Chapter 22 The Bird Wants to Peel the Nut
There was a cold wind blowing in the forest.People were shocked by the story Le Bo told, and their backs were covered with cold sweat.The little bird standing on top of Si Dongmo's head trembled twice, its soft belly heaved and heaved violently, and its bulging body suddenly collapsed.
Seeing several young people staring blankly at him, Xiaoniaotuanzi was even more frightened and deformed. Lobo changed his face and smiled: "Young guys, don't be nervous. These stories are just rumors, not necessarily It's true. I haven't experienced this incident myself. Maybe the old people in the village have made up this incident, deliberately saying that it is for people who have just entered the mountain to scare them and let them be honest in the forest. Really, don't wander around."
However, no matter how he tried to comfort him, the story had already been told to everyone, and they really met the painted wolf just now, and Ah Cai was still blinded by the evil method it pretended to be, and he is still in a coma.Thinking about the strange wolf, the group was so nervous that they didn't dare to talk, they kept hurrying, and finally left the mountain in the afternoon and returned to Lezhuang.
The feeling of entering the village is wonderful, comfortable and reassuring.No matter how you say it, Qi Yan always likes popular places, no matter towns or villages, it is much better than walking on a mountain where no one is seen for several days.
They drove the cart to Loeb's house.Ah Jin carried Ah Cai into the house and was busy getting medicine for him, while Le Bo and others stayed behind and subcontracted and counted the mountain goods picked by several people.
"This trip into the mountains, we collected 390 catties of herbs, and we shared them equally. We beat two pheasants, both of which belonged to Ah Cai. The other mountain products collected a total of 240 catties. The three of us collected [-] catties. Dongmo's [-] catties and Ah Cai's [-] catties are left."
Le Bo took out Si Dongmo's part, and the two worked together to pack it in a sack.
"We can do simple processing of these herbs and mushrooms at home. However, hazelnuts and chestnuts need to be shelled before they can be sold in the market. Dongmo, how about this - take these fruits of yours with us Take it to Lao Tan's house in the east of the village and ask them to shell it."
Si Dongmo thought for a while, "Uncle Le, what's the price for shelled and unshelled nuts?"
"The unpeeled ones cost ten copper plates per catty. The shelled ones have to be more than doubled, more than 20 copper plates per catty." Loeb replied, "Among them, the money given to Lao Tan's family is five shells per catty. Copper plate."
"Gurgling!"
The bird chirped softly and scratched the man's ear with the tips of its wings.Si Dongmo made up his mind, "Uncle Le, I plan to go home and handle the nut shells myself. Let's go to the market to deliver the goods together!"
Le Bo was slightly surprised: "This...one hundred catties, can you do it all by yourself?"
Si Dongmo smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Uncle Le, I can do well, and I will go to the market with you the morning after tomorrow."
"Okay. Then I'll wait for you to go out together then."
Si Dongmo put away his share of mountain goods.Before he left, seeing Ah Cai had been fed with herbs, he felt relieved and bid farewell to the three Le family members.Dragging a large sack of mountain goods back, Si Dongmo said to the bird above his head: "Xiaohong, after we go back, we have to peel off all the shells in a day and a half."
"Guji!" The bird called out confidently, looking confident.It has learned the pecking technique from the expert woodpecker, and there is probably no bird in the world that can peck better than the woodpecker.If so, it must be a monster!
When Si Dongmo came home, the house was empty. He found a note left by his mother at the door, saying that he and Le Hong had gone to the field together.He first dragged the huge bag into the stove, and dumped all the contents on the ground.
After that, the man and the bird work together.Si Dongmo was responsible for sorting the various mountain products he picked into categories, washing and drying mushrooms, fungus, medicinal herbs, etc., while Qi Yan pecked the nuts he picked with his pointed beak to quickly shell them.
"Duk tuk, tuk tuk!"
From the first five seconds, to two or three seconds, and then practice makes perfect, like an assembly line, one after another, almost every second.The man who was working in the small yard in front of the house was a little surprised when he heard this, the bird was pecking at the husk too fast!
After spreading the herbs on the ground to dry, he entered the house, and saw the little bird pecking at its shell at an extremely fast speed, its body, head, and small beak were even blurred into a blur of red light. .
This continued from the non-stop "tuk tuk tuk" until the sun went down.
Si Dongmo walked towards the stove with a small glass of water.The fiery red fur ball was still pecking one after another, and the collision between the sharp beak and the shell brought up countless debris and flew up, smashing all over the ground.
"Xiaohong, you've worked hard, come drink some water and rest for a while."
"Duk tuk, tuk tuk!"
The man stepped forward, "Xiaohong?"
Looking at the mechanically pecking bird, the man suddenly felt something was wrong.He squatted down and poked the bird's small body, and suddenly felt the little bird shake, then staggered and turned around, rolling its eyes.
"Little Red!"
