Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Back home, Chu Qingzhi asked Chu Qingshuang to wash the zongzi leaves, and she took Chu Qingning to deal with the mung beans and red dates that made the zongzi with her.

Mung beans are soaked in water, and red dates are pitted.

Chu Qingzhi poured all the red dates into the sieve and put them on the table, "Qing Ning, go and get some chopsticks."

Chu Qingning nodded and left in confusion.

After taking the chopsticks back, Chu Qingning handed them to Chu Qingzhi, "Fifth Sister, what are you doing with the chopsticks?"

"You'll know right away." Chu Qingzhi took a chopstick, pointed at one end of the red date and pierced it through the middle, and the date pit fell out easily.

Chu Qingning looked surprised, "Fifth sister, you are so smart."

This is just a small life skill. Chu Qingzhi gave Chu Qingning a chopstick, "Fourth Sister, try it."

Chu Qingning gladly tried it, and then easily removed the core, "Fifth sister, your method is very good."

A villager who was off work came to the main room and saw the two sisters standing at the table removing the date stones in a novel way, so they couldn't help but stop and watch.

"We always use scissors to cut the jujube pits. I didn't expect there to be such an easy way."

"Yeah, this method is good, I learned it."

"I'll try."

As he talked, he picked up the extra chopsticks beside him and tried it, and more and more villagers tried it. Twenty catties of red dates were all pitted in this way.

Seeing that they had nothing to do, the villagers left again.

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning looked at each other and couldn't help smiling, the villagers were too hardworking.

At this time, Li Qingyu's voice came, "Everyone stop busy, come over and help serve the dishes, ready to eat."

Both Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​came home from school, and they were doing their homework in their room. Today's homework was to copy the "Three Character Classic" twice. When they heard the sound, they all ran to the kitchen.

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning also quickly cleared the table and set out the dishes for dinner.

Today's dishes include stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised pork ribs, twice-cooked pork, and cabbage soup. The aroma of the food soon permeated the whole hall.

Both Li Qingyu and Grandma Chu love their family members. Considering the tiredness of work and the hard work of the children, they don't feel sorry for them. The food is very good. In the past, the current food is like a dream Same, eat better than Chinese New Year.

A few small bowls of rice were served to the elders and brothers and sisters, and they were sensible and well-behaved, which was Chu Qingzhi's favorite point.

If the family is full of brats, she will definitely be irritable and even beat the children.

Everyone sat down and ate deliciously.

In ancient times, food without words was used very well, even for ordinary farmers, unless it was very necessary, they would not talk about it at the dinner table.

...

After eating, Chu Qingzhi started talking about business.

"Mom, we need to make zongzi tomorrow morning, but we don't have enough manpower, why don't you find ten aunts to help?"

Li Qingyu readily agreed, "Okay, this matter is on your mother's shoulders."

Chu Qingzhi turned her gaze to Chu Qingyue, "Second Sister, I need some cotton thread to make rice dumplings. After a while, you, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister can cut the cotton thread into three feet long, and then wash it, is that okay?"

Chu Qingyue does not lack cotton thread as a clothes maker, and has a lot of spares at home.

Chu Qingyue agreed immediately, "Yes, but how much should I cut?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "Cut five hundred, let's talk about it if it's not enough."

Chu Qingyue nodded, "Okay."

Chu Qingzhi said to Chu Rong and Grandpa Chu again, "Father, Grandpa, go to the corner of the yard and build two stoves, and then buy two pots to cook rice dumplings tomorrow."

One hundred catties of glutinous rice can make five hundred dumplings, and three pots can almost cook them.

Chu Rong responded, "Okay, I'll do it tomorrow morning."

After Chu Qingzhi finished talking, Shen Ruyue began to talk, "Let me tell you about the money I earned today. After a while, Qingzhi will take a look at the details. Our family earned a total of one hundred and thirty-seven taels today. Many people in the village have become smarter." If two or three people combine to get the goods, the unit price will be lower, so the total income will be lower.”

