Chapter 61 60. Pine Pollen
There would not be immediate harvest after the trap was put into the water. Huaiyu came over early the next morning with a backpack and untied the rope tied to the tree.
The small trap seemed to be quite heavy in the pond, and there seemed to be splashes of water inside!
She was pleasantly surprised, and now standing by the pond, she became even more expectant.
As the trap was folded up, I saw two big fish inside, as well as some small fish and loaches.
But this was enough to surprise Huaiyu!
The two big fish were very heavy and were still struggling even after being brought ashore. Their sticky and slippery bodies were arching and making the rocks beside the pool slam.
Ah, this...
Huaiyu hesitated and looked at the multifunctional shovel in his hand. If he wanted to eat the fish, would he have to knock them unconscious with the shovel through the net? Otherwise, it would take a lot of force!
But after a moment's hesitation, she put the trap back into the water. After all, it was a rare trip up the mountain, and she couldn't leave the backpack empty-handed.
I picked a full bag of wild vegetables when I set up the trap yesterday. Let's find some other mushrooms today.
She followed the stream upstream, slowly walking towards the mountain along a familiar and memorable place. There were branches on all sides that made her feel close to them.
Some big trees can already vaguely sense emotions, while some small ones are ignorant and just like ordinary plants.
Just like the ones she had cut down to build the house.
Huai Yu walked through the mountains. Intentionally or unintentionally, the branches and twigs around her tacitly spread out to the sides until a towering tree appeared in front of her.
Hey, it’s actually a mature tree!
"Big pine tree!"
Huaiyu happily hugged the other's thick trunk and said, "Songta helped me a lot! Thank you!"
She touched the rugged bark, and subconsciously she channeled her body's strength. The branches and needles of the big pine tree stretched out in the quiet forest, and soon there came a subtle emotion that only Huaiyu could vaguely understand.
"ah?"
She was stunned for a moment, looking at the dozen or so young pine trees nearby that had not yet grown up.
"Are you really going to let me pick it?"
The pine trees rustled, creating an especially pleasant sound in the forest.
Huaiyu looked at his backpack, then at the bucket he used to hold the fish...
Forget it, the fish is more important! So he turned around and went to the bushes to pick a bunch of soft young leaves and spread them under the backpack. Then he pulled down the branches of the pine tree and gently picked the newly opened pine flowers.
Although the small pine tree in front of her did not convey any emotions, she still picked the fruits while whispering: "It's not that I want to pick so many, it's the big pine tree. He said you are too small, and it's too tiring to bloom and bear fruit..."
"It won't produce any useful pine nuts, and it won't be able to reproduce... In this case, it's better to pick the flowers early and accumulate more energy to grow branches and roots..."
The big pine tree was so tall that she couldn't climb up it, but the branches of the small pine tree would bend with a slight pull.
She gently picked clusters of light yellowish pine flowers from among the pine needles and put them into the basket. Soon, her hands were covered with a layer of furry pollen.
What a pity.
Huaiyu thought: Making snacks consumes too much grain, otherwise pine flower cake would be delicious too.
I don't have honey, otherwise I can mix this and use it as a facial mask——
Huh? Suddenly, she had an idea and thought of what to trade with Boss Tang.
After all, makeup sets from six years ago are still selling well, so there’s no reason why no one would buy purified pine pollen, right?
This can be mixed with egg white, milk or honey to make a facial mask!
As for whether it is useful or not...
Huaiyu thought without any guilt: ordinary chrysanthemum boiled water, applied on the face for a while can reduce swelling and inflammation! Why is such precious pine pollen useless?
Thinking of this, she acted even faster.
By the time we finished touring the large pine forest, the basket was already full.
It’s a pity that there is still a lot of pollen on it. Next time I come, I have to bring a few more plastic bags.
She returned to the pond with a basket full of catches on her back. She put away the trap and thought about the way down the mountain, fearing that the fish would die early or that she would not be able to defeat them if they struggled out.
Considering the strength of that little fish, this is really possible!
After thinking about it, he tentatively gave a little purifying power.
The fish was struggling extremely hard in the trap, and every time it swung its tail, Huaiyu almost couldn't hold on to the net.
But after the purification ability was introduced, the two big fish gradually calmed down.
Huaiyu then breathed a sigh of relief, and decisively filled a bucket with water and put all the fish in.
After leaving the Rose Corridor, she pedaled her bicycle as fast as she could until she put the fish quietly back into the bucket. Only then did she feel at ease.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He threw all the small fish, shrimps and loaches directly into the pond, and kept two half-grown ones for himself.
As for the two largest ones...
No matter whether it was braised fish chunks, pickled fish fillets, or milky white fish soup, every time he fantasized about it, it made Huaiyu feel hungrier.
never mind.
She sighed and put aside her fantasy: Now is not the time to enjoy. Besides, without enough seasoning, the fish will not taste good.
Then he looked at the time, quickly found a new plastic bag, and deftly picked off all the powder from the clusters of pine flowers.
Time was tight and she didn't dare to keep the fish until the next day, so she didn't even have time to carefully filter out the pine pollen and hurriedly picked up the bucket to catch the bus.
There is less than ten percent left. If she doesn't go to see Boss Tang, she will really have no savings at all, and her life will be too insecure!
About three hours after Huaiyu left, a military vehicle drove over from the camp in Area 69.
Zhou Qian drove the car seriously, without saying a word, his expression was so focused that he was almost serious.
Next to him sat a stranger wearing a snow-white uniform that reflected a silvery-white light like quicksand under the sunlight.
The other party was staring at the rose corridor that could be seen from a long distance, ready for battle.
At the same time, behind this car, there were three other cars following in the distance.
Zhou Qian's attention was not on his surroundings, nor on the car following behind him. Instead, he silently glanced at the rearview mirror.
I saw a young man sitting in the back seat of the car.
He has a tough face but a gentle temperament, a mixture of two different styles. However, he also has a murderous aura that comes from having participated in the defense against alien plants, which is very impressive.
The garrison uniform that was so white that it seemed to glow silver, and the badge on his chest, further revealed his identity.
He is the eternal hero of Huacheng, who came all the way from the imperial capital just to track down the whereabouts of the former garrison officer Lin Xuefeng.
Wu Yue.
The new commander of the garrison is General Wu.
Update one.
It seems that no matter which book it is, it will be painful to put it off until the evening.
