Chapter 496 Picking Pine Nuts

The next day was a Saturday, and there was no need to send the little girls to school. Zhang Taiping exercised his body and then gave Ye Ling some advice on how to practice. After that, nothing happened at home.

The matter of decorating the sedan chair was left to Cai Yazhi and the others, and Zhang Taiping walked towards the village chief's house to discuss with Wang Gui and others about building a pig house.

Interlaced lines are like mountains, this is not something that can be done by imagination, even old man Qian, the bricklayer in the village, is a little helpless, he must be just building a square or something in the village, like this, there must be a lot of equipment installed in it I have never built a pig house, and I have no experience and dare not make a big deal.

In the end, I asked Wang Gui to contact a construction team in the city, and told them all the requirements, and asked them to complete the construction of the pig house. Although this would definitely cost more than building it by ourselves, it was better than insurance. It is not easy to make mistakes, and the world must rely on this for food.

Then the first thing to do is to choose the address of the pig farm.

Several people wandered around the village and checked the terrain a few times before choosing the wasteland to the east of the threshing field.

This wasteland is full of stones, and there are two piles of stones, so there is no way to grow crops.There are two advantages to choosing this land. One is that it belongs to the undivided land of the village, and there is no dispute. The other is that it is next to the threshing field, which is relatively convenient for transportation.

Zhang Taiping also talked about the problem of the drainage pipes under the pig house and the construction of the biogas tank, and the engineering team also took over.

By the time I got home after finishing these, it was already past the time for lunch.

"Is there anything to eat?" Zhang Taiping asked as soon as he returned home and sat on the bench. It was not because he was physically tired, but mainly because he needed to be careful and cope, and felt tired.

"Yes, I ate dumplings at noon. If you can have some, I'll go over and make them for you." Cai Yazhi put down what she was busy with and went into the kitchen.

Naturally, she was busy with the sedan chair.The sedan chair has been almost decorated, all of which are based on joy. On the front is an embroidered pattern of dragon and phoenix crossing, and then hang those curtains made of broken jade.There are also two strings of wind chimes hanging on each of the eight corners of the sedan chair, which will leave a ringing sound along with the running of the sedan chair.

Not long after, Cai Yazhi came out with a small half bowl of dumplings.The dumplings at noon were stuffed with big meat and radish and those filled with egg and radish. The ones for Zhang Taiping were of course stuffed with big meat and radish.

Radish is definitely a good thing. There is a saying that "radish in winter is better than ginseng", and it is the most delicious to make dumplings.

Zhang Taiping took one bite at a time, and it took a few minutes to finish his stomach.

This is when Xiaoyaya and Xiaotiantian came in from the outside, ran to Zhang Taiping and asked, "Father, what are you eating?"

Zhang Taiping smiled unconsciously, and stuffed a dumpling into the mouth of each of the two little girls.

He asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Yaya said honestly.

"Didn't eat at noon?" Zhang Taiping thought they had eaten, "What did you go?"

"I went to the mountain." As she spoke, the little girl took out the things hidden behind her and showed it to Zhang Taiping.

It turned out to be two pine towers, one layer after another, like a small tower, the upper flaps of which have been cracked.

Yaya took out a handful of pine nuts from her pocket and said, "This is the pine nut in the pine cone. It is edible, even better than melon seeds." She put a handful of pine nuts into Zhang Taiping's hand.Tian Tian also took out a handful of pine nuts and put them in Zhang Taiping's hands.

Cai Yazhi also found the figures of the two little girls, came over and said a few words before entering the kitchen again.

After Cai Yazhi entered the kitchen, Yaya lay on Zhang Taiping's lap and said, "Father, let's go to the mountain to pick pine nuts."

Zhang Taiping smiled and nodded in response: "But you two have to eat before going."

The two little girls Mengbushui nodded: "Call Wukong again, he will be the best at climbing trees."

The two little girls were anxious, so Cai Yazhi got impatient after serving them dumplings, and they all fell into Zhang Taiping's stomach.

After eating, he greeted Cai Yazhi, led the two little girls, and called out Wukong who was watching TV in the house. What was rare was that Xiao Zi and the big-tailed squirrel, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, were also at home today. These two little girls Things are good at picking pine cones.Naturally, two big dogs, Lion and Grimace, followed.

There are pine trees everywhere on the mountain, and the pine cones are also extremely prosperous. Zhang Taiping took two snakeskin bags and a pole.

