Mermaid Farming

The next day, they didn't have to go to town, so they didn't need to get up so early, and they got up according to the usual time.

Ren Yu found that she was still the last one to get up.

There was no expression of blame on the faces of the others, and Ren Yu felt better.

These two days are really tiring, and he wants to get up early, but without an alarm clock, he really can't get up.

I don't have a rooster at home, so I can't afford to keep them. I don't even have enough food for myself, let alone a rooster.

The hen is also a member of the family, and goes out every day to find food for them.

It is also very difficult to raise two, and it is impossible to raise one more.

It costs a lot of money to eat at home every day. Sweet potatoes are cheap, but there are so many of them.

Each of them wore a certain straw hat on their heads, carried a pannier, and used bamboo slips to hold water. The water bag they brought was not enough for so many of them to drink.

Four, five, six and three people stayed at home, while the others all set off to the mountains.

Ren Yu glanced at his own basket, which was obviously smaller than theirs, and said nothing, and took the bamboo pole they ordered to the mountain together.

The second brother said that the far place is really far away. After the chestnuts are dried, they can be ground into powder, and it is also very good to soak in water to drink.

Can be used as food for winter.

The third younger brother didn't go fishing, he just followed them to the body.

After walking for a full hour, Ren Yu felt that without the foreshadowing of the previous two days, he would definitely not be able to persevere.

He Zeyang handed over a water bag, and said coolly, "I told you a long time ago that the place is far away, and I asked you to stay at home. Now you know it's wrong?"

He knew that he would not believe it if he just said it with his mouth. Let him go with him and suffer a few more times, and he will probably know.

Ren Yu gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Isn't it just a little farther away? I can go even further away."

He Zeyang stood up, "Okay, enough rest, let's continue walking now.

Ren Yu: "..." The rest was less than 10 minutes.

Although they know that they don't need to rest at all, this rest is just to take care of him.

Feeling that Ren Yu was holding them back, she followed up, her legs were very heavy now, thinking that their destination was about to arrive.

He felt much more relaxed.

If he had known this, he...he would have come with him.

When he came to the place they said, he also saw a big chestnut tree covered with chestnuts.

"It's windy now, let's rest for a while." He Zeyang said, and found a relatively open place on the side, a little distance from the chestnut tree.

Ren Yu was a little puzzled, wouldn't it be cooler to rest under the chestnut tree?

Seeing that when the wind blows, the chestnuts on the tree are also blown down. There is a layer of burrs on the outside of those chestnuts. If they rest under it and don't wear a hat, Ren Yu thinks about it and feels that his scalp is numb.

So many thorns... How painful it is to hit the body!

He finally understood why, when they wore hats, they had to wear a big one and a small one.

Wearing two hats, even if it hits the head, those thorns can't touch the skin of the forehead, and the big one can cover the one that hits the body.

Only now did he realize that picking chestnuts was such a dangerous thing.

"You just get out the chestnuts inside." He Zeyang said, holding the bamboo pole in his hand.

No one had discovered this place yet, so many of the ripe chestnuts fell to the ground. The second and third brothers carried baskets on their backs and went to the other side to pick up the intact chestnuts on the ground.

He Zeyang used a long bamboo pole to beat the burr balls on the tree. When the beating was about the same, the other two people also finished picking up the chestnuts that fell from the ground, and they could switch sides.

The two of them went to pick up the chestnuts that He Zeyang knocked down just now, and He Zeyang also switched sides to knock them.

This time they quickly picked up the chestnuts, and then put them on the side. The shoes they were wearing were very inconvenient. This kind of straw sandals made it easy for them to step on the burrs on the ground, so they had to pick them up. , and then slowly remove the outer layer of burrs.

The outer layer of burrs is also stacked in the same place.

"Break open the outer layer with a stone, and just take out the chestnuts inside." He Zeyang gave an order, worried that he would not do it, so he found two stones and showed him.

Ren Yu watched his movements carefully, wrote down the steps, and found that his movements were really fast.

And I didn't get stuck by those burrs.

"Understood?" He Zeyang looked at him and asked.

Ren Yu nodded vigorously, "I understand."

"That's fine." He Zeyang said, continuing to hold his bamboo pole, knocking here and there, it can be said that he was very busy.

Ren Yu imitated what he did just now, slowed down several times, and knocked it open slowly.

He did a few, and found that his speed was still far behind. Ren Yu took a look at their movements, no, this is not okay.

His speed would hold them back by a long way.

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a way.

The speed at which he uses the stone is very slow. If he is not careful and uses a little more strength, the chestnut will be accidentally smashed.But if he uses his nails...

Ren Yu did what he said, changed the direction, and suddenly felt that he could do it, and his current speed suddenly accelerated.

He used his own nails. He glanced at the other three, feeling a little unsure in his heart. His nails looked like they had grown a little at most. When they walked over, he just put them away.

He uses his nails to scratch the outer layer of burrs, and he can control his strength very well, which can be said to be very simple.

In addition, his nails are also very sharp, and he can get the chestnuts inside with just one swipe.

And he is no longer afraid of the burrs on the outside. After he became proficient, his speed became even faster.

Barely able to keep up with their speed.

His nails were long, and he made a cut, and then used his nails to clip out the chestnuts inside.

After a while, he got a bunch of chestnuts out, and he put a lot of chestnuts in the back basket.

The other two people were responsible for picking up these chestnuts. Seeing his movements, they gave him a surprised look, but they didn't expect his speed to be very fast.

But they didn't say anything, they just accelerated their speed.

Ren Yu looked at the pile of more and more chestnuts, and couldn't calm down for a while.

He only has one pair of hands, he really can't do it alone!

He has accelerated his speed to the fastest, but still can't keep up with their speed.

He Zeyang knocked down the ripe chestnuts from the tree, brought their bamboo poles, and saw that he brought out half a basket of chestnuts.

He took a step forward, grabbed his fingers, looked at his hands, those small bloody holes that he didn't see on it, and then said.

Ren Yu blushed, and he suddenly grabbed his hand...

"We're not in a hurry to go back, so we can get these things slowly, and be careful not to pierce your hands." He Zeyang warned with concern, but then he thought of the speed with which he picked beans before, and suddenly felt that he was worried. Too much?

Ren Yu said embarrassingly, "I didn't do it on purpose, can you slow down?"

He Zeyang paused, and said, "Let's move quickly, just want to go back to rest early. You don't need to rush, we will work together later."

"Don't be stupid, okay? How can your speed alone be as fast as the three of us?!" He Zeyang said helplessly.

"Don't you need to keep up with your speed?" Ren Yu asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Fuck, he worked so hard and worked so fast, why on earth? !

"No, you don't have to worry. With the three of us here, we can definitely go back before dinner."

Ren Yu flexed his wrist, this time he finally didn't have to hurry, he felt that he was not well.

He Zeyang rested for a while, and joined them to help pick up those burr balls on the ground.

Naturally, they used wooden sticks to clamp these things.

They put them all in one place.

"Brother, you and Brother Ren Yu are here to make this together. Let's take a look around here first. When we came here yesterday, we saw a lot of yams. Now that we're here this time, let's dig some more back." said the second brother.

These yams can be stored for more than ten days when they are dug back, so they don't worry about not being able to finish them.

You must know that this kind of food is also very filling. The members of their family can eat one meal by cooking one yam at a time. The ones he dug back before were as many as five, and the two thick ones , and three small ones, which can save them dinner for three days.

Since there are new yams around here, of course they will not let them go. When their eldest brother touches this kind of thing, it will itch and become red and swollen.

Ren Yu peeled the chestnuts very quickly, so they wanted to stay here, so it was only the two of them who dug the yams.

By digging more, they can save more food for winter, and this kind of yam can also be dried and preserved.

It's just that after drying, the taste of the boiled yam is not very good.

But as long as they can fill their stomachs, they can't pursue so much.

"There are so many things, when are we going to finish them?" Ren Yu looked at the time and found that by noon, there was probably no way to finish them.

He Zeyang was in a good mood when he saw the half-basket of chestnuts he got out.

Originally, they had to go to the mountain, but with Ren Yu around, they saved a lot of effort.

Take two things back at once.

This kind of yam is boiled with bones and tastes very good.

Just drinking bone soup is actually a little bland.

"Don't worry, when I came up, I brought pancakes." He Zeyang said.

When I woke up this morning, the newly made pancakes contained a lot of cornmeal, which should be much more delicious than the previous ones.
