Description

Yu Qingze transmigrated to a world, where there are no women, only gers and men. He was rescued by a ger no one wants to marry because he couldn't speak, has a scarred face, and a dull cinnabar mole between his brows indicating low fertility.

Yu Qingze, who has tasted the warmth of human affection in his previous life, did not dislike the other's flaws at all: ancient people without vision, my wife is kind-hearted, ingenious, capable, and virtuous. There will be times when you will envy him in the future!

Relying on his professional cooking skills, Yu Qingze would make money, raise a family, have a few babies, and guard the people who he loves and who love himself. This is the most important reason for his rebirth.

As soon as Yu Qingze regained consciousness, he noticed that a warm, bitter liquid had been poured into his mouth. It tasted like Chinese medicine. He subconsciously frowned and turned his head.

The next moment, a crisp young voice came from his ear.

"Brother, look, he's awake."

Yu Qingze didn't hear an answer, only felt that his neck and cheeks were wiped clean by a slightly rough cloth. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

"Hey, big brother, wake up!"

His arm was shaken; Yu Qingze opened his eyes, and in front of him was the enlarged face of a young boy, about eight or nine years old, bending over to look at him. Dark skin, round eyes, two small buns on the top of his head, the kind that was of ancient teenagers, he was also wearing a gray period clothes, very thin.

What happened? Yu Qingze blinked and saw the boy grin at him.

Yu Qingze was a little confused. He remembered that he went back to the countryside to visit his grandfather's grave. He encountered heavy rain and landslides on the winding mountain road. He seemed to be buried by…

Buried?!

Yu Qingze sat up in shock, staring at the off-white top and blue trousers on his body for a moment. He still remembered the feeling of despair when he was buried and suffocated by the mud. At that time, because there were no vehicles passing, no one was around to rescue him, so, he should have been… dead.

So, what's going on now? He's alive again?

Yu Qingze felt there was a tingling pain in his left foot, which was wrapped in cloth, and some traces of herbal leaching could be seen on the edge of the bandage. It seems to be sprained. There are some scratches on his arm and torso, other than that, there is no other serious problem, just a little weak and lack of strength.

"Ughh, you startled me." Yu Qingze sat up suddenly. The boy was startled, his body bounced back suddenly, and he turned his head and said to another person beside him: "Brother, he really woke up! "

Brother? Hearing the boy's words, Yu Qingze noticed that there was a young man sitting next to the boy.

He is about 20 years old, very thin, with long and thick bangs on his forehead, almost covering his eyes, and his hair is tied behind his head casually, revealing a handsome face. He was opening his lips slightly, looking at Yu Qingze with wide eyes, also with a surprised look, holding a gray-white cloth in his hand, and holding a bowl of medicine in the other hand, and there was only a little bit of the liquid in it.

Seeing Yu Qingze looking over, the young man quickly looked away as if embarrassed. He pursed his lips slightly, put down the cloth towel and the medicine bowl, and pointed at him with one finger. He then rubbed his hands together and made a gesture, a pair of dark eyes pierced through the thick long bangs looking at him with gentle concern.

Yu Qingze blinked, looking at the young man blankly.

"My brother asked how you are doing. Is there any discomfort?" The boy turned his head and said.

"…" It turned out that the young man couldn't speak. Yu Qingze quickly suppressed the surprise in his eyes and said to the two: "I'm fine. Did you guys save me? Thank you."

The young man quickly replied: "It was my brother who saved you. You don't know how dangerous it was. It rained heavily, and a landslide collapsed on the back of the mountain. When my brother found you, you were stuck in two big pieces of stones, only your head was unburied. If my brother hadn't moved the stone with great strength and dug you out, you would have died!"

Yu Qingze thanks you for reading on

The boy spread out his hands to compare the size of the stone. It looked really big. The two hands were separated by more than one meter, and they were almost 180 degrees wide.

Yu Qingze knows the stone was big, but, little boy, don't you exaggerate, if the stone was really that big, with your brother's small body, are you sure he could have moved it?

Yu Qingze complained in his heart, the young man was so thin that it looked as if a gust of wind could blow him away. He couldn't imagine the scene where he lifted a stone as big as the boy described.

Of course, he would not say these words, the grace of saving life is beyond doubt. It's just that he didn't know that the little boy really didn't exaggerate.

He turned his head and sincerely thanked the young man: "Thank you for saving me. What's your name?"

The young man couldn't answer, so the boy replied naturally instead of his brother: "My brother's name is Chang Le, and my name is Chang Hao."

"Thank you very much." Yu Qingze sat up straight and thanked him again, and then he introduced himself: "My name is Yu Qingze, Qing like clear, Ze like lake."

Chang Hao changed his voice and called out, "Brother Yu."

Chang Le smiled slightly, nodded in greeting, then made a gesture to his brother, and went out with the cloth towel and medicine bowl.

Yu Qingze couldn't understand his sign language, so he looked at the boy doubtfully, waiting for him to translate for himself.

Chang Hao nodded to his brother, and then said to Yu Qingze: "My brother said you're welcome. He's going to ask the doctor to come and take a look at you now. You don't know, you've been in a coma for two days, and you still have a fever. The doctor said that if you If the temperature doesn't drop today, it's dangerous."

"Thank you, I'm fine now." Yu Qingze touched his forehead, he no longer had a fever, and then looked around while inquiring about the situation, "Little brother, where is this?"

Above his head is a gray bed tent, and under his body were bamboo mats and ancient wooden beds. Old wooden doors, khaki mud bricks, thatched roofs. There is also a 'bed' on the opposite wall. There are several wooden boards of different lengths on two benches, covered with straw and mats, and two pillows. The four legs of the bench are tied with four pieces of wood. A bamboo pole with two more tied to it to hang the bed tent. There is a simple shelf in the corner with a square box on it. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

It's really … crude.

Since he was born, he has never met anyone living in a thatched hut. Looking at the attire of the brothers, it is obviously very ancient.

Everything in front of him made him have an ominous premonition in his heart. A very absurd thought even flashed in Yu Qingze's mind.

Did he transmigrate?

"Hey, don't you know where you are? Then how did you get to our rear mountain? We are in Niutou Village, which belongs to Tongshan County. Tongshan City is two or three miles away from here, not very far, and it takes about half an hour to walk." Chang Hao widened his big, round eyes and said to Yu Qingze.

The boy's answer undoubtedly confirmed part of Yu Qingze's conjecture. He was silent for a while, then he started chatting with him, taking mental notes.

By the time Chang Le brought the doctor in, Yu Qingze had already gathered a lot of information and knew that this was a country called Dasheng, which had just been founded fifteen years ago. Then there are forty or fifty families in Niutou Village, and there are two surnames in the village, Yu and Chang. The parents of the two brothers passed away when Chang Hao was two years old, and there is still a grandfather at home. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

Chang Hao was still young, so he didn't know about too many things. He only knew if they traveled a little further away, there was Tongshan City, after that is Yunzhou city, and there was a capital somewhere.

Yu Qingze is not in a hurry, the news can be inquired later, the more important thing is obviously how to explain his identity to the Chang family.

Unidentified strangers are a disturbing factor in any era.

After the doctor's inspection, he determined that Yu Qingze was fine and explained that he should pay more attention to rest in the next few days and left.

Yu Qingze was still thinking about making a speech in his mind, but neither of the brothers asked him where he came from nor what he was doing by their village. Chang Le sent the doctor away and went to cook. He never came in again. Chang Hao was also sent away by his brother to do something.

Yu Qingze breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about going out to have a look. There were a pair of clogs and a pair of straw sandals on the ground, making him feel a little warm in his heart, he assumed it was because the host didn't know his preferences, so he placed two options for him to choose.

He put on the straw sandals and moved towards the door step by step. The left foot was sprained so badly that even the entire ankle was swollen.

As soon as he reached the door of the room, Chang Hao came back with a split branch. When he saw Yu Qingze, he hurriedly said: "Hey, Brother Yu, why did you come out. Here's a wooden crutch for you, my brother just cut it."

Yu Qingze took the simple wooden crutch and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, I've troubled you guys."

Chang family residence is not big, with the main room in the middle, two rooms in the east, a kitchen in the west, and behind the kitchen are the pigsty and the bath room.

The room Yu Qingze was in was the main room. To the north of the main room is an offering table with two tablets and a clay incense burner in front. Looking at the words on the tablet, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the words here were the same as those in his world, but some were in traditional Chinese.

There is a square table and four wooden stools on one side of the wall. On the other side of the wall stood a load of rice grains with grass clippings in them, which should have just been harvested before they could be dried and put into the warehouse. At the foot of the wall was an unfinished straw mat and some bamboo strips.

Yu Qingze thanks you for reading on

Simple and clean at a glance.

On the other side is the kitchen, and the sound of firewood crackling is coming from inside. Yu Qingze moved over and saw Chang Le cooking rice by the stove, then he broke a dry branch as thick as his arm casually into two pieces.

"…" Yu Qingze opened his mouth in awe and looked at Chang Le's two small arms, then looked down at his own, silently. Really powerful.

Yu Qingze was stunned for a while, and when he saw Chang Le looking over, he held the door frame, stretched out his hand and raised the wooden crutch in his hand, and thanked him with a smile: "Brother Chang Le, thank you."

Chang Le smiled shyly, waved his hand to say no worry, and then pointed to the door.

"My brother asked you to sit outside, there was a lot of smoke in the kitchen." Chang Hao translated in a timely manner.

Yu Qingze understood and didn't want to cause trouble to the two brothers, so he sat at the door.

Outside is a small yard surrounded by a fence. On the right side of the yard is a shed, and there are a lot of firewood stacked in it. Now that the yard has been cleaned, there are several large straw mats on the ground, on which golden rice is dried. On the other side are two racks for drying clothes and a fishing net.

After seeing Yu Qingze sitting down, Chang Hao picked up the drying rake under the eaves and started harvesting the millet, and while at it, he said to Yu Qingze, "My brother said we're eating new rice today, I can already smell its fragrance! Hey, it smells really good!"

Chang Hao raised his head and took a deep breath, enjoying himself very much.

It is dusk, the sun is gradually setting in the west, and the orange-red sunlight dyes everything in its color. The young boy's face raised against the setting sun showed an incredible luster, tinged with hope and happiness.

Very peaceful. Yu Qingze looked at everything in front of him and had only one thought.

"Have you finished collecting the millet at home?" Yu Qingze moved over and picked up the broom beside him to help sweep. Chang Hao quickly stopped him when he saw it.

"Eh, Brother Yu, sit down now, I'll be done soon." The young man grabbed the broom in Yu Qingze's hand, and did not allow Yu Qingze to refuse but help him onto the stool, then rolled up his sleeves and trousers. His hands and feet neatly moved to gather the millet that was drying on the straw mat, he did not forget to answer Yu Qingze's question.

Yu Qingze thanks you for reading on

"It's not that fast, it will take many days. My family has three acres of land, and I just finished harvesting a piece of land. After harvesting, I still need to plant the seedlings. It has to be planted before the beginning of autumn. That is to say, I will finish work earlier today, and I will have to plant it again tomorrow. So busy."

"You are such a hardworker."

"Hey, it's not hard work, after the millet is harvested, you can eat rice, and you don't have to go hungry." The boy's face was filled with contentment and yearning.

"Why don't I see your grandfather?"

"Grandpa went to the mountain to collect herbs. The herbs and medicines on your ankles were collected by Grandpa."

The two chatted casually.

During the conversation, a middle-aged man dressed a bit fancily and with a dark red mole between his eyebrows pushed open the courtyard door and walked straight in. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Qingze, then smiled and said, "Yo, the young man is awake?"

Yu Qingze didn't know anyone, so he nodded with a smile and calmly looked at the strange dress of the middle-aged man.

But when Chang Hao saw this man, he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at the middle-aged man cautiously. His happy expression just cooled down, a look of boredom flashed in his eyes, and he frowned and shouted: "Uncle, why did you come?"

The middle-aged man responded and asked, "Is your brother at home? Le Ge'er, Le Ge'er…" After speaking, without waiting for Chang Hao to answer, the middle-aged man walked to the kitchen on his own. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

Seeing this, Chang Hao dropped the drying rake in his hand, quickly rushed to the middle-aged man, blocked his hands, and shouted loudly, "My brother is not at home, I was just going to cut hogweed! Uncle, go back quickly!"

"Why do you talk like that, kid? I have something to say to your Brother Le, don't get in my way."

"I said my brother wasn't here! He won't marry that old widower in his fifties or sixties! He already said that!"

"…"

Yu Qingze: "…" Marry? what's the situation?

Yu Qingze likes men by nature. Hearing Chang Hao say 'marry a man', he thought that the folk customs of this dynasty were open and manly style was popular.

In Yu Qingze's opinion, Chang Le is still so young and handsome, even if he wants to get married, he won't want to marry an old widower in his fifties or sixties. But looking at Chang Hao's reaction, there must be a lot of secrets that are not known to outsiders. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

"Hey, what do you even know, you kid, don't block me, go away, don't get involved with the adult's business! Brother Le, come out quickly, I know you're at home…" The middle-aged man scolded Chang Hao with a few sentences, and then shouted.

This kind of thing, this kind of scene, Yu Qingze, an outsider, can't continue to watch. He stood up and was about to move back to the room, but over there, Chang Hao, like a little leopard who was irritated, had already stretched out his hand and pushed the middle-aged man out, his expression as if he was about to open his mouth and bite someone in the next moment.

The middle-aged man was unprepared, he was pushed back two steps, he became irritable, and reached out and grabbed Chang Hao's small arm.

Yu Qingze was stunned, Chang Hao's reaction was too intense. Afraid that something might happen, he stopped, thinking that he should do something to help.

Chang Le heard the movement and hurried forward to pull his brother away.

Chang Hao still wanted to step forward to chase people, but Chang Le pressed his hand behind him, so he couldn't move but only show a pair of angry round eyes and stared at the middle-aged man fiercely.

"Oh, this boy Chang Hao is really getting older and ruder! Brother Le, you too, you have to take care of him and teach him well. He's so ill-mannered, how can you go on like this!" The middle-aged man said, straightening his clothes, he scoffed at the two brothers.

When his beloved younger brother was scolded, Chang Le became unhappy, his face sank, and he frowned at the middle-aged man. Even if he didn't ask, he knows what this person's here for.

The middle-aged man saw that Chang Le's face was not very happy, so he laughed 'haha', his expression changed immediately, and asked softly, "Brother Le, the one from Majia Village has invited someone to ask again, what do you think about it? Well, what's that look on your face?"

Chang Le shook his head numbly and waved his hand to indicate refusal.

When the middle-aged man saw it, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he hid his impatience again, and said with a sincere 'heavy heart': "Brother Le, it's not me talking about you, you also know your situation, you can't speak, your face is ruined, and the color of the pregnant mole is so dull, how can a young man's family agree to let you marry their son? Which man doesn't like to find a beautiful and able-bodied ger! Besides, you are twenty-two now, and you will soon be twenty-three. Getting older every year, it's not easy to find a man to propose you. Do you think someone like this person from Majia Village was that easy to come by?"

Chang Le thanks the reader for choosing hololo novels.

There was a brief moment of silence at the scene after the vulgar words were said.

Chang Le looked down at the ground quietly, and Chang Hao stood with red eyes.

Although those words were true, Chang Hao couldn't bear anyone saying that his brother was not good at all. In his heart, no ger was as good as his brother!

He jumped out from behind Chang Le, gritted his teeth and roared, "My brother is the best! Don't worry about him! Go, go! Get out!"

"Hey, little bastard, don't pull my clothes, I just finished making it a few days ago! Don't be ignorant, the man from Majia Village is a little older, but he has no children, and the family conditions are good, and he lives in a brick house. You can still get ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift! Seriously, he can live for a few more years. When he goes, aren't his assets all yours? You are stupid, where can you find these conditions? …"

"You go! Go!"

"…"

They started pulling and pushing again, but Yu Qingze was a little stunned.

