With the arrival of autumn, the black blind man has entered the busiest period. In addition to the crops in the field that are about to be harvested, when all kinds of mountain goods are collected and harvested, it is obvious that the manpower is a little insufficient.

The seasonality of mountain goods is too strong, let's take the wild vegetables in the beginning of spring, like thorny old sprouts, that is, ten days and eight days of work, after this period of time, it will be old; Another example is all kinds of mountain fruits, the picking period is relatively short. In this regard, Sister Lin has the most experience, and her favorite sorghum fruit is at most half a month.

When you are busy, you don't care about the drill, and when you are idle, you are so idle that your eggs hurt, which is basically a portrayal of the life of the black blind man.

Fortunately, now that the cooperative has been established, it finally has the appearance of large-scale production. The club divides people of different age structures into several groups: those who specialize in picking mountain mushrooms, those who are responsible for picking mountain fruits, and the medicine picking team led by Li Daming.

The busier it gets, the more chaotic it is, and the number of tourists in this harvest season has also increased significantly. There is no way, it is all the good publicity of Sister Lin, and the reputation of the black blind man has gradually spread, so tourists want to take advantage of this month to draw some good things, such as trying real mountain mushrooms, and it is best to get some unique mountain fruits to bring back.

Tourists represent money, and besides, rejecting tourists is not the hospitality of the black blind man. In the end, Li Xiaopang made a decision: simply organize the tourists, take what they like, and follow the villagers to work together, which can be regarded as a newly developed tourism experience.

Early in the morning, Li Xiaopang woke up to the sound of Big Gray and Little Gray knocking on the window, and opened the door to put two squirrels: Hey, Big Gray and Little Gray each held a heavy big pine tower, which seemed to be a very laborious posture.

"Finally, there are pine seeds to eat again!" Li Xiaopang happily snatched the pine tower from the big gray's little paws, the size is really not small, it is bigger than Li Xiaopang's slap, heavy, and the surface is slightly green, obviously the big pine tower on the red pine, no wonder the big gray and small gray are tired enough to choke, if it is replaced by an ordinary squirrel, it really can't be held.

Dangdang Dangdang knocked a few times on the edge of the kang, and the pine seeds in the pine tower fell out with a bang, each pine seed was very full, and the size was also big, almost twice as big as the pine seeds of Li Xiaopang's memory. Needless to say, this must have something to do with the three monkeys.

Pick up a pine seed, put it on your fingertips and pinch it vigorously, with Li Xiaopang's current strength, I thought that I could easily pinch the shell of the pine seed, but it turned out to be a failure, and not even a small crack was cracked.

Squeak, the big gray cry seemed to have a taste of contempt, fingertips it jumped on the edge of the kang, the little paw dexterously picked up a pine seed and stuffed it into the mouth, the big tooth clicked, the pine seed split in half, revealing the round and chubby pine nuts inside, at the same time, a fresh rosin fragrance also emanated.

Is it to compete with me - Li Xiaopang also picked up a pine seed, put it in his mouth and transported it for half the weather, and finally didn't want to bite it with his teeth, what if it collapsed, he didn't have the ability of a squirrel.

The aroma of pine seeds also attracted the monkey three, this thing was very undisciplined with the little paws to help the big gray comb the fluffy tail, and the big gray mouth was like a machine gun, suddenly spitting pine nuts, the monkey three picked up in the mouth, and was busy.

A large pine tower, Li Xiaopang conservatively estimated, can roughly produce more than half a catty of pine seeds, a large red pine, can produce hundreds of large pine towers. Even according to the rules of the black blind Zitun, picking half and leaving half of it, it is estimated that hundreds of catties of pine seeds can be produced on a large red pine. And pine seeds as big and fragrant as this have to be sold for at least thirty or forty yuan a catty. Good fellow, a big red pine can produce three or four thousand yuan!

After such a calculation, Li Xiaopang's eyes couldn't help but sparkle with golden light: just by selling pine seeds, he can get the contract fee back!

In fact, his algorithm is problematic, for other forest areas, it is impossible for every Korean pine to have such a high yield, and the pine towers are divided into years, and there are big years and small years. Generally speaking, it takes three years for Korean pine to mature from flowering to towering, that is, one year out of three years is the peak year of the tower, that is, the big year. However, the woodland of Black Blind Zitun, after special irrigation, really can't be treated with common sense. Last year, the pine tower was formed, and this year the pine tower is completely ripe, and the quality of the pine seeds is super high.

Happy, Li Xiaopang even canceled the morning exercise, went directly to Uncle Biao's house, and called the village chief and uncle together to discuss the matter of picking pine towers.

At first, Uncle Biao didn't believe it, after all, it would take three years to pick the pine tower. However, when they saw the large pine tower in Li Xiaopang's hand and tasted the fragrant pine nuts inside, everyone was also excited.

"How many years have I not climbed trees to pick pine towers-" Uncle Biao couldn't help but sigh a little, the big red pine towered for at least thirty years, and in the first few years, the pine seeds were shriveled and blind, and there was basically nothing to eat.

Uncle the village chief also nodded vigorously with a small cigarette pouch: "We have old arms and legs, but I'm afraid that we can't climb the big red pine, besides, we haven't gone up to the tree to pick the pine tower for many years, and those homes are long gone." ”

Speaking of which, the pine tower is also a high-risk occupation, and every year there are people who fall from trees more than ten meters or even dozens of meters high, and the light ones are disabled and the worst ones die.

