Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 196 196. Seniority

   "Brother..." Chu Qingzhi called Chu Xuhua over, "Brother, I will arrange an assistant for you, do you want it?"

  Chu Xuhua just came back from talking about business outside, walked into the main room, looked at the people in the room, and finally his eyes stayed on Li Zhangjie, "Fifth sister, are you talking about him?"

  Li Zhangjie was very discerning, and quickly expressed his determination, "Brother, I can do anything, and I can help you together. You take me with you, and I will not let you down."

  Sister Qingzhi assigned him to her elder brother, she must be planning to reuse him, he must seize the opportunity, only if he is useful, and only when he is helpful can he be considered a real repayment.

   Before Chu Xuhua went out to discuss business, it was Chu Xujin who followed him. Now Chu Xujin has gone to the Yamen to work as an errand. He is the only one, and it is good to have a helper, "Fifth sister, thank you."

  Chu Qingzhi said with a smile, "Brother, why are you being polite to me, you are welcome." Only when you are strong and capable, can she be lazy!

   Then Chu Qingzhi introduced the two of them to each other.

  Chu Xuhua waved to Li Zhangjie, "Zhang Jie, come with me."

   "Yes, brother." Li Zhangjie happily walked towards Chu Xuhua, "Brother, are you going to work soon?"

  Chu Xuhua liked Li Zhangjie's cheerful temperament, "I'll take you to see our family's business first, and then slowly talk about the work."

  Li Zhangjie said happily, "Yeah, I will definitely work hard."

  …

  Chu Qingzhi collected the malt grown in the warehouse into several large baskets, and then walked out with it.

  Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang, two each, followed behind her step by step.

  Zhan Hongjun asked curiously, "Master, where do you take the malt?"

  Chu Qingzhi said as she walked, "Take it and crush it."

  Zhan Hongjun caught up with Chu Qingzhi and asked, "Use a roller to grind it?"

"Um."

  The roller is in the corner of the yard at home, and it will arrive soon.

  Zhan Hongjun put down the basket and took the initiative to push the roller, "Master, you put the malt on it, and I will push it."

  Pauling Jiang said, "Master, then I will continue to carry the basket."

   "Okay." Chu Qingzhi put the malt on the mill, "Hongjun, just grind it three times, it doesn't need to be so crushed."

   "Okay." Zhan Hongjun pushed the roller and turned it slowly.

  Some children from the village ran over to watch the excitement.

   "Sister Qingzhi, what are you doing?"

   "Rolled malt."

   "Why do you grind the malt?"

  Chu Qingyan interrupted her little friend, "Why do you have so many questions?"

  The little friend looked at Chu Qingyan, this guy has never been famous, and he looks like a big **** all day long, "Can't you just ask?"

  Chu Qingyan said domineeringly, "No, don't you see that my Fifth Sister is busy?"

  The little friend didn’t argue any more, but compromised, “Okay, I won’t talk anymore, I can’t talk to you.”

  Miss Chu Qingyan seems to be taking the position of the village tyrant.

  As Chu Qingzhi expected, after grinding three times, the degree of fineness of the malt is just right.

  Bao Linjiang took out all the malt, then stood aside, and started the daily exchange, "Hongjun, if you can't do it, you can replace me."

  Zhan Hongjun glared at Bao Linjiang. The young man's expression looked very vivid, and he retorted, "Men can't say no, little abalone, talk to me well."

   "A man?" Bao Linjiang laughed, "Is that true?"

  Zhan Hongjun pushed the roller and walked forward step by step. His steps were steady, and he looked solid. "At my age, I can marry a wife and have children. How can I not be considered a man?"

  Bao Linjiang hugged his arms, showing a proud face, and snorted, "You are wet!"

  Zhan Hongjun frowned, "Little Abalone, are your skin itchy? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up later?"

   Bao Linjiang provocatively said, "Come on, it just so happens that we haven't competed yet."

  Zhan Hongjun suddenly looked at Bao Linjiang suspiciously, "Seriously, I don't believe you at all when you say you know martial arts. Did you lie to your uncle just to come out?"

   Bao Linjiang felt depressed for a while, "You don't have to believe in my martial arts, but you can't doubt my character."

  Zhan Hongjun didn't take it seriously, "Cut..."

   It took an hour to grind the malt, Zhan Hongjun insisted on grinding it for an hour, Chu Qingzhi asked him to rest, and then just leave it to her and Lin Jiang.

   As for the young master in the capital city, he had never done such rough work before, and he was sweating all over, but Zhan Hongjun was not pretentious, and still helped with the next work.

  The next step is to add hot water to the broken malt and mash for half an hour.

  Chu Qingzhi prepared four large vats, which have been washed and drained, and are now used directly.

  The large vat is placed in a special room. There is a fire under this room, like a kang, which can maintain a temperature of more than 60 degrees. It was specially developed by Chu Qingzhi to saccharify malt.

   Now the four-port tank has been placed in this room.

  Chu Qingzhi evenly divides the crushed malt into four parts, puts them into large vats, adds hot water, soaks the crushed malt, and then stirs evenly to fully saccharify the malt.

   After finishing these, Chu Qingzhi walked out of the room and put an hourglass at the door.

   This hourglass measures exactly half an hour, and she bought it specially.

  There was a trace of excitement in Bao Linjiang's eyes, "Master, are you going to wait like this?"

  Chu Qingzhi nodded, "I'll deal with it after an hour, by the way, is there anything you don't understand about this step?"

  The two said at the same time, "No, I understand."

   If she understands everything, she doesn't need to explain it again. Chu Qingzhi glanced at the two little apprentices appreciatively. She has good comprehension skills.

  Chu Qingyue walked over excitedly, "Fifth Sister, Fifth Sister, I have good news for you."

  Chu Qingzhi turned around, "Second Sister, you are in such a good mood, did you succeed in apprenticeship?"

   "Not only did I succeed in apprenticeship, I also worshiped Luo Yinhuan's master as a teacher." Chu Qingyue took out the purple jade pendant, "This is what the master gave me, Fifth Sister, I never thought I would be so lucky."

  Chu Qingzhi looked at the jade pendant, the purple jade, you can tell it's a good thing just by the color, "Second sister, congratulations."

  Chu Qingyue hugged Chu Qingzhi excitedly, "Fifth Sister, I'm so happy, so happy."

  Chu Qingzhi patted Chu Qingyue on the back, "You have worshiped Luo Yinhuan's master as your teacher, so you have become Luo Yinhuan's junior sister?"

  Chu Qingyue blushed with excitement, "Yes, Master has a total of six apprentices, and now they are all famous. I am her seventh apprentice. Master said that she will not accept any more apprentices in the future."

  Zhan Hongjun asked puzzledly, "Second Sister, didn't you intend to worship Luo Yinhuan as your teacher? Why did you worship her as your master?"

   Mentioning this, Chu Qingzhi's mood suddenly dropped from summer to winter, "It's a long story..."

  She recounted what happened in Yunxiufang today.