This man's words are too ugly, and his thoughts are quite difficult to describe. Exposing people's scars directly in front of others and poking people's sore spots, not to mention that he, an outsider, was present the entire time, it really makes people upset.

In Yu Qingze's opinion, being unable to speak may be inconvenient, but it's not impossible to live; as for the appearance? It's not a big deal. For a man, even if you care about what you look like, ability and character are more important. What's more, although Chang Le's skin was a little tanned, he was very handsome and didn't…after a pause, he looked at Chang Le's heavy bangs…and was a little puzzled in his heart, but his focus soon shifted to what the middle-aged man said earlier.

In ancient times, it was common for people to get married young. Yu Qingze knew this, but what about moles and pregnancy? Also, why is it a man and a ger, instead of a man and a woman? According to the middle-aged man's words, Chang Le can still have children? Because that pregnant mole is dull in color, so it is not easy to give birth?

Can a man still have children?

Yu Qingze deeply felt that there might be one important thing in this world that he wasn't tracking.

Chang Le thanks the reader for choosing hololo novels.

The middle-aged man walked away cursing, and he could still be heard complaining about the lack of vision and ignorance of the Chang brothers from afar.

The brothers stood silent for a while. Later, Chang Le patted Chang Hao on the shoulder and gave him a gesture, as if to comfort his younger brother.

Chang Hao looked up at his brother, hesitating to say anything, but the next moment he lowered his head and muttered: "Brother, I'm fine, I'll go to harvest the millet." After speaking, he took a few steps to pick up the rake and went to harvest the millet.

The middle-aged man is the mother of two gers and one son. His name is Wen Li. Since Chang Le was fifteen years old, Wen Li has been keen to introduce people to Chang Le, but every time, the people he introduced were crooked melons and cracked dates: either old widowers or people with bad conduct or physical defects. Really not good ones.

Chang Le refused every time. His younger brother is still young, and his grandfather's health is not very good, so he was really worried. Moreover, his physical condition is indeed a big obstacle. Chang Le knew in his heart. After a few years, he didn't think about his own marriage anymore. He just wanted to take good care of his grandfather and younger brother, so that the family could live a good life.

He thought simply, but Wen Li didn't understand it, and still searched for those crooked melons and cracked dates one after another.

At first, he thought that Wen Li was doing it for his own good, and was very grateful to him. Later, when he and his younger brother overheard Wen Li and his husband talking by chance, he realized that Wen Li had another purpose.

Chang Le looked at his younger brother, sighed lightly, and prepared to go back to the kitchen to continue cooking, but turned his head and met Yu Qingze's gaze.

Chang Le: …

Yu Qingze: …

This is really embarrassing; no one wants to let others see their own humiliating situation.

Chang Le was stunned for a moment, then turned his head down, and walked towards the kitchen. Yu Qingze also touched his nose and quickly looked away.

At this moment, the courtyard door was opened with a hoot, an old man hurried in with a backpack on his back, and asked, "Did Wen Li come again?!"

Hearing the old man's voice, Chang Le stopped and turned around. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

As soon as Chang Hao saw the old man, the tears he had been holding back all flowed down, he wiped his eyes fiercely, rushed over and hugged the old man's waist to complain: "Grandpa, uncle just said that the old widower from Majia Village came again. He said that his family is rich, and he can even give ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. That man is so old. If he is so good, why isn't uncle letting his own son brother Yue marry him! I heard that the old widow can't even see well. Now, he's looking for someone to take care of him and serve him as a servant!"

When the old man heard this, he was very angry, but Wen Li was gone and couldn't hear him. He didn't want his two grandchildren to be sad again, so he hugged his grandson and comforted him: "Don't pay attention to him! Xiaole, you don't worry. With Grandpa here, he dares think about it!"

Chang Le smiled when he heard the words, nodded, and went into the kitchen.

Chang Hao heard his grandfather's promise, and he acted coquettishly and complained. His emotions gradually calmed down, and he secretly wiped away tears on his grandfather's clothes with embarrassment. So, he let go of his grandfather and ran over to continue collecting the millet.

After comforting the two grandsons, the old man looked at Yu Qingze who was standing at the door. Seeing that he was awake, he immediately greeted him, "Hey, young man, you are awake? How is your health?"

Yu Qingze felt a little embarrassed at first, but seeing the calm attitude of the old man, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine, thank you for taking care of me."

The old man took off the back basket, put it under the eaves, and waved his hands cheerfully: "No need for thanks, who can go out without encountering some small difficulties."

The life-saving grace was downplayed by the old man as a small difficulty encountered when he was away from home. Yu Qingze admired him a lot, but he couldn't help and expressed his gratitude very solemnly.

The old man waved his hand, and then bent down to look at Yu Qingze's left foot. After seeing the injury looked a lot better, he said casually: "Speaking of which, it is also your fate. We usually don't go into the mountains when it rains heavily 'cause the road is slippery. It just so happened that Xiaole didn't know it would rain that day and went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms, and then he found you."

After a pause, the old man asked again: "It was raining so hard, why did you run up the mountain?"

Yu Qingze knew that this was the old man asking him about his origin. Naturally, he couldn't tell his true origin, so he told what he had thought up before, that he was alone, his home was originally in the north, and it was not easy to live in the harsh environment of the north. Hearing that the south was prosperous, he came here and wanted to settle down, but as soon as he arrived here, his luggage was stolen, and he was penniless, so he wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some game and sell it for some silver. Who knew that he would be trapped on the mountain by the rainstorm and was accidentally buried.

Grandpa Chang heard this and was sighed. Knowing that he has nowhere to go now, he said enthusiastically, "You can rest here for now. After you heal your wounds, you can think about what to do next. You are still young, and the days to come are still long."

Chang Le thanks the reader for choosing hololo novels.

Yu Qingze nodded his head repeatedly.

When Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao finished collecting the millet, dinner was ready.

Chang Hao seemed very excited. After washing his hands, he couldn't wait to pull Yu Qingze to sit on the stool, then took the empty bowl on the table and ran to serve the meal.

Freshly harvested Rice!

Delicious!

"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. I've been thinking about this day since the millet started to mature!" Grandpa Chang looked at his grandson and said to Yu Qingze with a smile.

Yu Qingze also smiled and nodded.

It was grilled eggplant and fish for dinner. When Chang Le put the dishes on the table, Chang Hao had quickly filled four bowls with crystal like rice grains, the fragrance wafted out of the whole room, Chang Hao sniffed and swallowed.

But he can't eat yet.

Yu Qingze was still a little puzzled, he saw that Chang Le took another pair of tableware, grabbed a bowl of rice with vegetables on top, put it on the offering table, and poured some wine into a small cup and set it up. Chang Hao went to the kitchen and lit three sticks of incense. After worshiping his parents, he inserted it into the incense burner.

The two brothers tacitly finished the incense, and then returned to the dinner table.

Chang Hao looked at his grandfather with bright eyes.

Grandpa Chang announced with a smile, "It's time for dinner." Then, he picked up his chopsticks and put a big chopstick full of fish for Yu Qingze, and then put some for Chang Le and Chang Hao, and then he ate it by himself.

When Grandpa Chang moved his chopsticks, Chang Le and Chang Hao also picked up their bowls and started to eat.

The four people at the table eating a meal together, the atmosphere was very happy to be able to taste the new rice of this year and relish the joy of harvest.

Chang Le thanks the reader for choosing hololo novels.

Yu Qingze ate his first meal in this new world.

The rice is very fragrant, but the taste of the dishes… Well, it can only be said that it is very basic, not to mention the eggplant, which is just boiled in water, and the fishy smell that was not removed. With Yu Qingze's professional chef level, he knew for sure that there were no seasonings at the Chang family to remove the fishy smell.

It seems that he can take good care of their taste buds and stomach while he's recovering here. Yu Qingze secretly thought about the first thing he could do to repay the Chang family.

After dinner, Yu Qingze chatted with Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao, and he finally figured out his previous doubts.

In this world, there are no women, only men. Men are divided into men and gers, with the red mole between the eyebrows as the main distinguishing sign. Men are usually tall and burly, and although gers are also men, they are weaker than men in terms of body size and strength, but they have a special ability to give birth to children!

Chang Hao is a man, and his brother Chang Le is a ger.

Yu Qingze finally understood what the middle-aged man meant when he said Chang Le was getting older. If the role of a ger is equivalent to that of a woman on earth, according to the normal marriage age of 14-18 years old for ancient women, Chang Le is 22 years old and could be considered an old ger. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

But in Yu Qingze's view, 22 years old is the age of just graduating from college, so he thinks Chang Le is still young.

He felt the magic of this world. Especially for a gay man like him, this is really a friendly and beautiful world.

The author has something to say:

Yu Qingze: If you want to catch your wife, you must first grab his stomach! Hunting plan, begin!

Chang Hao: Come on, come on, spread the flowers~~

In the early morning the next day.

It was just dawn when Yu Qingze heard Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao, who were in the same room with him, woke up, so he also quickly got up.

"Did we wake you up? It's still early, go back to sleep." Seeing him getting up, Grandpa Chang hurriedly said.

The host was up, so Yu Qingze was too embarrassed to continue lying down.

He slept on the cot last night because he was really embarrassed to let the grandfather and grandson squeeze onto the small cot, which was only one bench wide. He didn't know how the grandfather and grandson squeezed in the two days when he was in a coma. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

He didn't sleep well last night. First, the environment was unfamiliar. When he first arrived in this world, his worldview was impacted, and his mind was filled with thoughts. He didn't know when he fell asleep. It was too hot, the bed net was not a gauze net, and the ventilation was not very good. A mosquito even entered, buzzing non-stop, and he didn't know where it was. It was very noisy and irritating.

It's midsummer now, and in this ancient era with no air conditioners and no fans, it's no wonder he couldn't sleep well.

He knew that Grandpa Chang and the others were going to cut grass in the fields, so he volunteered to help.

Grandpa Chang glanced at his feet and said, "No, heal the injury first. If you want to help, help Xiaohao to dry the millet together later." Afraid that Yu Qingze would feel uncomfortable, Grandpa Chang gave him a small task.

"…Okay." The work time in the morning was short, and he knew that his legs and feet were inconvenient. When he finally made it to the field, he estimated that Chang Le and the others would already be back. It wouldn't work, so he agreed.

Chang Le had already spread the straw mats for drying the millet and poured all the millet to be dried on them, one pile on each straw mat. He then went out with Grandpa Chang, carrying two huge buckets.

Yu Qingze found Chang Hao watching the fire in the kitchen, and a pot of porridge was cooking on the stovetop.

"Xiaohao, did your brother bring the big buckets to collect the millet? Isn't there a basket?" The wooden bucket was as big as the bucket his grandparents bathed him in when he was a child, and the net weight of the two solid wood buckets was estimated to be thirty catties, and then filled with millet, how heavy would it become?

Chang Hao yawned and brought a basin of water out and placed it by the stone at the door of the kitchen. He replied, "No, it's a barrel. When my brother comes back, he will carry the water with him."

"…Oh. That barrel is so big." How heavy! Yu Qingze sighed again.

"Well, it's specially made. You can fill the water tank with one pick. My brother thinks that ordinary water buckets are too small and takes too many trips to be filled, and it is troublesome to go back and forth."

Chang Hao thanks you for reading on ho lo lo novels.

Yu Qingze: …It's a very solid reason!

"Your brother is amazing!" Yu Qingze sincerely praised, such a thin body, but so strong!

Chang Hao was especially proud to introduce his brother's 'great achievements' to Yu Qingze, "Well, of course he is. Those men are not as good as my brother! My brother is the only one who can lift the tree that the three of them can't. He can handle anything!"

Yu Qingze: "…Really powerful!"

His brother was praised, so Chang Hao happily turned around and took out the cloth towel and willow stick from the kitchen, which Chang Le had prepared in advance.

"Brother Yu, you can actually sleep for a while, you don't have to wake up so early. My brother and grandpa will not come back for breakfast until the sun comes out." After speaking, Chang Hao picked up a willow twig and handed it to Yu Qingze, and took one for himself. The root was stuffed into his mouth, he took a few bites to peel off the skin, revealing the willow fibers inside, and then he brushed his teeth.

"It's okay, I usually get up early." Yu Qingze was worrying about how to brush his teeth, when he saw Chang Hao's actions, he was suddenly enlightened.

If he hadn't seen it, Yu Qingze really didn't know that he could brush his teeth like this in ancient times. He felt a little novel, imitating Chang Hao and brushing his teeth with willow sticks. Some willows have a fresh astringent herbal taste, which is not bad.

When he's done with hygiene, Yu Qingze asked Chang Hao to concentrate on watching the fire. He took the drying rake to open the millet on the four straw mats, and also used the grass rake to hang the grass clippings inside.

He did these things at his grandfather's house when he was a child, so he was familiar with it, just hang them carefully when they are a little dry. Finally, use the mill to blow the shells out, and left with full grains.

After drying the millet, Yu Qingze entered the kitchen. The porridge was already cooked and was being cooled in cold water. Chang Hao is cleaning the soaked dried radish.

"Is this what needs to be done in the morning?" Yu Qingze asked.

Chang Hao nodded, "Well, I'm not very good at cooking, and it's not delicious. I wash the grains first, and just boil them directly."

Yu Qingze said, "I'll cook."

Chang Hao's eyes lit up and looked at Yu Qingze sideways, "You can cook?"

Yu Qingze nodded, "Yes." Not only he can, he used to be a chef, so cooking is his profession.

Chang Hao was very happy and said, "Then Big Brother Yu, please do it, I'll set the fire, we can eat when Grandpa and brother come back."

The two hit it off.

Yu Qingze looked around and saw that the condiments in the kitchen were only oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Next to the cutting board were a few peppers, four cucumbers, and a sweet potato vine in the corner, all of which were still fresh and should have been brought back by Chang Le earlier this morning.

He was stunned. So early in the morning, the pig grass was cut, the vegetables were picked, the porridge was cooked on the fire, and the straw mat was spread with the millet.

What a diligent little guy. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

He asked Chang Hao for his opinion, and learned that they liked spicy food, and seeing that there is a jar of chopped peppers under the desk, Yu Qingze took two cucumbers and neatly shredded them and mixed with a little chopped pepper in it. Afterwards, he picked a handful of fresh sweet potato leaves, removed the leaves, and left only the stems.

Cold Cucumber Salad with Chopped Peppers

(credit: A Beautiful Plate)

Chang Hao watched him and made a cold cucumber salad in a short time, skillfully cutting the sweet potato stems into pieces, and chopping the dried radishes into a bowl; just looking at his knife skills was very convincing. However, Chang Hao looked at the sweet potato stem with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qingze asked when he found the expression on the young boy's face very intriguing.

Chang Hao wiped his face, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, you can continue."

Sweet potato stems are usually fed to pigs, and they will be boiled and eaten as a last resort only when there is a shortage of food. A while ago, they often ate sweet potato leaves, which was very bad, similar to pig food, but he didn't say it out for Yu Qingze to hear.

In fact, dried radish is not delicious. When there is no fresh vegetable in the vegetable garden, his family often eats it. Chang Hao was originally disgusted by the dried radish and sweet potato leaves, oh, and the loofah, which was soft, not chewy at all, and had a weak flavor. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

But he is very sensible, he feels that he has no qualifications to complain. He will eat whatever his brother does, and he is very easy to raise.

But soon, when the sweet potato stems were fried, he was speechless, and he was glad he didn't speak just now, otherwise his face would be swollen.

With the idea of giving Yu Qingze face, the little boy deliberately took a sweet potato stem and tried it. He was stunned and quickly took another large chopstick into his mouth in disbelief.

Stir-fried Sweet Potato Leaves

"Wow, Big Brother Yu! It's delicious!" Chang Hao's eyes were bright, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

Obviously, he watched Big Brother Yu cook the whole dish, he added oil, salt and a little chopped chili, but the fried taste was so good that there was no taste like pig food.

Super delicious!

