Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

The yellow-white walnut meat is squeezed into the walnut shell, and you can tell it tastes good just by smelling it.

Nian took a needle and carefully picked up the walnut meat. He inserted the pin into the wall of the walnut, and with a skillful movement, the walnut meat fell into his hand.

Liushan is more bold, just break the shell, break the shell, break the shell. When you encounter the hard-to-remove core meat, just break the shell.

"It smells so good, and a little salty!" Liu Shan picked up an unopened walnut and threw it in Liu Yu's direction.

Liu Yu looked at the walnut coming straight towards her door. She raised her hand and grabbed it. When she opened it again, the walnut shell was already in pieces.

"Wow! Give me this!" Liu Shan jumped up from the stool with a squeaking scream and ran to Liu Yu to beg for walnuts.

Liu Yu ignored him, picked out the walnut meat and ate it.

Well, it is indeed very fragrant, with a bit of salty and milky flavor.

It has a completely different taste than raw walnuts.

After one sip, the oily, salty, and milky aroma explodes in your mouth, and the aftertaste is even more mellow.

The shell was a bit thick and it was difficult to take out the meat. Liu Yu had some thoughts in her heart when she saw her grandpa, grandma and third uncle struggling to break the walnuts.

"Uncle Third, let's go pick some tomorrow and come back, how about frying them and selling them."

"Here, these walnuts are delicious, but they are too small. The shells are thick and the meat is hard to get out. What price should we sell them for?"

Liu Maoye had a tangled look on his face. He was not optimistic about the market of this walnut. He peeled the big walnut along the seam and the flesh was very complete. Although it was bland and tasteless after one bite, it was because it had a lot of meat!

"Third brother, what was the price of the roasted seeds and nuts in town in the past years?"

Liu Yu saw that Liu Maoye was pessimistic and had the tendency to retreat. In order to avoid disturbing people's hearts, he cut off his third uncle's words and looked for allies instead.

"Dried walnuts cost three cents per catty, while fried walnuts cost one penny per catty. No one in the village would spend such a waste of money to buy half-shelled dried fruits. Most of them are eaten by rich people in towns as a pastime in winter."

When it comes to money-making business, Liu Shan tells everything he knows so that Liu Yu can understand more.

"I heard that the place in Xiawuzui is more affluent. If we sell it cheaper than others, there must be no problem. After all, our walnuts taste really good."

Liu Shan picked up a walnut and handed it to Liu Yu, asking him to help crush it.

"We can't lower the price. If we lower the price of walnuts, we will be squeezed out and the business will not be able to continue. Let's do this. Let's raise the price by one penny per catty."

"What!"

Everyone was a little dumbfounded. Apart from the taste, these walnuts had no advantage in the first place. If they raised the price like this, they really wouldn't be hurting themselves!

"Don't worry, I know what I know, and you will know when the time comes. If it doesn't work, we can sell it to a salesman or a grocery store at a cheaper price, so we won't lose it."

Liu Shan was as curious as a cat, so he hurriedly approached Liu Yu and asked him if he had any good ideas.

"You can't say it. It won't work if you say it. You will know it then!"

"This is too much!" Liu Shan couldn't figure out the answer, so he angrily took a walnut without shell and asked Liu Yu to crush it.

Liu Yu took Liu Shan's fingers and pinched them so hard that Liu Shan felt pain and screamed, "It hurts! It hurts! It hurts...!"

Nian hurriedly drank to Zhi Liuyu and said, "It's neither light nor heavy. It looks like his hand has been pinched and broken. He can't hold the bowl. Be careful if your third aunt asks you to wait on him to eat."

"Hmph!" Liu Yu didn't want to wait on Liu Shan to eat, so he let go of his hand.

Liu Maoye was troubled by the quarrel between the two of them. He was too busy to talk and interrupted: "Let's go tomorrow."

"It will be the same as today. There will be enough time for you to rest on the way back."

After agreeing on the time, each of them took their clothes and pocketed some walnuts and went home.

"Don't forget to bring the bowl when you come tomorrow. It won't be clear after a long time." The old lady told several people.

"Look what mom said, the bowls in each of our families are different, so there's something I can't explain."

"Hmph!" Nian didn't want to settle old scores with him, so she waved them away so she could fasten the fence.

Nian took Liu Yu to clean and put things away. Liu Fusheng took out the two oldest bamboo baskets from the east room and placed them in the east room and the west room. He asked Liu Yu to pour out all the walnuts in the sacks. One was the walnut shells that were afraid of being stuffy. The color is not good-looking, and secondly, it frees up a few pockets.

Six bags of walnuts were poured out. Before the two baskets were filled, the walnuts were poured in. Nian asked him to take off the pot again.

The pot outside has stir-fried gravel today. If you don't wash it carefully and rinse it away, you will be making soup and rice tomorrow, and you will need to specify a mouthful of gravel.

After finishing these tasks, everyone washed up and Liu Yu chatted some gossip with Chang Sheng before being urged by Chang Sheng to go back to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, the lights in the east room were already on.

While Liu Yu was washing up, Nian started kneading noodles while chatting about some household chores: "We don't have much white flour at home. I'll get a basket out in a few days and grind some more flour."

"Yes, I know."

There was an injury in the family that needed to be replenished, so Nian's daily meals were carefully prepared. Although the family did not have a large meal of meat, there was never a shortage of food made from white flour.

Nian was still making oil pancakes on the kang, and Liu Yu was lighting the fire while eating the pancakes that had just come out of the pan.

After eating three pancakes, the old lady wrapped four more pancakes. When Liu Yu saw that there were three pancakes on the chopping board, she took off another pancake that Nian had wrapped.

"What are you doing? We can make a fire and cook when we are hungry at home. You have to go up the mountain to do physical work, so you can't do it on an empty stomach." Nian picked up the pancake again and prepared to stuff it back.

Liu Yu was adamant and refused. He knew Grandma's character. According to the old lady's allocation of the three pancakes on the chopping board, two were for Changsheng and the other was for Grandpa. Those who had good taste would be kept at home first. people.

Although Grandpa doesn’t know how to eat alone, he doesn’t want to see his two elders giving way to each other because of the stutter. If he takes one less, both elders will have both.

When Nian saw that her grandson insisted on not taking it with her, she let it go.

He rolled up the sack and carried it on his back. Because the basket he carried yesterday was still on the mountain, Liu Yu didn't take the basket today.

Nian filled another bamboo tube with hot water and hung it on Liu Yu.

As soon as they finished packing, Liu Maoye came over with the three Liu Fan brothers.

It was almost dawn, the sky was a beautiful grey-blue, and there was a line of orange hidden in the horizon in the distant east.

Once alive, twice familiar, perhaps once passed.

Apart from being a bit detoured, it felt like it wasn’t that far away this time.

Several people walked around the mound and first went to the place where the backpacks were hidden yesterday. They were relieved when they saw that the backpacks were still there.

These walnut trees are tall and strong, and the branches and leaves are densely packed with green fruits. As soon as the bamboo poles are struck, the green fruits will rustle and fall.

Some fruit shells cracked when they fell to the ground. Liu Yu took the bamboo pole and climbed up the tree in twos and twos to find a convenient branch to stand on.

He reached out and took the bamboo pole handed over by Liu Shan, told the others to move away, and started banging.
