So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

The chestnuts that were knocked off filled two baskets. There were so many chestnuts.

Suihe picked up one and put it in his mouth and started to bite it. The fresh chestnuts were delicious, crunchy, and the sweetness could be tasted after chewing carefully.

She prefers to eat chestnuts raw rather than cooked.

"Anzhi, let's go back." Seeing that the things on the ground were almost picked up, he called Anzhi to go back together.

The two passed by a place where people were hitting chestnuts with stones. There was no one there. They heard the sound of bamboo poles hitting branches in the distance. Sui He knew that they should go to another place to hit chestnuts.

Sui He did not go to find them, but took An down the mountain

There are a lot of chestnuts, and it's quite heavy.

After arriving home, Sui He spread out the chestnuts in the corner of the yard, took a handful into the kitchen, and dried the rest to eat later.

Raw chestnuts are easy to peel, and the flesh and skin are separate. Use a knife to cut a hole and then peel it.

"Anzhi, peel the chestnuts." Suihe handed the chestnuts in her hand to Anzhi, and she went to the chicken coop to catch chickens.

Now that chestnuts are out, she has to try something new, right?

Fresh chestnut roast chicken

The chicken used for roasting should not be too old, otherwise the meat will be difficult to tenderize. It is best to use a tender chicken that is about one year old.

Suihe's family just happened to have one. This was at the beginning of the new year. My grandmother hatched it from an old hen and raised it.

It hadn't started laying eggs yet. Sui He looked around and saw no one was around, so he grabbed the chicken he liked.

"Second sister, you caught the chicken, aren't you afraid of grandma scolding you?" Anzhi was still peeling chestnuts when she saw Suihe coming out with a chicken.

"It's okay. We've already killed it." Sui He was holding the chicken, feeling a little scared. She had killed the chicken before it even started laying eggs. It should be okay, right?

No matter what, let's eat it first. After a while, this little hen turned into a bowl of meat.

Anzhi's chestnuts have been peeled.

Suihe cuts the processed chicken into small pieces and stir-fryes it in a pan until it turns golden brown. Then, she adds appropriate amounts of water, ginger slices, star anise and other seasonings and cooks until the chicken is cooked through.

When the aroma is fragrant, Suihe pours the peeled chestnuts into the pot, stir-frying evenly, then covers the pot and simmers for a while. Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and a delicious chestnut roast chicken is ready.

While doing this, Sui He cooked another pot of rice and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

Now, the mother hen and her sons are all here.

When grandma and the others came back, Suihe had just finished cooking and brought out the meal.

Grandma knew what kind of chicken it was just by picking it up with chopsticks. After looking at Sui He and meeting his guilty look, she didn't say anything but continued to eat the chicken in her mouth as usual.

It's just a chicken, just eat it.

The fresh chestnuts are soft, glutinous and sweet. The hen is cooked very soft and tender. Grandpa and grandma also enjoy eating it.

As expected, fresh ingredients should be eaten while hot

As the days go by, the weather gets colder.

I have already washed and dried all the thick clothes at home.

The tomatoes in the field have been harvested. The yield of autumn-sown tomatoes is not as high as that in spring, but it is still a lot. The villagers will take the uneaten ones to the town to buy

When people in the town saw tomatoes, they would buy some and fry them themselves. However, eggs were still a luxury at that time, and few people were willing to use them to fry eggs.

After the tomatoes are finished, we start planting winter vegetables such as cabbage and radish.

There are also pea tips that Suihe likes the most. In the cold winter, drinking a bowl of pea tip soup will make your mouth fragrant all day long.

The peas are tender and can be eaten after blanching in water. They are fresh, crisp and delicious.

Sui He exhaled, and the hot air came into contact with the cold air, forming a white mist

"Anzhi, where are you going?" Sui He called out to Anzhi.

An Zhi carried a bamboo basket and said, "I'm going to the palace to deliver tongcao flowers."

Last time, the young lady of the palace wore Anzhi's Tongcao flowers and became a big star at the banquet. The whole Yingcheng began to ask where the young lady of the palace bought the Tongcao flowers.

During that time, Miss Wang's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Anzhi's tongcao flowers were already made, but Suihe didn't let her go because too many things would be worthless.

This has been delayed for several months. Today, she finally couldn't help but take Tongcaohua to the palace to see

This time Sui He did not let her bring too much, but instead used a brocade box to bring four types of flowers: plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and four gentlemen.

Looks good, and has a good meaning

"I'll go with you." Sui He stood up and prepared to pack his things.

"No, second sister, I want to try it myself." An Zhi shook her head: "I can't always rely on you. Anyway, Miss Wang knows me, I can go by myself."

"But you are only twelve years old, still young." Sui He was worried. Although she wanted An Zhi to grow up, twelve years old seemed to grow a little too fast.

Which girl goes out to sell things by herself at the age of twelve?

"I'll go with you," Grandma came out from the yard. "It's just right, winter is coming, I'll go buy some things for the house."

"If you are worried, then let grandma come with me." An Zhi nodded immediately when she saw grandma coming out.

It's not that she didn't want her second sister to go with her, but she felt that she couldn't live under her second sister's wings forever, she wanted to try to fly on her own.

I'm not afraid of falling down, because my second sister is holding me up.

"Okay." Seeing Anzhi's insistence, Suihe could only nod and say, "Let Brother Daniu take you out. If you have any problems, go find Shopkeeper Li."

"Okay, don't worry about it." Grandma nodded and told Sui He to go back quickly.

After asking around, Anzhi followed his grandmother to the side door of the palace. Anzhi took a deep breath and tried to look calm. He went forward and knocked on the door.

"Who are you?" The gatekeeper opened the door a crack and saw An Zhi and his grandmother at the door: "What are you doing here?"

"Hello, we are here to see Miss Wang. Miss Wang likes my tongcao flowers and asked me to send them directly to her after I make them." An Zhi said to the doorman: "Please help us pass the message."

The concierge looked An Zhi up and down. An Zhi was well dressed today, so the concierge, who always judged people by their appearance, did not dare to look down on her. "Wait a moment. I'll go in and ask the lady."

An Zhi didn't have to wait long before the door in front of him opened and a little maid came out: "Are you here to deliver the Tongcao flowers?"

"It's us" An Zhi nodded

"Then come in with me." Seeing An Zhi nod, the maid smiled immediately: "My lady has been talking about you for many times, and you are finally here."

Anzhi followed the maid to the palace garden and found Miss Wang who was enjoying the flowers. When Miss Wang saw Anzhi, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"You're finally here. I thought you forgot about me." Miss Wang looked at An Zhi sadly. Now not only the ladies in the city are looking for them, but she herself has also sent people to look for them, but she can't find them: "Quick, show me what style is today?"

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." An Zhi bowed slightly, then opened the brocade box and handed the tongcao flower inside to Miss Wang.

"Soon, soon, give me the things quickly." Miss Wang stared at Anzhi's basket without blinking.