"In addition, I spent 30 taels of silver today, including the money for shopping and wooden sticks at home. Now the family has a total of 450 taels of silver." The villagers sent wooden sticks, and the silver taels were all cash.

Li Qingyu nodded affirmatively, "There are indeed so many."

Chu Qingzhi patted the back of Shen Ruyue's hand, and thanked him sincerely, "Ruyue, thank you for your hard work."

If Shen Ruyue didn't exist, she would have to do all the things like arranging everyone's work and keeping accounts, and she would be too busy.

Shen Ruyue smiled and shook her head, "Qing Zhi, don't thank me in the future, I like doing these things, and it's what I should do."

Chu Qingzhi smiled, and suddenly said suggestively, "Sooner or later, we're all one family, so there's really no need to see outsiders."

These words brightened the eyes of the elders of the Chu family. It would be great if Shen Ruyue married Xu Hua.

With this thought in mind, Li Qingyu cared more and more for Shen Ruyue in the following days, and treated her as a prospective daughter-in-law. The other elders were not bad, and treated her very well.

Shen Ruyue is a smart girl, she was also shown by Chu Qing Zhiming, her face blushed, and she said coquettishly, "Qing Zhi, don't talk nonsense."

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Chu Xuhua, there was no strange expression on Jun's face, is this a wooden man? She said it was so clear and understood, still don't understand?

Forget it, she'd better make it clear.

After the business is finished, everyone disperses, rests for a while, and the little ones at home prepare to learn to read in class.

Chu Xuhua came to the stable to feed the horse soybeans. The horse was strong enough to work with him all day without being tired. He liked the horse very much.

After a while, Chu Qingzhi walked over.

Seeing her, the horse's eyes widened immediately, and the long horse's face stretched out to rub against Chu Qingzhi, like a spoiled child.

Chu Xuhua turned his head over, his eyes soft, "Fifth Sister."

Chu Qingzhi touched the horse that kept rubbing against her, and pointed out, "Brother, don't you have any special thoughts about what I just said?"

Chu Xuhua really didn't think much about it. He is now focused on working to make money and build a house. The previous divorce dealt a big blow to him. "Fifth sister, I don't understand what you mean."

Chu Qingzhi lowered her voice, "Brother, what do you think of Kisaragi?"

Chu Xuhua thought about it seriously, "She is a very good girl, well-educated, gentle and gentle, and also good at business management, even I am not so good."

Chu Qingzhi, who had a high evaluation, asked in a low voice, "Then do you like her?"

Chu Xuhua was taken aback, and quickly said, "Fifth sister, you didn't talk nonsense, it will affect the girl's reputation."

Chu Qingzhi was puzzled, "Brother said Kisaragi was good, why didn't you chase after her?"

Chu Xuhua shook his head, "Brother, how do you pursue this condition?"

Chu Qingzhi understood that Chu Xuhua must have been hit by his ex-girlfriend, and had seriously lost confidence, "Is our family's conditions still poor?"

Chu Xuhua felt a little inferior and said, "It's because the elder brother's conditions are not good."

Chu Qingzhi said with a sense of crisis, "Brother, if you don't chase after Ruyue, what will happen if Ruyue marries someone else?"

Chu Xuhua looked calm, "Big brother bless her."

Chu Qingzhi, "..."

This matter needs time and experience. It must be that the two of them have not experienced enough. In the future, we will create more time for the two of them to spend alone.

"Brother, it's time to go to class."

"Well, I'll feed you the horse." Chu Xuhua gave the basin to Chu Qingzhi and went to the main room.

Chu Qingzhi grabbed a handful of beans and fed them to the horse, "It's better for you to be simple and happy, but if you have a suitable companion, you must bring it back and show it to me. If it is suitable, I will allow it."

The horse snorted, as if responding to Chu Qingzhi, it knew.
