Patches of pine trees, oppressed by heavy snow, pine cones fell all over the ground.

There is a precedent for yams, and Wen Xian feels that there must be a lot of pine nuts in these pine cones on this ground that can be eaten.

She picked up a pine cone at her foot and smashed it open, and a small and fat plump pine cone fell into the palm of her hand.

With a "click", Wen Xian peeled out the white fat little pine kernel, and sure enough, it was a healthy color.

The familiar smell of pine nuts burst in her mouth, and Wen Xian felt the taste of home again.

She spread out her hand, handed the pine nuts in her hand to the others, and said happily: "Quick, try them all." ”

If she remembers correctly, the people here don't know that pine nuts are edible, and they don't sell pine nuts.

Sheng Li'er and Fang Jiaren are both loyal fans of Wen Xian, and they did not hesitate to follow Wen Xian's footsteps and began to peel pine nuts and eat them.

Sheng Li'er commented while eating: "It's sweet and delicious." ”

Fang Jiaren pondered for a moment and then said, "Like peanuts and walnuts, but finer than these two. ”

Anyway, it was something she hadn't eaten before. But she hadn't eaten much, and Madame had taken her to eat many times.

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows: "Of course, this thing is delicate, if you take it out and sell it, I'm afraid it will have to be sold more expensive than walnuts and peanuts." ”

In previous lives, nuts were already in the category of expensive things, let alone pine nuts.

Seeing that Xue Xiaohua didn't move, Wen Xian handed the pine nuts to Xue Xiaohua again, raised her eyebrows and said, "Taste it?" ”

Xue Xiaohua sneered, learning their movements, first biting the pine nuts, and then peeling them off and throwing them in their mouths.

She hadn't eaten any nuts and didn't know what walnuts and peanuts tasted like. But she has tasted the taste of pine nuts now, and it is indeed delicious.

Thinking like this, she also nodded honestly and praised: "It's delicious." ”

"It's delicious." Wen Xian patted her shoulder and smiled, "Okay, there are so many pine cones on the ground, let's start quickly." Peel the pine nuts directly, and when they are almost loaded, then load some pine cones back as firewood. ”

It's not that she doesn't want to put all the pine cones back, but this pine forest is at least one acre, and there are too many pine cones to be finished.

It is estimated that the people on Sun Island do not know the goods, so since the pine cone grows, no one has ever come to beat the pine cone.

In the past, only Orion, or the men from those families on Sun Island, would come to this location.

And most of them go into the mountains to hunt, and they don't think about picking up pine cones, or smashing them open to see what is inside and whether they can eat it.

Therefore, it is now cheaper for Wen Xian, who knows the goods.

Xue Xiaohua thought that she had to avoid suspicion and couldn't grab pine nuts with Wen Xian. So, she made a special trip to the other side. A little away from Wen Xian, he began to smash the pine cones on the ground to pick up pine nuts.

And on Wen Xian's side, there is Sheng Li'er, a strong man, and the speed of digging pine cones seems to be extremely fast.

It was just past noon, and Wen Xian's side had already loaded a basket and a half with pine nuts alone.

But this half-basket of pine nuts has only removed less than one-tenth of the pine cones in this pine forest.

There are still nine-tenths of pine nuts left, so many that I can't finish picking them up for a while.

Wen Xian simply asked Sheng Li'er and Fang Jiaren to directly fill the pine cones, fill up the three back baskets, and go back to eat before continuing.

And Xue Xiaohua's side, because she has been doing carpentry all year round, her hand strength is not small, and she even loaded a half-back basket of pine cones.

She also learned Wen Xian's movements, and loaded the remaining half of the basket with pine cones that had not been smashed, and waited for her to deal with it when she returned.

It's just that before leaving the mountain, Xue Xiaohua made a special trip to Wen Xian and said, "Sister Wen, it's enough for my family to have this basket of pine nuts." For the rest, Sister Wen doesn't have to worry about me, she can do whatever she wants. ”

It was only one morning, and she had already understood that Sister Wen and her family were definitely not ordinary people.

Sister Wen knows a lot, not only taught her to recognize yams and mushrooms, but also took her to beat pine nuts.

This morning's harvest is more than the previous year's harvest.

Although Sister Wen didn't say it, she couldn't be insatiable. She is very satisfied to get what she is today.

Wen Xian saw her resolute attitude, and didn't say anything else, so she agreed immediately. It's a big deal, she will send more things to Xue Xiaohua later.

After telling Xue Xiaohua about the processing method of pine nuts, several people sped up and rushed home.

When Wen Xian returned home, Jiang Jingwan had already led someone to make lunch.

They had stir-fried spinach, steamed yams, and bacon and mushroom soup for lunch today.

Just, although not so perfect, but edible.

The yam is steamed soft and glutinous, and with some sugar, it is unexpectedly delicious.

Among them, except for Wen Xian, everyone else was eating yam for the first time.

This time, it captured the hearts of many women.

After the meal, Wen Xian handed over the pine cones to the people at home to deal with. By the way, he also asked Fang Jiaren to stay, and took the people at home to fry the pine nuts.

Pine nuts can be eaten raw, but after being fried, they have a different flavor and can also be used as a snack for wine.

She was going to wait for Zhu Qing to come back in a few days, so she sent the pine nuts to him to try to see if he wanted to buy them, or if he was willing to put them in his restaurant to sell them.

After explaining this, Wen Xian took Sheng Li'er and Hu Ke'er up the mountain to continue to beat pine nuts.

She also wanted to call more people to go with her, but there were too many people to catch her eye. Besides, so much work at home also needs people.

Until before dark, Wen Xian and the three of them went back and forth twice, and came back with three baskets of pine nuts and three baskets of pine cones.

Today, however, these add up to only one-third.

However, it is dangerous to enter the mountain at night, so I can only wait until the next day to continue.

After that, for two consecutive days, Wen Xian took two people into the mountains every day to hunt pine nuts, and it was not until noon on the third day that she finally finished beating the pine nuts in the entire pine forest.

In the mountains, Wen Xian didn't ask for the pine cone husk left over from the pine nuts, as long as she didn't hit the pine cone.

Therefore, there are many pine cones scattered in the pine forest.

It was also on the third day that when Wen Xian went down the mountain, she met Uncle He, who had gone to Death Island to pick them up.

Uncle He looked at the pine cones in her back basket, and said anxiously: "Miss Wen, what are you doing with so many pine cones." This thing is not resistant to burning, but it is better to collect firewood. ”

He went to sea after returning from Death Island, and when he came back today, he heard his family talking about Wen Xian going to the mountains to carry pine cones for three days in a row.

No, when you look at them going down the mountain, hurry out and remind them that don't do useless work.

For Uncle He, who has met a few times, Wen Xian is extremely polite and patient.

She explained softly: "Don't worry, Uncle He, I won't take it back and burn it." No, we watched the squirrels eating the contents of the pine cones before, and we also wanted to pick them up and eat them. Although the amount is small, it can satisfy your cravings. ”

The pine nuts on the mountain have already been picked up by them, and if they want to pick them up, they can only wait for autumn.

There was no one else around on the left and right, so Wen Xian whispered this to Uncle He.