Obviously, he used to hate eating those leaves and stems, but now he can't wait to swallow his tongue!

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "It's nothing, as long as you like it. Don't eat it all, save some for grandpa and your brother."

Working with limited ingredients, he couldn't show his extraordinary cooking skills at all.

"Alright, I'll just take one more bite." Chang Hao took another bite, and then put down his chopsticks reluctantly, and urged: "Brother Yu, your cooking is delicious, grandpa and my brother must like it too! Quick, let me try that dried radish you just made."

For the dried radish dish, Yu Qingze didn't need to chop the chili peppers. He just simply cut a green pepper and stir-fried them together. Chang Hao gave Yu Qingze a thumbs up after tasting it.

"It's better than what my brother made!"

Yu Qingze laughed: "Your brother would be sad to hear that."

Chang Hao glanced out nervously, saw no one, turned his index finger to his lips, shush, and said, "Don't tell my brother. In fact, my brother's cooking skills are pretty good, you don't know, the food my uncle Wen Li cooks is unpalatable, it has no taste at all, it's like pig food." He didn't hide his disgust at all.

Yu Qingze smiled. Taking this opportunity, he asked Chang Hao about their daily diet. He learned that most of the dishes in people's homes here are boiled or fried, very simple.

Yu Qingze's eyes lit up, this is very promising!

After only eating it once, Yu Qingze knew Chang Le's cooking level, and it's no wonder that Chang Hao reacted so much to these very simple home-cooked dishes.

Soon, the sun came out, and Chang Le and grandpa came back with a big bucket of water. They were pleasantly surprised to see the three bowls of dishes on the table.

Unsurprisingly, the two grandfather and grandchild warmly welcomed the delicious looking breakfast.

Porridge

"I didn't expect you to cook so well!" Grandpa Chang praised without hesitation, and went to add another bowl of porridge.

Yu Qingze replied with a smile: "I used to make it often, as long as it suits your tastes." His old job as a chef, he would starve to death if he couldn't even cook well.

At first, Chang Le was a little embarrassed to ask Yu Qingze, a guest, to cook, but after eating his dishes, the embarrassment turned into embarrassing.

A man's cooking skills are so much better than his own, who is a ger!

A fighting spirit took root silently in Chang Le's heart.

The result of good cooking skills is that the porridge is all gone, the vegetables are wiped out, and even the salty dried radish is cleaned out; everyone ate very well.

Chang Le looked at the empty pots and bowls, and his mood was very complicated. There used to be half of the porridge left in the morning, but now the pot was empty, and it used to take two days for them to finish a bowl of dried radish.

Even grandfather drank an extra bowl!

Looking at the expressions of his grandfather and younger brother, they look even more satisfied than eating newly harvested rice last night!

Chang Le was heartbroken. Although he was happy that his grandfather and brother had eaten delicious food, he was still a little sad, and once again realized his lack of cooking skills and the importance of good cooking skills!

In order to make grandpa and younger brother full and well-fed in the future, Chang Le decided he must work hard to improve his cooking skills!

So, when Yu Qingze cooks later, he found that Chang Le would often watch him secretly thinking he was decreet enough, but he didn't realize that his little actions had already been seen by Yu Qingze.

After breakfast, Chang Hao consciously went to wash the dishes, and Chang Le went to feed the pigs.

Grandpa Chang took out a cigar and sat down under the eaves to enjoy the after-meal smoking. He took out the herbs he dug up the mountain yesterday, picked up a few, washed them and shaken them dry, then squeeze them and throw them in the mortar, then he began pounding.

The herbal medicine was for Yu Qingze, he took the small mortar from Grandpa Chang and continued pounding the herbs while chatting.

When Grandpa Chang finished smoking his cigar, he helped Yu Qingze replaced the old medicinal herbs on his injury with new ones.

"Well, your leg is healing well, and it'll be fine in two days. Young man like you typically recover quick." Grandpa Chang checked his ankles and wrapped the new medicine.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Yu Qingze thanked the other and added, "I exercise often, and I rarely got sick before."

Yu Qingze also served as a soldier for two years before learning to become a chef; he fought in the army for two years. After being discharged from the army, he has maintained some habits he formed in the army. He gets up early every day to exercise, runs and punches twice, so his physical fitness is very good.

Grandpa Chang glanced at Yu Qingze in surprise. Country people don't go out for exercise. Every day they do farm work which is their exercise. However, he quickly smiled and said: "Exercise well! Ten thousand gold can't buy good health!"

Yu Qingze agreed and said sadly, "Yes, my grandfather was in poor health and suffered a lot in his later years."

Thinking of his grandfather, Yu Qingze felt a little down. His grandfather passed away when he was 16 years old. He died of heart disease and advanced lung cancer. When he left, he was bones and skins. It is precisely because of his grandfather that Yu Qingze paid special attention to exercising, and he was in good health until his unexpected death in his previous life. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

Hearing this, Grandpa Chang sighed and comforted him.

At this time, Chang Le already fed the pigs and chickens, and Chang Hao also finished washing the dishes.

Because the millet is needed to be dried for a while, several chickens in the family are locked in cages, clucking and clamoring to go out. Chang Le got a handful of sweet potato leaves and millet and threw them in, then he filled an empty bowl in the chicken coop with water.

The family set off to harvest the rice. Chang Hao was also following along this time, and Yu Qingze was only allowed to go with them after a protest.

It was also after seeing the harvest rice that he thought of a good way to make money!

The author has something to say:

Small Theater

Chang Le: If we continue to eat like this, we will not have enough rice at home. #worried

Yu Qingze: … Blame me (I'm so good at cooking).

Chang Hao: Brother, do you think I have gained some weight?

Chang Le: Really? It seems that the cheeks are a little rounder, which is great! Eat more later!

Yu Qingze: …

Chang family's house is in the east of the village, the paddy field is in the west of the village, and a small stream separates the paddy field from the village.

Chang Le walked in front with a threshing machine on his back, very manly!

It is said to be a threshing machine, but it is actually an open empty box made of several large wooden boards. Yu Qingze was a little curious about how they would thresh at that time. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

Grandpa Chang followed behind with a basket, which contained a jar of water and a sack. The basket was specially made oversized, which was prepared for Chang Le at first glance.

Yu Qingze couldn't walk fast due to his foot injury. He walked slowly behind with a wooden crutch, and the young boy Chang Hao accompanied him. Yu Qingze took the opportunity to observe the situation in the village. With Chang Hao present, he learned a lot more.

For example, the name Niutou Village is because the back mountain looks like a bull's head. Yu Qingze glanced sideways, it was indeed a bit similar. (T/N: 牛头, Niútóu, means bull's head.)

There are two surnames in the village, Yu and Chang. There are more than 30 households with the surname Yu, and most of them live near the stream. Over the years, the Yu family has long been familiar with swallowing the Chang family name by marrying their sons with gers with the surname Chang.

Most of the houses here are still thatched huts. There are only two mud-brick houses and a large blue-brick house, which is considered a wealthy household in the village.

Yu Qingze was a little curious, so he asked.

Chang Hao explained to him: "The big blue-brick house belongs to Yu Wei's house, and his father is Master Xiucai." When the young man spoke of Master Xiucai, his face was respectful and yearning. (T/N: xiucai = scholar)

Yu Qingze's mind moved and asked, "Xiaohao, do you want to go to school?"

Chang Hao didn't hide it, and replied: "there is a primary school in the village. Master Xiucai is a gentleman. People in the nearby village who want to study come here to learn. But I have to pay 200 coppers a month. Can't afford it."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze was silent for a while, then said, "If you want to read, I can teach you."

Chang Hao immediately turned his head to stare at him, and said in surprise, "You can read? you can teach me?!"

Yu Qingze nodded firmly: "Yes."

"Okay, I want to learn!" Cheng Hao smiled brightly, like a flower bloomed on his face.

After a while, he asked again: "Big Brother Yu, can my brother learn to read with you? My brother is very smart and has a good memory!"

There are basically no gers in the village who can go to school, and all those who go to school are men. For fear that Yu Qingze would not agree, Chang Hao praised his brother again.

"Absolutely." Yu Qingze laughed, these two brothers have a really good relationship, they think of each other for anything, very envious.

The two of them decided to start their lessons after they were done with harvesting in the next few days. Chang Hao was in a good mood, and he answered Yu Qingze's other questions cheerfully.

"The tile-roofed house belongs to the village chief. He does carpentry, and his son can also do carpentry. Some of the furniture needed by the nearby villages is basically made by his family. Our big wooden barrels are also made by him, my brother went to the mountains to chop up the best wood and brought them with him to village chief. The other tile house belongs to the hunter's house, and his family specializes in delivering game meat to the restaurants in the town…"

Yu Qingze caught a key point and asked: "Only the village chief and his son work carpentry? How about the rest of their family?"

Chang Hao replied: "The village chief is very good, and the eldest son of the village chief's family is also very good. For our pair of big wooden barrels, my brother sent a very large piece of wood, and the village chief even gave us an extra wooden bucket to wash the vegetables."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze thought of something and secretly made a plan.

The two of them passed through the village, and their eyes were suddenly brightened by the golden fields.

The yellow-colored rice grains seem to have covered the ground with a golden carpet. The breeze blows, and the rice stalks rise and fall in waves, rustling and singing the hymn of the harvest happily.

The yield is great this season, and the villagers are happily rushing to harvest the rice. Although the weather was hot, and people were sweating as soon as they went out as if they had just been soaked in hot water, the joy of the harvest completely destroyed the fatigue. Thinking of the harvested millet, there is endless energy.

By the time the two of them got to the field, Chang Le and Grandpa Chang had already cut the grass some distance away.

Chang Hao picked up the cutting knife and went to cut the grass. Yu Qingze couldn't squat down and cut grass like them because of his foot injury, but he could stand beside the threshing equipment and do threshing.

But the problem was that he didn't know how to operate this thing. He turned his head and looked at the other villagers not far away, but it seemed that everyone was mowing, and no one was threshing, and their threshing machines were also in front of him.

Only when Chang Le took a large bundle of rice and put it next to him, Yu Qingze could ask for the instructions. He saw Chang Le pick up a hand of paddy, and he raised his hands above his head and smashed it against the inner wall of the threshing machine.

~Crash~

"…" Yu Qingze heard the sound of millet falling off to the bottom of the box.

Afterwards, Chang Le shook his hands again, shaking off the loose grains in the rice stalks, and when they stopped falling, he lifted them up and smashed them hard!

This way, after smashing it four or five times, it is basically clean, and the remaining part can be removed by hand.

Yu Qingze: "…" No wonder it's called threshing, it couldn't be more appropriate!

It is really a rough handling method and very tiresome. This made him even more determined in his heart to make sure that they would not be so tired from harvesting in the future.

Finally, Yu Qingze learned how to thresh.

Chang Le was afraid that he would have inconvenience in his legs and feet, so he moved all the rice to the threshing machine for him very considerately, and then went on to cut the crops.

This field is quite big. In the morning, Chang Le and Grandpa Chang have already cut half of it. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

Chang Le cuts grass very fast, and his movements are very neat and skillful.

He squatted in front of the rice, with his feet slightly wider than his shoulders, cutting the knife with his right hand, holding the wort with his left hand, his body moved from right to left with the movements of his hands, and in a few seconds, he cut from right to left, and his left hand correspondingly shakes the rice stalks, and then arranges one hand neatly on the left, and then turns back to continue cutting.

After waiting for two hours, the whole field was cut, and Yu Qingze didn't even see him rest.

Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao would stand up and move around when their feet were numb, and take a break. Chang Le never stood up at all. After cutting one side, he turned around and cut the other side directly.

Yu Qingze has no doubt that if he were to cut it all by himself, the whole field would look like into a circle of mosquito coils, or a dragon.

Afterwards, they went back to the threshing machine to sit down and rest for a while, and Yu Qingze also rested with them.

It took more than two hours to thresh. Even if he was strong, his arms were sore and he was sweating profusely.

He also realized that cutting the grass might be a little easier, and threshing is more tiring. Especially in the midsummer when the scorching sun is in the sky, people would look like they took a salt water bath; can even produce your own salt. He especially misses modern harvesters. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

When he was a child, his grandfather's threshing machine was driven by a diesel engine. At that time, he was the only one in the village who didn't need to step on the threshing machine to thresh weeds. The villagers were always envious.

Now, not to mention harvesters and diesel threshing machines, even if there is a threshing machine that could be operated by stepping on with his feet, he would be very moved.

In his mind, he quickly recalled the structure of the threshing machine, as well as several commonly used agricultural tools and some other ancient simple and useful agricultural tools that he had seen when he visited the Agricultural Museum.

Although he was tired, the results of his efforts were also very gratifying. There was already a lot of discarded stalks behind him, and there was already a thick layer of millet at the bottom of the threshing machine.

"Wow, Big Brother Yu, you are amazing, you have beaten so much!" Chang Hao came over to see the millet in the threshing machine and exclaimed in surprise.

Grandpa Chang also praised: "Yes, he is a good help."

Chang Le hugged the water jar, poured a bowl of water for Grandpa first, then poured another bowl for Yu Qingze, and gave him a thumbs up as a compliment.

Yu Qingze felt embarrassed after being complimented by the family, his handsome face turned red, he waved his hand and said, "If you praise me again, I will float up and can even pluck the clouds in the sky."

His words made people laughed and the atmosphere was warm and happy.

After resting for a while, a few people started threshing.

It was almost noon, seeing that the time was right and the millet was almost enough for a bucket load, they stopped and prepared to go home to rest for lunch, and come back later in the afternoon.

The sun was scorching hot. After a busy morning of laborious job, people's clothes were soaked through and their hair was wet.

At this time, Chang Hao is very envious of Yu Qingze's short hair, not only was it easy to clean, but it was also super cool!

Grandpa Chang thinks you're quite a decent lad for reading on ho lo lo novels.

Regarding Yu Qingze's short hair, Chang Hao and the others had asked curiously before, and Yu Qingze made an excuse, saying that before he came to the south, he followed the horse team to the North to buy fur. There, he got lice and couldn't clean it up, so he shaved his hair off.

His excuse was well-founded, very reasonable.

So they believed it and comforted him, making Yu Qingze dumbfounded.

Because it was too hot, Yu Qingze discovered the secret behind Chang Le's thick and long bangs when Chang Le used a shawl to pick up the millet in the bucket.

His bangs wet with sweat stick together in strands, revealing a 4-5 cm long scar on his fair forehead, extending from the middle of his left eyebrow all the way up into his forehead. If you look closely, you'll see a gap in the middle of his left brow, but it's hidden by long eyebrow hair from the front, so it's not as noticeable.

Yu Qingze was stunned for a moment. There was a scar right above the eyes. He didn't know how it was injured, but he can imagine how dangerous it was when it happened.

The scar actually looks like it was from a long time ago, the color has faded, but it is slightly protruding. At first glance, the long line is creeping on the fair skin, and it looks a bit hideous.

No wonder Chang Le has such thick and long bangs.

It's no wonder that his uncle said that his appearance was ruined, but a part from this, Chang Le is really very good-looking. Healthy complexion, a delicate face, somewhat thick lips, and a pair of brilliant eyes are all very charming. His skin is also very good and the pores are not visible at all.

Yu Qingze felt a little regretful and felt sorry for Chang Le. This scar appears to have scared away a lot of marriage proposals.

Although he hasn't even been here for 24 hours, Chang Le has already left a good impression in his mind.

He is diligent, gentle, kind, loving, and even so polite with a stranger like him.

Such a good little brother should be happy.

Maybe Yu Qingze's eyes were too focused, Chang Le noticed it, he turned his head in surprise and looked at him. After seeing the surprise and pity in his eyes, Chang Le was stunned for a moment, then turned around quickly, hiding from Yu Qingze with his back, he reached out to comb the bangs on his forehead, and then quickly left with the bucket of millets.

Yu Qingze: … Did he embarrass Chang Le just now? Fortunately, Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao didn't find out.

