I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Xu Congwen had nothing to do after dinner, so he joined Xu Congyi in cracking chestnuts with her. After a while, they had peeled a small pile, but he still didn't know what his sister wanted these things for.

Xu Congyi smiled mysteriously and asked her elder brother to pick up some peeled chestnuts and go to the kitchen with her. The water had just been boiled in the kitchen and there were still sporadic flames. Xu Congyi poured the chestnuts into the stove and used firewood to stir them so that the burning part covered the chestnuts. Xu Congwen was even more confused. His sister was still lighting the fire. He looked at Xu Congyi. Xu Congyi saw the doubt in his eyes and smiled at him slyly.

"Brother, you will know soon!"

The rest of the people also ate and drank their fill, and cleaned up the mess on the table. After that, the family set up a small table in the yard, washed some apricots grown at home, and ate them while chatting. The evening breeze gently caressed my cheeks, which was comfortable and cozy.

Calculating that it was almost time, Xu Congyi dragged Xu Congwen to the kitchen, dug out the cooked chestnuts from the ashes, and picked them up one by one in a bamboo basin. Xu Congyi told his elder brother not to tell others what it was, and Xu Congwen didn't know why, but nodded.

"Grandpa! Grandma! Dad! Mom! Second brother! Try this!"

When the Xu family saw this black thing that looked like a big sheep dung ball, they all felt that it was not something delicious.

Seeing that no one was moving, Xu Cong took the initiative to pick up a chestnut, wiped it with her hands, pinched the chestnut with her thumb and index finger, pressed hard, and the chestnut skin cracked. Then she peeled out the yellow flesh inside and put it in her mouth. It tasted very sweet. She wanted to test the sweetness of the chestnut first, and if it was not sweet, she would consider making sugar-fried chestnuts. After all, sugar was a luxury in this era.

"Hmm? It's so delicious?" Xu Congyi pretended to be intoxicated.

Seeing her daughter say it was delicious, Li Dahua also picked up one and followed Xu Congyi's example, opening a chestnut and putting it in her mouth.

"Mmm! It's delicious! Sweet and soft, so delicious!"

Xu Congwen also picked up one and imitated his sister to peel the skin and eat the kernel. As soon as the fruit entered his mouth, Xu Congwen was surprised. The skin of this thing had thorns and a hard shell, but he didn't expect the kernel inside to be so delicious. It was indeed sweet and soft as his mother said, and he couldn't help but praise it.

Seeing that the three people said it was delicious, the rest of the Xu family also took it and started eating. Although they were all full for dinner, this thing was so delicious that they couldn't help but stuff it into their mouths one after another. After a while, the small bowl of chestnuts was finished.

After they finished eating, Xu the Hunter remembered to ask what it was. Xu Congyi looked at Xu Congwen, meaning that he should let his elder brother tell the family. Xu Congwen did not refuse, and told his family in detail how his sister broke the thorn ball and how to roast this thing called chestnut.

Now it was the Xu family's turn to be shocked. The burr balls that they used to burn as firewood actually contained such delicious food.

However, the Xu family still asked the question again, which is - how did Xu Congyi know it.

Xu Congyi spoke out the prepared speech.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, big brother, second brother, actually, during those years when I was in a coma, it was the gods in heaven who called me away."

"What? A fairy?"

"Yes, it was the gods. They gave me a very thick book with everything in it. The way to eat chestnuts is the same as what is in the book. But the gods didn't let me take the book back to the mortal world. Instead, they melted the book into an elixir and asked me to eat it."

In modern times, this statement would probably be considered a mental illness, but in ancient times when superstition was highly valued, no one doubted Xu Congyi's words.

"No wonder the monk was able to calculate that Yi Yi was still alive. It turns out that he had the guidance of a god!" Xu's mother suddenly realized.

"That monk must be really capable. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a true god." However, Xu Congyi thought so in his heart but did not say it out loud.

"What else is written in that immortal's book?" Xu Cong'an couldn't help but interrupt.

"There are many more. Chestnuts are very filling," Xu Congyi and his family explained. "And there are many ways to eat chestnuts. In addition to the common roasted chestnuts, boiled chestnuts, steamed chestnuts, and the more delicious sugar-fried chestnuts, the more particular ones can be made into chestnut soup, chestnut cake, and even delicious chestnut crisps like jujube flower crisps."

"Besides chestnuts, there are many more delicacies. Tomorrow I will make you a delicious meal with corn. I guarantee you will want to eat it again after trying it once!"

Hearing Xu Congyi say this, everyone in the Xu family became greedy.
