When I got home, it was getting dark.

Gu Lanshi and Gu Chenggang are still in the field and have not returned.

The seedlings in the paddy fields have been planted, and the next time is to tidy up the dry fields at home. In previous years, they were planted with soybeans or peanuts.

Gu Yunjie quickly collected the clothes in the yard, and Chu San went to the kitchen with ease and started to light a fire to boil water.

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

"Lingbao." Gu Lanshi waved at Lingbao.

"Grandma Zeng, you can go to the county town with us next time. The county town is very interesting and has a lot of delicious food."

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

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

"Grandma, how many peanuts do we want to grow?" For the village, peanuts are something that every family can grow. You don't need to grow too many, but you have to have them.

During the Chinese New Year, peanuts are one of the essential items for the New Year. It would be unrealistic to buy even peanuts.

"We have two dry fields, one for peanuts and one for soybeans, the same as in previous years." Peanuts and soybeans are reserved for our own food, and some of them can be sold or used to pay land taxes.

"Can peanuts be used to extract peanut oil?" Gu Yunjie has been here for a while, and has always eaten lard, peanut oil, etc., and has never touched it.

"Peanuts can be used for frying, but how can they be used for oil extraction when they are boiled?" Gu Chenggang said.

Gu Yunjie was at a loss for words.

She thought that with peanuts in this era, there must be oil extraction technology for peanut oil or soybean oil, but she didn't expect that there was no such thing.

Maybe it's not that there is no food, but that common people can't eat it at all.

This is an overhead dynasty, but it is also ancient.The oil extraction technique must be the ancient method of oil extraction, which is somewhat complicated, and the oil extracted is only for the royal palace or nobles.

She needs to inquire about this matter.

If not, she has to plan carefully to see if she can bring the oil extraction technology here.

"I seem to have heard someone say that oil can be extracted from peanuts, and the dishes fried with peanut oil are very fragrant."

"How can there be any oil in this small peanut? The oil is all in the animals. We usually boil lard at the end of the year or the beginning of the year. It is no problem to cook it in a large jar and eat it for a year."

"I don't seem to have much oil at home." After she came over, she was very willing to put oil in the cooking. It seemed that there was only half a can of oil left.

"Now the family is no better than before. The oil is gone, so just buy fatty meat and cook it at home." Gu Lanshi didn't feel distressed.

Gu Yunjie looked at her body shape, and suddenly remembered an important question. Recently, she has been losing weight, and it has achieved some results, but she has not yet reached her ideal weight.If you want to achieve your ideal weight, do you have to stop lard?

For now, it's unlikely.

Because apart from lard, there is no other oil at home that can be substituted.

"Grandma, I'll make some peanut butter for eating tomorrow." There are also many delicious things that can be made from peanuts. There is no way to extract oil for the time being. Let's make some other food first, which is the same.

"I don't know how to do this. If you want to know how, you can do 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 Lizheng, so that the villagers regained some of their goodwill towards him.It is Liu Sihai who is here now.

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

"How is Grandma Wu these two days?" Gu Yunjie was a little worried about Granny Wu's condition.After her granddaughter left, her health became worse and worse. After learning that her granddaughter had been piled up, her condition became even worse.

"It seems to be fine for the time being, this is the most worrying thing." Gu Lanshi thought of Mrs. Wu's situation, and sighed softly: "Keep all your thoughts and emotions in your heart, and something big will happen after a long time Yes. I’ll go see if she’s asleep now, and ask her to plant peanuts with me tomorrow.”

Thinking of Mrs. Wu, Gu Lanshi was worried, so she got up and went to Mrs. Wu's house.

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

Gu Lanshi yelled a few times outside, thinking that Mrs. Wu had fallen asleep, and when she was about to leave, the door opened, Mrs. Wu didn't 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: "Well, my family is planting peanuts tomorrow, and I want to ask if you are free. After my family finishes planting, I will plant them for you."

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

Gu Lanshi didn't care about Mrs. Wu's attitude either.With so many things happening at home, who can feel better.

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

"Grandma, is Grandma Wu asleep yet?"

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

Gu Lanshi thought of Liu Qingshan's uprightness, and wished to put him in his mouth and bite him a few times: "You said that Liu Qingshan was so cruel, and revealed Xiaohua's birthday to that Mei Po."

"Didn't Grandma Wu say that before, they thought that Xiaohua's birthday was not a good time, and wanted to send Xiaohua away, but Grandma Wu disagreed, so they came up with such a vicious method."

"What a crime."

"Who said no."

In the middle of the night, a ghostly black shadow stood outside Granny Wu's door, holding a bucket of kerosene in his hand, and poured it on the dry firewood outside Granny Wu's yard.

I lit the fire pocket, and wanted to throw the fire pocket on the dry wood.

However, before his torch was lit, it was blown out by a gust of wind, so he had to light it again.

When it was lit again, just as I was about to throw out the torch, I heard someone shouting loudly: "Come on, someone set fire."

Before Huozhezi could be thrown out, someone grabbed his arm.

Hearing the sound, the villagers ran out in a hurry.

In the darkness, Mrs. Wu was hugging a person tightly, and while hugging, she shouted: "Murder, set fire."

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

Under the light of the torches, everyone can see clearly.The person that Mrs. Wu hugged tightly was Liu Qingshan, and the fire pocket in Liu Qingshan's hand had already been extinguished.

"What's going on here?" The newly appointed Lizheng Liu Sihai stepped forward holding a torch.

"Sihai, don't get close to that pile of firewood. He poured kerosene on it, and it will burn when it encounters fire. This wolf-hearted old thing, he wants me to die." Old lady Wu didn't let go, and hugged Liu Qingshan tightly.

Normally, Liu Qingshan must be stronger than her, and it would be easy to break free from Mrs. Wu.

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