Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

Widow Jia's somewhat aggrieved voice came. "Li Zheng, didn't you think that I cooked too much yesterday and couldn't make a living? So I wanted to save a little today. Besides, I also grilled worm meat!"

Li Zheng said angrily: "Some people don't eat long worms. No matter how much you save, the porridge can't be this thin. Even if you put some wild vegetables in it, I won't blame you."

Seeing the opportunity, one of the carpenters said angrily: "Widow Jia, can you do it? If not, you have to replace me. Why are you making buns and steamed buns if you can't even cook rice?"

After hearing this, Widow Jia's false grievances turned into real grievances. For whom was she scolded by Li Zheng yesterday? I didn't want everyone to eat better, but today I just didn't help and talked to her, so I just said this to her.

The more Widow Jia thought about it, the angrier she became. She yelled at the top of her lungs: "What kind of steamed buns are you talking about? When will I start making steamed buns?"

Seeing that Widow Jia was anxious, the carpenter snorted coldly: "If you don't make steamed buns, then why do you need so many steamers? You clearly know that our carpentry tasks are heavy, yet you asked Li Zheng to jump in the queue to make big steamers for you."

When Li Qingxiu heard this, she knew that the carpenter had misunderstood. She immediately came out and explained: "Uncle Gao, it's none of Aunt Jia's business. I want this big steamer!"

Li Zheng also said: "This is a misunderstanding, and it's my fault that I didn't make it clear. The big steamer is indeed what the pretty girl wants."

Li Gao, who was called Uncle Gao by Li Qingxiu, realized that he had misunderstood Widow Jia. His face suddenly turned a little red and embarrassed.

"Um, Widow Jia, I'm sorry, I thought it was you..."

Widow Jia ignored Li Gao. She saw Li Qingxiu as if she were meeting her mother's family.

She walked to Li Qingxiu and said aggrievedly: "Nie Qingxiu, you don't know. The meal I cooked yesterday was too much, and I accepted it when Li Zheng scolded me, but today I listened to Li Qingxiu and saved the day." A little. Li Zheng is still not satisfied with the result. Also, they ate so deliciously yesterday, but no one spoke to me today."

When Li Zheng saw Widow Jia asking for support from Li Qingxiu, his eyelids twitched fiercely. This girl is indeed not a simple person.

Li Qingxiu smiled slightly: "We have all experienced life and death together, so it would be nice to talk about this little thing. I think the porridge is indeed a bit thin, so why not add more white flour. Otherwise, the folks will not be able to help later. I work."

When Widow Jia heard what Li Qingxiu said, she asked Li Zheng if she could add more white flour.

Li Qingxiu said this, so Li Zheng naturally would not refute her meaning, so he nodded. "Well, just keep the portion size in mind next time."

Wait until everyone has finished breakfast. Except for the men doing carpentry work and building pig and rabbit pens, everyone else gathered in the open space waiting for Li Qingxiu to speak.

Facing these fellow villagers who had been getting along with each other for a long time, Li Qingxiu did not have stage fright. She walked up to them very generously and spoke gracefully.

"First of all, I would like to thank all the folks who stopped what they were doing to help me make scented tea. The first step is to pick chrysanthemums. Picking chrysanthemums is not difficult at all, but it is not easy at all."

"Because making scented tea is a very careful job. I need whole chrysanthemums. Of course, I can't pick the flowers randomly. I can just cut off the stems of the chrysanthemums and pick them whole."

After speaking, Li Qingxiu led everyone to the chrysanthemum field, picked one with her own hands and showed it to everyone.

"That's it. Let's pick these flowers now before proceeding to the next step. Oh, by the way, don't pick if the flowers have withered or just bloomed. Be sure to pick the chrysanthemums that are in full bloom."

After everyone heard the request clearly, they all carried bamboo baskets and went to the chrysanthemum field to pick chrysanthemums.

Li Qingxiu has confirmed that the chrysanthemums in this area are indeed golden chrysanthemums, because she has bought them before and drank them.

When brewing, just put one flower in the cup, and then boil it with water. The flower will bloom with its original beauty and fragrance. She likes to put a few grains of rock sugar in the chrysanthemum tea, which makes it taste better.

Li Qingxiu did not pick chrysanthemums. Because the system requirements are high-quality golden silk emperor chrysanthemum. So Li Qingxiu went around checking the quality of chrysanthemums picked by everyone.

After checking, she saw that everyone was picking chrysanthemums according to her request. Li Qingxiu felt relieved and started picking chrysanthemums herself.

Everyone had never done the work of picking flowers before, and they thought it was quite strange and easy at first. But after picking half of the flowers, they felt that it was no different from the busy work of farming.

An hour later, all the perfect chrysanthemums in this large chrysanthemum field were picked, leaving only some unbloomed buds or withered flowers.

Li Xuan felt that the chrysanthemum field was miserable at first glance. He felt a little unhappy that such a noble place was destroyed like this.

After helping to pick the flowers, Mr. and Mrs. Li Zheng came back and saw their son's expression of sadness. They looked at each other.

It was Zhao Cuihua who spoke first: "Xuan'er, these chrysanthemums will wither if not picked for a long time. It's better to make Qingxiu into dried flowers."

Li Xuan took a breath and said: "I know, mother, I don't blame Qingxiu, I just saw a sea of ​​splendid flowers that was fine yesterday. Today it has become this withered and defeated look, and my son just feels a little emotional in his heart. That’s all.”

Li Zheng thought for a while, patted Li Xuan on the shoulder and said, "The pretty girl knows that you like chrysanthemums, and she said she would give you a surprise in three days."

Li Xuan smiled and didn't take it to heart.

The first step of picking flowers has been completed, and the next step is to clean the chrysanthemums.

Li Qingxiu looked at the waterfall left on the mountainside. Although the water was not as yellow as yesterday, it was still not clear.

Li Qingxiu refused to use this water to wash her chrysanthemums because she was afraid that if she used this dirty water, the system would determine that the chrysanthemums were not high-quality.

When the elder Chen and the younger Chen saw Li Qingxiu staring at the waterfall, they knew that this girl wanted to wash the chrysanthemums with water. The two sisters directly took out the three buckets of clean water that the family had saved yesterday for Li Qingxiu to use.

Li Qingxiu also had water herself, so naturally she refused to accept their water. Unexpectedly, the elder Chen family and the younger Chen family were not used to Li Qingxiu, so they directly held the flowers and put them in the wooden barrel to wash them.

Seeing this, Li Qingxiu had no choice but to accept their kindness, and also told them to be careful when washing, as too much force would wash off the chrysanthemum petals.

This job was taken care of by a few women, and the others returned to their original posts. Wait for the women to clean the chrysanthemums in several bamboo baskets.

Li Zheng also sent two large steamers that were ready, and said that they were already working hard to make the remaining three and would have to wait a little longer.

Two Li Qingxiu didn't mind it, so they taught several women to put chrysanthemums on the steamer one by one, and asked Widow Jia to start boiling water to steam the chrysanthemums.

Place two steamers covered with chrysanthemums on a pot of boiling water and start steaming. It only takes five minutes.

Li Qingxiu took out the oilcloth and wiped it clean, then placed it on the grass where the sun was shining, and then used a few stones to press the four corners of the oilcloth in place.

Finally, put the steamed chrysanthemums on top one by one. Let the sun dry out the water in the chrysanthemums.
