The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 43 43 Rapeseed

Zhou Jia saw Li Yu running away to pick the tea fruit, and slowly moved to Li Yu's side and smiled at Li Yu, "Miss Li, how did you think of picking the camellia fruit and extracting oil? This thing is in Qingshan. Nobody should know about this place."

  Li Yu smiled lightly, "My mother told me."

Zhou Jia put the fruit into the back basket, "Oh! I asked, if you want to squeeze oil, you can only squeeze oil at the oil mill outside Qingshan City. I have mule carts and oil drums that can be delivered to you. ."

  Li Yu shook his head, "Mr. Zhou, thank you for your kindness, I have asked someone to help make a simple oil extraction tool, and I will talk about it when I try it."

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with a smile on his face, "Can I visit your house when Miss Li is pressing oil?"

  Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia's smiling face and couldn't say anything if he refused, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

   Jixiang felt depressed when he saw how the young master was ingratiating himself to Miss Li, and felt that he had never seen him for a long time. It was always those eldest young ladies who revolved around the young master, and the young master was too lazy to take care of others.

   Jixiang felt that he didn't even look at it and walked to Zhou Jia's side, "Master, it's almost noon, I went hunting two pheasants and came back to roast and eat."

   Zhou Jia nodded and watched Jixiang walk into the woods, and continued to talk to Li Yu. The two chatted without a word.

   After more than half an hour, Jixiang carried two pheasants to the stream to clean them up, took off the chicken skin and put it on a wooden stick, Li Yu took out the seasoning and smeared it on it, Jixiang lit the fire and the two roasted the pheasants.

   Jixiang glanced at Li Yu, "Miss Li, are you going to pick all these camellia fruits home?"

  Li Yu flipped the pheasant in his hands, "Yeah! Pick everything you can."

   Jixiang looked at Zhou Jia who was picking the tea fruit and then looked at the tea trees, frowning, "It will take at least three or four days to finish picking."

   "It should be about the same!" Li Yu smelled the fragrance of the pheasant and tore off a piece and took a sip, "Yeah! It tastes pretty good, let your young master come and eat it!"

   Jixiang nodded and handed the pheasant to Li Yu, and told Zhou Jia to go.

  Li Yu took the opportunity to take out the bamboo tube and egg cake from the space, and waited for Jixiang and Zhou Jia to come over and handed the pheasant to the two. The cake was baked on the fire and handed to the two, "Eat it! I brought it out in the morning."

   Zhou Jia took the cake and distributed one to Jixiang, and the three ate around the fire.

   After eating, Li Yu put out the fire and said to Zhou Jia and Jixiang: "Thank you for your help today, I have to pick two hours before leaving, so you should go back first!"

   "Help people to the end, there is no reason to give up halfway." Zhou Jia walked towards the tea forest with a smile.

  Li Yu looked at Jixiang with a sad face, shrugged his shoulders, turned around and went to pick the tea fruit.

   Several people picked for another hour before they filled three sacks with one sack, Jixiang carried two sacks of tea and fruit, and Li Yu carried a sack on his back, the three of them walked back.

   Zhou Jia thought as he walked, he clearly saw that Li Yu had picked several sacks, how come there are only three sacks now! Did you see it wrong.

Li Yu carried the tea fruit on his back with resentment and walked forward. If you two don't come, I will shake my hands and walk away. When I get home, I will take the sack and sack out of the space and carry it back home easily. Now it hurts me. Carrying these tea fruits so far.

   Several people arrived at Li Yu's house at the end of Shen Shimo. Jixiang put the sack at the door, and Li Yu politely said, "Mr. Zhou, Jixiang, thank you, I will squeeze out the tea oil and give it to you to taste."

   Zhou Jia nodded and smiled: "Okay, then we'll wait for Miss Li to deliver the tea oil."

   Li Yu sent Zhou Jia and Jixiang away, and Qian looked at Li Yu with a smile, "Xiaoyu, why did Mr. Zhou come back with you?"

   Li Yu casually said nonsense, "Oh! They went up the mountain to play and just happened to meet."

