Chapter 124: Set Fire (Third Watch)

When I got home, it was getting a little dark.

Gu Lanshi and Gu Chenggang were still in the field and did not come back.

The seedlings in the paddy fields have been planted, and the next time is to clean up the dry fields at home, which used to be planted with soybeans or peanuts.

Gu Yunjie hurriedly put away the clothes in the yard, and Chu San arrived at the kitchen and began to light a fire to boil water.

When Gu Lanshi and the others came back, it was already completely dark outside.

"Lingbao." Gu Lanshi beckoned to Lingbao.

"Grandma Zeng, you can go to the county seat with us next time, the county is fun, there are a lot of delicious food."

"Okay, I'll go with you next time." Gu Lanshi held Lingbao in his arms, and there was a kind smile on his face.

After dinner, Gu Lanshi brought out a bag of peanuts and asked everyone to help peel the peanuts out, and they could be planted when the dry land was leveled.

"Milk, how many peanuts are we going to plant?" For the village, peanuts are something that every family grows, and you can not grow as much as you want, but you have to have them.

During the Chinese New Year, peanuts are one of the indispensable New Year's goods, and it is a little impractical if you even have to buy peanuts.

"We have two dry fields, one for peanuts and one for soybeans, just like in previous years." Peanuts and soybeans are set aside for their own food, and some of them can be sold or used to pay field tax.

"Can peanuts be used to extract peanut oil?" Gu Yunjie has been here for a few days, and she has always eaten lard, peanut oil or something, and she has never been in contact with it.

"Peanuts can be used for frying, used for cooking, how can they be used to extract oil." Gu Chenggang said.

Gu Yunjie was speechless.

She thought that in this era, there were peanuts, and there must also be peanut oil or soybean oil extraction technology, but she didn't expect that there would be no one at all.

Maybe it's not nothing, it's that civilians can't eat it at all.

It's a good overhead dynasty, but it's also ancient here. The oil extraction technology must be the ancient method of oil extraction, which is somewhat complicated, and the oil squeezed out is only for the palace or nobles.

She had to inquire about it.

If she really didn't, she had to plan it and see if she could bring the oil extraction technology here.

"I seem to have heard someone say that peanuts can be squeezed out of oil, and the vegetables stir-fried with peanut oil are very fragrant."

"There's no oil in this little peanut, it's all in the animal. We usually boil lard at the end of the year or the beginning of the year, boil a big can, and eat it for a year without a problem. ”

"I don't seem to have much oil at home." After she came over, she was very reluctant to put oil in the stir-fry, and the can of oil that hadn't been moved much seemed to be only half a can left.

"Now the family is not as good as before, the oil is gone, and I can buy fat meat and boil it at home." Gu Lanshi was not distressed.

Gu Yunjie looked at her body shape, and suddenly remembered an important question, she has been losing weight recently, and the results are there, but she has not yet reached the ideal weight. To get to the ideal weight, do you have to stop the lard?

For now, it's unlikely.

Because there is no substitute for oil at home except lard.

"Milk, I'll boil some peanut butter tomorrow." Peanuts can be made with a lot of deliciousness, and there is no way to squeeze oil for the time being, so make something else to eat first, and it's the same.

"I don't know this, if you do, you can get it."

After talking about peanuts for a while, Gu Chenggang talked about Liu Qingshan's family.

Liu Qingshan took the initiative to give up the position of Li Zheng, allowing the villagers to redeem some of their good feelings towards him. Now it is Liu Sihai.

Liu Sihai is usually a warm-hearted person and an upright person, the villagers like him very much, and the villagers accept Liu Sihai's uprightness.

"How is Grandma Wu doing these two days?" Gu Yunjie was a little worried about Mrs. Wu's condition. After her granddaughter left, her health was getting worse and worse, and after learning that her granddaughter had been beaten into a stake, her condition was even worse.

"It's okay for the time being, that's the most worrying thing." Gu Lanshi thought of Mrs. Wu's situation, and sighed lightly: "Keep all the thoughts and emotions in your heart, something big will happen after a long time." I'm going to see if she's asleep now, and I'm telling her to go with me tomorrow to plant peanuts. ”

Gu Lanshi thought of Mrs. Wu, and felt uneasy, so she got up and went to Mrs. Wu's house.

In order to save money for candles, Mrs. Wu went to bed early. At this time, her room was pitch black, and she couldn't see her fingers.

Gu Lanshi screamed a few times outside, thinking that Mrs. Wu was asleep, and when she was about to leave, the door opened, Mrs. Wu did not light the lamp, and a dark figure stood there.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wu's voice was hoarse.

"I thought you were asleep." Gu Lanshi sneered: "That my family will plant peanuts tomorrow, I want to ask if you are free." When my family finishes planting, I'll help you plant again. ”

"Okay, I'll be here tomorrow." After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she closed the door.

Regarding Mrs. Wu's attitude, Gu Lan's family didn't pay attention to it. With so many things going on at home, who can feel better.

She can agree to come over, probably because Xiaojie helped find Xiaohua.

"Milk, has Grandma Wu fallen asleep?"

"No, she said she would come over tomorrow."

Gu Lanshi thought of Liu Qingshan's Lizheng, and couldn't wait to stuff him into his mouth and bite a few bites: "You said that Liu Qingshan was so ruthless and revealed Xiaohua's birthday to that Mei Po." ”

"Didn't Grandma Wu say it before, they thought Xiaohua's birthday time was not good, and wanted to send Xiaohua away, but Grandma Wu didn't agree, so they thought of such a vicious method."

"What a sin."

"Who's to say it's not."

In the middle of the night, a black shadow and ghost stood outside Mrs. Wu's door, carrying a bucket of fire oil in his hand and splashing it on the dry wood outside Mrs. Wu's yard.

Light the fire fold and try to throw it on the dry wood.

It's just that before he could light the fire, it was blown out by a gust of wind, so he had to light it again.

When he was about to throw the fire fold out again, he heard someone shouting, "Someone, someone has set the fire." ”

Before the fire fold could be thrown, it was grabbed by the arm.

Hearing the sound, the villagers hurried out.

I saw that in the dark, Mrs. Wu hugged a person to the death, and while hugging her, she shouted: "Kill, set fire." ”

More than a dozen torches were lit in an instant, as bright as day.

In the light of the torches, everyone can see clearly. The person Mrs. Wu hugged was Liu Qingshan, and the fire in Liu Qingshan's hand had long been extinguished.

"What's going on?" The newly appointed Li Zheng and Liu Sihai stepped forward with a torch.

"Sihai, don't go near the firewood, he poured oil on it, and when it caught fire, it burned. This wolf-hearted old thing, he wants me dead. Mrs. Wu didn't let go, and hugged Liu Qingshan tightly.

If in normal times, Liu Qingshan's strength must be greater than her, and it would be easy to break free from Mrs. Wu.

Probably because I haven't slept well recently, my body is soft, and I don't have any strength at all.
