The next day was a Saturday, so there was no need to send the girls to school. Zhang Taiping did some exercise and then gave instructions on Ye Ling's practice. After that, nothing happened at home.

The decoration of the sedan chair was left to Cai Yazhi and the others, while Zhang Taiping walked towards the village chief's house to discuss building a pigsty with Wang Gui and others.

Interlacing rows is like separating mountains. This cannot be accomplished by imagination. Even Old Man Qian, the bricklayer in the village, is a little helpless. He must be just building a square or something in the village. There must be many instruments installed in it.

I have never built a pig house before, and I don’t dare to do it all without experience.

Finally, Wang Gui contacted a construction team in the city, explained all the requirements, and asked them to complete the construction of the pig house. Although it would definitely cost more than building it by himself, it was better than insurance.

It's not easy to make mistakes. It must be that this is what people in this world rely on for their livelihood.

Then the first thing to do is to choose the address of the pig farm.

Several people walked around the village several times, surveyed the terrain, and selected the wasteland east of the wheat field.

This piece of wasteland is full of stones and there are two piles of stones, making it impossible to grow crops. There are two advantages to choosing this piece of land. One is that it belongs to the land that has not been divided by the village, so there is no dispute. The other is that it has to do with threshing wheat.

The venue is next to each other, so transportation is relatively convenient.

Zhang Taiping also talked about the problem of the drainage pipeline under the pig house and the construction of the biogas pool, and the engineering team also took over.

By the time I got home after doing this, it was already past lunch time.

"Is there anything to eat?" Zhang Taiping asked when he returned home and sat down on the bench. It was not that he was physically tired, but mainly that he felt mentally tired because he had to concentrate and cope.

"Yes, we have dumplings for lunch. Can you help me? I'll go over and make them for you." Cai Yazhi put down what she was busy with and went into the kitchen.

Naturally, what she was busy with was the sedan. The sedan had been almost decorated, and it was all about happiness. On the front was an embroidered dragon and phoenix cross pattern, and then there were hanging curtains made of broken jade.

There are also two strings of wind chimes hanging on each of the eight corners, which will leave a ringing sound as the sedan runs.

It didn't take long for Cai Yazhi to come out with a small half bowl of dumplings. The dumplings at noon were filled with meat and radish and egg and radish. The dumplings given to Zhang Taiping were naturally filled with meat and radish.

Radish is definitely a good thing. There is a saying that "radish in winter is as good as ginseng", and it is most delicious when made into dumplings.

Zhang Taiping took one bite and half of it was finished in a few minutes.

After this, Xiao Yaya and Xiao Tiantian came in from outside, ran to Zhang Taiping and asked: "Dad, what are you eating?"

Zhang Taiping smiled unconsciously and stuffed a dumpling into each of the two little girls' mouths.

Asked: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Yaya said honestly.

"Didn't you eat at noon?" Zhang Taiping thought they had eaten. "What did they do?"

"We're going to the mountain." As she said this, the little girl took out the things hidden behind her and showed them to Zhang Taiping.

It turned out to be two pine towers, one layer above another like a small tower, and the top flaps were dry and cracked.

Yaya took out another handful of pine nuts from her pocket and said, "These are the pine nuts in the pine cone. They are edible and more delicious than melon seeds." She put a handful of pine nuts into Zhang Taiping's hand and took them out every day.

A handful of pine nuts came out and put into Zhang Taiping's hand.

Cai Yazhi also spotted the two little girls, came over and scolded them for a few words, and then went into the kitchen again.

After Cai Yazhi entered the kitchen, Yaya lay on Zhang Taiping's lap and said, "Dad, let's go to the mountain to pick pine nuts."

Zhang Taiping smiled and nodded in agreement: "But you two have to eat before you go."

The two little girls nodded dreamily: "Call Wukong up again, he is the best at climbing trees."

The two little girls were anxious, so Cai Yazhi gave them dumplings and after eating a few, they lost patience and all went into Zhang Taiping's stomach.

After eating, he said hello to Cai Yazhi, then led the two little girls and called out Wukong who was watching TV in the house. What was rare was that Xiao Zi and Big Tail Squirrel, whom he had not seen for a long time, were also at home today. These two little girls

Thing is an expert at picking pine cones. Naturally, he was followed by two big dogs, Lion and Ghostface.

There were pine trees everywhere on the mountain, and the pine towers were also extremely prosperous. Zhang Taiping took two snakeskin bags and a pole.

When going up the mountain, I put the two little girls on my shoulders, but they still looked like they were walking on flat ground without any effort at all.

"Okay, let's stay here." Zhang Taiping walked to a pine forest and put the two little girls down and said.

Most of the pine trees in the Qinling Mountains are evergreen. The forest where Zhang Taiping and the others are now is an evergreen pine forest. Not to mention that it is green in mid-autumn now. Even in late winter when it is covered with heavy snow, it can still remain green in the vast whiteness.

Emerald green.

As Zhang Taiping spoke, Wukong, Xiaozi and the big-tailed squirrel stopped. Wukong jumped down from the tree and stood next to Zhang Taiping. Ghostface and Lion first went into the forest to see the terrain and dangers.

After the two big dogs came back from a patrol, Zhang Taiping took out a pine cone and gestured towards the three main generals.

Wukong was as smart as a child and immediately understood what Zhang Taiping meant. He climbed up the tree, picked the nearby pine cone and threw it down.

Although the two little ones are not as smart as Wukong, they quickly figured out what their master meant. They reached the tree in a few jumps, and they were still in a high position where Wukong couldn't reach. They didn't need claws, just a small mouth.

As soon as the child bites it, the pine cones fall like rain.

"Wow, there are so many!" the two little girls shouted happily, then turned into two dancing butterflies and shuttled under the pine tree.

Zhang Taiping didn't do anything, he just lit a cigarette and watched the two little girls busy.

The three guys who had been living in the trees all year round were very efficient in doing this kind of thing, and soon the ground was covered with pine cones, which were only found on a few nearby trees.

Zhang Taiping shouted: "Okay, that's all."

After Wukong heard Zhang Taiping's shout, he stopped, but instead of getting off the tree, he picked a pine cone and sat on the tree to enjoy it on the spot.

The two little beasts came down from the tree. To them, a tree more than ten meters high was no different from the plain. The two little girls surrounding them also used their little mouths to help pick up the scattered pine cones, which made them very amused.

They giggled and laughed.

After picking up all the pine cones, it looked like a small mountain. Naturally, two snakeskin bags could not fit so many. When the two little girls were not paying attention, they put most of them into the space with a wave of their hands.

Just in time for Wukong who was looking over from the tree to see it, this guy had a cleverness that was not inferior to anyone else. He immediately realized that something was unusual, threw away the pine cone in his hand and slipped down from the tree. Then he walked around

Zhang Taiping looked left and right, but couldn't figure out why. He scratched his head and ears anxiously.

"Zhizhi." Wukong pointed to the pine tower and then to Zhang Taiping.

The two little girls didn't understand what was wrong with Wukong, but they also found that the pine cone was missing a lot. Yaya asked in surprise: "Dad, why is the pine cone missing?"

"Let Wukong steal it." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

"Did you steal Wukong?" Yaya was successfully diverted and started questioning Wukong.

Wukong waved his hands repeatedly, during which he pointed at Zhang Taiping, meaning that he had done it.

Naturally, Yaya wouldn't believe what Wukong said. She followed Fan Ming's example and poked Wukong's forehead and said, "Even if you don't admit it, you still falsely accuse dad, huh!"

Wukong looked at Zhang Taiping and saw Zhang Taiping standing on the side laughing. He scratched his head with a grimace and felt that he had been wronged and felt very aggrieved.

Zhang Taiping watched them quarrel for a while and said: "Okay, quickly put these pine cones into the bag, we should go down the mountain, otherwise your mother will be worried again when it gets dark soon."

There were just two bags left, so Zhang Taiping put the two little girls on his shoulders, picked up the two bags on the pole, followed by several small animals, and flew down the mountain.

The little girl knew how to be considerate of her father, so she leaned into Zhang Taiping's ear and said, "Dad, how about you let the lion carry me, and let the ghost face carry Tiantian?"

Since ancient times, there have been children in the village who rode pigs when they were young, rained when they grew up and got married, snowed when they rode sheep, and snowed when they rode dogs and cows... But Zhang Taiping knew that this was just what people said, and there was no truth in it.

, there was no need to care at all, and he nodded and agreed to Yaya's statement.

He stopped and called the two big dogs to him, and first put Yaya on the lion. The lion was now about the same size as Ghost Face, like a calf, and it was naturally a little heavy to carry a weight of thirty or forty kilograms.

No problems at all.

Then he put Tiantian on Ghost Face's back, and then said while hiding from the two little girls: "Hold the dog's neck, be careful of it falling. Don't let go after filling it, otherwise it will turn into a gourd."

Carrying the little girl on their backs, and receiving instructions from Zhang Taiping, the two dogs did not run very fast, but could only walk in front of Zhang Taiping.

When they returned home, the two little girls still refused to get off the back of the big dog. They went to the village to show off some more before they came back. Now they were envious of those boys and girls. For the people in Yaya's family

They were in awe and fear of the three big dogs. How could they not be envious of the little girl now riding on the back of the big dogs? Unfortunately, their own native dog was too small to carry them.

There is no one sleeping on the hot bed in the kitchen that is connected to the stove. It is still a little too hot to sleep on, so it is still idle for the time being. Zhang Taiping put two bags of pine cones on it and spread them out, waiting for them to dry tomorrow.

You can peel out the pine nuts.

Fan Ming took a pine cone and put the pine nuts into his mouth while asking: "Brother, why didn't you call me when you went up the mountain?"

Zhang Taiping said: "I didn't see you at home at two o'clock."

"Well, I was at Da Nier's house around two o'clock. She came back last night," Fan Ming said.

"Then there's nothing I can do, I don't know where you are." Zhang Taiping spread his hands and said.

Fan Ming no longer struggled with this issue. He tasted the pine nuts and said, "It tastes good, better than melon seeds."

Pine nuts, also known as pine nut kernels, sea pine nuts, etc., are not only delicious food, but also a good dietary supplement. Therefore, they are known as the "longevity fruit" and have been highly praised by doctors and nutrition scholars of the past dynasties.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" states that it "is sweet in taste and replenishes blood, and if the blood is sufficient, the five internal organs will be moisturized by themselves, and they will become white and not hungry. Immortals take this food and eat more of it, so it can prolong life and make themselves lighter." And "Da Sheng Wula Zhi"

It is also recorded in "Dianquanshu" that the Qing Palace once listed pine nuts as an imperial food. This shows its nutritional value.

What most people can’t imagine is that pine nuts are extremely rich in vitamin E, which can be said to be the champion among all nuts. The main functions of vitamin E include beauty and anti-aging, and it is the closest friend of women.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more of it. If you eat too much of this food, it will have a beauty effect."

Fan Ming didn't have much joy on his face. He looked at the pine nuts in his hand, which were smaller than the lotus seeds, and asked: "Doesn't this also have the same... side effects as the lotus seeds?"

Zhang Taiping knew that she was frightened by persimmons and lotus seeds, so he smiled and shook his head to comfort her and said: "On the contrary, this thing has the effect of detoxification and laxative, coupled with the beauty effect, it is very good for women."

It’s really good stuff.”

"Is this it?" Fan Ming then showed a surprised expression.

Zhang Taiping nodded.

When Fan Ming saw Zhang Taiping's affirmation, his expression of joy showed on his face, and then he reincarnated and ran out.

Zhang Taiping didn't know what she was doing out there, so he just smiled and shook his head.

There are many kinds of delicacies made with it, most of which are exquisite snacks. I used to see a lot of methods on the Internet, but I rarely came into contact with pine nuts, so I naturally didn’t have the chance to try them. Now that I have pine nuts, I naturally have the opportunity.

Make something delicious for the kids.

Fan Ming ran in after a while and said: "I checked on the Internet, you are right." Then he asked, "When can these pine nuts be used?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "It's basically dry this season. It just needs to be baked here for one more night. It can be taken out and beaten with a stick tomorrow."

"That's good." Fan Ming said, and then he said as if he remembered something, "I was at Da Nier's place today, and the melon seeds she brought back from the city had several flavors, such as cream, spiced, etc. But...

It’s delicious. Can our sunflower seeds be fried to produce this kind of flavor?”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Yes, as long as there are condiments. If you want to eat it, I will buy some things when I go to the city in two days and fry them. Even these pine nuts can be cooked in the same way."

"Okay, okay." Fan Ming naturally agreed with both hands.

At night Zhang Taiping entered the space.

It is difficult to peel the pine nuts out of the pine cone outside, but there is no such problem in space. All the pine nuts need to do is to float out of the pine cone with just a thought.

Cai Yazhi next to her said in surprise: "Yeah! There is also this function. Then you don't have to peel the buds in winter. You just need to put them into the space and let you peel them off automatically."

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "That kind of formation is too big, and it's hard for people to explain."

Cai Yazhi also realized that if all the buds were peeled off overnight, it would be a weird thing if people did not suspect it. She immediately gave up the idea, keeping secrets in his heart was the most important thing.

This time, I didn’t stay in the space for too long this coming year. I just sowed the peeled pine nuts on the barren hills on the edge of the grassland and came out.