  Li Yu moved the tea oil fruit into the wing room, put it in the space, and locked the door. Seeing Li Qing coming back with a book basket, "Aqing, didn't my sister make a schoolbag for you? Why don't you use it?"

  Li Qing smiled embarrassedly, "Sister, I want to save it for later use."

  Li Yu guessed that Li Qing was reluctant to be afraid of a broken back, and patted him with a smile, "Idiot, it's not a pity when the schoolbag is ready! I'll make it for you if it's worn out!"

  Li Qing smiled happily, "Yeah! I'm going to school tomorrow with my schoolbag."

   The next morning, when Li Yu just went out with a backpack on his back, he saw Jixiang and Ruyi waiting at the door. Jixiang looked at Li Yu and smiled, "Miss Li, Young Master asked Ruyi and me to help you go up the mountain to pick tea and fruits."

  Li Yu looked at the two of them in surprise, "How embarrassing this is, I can do it alone, you can go back!"

   Jixiang and Ruyi shook their heads, "That won't work, the young master will blame us when we go back."

  Li Yu had to walk up the mountain with the two of them. With the help of Jixiang and Ruyi, the remaining tea fruits were all picked home in two days.

  Li Yu stored the tea and fruit in the space and began to transplant rapeseed. Seeing that Li Yu's family started to plant rapeseed, Chen Yaohui and his wife and Li Mei's family came to help Li Yu plant the rapeseed.

Chen Yaohui and Liu Changmin dug the nest, Laidi and Qian's family pulled the seedlings, Xiaoan put the seedlings, Li Yu brought the fertile soil into the nest, Li Mei and Zhaodi erected the rapeseed seedlings in the nest, and pressed the rapeseed with soil The roots of the seedlings are then covered with soil.

In the evening, Mason Chen sent the prepared oil-pressing mortar to Li Yu's house. Li Yu asked him to place the mortar against the wall of the firewood room. Mason Chen put the mortar on three stone pillars and fixed it with isinglass. Later, a stone slab was laid beside it.

Mason Chen pointed to the bamboo pipe at the bottom, "Xiaoyu, the golden bamboo that my uncle found is cut through and then baked and stuck inside, so that it won't fall off. Also, when you squeeze the oil, step on this wooden board, just like pounding rice. When the plug is knocked into the socket, the plug squeezes the oil cake and the oil flows out from the bottom."

"Okay, Uncle Chen, I'm sorry to bother you." After Li Yu sent Mason Chen away, he went back to the yard and tried it out. He felt that it was the same as stepping on the vertebra. The oil cake squeezes out the oil, but whether it works or not can only be known after trying it.

  Everyone came back after work and saw the oil-pressing mortar sent by Chen Mason. After watching for a while, Chen Yaohui and Liu Changmin both felt that they had no idea, "Little fish, you can't squeeze oil and pound rice."

  Li Mei brought the dining table to the yard and shouted with a smile, "It's dinner, aren't you hungry?"

For dinner, pork ribs stewed with radishes, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, fried rapeseed, and watercress fish. "This fish and twice-cooked meat are really fragrant." Chen Yaohui, who had eaten watercress fish and twice-cooked pork, pointed to the sauce tank in Li Yuyuan, "Is the little fish fried with that watercress sauce? ?"

  Li Yu nodded, "Yes, Uncle Chen, I'll scoop up a jar for you and bring it back to the village chief to have a taste."

  Chen Yaohui took a sip of his wine and smiled heartily, "Okay, I'm welcome."

   After eating, Li Yu took a jar and scooped a jar of doubanjiang for Chen Yaohui, and the couple happily hugged them home.

   Li Mei looked at Li Yu and asked, "Yu'er, what do you think is good for my family's wasteland?"

  Li Yu thought for a while, "Aunt, why don't you grow radishes and green vegetables! When you grow up, make pickles and sell them."

   Li Mei nodded, "Alright, we'll go back first, and come back early tomorrow morning."

   Li Yu sent Li Mei's family and Qian's family back to the house, and found that Li Qing had fed the pigs, and the sister and brother took a break after washing up.
