Chapter 934 The Hardworking Bee (12)

Shuttle among the vast mountains

The few people are like ants moving house. They carry all the pine nuts harvested today. The full grains are very attractive.

"Is Yiyi tired? Why don't you let me come?" Zhang Feng carried two bags of pine nuts and was still very relaxed, walking on the mountain road like walking on flat ground.

"No, now my strength is great!" Yiyi smiled slightly and clenched her fists to show her strength.

Zhang Feng nodded when he saw it, and knew that Yiyi was not trying to hold on, but was really strong. It may be because of her insistence on exercising and building gymnastics, so her physical fitness was also slowly improving. Up to now, the strength of her whole body Almost no less than the strong men in the village.

walked for about half an hour
Both Master Paoshan and the second uncle were a little tired, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

"Second uncle running to the mountain, why don't we rest here for a while?" Seeing that there is a wide view ahead and the terrain is flat, Zhang Feng suggested.

"Okay, let's rest for a while!" The two elders also followed suit, put the pine nuts on the side of the road, and then sat on the stone by the side of the road to rest.

"Hehe, I'm still old, time doesn't forgive me!"

"Yeah, not to mention when I was young, even ten years ago, I picked pine nuts weighing more than 100 kilograms, and I wouldn't get tired even if I walked for two or three hours, but I can't do it now!"

The two elders looked at each other, then smiled wryly and shook their heads.

"The two old brothers are doing well now. They can eat and sleep, and they can still do such heavy work. Their health is much better than most people!" Grandpa Liu said with a smile.

"That's true, Zhang Lao Er and I are indeed in good health, and many old guys of the same age in the village can't compare to it!" Speaking of this, Master Paoshan and the second uncle laughed happily.

Only the elderly know the value of good health and the meaning of health to themselves.

go home

Taking advantage of the good weather, everyone hurriedly put all the pine nuts in the yard to dry.

Fresh pine nuts contain a lot of water, so they are not easy to store and fry, so they need to be dried before they can be stored or processed.

At this moment, Mao Ya and Xiao Shitou ran in.

"Wow, brother crazy, do you have a lot of pine nuts in your house?" Xiao Shitou exclaimed in surprise.

"Crazy brother, you beat so much, what should we do if the little squirrel starves to death?" Mao Ya asked Zhang Feng curiously, biting her little finger.

puff!

Hearing Mao Ya's words, Yiyi couldn't help laughing, thinking that this girl is really funny.

Zhang Feng didn't expect Mao Ya to ask such a question, so he couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Don't worry, Mao Ya, there are still a lot of pine nuts in the mountains, and the little squirrel will definitely not miss food."

"Oh..." Mao Ya then nodded in satisfaction, thinking that this is really good, otherwise it would be bad if the cute little squirrels starved to death!

The little boy's thinking changed quickly, and Mao Ya suddenly asked Zhang Feng again:
"Then madman, can you fry pine nuts?"

"No, why do you know Mao Ya?" Seeing Mao Ya's greedy look, Zhang Feng couldn't help teasing her.

"Oh, crazy brother, you are so stupid, don't adults know it? My parents know it too!" Mao Ya looked at Zhang Feng with a look of disgust and said.

"Wow, your parents are so powerful?" Zhang Feng asked exaggeratedly.

"Hee hee, of course! My father can grow vegetables and rice, my mother can cook, and make steamed buns and steamed buns for us, and... also stir-fry pine nuts and peanuts and chestnuts!" Mao said. Ya proudly clasped her fingers and counted the good things about her parents.

Seeing Mao Ya's arrogant appearance, Zhang Feng and Yiyi looked at each other, and then laughed in unison.

After drying the pine nuts, Yiyi bid farewell and left.

……

"Yo, little stone, have you stolen my pine nuts again?" Zhang Feng came out of the shower, just in time to see the little guy stuffing pine nuts into his mouth, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Bah bah bah!! It's so unpalatable? Crazy brother, why are your pine nuts so bitter?" The little guy grinned bitterly, looking very pretty.

"Hehe, the pine nuts are raw, and they are bitter if they haven't been fried!" Zhang Feng explained to the little guy with a smile.

"Ah, then why can peanuts and melon seeds be eaten without frying??" The little guy continued to ask in confusion.

"Because peanuts and melon seeds can be eaten when they are raw, but pine nuts are inherently bitter, and the bitterness can only be removed by frying!" Zhang Feng explained with a smile.

"Brother crazy, what do you want to fry?" Xiao Shitou looked at the pine nuts on the ground and asked Zhang Feng eagerly.

"We'll fire it in two days, why don't you have one at home?" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

Because now almost every household has a special product like pine nuts, and Xiaoshitou should also have them in his home!

"Oh, my house... all of my house has been bought by tourists!" The little guy pouted and said with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Feng immediately understood that with the migratory birds migrating to Moon Lake these days, countless tourists came to watch the birds, and the specialties in the village are also selling very well. Not only Xiaoshitou's house, but also other people's stockpiles of mountain products are estimated to be consumed. almost.

"Mao Ya, yours is also sold out?" Zhang Feng turned his head and asked Mao Ya again.

"Yeah, my family is gone!" Mao Ya nodded seriously.

Zhang Feng shook his head, then grabbed a large handful of fried pine nuts from home, and distributed them to the two little guys.

The villagers usually go into the mountains to pick the pine nuts by themselves, but the pine nuts in his family are all bought from Erdao dealers. five days.

Seeing the two little guys eating pine cones like little squirrels, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

“As delicious as my home!”

The two little guys commented while eating.

"Eat my pine nuts, you want to help me with work, you know?" Zhang Feng sat at the door and said to the two little guys with a smile.

"Ah?" Hearing Zhang Feng's words, the two little guys looked at each other in blank dismay.

I didn't expect to eat a few pine nuts and help with the work, and I don't know if the two of them regret being cheated.

"Brother Madman, what do you want us to do?" After a moment of silence, Mao Ya asked curiously.

"Help me pick out the bad pine nuts, do you know those are bad?"

"I know! I know! Crazy brother knows, I helped my mother choose it!" Mao Ya immediately raised her little hand, she is such a positive and good boy.

"Who doesn't know it's so simple! I knew it a long time ago!" Xiao Shitou pouted, not to be outdone.

"That's good, let's start working. I'll check later, and whoever picks more will reward him with a handful of pine nuts." Zhang Feng said encouragingly.

"Mao Ya is definitely not as many as I am!" Xiao Shitou raised his head confidently.

"Hmph, I have so much talent..." Mao Ya was not to be outdone, she snorted at the little stone, and started to work like a hardworking bee.
