The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time

Chapter 111: Going up the mountain to pick chestnuts

Although Yu Baibai's house is small, it is still not crowded enough for seven or eight people to sit in it.

Mr. Yu discussed with Yu Baibai:

"Baibai, how about we build a kang first? That step-out bed is too big. Your uncle might need a month or so to finish it."

"Oh! Okay then!" If we have to wait, how long will it take for my uncle to move in?

Forget it, let’s just fix the kang!

We moved in in two days without any trouble.

"Okay, okay, I'll find someone to do it for you right now!" Old Master Yu said in a hurry.

Yu Baibai sat at the table at the door and started drawing the blueprint again.

This time I drew the design of the yard.

Qiao Sen didn't follow into the mountains today, but wandered around Yu Baibai.

Seeing Yu Baibai frowning, they came over and encouraged her:

"Baibai, do you want to eat chestnuts? My uncle has seen chestnut trees in the mountains! They are all ripe!"

"Stir-fried chestnuts!"

He put away the blueprint in his hand and said, "Let's go! Go pick some chestnuts! Is it far?"

"It's not far, just a little hidden." It's not far for me, but for a little girl like you...

Hehe, let’s go up the mountain first and take Baibai out to play.

Once it snows, we won’t be able to let this little girl go up the mountain to relax. Look at how busy she has been these days. She hasn’t even left the house.

The little guy is still young and can’t be so listless. It would be better for him to go into the mountains and play and get some fresh air!

"go!"

Anyway, it’s only a little after nine o’clock. If you’re worried it’ll take a long time, just grab something to eat.

Seeing the two men about to leave with the backpacks on their backs, Dahei and Dahuang followed closely.

Yu Baibai didn't chase them and let them follow him.

The two dogs are wagging their tails happily. No one likes to be restrained, right?

Since Yu Baibai's small courtyard was at the back, if she wanted to go out, she had to go through the main gate and pass through everyone's courtyard.

Along the way, I attracted a few young boys.

He kept yelling and wanted to follow. Qiao Sen had no choice but to agree:

"You can follow me, but you have to be obedient and not run around!"

"Okay, okay! Brother Sen, let's go!"

"Let's go! We've got our backpacks ready!"

Several young men and a little girl were howling:

“Wuhu~~~”

"Ouch~~~"

"Hurry up, hurry up~!"

A group of people walked into the mountains in a mighty procession. Qiao Sen led the way in front, Yu Baibai and the dogs walked behind Qiao Sen, and a few friends behind were talking and laughing.

Sometimes he climbs trees, sometimes he digs the soil.

"It's right ahead, try harder!" Qiao Sen shouted, pointing to a pile of rocks ahead.

Everyone quickened their pace and walked forward, circling the stone. It didn't seem far away, but it took more than half an hour to walk around it.

After pushing aside the vines that were blocking the view, I looked up and saw that this small valley was full of trees.

This place can be described as a paradise!

The place is surrounded by steep rocks. If Qiao Sen hadn't discovered it by chance, it would probably never have been seen.

The trees were full of ripe chestnuts, some of which had already burst and fallen to the ground, revealing the plump chestnuts inside.

"Wow! So many chestnuts!" Yu Baibai trotted over, squatted down, carefully picked up a cracked chestnut, and shouted excitedly.

"Don't worry, I'll knock them down. Stand far away and be careful not to get hit." Qiao Sen put down the backpack and climbed up the tree in no time.

He picked up the bamboo pole he had prepared last time. He brought this bamboo pole up from the foot of the mountain!

He raised his arms and hit the chestnut tree hard, and chestnuts fell like raindrops.

"Pick it up quickly!" Someone shouted.

Everyone rushed over to pick them up from under the tree and put them in their backpacks.

In a short while, the backpack was full.

"Okay, we can't fit any more space, let's go back! Next time, bring more people and take everything back!" Qiao Sen said as he jumped down from the tree.

Everyone returned with a full load, chatting and laughing along the way.

Yu Baibai felt happy thinking that she could eat sweet sugar-roasted chestnuts in the evening.

When she was picking chestnuts, she also secretly smuggled a lot of them into space!

Hehehe~ Delicious sugar-roasted chestnuts~

The delicious chestnut fried chicken is also good!

And chestnut crisps!

It just so happens that I have a barbecue oven now, which is not a big deal. I can bake more and ask my dad to take them to town to sell. I should be able to make some money.

And some sweet-scented osmanthus and chestnut toast!

Tsk tsk tsk!

Why are there so many delicious foods?

I can’t eat enough!

When they returned to the Yu family compound, everyone was exhausted. The young man didn't mind the dirt on the ground and sat down on it directly.

Qiao Sen looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Are you tired? Will you follow me next time?"

"Follow! We'll go again next time!"

"Yes! This is the first time we've picked up so many things!"

"Yes, yes! We will go there again next time! What do you think about us building a small house there?" This person is Yu Batian's eldest grandson, Yu Daguo.

The young man lying next to him suddenly sat up, grinning with joy:

"Great! We'll have a place to rest when we go to the mountains to pick up things later!"

Yu Baibai also joined the discussion: "Then can we also dig a piece of land there? We can use it as our secret base!"

They don’t know what a secret base is, but they know the secret, and only they know it!

"Okay!"

Yu Baibai was a little worried. Her courtyard was still being completed. If she went to the mountains to build a small house...

Forget it. I can’t live here for the next two days anyway. I have to wait for the kang to be ready. I might as well go and get a small house in the mountains first.

A few people sat here, peeling chestnuts and discussing what kind of house to build.

The carpenters in the square looked at him sideways.

"Oh, you're back! Have you had lunch?" The headwoman was holding a basin, apparently preparing to knead dough.

Yu Baibai smiled and raised the chestnut in his hand:

"We've eaten! We ate the pancakes! We brought a lot of chestnuts down from the mountain! We'll roast them later!"

"That's great! Be careful not to prick your hand!"

"Uh-huh!"

They brought down five backpacks and piled them up!

It looks like he must weigh at least 100 pounds!

It's almost four o'clock now, there's still time.

Qiao Sen took a hatchet and started to cut the chestnuts, and soon a whole pot of them had opened.

Then he set up a pot and started to boil water.

Put the opened chestnuts in and cook them for a while, then pour them into a large basin along with the water.

The guys who are peeling chestnuts over there don’t peel off the prickly skin anymore, they peel it with hot water!

The main thing is that it is easier to dig now.

They had stolen this stuff when they were fleeing from famine, and now they are already experienced at it.

It was stripped quickly and completely!

Yu Baibai muttered softly, "I don't know if I can catch a pheasant today. If I can, I can have fried chicken with chestnuts!"

Qiao Sen had never seen or eaten it, but he knew that anything that Yu Baibai was thinking about must be unpalatable!

"Of course I can! Don't you know your grandpa's hunting skills? Don't worry! If there's nothing today, your uncle will go up the mountain to hunt for you tomorrow!"

"Great! My uncle is the best!"
