Chapter 16: Falling under a cliff

Liu Wan found that in addition to strengthening her body, the strength of the pill was much greater, she peeled the hard shell of Camellia oleifera seeds, and when she pressed her thumb, the shell was broken, and she felt that it was not effortless at all.

The newbie gift package given by the system, I experienced it, and it was still good.

The camellia seeds add up to at least 120 catties, and everyone worked for more than two hours to finally peel off all the shells.

Liu Wan looked at the sky, saw that the sun had moved to the west, and estimated that it would be down the mountain in two hours, she didn't have a watch, she didn't know what time it was, she felt very hungry, so she asked the system:

"What time is it?"

"4 p.m." The system is simple and powerful.

"Huh? It's so late, I haven't eaten lunch yet, no wonder I'm hungry. ”

Liu Wan was shocked.

"What kind of lunch? Your family only eats breakfast and dinner, and you don't eat lunch. ”

The system is ruthlessly authentic.

"What? Eating only two meals a day? ”

Liu Wan was shocked.

So poor?

Is it okay for the whole country to get rid of poverty in the 21st century?

There are still families who only eat two meals a day?

Well, it's her royal family......

Only then did Liu Wan realize that it was no wonder that no one said that they were going to make lunch.

Wu Hui is pregnant, and she eats two meals like everyone else, pitiful.

The two little ones couldn't tell if they were hungry, maybe they were used to it.

Liu Wan felt that she was very hungry, but she was embarrassed to say that other pregnant women and children did not say that they were hungry, and she was nothing alone.

The shell of the tea oil seeds was cleaned, and Liu Wan asked the two small ones to spread the tea oil seeds on the dustpan and put them in the sun to dry.

It just so happened that there was no rain in the past few days, and the weather in the south was like this, and the sun was scorching if it didn't rain.

At this time, the third Wang Jing came back from Uncle Wang, saw that there were so many camellia seeds dried at home, and asked strangely:

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

"Brother, we're going to squeeze tea oil!" Wang Lian said happily.

"yes, we've helped with the shelling." Wang Li also said that although they are small, they are not lazy.

Liu Wan said: "Jing'er, there is something I still need your help with!" ”

"Oh? What's up? Wang Jing was shocked when he heard it, and was even a little flattered.

This is his mother-in-law, who is so fierce that she casually beats people with a flat pole, can talk to him so politely.

If Liu Wan knew Wang Jing's true thoughts, she would definitely feel that he was Stockholm.

"Can you make me an oil press?" Liu Wan said.

"Oil press?"

Wang Jing had no concept in his mind at all.

Uncle Wang usually doesn't let him touch the carpenter's tools, and when he goes to Uncle Wang's house every day, he sweeps the floor for his house and helps carry materials or something.

"That's pretty much it. Can you do it? ”

Liu Wan had learned to press oil in the practice space, and she knew what the oil press looked like, so she talked to Wang Jing in detail.

The oil press provided by the practice space is not big, the home one, and it is not too complicated, it is an ancient oil press, all made of wood, and the materials are available in this era, and the more difficult thing is that it is all put together with mortise and tenon joints, which has to be done by professional craftsmen.

"Yes." Wang Jing listened to his mother's question, gritted his teeth and agreed.

It's been more than a year since he went to Uncle Wang's house to learn the craft, if he doesn't know anything, his mother will definitely be disappointed, right?

"Okay, then you have time to step up, and I'll be waiting for your oil press in three days."

Liu Wan saw that Wang Jing agreed so simply, and immediately had confidence.

Wang Jing hesitated and said, "If I want to make an oil press, I have to go to the third uncle's house to make it, otherwise I won't have the tools." ”

"Okay, there you go." Liu Wan didn't care and didn't think too much.

Wang Jing knew that if Uncle Wang was asked to make an oil press and add wood, it was estimated that he would have to give 300 yuan, or even more.

The family is so poor now, where can I get all this money?

However, according to his mother's words, the oil press does not need too much wood, and he just uses the waste wood of Uncle Wang's family to make it.

In the more than a year of Uncle Wang's time, although he had not touched the tools, when Uncle Wang was working, Wang Jing peeked, but Uncle Wang didn't know.

Now to learn the craft, in addition to their own people to teach their own people to teach with their hearts and lungs, outsiders want to learn, relying on stealing to learn, the so-called stealing teachers to learn art is how to come.

Nowadays, the channels for knowledge dissemination are not smooth, and knowing a craft is a way to make money, so it's normal for people not to teach you.

Church apprentices, starve masters.

Uncle Wang has been staying for a long time, and Wang Jing also understands this truth.

But thinking of his family's ardent expectations for him, and the fact that he really wanted to be a carpenter, Third Uncle Wang didn't teach him, he also endured it, thinking that he had learned it secretly, so he left Third Uncle Wang and went to the town to open a carpenter shop.

This is the greatest dream of a young man, and he will certainly not give up.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Liu Wan couldn't help but worry:

"Why hasn't Xiao'er come back yet?"

She put up the pergola with her hands and looked into the distance.

Wu Hui was also a little anxious when she heard her say this.

"Mother, there are a lot of fierce beasts in the mountains, and I will let Xianggong go hunting in the mountains in the future.

He always wanted to go up to the mountains to hunt prey and sell it these days, saying that he would improve his family's life, but I kept persuading him not to go, but he always didn't listen, and today I won't let him seize the opportunity. ”

Wu Hui complained.

"I'll persuade him in the future." Liu Wan listened to her sincerely, and nodded in agreement.

Just when they were worried, a man came from a distance on the village road, and he rushed to their house in the light of the sun.

Isn't that who Wang Xiao is?

As soon as I saw his cheerful steps, I knew that something should be gained.

"Mother, what do you see I have caught? Pheasants, hares! What a bumper harvest today! ”

Wang Xiao walked to the door of the house and saw that everyone was waiting for him, and couldn't help but say happily.

Liu Wan saw that he was holding a huge pheasant in one hand, five or six catties, and a fat hare in the other, which seemed to be seven or eight catties, and couldn't help but be happy.

The two little ones only looked at the eldest brother with adoring eyes, Wang Lian also wiped the saliva that overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and she thought of the fragrant stewed chicken.

Liu Wan also saw that Wang Xiao had torn the knees of the fabric, and there was a wound on the wrist, so she said quietly:

"Jing'er, take your eldest brother's prey. Xiaohui, you hurry up and get a basin of cool boiled water. ”

Washing the wound with cool, boiled water can prevent infection.

Wu Hui hurriedly fetched a basin of cold boiling water and asked Wang Xiao to scrub it, and Liu Wan didn't know where she went.

When scrubbing, Wu Hui found that Wang Xiao was injured, and Wu Hui's eyes were red again.

Wang Xiao hurriedly persuaded her: "Xiaohui, I'm fine." How can you go up to the mountains to hunt without rubbing it?

I was chasing pheasants too quickly and fell under the cliff. ”

Wang Xiao was in a hurry and told the truth, and everyone was stunned.

Wang Xiao saw everyone's shocked faces and said with a smile:

"I'm really fine, it's all thick soft grass under the cliff, and it doesn't hurt at all when I fall, but I rubbed it when I fell."
