Mountain
Mrs. Liu: "Today, the village organized everyone to look for mountain goods, and after handing over some of them to the team, they can keep some of them."
Liu Yimiao: "Sugar-fried chestnuts taste good, chestnuts can be picked a little more."
Mrs. Liu: "Your aunt likes to eat, you can pick more" Several children nodded in obedience.
Liu Yimiao also went up the mountain with her, she thought that the people in the village still had a lot of food not enough to eat, these mountain goods were on the periphery of the mountain, and everyone dared not go in the mountains, and these things were distributed to each household for more than 100 catties. Shelled even more.
Liu Mei and the others had also come to the mountain to collect mountain goods before, and they knew where there were many chestnuts, so they took Liu Yimiao over. There were already villagers picking up chestnut balls that had fallen under the trees.
Liu Yu was more clever, he immediately climbed the tree and patted the chestnut branches with a bamboo pole, Liu Yimiao and Liu Mei picked up chestnuts under the tree, Liu Yu and Liu Tu went to another chestnut tree to pick up, and after a while, a few people packed a few sacks. These look too much, go back and peel off the ball thorns on the outside, and there are only a few chestnuts left. These ball thorns can also be used for cooking when they are brought back. Chestnut has the effect of tonifying the kidney and spleen, strengthening the body and bones, benefiting the stomach and liver, and eating more chestnut is good for the body. Chestnuts can also be stewed with chicken, made into chestnut cakes, etc. Liu Yimiao asked them to call the adults over first to carry the things down, find someone to look at the chestnuts, and a few people went to look for walnuts again.
There is a layer of green peel on the outside of the walnut, and after picking it off, use a knife to remove the green peel to make the walnut inside. The green skin is easy to dye the hands black, and there are no plastic gloves here, so you can only peel them directly. Walnut kernels are rich in nutrients, so although it is troublesome to peel and pit, you still have to try to get as many walnuts as possible, and the price of this is also very high at the purchase station. So Liu Yimiao's family also tried to pick as many as possible.
After everyone finished picking the chestnuts and walnuts, they were ready to go home, and Liu Yimiao wanted to find out if there were any yams. This is a good time to dig yams. Yams grow at altitudes of 350 to 1100 meters above sea level, mostly on mountain slopes, valleys, forests, roadside shrubs, streams and weeds. Yams are widely distributed, and they also grow in Fujian, so there must be yams in the mountains here. Liu Yimiao and Liu Yu described the shape of the yam and the place where it grows, and everyone looked for it together. Liu Yu saw it in one place and pointed it out to Liu Yimiao to see if it was true, Liu Yimiao looked at it and nodded, "This is the yam, good guy is one meter long, you look for it again, there must be one nearby, this thing is a piece of everything." Later, everyone looked for a lot one after another, and Liu Yu ran home to ask his father to come and get the yam away.
After Liu Aiguo came, he also knew that yam was a good thing, so he followed to find it. The hard work paid off, and finally found another piece, and everyone dug it together. It is estimated that there is only so much for this piece of land, and the yams add up to three hundred years, which is enough to eat. After everyone carried the things down the mountain, Liu Yimiao said to Mrs. Liu: "This yam has high nutritional value and high medicinal value, and pharmacies and purchasing stations will definitely buy it, so you can let the villagers pick some of it, and you can eat it at home." Yams can be ground into powder, cut into slices and dried, and can be stored for a long time. "At noon, everyone ate fried pork slices with yam, and the taste was very good. Mrs. Liu also gave Liu Gen a bowl and explained the benefits and distribution of yams. Mrs. Liu gave a yam to Liu Gen and asked the villagers to pick it.
Liu Yimiao reminded that "yams should not be eaten with carrots and bamboo shoots, carrots and bamboo shoots contain vitamin C decomposition enzymes, which will destroy the vitamin C in yams." Yam has an astringent effect, so people with dry stools should not eat it. "There are no bamboo shoots and melons at this time, but some people still have carrots, so make it clear in advance.
Everyone was very interested in yams, and they were looking for yams all over the hillside. Not to mention, I really found a lot of yams in so many mountains, adding up to more than 2,000 catties. The villagers went back with a smile on their faces, but there was a shortage of food at this time, and the yam tasted good. Liu Gen is a more practical person, he went to other villages and told the head of other villages about this, don't just pick chestnuts and walnuts, this yam is also a return thing.
"Ding, the host activates the hidden task: find the food task 1000 catties. Reward: 100 pounds of peanut oil, the reward has been sent to the system backpack"
Liu Yimiao feels that this system not only makes him more diligent and lives a good life, but also makes everyone's life better, this system should be called a good person system......
Liu Yimiao said: "Mom, our family collects so many yams, let's give some to the old lady in the city." Mrs. Liu thought that last time, she gave 20 catties of kudzu powder, and the old lady gave 100 catties of white noodles; This time I gave twenty catties of yam, I don't know what she gave......
Mrs. Liu still asked Liu Aiguo to go with her, and Liu Yimiao invited Liu Aiguo to eat a meal of white noodles, which is also what Liu Yimiao can invite at present. Liu Yimiao asked Liu Aiguo to wait for her in the alley last time after eating. She went to the pharmacy to sell yams again. It's the same last time the old man visited the store alone. Liu Yimiao doubted that the pharmacy was opened by this old man. The price of this yam is not low, because it is wet, it was sold for three cents per catty, and six yuan for twenty catties, as well as a catty of food stamps.
Liu Yimiao finished selling the yam and brought out two barrels of oil. The system is still relatively reliable, this oil is not in a plastic barrel with a logo, it is a wooden barrel. I don't know what material this wooden barrel looks better and is very light, because Liu Yimiao picked up the barrel and estimated that it was more than fifty catties and one or two catties when he touched the barrel with oil.
Liu Yimiao came out with two wooden buckets, Liu Aiguo didn't think it was two buckets of water, still didn't ask anything, and the two of them went home.
Mrs. Liu saw that this oil was also very rare, and she didn't feel a special lack of oil because she had meat to eat. Nowadays, people use gauze to drip some oil around the pot and stir-fry. In previous years, some rapeseed was planted on the self-reserved land, and peanuts or beans could also be used to extract oil from the oil mill for some money. This year, all the plots have been planted with corn or potatoes, and every household is short of oil to eat.
Mrs. Liu: "You have to study hard, you will have so much oil to eat after reading"
The rest of the children nodded their heads. My aunt is too capable, and I got so much oil back, how nice would it be if the rich people recognized me as my goddaughter/son......
Mrs. Liu asked her daughter-in-law to share twenty catties of oil for each family, and now she can have a good year.
