Chapter 1124 Stepfather 35
At this time, the chicken soup overflowed from the earthen pot. Yuanchun heard the sound, ran over, opened the lid, took out two sticks of firewood, and simmered over low heat.
She looked at Shen Yi and said, "You are lucky. I just caught a pheasant. I will give you a bowl of chicken soup later."
Shen Yi thought it was not good for a man and a woman to be alone in a cave. Shen Yi was about to leave, but Yuanchun persuaded him to stay. He sat down by the fire and said in a cold voice, "Comrade Xu, thank you for giving me the herbs last time. I Mom’s cold is gone.”
"It's just a small effort, you're welcome."
Yuanchun grabbed a handful of fried hazelnuts from a basket and stuffed them into his hand, "Eat and see, I fried wild hazelnuts."
When frying, add some salt, and the hazelnuts taste a little salty in your mouth.
Shen Yi was a cold man who didn't like snacks. After eating a few, he felt that the more he chewed, the more delicious they became, so he started to like them.
Yuan Chun said, "There are many treasures in the back mountains, including hazelnuts, chestnuts, apricot trees, walnuts...these dried fruits can be eaten as food after they are dried and fried. In Hongqi Village, as long as people are not lazy, they will not be hungry." Belly.”
Shen Yi has been in the ministry for five years, and has also taken his subordinates to the mountains for training. They stayed in the mountains for several months. They did not bring food or vegetables, but only some salt. Everything they ate was from the mountains. Looking for food.
As for what kind of food is available in the mountains, it can be said that he knows more about it than Yuanchun, a girl from the mountains.
But Shen Yi still acted like he was listening attentively.
Yuanchun continued, "It's not convenient to cook meat at home. This cave is my secret base. I often go up the mountain to catch some game to improve my food. No one here knows about it except me. You are the second person who knows. I can make this The place is shared with you. If you catch game and it’s not convenient to cook it at home, you can bring it here to cook it, but you can’t touch the hazelnut tree at the entrance of the cave.”
"That's what I discovered. I harvested more than 300 kilograms of hazelnuts last year and sold them to the county supply and marketing cooperative for 60 yuan. This is my secret income. If you want a secret income, just go find dried fruit trees yourself. This There are many dried fruit trees in the back mountains, especially in this deep mountain, where there are no villages. Villagers came in. During the autumn harvest season, many dried fruit trees fell to the ground and rotted. It's a pity. "Wild boars often appear around here, and the villagers dare not come here, so Yuanchun's secret base has always been safe. Today." But Shen Yi found out.
However, Yuanchun doesn't care.
The Shen family are just unlucky people who have been affected by this era. One day, they will return to their original position, so Yuanchun will secretly help them.

Shen Yi asked, "You bring the dried fruits up the mountain and sell them privately, but the commune doesn't care?"
"The county is a hundred miles in radius and is surrounded by mountains. A quarter of the villages in the county rely on mountains to feed themselves. However, because there are many mountains, there is less land.
