"We have a lot of them here in the mountains, but this thing has thorns on the outside. It is too hard to open and cannot be eaten. What is the use of this thing?" One of the villagers complained and was curious, wanting to know what this thing is.

What is the use.

Xi Yao listened and twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "This is the treasure, you are the ones guarding the treasure mountain and don't know what the treasure is!"

"What?" Everyone gathered around and looked at the thing in her hand. Monk Zhang Er couldn't touch it.

"What's the use of this? Is it medicine?" Zhou Rong asked seriously.

Lifting the chestnuts in her hand, she announced with a smile: "These are chestnuts. They are edible. They can be used as food, vegetables, snacks and snacks, and they taste great!"

"How is it possible?" Everyone wondered.

How could something like this be so good?

"Why is it impossible?" Xi Yao took out all the chestnuts in the box, only seven or eight in total.

She neatly removed the burrs, then made two cuts on the hard shell, and showed off: "I made it for you to eat, you can taste it, Ah Li, go and light the fire!"

Zhou Li was also surprised and immediately cooperated and entered the kitchen.

The few people who were going back to the military camp looked at each other in confusion. Zhou Rong finally decided to stay and have a look.

Xi Yao was busy in the kitchen, Awang's father and the others were still mumbling...

"There are a lot of things growing on this mountain, and no one knows they are edible!" They still feel like they are dreaming.

"That's it!"

They feel sorry for what was wasted in previous years.

A few chestnuts were cooked in a short time.

After Xi Yao fished out the open chestnut, she took it out directly for everyone to see.

"This chestnut is cooked after being scratched. The shell is easy to peel!" As she said that, she peeled off the shell, then handed it to Zhou Rong and said: "There are not many, you can hide it separately, and then give it to Zhou Rong."

General, take one back, and you will go up the mountain to get all the chestnuts tomorrow. This thing is a good thing, especially good for children and the elderly, and it can also make them full!"

There are few things, so let’s have a taste.

"Not to mention, this stuff is quite fragrant!" After tasting it carefully, everyone expressed their opinions.

Father Awang pinched the small piece of chestnut he was given, rubbed a little and put it in his mouth. After tasting the slightly sweet and pinky taste, he knew what he said was true.

This thing is really a good treasure.

They didn't even know it.

"Sir, let's pick it early tomorrow morning!" Everyone said happily.

This is all for food.

The food eaten in the military camp is almost mainly coarse grains.

There used to be river fish, but because more were caught, there are fewer of them, and there are so many people, so it would be nice if everyone could have a bowl of fish soup.

"Yeah!" When Zhou Rong nodded, Xi Yao accidentally discovered that Father Awang and the others were hesitant to speak...

Xi Yao thought for a while and said to Zhou Rong: "This back mountain is connected to Aozi Village. No one is having a hard time now. These chestnuts belong to them, either half for the military camp and half for the village. After they are picked,

Let people spread the news that chestnuts are edible, which can also alleviate the food shortage!"

Zhou Rong subconsciously cast his eyes on the faces of Awang and the others. Seeing that their faces were filled with astonishment, he obviously didn't expect Xi Yao to say that. He nodded and said, "In that case, let the villagers go up the mountain to pick it tomorrow!"

"I... I will tell the village chief when I get back that I will go up the mountain early tomorrow morning!" Awang's father said happily when he saw that he had no objection.
