Chapter 42 She didn't look for trouble, but trouble came to her (2/2)



However, Zhong Wanwan had a very peaceful mindset. She was willing to give it to the squirrel. Even if the squirrel took it all, she wouldn't feel like she had worked for nothing!

In Zhong's narrow-minded and petty mind, even contributing to nature is better than letting a heartless green tea bitch improve her life!

Wild pine cones don't yield a high percentage of pine nuts; one pound of pine cones can produce one pound of pine nuts, so these pine cones can yield about 70 pounds of pine nuts.

Zhong Wanwan planned to keep 40 jin of these pine nuts, give 20 jin to Wei Maisui's family, and 10 jin to Zheng Nannan's family.

Hehe, mainly because it was so hard for Songtazhong Wanwan to find her, and she really loves eating pine nuts.

Not only fried pine nuts, but also boiled spiced pine nuts, stir-fried pine nuts, and sausages made with pine nuts—Zhong Wanwan especially loves them all!

If it weren't for wanting to eat pine nuts openly in winter, would she have been scolded for two days?

I need to save some pine nuts to calm my nerves!

The search for chestnut and hickory trees is even more arduous than for pine trees.

At least pine trees have a smell, which Zhong Wanwan could still detect even from more than 10 meters away.

As for chestnuts and pecans, she really didn't know what they were until she was right in front of the tree!

Fortunately, perseverance pays off. After searching for chestnut trees for a week, Zhong Wanwan finally found the hickory forest!

You know, it's amazing how things work out of the deep mountains. They searched everywhere for chestnut trees but couldn't find any. Instead, they stumbled upon a hickory tree by sheer chance!

There weren't many hickory trees, only 52 in total. Zhong Wanwan used the old method: she was responsible for shaking off the green-skinned walnuts so that everyone could help transport them.

52 hickory trees produced 300 jin of green-skinned walnuts, which can be dried to yield 120 jin of hickory nuts.

Zhong Wanwan didn't plan to stay long at the pecan shop. She wasn't a big fan of pecans; apart from amber pecan kernels, she didn't really like any of the other kinds.

Amber walnut kernels are too sugary, and Zhong Songbai couldn't possibly make them more than a few times, so he kept 40 jin (20 catties) for the two brothers!

Of the remaining 80 jin, the Wei family received 60 jin more, while the Zheng family received 20 jin less!

The hardest thing to find was the wild chestnut tree. Zhong Wanwan searched for 10 whole days, and the harvest was almost over before she finally found the wild chestnut forest.

Fortunately, there weren't many chestnut trees, only 85 in total. We worked overtime all day and managed to harvest them all!

There are 85 chestnut trees, with 600 jin of chestnut pods, which can yield 200 jin of chestnuts.

Zhong Wanwan kept 100 jin of chestnuts, giving 80 jin to the Wei family and 20 jin to the Zheng family.

Don't think this is a lot; this is enough to last you all winter!

Winters in Heilongjiang Province are long. It's too cold to go out, so for more than five months of winter, people gossip, or rather, chat. They rely on these mountain produce and melons to make the food taste good!

Of course, Tang Zixuan and Bai Yueyao could never experience such a pleasant experience.

After all, Zhong Wanwan had snatched all the mountain produce that the two wanted to eat. It wasn't that she didn't want to leave some for them, but they just didn't have time to eat it!

With so many fields on that farm, we'll be counting on Tang Zixuan and Bai Yueyao to make fertilizer for us next year!

They have to spend the whole winter outside composting manure and carrying manure. They don't have time to sit inside and eat melons like these idle people!

However, these two weren't completely uninvolved in the gossip. After all, since only these two did the work, they were definitely the main characters in the winter gossip!

After working for nearly a month, Zhong Wanwan was exhausted.

After everything was dried and tidied up, Zhong Wanwan finally relaxed completely.

By this time, the autumn harvest was over, and the villagers and educated youth all went up the mountain to collect mountain products.

Zhong Wanwan decided not to join the crowd. She had enough mountain produce and it was time for her to take a good rest!

As a result, Zhong Wanwan stopped looking for trouble, and trouble came looking for her!
