"Alas, although the villagers all want to build roads, everyone has just paid a few hundred yuan in taxes, so how can they have extra spare money to build roads." Yao's mother shook her head and said.

Hearing this, Lin Yao frowned slightly, and bowed his head slightly thoughtfully, yes, the villagers of this Peach Blossom Village are still too poor, if only there was any work that could make them earn more money.

Thinking about Lin Yao, his eyes suddenly flashed, by the way, this morning when he and Xiao Moyao were picking chestnuts in the back room, they saw some hazelnuts and pine nuts, hazelnuts everyone loves to eat, fried crispy and crispy, but most of the hazelnuts grow in the inner part of the mountain, and everyone dare not pick them, but these pine nuts are everywhere in Peach Blossom Village.

People here dislike that the pine nuts are too small to stuff their teeth, and the unripe pine nuts have an annoying smell of pine oil, so the people of Taohua Village turn a blind eye to the pine nuts all over the mountains.

In this case, I can teach them to fry pine nuts and sell them, this is about to enter winter, it is when every household gets together to eat melon seeds, this pine nuts are fried and crispy pine, it must be very popular with those big families in the town, so that the villagers will also make a lot of money, and they will not worry about the lack of money to build roads.

Thinking about it, Lin Yao told Yao's mother and Xiao Moyao his thoughts, and led them to the bottom of a pine tree next to the house.

"Mother, Xianggong, there are pine nuts in the pine tower of this pine tree, and it is the best to eat it when it is fried, let's pick some and fry it and bring it to the villagers to taste, if they agree to sell it, it is estimated that they can make a lot of money." Lin Yao said to them excitedly.

"Pine nuts? Is that something much smaller than a fingernail? The one that smells pungent too? Can it really be delicious? Yao's mother looked up at the pine trees hanging with pine towers with some suspicion and said.

"Of course, mother, I've eaten their fried pine nuts in the town, but they are fragrant and delicious, don't you know if we try it?" Saying that, Lin Yao turned his head to look at Xiao Moyao expectantly, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Moyao hooked his lips and looked at her and nodded, "You think it's okay, how do you pick this?" Need me to climb up? ”

Saying that, Xiao Moyao actually looked like he was eager to climb up, although the branches of this pine tree were too thin to climb, but it was not difficult for him, if Yaoyao wanted it, then he would pick it.

"No, no, no." Lin Yao hurriedly grabbed him, "This pine tower is very resistant to falling to the ground, and the leaves on the ground are also very soft, they can't be broken, you just go find a longer branch to pick them down, and she looked at Yao's mother, "Mother, let's just pick it up below." ”

"Eh, okay, my mother listens to you." Yao's mother nodded in agreement.

The three of them worked together in this way, and even Xiao Ash picked up the pine tower and put it in the back basket.

After half an hour, all the pine towers on the big pine tree were knocked down, and they went back with the baskets full of pine towers.

After returning to the yard, Lin Yao began to teach them how to take pine nuts, but it was just to open the pine tower and take out the pine nuts, so Yao's mother and Xiao Moyao learned it after watching it, and the three of them sat and worked for half an hour, and finally picked up a large barrel of pine nuts.

Then Lin Yao asked Xiao Moyao to find some sand, wash it with clean water, put it in the pot and fry it, and then poured all the pine nuts into it, Lin Yao took the spatula and stir-fried it without slackening, for fear that it would not taste good.

But after a while, there was a crackling sound and a sizzling sound of pine nut oil in the pot, and Xiao Moyao saw that Lin Yao's forehead was sweating, so he took a spatula and helped her stir-fry.

Yao's mother smelled the fragrance of pine nuts in the room, and couldn't help but take a hard breath, "Eh, Yaoyao, don't say it, the taste of these pine nuts is not pungent after they are fried, and they are fragrant, and they smell delicious, and my mother wants to taste them." ”

Lin Yao smiled and said, "It's coming, you can wait for a quarter of an hour." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Lin Yao saw that the color was almost the same, reached out and picked up a huhu and ate it, thinking that the taste was just right, so he asked Xiao Moyao to stop, and then hurriedly scooped out the pine nuts with sand.

After the three of them sifted out the sand with a dustpan together, the pine nuts were almost cool, Lin Yao grabbed a handful and handed it to Yao's mother and Xiao Moyao, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile, "Mother, Xianggong, this pine nut has been fried, you can taste it quickly and see if it tastes good." ”

Saying that, she grabbed a handful herself, put it in her mouth and ate one, and instantly squinted with satisfaction, sure enough, this pine nut is very easy to fry, it itself is full of oil, and the taste also has a rosin fragrance, which is very crispy and delicious after being fried.

Yao's mother nodded in amazement after eating it, "Ah, Yaoyao, I really didn't expect this pine nut to be so delicious? ! ”

Xiao Moyao couldn't stop exclaiming in his eyes when he ate it, this pine nut has a unique fragrance, and it tastes crispy and tender, even people like him who don't like snacks can't help but eat a few more bites.

