Chapter 34
Chilies and Chestnuts
The scent was faint but alluring. Su Binglan froze when she detected Luo Jin’an’s scent. She paused for a second and then bandaged him as if nothing had happened.
Su Binglan asked Luo Jin’an to put his s.h.i.+rt back on when she got done bandaging him. “You’re injured. It’d be best if you just wait for me here. I’ll go behind the mountain to take a look on my own.”
Luo Jin’an stood up and said, “I’m coming with you.”
Under Luo Jin’an’s insistence, the two went toward the back of the mountain.
As Su Binglan walked deeper into the mountain, she saw a patch of red in the distance. She took a closer look and discovered a bunch of red chilies.
When Su Binglan saw these chilies, she became excited.
“Those are chilies. They’re chilies.”
She hadn’t expected to find chilies here. Everything would be easier if Su Binglan had chilies, as she could make various dishes with them.
Apart from seasonings, she could make shredded pork with chili oil and make a lot of money by selling it.
It would be convenient for Su Binglan to open a hotpot restaurant during the winter with chilies.
Before Su Binglan were many chilies, but she looked like she had found a hidden treasure.
Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan’s excited expression and was confused when he heard what she said about those plants.
When Su Binglan excitedly went to pick the chilies, Luo Jin’an walked up to her and grabbed her hand. He then said, “You can’t eat these things.”
Su Binglan was stunned. “Why do you say that?”
“The villagers here said that these red fruits are poisonous and that eating them will cause severe poisoning.”
Luo Jin’an was from a wealthy family and had never lived in a village before, so he took the villagers’ words to heart.
Su Binglan listened to Luo Jin’an’s solemn words and contemplated. Chilies were spicy, and the villagers here might not know how to enjoy them. If they ate chilies directly, they probably wouldn’t stand the spiciness and a.s.sume they were poisonous.
Su Binglan smiled and said, “Believe me, this plant is edible. When we get home, I’ll make sour and spicy shredded potato. You’ll then learn that this chili is delicious.”
After Su Binglan said this, she continued to pick the chilies.
Seeing Su Binglan’s actions, Luo Jin’an went over to help.
Su Binglan said, “You’re injured. Don’t move around so much. I can do it myself.” But her words fell on deaf ears.
Luo Jin’an reached up to high places that Su Binglan couldn’t and helped her pick the chilies there.
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and said, “I can do it. Why don’t you help me hold the basket?”
“Okay.”
The two worked together and filled the basket.
The Sun was starting to set. If Su Binglan had come here alone, she might’ve still walked in to see if there was anything else she could find. However, on account of Luo Jin’an’s condition, she decided to head home.
The next day, she would bring a bigger basket and fill that with more chilies.
As they headed back, Su Binglan suddenly spotted a chestnut tree.
“A-Are those chestnuts?”
Su Binglan’s eyes lit up again.
‘Behind the mountain was truly a treasure trove.’
If Su Binglan picked these chestnuts, she could consume them. She could also fry the chestnuts. If there were any leftovers, she could sell them in town.
Su Binglan was so excited that she immediately started picking the chestnuts. If it weren’t for Luo Jin’an, she could’ve stored away many things in her pocket dimension.
When Luo Jin’an wasn’t paying attention, Su Binglan had managed to stow away several things in her pocket dimension, so there was still some s.p.a.ce left in the basket. She put some chestnuts in it.
Luo Jin’an was silent from the beginning to the end. He was in deep thought as he watched Su Binglan pluck the chestnuts.
