Chapter 86: Consultation
"And when are we going to get it back?"
Yao Qingdong was a little eager to try, and seemed to be eager to go now.
Yao Qingyu also looked at Yao Muwan with the same eyes, although he didn't express that he wanted to go, but he groaned.
"If you're late, someone else might find out."
Isn't that something you want to go too?
Yao Muwan secretly snickered, but she, the eldest brother, would never say it explicitly, and she didn't break it.
"I definitely can't go tonight, my father and mother are at home, it's inconvenient, we make a big noise, maybe it will scare them."
Yao Qingyu and Yao Qingdong both felt that it made sense when they heard it.
But Yao Qingdong was still very worried, "What if someone else takes the lead?" ”
"Don't worry, second brother." Yao Muwan smiled proudly, "I'm the only one who knows such a thing as lime powder." ”
When Yao Qingdong heard this, he only felt that as long as there were good things, no one would take the lead, and he didn't notice at all why only Yao Muwan knew this problem.
Yao Qingyu looked at his younger brother's sluggishness and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
After some discussion, the three brothers and sisters decided to leave Yao Dashan and Chen in the dyeing workshop tomorrow.
Then the brothers Yao Qingyu and Yao Qingdong found an excuse to go home.
Before Chen and Yao Dashan went home, they brought the lime powder home.
When the time comes, it will be said that Yao Muwan came up with the idea, and they will cooperate to get it home to see, and the Chen family and Yao Dashan should not be angry.
After discussing, Yao Muwan went back to the room with her two brothers to sleep.
I didn't expect that the problem of how to get lime powder home was solved so easily, and Yao Muwan was still a little excited.
At the thought of being able to paint the house tomorrow, Yao Muwan was excited.
When the time comes, this courtyard will be more like the courtyard house she has seen in modern times, but she can't afford to live in.
Yao Muwan got up early the next morning, and then kept paying close attention to the movements of Chen and Yao Dashan.
After Chen and Yao Dashan left, Yao Muwan gave the two brothers a look, reminded them that they had forgotten their agreement, and then watched them leave the house.
Sure enough, it was noon.
Yao Dashan and Chen did not come back, but the two brothers Yao Qingdong and Yao Qingyu came back.
Yao Muwan immediately ran over excitedly and looked at them happily.
"Big brother, second brother, are you back? Daddy didn't doubt it, right? ”
Yao Qingdong patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, how can the eldest brother and the second brother let my father and mother find out." ”
Yao Qingyu also nodded, "Daddy is still watching the workers in the dyeing workshop, let's go quickly, don't waste time." ”
Yao Muwan smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go!" ”
With that, the three brothers and sisters left the house and walked towards the woods in the back mountain.
Then, Yao Muwan took Yao Qingdong and Yao Qingyu's two brothers to the place where she found lime powder yesterday.
"It's really as white as flour, sister, you're not mistaken, right? It's really not flour! ”
Yao Qingdong picked up a little lime powder and rubbed it on his fingers, and said in surprise.
Yao Qingyu also felt incredible, how could it be so white! It's even more enticing than flour!
The brothers immediately looked at Yao Muwan suspiciously, was it really not the younger sister who deliberately spilled the flour to trick them?
Yao Muwan knew that they definitely didn't believe it, and patiently explained.
"Big brother, second brother, don't look at this lime powder and flour are very similar, but it and flour are completely two different things, flour can be eaten, and this kind of thing will kill people if you eat it!"
In Yao Muwan's time, when natural disasters were not enough, some people used lime powder to satisfy their hunger, but they were later strung to death.
When Yao Qingyu and Yao Qingdong heard this, they were shocked in their hearts, and immediately dispelled the idea of wanting to try it.
"But...... There's so much lime powder here, we know it's not to be eaten, but others don't know, what if they eat it? ”
After a moment of silence, Yao Qingyu looked at Yao Muwan.
Yao Muwan was reminded by her eldest brother that she thought of this serious problem.
Yes, they know it's not to be eaten, but others don't!
Just now, Yao Qingdong and Yao Qingyu still want to try it!
Although their life is much better than before, in fact, the life of the whole village is not good, and there are still many people who do not have enough to eat.
If they had found lime flour that looked like flour, it might not have been used as something to eat, and then used to satisfy hunger.
"Big brother, what you said makes a lot of sense, we have to find a way."
Yao Muwan nodded approvingly.
"What's there to hesitate about, this is our woods, wouldn't it be better to just fence it off and not let outsiders in?"
Yao Qingdong didn't know what his eldest brother and sister were thinking, wasn't this their family's forest?
Circle it directly, and no one will say anything.
When the time comes, outsiders can't come in, so naturally they won't be able to find lime powder, and they won't accidentally eat it.
Yao Muwan and Yao Qingyu looked at Yao Qingdong at the same time, both of them couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle, their elder brother/younger brother, sometimes I really don't know if he is too stupid or wise.
When neither of them thought of it, they were actually thought of by Yao Qingdong.
"What, am I not right?"
Yao Qingdong noticed the gazes of his eldest brother and younger sister, and touched the back of his head with some puzzlement.
"No, second brother, you are very powerful!"
Yao Muwan praised sincerely.
When Yao Qingyu heard this, he also nodded with a smile.
"It's very smart."
Yao Qingdong doesn't have many brains, and no one has ever praised him for being smart.
This is the first time he has been praised for being smart, and he is also the smartest eldest brother and younger sister in the family, Yao Qingdong suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"I'm just blind."
"Alright, let's get started."
Yao Muwan estimated that the time was almost up, and after a little delay, her father and mother found that something was wrong, and I was afraid that she would have to come back.
Yao Qingdong and Yao Qingyu nodded and immediately began to dig lime powder.
The brothers dug for a long time, digging almost two large baskets.
Yao Muwan looked at it, and when she was almost done, she told them to stop.
"Okay, let's take these back first, and then maybe we won't be able to use them again."
Yao Qingdong and Yao Qingyu nodded when they heard this, wiped the sweat on their faces, and stopped.
Then, under the command of Yao Muwan, the lime pit was buried with blades of grass, so that it would not be easy to be discovered.
Next, Yao Qingdong and Yao Qingyu, two brothers, each picked up a basket of lime powder and went home, and Yao Muwan followed behind, walking leisurely.
After the three brothers and sisters arrived home, Yao Dashan and Chen had not returned.
Yao Yuntao and Yao Xue came up curiously and circled around the lime powder basket.
Yao Xue couldn't help but stretch out her hand and poke, "Big brother, second brother, sister, what's delicious in this basket?" ”
