Chapter 215 Acorn Tofu Freedom
Because they could go up the mountain today, the elders in the village wanted to go up the mountain to see it after knowing it last night, while the younger ones were curious and wanted to play, so Shen Qing stopped transporting bricks and tiles, and everyone went to the mountain to look for treasure happily - her family had carried enough bricks and tiles, and now they were carrying bricks and tiles for the brush workshop, so there was no need to rush.
There was no need to cook for too many people at noon, and Shen Qing thought it would still be in time to cook when he came back. At worst, they could eat later, so he asked Huo Bing, Jiang Yu and Jiang Shui to cook together.
Huo Bing held her second daughter in her arms and said with a smile, "Mom, I won't go. The two children are too young. I can't help if I go, and someone else will need to help look after them."
The house is a mess now. The head of the family has to build a house and cannot take care of the two children. As a mother, it is not right for her to not stay at home to take care of them and let her younger sisters-in-law take care of them.
Jiang Yu pursed her lips and whispered, "A Bing and I are at home looking after the two children."
"Aunt, I can take care of everything at home by myself, so you can go to the mountain without worry." Huo Bing quickly assured.
Shen Qing thought that there were many rocks, weeds and bushes on the mountain, and it would be easy to get scratched with two children. Now the eldest child is the main force in the housework, so it is normal that Huo Bing cannot leave, but Xiaoyu can do it perfectly.
Thinking of Jiang Yu's concerns, she prepared an argument and said, "This time, the entire village, except for the strong laborers and a few women, has gone out. It's more lively with more people. Besides, if you come across wild vegetables and fruits, you can pick more and bring them back, right?"
They haven't gone out since they entered the mountains. The others are at least still wandering around the houses in the village, but Jiang Yu has been staying at home. People have to go out and see the sights more often, otherwise the more they stay at home, the less they want to go out.
But letting Jiang Yu go out cannot be said to be for her own good, but to highlight her value and make her feel that she will be useful when she goes out, so that she will actively do it.
Sure enough, Jiang Yu immediately responded after hearing this: "Okay, I'll go get the backpack."

The men and women of the Lei family were dressed neatly and waiting in the middle of the village early in the morning.
Every household ran and called their family members together.
Soon a large crowd gathered.
When Guan Li saw Shen Qing and the other two arriving, she quietly moved to stand beside them.
Seeing that everyone had tied up their sleeves and trouser legs tightly as required, Lei Dafu said, "When we go up the mountain, we will lead the way. If you disperse after entering the mountain, you can find a stick and knock on the grass in advance. If there are snakes, rats, insects or ants in the bushes, they will run away when they hear the noise.
Also, don't go too far! You're not familiar with the terrain right now, and getting lost could easily lead to accidents. You must stay within sight of everyone.
If you see any fruit, you must ask the Lei family if you can eat it;
When seeing an unfamiliar animal, call us first;
Even if you don't recognize any wild vegetables, you should ask about them one by one. In short, don't rely on past experience for everything, ask more questions!"
Every time Lei Dafu made a request, the crowd responded obediently with a "yes"!
The response from beginning to end was uniform and loud, full of gratitude.
Lei Sigui tugged at his brother's sleeve and said happily, "The people in their village are really nice. They don't mind us being long-winded at all."
Feng Xing, who was standing nearby, corrected him, "What do you mean by 'their village'? It's your village now, too. Besides, you're patiently giving us instructions for our own good. We're so grateful, how could we possibly despise you?"
The people around agreed: "Yes, are we the ones who don't know what's good for us?"
The Lei family: .....They can’t be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once!
"Let's go, let's go!"
The huge crowd marched towards the mountain facing the rising sun.
The Lei family is as familiar with the surrounding mountains as if they were their own home. They know exactly which mountain has more fruits, which area has lush wild vegetables, and which area has more rabbits and pheasants.
Considering that there are many people today, including the elderly, children, women and children, we finally chose a mountain range with the flattest terrain.
The wasteland was difficult to walk on, so the Lei brothers led the way in front, and the crowd following behind walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
It took two incense sticks of time to finally reach the foot of the mountain.
After climbing for another half an hour, we arrived at a large flat area.
The large group of people who were talking and laughing at the beginning were now only gasping for breath. They sat there without caring about their image and wailing everywhere.
"I'm so tired, but we're finally here!"
"Why do I feel more tired than if I had dug two acres of land? I'm still climbing the mountain with nothing."
"The mountain road is too difficult to walk on. I used to think that the road at Lei's house was difficult to walk on, but it's nothing compared to today's. At least there was a road there, but today I don't even know where the road is!"
"Just be content. It's Dafu and his friends who are leading the way. If it weren't for them, we would really be lost."
"You're right."
......
Shen Qing really wanted to join in the conversation, but her first priority was to catch her breath.
"Sister-in-law, have some water." Jiang Yu handed over the water bag and asked worriedly.
Shen Qing drank the water slowly while looking around.
I saw a large open field surrounded by tall trees and only a few scattered weeds on the ground.
"Ouch, something fell on my head? Could it be bird poop?"
"I hit my hand. What's this round, pointy thing?"
What an acorn looks like on a tree
Seeing that everyone finally had time to realize what they were up to, Lei Chuntian stood up and explained loudly, "This brown-red, hard-shelled fruit with a round end and a pointed end is called an acorn. Pick it up and peel it. The fruit inside is similar to a peanut kernel.
After drying, grind it into powder and store it as food, which will fill your stomach!"
When they heard that it could be eaten as food, the crowd suddenly became excited.
Zheng Hui hurriedly asked, "Chuntian, what do these acorns taste like?"
"Sister Chuntian, is it delicious? Do you like it?" asked Zhao Xiaogou.
Lei Chuntian paused, then stuttered, "It's a little astringent and bitter, with almost no sweetness. But once you get used to it, you'll find it has a unique fragrance, which is not bad.
But it’s incredibly filling! Two bowls of the porridge is enough for the whole family, and we won’t be hungry all afternoon!
The women present immediately understood that this was very unpalatable.
But it’s okay. Being able to fill your stomach is a good thing. It’s better than being hungry. Besides, it’s free when you pick it up on the mountain. What else can you ask for?
The women just wanted to fill their stomachs, so they picked up the food happily and actively, but the half-grown children only thought about delicious food. When they heard that the food was bitter and astringent, their faces immediately wrinkled up, and they were not very happy to pick it up, for fear that they would pick up too much and eat too much when they got home.
At this moment, Shen Qing looked at the prompt message of the mall and fell into deep thought.
"Pure, pollution-free acorn flour, 80 yuan per pound."
So the acorn powder that tasted bitter and astringent in Lei Chuntian’s mouth is actually a good thing?
Suddenly she remembered a delicious acorn tofu dish she had eaten before. It was incredibly delicious and said to be very nutritious, but very expensive.
Could this acorn be that acorn?
Oh my god, then she will achieve acorn tofu freedom?
