Rebirth after the 1950s

The leader of the brigade considered that everyone went into the mountains together as a family, including children, and was afraid that the big guys from the mountain would come down and scare or hurt people, so they discussed with several brigade groups when to go up the mountain to hunt, and the prey they caught would be distributed uniformly when they came back. .

Each household can send one person, and the person who sends the person can get an extra ten pounds of meat, and the rest will be divided equally among the heads.The three of us discussed this matter.

"Are you two going?"

"Are you going then?" Chen Junjie asked

"Don't plan to go?"

"why"

"It's very simple. It's all you gay men who go there. Even though I'm young, I still pay attention to my reputation, don't I?"

"What you said is indeed right," said Chen Enpeng

"What about you?"

"We don't plan to go either. Although we want to eat meat, we have to eat it if we have our lives. Not to mention that the two of us are not as skilled as you, but that we are not familiar with the people in the brigade. Who would be in such a dangerous place?" I will give you my back when the time comes, and it will be good if you don’t do anything dirty when the time comes." Chen Enpeng said

"indeed"

"At worst, if there are any leftovers by then, we can just buy some," Chen Junjie said.

"This is also a way. I won't say whether I can buy it or not. Life is the most important thing. You guys think so."

"Indeed, but I don't know what kind of meat we can buy then" Chen Junjie asked worriedly

"It's hard to say. What's left in the end is the bones. At worst, we can just come back and make soup to drink."

"you're right"

After the three of us discussed it, we didn't go. Instead, we went into the mountains to either collect dry firewood or pine nuts and walnuts.

Every time I go into the mountains, I put a nylon bag in my backpack. In addition, I also secretly put it in the space.I have also harvested the crops grown in the yard in the space. Now the yard is empty. No matter what I see on the mountain, as long as it is edible or dry firewood, I will move it into the space. The things inside are almost the same as those in the space. There are just as many as I put outside, all in piles.

I am very strong, so instead of putting a bundle of firewood on top and then going down the mountain after Chen Enpeng and his two full baskets, I filled the bags, picked up two bundles of firewood, and carried them down the mountain with wooden sticks.

However, my steps are faster than others, and I basically don’t spend much time with them.Most of them are at the junction of Zhongwei and deep mountains.Now some of the strong laborers in the brigade have gone into the mountains, and this place is relatively safe.Even if there are fish that slip through the net, they are just shrimps.

Not only can you more or less catch prey if you go up the mountain and into this area, either hares or pheasants, but you can also find a lot of pheasant eggs.

The hunting team went into the mountains for three days and two nights.This is all agreed upon.Taking advantage of this time, when no one came to this place, I discovered a chestnut forest.Knowing that Chen Enpeng and the others did not have much food, he told them the news and said, "Would you two go? If you don't, that piece of land will be mine."

"Go, it's impossible not to go. The two of us have roughly estimated that the food we earn may not be enough for half a year," Chen Enpeng said

"Yes! Mianmian, thank you very much. After all, these chestnuts are also food."

"Okay, don't be so sad. In that case, let's bring lunch and a few more bags tomorrow. We'll put it in the bags in the morning and pick it up the mountain in the afternoon. Just avoid other people, you know?"

"Don't worry about this," Chen Enpeng said

"That's it, whoever loses it then will be the one to lose it."

"That's not okay." Chen Junjie was not happy when he heard it. The two of them, besides, Mianmian discovered this chestnut, so he said

"Okay, you two may not be able to catch me."

Chen Enpeng thought for a while and said: "If it works, I'll support you."

In this way, we went into the mountains at dawn, regardless of whether there was dew or not. When we arrived at the destination, we started to pack our bags. We didn’t care if we couldn’t afford the shells. We first filled the bags and then the backpacks. .After lunch and a short rest, we hid the bag in the weeds and covered it with a layer of weeds.Everyone is carrying a backpack. The two of them pick up two bags each, and they each pick up four bags.Just go down the mountain.Recently, I have been running in the mountains every day. I know where there are few people and where there are many people, and I also know the trails. At the same time, I can run the fastest and closest, and I can even create a trail.He said: "You two follow me and don't talk. Although this place is usually empty, everyone is either looking for food or collecting firewood on the mountain. There must be someone nearby more or less."

"Okay, we listen to you"

"it is good"

Just like that, carrying a basket and carrying a load.They all went down the mountain an hour later than usual.When I got home, I put down my things, drank a bowl of water first, quickly poured the chestnuts in the backpack and bag on the ground, picked up the backpack, bag, and wooden sticks, and set off together again.It’s a quick climb up the mountain and we’ll be there in an hour.First, fill the panniers and bags.Just carry it down and carry the rest back. However, you can only fill the backpack, not the bag, either because of lack of time or because it is always unsafe on the mountain at night.A forest of chestnuts, finally picked up before the hunter went down the mountain.

Thinking of the chestnuts in the yard, Chen Junjie said: "I finally feel more at ease. How do I get these chestnuts and how do I preserve them?"

The three of us are now in the square at the entrance of the brigade, where are we looking at the prey they found?Chen Enpeng was very talkative and helped out in front. The two of us were watching together when I heard Chen Junjie ask. I thought about it and said, "Where can I put it in the sun for a few days? After the heavy snow closes the mountains and there is nothing to do, We can break it open with stones in the house, pick out the chestnuts inside, score them with a knife, and eat them roasted or boiled. If you are worried that you can’t eat them and they will rot easily, then boil them After it's cooked, peel it off, fry it in a pot until it loses the moisture, crush it and make porridge for drinking. When the weather gets warm tomorrow when spring starts, put it in the sun and dry it vigorously. It will definitely last a long time. Longer."

After hearing the sermon, Chen Junjie felt that there was a way to do it. Besides, there was nothing to do in the winter, so he could just do it slowly. He wanted to understand and asked, "How to store walnuts, pine nuts and cobs?"

"For these walnuts, after removing the outer layer of green skin, just put them in the yard to dry. After drying, just pack them up and put them in a high place to prevent them from getting damp. This can be stored for about half a year. As for pine nuts, it's even easier. Just dry it and pack it, but just fry it when you want to eat it. But if it is stored well, it can be stored for one or two years. As for hazelnuts? Store them in a dry and ventilated place. Keep for about 2-3 months.”

"So it is!"
