Chapter Seventy-Two: Sharpening the Knife and Cutting the Wood

"Yudisc, we have such a saying in Changguo, called sharpening the knife and not cutting wood, we sharpen the firewood knife, and the firewood will be twice the result with half the effort, and the speed will be faster in comparison." Su Yiyi put down the firewood knife and began to look for it in the yard, smiling and explaining to the greeting plate.

Zhu Yupan was silent for a while, thinking about the meaning of Su Yiyi's words, and after she figured it out, she helped Su Yiyi find the stone plate together.

"Found it, here!" The greeting dish pointed to the stone plate in a small corner of the kitchen, happily picked it up, quickly walked to Su Yiyi's eyes, and handed it to her.

"Yudi, can you go get me some more water? A bowl is all it takes. Su Yiyi took the stone plate, sat down on the stool, put the firewood knife on the stone plate, and said to the Zhu Yu plate with a smile.

Zhu Yudi was stunned for a second, smiled and hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of water, and put it at Su Yiyi's feet, "The water is here." ”

"You sit on the side and wait, I'll sharpen the knife." Su Yiyi pointed to the stool on the side and motioned for the dish to rest first.

The greeting dish glanced around, ran to the pile of firewood, and began to draw the firewood down little by little.

"I'll take some of them off first, and it will be much easier for us to chop wood later."

Zhu Yudi was busy for a while, and felt that it was almost over, so he sat aside and watched Su Yiyi sharpen his knife.

This is the first time she has heard someone say that "sharpening knives is not a woodcutter", and it is the first time she has seen others sharpen knives with her own eyes.

I heard that she was also from a big family, and how to do these things, not only did she not have the slightest sense of tenderness, but it made her have an indescribable admiration.

"Yiyi, you know a lot of things!" Zhu Yudi stared at Su Yiyi for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth to praise.

Su Yiyi didn't look up, still staring at the firewood knife in his hand, grinding it seriously, "You wait a while, this knife can be sharpened in a while." ”

Zhu Yudi watched the embroidery leave the knife little by little, the blade appeared in the sun little by little, the whole chai knife seemed to be reborn in an instant, completely different, looking at Su Yiyi's small hands, I felt that there seemed to be infinite power on it.

"Alright, your hatchet!" Su Yiyi handed her the firewood knife of the greeting plate, and her smile was as bright as a spring flower in the sun, with a warm glow.

"Yiyi, you're so beautiful!" Zhu Yudi looked at Su Yiyi and couldn't help but praise again.

"Okay, don't look at me anymore, we're going to try to cut all this firewood before it gets dark today, or we'll run out of food tonight." Su Yiyi patted the shoulder of the greeting disc, glanced at the firewood that had not yet started, and smiled in a relaxed tone.

"Well, you grind first, I'll chop wood." The greeting dish seemed to be filled with enthusiasm by Su Yiyi in an instant, lifted the firewood knife, and walked towards the pile of firewood that had not yet moved with strength.

As soon as the knife went down, the firewood was split into two petals, and Zhu Yudi looked at the results in front of him in surprise, a little incredible, but it seemed that everything was reasonable, and a sense of joy in his heart could not help but arise.

She didn't expect that after being sharpened, the firewood knife would be so smooth and smooth after revealing the edge it should have.

Not long after, Su Yiyi's firewood knife was also sharpened, she quietly put the bowl and stone plate back in the kitchen, and returned to the backyard to start the official chopping road with the greeting plate.

After being transformed by Su Yiyi's hands, the firewood knife was indeed much easier to use than before, and the speed of the two of them was also improved a lot in an instant.

At lunchtime, the housekeeper came to see that the two had only cut a small half of the firewood, and when the order was given, the two had no chance to eat lunch.

She didn't pay attention to Su Yiyi and Zhu Yudi's firewood knives, and confidently gave the order to cut all the firewood before eating.

After the housekeeper left, Su Yiyi and Zhu Yudi exchanged a happy look, looked at the firewood that had not yet been chopped, and the movements and strength of their hands were actually a little faster than before.

In the evening, in the kitchen where dinner was distributed, Su Yiyi and Zhu Yudi arrived with the others, and only then did they grab two steamed buns and a bowl of white porridge under the desperate competition.

After the two of them grabbed the food very interestingly, they both automatically found an inconspicuous little corner, and ate quickly, although they finished their work, but for a while, if the housekeeper did not let them eat for other reasons, this next meal, maybe when they will be able to eat.

"Ahem......" The greeting dish choked a little because he ate too quickly, and he couldn't help but tremble and cough.

"Eat slowly, come, drink porridge!" Su Yiyi hurriedly patted the back of the greeting plate and handed over the porridge in her hand.

Zhu Yudi took the porridge, took a sip, and swallowed the steamed bun choked in his throat, which made him feel a lot better.

"Where are the two maidservants who came yesterday?"

Suddenly, a familiar loud voice came from outside the room, and as the sound approached, the man gradually entered the room.

Su Yiyi's heart instantly missed a beat, no, the housekeeper is here.

The two quickly exchanged a look, swallowed all the remaining steamed buns into their mouths in two or three bites, and drank the porridge in one go.

Su Yiyi secretly stuffed the bowl of porridge to the side of the small corner, took the hand of the greeting plate, and slowly stood out.

"Mama, are you looking for us?" Su Yiyi stood up and blocked the greeting disc behind her.

The housekeeper stared at Su Yiyi for a long time, and suddenly smiled on her gloomy face, "The little girl is quite smart, but unfortunately, in this palace, these little cleverness will only make you lose your life earlier." ”

"The slave doesn't understand what Mama is saying." Su Yiyi pretended to be stupid, she knew that this grandmother was afraid that she had already gone to the backyard and found the firewood knife that had been sharpened, so she had such a lesson in anger.

"Don't understand? Now that you're done with today's work, I won't embarrass you, that's it for the time being, let's continue tomorrow! The grandmother stared at Su Yiyi for a long time, showed an inexplicable smile, and turned to leave.

"She just let us go today?" Zhu Yudi tugged at Su Yiyi's sleeve, looking at the departing figure of her grandmother in disbelief, she thought that there would be some torture tonight.

Su Yiyi looked at the back of the man leaving, her eyes were secretive, since she was ordered by Cheng Chuxue to teach them a lesson, it was impossible to let go of the two of them so easily.

Behind this seemingly calm, maybe tomorrow, there will be a bigger storm waiting for the two of them, but since you have stepped here, it doesn't matter if you are in the wind or the rain, she Su Yiyi will suffer it!