When going up the mountain, I placed the two little girls on the left and right shoulders, but they still seemed to be walking on flat ground without any effort.

"Okay, let's stay here." Zhang Taiping walked into a pine forest, put the two little girls down and said.

Most of the pine trees in the Qinling Mountains are evergreen. The forest where Zhang Taiping and the others are now is an evergreen pine forest. Not to mention that it is green in mid-autumn. emerald green.

Following Zhang Taiping's words, Wukong Xiaozi and the big-tailed squirrel all stopped.Wukong jumped down from the tree and stood beside Zhang Taiping, while Grimace and Lion first went into the forest to see the terrain and danger.

After the two big dogs came back from patrolling around, Zhang Taiping took out a pine cone and gestured towards the three main officers.

Wukong was as clever as a child, so he immediately understood what Zhang Taiping meant, he climbed up the tree slowly, picked the nearby pine cone and threw it down.

Although the two little things are not as smart as Wukong, they quickly figured out what their master meant. They reached the tree in a few jumps, and they were still in a high position where Wukong couldn't reach. They didn't need claws, just a small mouth As soon as the son bites, the pine cones will rain down.

"Wow, there are so many!" The two little girls shouted happily, and then turned into two dancing butterflies and shuttled under the pine tree.

Zhang Taiping didn't do anything, just lit a cigarette and watched the two little girls busy.

The three guys who lived on the trees all the year round were very efficient in doing this kind of thing. It didn't take long for the ground to be covered with pine cones, which were just a few nearby trees.

Zhang Taiping shouted: "Okay, that's fine."

Wukong stopped after hearing Zhang Taiping's shout, but instead of going down the tree, he picked a pine cone and sat on the tree to enjoy it.

However, the two little beasts came down from the tree, and the tree with a height of more than ten meters was no different to them.Surrounding the two little girls, he also used his small mouth to help pick up the scattered pine cones, making them giggle.

After picking up all the pine cones, it looks like a hill, so two snakeskin bags can't fit so many.When the two little girls were not paying attention, they waved their big hands and took more than half of them into the space.

It just happened that Wukong, who was looking over from the tree, saw that this guy had an ingenuity that was not inferior to others, and immediately realized that something was unusual, he threw away the pine cone in his hand and slipped down from the tree.Then he looked left and right around Zhang Taiping, but he couldn't see why, so he scratched his head anxiously.

"Zhizhi." Wukong pointed to Songta and Zhang Taiping.

The two little girls didn't understand what happened to Wukong, but they also found that the pine cone was much less.Yaya asked in amazement: "Father, why are there so few pine cones?"

"Let Wukong steal it." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

"Did you steal Wukong?" Yaya was successfully distracted and began to torture Wukong.

Wukong waved his hands again and again, during which Bai pointed at Zhang Taiping, meaning that he did a good job.

Yaya naturally wouldn't believe what Wukong said, imitating Fan Ming's example, she poked Wukong's forehead and said, "It's fine if you don't admit it, and you're still slandering Dad, huh!"

Wukong looked at Zhang Taiping, and saw Zhang Taiping was standing beside him laughing, so he scratched his head with a bitter face, feeling that he had been wronged, very wronged.

Zhang Taiping looked at them for a while and said, "Okay, quickly put these pine cones into the bag, we should go down the mountain, otherwise your mother will have to worry again when it gets dark."

The remaining two bags were just full, Zhang Taiping put the two little girls on his shoulders, picked up the two bags on the shoulder pole, followed by a few small animals, and rushed down the mountain.

The little girl knew how to be considerate of her father, so she leaned into Zhang Taiping's ear and said, "Dad, why don't you let the lion carry me and the grimace carry Tian Tian, ​​okay?"

Since ancient times, there have been children in the village who rode pigs when they were young, it rained when they grew up and got married, it rained when they rode sheep, it snowed when they rode sheep, and what happened when they rode dogs and cows.But Zhang Taiping knew that this was just what people said, there was no reason in it, and he didn't need to care about it at all, so he nodded and agreed with Yaya's statement.

He stopped and called the two big dogs to his side, and first put Yaya on the lion's body. The lion was now about the size of Grimace, like a calf, and it was natural to carry a weight of [-] to [-] catties. No problem at all.

He put Tian Tian on Grimace's back, and then hid the two little girls and said, "Hold the dog's neck, and be careful not to drop it. Don't let go after filling it, or it will be a gourd."

