SIAS Chapter 176.2

Yi Qingqing saw a handful of wild chestnuts. Although they were small, their brown skin was smooth and shiny. They looked very fresh.

My goodness, today she did go to see the few wild chestnut trees she had discovered on the mountain before, but apart from the rotten ones on the ground, she didn’t see a single good one.

Although there was a chestnut tree sign-in location under the chestnut tree, Yi Qingqing was reluctant to sign in there.

It turned out that some little kids had got there first. But it was much more convenient to get the peeled off the thorny shells than to pick them up by herself.

“Yes, of course! How do you want to change it this time?”

“This time, we want to exchange candy!”

“Okay, I’ll exchange whatever you can give me!” Yi Qingqing agreed decisively.

She had exchanged all the tickets in the educated youth gift package for things, and there were still quite a lot of candies left!

She herself didn’t particularly like sweet things, so she usually fed them to Ah Yuan, but she only fed him one by one each time, so she didn’t use much.

It would be better to exchange them for chestnuts. She had seen this thing in her previous life, but it was not until she was taught by Master Li to identify chestnut trees in the hunting skills teaching mode that she tasted raw chestnuts for the first time.

Then, out of curiosity, she learned how to make sugar-roasted chestnuts from Master Wen in the cooking skills teaching mode. It was the first time she ate cooked chestnuts, and she fell in love with it.

So, she must stock up on chestnuts!

“Great!” Hu Wa praised like a little adult.

“Wait, I’ll send it to you right away.”

After saying that, he ran away.

Yi Qingqing shook her head, closed the door, went into the house, and took out the agreed candy.

Not long after, Hu Wa came with his younger brothers, carrying two baskets of chestnuts.

One hand handed over candy, and the other handed over chestnuts. Everyone was happy.

“If there are more, you can exchange them!” Yi Qingqing said.

She wanted to stock up on chestnuts. If she couldn’t finish them this year, she could still eat them next year.

She wanted to achieve chestnut freedom!

Moreover, it seems that sugar is more precious than chestnuts now. But, in the city, you can buy candy at any supply and marketing cooperative or non-staple food store and buy candy with money and tickets, but it is difficult to find a place that sells chestnuts.

It is of the type that only grows in the mountains around the countryside. You may not be able to buy it in other places.

“That’s all we have for this year. If you want more, you’ll have to wait until next year!”

Hu Wa and his friends calculated the time and picked up a lot of chestnuts. But these things could also fill their stomachs, and they liked to eat them themselves, so they were only willing to exchange some of them for some precious candy to sweeten their mouths.

“Okay, I’ll change it the same way next year!” Yi Qingqing said.

These two halves of the basket of chestnuts together made one large basket, enough for her to eat for a long time.

That night, she fried the chestnuts in the thatched house in her portable space.

She tasted a small piece at a time. They looked better after being fried and tasted delicious. Before she knew it, she had eaten a small handful.

Looking at the big basket of chestnuts again, she suddenly felt that there were not many left. If she continued to eat like this, they would be gone in no time.

Although she was still not satisfied, she still resisted her greed and stored the rest well.

“When the portable space is upgraded to Level 3, I will plant two, no, three chestnut trees in it!”

Yi Qingqing swears!

*****

The author has something to say:

—Sugar-Sprinkling Little Theater—

Yun Guyuan: Sometimes, some people may not even be as good as chestnuts. Chestnut trees can still occupy a place in Qingqing’s space in advance, sad (⊙︿⊙)!

Yi Qingqing: Why are you so upset that you have to compare it with food?

Yun Guyuan: Because… I want to be… eaten… by Qingqing (whispering). (✿◡‿◡)