It was also Chang Hao who accompanied Yu Qingze to walk back slowly. Grandpa Chang went back to cook first, and Chang Le picked millet bucket and went back to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. The division of labor was very clear.

Grandpa Chang thinks you're quite a decent lad for reading on ho lo lo novels.

When Yu Qingze and Chang Hao got home, Chang Le had already picked the beans, and the water spinach had been washed and ready to cook.

Yu Qingze saw it and quickly said: "Brother Le, you go rest, I will do it."

Chang Le was happy to see him, but he was a little embarrassed, for fear that his scar would scare the other.

In the past, many people would be frightened when they saw the scar on his forehead. Children of the same age always laughed at him and called him ugly, so he had long bangs to cover the scar. It has been ten years.

But Chang Le saw that Yu Qingze's demeanor didn't seem unusual, so he was a little relieved and glanced at him gratefully.

Then, he quickly gestured to answer Yu Qingze's words, and Chang Hao was there to translate.

Chang Le said that Yu Qingze is a guest, he already made breakfast, how could he still make lunch. Although his dishes are delicious, they are not in line with his family's hospitality.

Yu Qingze responded with a smile: "Cooking is my hobby, and that's what I do. I live here for free. If you don't let me do some work, I'm embarrassed to live any longer."

Chang Le wanted to refuse, but Yu Qingze brought out his killer move, "Look, Grandpa and Xiaohao also like to eat what I cooked, so let me do it, OK?"

Grandpa and his younger brother are Chang Le's weak points. Once it involves them, Chang Le will have nothing else to say. Who makes himself bad at cooking? After hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement, and went to start the fire silently.

Chang Hao saw that his brother was a little disappointed, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, I like eating your dishes!"

Hearing this, Chang Le patted his brother heavily on the shoulder. If you haven't eaten Yu Qingze's dishes until you looked like you wanted to lick the bowl this morning, I'd believe you.

Yu Qingze simply washed his face and hands, and then started cooking.

Although it is only the most common beans and water spinach and lacks other ingredients, the taste made by a professional chef is fundamentally different from that made by ordinary people.

If it is made by Chang Le, the beans will be boiled directly in water.

But Chef Yu stir-fried them. He used to cook beans like this when he didn't have ginger, garlic, Sichuan pepper, or dried chili, and when he had to consider saving electricity. Although it is not as flavorful as the authentic dried beans, but compared to the boiled beans, it is enough to distinguish the toad from the frog prince.

While burning the fire according to Yu Qingze's request, Chang Le raised his head and glanced at Yu Qingze's movements secretly, trying to note down the steps and the required heat.

The first step to improve your cooking skills, observe the teacher carefully!

Yu Qingze didn't realize that Chang Le was secretly studying him, and he cooked without distractions. It should be said that he is used to being watched by others while cooking. He has taught several apprentices before, and it is common for him to be watched while cooking.

He cooks quickly, and the food is on the table in no time. The Chang family of three complimented and ate all the dishes clean.

Tired from working all morning, after they finished eating and remained seated a while to cool off, Chang Hao opened the back door of the main room, dragged out two bamboo mats to the floor of the main room, and gave one to Yu Qingze for him to take a nap!

The sunlight in midsummer is too poisonous, especially at noon, so it is not suitable to go out to work. Everyone is also used to taking a nap, resting their bodies, and then going back to work after noon.

The three men spread out two bamboo mats and lay on the ground in the main room. The front and back were ventilated and the ground was very cool. Yu Qingze, who had not slept well at night and worked all morning, fell asleep shortly. When Chang Le went to the stream to wash his clothes and came back, he spread a straw mat on the kitchen floor; it was very cool near the water tank.

About a little after two in the afternoon, Chang Le got up and went to the fields with a basket.

Grandpa Chang also got up and went to chop pig grass and cook pig food. Chang Le did not let him go to the fields after noon, fearing that he would suffer from heat stroke, so he insisted that he could not go out until after the late hour (three in the afternoon). Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

Yu Qingze and Chang Hao overslept a bit. When the two of them went with Grandpa Chang to the field, they found that there was a large circle of people by the edge of the field, and Chang Le was surrounded by them. There was a lot of noises, as if something had happened.

Chang Le and Grandpa Chang looked at each other and rushed over.

Yu Qingze was stunned for a moment, he didn't care about the sprain and quickened his pace, stood on tiptoe a few steps and jumped a few steps back and forth, rushing past.

"Brother! Are you alright?" Chang Hao ran fast, rushing into the crowd like a small cannonball, standing in front of Chang Le, looking up nervously to observe his brother's expression, for fear that his brother was suffering and being wronged.

Chang Le was happy to see him here, his eyes brightened slightly, and he shook his head to show that he was fine.

Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the crowd, and finally frowned and asked a man in his early forties, "Uncle Village Chief, what happened?"

His brother can't speak, even if he is not at fault, he can't explain clearly, and others can't understand his gestures, so he will suffer.

Chang Hao had met the Village Chief a few times before, and now he was extremely nervous when he saw him surrounding his brother.

At this moment, Grandpa Chang also arrived, squeezed into the crowd, stood in front of the two grandsons, blocked them faintly, and asked the people around: "What happened? What are you doing all around my grandchild?"

Seeing the grandfather and grandson coming, someone said, "Hey, Chang Hao and his grandfather are here, we can figure it out." If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

Chang Hao's uncle, Wen Li, was also present. He still remembered how the two brothers Chang Le and Chang Hao treated him yesterday. Seeing that Chang Le was surrounded by people, he didn't plan to step forward to help. He folded his arms and watched the crowd from outside the circle.

At this time, seeing the old man and Chang Hao coming, he immediately pushed through the crowd into the middle, and said to the old man, "Dad, you have come. I don't know what Chang Le has done again."

Grandpa Chang glared at Wen Li and said coldly, "What can Xiaole do? You can't just wait for him to be in trouble."

Chang Hao also glanced at his uncle in disgust, then looked at the village chief.

The village chief coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Stop talking, everyone, be quiet!"

The village chief has spoken, and the villagers all fell silent and looked at him.

The village chief looked at the grandfather and grandson and said, "Uncle Chang, it's like this. When we came to the fields in the afternoon, we saw Brother Le holding a man from another village, pressing him down to the ground and not letting him go. You guys know, Brother Le can't speak, and we don't know the reason. The man kept scolding Brother Le, saying that he was being held down for no reason. We have been arguing back and forth, we were waiting for you to come and ask Brother Le what happened."

Chang Le was very introverted because of his health since he was a child, and he didn't communicate with the villagers often. That is, after the death of his parents, he had to carry the burden of the family, forcing himself to deal with outsiders, and gradually became more outgoing.

Grandpa Chang thinks you're quite a decent lad for reading on ho lo lo novels.

Although so many years have passed, no one in the village can understand his gestures except for his grandfather and younger brother. At this moment, the villagers also counted on the grandfather and grandson to translate.

When the village chief was talking, Yu Qingze finally approached, squeezed into the crowd, and stood beside Grandpa Chang.

Hearing the village chief's words, Chang Hao, Grandpa Chang, and Yu Qingze discovered that Chang Le was grabbing a man's wrist with one hand and holding the other so tightly that he couldn't move.

The man was dark and tall, but he had a pair of inverted triangular eyes, and the clothes in front of him were covered in mud. When he saw the mute's relatives coming over, he immediately said harsh words.

"I said it was this dumb man who was going crazy. I didn't do anything, I was just passing this way, and I was caught by him! My wrist is about to be snapped! Please let him let me go! Otherwise, I will deal with you directly. You are finished!"

That man was very tall, a head taller than Chang Le, and a big circle bigger in size, but he couldn't break free from Chang Le's hand.

Some villagers around said: "It's impossible for Brother Le to hold you for no reason. You must have done something to offend him!"

"Yes, Brother Le never causes trouble! Come on, what have you done!"

Someone next to him said angrily: "Don't be too eager to say, what if it's Brother Le who did something?"

Some villagers immediately retorted: "Huzi, you can't say that because your chickens pecked the vegetables grown by Brother Le's family and then got driven out. We can all see brother Le's character."

"What do you mean? Why are speaking like that? How can I be such a stingy person!"

"That we don't know."

"…"

Some villagers started quarreling, and the triangular-eyed man over there was stunned.

"What? Brother?" When the triangular-eyed man heard that it was a ger who caught him, he glared at Chang Le as if he had seen a ghost. Is a ger so strong?

Grandpa Chang thinks you're quite a decent lad for reading on ho lo lo novels.

Immediately, he rolled his eyes and scolded Chang Le: "You all see, a ger holding onto a man and won't let go, isn't it shameful? Ah! Hurry up and let me go!"

Chang Le glanced at him, his hands were silently exerting strength, and the onlookers heard the man shout, "Ouch, ouch, it's about to break, it's about to break".

Everyone laughed. Brother Le is born with divine power, and this man is so daring messing with him.

"Come on, say it! What dirty things did you do to offend Brother Le!"

The man screamed strangely: "What could I be doing? Which eye did you see what I was doing? You didn't even see it, you just opened your mouth and sprayed shit!"

The villager was also violent. When he was scolded, he rushed up and wanted to kick the triangular-eyed man, but the man next to him quickly stopped him.

"Okay, don't make any noise for now!" The village chief roared and became quiet. The village chief looked at Chang Le and said, "Brother Le, tell me what's going on."

A circle of people watched Chang Le, waiting for him to tell the story.

Chang Le glanced at his right hand. If he wanted to say something clearly, he had to gesture with both hands, but he was afraid that if he let go of his hand, the person would run away and someone would grab him.

"I'll hold on to him, you tell Xiaohao." Yu Qingze walked to Chang Le, grabbed the man's hand with one hand, and said to Chang Le.

Chang Le glanced at Yu Qingze suspiciously.

Yu Qingze laughed, he was underestimated by Chang Le. So, he handed the wooden crutch to Chang Hao to help him hold it, grabbed the man's other wrist, clasped the man's hand behind his back, and easily got the man to his knees.

The man let out an ouch, his body involuntarily knelt down, and wanted to stand up, but his shoulders were pressed and his wrists were tightly clasped, he couldn't stand up whatsoever.

"What are you doing! I haven't done anything, and there is no law here!" the man shouted.

"Be honest!" Yu Qingze raised his injured leg and pressed his knee against the man's back, holding the man down firmly.

"Good skills!" The villagers cheered when they saw Yu Qingze's skillful moves.

Chang Le also stared at it with wide eyes, with an incredulous look on his face. He just used brute force to restrain this man, but Yu Qingze just pulled and pressed, and he easily got it done!

Awesome! Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

"Wow! Big Brother Yu, you even know kung fu!" Chang Hao looked at Yu Qingze with admiration in his eyes!

Not only is his cooking delicious, but he also knows kung fu! Big Brother Yu is amazing!

The thoughts of the two brothers are in sync; Chang Le was thinking the same too. He secretly admired Yu Qingze's two hands.

Seeing that the man was not moving, Yu Qingze raised his eyes and smiled at Chang Le, and said, "Brother Le, you can let go."

Chang Le blushed slightly, he was doubting others, and now…

He quickly let go of his hand, then turned his head and began to gesture at Chang Hao what happened.

Chang Hao looked at his brother's gesture, nodded from time to time, his face flashed with anger. Grandpa Chang also looked at the kneeling man with disgust.

The villagers couldn't understand Chang Le's gestures, but they could understand the expressions of the grandfather and grandson, and their faces suddenly became solemn. The expressions of Wen Li and that Huzi, who were originally hanging around to watch the fun, also changed.

This person must have done something bad.

After a while, Chang Le stopped. The villagers looked at Chang Hao.

Chang Hao turned his head, pointed at the man, and said to everyone, "The village chief, uncles and Amas, my brother said, this man was going to steal the cattle!"

(T/N: I will use ama in place of auntie/mother in this novel

What? Steal cows?

Cows are their most precious possession! There are 40 or 50 households in the whole village, adding up to only a total of 8 cattle. Except for the three large households, each of which has a cattle, several other households have joined together to buy cattle, and many households can't afford it! If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

For a farmer, ploughing the fields, pulling the mills and goods, all count on the cattle, and this man was going to steal the cattle!

The villagers were angered and glared at the man.

"Send him to the officials! Such a person should be jailed for the rest of his life!

"Yes! Send him to the government!"

Stealing cattle is a felony.

When the triangular-eyed man heard this, he became anxious and hurriedly denied it.

"Nonsense! I didn't steal a cow! I was, I was…" The man was in a hurry and couldn't find an excuse for a long time, and said, "I just saw a snake in the water and helped the cowherder to bring the cow bac! Yes, that's right, that's what happened!"

When everyone heard his stammering words and saw his guilty expression and eyes, they didn't need to ask again.

It is obvious he was going to steal the cattle.

With a solemn expression on his face, the village chief asked Chang Hao cautiously, "How did it happen? Explain it clearly."

Chang Hao replied: "My brother came early in the afternoon. When he just crossed the creek to the intersection, the man was pulling the rope of the buffalo in the pool, and the buffalo had already been brought ashore by him. If he hadn't seen my brother coming, he would have driven the cow away! When my brother saw that he didn't know him, he walked over. This man ran away when he saw my brother, and my brother chased him all the way here and caught him!" The village chief felt nervous when he heard the 'buffalo in the water pool' at the intersection. Isn't that his buffalo!

Chang Le thinks you're quite a cute person for reading on ho lo lo novels.

"Nonsense! I didn't steal cattle!" The triangular-eyed man never thought that the mute would be able to say this, and he never thought that the little brat would translate it right. But he must not admit this crime, otherwise the rest of his life will be over. He struggled desperately, trying to break free, he had to leave quickly.

"Be honest!" Although Yu Qingze's left foot was injured, it did not affect his skills. He pressed the man down again, "If you didn't steal, why run away! What's the panic! Are you guilty of being a thief?"

That is, if you didn't steal than why ran! The villagers were in full agreement.

Chang Hao snorted coldly, pointed towards the intersection, and said to the village chief, "Village chief uncle, what he wants to steal is your big water buffalo. Look, my brother's basket is still there."

Everyone looked over. In the pool next to the intersection, a cow was seen, and there was indeed a load of baskets on the side of the road. After it was freed, the cow retreated back into the pool to enjoy the coolness, with only one head exposed, soaking in a comfortable bath, without the slightest sense of danger that it was almost stolen.

Village chief confirmed that it was his own water buffalo, and he was also angry.

He glared at his third son, who couldn't even look after the bull, what's the use of asking him to keep an eye in the first place!

The third son knew that he was in trouble. He was initially hiding behind the crowd and now stared at by his father, his body shook. He's going to be beaten today.

The evidence is conclusive, and there are both personal and physical evidence. The village chief waved his hand, "Tie him up and send him to the government!"

Several men immediately found a rope and tied the cattle thief firmly. When he was about to be sent off to the government, Chang Le suddenly remembered that the cow thief was carrying a big bag before he tried to escape, so he pulled his brother's clothes and told him.

"Wait." Chang Hao stopped the village chief and the others, and said, "My brother said that the big sack over there belongs to this person."

A villager slipped over the bag by the pool, opened it, and found that half of the bag was cut off by a knife.

Chang Le thinks you're quite a cute person for reading on ho lo lo novels.

"Wow, this little thief, not only steals cattle, but also steals millet!"

A few villagers couldn't help but rushed up and kicked the cattle thief a few times. If they didn't kick, they would not be able to relieve their anger!

Among them is that Huzi. He was thinking of how he saw some of the rice stalks in his own field were cut off. It turned out to be this thief!

The cow thief shrank, thinking straight in his heart that he was really unlucky to meet a mute ger, who was awfully strong. He originally wanted to steal some millet, and he stole half a bag. When he saw the buffalo in the water pool and the cow herder falling asleep, he couldn't control his greed. Unexpectedly, he was caught.

The cow thief thought he could never recover in his life.

The village chief brought a few men to carry the cattle thief around to the government. Chang Le went with him as a witness, and Chang Hao also went with him as an interpreter.

