It is very simple to fry open pine nuts, soak them in water for 1 hour, then steam them in a pot for 30 minutes, and then fry them on low heat after ventilation and drying.

Keep stir-frying, and soon all the pine nuts will be open.

Another method is to fry directly, spread the pine nuts on the ground and pour cold water on them, and they will explode.

But this method is too challenging for the grassland people's habit of cherishing water resources, and Feng Hua did not dare to use it.

And the fried pine nuts are wet, and they have to be dried before eating, so it's not as fragrant as this.

Suder laughed as he ate.

"What are you laughing at?" Feng Hua asked.

"When I was a child, I ate pine nuts with stones, and I basically smashed the pine nuts inside into slag before I could eat them."

Qi Qige also smiled: "The second brother has a bad temper, the more broken he is, the more angry he gets, and the more angry he is, the more he smashes it." Looking at the pine nuts in his hand, he praised: "This is so convenient!" It's the first time I've eaten whole pine nuts, and it's so delicious! ”

This pine nut is so fragrant, more fragrant than all the pine nuts she has ever eaten, there is a greasy oil fragrance in the light rosin, it is so delicious, Qi Qige looked at his hands, his index finger and thumb were already oily.

Feng Hua looked at Su De, with a bad temper? I don't see it......

Alatan Cang looked at the pine nuts and said to Feng Hua: "I want to give some to the children in the village, what do you think?" ”

Feng Hua nodded in agreement, this is what she likes, and this is also the main purpose of her taking out pine nuts. Let the whole village have seen this kind of pine nuts, accept this kind of pine nuts, and the future transaction will definitely be smoother.

The four children were sent out to divide the pine nuts, and Qinggeltai was a little reluctant, but he didn't raise any objections, and just took the task assigned to him to find his friends.

After taking two steps, he became happy again, and jumped out, Feng Hua heard him shouting his name excitedly all the way.

There were only Alatan Cang and Nala left in the house, and Feng Hua said to Alatan Cang: "Uncle, before I came, my father told me that he wanted to use this kind of pine nuts as grain and exchange them for cattle and sheep with you, what do you think?" ”

Alatan Cang's eyes lit up and asked, "What's the change?" ”

"One pound for one pound."

Alatan Cang hesitated: "You pine nuts, with skin." ”

"Uncle, 1 500-pound live animal can't produce 500 pounds of meat, and only 250 pounds can be produced if the fat condition is good, not to mention that I don't think this year's fat condition is bad at all."

Whether it is a cow, sheep or donkey, this is basically the case, go to the head and tail, remove the skin and internal organs, and then remove the bones, and only the fat can produce 50% of the net meat, and the bad ones can produce more than 40%.

Alatan Cang looked at her: "Okay, it's only been a few days since you came here and you can talk to me about your feelings." ”

Feng Hua smiled, these things were all consulted by her and Su De, and now they are used on his Lao Tzu, I don't know if Su De will regret it if he knows it.

"That's not going to work either." Alatan Cang said: "We said before that we would exchange 1 catty of grain for 1 catty of live livestock. Now a pound of pine nuts with skin is not as precious as 1 pound of beans. ”

No matter how delicious it is, it is not food, and it is not hungry. Besides, the animals can't be eaten, so let them fry the pine nuts and then peel them and feed them? Dreaming?

"Beans are beans, and pine nuts are pine nuts." Feng Hua said: "It's really not okay to exchange pine nuts for wool." "This is the bottom line of Fenghua.

She also knew that the herders would not agree to exchange pine nuts for their livestock, and that the herders themselves had a harder but better life, and what they urgently needed now was beans for their animals.

"That's fine!" As soon as he heard that the pine nuts were exchanged for wool, Alatan Cang agreed without asking how to change them. There are about 6,000 sheep in their village, of which about 4,000 are sheep, and each sheep produces about 4 catties of wool.

The wool alone produces 16,000 catties of wool every year, and the output of all the people in their village in one year combined cannot be used up in a lifetime.

Every year, every year, every year......

If you don't want to exchange wool for pine nuts above, everyone will agree, so Alatan Cang is very confident in agreeing.

Feng Hua was also relatively happy, and the wool was exchanged for pine nuts, which also solved her boss problem. With such a huge amount of wool, she didn't feel distressed about how much food she had exchanged, she felt sorry for her arms and legs.

Here, she mainly exchanged wheat and beans, both of which had to be ground on stones, which was time-consuming and laborious, and much more troublesome than pine nuts.

What's more, she plans to exchange the pine tower directly, but she is too lazy to dial the pine nuts, and the herdsmen are more welcome.

......

Today it was Su De's turn to feed the horses, and after being kicked awake by Qinggeltai for the third time, Feng Hua decided not to sleep, she was going to plant pine nuts in the space.

Quietly walked out of the tent, closed the door of the house, and walked towards the outside of the village, intending to find a corner where no one was there to enter the space.

When passing by the horse pen, Feng Hua saw Su De carrying a basket of forage to feed the horses.

Pregnant mares and stallions are kept on a leash individually, some closer and some farther away. Horses are very protective of food, like dogs, some horses are smart, if someone approaches them when eating, it may not be the same thing, it seems to know that people do not eat forage.

Some are stupid and even bite people.

But for their kind, they treat them equally, and they are especially protective of food. But I also know that bullying the weak and fearing the hard, if the two horses tied very close to each other are equal, they may be fine, and if one is cowardly, then they can only eat leftovers.

Therefore, the wrangler should be familiar with the temper of each horse, and know what can be tied together and what must not be tethered, otherwise he will starve to death.

Feng Hua looked at it for a while, and Su De, who was feeding the horses, suddenly turned around, stared in her direction and shouted, "Who's there?" ”

Feng Hua was taken aback, this nerve is sharp enough. She assured that she had just looked at it and didn't make a sound, and that she had been discovered.

Feng Hua took a few steps forward and stepped into the light of the fire. Although she didn't understand the Mongolian sentence that Su De had just said, she guessed the meaning. At this time, if you hide again, it will be a little unclear.

Seeing that it was Feng Hua, Su De was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said a little embarrassed: "Did Qinggeltai kick you?" ”

"yes, 3 kicks, chain kicks."

Sud laughed for a moment and said, "Do you want to feed the horses?" ”

Feng Hua hurriedly shook her head, she was afraid of being bitten, although she believed that she could dodge it with speed, but what was she doing when she was scared.

"Okay." Su De also remembered this, he just wanted to relieve the embarrassment and had nothing to say, it was a little inappropriate to let this young man feed the horses.

At night, horses have worse eyesight, relying on their sense of smell to distinguish people, and the proximity of strangers will make them wary.

"Then, I'll accompany you to see the stars, the stars on the grassland are very beautiful." Suder said.

Feng Hua ...... For such a romantic matter, she still waited to be with Fang Yuan.

Feng Hua was about to refuse, when suddenly, the sheep in the distance commotioned. Hundreds of sheep ran at the same time, desperately squeezing out of the fence, and the other sheep in the fence were also crazy.

The sheepdog barked frantically.
