Chapter 190: Even if you get beaten, you have to get beaten twice

Seeing that the mill was about to be built, walnut oil had to be refined first before anything else could be made.

The two men returned home, first built a kiln to burn chalk rock, and then ran to Chen Fangping's house to refine oil.

When the oil is ready, you can prepare glycerin directly.

This time, this batch was still made using the water-based method. The mill was short on time and did not consider using equipment for the pressing method.

Chen Fangping's house was very well equipped, not only with a large stone mortar, but also a large pile of firewood, which was convenient for the two of them.

The two of them called Chang'an to follow them to move all the walnuts to the kitchen, and then moved a lot of firewood in.

The old lady ran over and asked the two if they needed help. They just asked them to be careful and not let anyone come over to peek.

After the fire was lit, the two of them pounded the walnuts non-stop and then put them into the pot to boil.

The advantage of this water substitution method is that there won’t be too much smell, so even if the two of them are busy in the kitchen, people outside don’t know what they are doing.

All I could see was smoke coming out of the chimney and a faint aroma.

This toothpaste is not like a toothbrush, this is really a core secret. Although it is only one of the links, if someone with ulterior motives figures out the trick.

So even though it was such a hot day, the two of them still closed the kitchen door. With Old Lady Chen and three other people guarding outside, they thought there should be no problem.

It was a very hot day and the stove was roaring with fire. It was really unpleasant. By the time half of the walnut oil was refined, the two of them felt like they had been fished out of the water.

When the last bit of oil came out, the two men couldn't bear it any longer, so they opened the door and ran out, breathing deeply.

It was a close call. I almost died of the heat in this hottest time of the year.

"I think you two are too cautious. With the three of us guarding you, you still keep the door tightly closed, and you're not afraid of heatstroke." The old lady ran over and fanned the two of them with her hands, muttering softly.

The two men were so hot that they were out of their minds and souls, and did not respond to the old lady's words.

It took me a long time to recover, but I couldn't refine the remaining oil. I decided to wait until the workers got off work before working overtime.

The sun is almost up, it's time to go back and cook, and also check on how the kiln is doing.

Even if Chen Fangyuan's family had ten or eight courageous people, they wouldn't dare to come in broad daylight, so the two men only told the old lady to be careful not to let anyone into the kitchen.

When they got home, they first took a look at the kiln to see how it was going. There was still some open fire inside, so they thought they could leave the kiln after dinner.

This time, the two of them did not ask Mr. Chen to watch over, but followed his previous steps and did it themselves. They did not keep watching the fire, but were a little worried about whether this thing would work.

However, it is mainly the high temperature that causes the chalk to decompose, so the problem should not be serious.

While I was making dinner, the children came back from school.

Seeing the two of them looking so embarrassed, the children thought they had fought with someone again.

After knowing it was hot, the children felt sorry for them and asked them to go and rest while they cooked.

At the same time, they felt a little guilty. The family was so busy, and their two mothers didn't let them help with anything in order to let them study peacefully.

So during the meal, Erhe took the lead in saying that he would not go to school tomorrow, and then the other children followed suit.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't understand why, and they thought that they couldn't concentrate on their studies and were told by the village chief that they were tired of studying.

After much persuasion, she finally realized that the children were just worried about the two of them being too tired.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had no idea that the children were thinking so much. If they had known, they would have changed the clothes.

This is not because they have to go at night. They think they will sweat anyway, so they don’t have to wash. This makes these kids worry.

"What are you talking about? Your aunt and I are not working so hard just because you go to school. We are doing this for ourselves. We want to be rich women. Even if we don't send you to school, we still have to do these things."

"But we can help you at home, so you don't have to work so hard." Erhe still didn't give up.

He had already thought about it. Since he was really not interested in studying anyway, he might as well come back and help his two mothers.

"If you want to help us, the best way is to study hard. When our business is on the right track, you can come and help us."

"What else can you know now? You haven't learned many words, and you can't even count. Are you here to help us get cheated? We are waiting for you to learn well and teach us. What will happen if you don't learn?"

"Then let the other brothers and sisters learn, I will be back."

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Erhe was hit on the head twice again.

Erhe looked at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin who had put their hands down with a look of grievance. He was really convinced. Why did he have to be beaten twice as much now?

"Don't say that. I've already said it before, Erhe, and you agreed to it yourself."

"Let's put it this way. We still have to refine the rest tonight. You guys can come along and help."

The two proposed a compromise plan. Since the children had such a heart, they were still touched.

Children have much more energy than them. No matter how busy they are today, they can be full of energy the next day after a good night’s sleep. There is nothing wrong with them wanting to help.

Moreover, Master Jiang and Jiang Shui lived in there, and it would be inappropriate for the two of them to be there so late at night, and if the children were there too, there would be nothing to say.

So after dinner, they left Dashu and Hui Niang at home to get the calcined chalk out and boil a pot of water so they could take a bath when they came back later. The others followed Mr. Jiang and Jiang Shui over there to prepare to refine the remaining walnuts.

The group was walking on the road when Jiang Shui suddenly coughed twice. Mr. Jiang understood what he meant and began to slow down his pace, pretending to be very weak.

"Oh, aunt, this is really strange. I have been dreaming about the old man's son the other day. He kept crying in my dreams. I am almost tortured to death."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin also realized that Chen Fangyuan's family was lurking nearby, so they had to put on a show to please them.

"Could it be true what Grandma Tian said, that there is something that wants to harm people? Mr. Jiang, why don't we move out?" Zheng Yuan's voice was trembling.

Duan Minmin endured it for a long time and finally didn't find it out, then she reached out and pinched Zheng Yuan.

Why do you act so realistically?

The children didn't know the inside story, and they shrank into a circle in fear when they heard this.

"Mom, is there a ghost?" Sizhu was about to cry.

"It's okay, it's just a dream, don't be afraid..."

Although Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin wanted to laugh, they still comforted the children softly.

It was just because he was trying to hold back his laughter that his voice trembled. From a distance, it sounded like he was extremely scared but trying to pretend to be calm.

Chen Fangyuan and Chen Feihong, who were eavesdropping from a distance, felt that victory was a sure thing when they heard this situation. They only needed to wait a few days to come and watch the fun, so the father and son turned around quietly and went back home.

Seeing the people walking away, Jiang Shui coughed a few times to tell them that they were going away.

As soon as the people left, the three of them laughed. The children didn't understand why. But looking at this situation, even the most insensitive ones knew that their mother and Mr. Jiang were acting.

But they didn't say anything and the children didn't ask. They just knew in their hearts that there was no ghost.

After fooling the two plague gods away, they didn't stop on the way and quickly went to the house to start refining oil.

With the help of the children, the speed increased a lot, and in less than an hour, all the remaining parts had been refined.

After locking the refined oil into the warehouse, the family returned home, took a thorough bath and then fell into a deep sleep.
