Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 157 Wild Chestnut and Emblica

When Xuyuan was carrying firewood home, the courtyard gate was wide open.

There were sounds of children playing inside.

Xu Zhi heard the noise and looked up: "Sister, you are back. I have already cooked the meal and have been waiting for you to come back."

"it is good."

"Xiaozhi, where did you pick this fruit from?"

"Sister, I picked these with Juanhua Xiaoque and the others at the mountainside. There were so many of them. Grandpa Wang and the others said they were edible."

"Sister, what are those thorny things?"

Xu Yuan put down the firewood on his shoulders and the basket on his back, relaxed his shoulders, picked up the fruits that Xu Zhi had packed and put on the table.

"The wild chestnuts on the mountain are delicious if you peel off the shells. There are still a lot of them. I picked up a few for now. Let's go up the mountain together tomorrow morning to pick them up. There are a lot of them on the ground."

Xu Zhi was curious, so he walked forward, picked up the thorny fruit and took a look at it.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the master for discovering Phyllanthus emblica. Fifty points as a reward."

Emblica officinalis.

I have never eaten it, so I picked up a small fruit and took a look. It was green and yellow, and the skin was not very good-looking and a bit rough.

It tasted sour at first, Xu Yuan frowned unconsciously, swallowed it slowly, and then it began to taste sweet.

It was exactly the same as what was recorded in the Record of Wild Game.

Xu Zhi was surprised: "Sister, don't you feel sour?"

Seeing my elder sister swallowing a fruit without changing her expression, I was a little surprised. I just took a small bite and spat it out immediately because it was sour. It was bitter and sour, but it seemed to have a sweet aftertaste afterwards, and my mouth was sweet.

The same went for Guozi and the other kids. After eating one, they didn't make any noise. They just put a handful of fruit in their pockets, saying they would taste it when they had nothing to eat.

"Yes, a little bit. Besides eating it dry like this, there are other ways to eat it. I'll teach you later."

"Hello sister Xuyuan."

Several children came out from many rooms and greeted Xuyuan.

Many people saw the thorny fruits in the wishing basket and ran over to take a look, very curious.

When several children saw it, they rushed to see it.

Looking at Daquan, Liu Yuelai, Gu Qingming and Liu Xiaoyu running out, Xu Yuan's eyes lit up. There were a few more people to help pick the fruits.

"Children, wash your hands and eat. Come here early tomorrow morning and I will take you up the mountain to pick these fruits."

Liu Yue came to test: "Can we go too?"

"Of course you can, but you have to tell your family."

"it is good."

"Great."

"Then elder sister, how do we eat these fruits? Will they be sour like the fruits that my second sister brought back?"

Liu Yuelai picked it up and said, "Sister Xuyuan, this has thorns. Won't it prick your mouth if you eat it?"

"Well, it will prick your mouth if you eat it." Daquan muttered to himself.

Many people refuted: "Hahaha, how could that be? Big sister will not bring back fruit that cannot be eaten."

"Eat first, and we'll talk later. Don't worry, this is delicious."

·····

The bell rang and the side door of the academy opened again.

Students came out one after another.

'"Qinghan, we have been eating in the cafeteria for several days. I want to go out and breathe some fresh air. Let's go out for a meal today."

Lin Zhian, who was following behind, nodded frequently. Except for that day, Ading delivered the food box again the next day, and then he said he would not deliver it anymore.

When asked the reason, he hesitated and struggled for a long time, and the words he said hurt Lin Zhian's heart. He didn't expect that the food that was rarely delivered for the past two days was actually the leftover food after the mat was set up!

Really, it smells really good.

Why should we choose to set the table when we are going to school?

"Hello, Mr. Gu."

A pretty voice sounded outside the door.

Gu Qinghan paused as he was about to step out and stopped.

"Qinghan, why don't you move on? Why did you stop?"

Glancing over, he saw a pretty girl standing outside, her face slightly flushed, looking at Gu Qinghan from time to time.

Oh, you are so lucky, brother Qinghan.

He blinked at Gu Qinghan.

"Miss, what can I do for you?"

Gu Qinghan spoke in a cold tone, showing no regard for the woman in front of him at all.

Wu Shiya was not angry when she heard such a cold tone. She first introduced herself and then... shifted her gaze.

"Mr. Gu, can I invite you to have dinner at Fu Man Lou? Oh, and some of your friends can also come with you."

Several pairs of eyes behind looked at it curiously, their eyes bright.

"Sorry, I'm not free."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the academy.

Lin Zhian was very disappointed: "What? Qinghan, Qinghan."

Li Junyong, as Gu Qinghan's good brother, followed closely behind.

Wu Mingshi watched helplessly and continued to pretend that he didn't exist.

The delicious meal that was about to reach my mouth flew away.

Lin Zhian was a little unwilling, "Sister Shiya, if Qinghan doesn't go, I will go. I am happy to accompany you."

"Let's go, let's go. Don't embarrass yourself here." Wu Mingshi couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled Lin Zhian out.

"Let go, why are you pulling me, are you worried about your sister... that little bit of money?"

Wu Mingshi quickly covered Lin Zhian's mouth and said, "Shut up, don't shout, are you afraid that others won't know?"

"Qinghan, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me."

Li Junyong quickly caught up with someone who was walking fast in front and teased.

"What are you doing? Are you shy? It's rare for a girl to talk to you. You look good too. I'm attracted to you. Hahaha."

"I'm not interested in her, just shut up."

"I know you're not interested in her, but you're interested in someone else. Do you think she's interested in you?"

"What do you mean? Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Qinghan's pace, which had been slowing down, quickened again and he went straight to the cafeteria without waiting for Li Junyong.

"Tsk, I guessed it right. You must be angry and embarrassed."

"what happened?"

"what!"

A sudden sound behind him scared him so much that he was still immersed in the pride of guessing his good brother's thoughts.

"Why don't you make any noise when you walk? It's easy to scare people."

Wind sound:

"What's wrong with you two? Why did Qinghan leave in such a huff?"

"Oh, he must be in a hurry and can't wait any longer."

Feng Juesheng raised his eyebrows: Do you think I look like a fool?

Li Junyong put his arm around Feng Juesheng's shoulder as if he were a brother, "Come on, let's go eat together."

"No, I've finished eating. Go ahead. I'm leaving first."

Feng Juesheng coldly took Li Junyong's hand off his shoulder, turned around and left.

"Oh, that's boring."

Li Junyong stretched out his hands, put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the cafeteria.

"Classmate, why are you walking slowly here? If you go later, you can only use the vegetable juice to make rice." Two students ran by in a hurry. Seeing Li Junyong's behavior, they kindly reminded him, then walked past Li Junyong and ran to the cafeteria.

"Yes."

"Wait for me, let's eat together."
