Chapter 17: Picking Acorns

They are all big children who grow up in the mountains, where there are oak trees in their hearts, and there are diligent people who have carried them home several times.

There are also people who came with slightly better conditions, such as the Zhang family.

"The third uncle and third aunt also came to pick up acorns?" Before I could get closer, someone greeted me.

The people in the village knew that the processing method of this acorn was given to the village by the Zhang family, which was equivalent to giving them a way to live.

So I am very grateful to the Zhang family, and they didn't wait for the family to approach.

"yes, I liked the acorn noodles I ate yesterday, so I'll pick up some and save them." The old man replied.

"Yo! I said the third master, your family is not short of food, and you still come to grab this bite of food with us? ”

A snarky voice sounded behind him, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was the lazy Song. This product is also unusual, and it actually came up the mountain today.

"This mountain belongs to the village, and whoever picks up the things on the mountain belongs to whom. Why can't I pick it up at home? Seeing that it was inconvenient for his in-laws to deal with his juniors, Tang took the conversation.

"Besides, this acorn noodle was made by my mother-in-law with great painstaking efforts.

I also gave the recipe to the village, so that you can learn how to make acorn noodles, why can't we pick it up? Our family is easy to talk to, but our family is easy to bully? ”

Seeing that the Tang clan was full of firepower, the Song clan walked away stupidly.

The village chief's daughter-in-law heard Song say those unpleasant words again, walked a few steps, and led everyone to other places.

"Third uncle and third aunt, don't mind the two brothers and sisters, the Song family doesn't like what he says, don't pay attention to that bad thing.

There are many acorns here, and there are few people, so let's pick them up here. "The village chief's daughter-in-law is decent, and the women in the village will ask her to judge if they have any small disputes. It is equivalent to the existence of the current women's director.

After a little episode, everyone quickly picked up the acorns on the ground, just like the acorns would run if they picked up slowly.

And the naughty boy climbed up the tree and shook the branches vigorously, and suddenly it rained acorns under the tree.

The faces of the villagers finally showed a smile that they had not seen for a long time.

Around mid-afternoon, on the periphery of the Great Black Mountain, the acorns were almost all picked.

Each family picked up at least one or two hundred catties, and there were even more people who were more diligent and diligent.

Don't look at the small acorn particles, but the powder yield is very high, and one pound can produce six or seven taels of powder.

The people who picked up hundreds of catties of acorns had hundreds of catties of food, and everyone's faces couldn't hide their joy.

Before going down the mountain, the village chief's daughter-in-law explained to the villagers and said: "The periphery of the big black mountain is almost picked, and there are the best partners who want to go to the mountain to pick up, and it is best for the whole village to be together."

Find a few clever sentry posts, notify the villagers if there is danger, and never act alone. ”

There are wild beasts in the Great Black Mountain, and everyone in the village knows that the village chief's daughter-in-law is afraid that the villagers will risk going into the mountain alone for the sake of stuttering, and they will explain it over and over again.

"Okay, if you want to go into the mountains to pick it up, you will gather at the village chief's house tomorrow morning.

Anyone who has a guy in the house has a little bit of it, and if there is a real beast, he can resist it.

There were a lot of people who went, maybe the beasts came and brought us meat to eat, haha...... "A tall man, nicknamed Gazi, led the leader, and everyone agreed with his statement.

"Don't go to the elderly and children at home, and the fruits picked up today at home can be processed and stored conveniently." The village chief's daughter-in-law reminded again.

The Great Black Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and according to the old people in the village, no one can pass through the Great Black Mountain, and there are countless wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the depths of the mountain.

In the past, wolves and wild boars also went down the mountain in disaster years, harming the dealer and killing many people.

Therefore, the people in the village rarely go to the depths of the Great Black Mountain, and only collect firewood and dig wild vegetables on the periphery.

There are more than 40 families in the village, more than 600 people of all ages, although there are many people, but there are also many oak trees on the mountain, Han Yun's family is a laborer, and they also picked up three or four hundred catties of acorns a day.

After going down the mountain and arriving home, uncles and aunts from the village came to Wang to learn how to make acorn noodles.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and the people from the village are learning and helping at the same time, and in just over an hour, all the acorns at home have been peeled.