And those big pine trees that are one or a few hugs thick are not easy to climb. The tools are also relatively simple, except for the hook in the hand, which is the foot tie on the foot. The foot ties are made of iron, put on the feet, fastened with ropes, and have a sharp spike on the side, all with which they are pierced into the pine trees and climb up step by step. Even these rudimentary tools, because they have not been used for more than ten years, are long gone.

When Li Xiaopang heard this, his high fighting spirit couldn't help but put out the fire a little, and he had small eyes for a long time: "Several big monsters in the Northeast say that the old lady climbs trees faster than monkeys, can't we young and strong young men catch up with the old lady?" ”

"That's all decades ago—by the way, speaking of monkeys, call your monkey three trees to pick pine towers." Li Da understood that he came up with a good idea, and if he wanted to talk about going up the tree, of course it was the monkey's old business, and he would leave professional things to professional monkeys to do.

Good! Li Xiaopang also slapped his thigh: "Raising monkeys for a thousand days, using monkeys for a while, it is time for monkeys to contribute." However, just rely on the little monkey, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish picking it if I'm tired to death? ”

This is a problem, the three monkeys are smart and capable, and the Caisong Tower must be fine, but the key is that it will also be tired.

However, the use of the little monkey to pick the pine tower still gave Xiaopang some inspiration, and he turned home and led Yaya and Monkey San to the forest. After a while, he turned back and shouted at the entrance of the village: "Prepare the hemp bags and go into the forest to pick up the pine tower!" ”

If you shout something important, shout it three times, and everyone in the village will be alarmed. The tourists don't know how to do it, and they are ready to follow to pick up the pine tower, urging the owner to take the sack; And most of the people in the village sighed: "Good baby, it's crazy to make money, the pine tower grows on a tree, is it so easy to pick up?" ”

Under the inquiry of the tourists, it suddenly happened, the pine tower grew on the high branches, and when it dried up and fell naturally, the pine seeds inside were all fried, and fell to the ground to become food for birds and beasts, there was no pine seed in it, you picked up the pine tower and came back to burn the fire?

So Li Xiaopang didn't say shouting three times, even if he shouted three hundred times, no one paid attention to him. Everyone is busy with their own work, who has the time to talk to him. can't say that, at least Yaya led the monkey three, as well as Xiao Gezi and Uncle Biao, all gathered under the command of the little fat man. By the way, there is also a bear baby who also came to hug Li Xiaopang's thigh. This product inherits the fine tradition of dogs and bears, and especially likes to eat pine nuts. It is important to know that pine seeds are one of the main sources of overwintering fat stored by bears. If all the pine seeds in the mountains were harvested, most of the bears would not survive the harsh winter.

Looking at the few people around him, Li Xiaopang's high fighting spirit turned off again: "I don't believe it, wait for me to get Songta back, don't drop your jaw in shock!" ”

"Uncle Chubby, let's go with you!" A loud voice came into Li Xiaopang's ears, which made him excited enough: Finally someone supports me-

Looking at the two dozen or so dolls carrying small baskets, Li Xiaopang felt that he was the one who took the life of the Boy Scouts. So he waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

In line with the principle of hitting three poles with dates without dates, Uncle Biao also sandwiched a bundle of sacks. This move moved Li Xiaopang very much: Those who know me, Li Dabiao also!

Behind the procession of the Songta Picker, there were also a few tourists who watched the excitement, mostly the elderly, mainly to go around the forest and breathe fresh air.

When the team entered the forest, Li Xiaopang patted the little brain of the monkey three: "Go up the tree and pull the pine tower!" ”

The monkey three was also addicted to eating pine nuts, and without saying a word, he climbed a big red pine with a whoosh, and soon several large pine towers fell from the tree. The bottom of the tree is relatively soft, and the pine tower is not dry, so there is no need to worry about the pine seeds cracking inside.

Seeing the flexible figure of the little monkey, the tourists couldn't help but light up: it's right to follow, people's little helpers are amazing!

A white-bearded old man also picked up a large pine tower more than half a foot long, and praised it in his mouth: "Good thing, pine seeds can prolong life if eaten." The red pine nuts in the myth, aren't you just eating this, this time I said that I would buy more and bring it back! ”

Needless to say, the nutritional value of pine seeds has the reputation of "longevity fruit" since ancient times, especially for the elderly and children, eating more than a dozen pine seeds every day can definitely strengthen the body and promote brain development. If you don't see that they are also rodents, squirrels are smarter than other rodents.

The tourists were looking forward to the little monkey getting more pine towers down, but they saw the monkey three hoops climbing down from the tree, pitifully stretching out two little paws in front of Li Xiaopang's eyes, only to see that it was stained with pine oil, slimy, and his fingers couldn't be broken.

Yes, the little monkey is afraid that he can't count on it.

The white-bearded old man just now still didn't give up: "Why don't you put a pair of gloves on the little monkey?" ”

Li Xiaopang acted like no one, and reached out to pat Yaya's watermelon head again. I saw the little girl put her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly. Soon, there was a soft noise in the trees, one, two, three...... In all directions, more than a dozen squirrels popped up.

An extremely amazing scene appeared, only to see those squirrels scurrying on a big red pine, their light bodies dexterously scurrying on the branches, and when they saw the pine tower, they bit it off, crackling, and it was like a pine tower rain on the tree.

"Okay, okay, take half and leave half. You little guys get all the pine towers down, and you'll be able to eat for yourself when the time comes! Li Xiaopang yelled under the tree, but who cared about those squirrels. In the end, Yaya whistled again, and the army of squirrels rushed to the next red pine.

Looking at the big pine tower all over the ground, Li Xiaopang couldn't help grinning, and he couldn't stop laughing: "I said that picking up the pine tower, that is, picking up the pine tower, who still doesn't believe it-"
