There was only one pill, but it was this one that put a smile on Ying Qingci's face.
"Miss Ying, what is this?"
Bai Heng was not far from Ying Qingci. As soon as he raised his head, he saw the smile on Ying Qingci's face. He was stunned and took a step forward calmly.
His eyes fell on what Ying Qingci was holding, and he frowned in confusion.
This is just a small thing. You can't tell what it is. How can Miss Ying be so happy?
"This is chestnut."
"Chestnut?"
Before Bai Heng could speak, Wang Sihai walked over with confusion on his face. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Ying Qingci with burning eyes.
"Miss Ying, could this satisfy my hunger?"
"Um."
Ying Qingci nodded, "However, I don't know what animal brought this chestnut here. It may be from the mountains, or it may be brought from elsewhere. So, Mr. Wang, it's better not to get too excited for the time being." "
"Yes." Wang Sihai nodded, but he couldn't hold back the smile on his face. He quickly ordered the people around him to "hurry up and find what Miss Ying has in her hand."
"yes!"
Bai Heng and others took the order and were about to look for it, but were stopped by Ying Qingci.
"Baitou, please wait a moment."
"girl?"
Ying Qingci smiled and then explained, "This chestnut may look a little different from what you imagined, so be careful when looking for it."
"good."
"Dried chestnuts are brown on the outside, while chestnuts that are not yet dry are green on the outside. In addition, its shell has many spike-like protrusions, so you cannot handle it easily, otherwise it will hurt your hands..."
"okay, I get it."
Bai Heng was shocked that there was such a plant. In the past, they would not have taken it seriously.
However, although he was shocked, he did not show it. After saying goodbye to Ying Qing, he turned around and left.
Wang Sihai reached out and touched his chin, his eyes fell on Ying Qingci not far away, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
She is indeed the person that the Lord likes. With her courage and knowledge, she is enough to kill many noble ladies in Kyoto instantly.
Everyone explored carefully and searched around for more than half an hour. They found traces of chestnuts in a place inside the mountain. Bai Heng quickly ran to notify Ying Qingci and the others.
"Sir, Miss Ying, there is something discovered over there."
Ying Qingci and Wang Sihai heard this and walked over quickly.
As soon as she passed by, Ying Qingci saw a tall chestnut tree, which was full of chestnuts and a lot of fruits scattered on the ground. Her eyes were filled with joy.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Captain Bai, take the people and look around again. There should be other chestnut trees around here."
There were a lot of them on the ground, and they were scattered very messily. She noticed with sharp eyes that there were also chestnuts on the hillside not far away.
I think there should be chestnut trees there too.
As expected, Bai Heng waved over not long after he arrived there.
"Miss Ying, there is a large chestnut tree on the hillside here!"
With that said, he walked back excitedly.
Surprise flashed in Ying Qingci's eyes.
"Great, there's no shortage of food here." Wang Sihai also walked around in excitement.
Ying Qingci recovered quickly, and her eyes fell on them, "Be careful not to hurt your hands when taking out this chestnut. The thorns on its body are very hard, and they will stick into your hands if you are not careful."
"When removing, you can step on their shells with your feet, or use a wooden stick to open the chestnut shell and take out the fruit inside."
A group of agents listened attentively.
If they had some objections before because they brought Ying Qingci with them, then after they finished eating Ying Qingci's dried meat and saw her abilities, they now only have admiration for her.
The police are also human beings. Many of them are farmers at home and know the importance of these chestnuts to ordinary people.
Now that Ying Qingci has found this, if word spreads in the future and the people know about it, they can find these things to satisfy their hunger and avoid starving to death when there is really no food.
While talking, Ying Qingci was already spinning around.
Most of the trees growing here are chestnut trees, some big and some small, but even the small trees have a lot of chestnuts on them.
As for the older chestnut trees, the chestnuts on them will bear more fruits.
Calculating based on these numbers, I think those refugees will not be hungry during this period. As for the future, it depends on Master Wang's arrangements.
She found an open place and cleaned chestnut shells on the ground. While others were not paying attention, she stuffed some of the chestnuts into her own space.
They even dug out a chestnut tree sapling that had just sprouted from the side.
She put it into her own space at lightning speed, and when she had time, she went in and planted it.
After working for a long time, she also had a lot of chestnuts in her basket, and there was a small pile in the space. She looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. She found an open place and sat down.
"Master Wang, it's getting dark now. This place is not deep within the inner circle. There shouldn't be any wild animals, but we can't be careless."
Almost everyone in Nanning Prefecture knows that there are ferocious beasts in the mountains behind Qingyang Village. Because of this, fewer people go up the mountain.
Now, they are also on the mountain. Although they have not heard any movement here, for the safety of their lives, they have to take precautions early.
Wang Sihai pondered for a moment and nodded, "Bai Heng, everyone will be on alert in a moment."
"yes!"
They definitely couldn't go back tonight and had to spend it here. Ying Qingci happily accepted it. Over there, Bai Heng lit a fire and called her.
"Miss Ying, come over here and warm yourself up by the fire."
Although it is hot during the day, it is now night and the cool air in the mountains is relatively strong. If there is no fire, it is easy to catch a cold.
"Well, we just happened to find so many chestnuts today. Let's roast some chestnuts and eat them later."
"That's a good feeling."
Although he found chestnuts, he didn't know how to eat them. Now that he heard Ying Qingci's words about eating chestnuts at night, how could he not be excited?
Ying Qingci stood up and was about to find some unprocessed chestnuts from the side, but Bai Heng stopped her. "Miss Ying, if you have any orders, just tell us."
Ying Qingci wanted to roast chestnuts for them to eat. How could they, a group of big men, take advantage of Ying Qingci's small advantage and stay where they were without doing anything?
"good."
Ying Qingci did not refuse. The workload was huge, so he could just let them go. "Then you go pick up some chestnuts in shells."
"There are actually many ways to eat chestnuts, but the most common ones are boiled or roasted when there is no water..."