Amidst Si Dongmo's exclamation, the bird fell to the ground on its back, its beak still pecking at the air continuously.His fainted body was still trembling rhythmically with the pecking...
=====
"...Is Xiaohong okay?"
"It's still asleep, I just fed it water."
"That's good. Oh, a good bird, why did it suddenly faint?"
Qi Yan woke up from the chaos, his eyes were gray.
who am I?Where am i?
"Xiaohong seems to have woken up."
As soon as he opened his eyes, someone poured water to his mouth.Qi Yan smacked his mouth twice and drank the cool water.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.
He heard the man's deep and warm voice softly whispering in his ear: "Xiao Hong, you scared me. You must control it in the future, and you can't work so hard anymore."
In a daze, Qi Yan recalled what happened before he fell into a coma.Inexplicably, he thought of Chaplin in "Modern Times". The worker he played was engaged in the same kind of work mechanically for a long time, so he continued the habit unconsciously, even when he was not working, he repeatedly twisted screw action.
He thought about it, although he had successfully copied the woodpecker's skills, his body hadn't adapted to such high-intensity and high-frequency pecking, and he was so excited that he couldn't stop pecking until he fainted past.
The man took the bird to the table and put it down, and served it a small dish of rice and leaf soup.Qi Yan fainted just now, his mind is still not very flexible, and he barely opened his mouth to eat.
He heard a sound coming from the stove.Turning around, she saw Mrs. Le sitting on the open ground in front of the door, busy shelling the nuts collected by Si Dongmo one by one.
"Mother is helping. Xiaohong, eat quickly."
It is already night now, Mrs. Le and Le Hong must have returned home, but Le Hong is out of sight.However, Qi Yan guessed that the proud and down-and-out young master didn't even bother to help his brother peel the fruit, so he might have gone back to sleep at the moment.
The next day, after Qi Yan rested, he returned to Madam Le's side and peeled nuts with her.As he got closer, he saw that the woman was still very young, and the skin on her face was well maintained, but there were thick calluses on her hands, obviously she had done a lot of rough work.
The old injuries on her hands have not healed yet, she can't do things flexibly, and her eyesight is not very clear.Every time she peeled the shell, she had to bend over, squint her eyes and take a closer look, and then use her fingers to open the shell little by little. After a long time, there were bloodstains all over her fingers. Qi Yan felt sad for a while.
In contrast, the woodpecker's signature skill is much better.This time Qi Yan was very careful, and gradually figured out the trick of pecking. It took a long time to finally remove all the shells.
The man sorted and packed the peeled nuts into bags, and then weighed them one by one.
"That's right. Originally one hundred catties, the nuts after peeling are still fifty or sixty catties. If you sell them for twenty copper coins per catty, you can earn at least one thousand coins this trip!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Le, who had been working with Xiaoniao for a long time, stood up.She had some difficulty moving, and beat her sore back with her hands, but she had a bright smile on her face: "That's good, that's good! It's much easier to earn a thousand copper coins at a time than farming! If you go into the mountain seven or eight times, our family's debt can be almost paid off..."
She said to the man: "Dong Mo, go to the market tomorrow and bring some snacks for the family. Mother hasn't been to town for a long time."
Si Dongmo was taken aback, "I haven't been to the town very much, but I heard that it is very prosperous, with all kinds of food, drink, and entertainment. Mother, come with us too!"
Mrs. Le smiled and shook her head: "Mother has been tired recently. Dongmo, there are many people in the town, and there is a mix of fish and dragons, so it is inevitable to steal chickens and dogs. After you go, be careful, and be careful not to be stolen."
Si Dongmo replied seriously: "Oh, I see."
The next morning, Si Dongmo led the bird to the entrance of the village, and met A Jin and A Sheng who were dragging a cart.The two brothers of the Le family were still driving the small cart pulled by a donkey, and all kinds of mountain goods were neatly packed in a pile in the cart. When they saw Si Dongmo, they hurriedly greeted: "Hey, Brother Mo, let's go quickly, hurry up!" A morning set!"
Si Dongmo followed quickly, unloaded the carrying bag from his back, and put it on the donkey cart: "In such a hurry? Why, is there anything going on in this town in the morning?"
Ah Jin approached mysteriously: "There is a restaurant in the town that sells very delicious fish meal! But his fish meal is only sold for one morning every day. Let's start from the village now, maybe we can try it in time!"
The author has something to say: A little angel was frightened by the story of the painted wolf in the first two chapters, and left a message expressing a little fear.Let me touch everyone here~ In fact, this article generally follows the route of making money by selling cute, funny, sweet pets, and occasionally adding some folklore from the mountains as seasonings.If there are similar high-energy plots in the future, I will give an early warning.
With this in mind, I did not include the ending of the story of the painted wolf and the two hunters in the text.Interested readers can guess how the painted wolf hid at that time, and how he killed the two hunters by himself. Just leave a message in the comment area, and the top 5 guesses will win prizes~
