Chapter 609 Picking Pine Cones in the Forest

"Pumpkin and loofah are both suitable for making soup. If they are ripe, we can pick them and make soup." said the little pumpkin.

Before she even got to the farm, she had already planned how to eat the crops.

"We don't have many eggs at home. We'll go to the ranch later."

Little Bear added.

In the morning, the pumpkin carriage went to many places, stopping at farms, pastures, and forests.

In the forest, the pine nuts are really ripe, and there are big pine cones, some as big as a human head, and some as big as a palm.

Juanjuan and Little Pumpkin flew up to hit the pine cones.

The big cannon ice version of Little Pumpkin and Juanjuan's long sleeves have become good skills for hitting pine cones.

After using the skill, the pine cones fall down with a loud noise.

The little fox couldn't do that, so he had to use the traditional method of climbing a tree and hitting the pine cones with a pole.

The same is true for the little bear. It turns into a big bear that is more than ten meters long. It grabs a long pole and clings to the tree. Its great strength makes it most efficient.

Su An sat on the little bear and helped, but she was also aware of its efficiency, and it could only be said that participation was the most important thing.

Harvest is a happy thing.

The sun was warm and hot, shining through the shade of the trees and falling on people's bodies in patches, but no one felt tired.

Nothing can make people feel more fulfilled than seeing a few fruits fall off when they are hit. Humans are always addicted to the joy of this kind of instant feedback.

Because there were so many people, the efficiency was very high. Su An and the dolls played with pine cones for a while, and the fallen pine cones piled up on the ground into small hills.

When they had picked enough to eat, everyone stopped and started processing the hills.

They had no intention of collecting all the pine cones in the woods. The entire Pastoral Township was a collection copy of this station, providing a variety of supplies, enough to supply the six of them, so there was no need to collect excessively.

After stopping to pick pine cones, everyone first transferred all the pine cones into the space, and then brought them back to the cabin in the forest for processing. There was a hardened yard in front of the cabin, where the pine cones could be poured out for easy peeling and drying.

The pumpkin carriage appeared on a small path beside the woods, and went deeper along the narrow and winding road until it arrived in front of a small cabin in the forest.

The wooden house covers an area of ​​about 100 square meters and is made of pure solid wood logs. There is a beautiful small attic upstairs.

The wooden house has a small yard surrounded by a fence. The hardened yard is covered with a layer of pine cones.

Everyone was busy. Each person had a small stool and sat around in the yard, peeling the pine nuts from the pine cones bit by bit.

However, you don’t have to throw away the remaining pine cone bark. You can use it to make fire and stir-fry pine nuts directly with the pine cone bark.

While processing, Su An picked up a pine nut and tasted it.

Put the pine nuts in your mouth, and with a click, you will bite through the brown shell to reveal the kernel inside. Chew the kernel and it will feel full of oil. The raw pine nuts are not as fragrant as the fried ones, but they have a strong pine purple fragrance.

The quality of this batch of pine nuts is good, they are large, plump and rich in fat.

"It's all fired."

The little pumpkin stood on the pile of pine cones and made an excited speech.

The big pot in the yard of the cabin was lit. Bear was the strongest and was commanded by Little Pumpkin to be the chef specializing in frying pine nuts.

Pine nuts give off a strong nutty aroma during baking, and heating allows the oil aroma in the nuts to evaporate better, making the flesh sweeter.

This little thing is perfect for eating while watching TV.

Little Pumpkin smelled the fragrance of roasted pine nuts in the air, took one out from the pile of pine nuts roasted by Bear, tasted it, and exclaimed, "Not bad, Bear, you have made great progress. The heat is better than the last batch of pine nuts you roasted."

It becomes a food reviewer.

The sun was setting slowly. We had a simple meal of dry food at noon and worked hard until the sun was about to set.

The whole yard is filled with the fragrance of pine cones and pine nuts.

As the sun continued to set, Little Pumpkin and Bear prepared lunch together. Su An sat on a chair, rubbing his slightly sore arms, stirring the chopped pepper and pine nut sauce in front of him from time to time, and watching the dolls busying themselves with energy.

The loofah and tender pumpkin picked at noon can be used to make soup, and I plan to make soup with the small pumpkins.

Little Fox is chopping vegetables as he carries out Little Pumpkin's plan.

The pine nuts were harvested in the afternoon, and Little Pumpkin specially invited Bear to pick some pine nut kernels.

It said to make pine nut spinach and pine nut fried rice in the evening.

In addition, barbecue is also a must-have for home cooking. Find a fish from the warehouse, process it, spread chopped pepper and pine nut sauce on it, and put it in the oven. When it is time to take it out of the pot, sprinkle it with plenty of pine nuts.

At this moment, Juanjuan was busy with this matter. Under the command of Little Pumpkin, she handled the fish quite well.

Su An was cooking the sauce in front of him, and the aroma was so delicious that it made him feel overwhelmed.

Su An thinks that this thing doesn't need to be put on grilled fish. It tastes just as good if it is sprinkled on rice or sandwiched in steamed buns.

This sauce, made with chopped fresh chilies and loaded with pine nuts and fragrant seasonings, is anything but unpalatable.

As Su An expected, there was no unpalatable dish for dinner.

In pine nut spinach, the aroma of pine nuts and the taste of spinach complement each other perfectly.

The pine nut fried rice is dry and fragrant, and as for the grilled fish, the tender and smooth fish meat paired with the fresh pepper and pine nut sauce is simply delicious.

The refreshing loofah and pumpkin soup may not have the strong flavor of dishes paired with pine nuts, but it is a good combination as a soup to eat when you are tired of it.

Sitting on the chair, after finishing his meal, watching the sky gradually darken and looking at the colorful clouds in the distance, Su An felt extremely calm.

Halfway through the meal, the sky became overcast and it looked like it was going to rain, so the dolls quickly moved the items in the yard to the shed next to the cabin.

The kitchen pots and dining tables, chairs and benches all have wooden roofs, so they don't need to be moved even when it rains.

After a while, the rain began to fall, hitting the forest, the wooden house mountain, and the empty island.

"Meow, the air is fresher after the rain, meow."

Su An stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops. The crystal clear raindrops fell into his palm, very transparent and without a trace of pollution.

Su An likes rain a little bit. To be more precise, she likes rain, wind and snow, all these natural phenomena.

As long as it doesn't cause a disaster, she loves all of these weather conditions.

After dinner, everyone went to sleep in the cabin.

The light was warm yellow, and the fireplace, after burning, reduced the dampness in the house a lot. Su An, who gradually received the fragments of his past memories, felt close to the decorations in the house.

Leaning on the sofa, half of his body was lying on the pumpkin-shaped long-haired carpet. On the small coffee table, there was a cup of caramel baked milk cooked with a small pumpkin.

Some of the dolls were exploring the room, some were chatting, and Su An was in a daze, looking at the dancing fire on the fireplace, sorting out her mixed memories.
