Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 472 Can I Watch?

Since all the sugarcane had been cut down, the original sugarcane piles were left empty. The tail ends of the chopped sugarcane piles were all spread out together, dried and burned into ash.

After drying the skin of the sugarcane, a portion of it is placed in the cellar to be used as seeds for next year.

Three days later, Xu Yuan finally got the sugarcane bed sent by Chen Dafu.

"Girl Yuan, can I see how you did it?" When Chen Dafu came to the door, Gu Qinghan just happened to enter the yard carrying a load of hay.

Except for Gu Qinghan, the families in the village who were about to leave home had been running into the mountains and forests during this time, either hunting or collecting firewood.

These days, Gu Qinghan either carries firewood back home or goes to Xu Yuan's house. He always thinks about helping his family and Xu Yuan's family store the previous year's supply of firewood before he leaves.

Although Xu Yuan always told him not to do so, Gu Qinghan still did so.

It was a bit unexpected that Chen Dafu came to visit me at this time. It was even more unexpected when I saw the strange things that Chen Dafu brought.

He couldn't think of any other use for such a unique bench except that it couldn't be sat on.

Gu Qinghan nodded to Chen Dafu, carried the hay to the firewood shed, and then came to Xu Yuan.

Since the relationship between Gu Qinghan and Xu Yuan has been made public, it is not surprising that Chen Dafu can see Gu Qinghan at Xu Yuan's house.

Xu Yuan took the sugarcane bed from Chen Dafu and inspected it. After all, there were ready-made drawings for reference, so the error would not be too big. She asked Chen Dafu to make a moderate size one, which would not look out of place when placed in the yard. She first boiled it with hot water and then rinsed it several times.

You should still pay attention to the cleanliness of the food you put into your mouth.

Then he asked Xu Zhi to bring the peeled pieces of sugarcane and put them on the table in the yard. The three of them looked at Xu Yuan's action.

Xuyuan brought an empty basin and placed it in front of the hole of the stool. Then he lifted the stick on the stool and placed the cut sugarcane in a circular groove.

"Ayuan, let me do it. I know what you are going to do." Gu Qinghan suddenly understood what the tool in Xuyuan's hand was used for, and snatched the juicer from Xuyuan's hand.

Xu Yuan had no choice but to step aside and let Gu Qinghan take over. She was happy to have someone to help her.

Xu Zhi secretly sighed on the side, saying that Brother Gu was indeed smart, and he knew what the tool was used for even though his sister didn't tell him.

Gu Qinghan pressed hard on the piece of sugarcane placed in the groove.

The next moment, unexpectedly, a stream of water flowed out along the channel.

Xu Zhi and Chen Dafu looked surprised. Although Chen Dafu had heard Xu Yuan's description of the function in advance, it was only in his mind. Now that he saw it in reality, he was still shocked.

The juice just came out like this, and it didn't splash everywhere.

Since the sugarcane piece was not short, Gu Qinghan lifted the juicer with one hand and held the sugarcane with the other hand and pushed it into the groove.

Although it was his first time, Xu Yuan thought that he was quite skilled.

After Chen Dafu knew how to use this tool, he said goodbye with a happy face and went home. He had to rush home as soon as possible to get one for his own home.

"Uncle Chen, I need a small one." She felt it necessary to get one for her two children, so she stopped Chen Dafu who was about to leave and said.

"no problem."

Chen Dafu agreed happily. He was about to leave again, but was stopped by Gu Qinghan. He also needed one like this for his home. But when he heard Xu Yuan say there was a smaller one, he quickly said, "Uncle Chen, I want this one and the smaller one that Xu Yuan mentioned. How much do you charge?"

"Ah, this." Chen Dafu didn't expect to get a business so quickly. He looked at Xu Yuan hesitantly. He hadn't decided on the price yet.

"Why are you looking at me? It's not my job." Xu Yuan waved her hand. She was just waiting to get paid.

Chen Dafu pulled the corner of his mouth, retracted his gaze, and looked at Gu Qinghan, "The winner is 20 taels, and the loser is 15 taels."

"Okay." Gu Qinghan replied happily without bargaining.

After seeing Chen Dafu off, the peeled sugarcane pieces on the table were soon gone, and there was a pile of sugarcane residue on the ground. The empty basin under the hole was also filled with a lot of sugarcane juice.

"Ayuan, what are you going to do? It's not just to drink sugarcane juice."

Gu Qinghan didn't think that he made such a wish just to drink a sip of sugarcane juice. He remembered that the last time he made a wish, he said that the sugarcane could be made into sugar.

"Here, let me quench your thirst." Xu Yuan brought a bowl and used a wooden spoon to scoop a bowl of sugarcane juice for Gu Qinghan. People came all the way from the mountains to give you dry firewood, you can't just not let them drink a glass of water.

"Huh?" Gu Qinghan looked at Xu Yuan in confusion, and did not take the bowl from Xu Yuan's hand.

"It's not poisoned, it's drinkable, just drink it, drink it yourself." Xu Yuan glanced at Gu Qinghan and moved the bowl closer to Gu Qinghan.

Xu Zhi was very tactful and did not hinder the two of them. He took a bowl and scooped a small bowl of sugarcane juice for himself. He also put a small spoonful of sugarcane juice into Lai Fu's rice bowl who was looking at him eagerly, and then went into the room with the sugarcane juice.

Gu Qinghan had no choice but to take the bowl and take a sip. The sugarcane juice tasted very sweet, not too sweet.

"Ayuan, are you really here just to drink sugarcane juice?" Gu Qinghan said with some disbelief.

"you guess?"

"Ayuan is joking again. Do you want to make candy?" Gu Qinghan pinched Xuyuan's earlobe and said with a curved lip.

"Gu Qinghan, you have a really good memory. I told you this last time and you remembered it."

"Of course, I know everything Ayuan said."

"Ayuan, have a sip." Gu Qinghan just took a sip of the sugarcane juice and didn't continue drinking. He looked at Xu Yuan and asked.

"No, just drink."

"You don't like it?"

"Not really. I just finished chewing a small piece of sugarcane and can't eat any more." Xu Yuan shook his head and replied. The juice of the sugarcane was not like those in desserts that were greasy sweet. It was refreshing and slightly sweet, but it was a little tiring to chew.

"Then... Ayuan, can I watch how sugarcane juice is turned into sugar?"

Gu Qinghan's fingertips were circling around a strand of Xuyuan's hair and he asked tentatively.

"Don't you have anything else to do?"

"Not yet." Gu Qinghan sat closer to Xu Yuan and rested his head on Xu Yuan's shoulder.

"What? If I say you can't watch, you really won't watch?" Xu Yuan chuckled.

"Well, if you say no, I won't watch, but I can help. Ayuan, are you short of help here?"

Xu Yuan said without hesitation: "Of course there is a shortage."
