"Feichi, what are you holding in your hand?"

"This?" Ying Feichi said with some embarrassment, "Gu Lu Cone."

As a teenager with a different experience than ordinary people, Ying Feichi spent his childhood in boring practice, and spent ten years from childhood to teenager copying books.Therefore, Ying Feichi is an out-and-out child without childhood.Therefore, when several children in the sixth grade gathered together to play with a round, cone-shaped fruit, he couldn't help but be attracted.

"This is called Gulu Cone." Zhou Man's No. [-] student assistant, Mei Ding, said, spreading out his small white and tender palms.

On the palm of her hand is a bulging cone-shaped fruit, about the size of Ying Feichi's thumb. The top of the fruit is inserted into a short handle by thin bamboo branches.On this day, several children in Shangguanjiangtun had this kind of small toy. They found a flat ground and rotated the Gulu cone. Whoever spins the Gulu cone for the longest time will win.

Ying Feichi felt a little itchy when he saw it, he couldn't bear to ask the children for it, but after a while he was troubled, he found a way - when he ran all over the mountain to carve weeding charms for the tea mountain, he saw a lot of this kind of fruit beside the tea mountain .So Ying Feichi went to the mountain and picked up a large handful of bone cones very quickly while he was free from school. He was going to practice his skills tonight and make gestures with the children tomorrow.Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Zhou Man as soon as he returned to the yard.

"Gulu Cone?" Zhou Man also grew up in Guanjiang, how could he not know this kind of toy?He was afraid of hurting the little Taoist's self-esteem, and he also wanted to let him relive the joy of childhood, so he didn't say anything, just rubbed Ying Feichi's head, turned around and went into the kitchen to cook.

Although there are spells that can be automated, it is always not as delicious as the meals made by hand.

"Huh? Strange..."

In the middle of Zhou Man's cooking, Ying Feichi came in with his Gu Lu Cone in a small dustpan, and frowned: "Zhou Man, I seem to have picked up the wrong thing, please help me take a look, what's wrong with this Gu Lu Cone? Is it different from Sister Town and the others?"

"Let me take a look." Zhou Man turned his head to look while stirring the vegetables in the pot, his gaze suddenly froze: "Fei Chi, wait!"

"What's the matter?" Ying Feichi was taken aback by his sudden glowing eyes, "This bone cone..."

"Feichi, help me peel off the shells of these bone cones and keep the nuts." Zhou Man quickly stir-fried, his eyes full of excitement.

The light was exactly the same as when the labor shortage in Chashan was solved. Ying Feichi knew that he had found the way to "continue to make money" he said that day, so he didn't hesitate at the moment, and immediately squatted down and pulled out the horn knife he carried with him Peel off the shell.

"Zhou Man, it's done!" Ying Feichi stood up holding the dustpan.

"Well, very good." Zhou Man dried his clean hands, touched Ying Feichi's head with one hand, and picked up a Gulucone nut and put it in his mouth with the other.

"Zhou Man?" Ying Feichi asked worriedly.Sister Town told him that the nuts of Gulucone are not edible, so at the end of November, there were no birds to peck at the riverside.Although Zhou Man is already in the late stage of Qi refining and will soon build a foundation, but I don't know if it can prevent poison, just in case...

"Feichi, where did you pick it up?!" Zhou Man swallowed the nut in his mouth, showing a happy expression for the first time.

"By the side of the tea mountain." Ying Feichi held his wrist with one hand and said with confidence that his pulse was normal and there was no sign of poisoning. "There are a lot of them. Every tea mountain has a lot of them, more than tea seed trees. Zhou Man, what is this?"

"It's hazelnuts!" Zhou Man explained with a smile, "Hazelnuts are one of the four major nuts in the world, and they are rare in the south. Wild hazelnuts are concentrated in the northeast and north China, and wild hazelnuts are rarely so big. Unexpectedly, there are so many hazelnuts around our village! This is great, and I can make some money before the Chinese New Year!"

Ying Feichi was also very happy when he heard this: "So, are you going to send a notice to the students again?"

"Don't worry, there is a lot of preliminary work to do." Zhou Man was happy, and soon calmed down. "First of all, contact Luo Rui and ask him to do a market survey to see how much the hazelnuts are worth in the city."

