They are all big children who grew up in the mountains. Wherever there is an oak tree, there is a clear conscience and there are diligent people who have carried it home several times.

There are also people who come with slightly better conditions, such as the Zhang family.

"Are the three uncles and three aunts here to pick up acorns too?" Someone said hello before he even got closer.

The people in the village knew that the Zhang family had provided the acorn processing method to the village, which was equivalent to giving them a way to survive.

Therefore, I am very grateful to the Zhang family for not even waiting for the whole family to approach, they would say hello.

"Yes, I really liked the acorn noodles I ate yesterday, so I came here to pick some up and keep them," the old man replied.

"Hey! Let me tell you, third uncle, your family is not short of food, so why are you here to snatch this food from us?"

A sarcastic voice sounded from behind. You didn't even need to look to know that it was the lazy Mr. Song. It was strange for this guy to come up the mountain today.

"This mountain belongs to the village. Whoever picks up the things on the mountain belongs to whom. Why can't my family pick it up?" Mrs. Tang took over the words when she saw that her parents-in-law were inconvenient to argue with the younger generation.

"Besides, this acorn noodle was made by my mother-in-law with great effort.

He also gave the recipe to the village so that you can learn to make acorn noodles. Why can't we pick it up? Our family is easy to talk to, but our family is easy to bully?"

Seeing that Tang was full of fire, Mrs. Song walked away angrily.

When the village chief's wife heard what Song said again, she took a few steps and led everyone elsewhere.

"Third uncle, three aunt, two younger brothers and sisters, please don't mind. Mr. Song's words are unpleasant, so don't pay attention to that disgusting thing.

There are a lot of acorns here and there are few people, so let’s pick them up here.” The village chief’s wife is decent in her work. Women in the village come to her to resolve any minor disputes. She is equivalent to the existence of the current women’s director.

After a little interlude, everyone quickly picked up the acorns on the ground, as if the acorns would run away if they were picked up slowly.

And the naughty boy climbed up the tree and shook the branches vigorously, causing acorns to rain from under the tree.

The long-lost smiles finally appeared on the faces of the villagers.

Around late afternoon, almost all the acorns had been picked outside Dahei Mountain.

Each household picked up at least one to two hundred catties, and households with many people and hardworking families had more.

Although acorns are small in size, their flour extraction rate is very high. One pound can produce six to seven taels of flour.

The family that picked up hundreds of kilograms of acorns and gained hundreds of kilograms of grain could not hide the joy on their faces.

Before going down the mountain, the village chief's wife told the villagers: "We have almost collected the goods outside Daheishan. If you want to go inside the mountain, it is best to form a partnership. It would be best if the whole village can work together."

Find a few smart sentries and notify the villagers if there is any danger. Never act alone."

There are wild beasts in the Dahei Mountains, and everyone in the village knows that. The village chief's wife is afraid that the villagers will take risks and go into the mountains alone for the sake of stuttering, and she explains this over and over again.

"Okay, if you want to go into the mountains to pick it up, please meet at the village chief's house at 4:00 tomorrow morning.

If there are any beasts at home, bring some with you so that you can ward off wild beasts.

There are so many people there, maybe the wild beasts come and give us meat to eat, haha..." A tall man, nicknamed Gazi, took the lead and everyone agreed with him.

"Please stay away from the elderly and children at home. Those at home should process the fruits picked up today for easy storage." The village chief's wife reminded again.

Dahei Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles. According to the old people in the village, no one can cross Dahei Mountain. There are countless wolves, insects, tigers and leopards deep in the mountain.

In previous years of disaster, there were also packs of wolves and wild boars that came down from the mountains, causing harm to the villagers and killing many people.

Therefore, people in the village rarely go deep into the Daheishan Mountains and only collect firewood and dig wild vegetables in the periphery.

There are more than 40 households in the village, with more than 600 people, old and young. Although there are many people, there are also many oak trees on the mountain. Han Yun's family is a labor force, and they picked up three to four hundred kilograms of acorns in one day.

After coming home from the mountain, aunts and uncles from the village came to Wang to learn how to make acorn noodles.

There is strength in numbers, and people from the village helped while learning. In just over an hour, all the acorns at home were shelled.