Grandpa Chang was worried for the two grandsons and also wanted to go together, but Chang Le stopped him. It takes more than an hour to go back and forth to the county seat, and they still don't know how long the process would take. Grandpa is old, and Chang Le was reluctant to let him run around.

So, Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze stayed behind to thresh the millet. Without two laborers, the two did not finish the field, but there was only one plot to deal with tomorrow. Chang Le didn't go home, so the threshing machine was left in the field.

Chang brothers came back very late, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.

The family saved dinner for them, and Chang Hao told the story of their trip to the yamen while eating, his little face was very excited.

He entered the county government for the first time in his life, and it was even to punish the bad guy as a very important translator! Very proud.

Chang Le was eating, watching his brother helplessly, shaking his head and smiling.

According to Chang Hao, the cattle thief wanted to run away on the road, but was chased by the villagers a few steps and kicked down. Later, afraid that he would act up again, Chang Le personally held onto the prisoner directly to the county office.

When he got to court, the cow thief refused to admit his guilt and bluntly said that he was framed by the mute. After Chang Le made a gesture, Chang Hao translated it again, the county magistrate verified the testimony one by one, and gave the cattle thief a few beatings into speaking honestly.

Chang Le thinks you're quite a cute person for reading on ho lo lo novels.

"Grandpa, Big Brother Yu, you don't know, that cattle thief was really bad." Chang Hao paused and swallowed a mouthful of rice, stalling to intensify others' interest.

Yu Qingze asked cooperatively, "Why do you say so?"

Chang Hao then told them very kindly, "The cow thief turned out to be a habitual thief. This is not the first time for him. He has robbed all the villages in this area recently, and he took advantage of everyone's sleep at night time or while people napping at noon. Cutting people's rice stalks. According to his confession, he has already stolen seven or eight bales of millet! Before that, he was imprisoned for a year for stealing things."

Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze were both surprised that they had caught a habitual thief.

"That's right! The magistrate even praised my brother!" Chang Hao proudly raised his chest, as if he was the one who was praised.

Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze looked at him funny, Chang Le patted his brother angrily. Let you squeak!

Yu Qingze teased him: "Really, how did they praise?"

Chang Hao ignored his brother's slap, his face became solemn, his hands were flat on his lap, his face was serious in an instant, and he lowered his voice to imitate the magistrate: "Niutou Village Chang Le is very good at catching thieves. According to the law, he will be given monetary reward."

He imitated well and made people laugh. However, the county government actually rewarded the money! Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze were quite surprised.

Over there, Chang Le put down the tableware, took out a cloth bag from his pocket, put it on the table, opened it, and the copper coins were seen inside.

The amount can easily cover the expenses of ordinary farmers for half a year.

Waiting for everyone to appreciate and have fun, Chang Le wrapped the money and handed it to Grandpa Chang.

Grandpa Chang waved his hand and let Chang Le put it away with a smile.

Chang Hao finished talking, and said to Grandpa Chang, "Grandpa, the village chief said that we can use his cattle in the future, so I will go to his house and borrow it later." Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

Grandpa Chang smiled and said, "That's fine, we can plow the fields faster in the future."

Chang Le caught the thief, got praise, and got bonuses, everyone was very happy.

Yu Qingze looked at the wooden board in his hand and thought his plan had to be sped up.

"Big Brother Yu." After eating, Chang Hao wiped his mouth and stood in front of Yu Qingze, looking at him with bright eyes.

Yu Qingze asked, "You need something?"

Chang Hao nodded, and hesitated when he was about to speak.

Yo, this is really rare, and the young boy who always speaks his mind still hesitates. Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows: "Say, what's the matter?"

"It's just … that…" Chang Hao blushed and felt that he was a bit cheeky, but he couldn't resist the strong desire in his heart, and finally asked, "Brother Yu, are you good at kung fu? Can you teach me? " If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

It turned out to be this. Yu Qingze looked at Chang Hao's small body, maybe he could grow taller with exercise? He nodded and said, "Yes. But all I know is some basics to defend myself."

Chang Hao: "This is already amazing!"

Yu Qingze: "It's hard work."

Chang Hao: "I'm not afraid!"

Yu Qingze: "Alright then."

Chang Hao: "Awesome!"

Hearing Yu Qingze agreed, the little boy jumped up and down, excitedly, "When I finish learning, I can protect my brother and grandpa!"

Chang Le thinks you're quite a cute person for reading on ho lo lo novels.

Yu Qingze smiled, thinking to himself, your brother is actually not weak, ordinary people can't beat him. However, the reason behind Chang Hao's enthusiasm was beautiful, deserving of praise.

The two of them agreed to start lessons when they were done busy with harvesting.

"Big Brother Yu, what are you doing with that?" His wish was fulfilled, and Chang Hao began to wonder about the wooden board in Yu Qingze's hand. There were many lines drawn on it with unburned firewood, horizontally and vertically, looking like a shelf, and he didn't know what it was.

Yu Qingze smiled, imitating Chang Hao's mysterious appearance earlier, and replied, "Good stuff. You'll know what it is tomorrow."

"Ah? It's so mysterious." Chang Hao was even more curious, scratching his head and cheeks, he looked at those black lines intently, wondering what they were.

Yu Qingze nodded solemnly: "Yes, it's very mysterious."

Chang Hao was even more curious, but he couldn't ask, he was really suffocating.

In the evening, before the two Chang brothers came back, Yu Qingze took a shower. Yu Qingze's clothes were of Chang Le's father, and he took them off and washed them. The clothes and shoes he wore when he first transmigrated, Chang Le took them last night, washed them and folded them neatly, but those clothes were obviously too weird here, so he didn't wear them.

After the shower, he asked Grandpa Chang about the commonly used agricultural tools here, and learned that there are no other better rice threshing tools, and the rice grains are also removed with a shovel. This information made him confirm that the idea in his mind was feasible.

He wants to make rice beds, windmills, and threshing machines! He's going to revolutionize their tools! Make it easier for them to double grab!

"By the way, this is for you. This is your name. You can write it on the table with water first." Yu Qingze took a wooden board beside him, and wrote the word 'Chang Hao' on it with a firewood tip. He also wrote down the stroke order of the two characters 常浩.

There was no pen and paper, so he found a wooden board and a firewood tip instead.

Chang Hao's eyes lit up immediately, he quickly took it over, looked at the two words above, and asked excitedly, "Is this my name? Chang Hao?"

Chang Le thinks you're quite a cute person for reading on ho lo lo novels.

"Yes." Yu Qingze nodded, pointed at two words, and read them one by one: "Chang-hao. The stroke order is the following. You learn the word 'chang' first, and I will teach you to write it twice."

"Wait Big Brother Yu, wait for me to call my brother!" The little boy ran to the kitchen quickly, dragged his brother to the main room, and shouted, "Brother, hurry up, something good here!"

Chang Le was dragged away by his younger brother just after washing the dishes and wiping his hands. It was not until he arrived at the main room that Change Le found out Yu Qingze was going to teach them to read and write.

Chang Le was also very moved, so he stood behind his brother with curiosity, while blushing.

Yu Qingze taught the two of them how to recognize strokes with the oil lamp on the dining table, and showed them how to write the word 'chang' twice.

Grandpa Chang looked at them with a smile while weaving the mat.

This young man knows a lot.

When the two brothers understood, Yu Qingze let them practice by themselves, and he continued to work on his drawings.

Chang family bought a cow together with seven other families, and kept it in one of their yards. Each family took turns to herd and switch every month. After the grass withered in winter, each family had to provide hay to raise the cattle. The cow dung is used as the fertilizer reward for the family raising it for the past month. After all, regular management takes time and effort, and it's important to ensure the safety at night to avoid the cattle being stolen.

There is only one cow, which can be used when ploughing the land during regular seaons, but when it comes to spring ploughing and double harvesting season, everyone has to coordinate and share it.

The next day, it was finally Chang family's turn to use the cattle. Early in the morning, Chang Le went to plough the fields. It is only used in the morning; the cattle had to rest in the afternoon. They had two fields to plough, and the time was very tight.

Grandpa Chang went with a small wooden barrel. Chang Hao and Yu Qingze made breakfast and dried millet at home as usual. Breakfast was ready before Chang Le and Grandpa Chang came back. Yu Qingze and Chang Hao fed the pigs and chickens and did all the housework they could.

When it was time for breakfast, Chang Le still didn't come back, but Grandpa Chang brought back a lot of loaches and seven or eight eels, all of which were caught in the fields and ditches.

Chang Hao likes to eat loach and eel, mainly because it is meat!

"Wow, loach! And eel! Grandpa, when will it be eaten, do you want me to go outside and pick some vegetables and come back and let them spit mud?" He couldn't wait.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we finish ploughing the fields today. Go wash your hands and eat, and bring food to your brother after eating. You can see the cow." Grandpa Chang put the small wooden bucket in the kitchen, then washed his hands and prepared to eat.

Chang Le thinks you're quite a cute person for reading on ho lo lo novels.

Chang Hao squatted by the wooden barrel and watched for a while, then happily went to have breakfast.

After the three of them finished their meal, Chang Hao carried an empty basket to deliver the meal first. Chang Hao was actually ten years old, but he was very short and looked like a child of eight or nine years old. Grandpa Chang tied the ropes of the baskets short so that he would not have a hard time carrying.

Grandpa Chang picked up a load of plant ashes and wanted to spread them in the fields. Yu Qingze's left foot has healed a lot better, but he still can't use his strength, so he slowly walked into the field.

In the morning, Yu Qingze and Chang Hao were threshing the leftover millet from the field yesterday. After Grandpa Chang finished spreading the ash, he also came to thresh the millet.

During the break time, villagers came to ask about yesterday's events from time to time, mainly because they heard that Chang Le had been rewarded with money, but those who came to gossip were all fooled by Grandpa Chang.

Wen Li and his husband also came over, but before he could even say something, he was scolded by Grandpa Chang.

Yu Qingze also discovered that although Chang Hao was shy when he was at home, he was very low-key in the face of inquiries from the villagers and didn't say a word to show off.

Chang Le has been plowing and raking the fields, and finally completed two fields of about one acre in the morning. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

Chang family's three mu paddy fields are divided into five plots of different sizes. There are two plots that have not been cut.

There was still some time left after plucking the millet in the morning, so they tied up the grass one by one and picked up the fallen stalks. After the grass is dried a little in the evening, they are brought back, and the fields can be watered.

At noon, Yu Qingze didn't sleep and was perfecting the drawings.

The structure of the rice bed is relatively simple, and he draw it directly on the wooden board. However, the structure of the foot threshing machine and the windmill cart is a little more complicated. He had to draw a draft on the ground first to confirm the details, size and length of each part. Especially when stepping on a threshing machine, it is necessary to confirm the size of each gear, whether it can be engaged, the length and width of each board of the roller, etc., and then draw it on the board after it is confirmed.

This is a time-consuming job.

It happened that the Chang family would be planting the seeds in the afternoon. Yu Qingze's foot injury was not completely healed, so he couldn't help. He was left at home and concentrated on making his drawings. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

It took him an afternoon to finally get a rough outline of the structure. There are still some details left, which need to be discussed with the carpenters at that time. After all, they are the professionals.

After dinner, Yu Qingze asked Grandpa Chang to take him to the village chief's house. Last night, he had already briefly shared his thoughts with Grandpa Chang.

Seeing that he was done so quickly, Grandpa Chang agreed to take him there. Chang Hao was curious and followed behind to join in the fun.

But before they left the courtyard door, the village chief came to the door with a chicken and a fish.

Grandpa Chang said with a smile: "Yo, Gensheng, we were just now going to look for you, come in and sit." The village chief is called Yu Gensheng.

The group entered the main room, and the village chief shoved the things in his hand into Grandpa's hand and said, "I came back too late last night and didn't have time to thank Brother Le. I was also busy during the day, so I could only come here when I have time. These are from my sincere heart, I hope Uncle and Brother Le don't dislike it."

Grandpa Chang rejected it, waved his hand and said, "Hey, what is this for? We're all from the same village, and Xiaole just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Take these back, didn't Dajian's wife just give birth to a baby, take it back to make up for him! The three of us are in good health."

Dajian is the eldest son of the village chief. His wife just gave birth to a little son half a month ago, so he needs to replenish his body.

"Hey, Uncle, there are still some at home. If it wasn't for Brother Le yesterday, my water buffalo would be gone, so you have to accept it!"

Grandpa Chang continued to refuse, "Didn't you let us use your cattle? That's enough already."

Yu Qingze and Chang Hao were watching from the sidelines as they came and went. Chang Le heard that the village chief was coming, so he went and grabbed a bowl of water but still didn't have a good timing to give it to the other.

After a while, the village chief saw that Grandpa Chang didn't pick it up, so he simply put the chicken under the table and the fish directly on the dining table.

Chang Le finally could give the bowl of water.

The village chief sat on the bench, received the bowl, took a sip, and thanked Chang Le. Then he asked, "Uncle, what did you want to say to me?"

Grandpa Chang pointed at Yu Qingze and replied, "I didn't look for you, it was Ah Ze looking for you."

Yu Qingze quickly greeted the village chief: "Yes, the village chief, I have something to look for you. My name is Yu Qingze…" Thinking that the village chief probably didn't know himself, he introduced himself.

Chang Le thinks you're quite a cute person for reading on ho lo lo novels.

"Your surname is also Yu, then you are really related to our village." The village chief nodded with a smile, looked at him and asked curiously, "Why were you looking for me?"

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "I heard that your carpentry work is very good. I want to ask you to make me something. This is the pattern."

Yu Qingze handed over the wooden board with the picture of the rice bed.

The village chief took it over and looked at it for a while, then frowned and asked: "You… a shelf, it's not difficult to do, but what is this for?"

A square long shelf is drawn on the wooden board, and many horizontal bars are evenly connected in the middle of the shelf.

The village chief is very curious.

Yu Qingze replied, "This is a rice bed."

"Rice bed?" Everyone looked at Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze said: "Yes, rice bed, rice paddies. This is used for threshing millet."

When he said that it was used for threshing millet, even the two brothers gathered around and looked curiously at the wooden board in the hands of the village chief.

Yu Qingze continued to explain to them: "We are threshing the rice now by directly hitting the rice against the wall of the box, which is actually very labor-intensive and slow. When hitting this rice bed, we hit the rice on it. Look at this. The horizontal bar, which can be made of bamboo or thin wooden strips, is placed on the side, so that when the rice is hit upward, the grain will fall off faster. Moreover, our arms don't have to hit the bottom all the way. Quick and easy!"

Chang Le heard the words and immediately, his eyes lit up, this thing is good!

The village chief, however, thinks differently from them. He has been a carpenter for many years. With his keen intuition, he knows this thing can make money, and it's not difficult to make.

Yu Qingze carefully observed the village chief's expression, saw the light in his eyes, and knew that he realized the value of this thing, so he continued to add fire to him.

"Furthermore, this rice bed can be used directly in the threshing machine or directly on the flat ground, but the millet on the ground needs to be swept. When the farming is over, this rice bed can also be used for other purposes. It is also very convenient to dry things and hang things."

This is very exciting!

The village chief pondered for a while and said, "Little brother, I will make this for you, and I can also make one for you for free, but can you sell me the blueprint of this rice bed?"

Hearing this, the three Chang family members were taken aback. The village chief wants to buy this blueprint? They also immediately realized the commercial value of this thing, and it can definitely make a lot of money when it is made. If Yu Qingze sold the drawings to the village chief, wouldn't it be a loss? Should they remind him?

Chang Le thinks you're quite a cute person for reading on ho lo lo novels.

But before they finished their thought process, they heard Yu Qingze readily agree.

"Yes. How much can you pay?"

The village chief pondered for a while, and then gave a price that he could afford: "Twenty taels of silver, and you can't sell it to anyone else!"

Twenty taels of silver! The three Chang family stared at each other for a while. Well, that's a lot of money!

