Chapter 318
The road in the village was too bad for cars to get in. Meng Yao and Jiang Wenlei followed the uncle into the village with their things.

In this era, the rural areas are almost the same, with adobe thatched houses, and the new tile-roofed houses are better.

When I entered the village, it was peaceful and quiet. Maybe it was the reason why everyone was working in the village and the store at this time. After entering the village and walking for a while, I didn't see anyone.

The dog at home smelled a strange smell. There were several barking sounds and the sound of people yelling at the dog. Then someone opened the door with a "squeak" and stuck his head out.

"His second uncle, why did you come back so early today? These two are relatives of your family, haven't you seen them?"

"no!"

Uncle Huang waved his hand and subconsciously asked Meng Yao for her opinion. Seeing that she had no objection, he said, "They are here to collect some walnuts and hawthorns!"

When the man heard this, his eyes sparkled and he inquired: "Are you getting a lot? Let's not talk about anything else here. These walnuts and hawthorns are the best. If you don't believe me, you can go to the house and have a look!"

Meng Yao smiled and said, "The collection is small for the time being, if we need it, we will come again!"

"That's it, that's it, Second Uncle Huang, if you want these two more, you can come to the house and say hello."

Uncle Huang responded with a smile.

After walking a long distance, Uncle Huang introduced to Meng Yao: "People in our village have mountainous land, so they can't grow food. They all plant walnut trees and hawthorn trees, and no one usually harvests them. They are all eaten by themselves!"

"However, the walnuts and hawthorns we have here are really good. The walnuts are thin and fleshy, and the hawthorns are not sour."

Meng Yao agreed with a smile all over her face.

Whether the quality is good or not, you need to see it to know.

There are many people on the street of the village, some are drying food by the side of the road, and some are not busy chatting.

Uncle Huang's family lived on the main street, and they walked and greeted each other along the way. Meng Yao and the others, two strangers, attracted many people's curious eyes.

Uncle Huang's house has an earthen wall and a wooden door, and the door is locked.

When Uncle Huang saw it, he knew that his wife had gone out, "My wife is not at home, I should go to the mountains, she just can't stay idle!"

"We are both old, and we planted a total of one acre of land. We thought it would be enough for us to eat. My wife sneaked up on the mountain by myself, and reclaimed the land, planted some peanuts under the shade of trees, and planted some Sesame, I think I can charge a little more!"

Uncle Huang took out the key, opened the courtyard door, and invited them in.

Maybe it's because the sun is good today, and the walnuts are drying in the yard.

Uncle Huang put the keys away and grabbed one.

The green skin on the outside has been removed, and the dried walnut shell is light yellow, which looks very beautiful.

"Girl, you have a taste, this little brother, you also have a taste."

Meng Yao took it over, the walnuts were indeed heavy, you don't need to open them to know how much meat is inside.

Meng Yao was still looking for something to break the walnuts apart, but there were two "clicks" and "clicks" from the left and right.

Uncle Huang and Jiang Wenlei opened the walnut with one hand.

Meng Yao chuckled, and pinched it herself.

Only then did I discover that the walnut skin is really thin, and it will open when pinched.

Uncle Huang originally wanted to give the walnut in his hand to Meng Yao, but when she saw her pinch it open by herself, he said with a smile: "Our walnuts have very thin skins, and the walnuts are also fragrant. You should try it, girl!"

Meng Yao had already eaten walnuts in her mouth.

As the uncle said, the skin is thin and the meat is rich, and it tastes very fragrant.

Meng Yao tasted the taste, and negotiated the price with the uncle very simply.

Walnuts are expensive in other places, but they can't sell them in this remote place.

Although most of the people in their village planted walnuts, they had no market for them. They hoped that someone would come to harvest them, which would be good, so the price was very low, [-] cents a catty.

Meng Yao didn't have much money in her hand, and she had to open a shop to do business in the future, so she didn't deliberately charge a high price, and accepted the price according to the price set by the uncle.

Uncle Huang's family had three bags of walnuts, and he kept half of the bags for home use, and sold the rest.

In fact, he was a little hesitant to sell the rest of it. It didn't matter whether he and his wife ate or not.

But thinking of a few sons and daughters, I left some for them.

A total of 110 five catties.

There are also those hawthorns. Hawthorns are not as good as walnuts, and they are not easy to store. Basically, no one wants them. Uncle Huang can just give them as much as they want.

Meng Yao calculated the money for the old man, and the old man took the money and closed his mouth happily, saying: "Girl, wait for me for a while, I will take you to the mountain, you want seedlings, yes, the saplings are small, not worth much money, Take it as my gift to you!"

Another saving, Meng Yao thanked her repeatedly.

Jiang Wenlei took a big bag and put all the walnuts in it, while Meng Yao carried a light hawthorn. After waiting for Uncle Huang for a while, he came out, presumably just hiding the money.

Uncle Huang found a straw hat and a basket in the yard, put on a bag and greeted them quickly, "Girl, let's go!"

Meng Yao and the others weighed things in their hands, so people from the village naturally asked.

Uncle Huang's walnuts were sold, which aroused the envy and inquiries of many people.

However, Meng Yao had already collected enough things, so she declined them one by one, and said that she would definitely come and buy what she needed.

Putting these things on the car, Meng Yao originally planned to invite Uncle Wang to get in the car and drive to the foot of the mountain.

How did you know that Uncle Huang waved his hand and refused!

"It's very uncomfortable for me to take this car. It's only a few steps away, so I won't take it. Why don't you go there and wait for me for a while, the road ahead is the way up the mountain."

Seeing the distance, Meng Yao didn't take the car, and let Jiang Wenlei go first, and walked and chatted with Uncle Hu.

Before, it was Meng Yao who asked Uncle Hu a question, but now it is Uncle Hu who asked Meng Yao what he does?

When he knew that Meng Yao was selling food, Uncle Huang gave him a thumbs up.

"I said the dim sum you gave me, my daughter, tastes so good, even better than the ones my daughter bought for me in the store before. They are so delicious. Your craftsmanship is beyond words!"

Meng Yao was a little shy after being praised, "Master, I'm just messing around!"

"Where is the toss? Although I haven't eaten any good food, old man, I can still tell if the food is good or not! My daughter, you are so good at cooking, you must be able to make a lot of money!"

Meng Yao laughed at Uncle Huang's kind words, "Then I will borrow a good word from Uncle Huang!"

This mountain should have existed for a long time, and the road up the mountain was smoothed and solid.

Uncle Huang said that they often take care of the mountain, and neighbors often come to hoe weeds or something. There are snakes, but they are not poisonous. It may be uncomfortable to be stung by insects, scorpions and bees.

Uncle Huang picked up a stick for Meng Yao and asked her to hold it.

If there are weeds, use a stick to explore the way first, and don't go in easily, some grass has thorns, which is uncomfortable to stick on your body.

Meng Yao acted like she was climbing a mountain, holding the long stick, waving it here and there while walking.

And sometimes luck comes, and it can't be stopped.

Meng Yao just randomly poked the dense weeds with a stick, and a pheasant flew out of the weeds with a "crash".

Meng Yao: "..."
