    Next, everyone sat in a circle and listened to Tie Heng explain the difficult points to them.  Before I knew it, the sun had already risen high in the sky.  Most of the people's physical strength recovered, but Tie Heng did not let them practice any more.  The so-called poor civilized and rich military, they only have two meals a day, morning and evening, and now they are already hungry.  Therefore, Chen Shuifa suggested that everyone divide their teams into finding some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and then dig wild vegetables and collect mountain mushrooms to supplement their own food.

    With a roar, everyone dispersed into the surrounding mountains and woods.  These children from poor families often do this kind of thing for the adults at home. They have long been familiar with which wild vegetables and fruits are edible and which mushrooms and mushrooms are poisonous.  There were also a few Orion children who made some traps using local materials to catch small animals.  And more boys are keen on climbing trees to dig out bird's nests. Bird eggs are an easy-to-get delicacy for them. They don't need to be cooked. They can just crack them open and eat them raw, which still makes them all smile.

    After working for more than an hour, everyone reunited on the grassland, and they also gathered their harvests together.  Chen Shuifa looked at the large piles of various wild vegetables and berries in front of him and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.  In early summer, these things were all over the mountains and fields, and they couldn't collect them all. In just half an afternoon, they collected enough to feed them for several days.

    "It's a pity that there is no salt. If the broadheaded vegetables were pickled, they would taste very good." Li Dongzi picked out a few wild vegetables and sighed while puckering his lips.  "Please Aunt Zhang cook these together with rice porridge, it will be even more delicious."

    "Thisthis is too much. Taking it all back to the camp will cause trouble for Aunt Zhang." Xiaodouzi whispered beside her.

    "Well, that's what I'm worried about!" Chen Shuifa frowned. He was as worried as Xiaodouzi. He took some wild vegetables, mushrooms and the like and asked Aunt Zhang to help secretly add them to the rice porridge. It wasn't a big problem.  But if we take all this stuff back, it will inevitably attract dissatisfaction and covetousness from other victims, which will also be very detrimental to Aunt Zhang.

    "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's extremely humid. If we leave the rest here, it will definitely rot the next day That would be a pity." Chen Shuifa couldn't make up his mind for a while.

    ¡°Then take them all back.¡± Tie Heng said suddenly.

    "Hey!?" Chen Shuifa and Xiaodouzi didn't react and looked at him blankly.

    "These wild fruits are divided among everyone and are eaten as daily snacks. All these wild vegetables are sent to the porridge shed and the porridge masters are asked to add them to the rice porridge." Tie Heng said with a smile.

    "This is notthis is not the cheap ones" Li Dongzi and several other boys obviously couldn't understand.

    ¡°Yes, they are those people in the cheap camp.¡± Tie Heng¡¯s smile remained unchanged.  "Rather than leave it here to rot, it's better to share it with everyone. The people in the camp have benefited from us, and if we ask Aunt Zhang to take care of us, they will have nothing to say. This is called being short-tongued.  "

    "Take advantage of others!" Chen Shuifa said next.  He and Tie Heng glanced at each other, and both could see what was in each other's minds.  Because the people in their shack are taking care of them, their food has improved and they no longer need to trouble Aunt Zhang.  But other children are not so lucky and they still don¡¯t have enough to eat.  So Tie Heng's proposal was to help them, blatantly getting more food from Aunt Zhang and even some other porridge cooks.

    "Hmm! Shuifa, please pick some good fruits and divide them into two portions. One portion will be given to the guards, the other will be given to the people in the porridge shed, and Aunt Zhang will give some more. Do you understand?  "Tie Heng said, staring into his eyes.

    Chen Shuifa's eyes lit up, he slapped his forehead vigorously, then raised his thumb and said one word: "High!"

    His expression and posture made Xiaodouzi burst into laughter.  His mind was not slow, and he understood Tie Heng's intention in doing this after a moment's thought. It was mainly to express their attitude to the guard squad leader.

    But just because he understands it doesn¡¯t mean that others understand it too.  Li Dongzi and the others still looked confused. If Tie Heng's prestige was not high enough, they would have spoken out against it.

    "Why should we send the fruits we picked to those police officers who eat people without spitting out their bones!" This is what they are thinking at this moment.

    Of course Tie Heng understood, so he added.  "Don't feel pity, there will be rewards, just wait!"

