Uncle Dong built a big fire in the yard, and the flames were burning fiercely.

Zhou Xing moved a small stool and sat next to the fire, feeling the warm air blowing towards him.

Then Uncle Dong took the backpack, bent down, picked up the pine cones, and threw them into the fire one by one.

When Zhou Xing saw this scene, his eyes widened and he said anxiously.

"Uncle Dong, what are you doing? How can you use pine cones to make a fire? You're just wasting the pine nuts!"

Uncle Dong straightened up, smiled and shook his head and replied.

"Haha, you don't understand. The pine cones are burned in the fire, but the pine nuts are not damaged. Moreover, the burned pine nuts are very fragrant! People here have been eating this as a snack since they were young!"

After hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded, scratched his head, and a smile of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect you could eat it this way! I'll have to try some of the pine nuts when they're ready!"

There was a lot of fat on the pine cone, which made crackling sounds when roasted in the fire.

They kept burning the pine cones until they looked like black balls, and then they took them out.

After taking it out, crush it with a stone and you can get the pine nuts inside.

After peeling off the pine nut skin, the pine nuts inside have changed from milky white to brown.

Put it in your mouth and chew it, the aroma of the oil is so rich and the taste is really tempting.

This big bag of pine nuts could last for a long time as a snack. A large plate of pine nuts was served on the table at noon the next day.

At the dinner table the next day at noon, Zhou Yue was cracking pine nuts when Sister Chunyan spoke.

"Uncle Dong, it's time for us to go back."

Uncle Dong said with reluctance when he heard this.

"Chunyan girl, you've only been here for a month, why don't you stay a little longer?"

"Uncle Dong, don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you guys when I have the chance in the future!"

Sister Chunyan knew that Uncle Dong was reluctant to let them leave, but they had indeed stayed in this village long enough.

During this month, the base in the village has been basically built.

The beautiful adobe houses built by the villagers together are built next to each other and are really well built.

We also elected some capable and responsible villagers as managers.

Brother Dong Sheng was also one of the selected ones, and the base would be built by people from their village in the future.

Now that the work in the village has been almost completed, it is time for Sister Chunyan and the others to return to the seaside village and build their own village.

Zhou Yue knew that she would not stay in this village for too long, but she did not expect to leave so soon. She still felt a little melancholy.

After all, this mountain is so much fun, with all kinds of mountain products and rare wild animals.

After packing our luggage, we set off the next morning.

Uncle Dong and his family were so welcoming and brought them a lot of things.

I gave them all the big bag of pine nuts I got that day, as well as some mountain products I had picked, including a big sack of dried mushrooms.

Zhou Yue and his comrades got on the village's ox cart and waved goodbye to the villagers.

Uncle Dong looked reluctant and said as he waved his hand.

"Come to the village when you have time. If I find something good in the mountains, I'll send it to you!"

Riding on a ox cart back to the seaside village, everyone felt particularly cordial when seeing their comrades whom they hadn't seen for a month.

To welcome them back, today's dinner is very sumptuous.

I used many different kinds of seafood to make a big pot of seafood chowder.

After dinner in the evening, the last ray of light in the sky was swallowed up by the night.

There was a fish oil lamp lit in the room, and everyone was busy with their work under the lamp.
