Chapter 155: What best represents autumn is a bountiful harvest (2/2)
The August melon has many effects, clearing away heat and dampness, invigorating the blood, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, and having obvious medical effects on many diseases.
Look at this melon, everyone, it has cracked, cracking means it is ripe through and can be eaten straight away.
The netizens were already curious about everything in the mountains, and after Ning Fei found the August melon, everyone looked over even more intently.
They saw Ning Fei break the fruit open and take out the white flesh inside, which looked like the fruit of a dragon fruit.
Ning Fei took a bite and only found it fragrant is sweet, so he smiled and said:
This fruit is very sweet, when I was a child on my way out of school, I liked to burrow around in the dense forest just to find the August fruit to eat.
Now that I taste it again, it still tastes the same, very sweet.
When the netizens saw the look on Ning Feis face, one by one, they couldnt help but gulp down their mouths as well.
This kind of fruit was only sold in certain areas and was not a common fruit, so many people had never seen it before.
Ning Fei put all the remaining August fruits into his bamboo basket and continued to look forward.
Ning Fei should be considered the most knowledgeable about where to find the fruit on the big mountain. After all, every year when the appropriate time of year came, he would go to the mountains to look for fruit to eat.
This was one of the joys of his childhood.
Ning Fei walked forward for a while, and suddenly, he pointed ahead again and said.
Look here, everyone, its a wild chestnut.
The netizens followed the drones lens and looked over, and saw a tree with many fruits on its branches, those fruits were wrapped in green, thorny shells, and many people couldnt recognise what they were.
Is this a chestnut?
Arent chestnuts brown? Sugar-fried chestnuts are like that. Does it mean that wild chestnuts are different?
Guys, this is what chestnuts look like, you need to pluck the thorny shell to get the kind of brown direct eating fruit youre talking about.
This I didnt really know that, I thought chestnuts were just brown like that.
Normally, you dont usually see wild chestnuts in the city, its all peeled fruit.
The netizens discussed it again.
Ning Fei was also saying at this time.
Chestnuts are delicious but very hard to pick, when I was a kid me and my neighbourhood mates would go out into the wild to hunt chestnuts, sometimes getting bastardised by chestnut balls would hurt for days.
But the temptation of food is endless, whether its fried chestnuts or chestnut stewed chicken, its all very delicious.
Hearing Ning Feis description, netizens felt their mouths watering again.
Some exclaimed, Its a pity that you dont become a selling anchor, Master Ning Guan, I want to eat fried chestnuts before you say a few words here.
Ning Fei is tall, so picking chestnuts wasnt too difficult.
When people are picking chestnuts, they must look for the kind that are cracked open.
Its only when the seams are open that they indicate ripeness.
You can also pick chestnuts that have fallen off naturally on the ground, and when you pluck off the outer shell, they are smooth and tender.
Everyone should also be careful when peeling the shells, and its best to wear gloves if you can, otherwise youll easily get stabbed by the chestnuts.
Ning Fei said as he peeled the chestnuts and put all the peeled chestnuts into the bamboo basket.
After staying under the tree for a while, he also peeled quite a few chestnuts.
Well have fried chestnuts for dinner tonight. Ning Fei said to himself.
Ning Fei continued to walk towards the forest, the mountain was so full of chestnut trees that he could encounter wild chestnuts every few steps he took.
When the netizens saw such a scene, they were also very envious.
When Ning Fei came across chestnut trees, he looked for a few large and good chestnuts to pick, these were ripe and most delicious.
At this moment, Ning Fei saw a small squirrel peeling chestnuts from the chestnut tree in front of him, probably stocking up for the winter.
Ning Fei remembered that he had also robbed a little squirrel some time ago.
So, Ning Fei went over and peeled a few chestnuts and put them on the tree as a favour to the squirrel.
The squirrel looked at Ning Fei curiously, and immediately held the chestnut in both hands, one, two, or three just stuffed it into his mouth, and then ran away full of his mouth.
Seeing the way it stuffed the chestnuts, Ning Fei found it extraordinarily amusing and laughed.
The autumn breeze came out, the leaves rustled and another large group of fallen leaves floated down.
Looking at the chestnuts all over the tree, Ning Fei thought to himself, what best represents autumn should not be sluggishness, it should be bountiful harvest.