"Okay!" Ying Feichi immediately fetched the Tong Ming Jian and connected it to the other end, calling, "Brother Luo Rui, are you there? Zhou Man is looking for you!"

"What's the matter?" Luo Rui quickly appeared in the mirror.

"Luo Rui, investigate the situation of Hazel in L City as soon as possible."

"Hazel?" Luo Rui's expression was cool, "What is Hazel? A female ghost who crawls out of the TV?"

"Don't look at so many dishes." Zhou Man sighed, pointing to the nuts in the dustpan. "That's it."

"This kind?" Luo Rui looked puzzled, nodded and said, "I'll report to you as soon as possible."

"En." Zhou Man expressed his satisfaction, and started to work on the second task, which was to investigate how many hazelnuts there were in Guanjiang Village.

The distribution of tea mountains in Guanjiang Village is very scattered, because the places suitable for building houses in the mountainous area are very scattered, and the time is relatively tight. Zhou Man can only take Yingfei Pond and Tongmingjian up the mountain at night.Fortunately, practitioners have plenty of energy, and they are fine without sleep for a few days.

After Tongmingjian scanned and compared with the stored data, after several days of investigation, Zhou Man finally found out the situation of the hazelnuts in Guanjiang Village.Hazelnuts are divided into three basic types: flat hazelnuts, European hazelnuts, and flat-European hybrid hazelnuts. Among them, hybrid hazelnuts have the highest yield per mu, about 500-1000 catties, while European hazelnuts are slightly less, with a yield of 400-600 catties per mu. It is a wild variety in Northeast China, with the lowest yield per mu, only 50-70 catties.However, according to the taste arrangement of the three hazelnut varieties, flat hazelnut was the best, followed by hybrid hazelnut, and European hazelnut was the worst.

The wild hazelnuts in Guanjiang Village are flat hazelnuts, but because of the nourishment of the Juling Array, the hazelnuts are very large and tend to catch up with the big hazelnuts, but the taste has not deteriorated at all.As for the yield per mu, Zhou Man estimated that it was about 200 catties, and the entire Guanjiang Village was about 500 mu, with 10 catties of hazelnuts.

Once the output and quality have been clarified, the next step is the issue of collection and preservation.

"We can still pick up tea seeds." Ying Feichi made a suggestion, "Let everyone sweep it up and carry it to the oil workshop, change the spell in the windmill, and then we can filter it. Then make a tin box and put a drying box in it." Fu, just tell everyone that it is a dryer. Hazelnuts are similar to tea seeds, right? Can hazelnuts be stored for a long time after drying?”

"Well, very good!" Zhou Man rubbed the little Taoist's hair and praised, "It's good to have you here!"

Ying Feichi's face instantly turned red, and the Tongming Jian in his hand instantly burst out a string of characters [If you love me, hug me ~ if you love me, kiss me ~ if you love me, then xxoo me~]

"No..." Ying Feichi hurriedly hid the Tongming Mirror behind his back, and explained with a flushed face, but his eyes were shining brightly, and he almost couldn't read the words on the mirror.

Zhou Man looked away in distress.

Don't be like this, he also endured very hard, if it wasn't for the moral constraints, he would have rushed forward, okay?

"Zhou Man?" The voice of rescuing the crisis suddenly came to mind, it was the first time that Zhou Man thought Luo Rui's voice was so nice!It's a pity that Luo Rui's next words will not be very good.

"Zhou Man, there are no hazelnuts for sale in City L, and most citizens don't know what hazelnuts are. The most popular nuts on the market are chestnuts and walnuts. Both chestnuts and walnuts cost 1.5 yuan a catty."

Zhou Man was silent after hearing this. 1.5 yuan per catty. When purchasing, the price must be kept at around 7 cents to make a profit. However, according to the labor force in the village, one person can pick up 200 catties of hazelnuts a day, and earn 140 yuan a day, which is fine.About 2000 catties are harvested a day, and the hazelnuts of the whole village have to be harvested for another month.It is now the end of October in the lunar calendar, and it will be the end of November when the hazelnuts are harvested, just in time for the Chinese New Year.

It is no problem to be able to supply it, but how to make the citizens accept the nuts like hazelnuts?
