The soil quality here in Qingshui Village was originally good, and now with the nourishment of the soil spirit beads, the things grown are particularly delicious and fragrant, just take this tender corn as a thin skin, juicy, crisp and sweet, can be eaten raw, the thin skin will be broken as soon as you bite, the fragrant juice overflows the teeth and cheeks, and the raw and cooked food is particularly sweet and crispy, and it is like the fruit corn that has been eaten in the previous life. Yao Huang boiled the tender corn in water, and all the more than 20 corns were eaten, Yao Qing ate six alone, and the dinner was directly saved. However, at Xiao Ke's strong request, Yao Hong still made a bowl of sweet cold noodles for each person. The cold powder scooped up from the well is bubbling with a hint of coolness, poured with brown sugar water, and then spread with a layer of crispy crushed peanuts, delicious!

"Second sister, let's go up the mountain tomorrow to hunt walnuts!" Yao Qing finished eating the cold powder in one go, wiped his mouth and asked Yao Huang.

"Are the walnuts ripe?" Yao Huang hadn't been up the mountain for a while, and he didn't know that the walnuts were ripe. The walnut grove is on the mountain beam west of Luodan Mountain, no one knew the correct way to eat walnuts before, and after gnawing the green skin of the walnuts, they felt bitter and astringent, so no one had the idea of beating walnuts again. It wasn't until Yao Huang discovered this walnut forest and told him the correct way to eat it, that the villagers would go up the mountain to eat some at home when the walnuts were ripe. The walnut forest is not small, enough for the whole village to share, and each family harvests enough walnuts to eat for a whole year.

"It's ripe for a long time! Erhuzi asked me out two days ago, but unfortunately it didn't pass in the seventh half of July, and his father forbade him to go up the mountain. Yao Qing said.

"Okay, tomorrow we will go into the mountains to hunt walnuts together!"

Early the next morning, the two sisters and brothers came to the entrance of the village with bamboo baskets and bamboo poles, and Yao Qing's younger brother Atul was already waiting here. Atul's mother remarried a widower from another village. With strong labor at home, life is getting better and better. Nutrition kept up, and the kid jumped a lot taller. is taller than Yao Qing, and his body is also a lot stronger. Yao Qing liked this little brother very much, and taught him and Erhuzi profound martial arts - not the top martial arts in "Sword Three", but the martial arts collected by Yao Huang from Jin Yong's world. The high-end martial arts in "Sword Three" can only be learned by the Yao family. After waiting for a while, Erhuzi and his sister Yingzi walked out with tools.

"Erhuzi, are you oversleeping again?" Yao Qing saw Erhuzi's hazy sleepy eyes and gave him a fist.

Erhuzi smirked: "I was so excited yesterday that I couldn't sleep." ”

"Isn't it just beating walnuts? As for it? Yao Qing rolled her eyes.

"Didn't I never shoot walnuts?" Erhuzi said.

Yao Huang found that the walnut forest did not last long, and only some villagers went home after collecting some walnuts. The war began, and the mountains were occupied by displaced people, and the villagers could no longer go into the mountains to hunt walnuts.

"Okay, don't make this aggrieved look, let you fight enough today!" Yao Qing greeted Attu and asked him to help him carry the bamboo pole and take the lead to walk up the mountain.

"Ah Qing, wait for me!" Erhuzi hurriedly followed.

Yao Huang and Yingzi looked at each other and smiled, and walked behind the three boys.

"Erya. This knot of yours is so pretty! Yingzi looked at Yao Huang's wishful knot hanging on his waist and shoulders, and said enviously.

"Do you like it? To you! After Yao Huang finished speaking, he was about to untie the knot.

"No, no!" Yingzi hurriedly waved her hand, "I want to make it up myself." Can you teach me? ”

"Yes, it's very simple, why don't you come to my house when you have time. I'll teach you! ”

"Thank you!" Yingzi happily thanked her, she had a certain foundation for knots. Then he asked, "This knot is made of a combination of fried sauce and grass knots, right?" ”

"yes. The four fried sauce herbs represent all the best! Yao Huang said with a smile.

"A scholar is amazing, even a small knot can say auspicious words."

“……”

Talking and laughing all the way, after walking for half an hour, the five of them saw the fruitful walnut forest.

"That's a lot!" Erhuzi swallowed his saliva, "I will definitely be able to eat enough this year!" ”

"Look at your little bit of talent!" Yao Qing said with disdain, "But you're right, with so many walnuts, we will definitely be able to enjoy it!" ”

"Ah Qing, that's what you are talking about walnuts?" Atul joined the village later, and he didn't know how to eat walnuts, "Its fruit is hard to eat, don't be deceived by its appearance." ”

Yao Qing and Erhuzi Ha Lu Ha laughed, Yao Qing patted Attu's shoulder and smiled: "Stupid Atul, of course we know that the green skin on the outside of the walnuts is not delicious." Tell you, when you eat walnuts, you have to eat the innermost walnut kernels. That's the essence of the whole fruit, which is not only delicious, but also good for the body. ”

"Is it medicine?" Atul asked, confused.

"No, but walnuts have very good medicinal value, which can strengthen the stomach, nourish blood, moisten the lungs, and nourish the spirit."

"Ah Qing, you know so much!" Atul worships authentically.

Yao Qing smiled hesitantly and secretly glanced at his second sister, which was told to him by his second sister. Yao Huang just smiled and didn't expose his younger brother.

"Hit the walnuts!" Yao Qing shouted. I saw him stomp his foot, jump up three feet high, and land on the branches of a walnut tree. Atul and Erhuzi's light skills were not as high as him, and the two of them jumped up a foot high with their legs, and their toes landed on the trunk of the tree a little more, and then jumped a little higher, looking at a solid branch to stand still. The three of them waved the long bamboo pole in their hands and crackled at the walnuts, and the walnuts fell like rain. Fortunately, the sun had risen for half a day, and the morning dew on the branches and leaves had evaporated and dried, so that the clothes of the people standing under the trees would not be wet by beating walnuts.

Yao Huang pulled Yingzi and the tree where the three boys were standing to distance themselves so as not to be hit by the falling walnuts. After a while, the ground was covered with round walnuts and yellow and green leaves. Walnuts are about the size of an egg, and most grow in pairs and side by side, but also individually. The green skin on the surface of the walnut is smashed when it hits the ground, and juice flows out, which will stain people's hands black and make it difficult to wash off. In order to prevent their hands from being dyed black, Yao Huang and Yingzi broke two short branches and sandwiched the walnuts into the bamboo basket one by one like chopsticks to pick vegetables.

The three boys didn't take care of their hands like girls, the three of them jumped down from the tree, and didn't care about the juice staining their hands, they peeled off the green skin on the outside, pinched it hard, and the hard peel on the outside was pinched and cracked, and then peeled off the underwear that was as thin as a cicada's wings, revealing a white and tender flesh. Put it in your mouth and chew it slowly, it is tender, crispy and sweet, and the fragrance is incomparable...... While Yao Huang and Yingzi were picking walnuts, the two boys couldn't stop eating, and it didn't take much effort to accumulate a bunch of walnut shells on the ground.

"Stinky boy, don't just eat, hurry up and help!" Yao Huang shouted.

A walnut tree has to make several baskets of green-skinned walnuts, and after five people have picked all the walnuts on the ground, the five bamboo baskets are full. At noon, five people ran down the mountain with bamboo baskets on their backs, and it was just time to go home for lunch. (To be continued......)
