Chapter 70 Double surprise, discovering yams and chestnuts

Soapberry is easier to use and can produce more bubbles, while soapberry does not have so many bubbles.

When Chen Huiniang heard that this round fruit could be used to wash clothes, she was immediately happy. She took it, broke open a fruit, and rubbed the peel on her clothes a few times, and she saw foam coming out.

Then I scrubbed the area with my hands, and sure enough, the dirt just flowed away with the bubbles.

"Hey, this thing is really useful!"

Chen Huiniang's actions were noticed by the other women, who immediately gathered around her.

"Ran Yatou, where did you pick this thing? Isn't it poisonous? It's so useful, let's pick some for washing clothes."

"Since it can be used for washing clothes, can it also be used for bathing and washing hair? There are a lot of bubbles, so it should be very clean, right?"

Qian Daya's mind wandered, and she suddenly thought that this thing could be used to create bubbles like soap. Couldn't it also be used to take a bath and wash hair?

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Qiao Ran with bright eyes.

There were no soapberries in their Qingshui Village, and they had never known that the fruit could be used to wash clothes.

It would be great if it could be used for bathing and washing hair, but wouldn’t it also be used as a soap in the future?

He saw everyone looking at him, waiting for the answer.

Qiao Ran nodded: "Okay, this is a medicinal material, cold in nature and slightly poisonous. It can be used to eliminate accumulation and insecticides, clear away heat and eliminate phlegm, etc. Even if it is taken orally, as long as the dose is not large, it will be fine. It can be used for washing hair and bathing. It’s no problem, as long as you’re careful not to eat it as fruit, you’ll be fine.”

Not tasty either. Qiao Ran thought.

When everyone heard that it had so many uses, they immediately stopped caring about washing clothes and asked Qiao Ran to show them where the tree with this fruit was.

Qiao Ran pointed them to the tree where she was just now, as well as several smaller trees next to it.

"Here, just pick those fruits from those trees. Ripe fruits that fall on the ground are more useful."

When everyone heard this, they all ran towards those trees.

Jump up and pull down the shorter branches, pull down the taller branches and rattan branches, and use the branches to hook them down.

If you can climb trees, you can climb directly to the tree to pick.

Some of the smarter ones listened to Qiao Ran and directly picked up the ripe fruits that fell on the ground.

Chen Huiniang also ran to pick up some mature ones and used them to wash clothes.

Lin Guizhen also wanted to help wash clothes. Chen Huiniang quickly helped her to the shore under a tree and said: "You have a big belly, you can't bend down, and you can't stand in the water all the time. You and Yue'er just sit here and wait. Come on, wait until we finish washing our clothes and go back together."

Lin Guizhen said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry that I need you to help me, Yue'er and Xing'er wash our clothes."

Chen Huiniang said with a smile: "We are all a family, why do we care so much? When I suddenly heard the bad news about your eldest brother, I fell ill in bed, weren't you the one who took care of my mother-in-law?"

Just as she was talking, she saw Mrs. Qiao already squatting by the stream with her trouser legs rolled up, washing clothes, and Chen Huiniang ran over quickly.

"Mom, please sit over there with your third brother and sister for a while, and I'll wash your clothes! You're old, so don't suffer from the cold."

Mrs. Qiao said "Hi" and didn't take it seriously: "Who said I'm old? I'm very strong and strong, so I can still do this kind of work."

Chen Huiniang couldn't resist her, so she could only squat on the other side, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law washed the clothes together.

When the aunts and daughters-in-law in the village watched this scene, they couldn't help but admire it secretly.

The family tradition of the Qiao family is really good. The old lady will not abuse her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law also respects the old lady and loves each other. It is really admirable.

Seeing that there was no room for her, Qiao Ran told her mother and told Qiao Yue not to run around, then went into the forest to see if there were any treasures that could be picked up.

Because there were so many people outside, Qiao Ran didn't dare to go too far for fear of worrying her mother.

So, she walked around, picked some mushrooms and fungus, and put them in the space.

Just when she thought she had nothing else to gain and wanted to walk out of the woods and return to the stream, she unexpectedly got an unexpected gain.

Inadvertently, her eyes glanced at a vine with small brown fruits.

She quickly stepped forward and took a closer look.

"Yam eggs!"

Qiao Ran didn't expect that there would be wild yams here.

I looked around and saw that there were many such vines. There were a lot of yams growing in this area!

She was very happy and immediately took a small hoe from the space to dig out a yam and take a look.

If there are yams down there, let everyone come and dig them out. After all, they can be used as staple food!

As for her own home, she plans to take it from the space.

Yams are also grown in the small courtyard of her space. These wild yams are mainly used for medicinal purposes. When used as food, they are not as delicate as the ones grown at home and are a bit rough on the throat.

Just as Qiao Ran was about to dig into the ground with a hoe, she caught a glimpse of some familiar fruits next to the yam vine.

Qiao Ran looked around again and saw a piece of fluffy fruit scattered on the ground, and Qiao Ran felt happy.

Looking up, sure enough, there are many such fluffy fruits on the tree.

"Chestnut! There are so many chestnuts!"

Qiao Ran really didn't expect that there would be a double surprise.

She liked eating chestnuts in her previous life. The sweet and glutinous texture made people want to eat them again.

When warming up the fire in winter, throw a handful of raw chestnuts into the ashes and they will soon be roasted fragrantly.

Or put it in an iron pan and stir-fry it with coarse-grained sand to make fragrant fried chestnuts.

When making soup, throwing a dozen shelled chestnut kernels into the pot not only makes the soup more delicious, but also increases nutrition.

The nutritional value of chestnuts is very high. The vitamin C content is higher than that of tomatoes and more than ten times that of apples. Although its potassium, zinc, iron, etc. content is not as high as that of hazelnuts, it is still much higher than ordinary fruits such as apples, especially the potassium content is three times higher than that of apples.

Such nutritious, delicious and filling chestnuts were undoubtedly the best food supply for them during their escape.

She can do without the yams, but she cannot do without the chestnuts! There are only two packages of dried chestnuts purchased online in her space. Where can fresh chestnuts taste good?

Qiao Ran immediately threw down the hoe, broke off a slender branch, and knocked the chestnuts off the tree.

After knocking for a while, a layer of furry chestnuts was already spread on the ground. Qiao Ran immediately picked up the chestnuts on the ground and threw them into the space.

Anyway, your space has a freshness-keeping function, so it won’t go bad as long as you put it in. You can take it out slowly to eat later!

It wasn't until she felt that she had picked up a lot of chestnuts that she picked up the hoe and dug along the yam vine. Sure enough, she dug out a wild yam as thick as a baby's arm.

Qiao Ran didn't waste any time, threw the hoe into space, took the yam and two chestnuts out of the forest, and returned to the stream.