Yu Qingze raised the corner of his mouth and stretched out three fingers, "Thirty-two! I can draw you three more styles."

Thirty-two?!

Chang Hao and Chang Le have never seen so much money, their mouths are open enough to stuff eggs. Even Grandpa Chang took a deep breath!

The price of 32 taels exceeded the village chief's expectations, and he remained silent.

Yu Qingze saw it, stepped forward, took the wooden board from the village chief's hand, and said, "You can go back and think about it."

The wooden board in his hand was taken away, and the village chief seemed to see the silver of white flowers waving goodbye to him! His little heart trembled.

He stood up frowning, walked around in the main room, walked five full circles, sweated out, and finally made a decision with a grit of his teeth.

"It's a deal!"

Yu Qingze grinned and handed the wooden board back to the village chief.

Chang Le's family of three: … why do I have the feeling that the village chief has been tricked?

Holding the board, the village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I still have an unkind request, I hope the little brother can agree."

Yu Qingze: "The village chief, please speak."

The village chief paused for a moment, then said frankly: "To be honest, I bought this blueprint to make money. However, this season's harvest has not caught up. I hope that before the autumn harvest this year, you can keep it a secret until I sell it. Of course, I promise you your rice beds, I will do it together when the time comes, but I will only be able to give it to you during the autumn harvest."

The craftsmanship of this thing is not difficult, you can see how to do it at a glance, and others will be able to make it soon. This business is only the most novel at the beginning and profitable the most! This point, the village chief is very clear, that's why he made such a request.

Yu Qingze said simply: "No problem."

The village chief looked at the grandfather of the Chang family.

Grandpa Chang said: "Don't worry, we won't say a thing. This is your business with Ah Ze, and we know what's importance."

Chang Le and Chang Hao also nodded heavily. Thirty-two taels! You must keep your mouth shut! Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

The village chief thanked: "Thank you, Uncle."

Grandpa Chang waved his hand, "That's how it should be."

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Yu Qingze said to the village chief, "Village chief, I would like to discuss a business with you."

Do you still have more business? The village chief asked, "What business?"

Yu Qingze smiled mysteriously and replied, "A partnership."

Partnership?

The village chief was taken aback and asked, "You want to partner with me? What are we partnering for?" Haven't all the blueprints been sold to me?

Yu Qingze said with a smile: "I have some other drawings and I want to cooperate with you…"

"Wait!" Before Yu Qingze could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Grandpa Chang.

Several people turned their heads and looked at Grandpa Chang curiously. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

Who knew that Grandpa Chang said with a smile: "You guys continue to talk. Xiaole, Xiaohao, let's go to the kitchen." He took the lead and walked to the kitchen.

Chang Le and Chang Hao didn't ask his grandfather why. Although they were curious about Yu Qingze's drawings and business, they still followed their grandfather to the kitchen obediently. Chang Hao took a few steps, then ran back and took his literacy board. He already learned to write the word 'chang'. Now he's learning the word 'hao'.

Looking at Grandpa Chang's actions, Yu Qingze and the village chief knew that Grandpa Chang was making room for them and avoiding suspicion.

The two looked at each other, and the village chief said, "Little brother, otherwise, let's go to my house to talk? My old house is empty to discuss things. It just so happened that I can also give you the money to for the blueprint."

Yu Qingze nodded, "Okay."

The two went to the kitchen to talk to the grandfather and grandsons. Grandpa Chang said they could continue the conversation here, but the village chief said that he wanted his son to participate together, so Grandpa Chang did not insist any longer, and explained that the village chief would ask Da Jian (eldest son) to send Yu Qingze back.

The village head's house is not far away, but because Yu Qingze couldn't walk fast, it took them a quarter of an hour to get there.

The village chief has three sons, the eldest son and the second son are married, the eldest son has two children, and the second son's child is about half a year old. Ah Mei, the village chief's wife, is still alive, and the whole family lives together, and there is no separation.

It is precisely because of the large number of people that although the house has four bedrooms and one living room, it is still crowded. Therefore, the two village elders slept in the old house, and the main room of the old house was transformed into a wood workshop.

When Yu Qingze was at the door, he saw a young ger with a baby on his back feeding another two or three-year-old child.

The village chief took out a cloth bag from the house, and then took Yu Qingze through the main house to the old house at the back.

There are two oil lamps lit up in the old house, which are very bright. The three sons of the village chief are busy inside. Some finished products are placed in the back of the house, such as cabinets, tables, chairs, wooden barrels and wooden basins.

"Da Zhuang, you go out first, this brother and I have something to discuss." The village chief said to his third son as soon as he entered the house.

Da Zhuang is a 12- or 13-year-old boy. Yesterday, it was him herding the cow and almost got it stolen. He was beaten by his father at night.

While the village chief was cleaning up, Yu Qingze went to the finished product area to take a closer look. Although the styles of these items are very simple and traditional, he has to say that the craftsmanship passed down by the village chief's family is really good.

If it was just because of the village chief's personality that he wanted to cooperate with him to make some quick money, now, Yu Qingze has changed his mind. Maybe it is feasible to change to long-term cooperation. After all, his craftsmanship is really good.

The village chief closed the door, emptied the table in the middle, asked Yu Qingze to sit down, then called his two sons, and the four of them gathered around the table to start a meeting.

The village chief first introduced Yu Qingze to the eldest son Yu Dajian, and the second son Yu Dayong.

Then, the village chief took out a cloth bag, which contained thirty taels of silver: a large silver ingot, the rest were broken silver, and a lot of copper coins. He handed it to Yu Qingze and asked him to count it.

"I believe in the village chief." Yu Qingze said with a smile and didn't count it. He wrapped it up and put it aside.

Thirty taels of silver … he didn't even blink! The village chief sighed with emotion, and when he saw that Yu Qingze believed in himself so much, he felt pretty good.

In fact, it was because Yu Qingze didn't know how to count the thirty taels of silver!

If it were three silver ingots, it would be easy. He had also watched a lot of costume dramas, and about that size, one was about 12 taels of silver. Copper coins are also easy to calculate, one tael of silver is consistent money, that is, 1,000 copper coins.

The question is, how to count the pieces of silver of different sizes?! Is it half two, one two, two, or 2.5?

Since he didn't know, he simply didn't bother with it.

Dajian and Dayong sitting at the same table watched thirty taels of silver were given out just like that, not knowing what happened. The two looked at each other, and Dajian, as the eldest brother, asked aloud, "Dad, this is?"

The village chief took out the plank of the rice bed and handed it to the two of them, "Dajian, Dayong, look at this, this is called a rice bed, it was invented by A Ze, I thought it would make money, so I bought it for 32 taels."

Thirty-two taels to buy a picture? Dajian and Dayong took it over curiously and looked at it, while the village chief explained to them both.

Dajian was smarter and bolder. He quickly sees the business opportunities and prospects here, and agrees with his father's decision.

Dayong is more cautious, but his father has already agreed with others, and there is nothing he can do, not to mention both his father and his brother have agreed.

After explaining the situation, the village chief brought up the matter that Yu Qingze wanted to do business with them.

Dajian asked: "I don't know what business Big brother Yu is talking about?"

Yu Qingze is 28 years old, 6 years older than Dajian. Big Brother Yu is appropriate.

Yu Qingze replied: "A threshing machine that saves more labor and time than a rice bed."

The three men in the village chief's family were all stunned. Immediately reacted and got a little angry.

Since there is a threshing machine that is more labor-saving and time-saving than a rice bed, then you still sell the rice bed to my family?! Are you kidding us?!

They need that thirty taels of silver! That's the money they were going to build the house with!

That's right, the village chief's family is a little tight with money as of now because of the large number of people living there, and the three children would get married in the next few years. By then, the grandchildren will also grow up, and they will not be able to live together. They have been saving money for the past few years and are planning to build another house, preferably two. When the time comes, each of the three sons will have a house so not to be biased.

The eyes of the three of them looking at Yu Qingze were a little wrong. Not to mention the two young people Dajian and Dayong, even the village chief who has seen many "big scenes" can't hold back his face.

Thirty-two is a lot for ordinary people.

Dayong said with a sullen face: "Brother Yu, let's call you big brother, you can't cheat us. Since there is a better one, who shall we sell this rice bed to?"

True! Dajian and the village chief nodded, both looking at Yu Qingze, waiting for him to explain.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not pit you, I still want to live in Niutou Village." Yu Qingze said indifferently.

Dajian heard some other meanings and asked, "What does Big Brother Yu mean?"

Yu Qingze didn't want to tease them anymore, and said, "The reason why the threshing machine was not sold to you is because the workmanship is complicated, and the first machine needs to be constantly tested. It is estimated that it will take at least two or three months to fully manufacture the first machine."

Chang Le said thank you for choosing hololonovels.

The three of the village chief's family heard that it would take so long, and they were a little curious about what the threshing machine would look like.

Yu Qingze continued: "Secondly, even if it is made, the sales are not expected to be very good."

Dajian thought about it for a while and asked, "Because the price is going to be too high?" The price would definitely not be low if the workmanship is complicated.

Yu Qingze nodded, "That's right. Unless a few families put together the money to buy them together, like buying cattle. Let's put it this way, if the rice beds are sold for one tael of silver, then the threshing machine can be sold for at least thirty-two taels per item. This is still a conservative estimate."

Thirty-two taels … for one!

The three of the village chief's family fell silent.

If it's worth at least 32 taels per item, although it makes a lot of money, few people can really afford it. Unlike the rice bed, if you grit your teeth, ordinary people can still take out the money.

And, most importantly, the rice beds are easy to make, and if you sell more, the profits will be considerable.

At this time, they finally believed that Yu Qingze really didn't cheat them. If the threshing machine is sold to them, and no one buys it when they make it, then the money is really going to be wasted.

Dajian suddenly asked, "Brother Yu, can you show us what that threshing machine looks like?"

Yu Qingze smiled, "When we reach a cooperation, I will naturally show it to you."

The three looked at each other for a while, and finally the village chief said: "Ah Ze, this, what kind of cooperation are you thinking?" He wants to listen to the cooperation method first, and then talk about the rest.

Yu Qingze said: "It's very simple, I will provide the drawings, you will provide the craftsmanship and the materials. I only need 30% of the profit."

The three of the village chief's family fell into contemplation.

This threshing machine is so expensive, even if it saves time and effort, it would take a while to even sell one with its price, and with rice beds on the market, it is estimated that ordinary farmers would rather work harder than buy the expensive threshing machine. But again, its prospects are indeed enticing; when everyone is prosperous, they will have higher purchasing power.

Chang Le said thank you for choosing hololonovels.

After a while, Dajian asked again: "Brother Yu, you said before, there are other tools?"

"Yes. There is also a tool for separating rice grains." Yu Qingze did not hide it from them, and said, "This tool is called a windmill. If you sell one or two taels for a rice bed, this thing can be sold for about ten taels of silver each."

The three village chiefs were dumbfounded, how did Yu Qingze come up with so many tools in his head.

Yu Qingze looked at the three of them and added: "The threshing machine and the windmill are more complicated and difficult to make, but as long as the first one is made, it will not be difficult. You can think about it, but I hope to make it even if no one buys it, it would be excellent to make it for home use." What Yu Qingze wanted most was to make one and give it to Chang family in return for saving his life.

Dajian looked at his father and second brother and said, "Father, I think it's feasible."

This means that Yu Qingze gave them a chance to make money, and in the early stage, they only need to invest in manpower and wood, and do not need to pay for drawings. The principal is not large. . Moreover, Dajian was very interested in the threshing machine and the windmill. Even if he can't sell them, he was very curious about what they looked like and wanted to tinker with them.

Dayong was much more cautious, "If we do this too, then we will not have time to do the rice bed."

This is also a problem. They have already paid out the money for the picture of the rice bed, so they must make the money back during the autumn harvest, otherwise after the season, other people must have already copied it.

Seeing the concerns of the three, Yu Qingze was not in a hurry. He asked, "Do you have a pen and paper at home? I will draw the other three styles of the rice bed for you."

Dajian brought a pen and paper. Yu Qingze drew three more rice beds with different shapes, and the three family members immediately understood what he said.

Look at people's brains, they are loaded with ideas.

After drawing and handing it over to the village chief, Yu Qingze stood up and said, "Village chief, it's too late today, so I'll leave first. You can think about it carefully. If we reach a cooperation, I still have many practical tool drawings for the future – the kind that ordinary people can afford."

Yu Qingze paused for a while, thinking of the young ger with children he just saw, and said: "For example, it can make it easier for adults to carry children, a stroller for a few months old baby or something."

"Baby stroller?" Dayong's eyes lit up. His son is half a year old, and he is very active. His wife takes a lot of energy to carry the child every day. He can only carry him on his back when he does farm work. If it can make his wife relax, then that'd be great.

Yu Qingze nodded, "It can make the parents a lot more relaxed, and travel is also very convenient. It should sell well."

The three Yu family men were very excited. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

The village chief nodded and said solemnly: "We will have a good discussion tonight, and we will give you an answer tomorrow."

Yu Qingze said: "That's fine."

After leisurely throwing down the bait, Yu Qingze returned home accompanied by Dajian. He believed that he would receive a satisfactory answer tomorrow.

Touching the thirty taels of silver in his hand, Yu Qingze thought, he has the start-up capital, and when his leg is completely healed, he will go to the town to look for business opportunities. It is time to consider developing his old business.

However, before that, there is still a very important thing to solve: the problem of food and accommodation in the future.

When he got home, Chang Hao couldn't stand the sleepiness after a long day and was napping. In the main room, Grandpa Chang was weaving mats, and Chang Le was mending clothes. The two were staying busy waiting for Yu Qingze.

Seeing he came back, Chang Le made a gesture and asked him if he wanted to take a bath now, he helped him bring the water to the bathroom. Grandpa Chang translated for Yu Qingze.

He shook his head, asked Grandpa Chang and Chang Le to sit down at the table, and then solemnly discussed with them, "Grandpa, Brother Le, I'm new here, fortunately, Brother Le saved me, and thank you all for your hospitality. I'm really grateful for your care. You know, I have no relatives here, and I don't have a place yet, so I want to discuss with you, no, actually it's a request. I want to ask you one thing." If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and both saw seriousness in Yu Qingze's eyes.

Grandpa Chang said: "You say it."

Yu Qingze said to the two seriously: "I want to live in the house for a while, I will pay the rent monthly, and I will move out when I have enough money and find a suitable place."

They didn't expect Yu Qingze to say this.

Grandpa Chang waved his hand and said, "You're already living here. It's just a matter of a bed. You don't need to pay rent."

Chang Le also nodded.

Yu Qingze naturally refused to live in vain, he said helplessly: "Grandpa, Brother Le, if you are like this, I won't feel at ease to live here."

Grandpa Chang glared, "What not at ease, didn't you teach Xiaole and Xiaohao to write? Didn't you say that you wanted to teach Xiaohao to learn kung fu? It's just an extra bed at home. If anything, it's us taking advantage of you."

Yu Qingze laughed, "In that case, it's Brother Le who saved my life, grandpa."

"That's not the same thing, you can't mix it up."

Yu Qingze is very persistent, and Grandpa Chang has a tougher attitude.

The two sides went back and forth for several rounds, but to no avail.

Chang Le watched the two of them fight, pursed his lips and smiled.

Seeing that the old man can't be convinced, Yu Qingze can only say: "Grandpa, I'm serious, I can't eat and live for nothing, I hope you can understand."

Grandpa Chang looked at him for a while, then sighed and said, "Then, just give however much you like."

Yu Qingze smiled and said again: "I don't know the rent here. Is one tael of silver a month enough?"

Both grandfather and grandson were shocked by his generosity.

Grandpa Chang said dryly: "Our family does not have the conditions of an inn."

Yu Qingze said: "I also included the food."

Grandpa Chang waved his hand, "Those things in the field are not worth a lot of money. Everyone grows them and sells them on the street."

