Chapter 33 Carrying 150 pounds and walking 40 miles

In the early years, when there was no food in the famine, people had the tradition of digging rat barns to find food.

It's just that most of the rat bins dug by people at this time are house rat barns or vole bins.

There are not many people digging in the mountain rat barn.

The reason for this is that it is difficult to find the mountain rat hole, and the second is because the mountain rat stores winter food, which the mountain mouse can eat, but people may not be able to eat it.

But the mountain rat warehouse in front of Yang Zhen was different.

Because they live in wild hazelnut forests, the winter food stored by these mountain rats is all wild hazelnuts!

Yang Zhen pulled for a while and weighed it.

I feel like there are about 20 pounds of hazelnuts!

These hazelnuts are not like the hazelnuts that you beat yourself.

Not to mention the outer shell, there are many deflated shells.

I often beat a bunch of hazelnuts by myself, peel them out and pick out the deflated shells, and I am afraid that less than half of the rest can be eaten.

The hazelnuts in the rat barn are different.

In order to save space, the mountain rat will not only gnaw off the outer shell before mopping, but also carefully select each hazelnut.

Therefore, if any hazelnut can enter the mountain rat barn, it must be full, and there will be no deflated shell!

That is to say, there are about twenty catties of hazelnuts, except for a little rat feces and other things mixed in it, and the rest are almost all good hazelnuts that can be eaten!

"Director Cheng gave hazelnuts a price of three cents a catty!"

"These twenty hazelnuts, that's six dollars!"

"A mountain rat barn dug up six dollars......"

Looking at the hazelnut forest in front of him, which covered half of the mountain, Yang Zhen smiled with joy, and said in his heart that he was going to send it......

When you are in a good mood, you are full of energy.

Yang Zhen's small hoe was swung upside down.

In two or three days, Yang Zhen dug forty or fifty rat holes and dug out more than a dozen or twenty rat barns.

Most of the hazelnuts in it are not as many as those that were dug out of the first mouse's barn, but they are all gone.

Almost all of them are over ten pounds.

The total amount of hazelnuts scavenged out is enough for two large bags, and the total is afraid of one hundred and seventy or eighty catties, so the harvest ......

If it weren't for the fact that I would have to go to the 504 Institute in two days, I would have to deal with these hazelnuts for fear that they would not be able to sell.

In addition, wild boars have been found in this hazelnut forest, which seems to be suitable as a place to trap wild boars.

For the sake of money, Yang Zhen was afraid that he would have to bring disaster to all the mountain rats in this hazelnut.

First, put all the hazelnuts in the stream and wash them several times, and clean up the mouse feces, rat hair, impurities, etc. floating on the water.

Then boil a large pot of water, pour the hazelnuts into the pot and roll them to sterilize.

Then pour it out to dry, and the hazelnuts will be considered ready.

It was too cold, and time was tight.

It's not easy to dry these hazelnuts just by drying them.

Fortunately, it is difficult for Yang Zhen to do this.

After making a few frames of gold panning, the fine sand that washed the sediment came back and put it in the cauldron for a while.

The steam in the fine sand is boiled dry, and the hazelnuts are poured into the fine sand.

Because of the conduction of fine sand, hazelnuts are not easy to be directly scorched due to fire temperature and other reasons, but will be directly dried and cooked.

Raw hazelnuts are nutritious and mellow.

But this fried hazelnut also has a different taste.

Before it was ripe, the fragrance of fried hazelnuts drilled straight into his nostrils, making Yang Zhen couldn't help but suck in his saliva.

I didn't care about the heat, so I had already grabbed a handful and came out to satisfy my hunger.

After eating for a while, Yang Zhen found a problem, that is, although the hazelnuts that had nothing to add were fragrant, they always felt a little less delicious.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhen thought of the honey given by Hou Tianming.

There wasn't much honey in the first place.

In addition, honey is one of the few nutritional products he has now.

In order to grow up, he has to scoop a small spoonful of water and drink it every day to supplement his nutrition.

Because of this, there is only one bottom of the tank of honey left, and there is not much left at all.

But now, Yang Zhen can't care so much.

Pour all the honey into the fine sand and stir-fry with the hazelnuts.

Stir-fry and taste again.

Although there is too little honey, there is almost no sweetness to eat.

But the dried fruit aroma of fried hazelnuts has an extra fragrance of nectar, and when you eat it in your mouth, it is called an endless aftertaste, and the delicious food is simply unstoppable.

Because I'm not going to dig the rat barn again.

Yang Zhen didn't plan to sell all of these fried hazelnuts.

Instead, he left more than forty pounds.

Thirty catties of them are going to be sent home together when the money is sent, so that his mother and younger siblings can also taste it.

In addition to giving Huang Guizhen a little bit to satisfy her own cravings, the rest was given to Zhang Lu.

After all, although Cao Jianjun is not a thing, the remaining few educated youths in the educated youth point are not bad.

Especially Zhang Lu, who has taken care of him a lot in the past two years.

There is something to eat and drink, of course Yang Zhen has to think about it.

As soon as he woke up, Yang Zhen went on the road with a few heavy bags on his back.

Hearing the knock on the door, Huang Guizhen, who was already groping in the house and preparing to leave, had not opened the door, so he had already said quietly: "Yang Zhen, what are you selling today, why is it so fragrant?" ”

"Hazelnuts!"

"And it's fried with honey!"

While Yang Zhen responded, he opened the door and stuffed it over, letting Huang Guizhen taste whether it was delicious or not.

"It's so delicious!"

"I didn't expect this hazelnut fried with honey to be so delicious!"

"If I had known, I should have made some hazelnuts and fried them myself!"

Saying this, he took a few catties of hazelnuts from Yang Zhen, and said a few words as usual, you see that you should keep it for sale money, my family is not short of these and the like now, Huang Guizhen noticed that Yang Zhen's back was a lot taller, and said in surprise: "How many hazelnuts have you made, there are so many!" ”

"Not in detail!"

"But I guess it shouldn't be less than one hundred and fifty pounds, right?" Yang Zhendao.

"One hundred and fifty pounds, oh my God!"

"It's so snowy, so heavy, how did you carry it?"

Huang Guizhen felt distressed when she heard this, and then Yang Zhen found that Huang Guizhen's dried fruits, pheasants, and rabbits were really not lighter than his own.

And listen to Huang Guizhen's meaning.

The things she collected this time were more than just those in front of her.

It's just because I'm worried that Yang Zhen only comes out once every half a month, and she can't memorize so much at one time.

Therefore, I have secretly run 504 twice two days ago, and I have memorized a few times to hide it.

When he went out of the mountain, Yang Zhen doubted that he was carrying this one hundred and fifty or sixty catties to 504.

Even if you go to Hongxing Village, you may not be able to hold it.

The reason why I was able to recite it in the end was because there was no other way than gritting my teeth and reciting it.

Huang Guizhen should be the same.

Because the back was too heavy, the two hardly had any communication along the way, just rushing to the road.

Halfway through the journey, Yang Zhen felt that water seemed to be dripping from his crotch.

But fortunately, it finally managed to survive.

Anyway, when Yang Zhen put down his back and lay in the woods, looking at the 504 Institute not far away.

He felt like he had accomplished an incredible miracle.
