"Can I go in?" Standing outside the fence made of tree branches, Li Dong asked the girl in the courtyard, he wanted to know more about the situation in the village, this girl was articulate, simple and kind, and was undoubtedly the most suitable person.

The girl raised her head, brushed the strands of hair that had fallen behind her ears, and when she saw that it was Li Dong, she smiled and said, "Come in." As he spoke, he pointed to the courtyard door.

The so-called courtyard gate is a few wooden planks nailed together, and it is still open, in fact, no matter the fence or the door, it can not play the role of shielding, the fence is not high, the wooden door is a hole, their existence is more like a symbol, a symbol of dividing the boundaries of each household.

Li Dong walked in, the girl was sitting on the bench and smashing walnuts, there was a thick stone slab in front of her, this kind of stone slab can be seen everywhere in the bluestone river, there is a nail-sized pit in the center of the slate, the girl only needs to put the walnut that has not been peeled off in this small pit and stand up, and then smash it with a hammer, and the hard walnut will be smashed open.

Compared with the thin-skinned hand-peeled walnuts, this kind of pecans are very hard, but its nutritional value is also higher, but it is more troublesome to eat, smashing the walnuts is only the first step, and you also need to use an awl to dig out the walnut kernels little by little, which is very time-consuming.

"Sit, sir. The girl brought a stool, wiped it with a handkerchief, set it aside, and continued to smash walnuts.

Li Dong didn't say anything polite to the other party, and sat down directly, and the other party had already smashed out a small pile of walnuts, but they hadn't picked them yet.

"Why are you just yourself?" Li Dong asked curiously, "What about the people in your family? Why didn't they come to help you? You alone can't pick out much in an afternoon." ”

The kernels in the pecans are not only small, but also few, if you want to pick out two or three catties, you can't do it without half a day's work, but now many people recognize this thing, thinking that it is highly nutritious, especially pregnant women eat it, and the children born are smarter than ordinary children.

"My parents went to the mountains to collect medicine and came back in the evening. The girl said, not at all wary of Li Dong, and answered whatever she asked.

"You're alone, even if you hit it at night, you won't be able to pick it out much. Li Dong looked at the bag of walnuts next to him and said, "That's it, it's just that I'm fine, I'll smash it, you pick it." ”

"Sir, no, no, how is this good? you are a guest, how can I let you do this?" the girl hurriedly shook her head.

"You're welcome, I'm friends with Gensheng, and I know his grandfather. Li Dong said to the girl.

"Do you know Brother Gensheng?" the girl looked at Li Dong suspiciously.

"Why, don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can call Gensheng, after you left just now, I chatted with him and made an appointment to come to his house to eat fish tonight. Li Dong said with a smile, proving that he was not lying.

The girl believed Li Dong's words a little, and then thought that she was smashing and picking alone, and she was really too busy to pick out many walnut kernels, so she moved to the side, and handed the hammer in her hand to Li Dong, "Sir, then I'll trouble you, but you have to be careful, don't hit your hand, and don't be jumped." ”

"I don't use a hammer. Li Dong picked up an unsmashed pecan from the ground, and with a slight pinch of his two fingers, the hard pecan instantly split in half along the middle line, just as easily as peeling a walnut with a thin skin.

Yes?

The girl was stunned, pinching and peeling walnuts by hand was nothing, but pinching pecans, let alone seeing them, she had never even heard of them.

Li Dong threw the pinched walnuts into the cardboard box on the side, and said to the girl, "Look, how simple this is." ”

Simple?

The girl looked at Li Dong stupidly, simple, simple, you are a walnut.

If it's that simple, what kind of effort does she have to use a hammer to pinch here, she can't just pinch it, but the question is, can anyone crush it?

Could it be a coincidence?

Could it be that the walnut that the other party just got has a crack in itself?

The girl thought to herself.

There are a lot of people picking walnuts in the village, when the family conditions are not good in the past, they all go to the mountains to pick up, they can sell, they can eat, but for so many years, up to the strong man, down to the youth, the pecans are all used with a hammer, and I have never seen them pinched by hand.

The girl moved the sack containing the pecans to Li Dong's side, and Li Dong stretched out two hands this time, one in each hand, and with two "clicks" and "clicks", they were all broken.

Belch......

You can't be dreaming, are you?" thought to herself.

"Pick it up. Li Dong looked at the girl and said,

"Ahh

Pinching walnuts is really nothing to Li Dong, let alone pecans, even if they are pebbles, he can also crush them.

The girl secretly aimed at the man next to her while picking the walnuts, only to see the other party pinching walnuts in a variety of fancy ways, some pinched normally, pinched with the thumb and index finger, some pinched abnormally, pinched with the index finger and middle finger, and three walnuts with four fingers, at most one hand pinched eight, finger sewn four, four in the palm, the pecans in the sack are getting fewer and fewer, and the broken walnuts in the box are more and more, and the walnuts in the sack are gone.

“……”

The girl was speechless, this was too fast, she had just picked a small bowl of walnut kernels, and the other party had already pinched out a sack of walnuts, and if she went to smash it, she had to smash it until it was dark.

"Is that enough?" asked Li Dong.

"Enough, enough. The girl hurriedly said, this box of walnuts is enough for her to pick all night, "Thank you." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture. Li Dong said indifferently, he watched the other party pick half a walnut and half a walnut with an awl, and felt that it was still too slow, so he picked up half of it from the box, broke it with both hands, and the hard shell was broken, and then peeled the shell little by little along the exposed walnut kernel, just like peeling a walnut by hand, and soon, half a walnut kernel appeared in Li Dong's hand.

The girl had been shocked by Li Dong's strength in pinching walnuts just now, and now when she saw the other party peeling pecans so easily, the whole person was shocked.

Pecans, can you still peel them like this?

With the addition of Li Dong, now even picking walnut kernels has become faster, and not only is the speed fast, but the walnut kernels are also very complete, one by one shiny, and soon a bowl is filled.

A sack of pecans may not be able to be picked overnight, but with the help of Li Dong, it was completed in less than two hours.

The girl carried two plastic bags of walnuts to Du Gensheng's house.

"Brother Gensheng, the walnut kernels have been peeled, a total of eight catties. The girl said.

"What? so fast?" Du Gensheng was frightened, didn't he say no? Didn't he say that he was going to smash it now? It wasn't dark yet, so he peeled off eight pounds?

"Brother Gensheng, this is thanks to your friends, without the help of your friends, you can't peel so much. The girl stretched out her hand and pointed to Li Dong behind her.

"Friend?" Du Gensheng looked at Li Dong, how could he let Boss Li peel walnuts? "Xiaoyue, this is Boss Li of the Oriental Miracle!"

"What?"
