Wu Li and others climbed to the top of the tree to beat chestnuts, while Hu Mei and others lit a small fire below.
If the fire hadn't been helped by the Wu family's sister-in-law, those colorful-faced cats, not to mention lighting the fire, might have set the chestnut forest on fire.
I don’t know if there is a fire burning the mountains and forests, I don’t know if I will eat burning chestnuts, or if I will burn the whole person.
Cracking chestnuts is a strenuous job, and you can tell by looking at the sweaty faces of the guys climbing down the tree that this is not an easy job.
"This chestnut is cooked well."
Wu Li wiped his sweat and praised a few girls whose faces were flushed either because they were burned by the fire or because they were excited.
Wu Li wiped it casually, turning himself into a big painted face, which made the few squatting on the ground laugh.
…
Cracking chestnuts is a laborious job, but picking chestnuts is a labor of patience!
While eating, I picked up chestnuts. I had only cut down half of the old trees in the morning, so I was picking up basketfuls of chestnut thorns one at a time.
Even that chestnut grain has been picked up in two baskets full.
"Xiao Li, this year's chestnuts seem to be much bigger than in previous years. The amount is obviously more than in previous years. I will definitely pick up more in one day." The Wu family's sister-in-law picked up a load of chestnut shells in a short time.
, and after a while I picked up another load. The number of tickets this year is not necessarily much larger than in previous years, but this number is indeed larger than in previous years.
"It's enough for each person to carry a load back in the morning. Let's call some more people over in the afternoon. We'll finish this work in one day. If it drags on for a few days, those mountain rats won't be polite to us." Although Wu Li knew that he had watered the space.
The yield of water will increase a lot, but in previous years there were usually two or three chestnuts inside the shell, but today there are four big chestnuts per water!
The chestnut kernels are crispy and sweet. When burned over fire, the taste becomes fragrant, sweet and pink. The taste is even better than the sweetness of previous years.
At noon, after picking up eight loads of chestnut shells and one load of chestnuts and going home, Wu Li and the Wu family's sister-in-law immediately called a group of people to go home for dinner. After eating, they immediately went to the chestnut forest in Camellia Camellia Mountain.
After the one-stop assembly line of picking and picking was formed, the efficiency came out immediately.
At dusk, the last dozen or so loads of chestnuts were carried into the basement of the new house.
Chestnuts do not need to be exposed to the sun to remove their shells, as that would be bad. If chestnuts are dried out in the sun, they will easily deteriorate and become woody, and they will become too bad to be eaten.
Only after it has been allowed to crack naturally in the shade, can you just pick the chestnuts out.
...
The last soup, braised chestnut chicken, is here, everyone can start dinner. "Sister Lin and sister-in-law brought out a large basin of soup, which contained a small whole chicken and big golden chestnuts.
There was something delicious today. Of course Wu Li would not forget to call the village chief and his three uncles and three aunts.
...
"Xiao Li, the chestnuts seem to be particularly delicious this year. I don't know if it's because your chickens are too fresh, or because your chestnuts have become more delicious." The village chief said the old man took a sip of old wine and a bite of chicken nuggets.
, and then a few chestnuts, which made me feel uncomfortable eating.
"Both of them, maybe it's because I ate chestnut stewed chicken for the first time this year, and I felt that this soup was particularly delicious."
Wu Li drank his own Golden Valley wine and ate the vegetables he grew at home, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart.
This feeling is very much like being at home.
"Xiao Li, can't you make a fortune this time when you travel? I heard people say that the small gifts you gave to the villagers and tourists this time totaled no less than several million. You
He said that if I hadn't made a fortune, based on my understanding of you, I wouldn't have been so generous." The third aunt is a sensible person.
"Hehe, I just made a little fortune. Those little things bought in the country of origin are not worth that much money. Everyone accepted them and wore them for fun. I am happy to see them."
"Xiao Li, since you have made a small fortune, shouldn't you make a small contribution to the village?" The village chief also wanted to believe that Wu Li was rich, and he would not forget that the village would also benefit from it.
of.
"Village chief, tell me. If you speak, I will cut my flesh to you." Wu Li was straightforward. Anyway, now that he is short of money, he will be able to provide some facts to the village.
It’s also what I’m happy to see.
"Xiao Li, you have spent the money to repair the ancestral genealogy, so why not renovate the ancestral hall? The more good deeds you do now, the more honor you will have in the ancestral genealogy. If Xiao Li still thinks this is not impressive enough,
It would be fine to get a junior high school indicator for the school and then recruit some better teachers."
"Well, village chief! This matter can't be done like this. I think it's better for the village to take the lead and mobilize everyone to raise funds. At worst, I will be more active and lively! Like the genealogy.
Regarding the matter of being popular, it’s better for everyone to enjoy it together.”
It's not that Wu Li can't get out the money, but he can't stop those guys in the village who want to be part of the family tree, right?
As the saying goes, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them! The gun is also designed to shoot out the first birds!
If it were outside, Wu Li would always come wherever he wanted, but when he came back to the village, of course he would return to his true nature. We would still be the number one in Wujia Village who was a little lazy, a little bad, and a little farmer.
Lazy person, right?
"Let's do what Xiaoli said about the ancestral hall. However, as for the indicators of the village's junior high school, I'm afraid Xiaoli can only run away all by yourself. There is also the recruitment of high-quality teachers, and Xiaoli has to take part.
That’s it.
You see, your clan leader and I both have old arms and legs. Even if we have no face and are illiterate, we cannot escape either of these two things.
Therefore, for the sake of the children in our village, Xiao Li, you should take this matter more seriously." The village chief said at first that it was just an idea, but now he has implemented the matter and forced the task on Wu Li.
.
"I can only do this according to my ability. Although I'm a bit drunk now, I don't dare to brag about it in front of some elders. Anyway, there is still half a year of operation time. I will try my best.
That’s why.”
The first thing Wu Li thought of was Mayor Zhou and Secretary Zhang, the second thought was Sister Ma and Ouyang's absolutely charming girl, and the last thing he thought of was Director Xiao, Manager Wu, Rich Man Wang and Manager Zhao.
Even these guys can't help. Wu Li wants to believe that if you have money now, you can make a fool of yourself. If we are willing to spend a lot of money, is there anything we can't do?
"Just do what you can, and do what you can! Haha, I'm happy today, so I'll eat a few more pieces of chicken." The village chief took a sip of old wine, his face as happy as an old chrysanthemum.
Since Wu Li agreed to run the school for the village, with his current ability, what else can be difficult for him?
…
"Is Xiao Wu at home?"
At the door of the yard, there are two big wolfdogs with a height of 1.5 meters squatting at any time. They don't yell or bark, they just look at them with their eyes. It will make strangers' throats tighten, fearing that the wolfdog will pounce on them if they are dishonest.
If you bite your neck again, the farce of your life will soon end!
The people outside the door are definitely the kind of strangers who come here because of their reputation. Seeing the two little wolves guarding the door, they have no choice but to shout a few times to inform the owner to let them go. (To be continued)