"How about Xiao Moyao, is it delicious?" Lin Yao approached him with a smile and asked.

"It's delicious." Xiao Moyao hooked his lips and nodded.

"Great, since you all think it's delicious, then the villagers will definitely agree to make money by selling fried pine nuts, and the time is almost up, let's take down this bucket of pine nuts and tell them." Lin Yao said with a smile.

Yao's mother and Xiao Moyao also nodded when they heard this, and they both agreed.

So Xiao Moyao carried a wooden barrel and followed Lin Yao and Yao's mother down the mountain, when the three of them came to the village gate, most of the villagers had already arrived, and now it was the autumn harvest, and the villagers, regardless of men, women and children, were all discouraged.

Seeing Lin Yao and the three of them walking over with a glamorous and not tired appearance at all, the villagers were secretly envious in their hearts, this Lin family is now developed, but everyone has no jealousy, the thorny rose of the Yao girl has helped many people in the village, and the Xiao boy is not far behind, and sometimes he will send them some prey to solve their urgent needs.

Look at the Yao family, now they are also round and jade, and they are quite charming when they walk in a light purple cloth coat, and some middle-aged men can't help but swallow their saliva.

Su Shi also saw the changes in Yao's mother, and tightened the handkerchief with hatred in his heart, it doesn't matter if the dead girl becomes good-looking, it is normal for young people to raise quickly, this Yao family is in his thirties, why is his skin getting fairer and fairer, and he is dressed more and more fancy, he is really not ashamed.

She scolded Yao as a matter of course in her heart, completely forgetting the swaggering appearance of her brocade clothes and jewelry in the village every day.

The village chief squinted at them for a while, then retracted his gaze, and said to the villagers with a serious face, "Since everyone has arrived, then let's discuss the matter of repairing the road, this yesterday there was an official road repair team came to our Peach Blossom Village and was left by me, this official team is much cheaper than those private outside, and several villages next door have also repaired the road one after another, our Peach Blossom Village should not be too backward, so I advocate everyone to fund the road repair. Do you guys have any other ideas? ”

"Village chief, the village next door to the house either has an orchard project or a mountain mine, you know what the situation is in our Peach Blossom Village, not to mention that we have just collected taxes, and we really don't have the money to build roads anymore." As soon as the village chief's words fell, a middle-aged man holding a hoe shouted loudly.

"That's right, village chief, we are really powerless." Hearing this, most of the villagers also chimed in.

The village chief listened to their bitter voices, and couldn't help but secretly curse them for not being angry, every time the village chiefs gathered, he, the village chief of Peach Blossom Village, was always the one who couldn't hold his head up, because his villagers were too poor and incompetent, and now they didn't even have money to repair a road.

The Su family beside him glanced at her husband who was a little angry, and then looked at Lin Yao, who was calm and calm below, and suddenly hooked her lips with a blink of her eyes.

"Otherwise." Su Shi opened his mouth to interrupt the villagers' complaints, "It is indeed not easy for the villagers, and some families are indeed unable to get a few pennies for smashing pots and selling iron, but we can't afford to repair this road, so why don't we pay according to the amount of income, and no longer die to stipulate how much each family pays, so that everyone can afford it, how about it?" Su Shiduan said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone stopped their voices for a while, and looked at each other, Lin Yao felt her eyelids jump a little when she heard it, she looked up at Su Shi, who glanced at her, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, heh, pay according to the proportion of income? Isn't the person with the most income in this Peach Blossom Village now Lin Yao her? If you pay according to your income, it is better for her to pay all the money alone, this Su family is really a good pit for her.

"That's right, anyway, this is also to build roads for everyone, and whoever of our big guys has spare money will have a few more." A tattered woman shouted in agreement.

It's a good idea, anyway, their family is almost the poorest in Peach Blossom Village, so their family doesn't have to pay for it.

"But it's not fair to us." Some of the better-dressed villagers frowned and retorted.

"What's unfair, we have more than 1,300 people in Taohua Village, more than 600 households, and it costs more than 100 taels of silver to build roads, I have calculated, remove those families whose families are really difficult, there are still more than 400 families left, if it is evenly shared, each household will have to pay an average of 250 silver, I will first take out one or two silver as an example, you are free." Su Shi tilted his head slightly and said.

"Ah, a tael of silver, our village chief's wife is really generous."

"yes, huh? Now the richest people in our Peach Blossom Village shouldn't be the Lin family, I can go to the drunk red face a few days ago to take a look, that's really hot to the point, I heard that there have been people queuing since the beginning of the day, and just a single jar of balm can be sold for two taels of silver, I estimate, this Yao girl can earn more than a hundred taels a day, so why not take out a day's income to pay the villagers for this road repair? ”
