The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Seven or eight people worked for four or five days to plant nearly 20 acres of rapeseed and fertilize it. Everyone also helped fertilize the winter wheat before they went home.

After everyone had left, Li Yu took the camellia berries out of the space, mixed them with a small amount of lime, and piled them under the eaves for three or four days, then dried them in the yard while the sun was shining, and dried them for three or four days in a row. After waiting for most of the tea fruits to naturally crack, Li Yu took Qian's mother and son to peel the unsplit tea fruits and put them on the drying mat.

Qian looked at the tea seeds and asked Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, if you clean all these tea seeds, it will probably cost you twenty or thirty kilograms, right?"

"Probably!" Li Yu used a sieve to sift the tea seeds clean, spread them out on a drying mat and dried them for another two days before putting them in a basket, planning to start pressing oil the next day.

Somehow he remembered that Zhou Jia had said that he would come to see him squeeze tea oil. Li Yu got up early in the morning and said to Li Qing: "Ah Qing, sister will start to squeeze tea oil today. Please tell Mr. Zhou."

Li Qing looked at Li Yu and said, "Sister, does Mr. Zhou want to come see you squeeze tea oil?"

"Yeah! He said that last time, and I also agreed to invite him to come and see it. You can just say it casually."

Li Qing nodded, touched his schoolbag and smiled at Li Yu, "Sister, the young master of the Xu family wants to ask you to buy a bag like mine. He said he would give you five hundred coins, will you do it?"

"Okay! You ask him to bring the money, and I will do it for him."

"Then I'll go to the school and tell him." Li Qing carried his schoolbag and went out.

Li Yu thought about Li Qing's words and thought: We can ask Li Mei and Qian to make some schoolbags and take them to Qingshan City Academy for takeout! After Li Yu thought about it, he happily picked the tea seeds in the basket to the edge of the stone mill and began to grind the tea seed powder.

After Qian and Xiao An arrived, Li Yu pushed Qian to help add tea seeds. The two of them ground a basket of tea seed powder and came out. Li Yu said to Qian, "Aunt Qian, you continue to push me to make some tea seeds." A straw basket."

"Okay, go ahead! Leave this to me." Qian took the grinding handle and continued grinding the tea seeds.

Li Yu went to the woodshed and picked up a bundle of clean straw to weave a dozen straw baskets. He carried it out of the woodshed and returned to the courtyard. He saw Zhou Jia standing at the door with Jixiang and knocking on the door. Li Yu smiled and said: "Door It doesn’t matter, you just come in, people in the countryside don’t pay that much attention.”

Mr. Qian was happy after hearing this, "Mr. Zhou is a scholar and very polite. How can he be like us!"

Zhou Jiahe Jixiang smiled and entered the yard, and saw Li Yu carrying tea seed powder to the kitchen.

Jixiang pointed to the big stone mortar and treadmill in the yard and said to Zhou Jia: "Master, you see Miss Li plans to use this thing to squeeze oil! Do you think it can be done?"

Zhou Jia walked closer and looked at it for a while, then nodded, "It should be possible to squeeze it out."

After Li Yu steamed the tea seed powder, he poured the tea seed powder on the stone slab, put it into a straw basket, pressed it and wrapped it tightly.

Zhou Jia was also clumsy there, helping Li Yu put the grass basket containing tea seed powder into the stone mortar, and put seven bags of tea cakes in the stone mortar one after another, and the stone mortar was full.

Li Yu pressed the cork on top of the tea oil cake and prepared to step on the trampoline. Jixiang ran over and stepped on the trampoline. He smiled at Li Yu and said, "Miss Li, hold on to the cork and I will help you step on the vertebrae."

"Okay!" Li Yu held the wooden stopper, stepped on the treadle, and hit the wooden stopper. He banged the wooden stopper into the stone mortar, and the wooden stopper squeezed the oil cake downwards. After a while, Tea oil flowed into the basin from the pipe.

Zhou Jia watched the tea oil flow from the bamboo tube into the wooden basin, and pointed at the tea oil in the wooden basin, "Miss Li, look, the tea oil has flowed into the wooden basin."

Li Yu lowered his head and looked at the golden yellow tea seed oil flowing down the bamboo tube, and thought, the color of tea seed oil is still beautiful.

When Aunt Qian heard that oil was coming out, she happily put down the grinding handle and ran over. She looked at the tea oil in the basin and said, "Xiaoyu, now you can rest assured that the work was not in vain."