Yu Qingze acted as if he didn't hear it and made a final decision, "Then it's settled, one tael of silver a month. I'll pay for three months first."

Yu Qingze asked the translator to thank you for reading on hololo novels.

Yu Qingze took out the cloth bag. He didn't know how many taels of silver coins were, so he simply took three copper coins and handed them to Grandpa Chang, "Grandpa, here it is for you."

Grandpa Chang reluctantly took it and handed it to Chang Le.

Yu Qingze could see that Chang Le was the one in charge of the money at home. So he said to Chang Le again: "Brother Le, can you please keep the money for me? I don't have a place to put it. After the double harvesting is over in a few days, I'll take it back. I want to go to the city to do some small business."

Chang Le is a little embarrassed, so much money, in case it is lost…

Chang Le looked at Grandpa Chang, who nodded and said, "Help him keep it."

Chang Le took the cloth bag and entered his room cautiously.

Grandpa Chang looked at Yu Qingze and asked, "So, you want to do business in town?"

Yu Qingze nodded: "I want to make some snacks to sell. I have to find a way to make a living."

Grandpa Chang frowned and said, "Didn't you lose your household registration certificate? You need it to do business in town."

Yu Qingze said with an "ah", "I forgot about this. Grandpa, if I want to get the household registration here, what do I need to do?"

Grandpa Chang frowned and thought for a while, then said, "There seems to be a special department in the yamen to take care of this. You can ask the village chief, he should know."

"Okay, I'll ask."

"You want to be a resident of our Niutou Village?"

"Yes, it's fine here, I'd like to be live in Niutou Village if I can."

"You have a good vision! Back then, a dozen households in our village saw that this place was very good, so they settled here. In a flash, more than ten years have passed."

Yu Qingze asked curiously, "I heard that you moved here during the war?"

Grandpa Chang nodded, took a sip of dry smoke, his eyes were a little reminiscing, "We were originally from Qingzhou on the north bank of the Qinghe River, which was severely damaged by the war, and people couldn't continue living there. I heard that the war in the south was not so serious, so we tried to find a way to cross the river together and came here."

The Great Sheng Dynasty was founded only after the wars of the previous dynasty ended. It was fifteen years after the founding of the country. Yu Qingze had heard of this.

"Yeah, it is the common people who suffer the most from the war." Yu Qingze had never experienced it, so he could only sigh with emotion.

Grandpa Chang exhaled a circle of smokes, sighed again, and said distressedly: "Xiao Le got his injury at that time, alas…"

Yu Qingze wanted to ask what really happened, but when he saw Chang Le coming out, he stopped in time, then went back to his room and took out his clothes, and said to Chang Le, "Brother Le, please bring me some water."

Chang Le nodded with a smile.

The next morning, Yu Qingze saw that Chang Le had picked up a large bucket of beans, and asked him when he was having breakfast.

Chang Le was worried that there were too many beans growing in the fields, and he didn't have time to sell them recently, so he picked them back for drying, otherwise they would all be overripe.

Yu Qingze asked them how they eat most of the beans here. He found out that they are usually boiled and eaten. If they can't eat it and sell it, it will be prepared into dried beans.

The beans in the dung pan are very tender. Yu Qingze thought about it and asked, "Brother Le, do you still have any empty jars at home? The kind with edges."

Chang Le nodded, looked at him curiously, and asked what he was going to do.

Yu Qingze said: "Pickled sour beans."

"Sour beans?" Chang Hao asked curiously, "Is it delicious?"

Yu Qingze asked the translator to thank you for reading on hololo novels.

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "It's very appetizing, very suitable for summer and winter."

"Is it better than dried beans?" Dried beans are often eaten in winter, and Chang Hao is a little disgusted by them.

Yu Qingze said with a smile: "It's a different taste, I'll pickle some for you to try. If you think it's delicious, we can pickle a jar and keep it to eat in the winter."

Hearing that it was delicious, Chang Hao was happy and raised his hands in approval: "Let's do it!"

Big Brother Yu said it was delicious, it must be super delicious! He now has a blind admiration for Yu Qingze, especially when it comes to food.

So after breakfast, Chang family of three went to plant the fields, and Yu Qingze made sour beans at home.

He washed the jar and let it dry naturally. Then select the fresh and tender beans, remove the head and tail, rinse and let dry, boil a small pot of boiling water and let it cool.

After all the preparations are completed, he directly poured some cold boiled water into the jar, put in the beans, all submerged in the water, add a little more salt, and you're done.

Yu Qingze thought for a while, and then put some green peppers in it. In fact, if there are radishes, sour radishes are also delicious, but it is summer, and Brother Le and the others have not planted summer radishes, but they can still pick some bitter gourds and soak them.

Finally, closed the lid, poured water on the edge of the jar to prevent the air from entering, put it in a cool place, and you can eat it after two or three days.

Since he had already made capers, Yu Qingze made a simple version of pickled cucumbers from the extra cucumbers.

At noon, Grandpa Chang said that he would cook the fish that the village chief sent yesterday. Yu Qingze remembered the first meal he had here, the taste of the smelly fish…

"Let them enjoy the deliciousness of the real fish dish." Yu Qingze muttered to himself.

There is no ginger at home. Only rice wine or a little vinegar can remove the fishy smell, but it is not enough. Yu Qingze was worried when he suddenly remembered that he had seen a small piece of perilla on the side of the road in the village.

When Yu Qingze was plucking some, he met the village chief.

"Ah Ze, what are you doing with this?" The village chief was curious. The smell of perilla is rather strange. The villagers regard it as a weed, and even cows don't like it very much. However, doctors sometimes use it as medicine.

Yu Qingze replied, "I don't have any ginger at home, so I picking some to substitute. Village chief, have you thought about what we discussed yesterday?"

"Yes. My sons and I discussed it yesterday, and we will do as you said." The village chief, Dajian, and Dayong discussed it until the early morning, and finally made a decision.

Another thing happened last night. The village chief's wife found that the family suddenly lost 30 taels of silver, and frantically looked for them, thinking that they had been robbed. Later, he learned that they bought a piece of wood with money, and he made a lot of noise for a while. The village chief and the sons spent a lot of time persuading, and finally they succeeded with much difficulty.

Yu Qingze said happily: "I knew you would agree."

The village chief smiled, and then asked again: "However, Ah Ze, I just want to discuss with you, can we start working on the threshing machine and the windmill projects later?"

Yu Qingze thought for a while, and probably knew what the village chief and the others were thinking. They just wanted to make rice beds with all their might before the autumn harvest. He asked, "How many people in your family can do carpentry?"

The village chief replied: "I, Dajian and Dayong are all good. My third son can only play around now, and my wife can also do some woodwork."

Yu Qingze asked the translator to thank you for reading on hololo novels.

Yu Qingze pretended to think hard for a while before he said: "Well, that's all right, the threshing machine and the windmill will not start until the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, After the autumn harvest, you arrange a person to study and make the threshing machine and the windmill with me. Everyone else can make other simple products."

Yu Qingze pursues long-term cooperation. Let the village chief and the others see the benefits first, and the cooperation will be smoother in the future. It can be done one by one. No one knows what he has in mind anyways.

Besides, he wanted to ask the village chief to help him with the household registration.

When the village chief heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "This arrangement is very good."

The two agreed to go to the village chief's house in the evening to discuss the terms of the cooperation contract.

When Yu Qingze got home, estimating the time, he first cooked the rice, set up the fire, and then began to prep the fish.

The village chief brought a silver carp, which was quite large, weighing between two to three pounds.

Using perilla instead of ginger, Yu Qingze prepared the fish head with chopped peppers according to the palette of the Chang family. He marinated the rest of the fish and put it in a bowl to braise it for dinner. Then, he made a loofah egg soup with green vegetables, which is a very hearty lunch.

The food was ready, and the Chang family of three also came back at this time.

As soon as Chang Hao entered the courtyard, he smelled the fragrance in the air; he rushed into the house and asked excitedly, "Brother Yu, you are cooking something delicious again?"

Chang Le's eyes also lit up, another new dish! And it's fish! It's a pity that he didn't see how to cook it, a little regretful. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

The greatest happiness of foodies is to meet a good cook!

And the greatest happiness of the culinary scum who aspires to be a good cook is undoubtedly meeting a great chef!

Chapter 9: The Culinary Tycoon

Apr 30 2022

Household Registration

There are three dishes on the dining table, chopped fish head with fresh red chopped peppers garnished with green shallots, sweet loofah egg soup, and green pumpkin sprouts.

Color, fragrance, taste, everything is on point.

After the four of them arrived at the dining table, Yu Qingze first introduced them the name of each dish: "This is fish head with chopped peppers."

Yu Qingze asked the translator to thank you for reading on hololo novels.

The three members of Chang Le's family looked at the plate of bright red fish head curiously, but their focus was not the same.

Fish head with fresh red chopped peppers

(credit: kitchennovel)

Grandpa Chang was thinking that the fish head could still be eaten, Chang Le was curious about how to cook it, and Chang Hao was thinking about already eating, let's eat, eat, eat!

"Grandpa." Chang Hao sighed and looked at his grandfather eagerly. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

Grandpa Chang smiled and said, "Let's eat."

Chang Hao cheered, and his chopsticks stretched out to the extra meat left under the fish head. With his food instinct, he also scooped the soup in the bowl.

"Wow! It's delicious!" After sighing, Chang Hao took a big mouthful of rice and swallowed it, and then said, "Grandpa, brother, try it!"

The three of them looked at him and shook their heads and laughed. In the past two days, Chang Hao's words have become a common language at the dinner table.

Grandpa Chang and Chang Le also tasted it and were surprised.

"Isn't it delicious? It doesn't have that fishy smell anymore. Hey, it's so spicy, but it's so good!" Chang Hao was so hot but his chopsticks didn't stop at all, and he finished half a bowl of rice in a short while. Oh my, there is no trace of that sticky fish smell in the dish.

It has an unusual flavor, a light fragrance, mixed with the taste of fish and pepper, everything is very unique. And the fish is still very tender, dipped in a little soup, it's full of flavor.

Chang Le is very curious, what is that smell? Is that the smell that hides the fishy smell?

Then, he found the purple leaves that had been boiled soft on the bottom of the plate. Isn't this the weed on the side of the road?

He picked up a piece with chopsticks and looked at it. Yes, these are the plants that can be used as medicine growing on the side of the road. Can this be eaten?

"Wah, what kind of leaf is this?" Chang Hao asked curiously.

Grandpa Chang recognized some herbs and said, "Isn't this the perilla that treats chills and colds?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "It's perilla. You can use this to remove the fishy smell when you make fish, shrimp, and meat."

I see! Chang Le looked at this small leaf with burning eyes, and was very happy that he had learned another little secret trick.

Yu Qingze gave them popular science again, "In addition to basil, wine, vinegar, ginger, onion and garlic as deodorizing ingredients, star anise, cinnamon, orange peel, etc. can also be used, especially for mutton, which is more stinky."

Chang Le listened with gusto, but his eating movements slowed down. Chang Hao kept his mouth shut, and in a short while he finished a bowl of rice, and reminded his brother, "Brother, hurry up and eat, I have already finished a bowl."

Chang Le was a little embarrassed, glared at his brother, and ate silently.

Yu Qingze blinked, it seems, Brother Le is very interested in cooking?

Lunch was swept away, and even the chopped pepper soup in the fish head dish was all wiped clean.

When making dinner, Yu Qingze paid more attention. After picking the vegetables, he went back to the kitchen to wash them and was ready to start frying. Then he saw Chang Le who was originally harvesting millet coming in, and sent Chang Hao, who was burning the fire in front of the stove, to harvest millet.

Yu Qingze: …Speaking of which, when he was cooking these two days, as long as Brother Le was at home, he would be the one to burn the fire?

Dinner tonight isbraised fish and simmered winter melon. Yu Qingze skillfully heated the oil pan and fry the ingredients, while observing Chang Le's movements.

He really made an interesting discovery.

Chang Le is secretly learning!

Looking at his careful observation, afraid of being discovered, pretending to look away for a while, and then unable to help but turning back, Yu Qingze was sure that he was stealing from the teacher.

If it was someone else, they might just look directly, and Yu Qingze is also used to the being stared at while cooking. But Chang Le, according to Yu Qingze's observations in the past few days, is actually quite shy and embarrassed to ask directly, so he can only learn secretly.

Yu Qingze thought it was very interesting and watched it silently for a while, smiling in his heart.

After appreciating the other's 'secret' actions enough, the winter melon was also already simmered in water, Yu Qingze said to Chang Le: "Brother Le, the fire can be simmering a little more now, simmer for ten…a little more than half an hour, the softened winter melon looks like it's almost ready when it's transparent."

Originally wanted to say ten minutes, but suddenly realized that there was no such thing as a minute in ancient times, and he changed the way he said the timing.

Chang Le nodded, added two firewoods, and suddenly realized that Yu Qingze just now…was teaching him how to cook?

It used to be like "Brother Le, please burn a bigger/smaller firewood", but Yu Qingze just said how long to cook the winter melon and how to tell when it's done.

Chang Le looked at Yu Qingze suspiciously, but happened to meet the other's smiling eyes.

Chang Le: …Could it be that his secret learning actions were discovered?

When Yu Qingze explained each step of the operation later, Chang Le's face became hot, thinking that he must have been discovered.

The next moment, Yu Qingze confirmed his idea.

Yu Qingze asked with a smile, "Brother Le is very interested in cooking?"

…It was discovered.

Yu Qingze asked the translator to thank you for reading on hololo novels.

Chang Le's face turned red, and he quickly closed his eyes, a little embarrassed, but nodded anyway.

I want to cook delicious meals for my grandfather and younger brother.

Then…

Then Yu Qingze gave him a surprise.

"Are you willing to learn from me?" Yu Qingze asked.

Chang Le's eyes lit up, wide open, and his lips parted slightly involuntarily, he was taken aback. But soon, he reacted, nodded hurriedly, and quickly made two gestures with both hands.

"Wait, Brother Le, I don't understand." Yu Qingze hurriedly called out the little translator Chang Hao to come in.

Chang Le's bright eyes dimmed for a moment, a little annoyed. It's all because of him, if he communicates with Yu Qingze in the future, he must have either his grandfather or Xiaohao by his side, otherwise, if the master does not understand him, it will be too inconvenient, and it will affect his future cooking lessons.

Chang Hao ran in and asked, "What's the matter? Let me try!"

"No." Yu Qingze laughed and said, "Tell me what your brother just said?"

"Oh." Chang Hao turned his head and asked his brother, "Brother, what did you just say?"

Chang Le made the gesture again, and Chang Hao translated it. It means that Chang Le is very willing to learn how to cook with Yu Qingze, and asks if it would be too much trouble for Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze shook his head and said with a smile, "No, don't worry." He has also brought several apprentices before, and he is a skilled craftsman, so there is no trouble.

Chang Le was delighted to hear it and said that he will study hard.

Yu Qingze asked the translator to thank you for reading on hololo novels.

Chang Hao asked his brother in surprise: "Brother, do you want to learn how to cook with Big Brother Yu?"

Changle nodded.

Chang Hao was very happy, "Great!" In the future, even if Brother Yu moves out, they can still eat the same delicious food!

Then he ran out and told his grandfather the good news.

Grandpa Chang's expression became complicated, he was happy, surprised, and hopeful. He let out a soft sigh.

This young man is very capable, and he has a good character!

Yu Qingze continued cooking and teaching Chang Le at the same time about cooking techniques, required heat, precautions, etc.

Chang Le listened very carefully, for fear that he missed something and if he doesn't remember, it would trouble Yu Qingze.

After dinner, Yu Qingze went to the village chief's house to discuss the contract.

The terms of cooperation were not complicated, and they were negotiated quickly. They also agreed to ask Master Xiucai to write the contract tomorrow, and then sign it.

After finishing this matter, Yu Qingze inquired about the household registration.

