Chapter 228 New Plan
Chapter 228 New Plan
The weather was very good during the windy season, and the melon seeds were almost dry after only two days of drying.
"Jiaojiao, what should we do with these melon seeds?"
He Jiaojiao has sorted it out clearly in the past two days. She remembered that when she was a child, her grandfather would fry the rapeseed oil in his workshop first, otherwise the oil yield would not be high.
"These need to be fried thoroughly. But..."
If Ziyi were to fry such a large quantity alone, he would probably be so tired that he wouldn't be able to lift his arms.
But if other people come along, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control the heat well and waste all those melon seeds.
Is there any good way?
"Jiaojiao, have you forgotten that we all have special abilities? Roasting these melon seeds is no problem at all." Chi Yan said, patting his chest.
"That's still too tiring!"
He Jiaojiao held her chin, her mind working rapidly. If there was an automatic stir-fry machine, she wouldn't have these troubles, but there was no such advanced thing in the animal world.
The most important thing is that the stone pot conducts heat slowly. With so many melon seeds, how long will it take to finish frying them?
You can't let yourself make iron, right?
He Jiaojiao sighed silently. Although she was good at physics and chemistry when she was in school, she had never tried iron smelting.
However, if iron can be successfully refined, it will contribute much more to the animal world than sunflower oil.
After much thought, He Jiaojiao decided to put the sunflower oil issue aside for the time being and deal with the iron pot first.
"Azhu, have you ever seen black stones like that in the mountains around here?"
"Black stone?"
Zhuxiong shook his head, but Chiyan looked thoughtful.
"Then can you help me ask other people, has anyone seen it?"
After all, the iron pot is only part of it. If iron can really be smelted, it will be extremely convenient to make cold weapons or farm tools.
"Jiaojiao, I think I've seen it!"
Chi Yan said uncertainly, "Then I'm not sure if it's the kind of stone you want!"
He Jiaojiao's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately took Chi Yan's hand and said, "Where did you see it, Ah Yan? Is it far from here? Can you take me there to have a look?"
"Jiaojiao, you..." Chi Yan's gaze fell on He Jiaojiao's slightly bulging belly, the implication of his words self-evident. Yesterday, he suddenly sensed that Jiaojiao had two fox cubs in her belly. This was the first time he truly felt the power of blood, and naturally, he didn't want Jiaojiao to get into trouble.
"Then Ayan, can you go and get some back so I can confirm it?" Since he couldn't go, he could only settle for the next best thing.
"Of course!" This time, Chi Yan agreed without hesitation. He then turned to look at Zhutian, who was talking to Hongyi, and said, "Zhutian, you can fly faster. Can you come with me?"
Zhutian nodded, "Okay!"
So, under He Jiaojiao's gaze, Zhutian and Chiyan disappeared from sight.
Lin Feng and Yuan on the side looked at each other. They had been together with Jiaojiao for some time, but they seemed to be unable to help in any way. They just ate and drank all day long and seemed to be of no use at all. This made them inexplicably uneasy, fearing that if this continued, Jiaojiao would dislike them.
"Ziyi, is there anything Linfeng and I can do?"
Yuan and Linfeng looked at Ziyi eagerly, making Ziyi, who was teasing Ruoxue, look confused.
What happened to these two beasts?
"What's wrong?"
Ziyi picked up Ruoxue and looked at the two strange people in front of him.
"I just want to contribute more to this family..."
As they spoke, they stole a glance at He Jiaojiao, who was standing at the door. Ziyi looked at He Jiaojiao, then at Zhuxiong, who was still busy picking herbs, and at himself, who was taking care of the baby. It seemed that the brothers Yuan and Linfeng were indeed too idle.
But he has no idea what these two are capable of?
He knew that they could eat, after all, they were the two who enjoyed the food the most every time it was cooked. But if you asked them what they could cook, I'm afraid no one in this family would know!
"How about you guys help take care of Ruoxue and Hongyi while I go to the vegetable garden to see if there are any fresh vegetables I can pick and eat."
Yuan immediately volunteered to take Ruoxue, but the next second, he felt a damp heat in his hand. After realizing what had happened, he froze in place, not daring to move.
Zi Yi had no choice but to carry Ruoxue back. While taking care of her, he said to Yuan, "Why don't you go to the vegetable garden and pick some leaves to stir-fry for Jiaojiao tonight. By the way..." Zi Yi looked up at He Jiaojiao and found that she didn't notice the movement here, so he lowered his voice and continued, "By the way, check if the fruit trees are still alive. If any one is dead, go and find a new one to replace it."
Yuan immediately washed his hands and rushed out of the house. Before leaving, he did not forget to kiss He Jiaojiao on the cheek and said excitedly, "Jiaojiao, I'm going to the vegetable garden."
By the time He Jiaojiao reacted and covered her wet face, Yuan had already run away. She smiled helplessly, not expecting that the seemingly steady Yuan could be so funny.
Seeing that Lian Yuan had something to do and he was the only one who had not been assigned anything, Lin Feng pouted, walked to He Jiaojiao, half-knelt and hugged He Jiaojiao's waist.
"what happened?"
It was rare to see Lin Feng in a low mood. He Jiaojiao was really curious. What happened that he didn't know about?
After Lin Feng told the whole story, he thought He Jiaojiao would comfort him, but He Jiaojiao burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Lin Feng felt even more upset.
"Silly Linfeng, if we see any chores at home, we just do them. If there's nothing else to do, you can naturally take a break!" He Jiaojiao touched Linfeng's head and said, "Besides, isn't taking care of me the most important thing? Why do you feel like you haven't done anything?"
Looking at He Jiaojiao's sincere eyes, Lin Feng was instantly moved. He buried his face in He Jiaojiao's legs and responded muffledly.
"Well, why don't you get up first, I'm a little thirsty."
Lin Feng stood up immediately, but he did not let He Jiaojiao do it. Instead, he poured the water quickly and brought it to He Jiaojiao's mouth.
"Look, aren't you doing something? Otherwise I would have to pour the water myself, right?"
After hearing what He Jiaojiao said, Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed. After all, such a small thing could be done even by Hong Yi who was working next to Wan Shuai.
Just when Ziyi was complaining about why Yuan had been gone for so long and hadn't come back, Yuan appeared hurriedly, looking very anxious.
"What happened?"
He Jiaojiao stood up and asked worriedly.
"The vegetables in the vegetable garden are gone!"
