", she has to give a proper answer.

"These are chestnuts. I picked them up in Xiaoqing Mountain. Come and try them, big brother. They can be eaten raw or cooked."

Xiaoyue said as she stood up and walked over to where the chestnuts were drying. Li Dong saw her and quickly followed.

He took the thorn ball given to him by Xiaoyue and peeled it open at Xiaoyue's signal.

Xiaoyue picked up another chestnut from the ground, peeled off the hard shell under Li Dong's gaze, then peeled off the layer of fur that tightly wrapped the chestnut meat, and put the white flesh that was finally exposed into her mouth.

Haha, so that’s how it is!

Li Dong had seen chestnuts before. They were prickly and had shells. Sometimes, out of curiosity, he would peel off the last hard shell and throw it away after seeing the furry thing inside.

Many people are like him. When they see it in the mountains, they are afraid of getting their feet pricked and walk around it.

In autumn, there are a lot of these in the mountains. If they can really be sold, it would be a good thing.

"This, this tastes really good. The elder sister is really capable, amazing."

Li Dong praised Xiaoyue sincerely.

He had to go back and tell his brothers about his plan to make money.

Thinking of this, he turned around and started to carry his load, even forgetting to ask for money for the bag of brown sugar that Xiaoyue had taken at the beginning.

Xiaoyue also remembered it after watching the person walk away for a long time.

Forget it.

Xiaoyue looked at the brown sugar in her hand and didn't chase after him.

A few half-grown children not far from the door had been peeking in. When they saw Xiaoyue was about to close the door but didn't know how to leave, some of them looked at the brown sugar bag in her hand, while others stared blankly at the chestnuts in the yard. Xiaoyue didn't bother to argue with the children, and just as she was about to close the door, she heard the voice of the village chief.

"What are you looking at? Go play somewhere else."

Then the children scattered like birds and beasts.

"Xiaoyue, don't close the door yet, I have something to talk to you about."

"Uncle village chief, please come into the yard and talk."

Xiaoyue stopped herself from closing the door and let the village chief into the yard.

"I heard your aunt talk about the chestnut, so I thought I'd come over to take a look and ask about it."

Asking the villagers to pick chestnuts and sell them is no small matter. It is not a big deal whether a family picks more or less. It is not a big deal for the villagers to go up the mountain to pick chestnuts. The key is to sell them. The village chief did not get the news from Li Chun. If he did not collect them at that time, the villagers would work in vain and be happy for nothing. He would be difficult to appease them and could not end the matter.

"Uncle Village Chief, look, this is the chestnut I was talking about."

"Here. There are a lot of them in Xiaoqing Mountain. In autumn, they are all over the ground and hurt your feet."

"Uncle village chief, these thorn balls may prick your feet, but the chestnuts inside are edible. If they are edible and delicious, you can sell them for money, right?"

"How do you eat it? When you peel it open, it's full of hair, and it's prickly and astringent."

"You can eat it raw, but it tastes different when cooked. The fur inside cannot be eaten, so it has to be peeled off."

"Really?"

The village chief took a chestnut handed to him by Xiaoyue with some doubt, listened to Xiaoyue's introduction, peeled the skin himself on the spot, removed the fur inside, and put the white raw chestnut into his mouth.

"Mm, it's sweet when you chew it."

"Don't worry, Uncle Village Chief, the Yunlai Inn will definitely accept chestnuts. As long as the goods are good, we are not afraid that they will not accept them."

"How much can he charge for Yunlai Inn?"

"We mountain people don't like chestnuts, but the people in the town and the state don't have mountains. If nothing else, they would buy some just for the sake of novelty, wouldn't they?"

"Well, that's what happened."

"You want to ask me how much Yunlai Inn can charge? I really don't know. You should ask the owner of Yunlai Inn."

"If it's for insurance, they won't charge so much. Uncle Village Chief, just wait and see. My face will feel better in a few days. I'll go to Yunlai Inn to deliver it and teach our villagers a lesson."

"What's your face?"

"Today is the first day of applying the medicine on my face. It will take at least a few days. I went to the mountains early this morning and picked up some chestnuts. I can pick them up every day in the next few days. When my face is almost healed and I have picked up a lot of chestnuts, I will go to Yunlai Inn to sell chestnuts."

"It's okay, just stay at home, I'll find someone to ask later."

The village chief was too embarrassed to look at Xiaoyue's face, and it was not appropriate for him to stay with Xiaoyue any longer. Although the gate was always open, some gossipy women in the village were very good at making up stories. Even though he was the village chief, he could not argue with those women.

He came here to report to his daughter-in-law.

If anyone dares to say anything bad, let his wife deal with those women.

"Xiaoyue, if this can really be accomplished, you will be a great hero of our village. The whole village will have to thank you."

The village chief walked out while talking, and he raised his voice deliberately.

In addition to the half-grown children, there were other people outside the yard. He just wanted to let the people in the village know that Xiaoyue was a good girl and she would not hide the money she made.

There are chestnuts all over the mountain, but who knew that they can be eaten and sold for money.

If chestnuts can be sold for money, isn't that the same as picking up money in the mountains?

Both the elderly and children can pick up money.

For the poor Xiaoqing Village, this is definitely a great thing.