The village chief replied: "It has been fifteen years since the founding of the dynasty, and the management of naturalization is stricter than before. When the dynasty was first established, in order to appease the refugees, the imperial court directly distributed land for them to settle down, like the dozen or so households of the Chang family. It was easy then, but now, there are three ways to get naturalized."

Yu Qingze listened carefully.

The village chief said: "First option, you can buy land at the place of naturalization, it doesn't have to be much, just one mu of land is enough, and you can naturalize in that place; second option is to find a local to marry. However, because you are a man, then the household will have to give an extra portion of the land tax. There are also three other things."

The village chief paused and said: "The third option, if you want to do it quickly, you can buy it with money, and they won't care where you come from, you can enter wherever you want. Of course, it is civilian household registration and city registration. Just don't let others know."

Yu Qingze thought for a while and asked, "How much money do you need for the third option?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only heard that someone spent 80 taels."

"How about buying fields? How much money would I need for the fields in Niutou Village."

The village chief was surprised: "Do you want to settle in our village?"

Yu Qingze nodded. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

The village chief was a little surprised, but he replied quickly: "Our village is close to the county seat, and the land is fertile. The price set by the government is fifty taels for good farmland, and thirty taels for the lesser ones."

Yu Qingze: …

Three options, none of which can be done now.

He needs to make money … and quickly!

However, without a household registration, there will be hidden dangers when he wants to do business and make money. What if he's caught as a refugee?

He had to find another way.

Yu Qingze returned home with a frowning face. As soon as he got home, he saw Wen Li in the main room with a 13 or 14-year-old ger.

He was about to turn around and go to the kitchen to avoid them, but was seen by the sharp-eyed Wen Li.

"Yo, the young man is back? Where did you go out so late?" Wen Li greeted Yu Qingze with a warm smile and secretly inquired.

The little ger behind him stuck his head out, saw Yu Qingze, and hid back again.

Yu Qingze: …

"Hello!" Yu Qingze nodded and called out. He glanced at Chang Le and the others, and found that their faces were not very good.

"Hello, hello!" Wen Li waited for Yu Qingze to walk into the main room, approached him, and asked, "Where are you from, young man? How old are you this year? Are you married? What other relatives do you have at home? Why did you come to Niutou Village? now…"

The little ger beside him also secretly looked up at Yu Qingze. If you're not reading this on hololonovels, the ending will be missing.

Yu Qingze was dizzy by this series of questions, and quickly reached out to stop Wen Li, "I'm 28 this year, I live in the north, I lost my luggage on the way here, and now I have no money and don't know what to do to spend my days."

"Oh…that's it." Hearing Yu Qingze say that he is now penniless and also so old, Wen Li suddenly lost interest, and the smile on his face faded a lot.

Then, he turned around and said to Grandpa Chang and Chang Le: "Dad, Brother Le, you should think about it again. They are very satisfied with Brother Le, you can't find anyone better than this. Also, this is the gift that was brought over here today."

Wen Li took out a small wooden box from his arms and placed it on the table, opened it, and inside was a silver bracelet wrapped in velvet.

"Look, the pattern on this is so beautiful, it suits our brother Le. Brother Le, come here and try it on." Wen Li picked up the silver bracelet and pulled Chang Le's hand to put it on his hand.

Chang Le quickly broke free, took a step back, and gestured at Wen Li.

"Oh, you child, you are still shy, you always say no to marriage proposals…"

Grandpa Chang glared at Wen Li and said, "What marriage! Didn't Xiaole say that he would not agree! You just have to keep playing matchmaker. Believe it or not, I will break your legs!" After speaking, Grandpa Chang went to Look for a wooden stick in the corner.

Chang Le and Chang Hao didn't move, and Yu Qingze quickly stepped aside.

"Hey, Father, what are you doing? I'm also doing it for the good of Brother Le. He's so old, so he can't help but marry…Ahh, don't hit people, I'm leaving…"

Wen Li shouted and ran out, the little ger also ran after him, turning back to glance at Yu Qingze on the way.

"Wait!" Grandpa Chang shouted.

Wen Li thought that the old man had changed his mind and turned his head happily.

"Take this away!" Grandpa Chang pointed to the empty box on the table.

Grandpa Chang was happy that you're reading on hololonovels.

Wen Li hurried back and took the box away, muttering as he left, "Father, don't be so stubborn…"

Wen Li wanted to say more, Grandpa Chang raised the stick in his hand, and he hurriedly ran away.

When Wen Li and them left the courtyard, Chang Le stepped forward and took the stick from Grandpa Chang's hand and put it back in the corner.

Grandpa Chang sighed, turned to Yu Qingze and said, "I let you see a joke."

Yu Qingze shook his head, didn't answer; he didn't know what to say. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this is not something he can ask about or intervene in.

"By the way, have you asked the village chief about the household registration? What did he say?" asked Grandpa Chang.

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "It's not easy to handle. He said that if I buy one mu of land in the village, I can get naturalized. However, one mu of land costs fifty taels, so I have to make money first."

Grandpa Chang heard the words, sighed, and comforted him: "Take your time, there is always a way. If it doesn't work, just buy one from a remote location, where the fields are not so expensive."

Yu Qingze nodded, turned around and handed the two wooden boards in his hand to Chang Le and Chang Hao, which he asked the village chief to make with some leftover woods.

"What is this?" Chang Hao took the board and asked. The plank in his hand was about a foot wide and two feet long, with small wooden slats nailed around it.

Yu Qingze replied, "It's for you to write."

Hearing that it was for them, Chang Le and Chang Hao shifted their attentions instantly. They looked at the wooden board and were a little skeptical. They wouldn't be able to erase the writing on it. After writing a few words, it'd become useless.

How could Yu Qingze not know what they were thinking, he smiled and said, "I don't want you to write with firewood, but put sand or soil inside, and after writing with your finger, you can smooth it out and continue writing."

Yu Qingze added, "It's best to use fine sand, it's convenient and clean."

The two brothers suddenly realized. Chang Hao happily said to Chang Le: "Brother, we will go to the river to pack some sand and come back at noon tomorrow!"

There is a big river not far in front of the village, called Qinghe, which flows from west to east, all the way to the seaside, and is also an important river that divides Dasheng from north to south.

Chang Le's face was full of smiles, nodding and agreeing well.

Then when he woke up early the next morning, Chang Hao saw that there was already a pile of sand in the yard that was drying, and it was still wet, obviously his brother just brought it back.

When he came home at noon and the sand was dry, Chang Hao couldn't wait to take out two wooden plates, spread the sand inside, and then used his fingers to write his name stroke by stroke; he had learned it two days ago.

"Brother Yu, look, I can write my name!" Chang Hao brought the wooden plate in front of Yu Qingze who was picking vegetables and asked, "Do you think I wrote it right?"

"Let me take a look." Yu Qingze glanced at it, the words written by the young man were still a little loose, and the shape was not very good-looking, but it was indeed written correctly, so he extended his thumb and praised him, "Written well, it's great!"

In the past two days, when they have free time, the two brothers have been writing and drawing on the ground. Yu Qingze knows that they have learned it already.

Chang Hao raised his head happily and asked, "My brother can do it too. Can you teach us new characters tonight? Like my brother's name?"

Yu Qingze: "Yes."

After dinner, Chang Hao happily ran towards Yu Qingze with a wooden board and a firewood head. Yu Qingze picked up the pen, ummm, the firewood and was about to write, he suddenly thought that 'le' has traditional Chinese characters, unlike 'chang' and 'hao', where traditional and simplified characters are the same.

He couldn't take it anymore. After struggling for a second, he turned his head to look at Chang Hao's expectant eyes and asked, "Why don't we learn Grandpa's name first, and when I come back from work, I'll teach you your brother's name?"

Grandpa Chang was happy that you're reading on hololonovels.

Chang Hao thought about it for a while. Grandpa's name was also to be learned, so he said, "Okay. Then I can learn three words today!"

Grandpa Chang's name is 'Chang Dashan', which is a combination of simple and traditional, which is very suitable for teaching.

Yu Qingze happily wrote the word 'Dashan' and the stroke order on the wooden board.

"Grandpa's name has so few strokes?" Chang Hao was surprised, "Dashan", it's only six strokes together.

Yu Qingze smiled, "Yes, because these two characters are both pictographs, how do you usually gesture when something is big?"

"That's it." Chang Hao opened his arms and made a big movement.

Yu Qingze said: "Look, you straighten your arms and open your feet a little bit, doesn't it look like this 'big' character?"

Chang Hao opened his feet a bit, looked at his body, and looked at the word 'big' on the wooden board. He was shocked, "It's the same!"

At this time, Dajian came to call Yu Qingze.

"Write well, I'm going out." Yu Qingze patted the little boy's head with a smile and went out.

The village chief had invited Master Xiucai, who was drinking tea in the main room at this time. As for the Yu family members, the village chief told them to stay in the old house or the kitchen.

Yu Qingze, this is the first time he met the Master Xiucai, Yu Jiayao.

His appearance is thin, his complexion is much fairer than that of other villagers, but because of the recent busy farming, tiredness can be seen on his face clearly at a glance.

The village chief introduced the two of them.

Yu Qingze politely cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Master Xiucai."

Yu Xiucai nodded lightly and didn't say much.

The three sat down.

At this time, Master Xiucai set the tea from his hand to the side, then took out his four treasures of the study from the box beside him and placed them on the table one by one. "Tell me the specific content first, make it clear, and then I will write it out for you."

When the village chief went to invite him, he briefly explained the matter to Yu Xiucai. Therefore, the village chief mainly recounted, and Yu Qingze added on the side. Yu Xiucai asked from time to time. It took about an hour to write the cooperation contract in duplicate.

The two of them had no problem with the contents. They signed their names, pressed their fingerprints, and reached a cooperation.

After the completion of the signing, Yu Qingze embarrassedly asked Yu Xiucai to write him the word "happy", and also asked him to write a poem commonly used here for enlightenment education.

Yu Xiucai looked at him curiously.

Yu Qingze explained that it was to teach Chang Le and Chang Hao to read and write, but his level was limited and hoped that Master Xiucai would agree.

Hearing the words, Yu Xiucai thought of the figure outside the school who was always poking his head. He didn't ask any more questions, he picked up a pen and wrote a poem.

Yu Qingze picked it up and took a look. His face became 囧; he was surprised to see "The Song of the Goose".

It is indeed very suitable for enlightenment education. He just didn't know if the person who wrote this poem in this world is also called Luo Binwang.

(T/N: "The Song of the Goose" is a five-character ancient poem written by Luo Binwang, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, when he was seven years old.)

Grandpa Chang was happy that you're reading on hololonovels.

With a contract and a 'textbook', Yu Qingze returned home full of confidence.

The poem should be enough for now to teach the two brothers. He could also study the traditional characters too.

When he goes to the town later, he'll visit a bookstore to buy a book and come back to self-study. Traditional Chinese characters are not easy for Chef Yu who only knows the basics!

*The ideal is too full and the reality is too skinny.

*(T/N: beautiful imagination and hope for the future, but the reality is so cruel; the idea is very good but difficult to achieve.)

Traditional characters seem familiar when you look at them, but if you don't write them often, although your eyes will always recognize them, but your hands will not follow up.

Yu Qingze happily went home and taught the two brothers how to write Chang Le's name, and the three of them were very happy and satisfied.

After two more days, Yu Qingze's foot injury was healed, and he finally didn't need to use the 'third leg', although it was very light.

In the past two days, the remaining two fields of Changle's family have also been cleared, and the only thing left is to plant rice seeds. However, Grandpa Chang unfortunately fell ill at this time.

At first, he lost his appetite and always wanted to drink water. Later, he began to feel dizzy and nauseous, and his face became pale.

"Grandpa, why don't you eat some? These sour beans are really appetizing." At noon that day, Chang Hao asked when he saw that his grandfather had only drank half a bowl of porridge and stopped.

Yesterday at noon, Yu Qingze saw that the capers were ready to eat, so he fried a bowl and was very well received by the rest of the family.

Although Yu Qingze's dishes are delicious, the ghost weather in the midsummer is hot and humid. As they continue to work hard, their appetites have decreased. Just as the sour beans were pickled, this little snack raised their appetite again, except Grandpa Chang who has not recovered his appetite since this morning.

Chang Le put down the tableware and chopsticks worriedly, and asked his grandfather if he was uncomfortable.

"It's alright, it's just that the weather is too hot. I don't have any appetite, and the summer is bitter, didn't it happen in previous years, don't worry." Grandpa Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

Yu Qingze felt that Grandpa Chang's appearance was not quite right, it looked like he was suffering from heat stroke, so he asked Grandpa Chang to find out his symptoms and got a positive answer. Yu Qingze immediately said to Chang Le: "Grandpa's situation is not right. It seems that he is suffering from heat stroke. We need the doctor to come take a look."

Hearing this, Chang Le nodded, made a gesture, and asked Chang Hao to go.

"Hey, don't worry about it, I'm fine, you don't need to ask the doctor, Xiaohao, come back…"

Chang Hao ran fast on short legs and disappeared outside the courtyard gate in the blink of an eye.

Yu Qingze asked Chang Le to spread the mat and let Grandpa Chang lie down on the ground. He went to the kitchen to get a basin of cold water and came back, and let Chang Le use a damp cloth to wipe the sweat off of Grandpa Chang to cool him down.

Grandpa Chang was happy that you're reading on hololonovels.

Then, he returned to the kitchen and made a glass of salt water for Grandpa Chang to drink.

Grandpa Chang watched the two busy and comforted them that he was fine.

When the doctor came and checked the pulse, he said, "He's suffering from heat stroke. You guys are very good at dealing with it. I will prescribe medicine for him to take, and he needs to rest more. Uncle is getting old and it is so hot outside, so he can't go out to the fields to bask in the sun."

Chang Le nodded hurriedly; he wouldn't dare to let grandpa go out again.

The doctor wrote the prescription, and then asked: "Do you have mung beans at home? If there is some, you can take it with honeysuckle decoction to cool off the heat. "

Chang Le shook his head, and then said that he would go out to buy immediately.

When the doctor left, Chang Hao followed to get the medicine, and Chang Le set off to buy mung beans in town. When Chang Hao came back, Yu Qingze decocted medicine for Grandpa Chang at home and watched the patient.

It wasn't until the evening that Grandpa Chang felt better, and looked more energetic.

When Grandpa Chang fell asleep after taking the medicine, Chang Le thanked Yu Qingze very seriously. If Yu Qingze hadn't discovered in time that his grandfather wasn't right, he would not have known that his grandfather was sick.

For the next two days, Chang Le only let Grandpa Chang go to the fields in the morning and evening when the sun was not so strong. When the sun was getting high, he hurriedly drove Grandpa back home.

Grandpa Chang was both angry and amused, but he was reluctant to scold his good grandson, so he had no choice but to go home.

Fortunately, there were only two fields left for planting. With the help of Yu Qingze, the planting was successfully completed in two days.

"Finally it's done! I'm exhausted!" Chang Hao shouted up to the sky, calling out all the hard work he had accumulated during these days.

Yu Qingze and Chang Le couldn't help laughing when they saw him like that.

Really tired! Yu Qingze considers himself strong, but under this kind of intense work, he also feels exhausted. At least he had a chance to rest because of his foot injury, but Chang Le and the others were always busy, so it was no wonder Chang Hao made such a howl.

The next day, everyone slept well, allowing the tired body to relax and recover. Even Chang Le, who always got up early, was half an hour later than usual.

After breakfast, Yu Qingze said to Chang Le, "Brother Le, I want to go to the town tomorrow, can you take me there?"

Chang Le nodded and gestured that he would also go to town to sell vegetables tomorrow.

Yu Qingze said happily: "That's great." He has to take a good look at this county and investigate what business to do. Click "NEXT" at the bottom of the page for the actual ending.

"I'm going too." Chang Hao called out, and then asked his brother, "Brother, are you going fishing this afternoon?"

Chang Le nodded. Every time he went to sell vegetables, he would go to the river to catch some fish and sell them together.

Fishing? Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows; he thought it was very interesting.
