The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 175 Picking Pine Cones 1
Everything was as Ye Qing said, on the afternoon of her return, after finishing cleaning the pig offal, she went with Wu Yan to prepare for the tomorrow's harvesting of pine cones.

Qi Su was tired all day, but when he heard that he could go to the pine forest to harvest pine cones tomorrow, how could such interesting things be rare for him?After shaking off his fatigue with strength, he stretched again, and insisted on going with the two with the cheek.

Ye Qing doesn't care if there is one more person to help with the work.But Wu Yan is not pleasing to Qi Su's eyes from both sides and verticals. Isn't it good to sleep when you have time?He had to come out and stand in the way between him and Ye Qing.

It's really an eyesore!
After the sky gradually darkened, everything was almost ready.Ye Qing counted the bamboo poles and baskets on the ground one by one, nodded in satisfaction, then beckoned Wu Yan and Qi Su to go back.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Junbei still dug Qi Su up from the bed who was eagerly going to pick the pine cones, and then the two drove the donkey to sell stewed vegetables in the morning sun.

Since the incident last time, Qi Su has been able to bear hardships and stand hard work in terms of work.Although he wanted to play with Ye Qing and the others, but after being captured by Ye Junbei, he was reluctant and didn't say anything dissatisfied with selling stewed vegetables.

The person who sold the stewed vegetables changed from Qiusheng to Qisu, but generally speaking, the signboard did not change, and Qisu was more handsome than Qiusheng, so the aunts who raised their daughters took the opportunity to ask him But after being betrothed, she wanted to be a matchmaker for Qisu.

Qisu has seen the world and is very tactful. After he chatted with the women, he not only sold out the vegetarian dried tofu, but also sold out the meat dishes.

In addition, Qisu is good at medicine. When passing through the village, after selling braised vegetables, he would occasionally check the pulse of a sick person on the side of the road. In just two days, his reputation spread.No, no matter which village they are in, they all sell fast and well.

Ye Junbei secretly thought that it was thanks to Qi Su's blessing, otherwise, he would have to wander around the village with his meat dishes for a while!
"Brother Qingqing, do you know where Pine Forest is? Can you take me to find them?"

Although he came out early in the morning to sell braised pork, his playful heart was even more restless.Now all the stewed vegetables have been sold out in only two hours, so he has to go to the pine forest to find them.

Ye Junbei's heart was aroused by "kissing big brother" a layer of goose bumps, and if he shook it casually, the goose bumps would fall all over the ground.He originally wanted Qisu to go to the slaughterhouse with him, but Qisu's mouth was too sweet, and he couldn't bear it.

The whip in Ye Junbei's hand patted the donkey's buttocks, and then said slowly: "I'll point you in the direction later, and you can go by yourself later, I have to go to the city to pull pigs into the water."

Listening to Ye Junbei's tone, Qi Su was afraid that he would change his mind and let him go to the city together, so he quickly took over the conversation and said in a panic: "No, I'll go by myself, I'll go first!"

After saying that, he had already jumped off the donkey cart and galloped towards Pingle Village.

Ye Junbei yelled twice behind him, but Qi Su pretended not to hear and ran away sullenly.As a result, he ran in the opposite direction, going the opposite direction, and getting farther and farther away from the pine forest.

When Qi Su asked the villagers who were working in the crop field and ran to the pine forest, Ye Qing had already picked up a basket of pine cones.

"Girl, I finally found you, I'm so exhausted!"

Qi Su ran up to Ye Qing, after saying this, he fell down on the soft and dry ground covered with fallen leaves. "Using the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed", smelling the strong fragrance of pine trees at the tip of the nose is really a simple and rare enjoyment.

After Ye Qing picked up all the pine cones that Wu Yan had knocked down into the bamboo basket, he stood up and kicked Qi Su, coughed twice and said, "Since you're here, get up and work. Otherwise, it's all in vain." You made this trip!"

Qi Su opened his eyes aggrieved, Ye Qing's hand was already pointing to the top of his head - buddy, climb up.

She and Wu Yan were not the only ones who came to pick up pine cones today.

Because after what happened to the Lin family last time, Ye Qing never found a chance to see Qiu Sheng and Chun Ya, and he didn't know how their emotions recovered after being defeated by the truth.So, she deliberately went to the Lin's house to find Chun Ya, firstly, because she wanted her to come and play with her for a change of mood; secondly, she wanted to see how Qiu Sheng was doing.After all, he was the one who was hurt the most by this incident.

In the end, Ye Qing didn't expect that Qiu Sheng recovered faster than she imagined, when he heard that they were coming to the pine forest to pick pine cones, he picked up another load of bamboo baskets and came with them.

Climbing a tree is not an easy task, but for children like Qiusheng who were born on the edge of a mountain, climbing a tree is not a difficult task either.On this point, Wu Yan had to admit that Qiu Sheng was stronger than him.

But the strong is the strong, and no one can take it lightly and pay no attention to safety issues.So, Ye Qing gave each of them a specially prepared rope, and asked them to tie one end around their waists, and after climbing up the tree, tie the other end to the tree trunk.

There are still many pine cones hanging from the trees, and picking them by hand is slow and unsafe, so bamboo poles must be used to knock them down, and then someone below will be responsible for picking them up.It is not enough to operate the bamboo pole with one hand. After tying the rope to the tree trunk, both hands can be freed to hit the pine cone vigorously.

In modern times, the pine nuts on the market mainly come from the Northeast region, where there are natural pine forests, which provide the largest raw material supply.However, the workers who pick pine nuts every year will always have various accidents during the picking process, ranging from falls to injuries and even death.Therefore, there is a popular saying among the people, "One pine cone is ten catties of sweat, and one pine nut is ten pagodas".It can be seen that the picking of this pine cone is very hard and difficult.

After Ye Qing calculated the speed of the human body falling vertically and doing free fall, he just added another strand of hemp rope to be safe, and then let Wu Yan and Qiu Sheng be tied together before going to climb the tree.

She had prepared three ropes for Wu Yan, Qi Su and her elder brother, but who knew that Ye Junbei didn't come, but Qiu Sheng did.But that's good too, Qisu must be the most active one when eating pine nuts, so it's understandable to let him climb up to exercise his courage beforehand and let him sweat a little more.

"Qingqing, I...I can't climb trees."

Qi Su held the rope, looked at the [-]-meter-high pine tree in front of him, swallowed back "I'm afraid" abruptly, and changed the reason for it being innocuous.

Ye Qing walked up to him, looked sideways at his expression, then turned around and looked up at the height of the pine tree. After a moment of silence, he exclaimed: "Wow, it's really high. Hey, if you climb up, you will definitely Scared to death."

Qi Su was startled by this statement, and Jun's face suddenly turned red!
