The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Seeing Li Yu running far away to pick tea fruits, Zhou Jia slowly moved to Li Yu and smiled at Li Yu, "Miss Li, how did you come to pick camellia fruits to squeeze oil? This thing is in Qingshan No one should know about this place.”

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

Zhou Jia put the fruit into the basket, "Oh! I asked you, if you want to squeeze oil, you can only go to the oil mill outside Qingshan City to squeeze oil. I have a mule cart and oil drums that can be sent to you. .”

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

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with a smile on her face, "Can I go to your house to see Miss Li when she is pressing the oil?"

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia's smiling face and couldn't say anything to refuse, so he had no choice but to nod and say: "Okay."

Jixiang felt very depressed when he saw the young master fawning over Miss Li. He felt that it had been a long time since we had seen each other. The young ladies had always been around the young master, and the young master was too lazy to pay attention to them. Now it was the other way around.

Jixiang felt like he didn't even look at it and walked to Zhou Jia, "Master, noon is almost here. I'm going to hunt two pheasants and roast them when I come back."

Zhou Jia nodded and watched Ji Xiang walk towards the forest, continuing to talk to Li Yu. The two chatted wordlessly.

After more than half an hour, Jixiang took two pheasants to the stream and cleaned them. He took off the chicken skins and threaded them on a wooden stick. Li Yu took out the seasoning and spread it on them. Jixiang lit the fire and the two of them roasted the pheasants.

Ji Xiang glanced at Li Yu and said, "Miss Li, do you plan to take all these Camellia oleifera fruits home?"

Li Yu turned over the pheasants in his hands and said, "Yeah! Pick all the pheasants you can."

Ji Xiang looked at Zhou Jia who was picking tea fruits and then 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 aroma of pheasant meat, tore off a piece and took a bite, "Yeah! It tastes pretty good. Let's ask your young master to come and eat it!"

Ji Xiang nodded, handed the pheasant to Li Yu, and called Zhou Jia to go.

Li Yu took the opportunity to take out the bamboo tube and egg pancakes from the space. When Jixiang and Zhou Jia came over, he handed the pheasant to them. The pancakes were roasted on the fire and then handed to them, "Eat it! I brought it out in the morning."

Zhou Jia took the pancake and gave one piece to Jixiang, and the three of them ate around the fire.

After eating, Li Yu put out the fire and said to Zhou Jia and Ji Xiang: "Thank you both for your help today. I have to pick for 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 smiled and walked towards the tea forest.

Li Yu looked at Ji Xiang with a sad face, shrugged at him, turned around and went to pick tea fruits.

Several people picked for another hour before filling three sacks and one sack on their backs. Ji Xiang carried two sacks of tea fruits, and Li Yu carried one sack on his back.

Zhou Jia was thinking as he walked, he had obviously seen Li Yu pick several sacks, why only three sacks now! Could it be that I saw it wrong?

Li Yu carried the tea fruit full of resentment and walked forward. If you two didn’t come, I would wave my hands and walk away. When he was almost home, he took out the bamboo basket and sack from the space and carried them home easily. Now it’s really embarrassing for me. Carrying these tea fruits for such a long distance.

Several people arrived at Li Yu's house at the end of Shen Shi. Jixiang placed the sack at the door. Li Yu said politely: "Mr. Zhou, Jixiang, thank you. I will squeeze out the tea oil and send it to you to try."

Zhou Jia nodded and smiled: "Okay, then we will wait for Miss Li to send tea oil."

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

Li Yu joked casually, "Oh! They happened to meet each other when they went up the mountain to play."

Li Yu moved the camellia fruit into the wing, put it into the space, locked the door, and saw Li Qing coming back with a book basket, "Aqing, didn't sister make a schoolbag for you? Why don't you use it?"

Li Qing smiled sheepishly, "Sister, I want to keep it for later use."

Li Yu guessed that Li Qing was reluctant to bear it for fear of breaking his back, so he smiled and patted him, "Idiot, it's not a pity that the schoolbag is ready! I'll make it for you after it's worn out!"

Li Qing laughed happily, "Yes! I will carry my schoolbag to school tomorrow."

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Yu went out with the bamboo pole on his back, he saw Jixiang and Ruyi waiting at the door. Jixiang looked at Li Yu and smiled, "Miss Li, the young master asked me and Ruyi to help you go up the mountain to pick tea fruits."

Li Yu looked at the two of them in surprise, "Why are you so embarrassed? I can do it alone. You go back!"

Ji Xiang and Ruyi shook their heads, "That won't work. The young master will blame us when we get back."

Li Yu had no choice but to lead the two of them up the mountain. With the help of Jixiang and Ruyi, it took them two days to pick all the remaining tea fruits home.

Li Yu stored the tea fruits in the space and started transplanting the rapeseed. Seeing that Li Yu's family had begun to plant rapeseed, Chen Yaohui, his wife, and Li Mei's family came to help Li Yu plant rapeseed.

Chen Yaohui and Liu Changmin dug the nests, Laidi and Qianshi pulled out the seedlings, Xiaoan placed the seedlings, Li Yu brought the fertile soil and put it in the nest, Li Mei and Zhaodi stood up the rapeseed seedlings in the nest and pressed the rapeseeds with soil. Dig the soil around the roots of the seedlings to cover them.

In the evening, Stonemason Chen delivered the finished stone mortar to Li Yu's house. Li Yu asked him to place the mortar against the wall of the woodshed. Stonemason Chen placed the mortar on three stone pillars and fixed it with isinglass. Finally, a stone slab was laid next to it.

Shijiang Chen pointed to the bamboo pipe at the bottom, "Xiaoyu, the golden bamboo I found was cut through, baked and bent, and stuck inside to ensure it won't fall off. Also, when you press the oil, step on this wooden board, and it will be pounded like rice. When the cork is struck into the mortar socket, the cork 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 Chen Shijiang away, he returned to the yard and tried it out. He found that it was the same as stepping on the vertebrae. It also used the lever principle. He stepped on the board and knocked on the cork to squeeze the cork. Press the oil cake to squeeze out the oil, but you have to try it to know whether it works or not.

When everyone came back after work, they saw the oil-pressing stone mortar sent by Chen Shijiang. After looking at it for a while, Chen Yaohui and Liu Changmin felt unsure, "Little fish, it doesn't matter if you can't press oil or pound rice."

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

Dinner consisted of pork ribs stewed with radish, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, stir-fried rapeseed, and watercress fish. “This fish and twice-cooked pork are so fragrant.” Chen Yaohui pointed to the sauce vat in Li Yu’s courtyard after eating the watercress fish and twice-cooked pork. “Is the fish fried with that bean paste? ?”

Li Yu nodded, "Yes, Uncle Chen, I will scoop a jar for you later and you can take it back to the village chief grandpa to have a taste."

Chen Yaohui took a sip of wine and smiled heartily, "Okay, I'm not welcome."

After dinner, Li Yu scooped out a can of bean paste for Chen Yaohui, and the couple happily carried it home.

Li Mei looked at Li Yu and asked, "Yu'er, what do you think would be good to plant in my wasteland?"

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, how about you grow radishes and green vegetables! When you grow up, you can make pickles and sell them."

Li Mei nodded, "Okay, let's go back first and come back early tomorrow morning."

Li Yu sent Li Mei's family and Qian's family away and returned to the house. He found that Li Qing had fed the pigs. The siblings washed up and rested separately.
