Chapter 403: Green Walnut

Previous Chapter

After all, in the eyes of the Hu family, walnuts are mountain goods.

It is the most abundant mountain goods, and it is something that can be seen everywhere in Walnut Village, and there are many on the mountain.

Even the merchants who came to collect mountain goods used to buy some, but now they don't want to buy these back.

Not to mention cheap, it's not easy to sell, and it's not manual to pull it back, so there's no need to buy it if there's no profit.

It can be seen that walnuts are too common.

Hu Tao was labeled as worthless by the Hu family, and naturally he would never expect that walnut to sell for a few taels of silver.

Not to mention a few taels, it is a few tens of a catty, or a few pennies a catty, for their Hutao Village, it is enough to be satisfied.

Besides, can the walnut of ten taels be an ordinary walnut?

The Hu family present all felt that it must not be an ordinary walnut.

Li Xiufeng saw that no one listened to him, and he said so much, but no one believed it, and he was suddenly a little unhappy.

She made up her mind that she would find hundreds of walnuts to open everyone's eyes.

Zhao Yue is also a fiery character, she thinks that Li Xiufeng will not lie, after all, Feng'er went to the county town with her aunt, this is a fact.

What kind of place is that, O county town? Where every inch of land is valuable, it is impossible.

Zhao Yue believes that not to mention a few taels of walnuts, it is the kind of herb that Chai Shuiqing said, and it is possible to have one piece for ten taels of silver.

She is absolutely convinced.

Zhao Yue hurriedly squeezed to Li Xiufeng's side, pulled her and said, "When are we going to go up the mountain?" I don't want any walnuts, so I'm going to find the herbs that Dani said can be sold for money. ”

Li Xiufeng didn't care if she couldn't find the walnuts, and the walnuts all over the mountains were not hers.

But she didn't know about medicinal herbs.

Li Xiufeng turned her head to look at Chai Shuiqing with a look of anticipation.

That look made Chai Shuiqing amused, and raised his chin towards her: "The mountains here are higher than ours, and there should be more wild beasts, so we have to listen to the elders." ”

If she didn't have a system, Chai Shuiqing would never dare to go deep into the mountains and forests alone.

Not to mention beasts or anything, but all kinds of poisonous insects or something, it is enough for people to bear.

Zhao Yue leaned over and actively asked for advice on the appearance of firewood and green herbs.

Li Xiufeng went to pester Zhao and Zhao Kangping, asking when he could set off into the mountain.

Because they mentioned Hu Tao, as soon as the Hu family heard it, the grandmother of the Hu family waved her hand and said, "That thing is easy to say, just let your aunt go and get a basket and come back." ”

It's just a worthless walnut, and the Hu family's grandmother doesn't think it's a big deal.

But in addition to Li Xiufeng's Hu Tao, she also wants to go to the mountains to have a look, and it is best if she can choose it herself.

But as a guest at someone else's house, the host opened her mouth like this, and she didn't want to ask for the mountain strongly.

Li Xiufeng's lost look fell on the eyes of Zhao and Zhao Kangping, and they all smiled.

Although Hu Qiao has been married for more than ten years, he grew up in Hutao Village, and Hu Qiao is not unhappy at all when he picks walnuts and is arranged.

She carried the basket and was about to go out, Zhao Kangping saw this, hurriedly chased after it, forcefully carried the basket on her back, and the two left side by side.

The grandmother of the Hu family saw that the relationship between the two was so good, and she was also happy for them.

As soon as Hu Qiao left, everyone didn't have anything to talk about, and they talked about it at the dinner table.

The grandmother of the Hu family is going to rest, and the others are also going to the ground, and the children of the Hu family dare not make trouble at home, lest they make noise to the guests, so they disperse to find friends to play.

The Zhao family and the others were arranged to rest in a room, but everyone couldn't sleep.

