Chapter 41 Picking the Pine Tower

Zhou Yue laughed, "Uncle, my father asked me to dress up like this, it is more convenient and safe on the road! I will be a boy in the future! Haha!"

Only then did Qian Ruiping realize the reason, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Your father did the right thing. What will happen along the way, boys are more convenient."

Xiao An also recalled, "That's right, sometimes being good-looking is not a good thing. Master Zhou really has a vision!"

The people in the village also understood what it meant, and told their female relatives to wear more shabby clothes, put some ashes on their faces, and mess up their hair.

"Hey, Xiao...Xiaosi, why are you going?" Zhou Qing saw Zhou Yue walking up the mountain and wanted to call her little sister, but noticed her current dress and changed her tune temporarily.

Junior?Isn't her second brother too perfunctory?
Zhou Yue turned around and glared at Zhou Qing, "Second Brother, I'll go to the mountain and look around to see if there is anything to eat."

"I'll go with you!" As soon as he said to go up the mountain, Zhou Qing immediately followed.

Zhou Yue ignored him and walked up the mountain by herself, anyway, his second brother could follow.

I saw some wild vegetables on the road, but Zhou Yue didn't pick them. Wild vegetables are everywhere, so she doesn't need to bother.There are some wild fruits, and now it's autumn, there are a lot of wild fruits, Zhou Yue picked a few, and put them in the front of the clothes, forgetting to bring a basket.

Zhou Qing didn't pick them, he didn't like eating these sour fruits.He looked around to see what prey he could find.

Until she saw a pine forest in front of her, Zhou Yue's eyes lit up. The pine nuts were very delicious, so she gave up on the wild fruits and said, "Second brother, come quickly!"

As soon as Zhou Qing heard Zhou Yue shouting, he thought something happened to her, so he ran over immediately, "What's wrong, little sister?"

"Second brother, you can pick the pine cones with me, this is delicious!" Zhou Yue pointed at the pine cones on the tree and said.

"Is this thing edible?" Zhou Qing asked doubtfully. He had never seen anyone eating this, but some children picked it for fun.

"It's edible, pick it quickly!" Zhou Yue didn't talk nonsense with him, there was not much time to rest, so he had to hurry up.

"Okay!" Zhou Qing responded. Anyway, his little sister knew a lot, so he just wanted to be obedient, so he went to pick the pine cone.

Zhou Yue quietly put the wild fruits she picked into the space, and then went to pick pine cones. Seeing that her clothes couldn't hold them anymore, she put some of the wild fruits into the space and continued picking.

When the last two came back with a pile of pine cones, the villagers thought they had found something good. When they saw that it was a pine cone, they all pouted, "My child, I just want to play." After muttering, they stopped paying attention .

Qian Guilan also saw it, "Why are you two picking this?" She didn't believe that Zhou Yue was doing it for fun, her daughter has always had her own opinions, so it must be medicinal materials.

"Eat, this is delicious!" Zhou Yue explained.

"Can this be eaten?" Qian Guilan frowned, looking at the pine cone, it looks like tree bark, how can I eat it?
As soon as they heard that they could eat, Zhou Lin and Zhou Ming immediately gathered around. Yueyue must be right about what they can eat, and they have felt it these days!

"How do you eat this?" Zhou Ming asked.

"It can be eaten roasted or boiled. There are pine nuts in it, and you can eat the pine nuts in it," Zhou Yue said.

"Then let's bake some for dinner at night!" Zhou Jiacheng said, he also wanted to taste the taste of this pine nut.

Zhou Yue and Zhou Qing put the pine cone in the basket on the oxcart, then washed their hands and prepared to eat.

After taking out the steamed buns, Qian Guilan sprinkled a handful of chopped wild onions into the mushroom soup in the pot, and gave a bowl to each member of the family, as well as a bowl to Mrs. He.

There were still some in the pot, and she took them out in a big bowl for Qian Ruiping and the others. "Mother, we made mushroom soup, I'll give you a try." Qian Guilan put down the soup and brought five more buns, "This is the bun we steamed last night, it's convenient to eat on the road, you should try it too."

Qian Ruiping took a look, "Thank you, sister, you have prepared well, we didn't even have time to prepare." They were cooking rice, ready to eat pickles.

"There's nothing to be thankful for. It happened suddenly, and it's normal that I didn't have time to prepare. You guys are eating, and I'm going back to eat too." If it wasn't for Zhou Yue's suggestion, she probably wouldn't have thought of preparing meals.

Qian Ruiping nodded, and waved her to hurry up and eat.

Master He ate the steamed buns and mushroom soup sent by the Zhou family, and felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach. He sat in the carriage all morning, and his stomach was upside down and churning violently.This will make him feel more comfortable. He also feels that the Zhou family is considerate and always respects him. Another point is that the craftsmanship is very good and he is extremely satisfied.

Most of the other people in the village cook porridge, which saves trouble and gives them more time to rest.Seeing the Zhou family eating steamed stuffed buns, they were also very envious, but everyone knew that the Zhou family had a better life now, and their lo mei was the best in the town, so they must have made a lot of money, and that was their skill.

After resting for an hour at noon, the team continued on their way. After less than [-] miles, the team behind became longer and longer. Zhou Jiacheng saw that this was not going to work, so he stopped the ox cart.

"The people behind can't walk anymore. Let's rest for a while." Zhou Jiacheng said to the village chief. If he continues walking, he is afraid that some people will fall behind.

"Okay!" The village chief also saw that the queue behind was very long, so the people in front stopped and waited for the people behind to catch up.

"Boss, second child, go around and see if there is a suitable place to rest?" Zhou Jiacheng said to Zhou Lin and Zhou Qing.

After the two agreed, they immediately walked forward.

This section of the road around the mountain has not yet been completed, but people are very tired, and it is estimated that they will rest early today.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the two brothers came back. "Father, turn a corner ahead, there is a flat place, there is a river beach, it is more convenient to get water, suitable for rest." Zhou Lin reported the situation to Zhou Jiacheng.

Zhou Jiacheng nodded and went to discuss with the village chief. On the first day of traveling, everyone was not used to it and asked the villagers to rest early.

With the consent of the village chief, Zhou Jiacheng drove the bullock cart forward. The villagers behind him were not sure, so they rested for a while and were about to go on their way?
After turning the corner, everyone saw the river beach. Zhou Jiacheng stopped the ox cart and said to everyone: "I will rest here tonight. After a long day of driving, everyone is also tired. Rest early today. Get water here." It’s easier to cook.”

When everyone heard this, they were very happy to have an early rest today.They all took out tools for cooking and fetching water, preparing to eat early and rest early.

Zhou Yue jumped off the bullock cart, just in time to see Master He's pale face, is this sick?Zhou Yue walked over, "Master, your complexion is not very good, are you sick? Let me show you!"