Carrying the little girl on their backs, and getting orders from Zhang Taiping, the two of them didn't run very fast, but barely walked in front of Zhang Taiping.

When they got home, the two little girls still refused to get off the big dog's back, and went to the village to show off before returning.Now, I am so envious of those boys and little girls, they respect and fear the three big dogs in Yaya's house, how can we not make them envious that the little girl can ride on the back of the big dogs.It's a pity that their own native dogs are too small to carry them at all.

There is no one sleeping on the kang connected to the stove in the kitchen. It is too hot to sleep on the kang, so it is still idle for the time being.Zhang Taiping put two bags of pine cones on it and spread them out, and he can peel off the pine nuts when they dry tomorrow.

Fan Ming took a pine cone and put the pine nuts into his mouth while asking, "Brother, why didn't you call me when you went up the mountain?"

Zhang Taiping said: "I didn't see you at home at two o'clock."

"Oh, I was at Da Nier's house after two o'clock. She came back last night." Fan Ming said.

"Then I can't help it, I don't know where you are." Zhang Taiping spread his hands and said.

Fan Ming stopped entangled in this issue, tasted the pine nuts and said, "It tastes good, better than melon seeds."

Pine nuts, also known as pine nut kernels, sea pine nuts, etc., are not only delicious food, but also a good food therapy. Therefore, they are called "longevity fruit" and are highly praised by doctors and nutritionists of all ages.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" states that it is "sweet in taste and nourishes the blood. If the blood is sufficient, the five internal organs will moisturize themselves, turn white and not be hungry. Immortals take it and eat it more, so they can prolong life and lighten their body without getting old."And it is also recorded in "Da Sacrifice Ula Zhi Dian Quanshu", that the Qing Palace once listed pine nuts as an imperial food.Its nutritional value can be seen.

What most people can't imagine is that pine nuts are extremely rich in vitamin E, which can be said to be the champion of all nuts.The main effects of vitamin E include beauty, anti-aging and other effects, and it is the closest friend of the majority of women.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Eat more if it tastes good. Eating too much of this food will have a beauty effect."

Fan Ming didn't have much joy on his face. He looked at the pine nuts in his hand, which were smaller than the lotus seeds, and asked, "This doesn't have the same side effects as lotus seeds, does it?"

Zhang Taiping knew that she was frightened by persimmons and lotus seeds, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "On the contrary, this thing has the effect of detoxification and laxative, plus the effect of beautification, for women It's really good stuff."

"This one?" Fan Ming finally showed a surprised expression.

Zhang Taiping nodded.

After seeing Zhang Taiping's affirmation, Fan Ming showed joy on his face, and then reincarnated and ran out.

Zhang Taiping didn't know what she was doing, just smiled and shook his head.

There are many kinds of delicacies made with it, most of which are exquisite snacks.I saw a lot of methods on the Internet before, but I seldom come into contact with pine nuts, so naturally I have no chance to try it. Now that I have pine nuts, I have the opportunity to make some delicious food for children.

After a while, Fan Ming came in and said, "I checked on the Internet, and you are right." Then he asked, "When will these pine nuts be available?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "This season is basically dry, you only need to bake it here for another night, and tomorrow you can take it out and beat it with a stick."

"That's good." Fan Ming said, and then said as if remembering something, "I'm at Da Nier's place today, the melon seeds she brought back from the city have several flavors, creamy, spiced, etc., but It's delicious, can our sunflower seeds have this taste?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Yes, as long as there are seasonings, if you want to eat it, I will go to the city in two days to buy something and come back to fry it. Even the pine nuts can be prepared in the same way."

"Okay, okay." Fan Ming naturally agreed with both hands.

Zhang Taiping entered the space at night.

It is difficult to peel the pine nuts out of the pine cone outside, but there is no such problem in the space, and all the pine nuts will float out of the pine cone with just a thought.

Cai Yazhi next to her said pleasantly: "Ah! There is also this function. Doesn't it mean that you don't need to peel the corn in winter, just put them in the space and let you peel them off automatically?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "That kind of battle is too big, I don't want people to explain it."

Cai Yazhi also came to her senses, if all the bracts were peeled overnight, it would be strange if people didn't doubt it.She immediately dismissed the idea, keeping secrets was the most important thing in his mind.

This time in the coming year, I didn't stay in the space for too long. I just planted the peeled pine nuts on the barren hills beside the grassland and came out.
