Chilies and Chestnuts


    The scent was faint but alluring. Su Binn froze when she detected Luo Jin’an’s scent. She paused for a second and then bandaged him as if nothing had happened.


    Su Binn asked Luo Jin’an to put his shirt 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’ming with you.”


    Under Luo Jin’an’s insistence, the two went toward the back of the mountain.


    As Su Binn 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 Binn 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 Binn 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 Binn to open a hotpot restaurant during the winter with chilies.


    Before Su Binn were many chilies, but she looked like she had found a hidden treasure.


    Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binn’s excited expression and was confused when he heard what she said about those nts.


    When Su Binn 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 Binn was stunned. “Why do you say that?”


    “The vigers 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 vige before, so he took the vigers’ words to heart.


    Su Binn listened to Luo Jin’an’s solemn words and contemted. Chilies were spicy, and the vigers here might not know how to enjoy them. If they ate chilies directly, they probably wouldn’t stand the spiciness and assume they were poisonous.


    Su Binn smiled and said, “Believe me, this nt 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 Binn said this, she continued to pick the chilies.


    Seeing Su Binn’s actions, Luo Jin’an went over to help.


    Su Binn 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 ces that Su Binn couldn’t and helped her pick the chilies there.


    Su Binn 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 Binn hade here alone, she might’ve still walked in to see if there was anything else she could find. However, on ount 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 Binn suddenly spotted a chestnut tree.


    “A-Are those chestnuts?”


    Su Binn’s eyes lit up again.


    ‘Behind the mountain was truly a treasure trove.’


    If Su Binn 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 Binn 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 Binn had managed to stow away several things in her pocket dimension, so there was still some space 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 Binn pluck the chestnuts.