    After saying that, he ignored these boys and squatted down, picking out a lot of wild mushrooms from the large pile of wild vegetables. He held them in his hands, looked at them carefully for a moment, and smelled them one by one.  Smell it.

    "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Chen Shuifa saw that it was getting late and came over to remind him, but found that Tie Heng seemed to be deep in thought.

    ¡°I was thinking, ?These mushrooms are growing well and look good. Smell the fragrance, it¡¯s very tempting!  It¡¯s a pity to eat it like this¡­¡±

    "If you don't eat mushrooms, how can they be used as flowers?" a boy answered.  "These mushrooms are so plump and tender, they taste so delicious just by roasting them over the fire" He couldn't help but wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth as he spoke.

    "Go, let's go, there's no need for you to interrupt. Of course Brother Heng doesn't want to see them as flowers. I think you want to use them to sell them for money?" Chen Shuifa is indeed the smartest among these children.  As soon as he turned his head, he guessed what Tie Heng was thinking.

    "That's right, these mushrooms should be sold at a good price. And it's much more convenient to buy what we need with the money." Tie Heng nodded.

    "This is feasible. But Brother Heng, there are many locals selling these wild mushrooms in the market in the city. How about we find a restaurant and sell these to them?" Chen Shuifa thought about it and suggested.

    "No, the things delivered to the door will not be valued. What's more, if we are dressed like this, we will be regarded as beggars and chased away before we get close to those restaurants, let alone sell them at a good price."  Heng shook his head slightly.

    "Haha" The children around him all laughed. Chen Shuifa looked at Tie Heng, who was the most handsome among them all, and then looked at his naked feet and tattered clothes. He was indeed quite down and out.  He scratched the top of his head and smiled too.  "You only rely on your clothes!"

    "Then let's set up a stall too?" Xiaodouzi was quite interested in this.

    "Can it be sold?" Chen Shuifa didn't have much confidence.

    "Of course you can, but you need to package them before that."

    "Packaging?" Chen Shuifa and the others had obviously never heard of this term.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the packaging.¡± Tie Heng turned to a boy in the crowd.  "I remember you said that your father is a bamboo craftsman, so can you make small bamboo baskets? Used to pack these mushrooms."

    "Yes, I can. I have been doing this craft with my father since I was a child, and my father even praised me!" The boy nodded hurriedly.

    "Brother Tieheng, there is no bamboo here." Xiaodouzi thought of an important question.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have any tools for cutting bamboo,¡± the boy added.

    "It doesn't matter if we don't have bamboo. What do you think about using these thin canes instead?" Tie Heng took a thin cane used to tie wild vegetables and pointed at it and asked the boy.

    "Let me take a look." He took the thin rattan stick from Tie Heng, looked at it carefully in his hand, tugged hard, and finally twisted it into a pattern between his fingers.  "I think it is different from bamboo strips, but I guarantee that I can weave a nice little rattan basket."

    "How long does it take to knit one the size of a human head?" Tie Heng asked again.

    "Let me think about itthe materials must be processed. For example, the leaves on the vine need to be scraped off"

    "No, no need to scrape, keep the leaves, and don't need to be too fine, just the original flavor." Tie Heng interrupted him.

    "Uhin that case, I can probably compile one in half an hour."

    "Okay, that's it. I will arrange for a few people to collect vines with you later. You can see which thickness is suitable. When you get back, you can make one for me to see. If everything goes well, starting from tomorrow, you can practice in the morning.  After finishing the boxing, there is no need to pick wild vegetables and you can concentrate on weaving rattan baskets." Tie Heng asked the other children after finishing speaking.  "Who among you knows this skill?"

    "I can try. I often help my father and brothers repair bamboo baskets, bamboo mats and bamboo fences at home." A boy raised his hand and shouted.

    "I can do it too. My family is a fisherman by the Feng River. I was the one who repaired the broken bamboo basket." Another boy with dark skin also raised his hand.

    Just like that, several more children joined in. Tie Heng assigned them all to the boy before and asked them to help make small rattan baskets.  Looking at these young faces, Tie Heng had to sigh that children from poor families had already become masters, and their hands-on ability was much better than that of his peers in his previous life.

    Afterwards, Tie Heng and Chen Shuifa assigned their personnel to act separately.  Some went to collect vines, some picked mushrooms, and others carried wild vegetables and fruits back to the camp.  Soon, the only sounds left in the woods were the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects
