While everyone was laughing and joking, a commuter car pulled by an internal combustion engine drove over, and everyone got on.
The commuter car pulled everyone out of the forest farm, roared all the way towards the construction area, and sent everyone to the work site.
The altitude here is high and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Even though it is already summer, it is still quite cool in the forest in the early morning.
The rising sun shines through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow in the forest.
There are crystal dewdrops hanging on the leaves and grass tips, turning into colorful lights under the bright morning sun.
The early birds chirping in the forest are so sweet and sweet.
It is also a kind of enjoyment for a group of people to walk through the forest paths, breathe the fresh air in the forest, and listen to the beautiful performances of the birds.
Soon, everyone arrived at the woodland where they were yesterday.
First hang up their respective bags of dry food, and then Sheng Xiping assigns today's tasks.
"Our work has been completed, and it will definitely be completed today.
I've been holding hands tightly this morning. If you're almost done and you take a break at noon and you're willing to move, I'll take you for a walk in the woods. Maybe you'll encounter something.
There is a Dadianzi as you walk inside. The dates in the Dianzi should be ripe, so you can pick some.
Gastrodia elata should be unearthed at this time, and if you can come across it, it would be good to dig up a few trees."
Everyone was very happy when they heard this, especially the female educated youths who were very interested in picking jujubes.
The key is that there is nothing delicious these days. Each family used to plant two fruit trees, but they were all cut down in the past few years.
There is a patch of ground fruit in the back land, which has been planted by a team of family members with the intention of selling it. It is collectively owned and cannot be picked casually.
In the past few days, the fruits have just matured, and some naughty children from the forest farm have been stealing them, so the family team has arranged for people to go over and watch, and chase away the people when they see them.
Girls all like to eat snacks and so on. They usually have no conditions, but when they heard that they could pick jujubes, they were all very happy.
There is little work today, and each person has a big ridge.
If I wanted to go for a walk in the woods in the afternoon, I would seize the time to work and shovel grass without even raising my head.
Of course, there are also people who work carelessly, hoeing here and there.
For example, Sun Yunpeng and others came to the forest farm one by one just to hang out.
Moreover, they are not interested in Gastrodia elata and Zaozi, so they are too lazy to move.
The field had long known that these people were difficult to manage and poor at work, so the forestry technicians assigned them numbers when assigning tasks.
Sheng Xiping also led people to work according to the numbers, and who worked in which ridge was recorded in the book.
While waiting for the silviculture technician to come over for inspection, whoever's work is not up to standard will have to rework it alone and expect others to help. That's impossible.
By around 11 o'clock, for many people, only one ridge is left.
Chen Weiguo and the others said that they could simply eat later and finish the rest, so that they would have less worries in the afternoon.
Sheng Xiping didn't object, and everyone else agreed. Just like that, everyone persisted and finished all the remaining work before going back to eat.
"Qinglan, these are the mushroom vermicelli my mother brought, stewed with the pheasant from yesterday. You can take it and eat it."
Sheng Xiping took off his lunch bag from the tree, took out his lunch box, and handed it to Zhou Qinglan.
Zhou Qinglan's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed, "My aunt brought it to you, how can I ask for it?"
Nowadays, every household is having a difficult time, and food is not good.
Zhou Qinglan knew that the Sheng family had six children, and there were many people eating at home. The pheasant was not that big, and it was not enough for the Sheng family. How could she get it?
"It's okay, my mother said that if you eat in the cafeteria, the food in the cafeteria is watery and tasteless.
The food cooked at home is more oily and watery than the food in the canteen, so you should eat more to replenish it."
Sheng Xiping ignored that, stuffed the lunch box into Zhou Qinglan's hand, and turned to leave.
"Then, how about we eat together?" Zhou Qinglan bit her lower lip and asked as if she had made a strong determination.
Sheng Xiping smiled and said, "Okay, I also brought radish, green onions, miso and other things. It's enough to eat together."
So Sheng Xiping placed the hoe horizontally on the ground, and the two of them sat on the hoe handle.
Zhou Qinglan took out the rice she brought and said, "I bought these from the canteen. They are two-fold pancakes and pickles. Don't worry."
In these days, every household in the forest farm has food supplies, and no one has sufficient rations.
Although Zhou Qinglan lives in the Tang family, it is not easy to eat with the Tang family all the time, so most of the time she goes to the forest farm canteen to eat.
In the morning, there were only pancakes, pickles, and porridge in the cafeteria. Zhou Qinglan could only bring pancakes and pickles up the mountain.
Anyway, most people who go to the mountains to bring food are like this these days, and no one thinks anything of it.
Sheng Xiping smiled and opened the lunch box. Inside was a lunch box full of mushrooms, vermicelli, and a few pieces of meat.
The weather is warm, and the dishes are not too cold, and are still somewhat warm.
I left in a hurry this morning and didn’t bring my chopsticks.
This was not difficult for Sheng Xiping, so he casually folded two willow branches and handed them to Zhou Qinglan.
"Come, try my mother's cooking. It's delicious."
Zhou Qinglan took the makeshift chopsticks, picked up a small piece of mushroom and put it in her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Well, it's really delicious. My aunt's cooking is really good."
After coming to the forest farm for such a long time, Zhou Qinglan had already had enough of the bland dishes in the cafeteria.
In addition, Zhang Shuzhen’s craftsmanship is really good, and the mushroom vermicelli stewed with chicken is full of flavor. In Zhou Qinglan’s eyes, isn’t it extremely delicious?
"Eat more if you like it." Sheng Xiping looked at Zhou Qinglan's appearance and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
It is not easy for a girl of 17 or 18 to leave her parents and endure hardships in the mountains.
As Sheng Xiping spoke, he used a willow branch to move the vegetables in the lunch box toward Zhou Qinglan.
Unexpectedly, this time, the chicken legs buried under the vermicelli and mushrooms were exposed.
It was something Sheng Xiping had specially set aside yesterday to give to Sheng Xitai. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuzhen put it in the lunch box.
"Here, here's a chicken drumstick for you to eat."
Sheng Xiping understood his mother's thoughts, so he gave the chicken legs to Zhou Qinglan. "Eat more meat and replenish it."
"No, no, you can eat it. I don't like meat. These mushrooms and vermicelli are both delicious."
Zhou Qinglan shook her head hurriedly. She had eaten enough with Sheng Xiping, and there were only a few pieces of meat in total. How could she have the nerve to eat chicken legs?
"Eat, wait until we are no longer busy, then I will go for a walk in the forest, maybe I will encounter some prey.
In the autumn of previous years, Master and I went into the mountains to hunt, and we could see wild boars, black blinds, and the like."
Sheng Xiping smiled and put the chicken legs on the pancake in Zhou Qinglan's hand.
For him, he has eaten all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but nothing is new.
It's just a chicken drumstick. If he wants to eat it, he can just go and beat it.
"I heard from my cousin that you can hunt, you are so good."
Zhou Qinglan turned her head and looked at Sheng Xiping with admiration, her big bright eyes seemed to be full of stars.
Dear friends, it is very important to catch up on new book issues. If you can catch up on new books, try not to read them. Although I also know that it is very uncomfortable to catch up on new books. Wow.