"Yes! Don't worry!" Li Yu scooped it up with a spoon and poured it back into the basin. He said with a smile, "The tea oil tastes much better than rapeseed oil."

After hearing this, Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and thought: Judging from Miss Li's tone, this must not be the first time she has taken tea oil.

Ji Xiang also put down his treadmill and ran over to look at the golden and transparent tea seed oil in the wooden basin. "Master, you can see that the oil is really squeezed out."

Zhou Jia put aside his thoughts and looked at Jixiang, "I said I would squeeze it out! Jixiang, go ahead and keep stepping!"

"Oh!" Jixiang went over and continued to step on the treadle, causing the tea oil to flow faster.

Zhou Jia pointed to the residue in the oil and said to Li Yu: "Miss Li. I think you should filter the oil to remove the residue."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "Just filter it with gauze later."

Zhou Jia squatted down and took a spoonful of it and poured it back into the basin and looked at the golden and transparent liquid. "Not bad, it looks much stronger than the vegetarian oil I sell. It also smells of a light fragrance."

Li Yu smiled proudly, "Of course, tea seed oil is good for people if eaten. If you don't believe me, try taking it for a few days."

Zhou Jia looked up at Li Yu, "It seems that Miss Li has eaten a lot of camellia oil?"

"My mother said so." Li Yu said with a smile and carried the steamer to the kitchen.

Li Yu was steaming tea seed powder in the kitchen, secretly warning himself not to get carried away.

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's back thoughtfully, shook his head, and helped Li Yu put the tea seed powder into the straw basket.

Several people were busy until the end of the hour and finished squeezing two stones of tea seeds. Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and said politely: "Noon is coming soon. Mr. Zhou, you and Ji Xiang can have a light meal at my house!"

Li Yu thought Zhou Jia would refuse, but Zhou Jia smiled and nodded, "Then our master and servant will bother Miss Li."

"Where! It's just a light meal." Li Yu smiled and went to the vegetable field, pulled out two lettuces, two radishes, pinched a handful of garlic sprouts and a bamboo basket of rapeseed, and carried them back home.

Aunt Qian had already washed the marinated meat and marinated ribs and cut them into inch-long pieces. Li Yu cooked a radish rib soup, fried a plate of lettuce slices, stir-fried the marinated meat with garlic sprouts, and stir-fried rapeseed.

When Li Qing returned home and saw Zhou Jia at his home, he was surprised and bowed to Zhou Jia, "Sir, do you know how my sister extracts oil?"

Zhou Jia smiled and nodded, "I see, Ah Qing's sister is a woman with a sharp mind."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Li Qing happily took off his schoolbag and showed it to Zhou Jia, "Sir, look at the schoolbag that my sister made for me. My sister said that if I carry this to school, I won't be afraid of my books getting wet in the rain. When it gets wet, even Xu Jinxin likes to ask my sister to make one for him."

Zhou Jia's eyes lit up as he took the schoolbag. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Yeah! It's really good. Ah Qing also told your sister to help Mr. and ask her to make one for me."

Seeing that Zhou Jia also liked the schoolbag made by Li Yu, Li Qing nodded happily, "Okay sir, I will tell my sister later."

Jixiang covered his face and felt blind: Ah Qing, do you know that you are helping the evildoer! Master, you are too shameless.

Li Yu put the dishes on the table and asked Aunt Qian to call Master and servant Zhou Jia to eat.

Ji Xiang refused to sit with Zhou Jia to eat, so Li Yu had no choice but to divide the dishes and let Li Qing eat with Xiao An and Ji Xiang.

Aunt Qian laughed when she saw Zhou Jia sitting on the small bench, unable to even straighten his legs, "Xiaoyu, look at Mr. Zhou sitting on the stool, unable to even straighten his legs."

Zhou Jia smiled and said, "It's okay, Miss Li's cooking is delicious."

Aunt Qian looked at Zhou Jia's elegant look while eating, "Mr. Zhou, I heard that your wealthy family eats without talking and sleeps without talking, right?"

Zhou Jia swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded, "That's almost it."

Aunt Qian sighed: "Ouch! We are not used to it. After a busy day, we sit together at dinner and talk about family affairs and the feuding parents in the village."

Li Yuxiao looked at Zhou Jia's red face and looked unaccustomed to it, and thought to herself: Will you still stay here to eat in the future?