There is still a lot of furniture in the Hu family's house, although the room is not big, but the furniture is all available. 20

Perhaps because of the proximity to the mountain, the furniture materials of the Hu family are not bad, but their craftsmanship is much rougher, and there are no tricks in appearance.

Chai Shuiqing saw several kinds of wood, mostly mahogany, and unconsciously sighed that the people of Hutao Village were guarding Baoshan without knowing it.

Only these timbers, if served properly, are also a lot of income.

It takes at least a few years for the trees to grow, and if you cut down a tree every year, you will plant more trees every year, and in the long run, you will not cut down the mountain, and even more and more will be in the future.

"Da Nizi, you came to the right place this time, a lot of the materials used by your Grandpa Li and Third Uncle are sold from them."

In fact, the in-laws of the mother's family, what do they say, sometimes they are half sold and half given.

Because the Hu family is sincere, the Zhao family will make up more in this matter.

However, the life of the Zhao family can only be regarded as passable, not starving to death, but there is no extra food. So usually, the people in the family are asked to bring some things to the Hu family, which can be regarded as bartering.

Chai Shuiqing saw several carvings in the house, as well as bamboo weaving products.

Zhao's words made Chai Shuiqing a little moved: if she bought wood with the Hu family, it should be much more convenient than finding it herself.

Thinking of this, Chai Shuiqing's mind became lively, and he couldn't help but think deeply.

Li Xiufeng was very bored, but she didn't expect it to be too quiet, she fell asleep upside down, and she slept with a small snoring.

It's also because I talked for too long last night and slept late.

Zhao looked at Chai Shuiqing, who was sitting obediently and contemplatively, and then looked at his own daughter who was sleeping crookedly, and suddenly felt that these two people could still play together with different temperaments, and it was really difficult for them to be girls.

However, in less than a cup of tea, Hu Qiao and they returned.

Zhao Kangping happily poured a basket of walnuts into the open space in the yard, and then knocked on the door to let Li Xiufeng come out to pick up the expensive ones.

These words naturally made fun of Li Xiufeng.

Li Xiufeng was sleeping sweetly, feeling cooler in the mountains, and actually slept very well.

But as soon as he heard that Hu Tao had brought it back, he was thrilled and hurriedly got up.

Walking outside, Li Xiufeng saw that those walnuts were not big.

The green-skinned walnuts were not at all what she saw, Li Xiufeng grabbed her hair, and didn't know how to do it for a while.

Chai Shuiqing looked at those walnuts, and he was sure that they were all wild.

The wild ones are not big, and there are many wild insect eyes, and there are many crooked melons and cracked dates.

There are very few people who have to pick the right one out of this.

Seeing that Li Xiufeng didn't move, and Zhao Yue had already started to ask how to eat, there were no children of the Hu family at home, and adults didn't care about Hu Tao's affairs, so naturally no one stayed in the courtyard.

Chai Shuiqing picked up a walnut and sent it to Li Xiufeng: "Pick first, pick the one that is not black, not broken, and has no insect eyes." ”

Such walnuts will not be too bad even if they are dug up.

"Then we have to remove the green skin, remove the outer skin, and then slowly remove the core crevices little by little. After processing, wash and dry with water, and after doing these, you can wrap them up and dry them for seven days, and then take them out. ”

As he spoke, Chai Shuiqing took out a carving knife from his sleeve and peeled it off.

Li Xiufeng felt that this was not difficult, so she also brought a stool over and peeled it off neatly.

Zhao Yue was embarrassed to let go, so she could only bite the bullet.

The courtyard was quiet all of a sudden, and the Zhao and Hu clans in the house secretly opened the window a few times, confirming that the children were very interested and serious, but they did not stop them.

Originally, this trip was for Hu Tao.

When Li Xiufeng didn't clean a single walnut, she had no patience.

"Dani, is this possible?"

After she kept asking dozens of times, Chai Shuiqing handed over the clean walnuts in her hand.
