Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 72 072. Make it clear

  Back home, Chu Qingzhi asked Chu Qingshuang to wash the zong 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.

  Bringing 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 it was easy to remove the nucleus, "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 to remove the date stones.

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

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

"I'll try."

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

  The villagers left again when they saw that they had nothing to do.

  Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. The villagers are too hardworking.

  At this time, Li Qingyu's voice came, "Everyone stop busy, come here 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 entire 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.

  Several small bowls of rice were served to the elders and brothers and sisters. They were sensible and well-behaved. This 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 zongzi. 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 is a clothes maker, and she has no shortage of cotton thread, and she has a lot of spares at home.

  Chu Qingyue immediately agreed, "Yes, but how much?"

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

  Chu Qingyue nodded, "OK."

  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 rice 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. Qingzhi will take a look at the details later. 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 sticks at home. Now the family has a total of 450 taels of silver." The villagers sent wooden sticks, and the silver was paid in cash.

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

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

  If it weren't for Shen Ruyue, 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 will be a family, and there is 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 Xuhua.

  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, "Qing Zhi, don't talk nonsense."

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

   That's all, she'd better explain it clearly.

   After finishing the business, everyone dispersed, took a break, and the little ones at home prepared to learn to read in class.

  Chu Xuhua came to the stable to feed the horse soybeans. The horse was very strong, and he was not tired after a day of work with him. He liked the horse very much.

   After a while, Chu Qingzhi walked over.

   When Ma'er saw her, his eyes widened immediately, and his long horse face stretched out to rub against Qingzhi, like a spoiled child.

  Chu Xuhua tilted 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 building a house. The previous divorce dealt a big blow to him, "Fifth Sister, I don't understand what you mean."

  What a wooden person Chu Qingzhi lowered her voice, "Brother, what do you think of Kisaragi?"

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

  The highly rated Chu Qingzhi 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 reputation of the girl."

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

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

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

  Chu Xuhua felt a little inferior, "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 together.

   "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, "You are still simple and happy, but if you have a suitable companion, you must bring it back for me to see. If it is suitable, I will allow it."

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