The new atmosphere of the New Year was all reflected in Xiaobao. Because it was a holiday, Chu Qing simply stayed at the Baolu Group.

Xiaobao follows Lao Yu's team early every morning, carrying weights for training. Xiaobao's weights are mainly thin steel plates on his legs. Others are bricks.

It was almost dawn and everyone was back. Chu Qing couldn't stay in bed even if he wanted to. Xiaobao went out too early, so Chu Qing had to get up with him every day. He only felt relieved when he saw that Xiaobao didn't secretly add steel plates.

When they were sleeping soundly in the coop, they came back again, and Chu Qing had to get up to change Xiaobao's clothes. It was such a winter day that she was sweating when she came back, and she could see the hot breath coming out even if she didn't take off her hat.

Xiaobao finally put on the tiger head hat. It was not made by Chu Qing, but by Zhang Erni. Zhang Erni was good at needlework, and the little tiger looked very impressive.

After breakfast, Xiaobao went to Zhuo Yao to practice kung fu. If Zhuo Yao was busy, let him do the horse steps, and Xiaobao would do the horse steps while endorsing the instructions.

Seeing Xiaobao's hard work, Chu Qing wanted to persuade him that the child would not grow up if he worked too hard! Think about it and forget it. Orphans and widowed mothers cannot survive without being strong.

Not to mention Xiaobao, Chu Qing would practice riding and shooting with Laoyu every day when he was not busy. Guandao was right next to him, let’s practice!

During this period, I practiced "subject two": obstacle jumping, rapid lane changes and mobile shooting. Among them, rapid lane changes became Chu Qing's difficulty.

This is to train the emergency response to other people's "overtaking" and "passing over". Horses are different from cars. When driving, if you are in danger, you should brake suddenly and step on it, whether it is light or heavy, and just step on it as far as you can.

The horse is different. Every time Chu Qing tenses up his legs and exerts force, the horse doesn't understand: When you exert force and make your legs unusually large, are you asking me to turn or speed up?

Xiaobao has made great progress. During the fight with Zhuo Yao in the morning, he actually punched Zhuo Yao, but Zhuo Yao didn't dodge! "Ah, yes, did you give way?" Xiaobao tilted his head and asked him.

"Not really!" Zhuo Yao replied sincerely, "I really didn't avoid it."

Xiaobao nodded: "Then I'll be careful next time and don't hit you in the face."

Zhuo Yao's nose was almost crooked with anger: "It's not too late to say this until you are as tall as me!"

You are a kid, you have a big heart! Just now you just hit Zhuo Yao on the side, it didn’t hurt much, now you start thinking about slapping him in the face!

Chu Qing's muscles were getting thicker. Fortunately, the clothes of the ancients were loose. Otherwise, if he had exposed his arms, he would have participated in the "Miss Bodybuilding" contest.

But it was Xiaobao. Chu Qing ordered Zhuo Yao to massage Xiaobao every day after he exercised to relax his muscles. He couldn't train the child's muscles and bones out of shape, as it would be difficult for him to find a girlfriend later.

In the past few days, Chu Qing had someone boil all the sheep tail oil in a big pot until it became thick.

Collect the soaked plant ash water and keep it cool, mix it with the boiled mutton oil, continue to heat over low heat, and stir constantly until most of the water in the pot has evaporated.

To be honest, this process is uncomfortable and the smell is too bad! The stuff in the pot is sticky and black. Add some salt before cooling.

This is how to make sheep oil soil soap. Chu Qing did it in his house in Zhoucheng. At that time, it was to clean the sheepskins returned by the second team. The effect was very good.

This time, Chu Qing wanted to treat sheep oil soap as another profitable business. Then there was the wool business.

The young men from the sales team who came back from the Spring Festival went back early on the second day of the second lunar month. They wanted to buy sheep and wool. It was for the wool that Chu Qing prepared the soil soap.

Because of the availability of soybean oil, no one valued sheep tail oil, so this time Baijiaxing did not lament that Chuqing was "burning money". The stingiest Zhuo Yao didn't say anything.

Because soap is a new thing, my "twenty veteran" doesn't trust others to make it, and insists on letting his own people do it. Of course, there is not much suet at the moment, so there is no rush.

The days passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. The group of less than 300 people who stayed in Xinlun Prefecture also came back.

The leader of the sixth team heard a group of people shouting from far away: "Boss, brothers! I want you to die!" The voices were hoarse and howling like ghosts and wolves.

Chu Qing was practicing his aiming with his luck, and almost lost his sight. The boys from the sixth team rushed forward and carried Xiaobao up first, and then ran to Chu Qing: "Boss, look, look, look!"

After finishing, a group of young men took out a small box from a big box, which was full of pearls.

"Boss, we caught these with our own hands. We picked out the big and round ones!" The boys from the sixth team held them as if they were offering treasures and said excitedly.

Chu Qing was a little bit more embarrassed. The faces of these boys all had no luster at all. They were all covered with peeling skin. In some places, they had new flesh growing on them. Their skin was black and white and pink. Their hair was also damaged by the sea water and turned yellow.

"Boss, look at this one. I caught this one! You can't even find the pink one on the market!"

"Boss, do you like it or not?"

The young men were tired from work and their lips were chapped and bleeding, but they still smiled and showed their little white teeth.

"I like it!" Chu Qing nodded heavily.

"Like it? Then praise us quickly and praise us hard! You can praise us for anything, we won't dislike it!"

"Yes, praise!"

"You... go and eat meat!" If Chu Qing didn't leave, tears would fall.

This year, I seem to be a lot more fragile.

The boys were really tired and had to go to bed without taking a shower after dinner.

Chu Qing grabbed a boy from Team 6 who was almost falling asleep while walking: "How do you usually fish for pearls?"

"Tie a rope around your waist and get into the water!" The young man cheered up.

"Can I get some ventilation?"

"If you're not angry enough, pull the rope and let me pull you up."

"What if the rope breaks?"

"...Boss, it's not that big. Don't worry, it'll be fine. This is what the locals do."

Chu Qing let him go.

This won't work, the pearls are important, and the lives of the young men are even more important.

Chu Qing went to Master Lu to make a pump and an oxygen tank. If there was no oxygen, he could use air. He also went to Zhang Erni to make a sheepskin diving suit.

I really don’t know how cold these guys will be under water. Cramping during diving can be fatal.

Master Lu took this task very seriously and took a very serious attitude. He read the drawings repeatedly and solved the connection problems, sealing problems, weight problems, and styling problems bit by bit.

The young men brought back a large box of the first batch of salt they dried according to Chu Qing's method. In their words: "If our family can make it, don't spend money on it!"

When the young men finally woke up, Chu Qing gave them wages, steel gourds, and pens. What others had, they couldn't leave behind.

He also led everyone to make Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao in the north is different from glutinous rice balls in the south. It is made by shaking.

The boys were so energetic that some of them spread their glutinous rice noodles all over their faces, making them look like human-shaped glutinous rice balls.

We have soybean oil at home. Now the phrase "we have oil at home" is also said by everyone with the momentum of "we have minerals at home".

Chu Qing took the lead and fried Yuanxiao in a big pot. It is not as good as glutinous rice balls when boiled, but it is very delicious when fried.

No one had ever eaten fried yuanxiao, and this novel way of eating it made the boys drool.

After frying, the boys skewered them with iron skewers and ate them like kebabs.

Xiaobao also followed suit, regardless of whether his belly would explode. He also held up the Yuanxiao skewers and touched them one by one, shouting: "I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

Although there was not another party, everyone shared the grand occasion of the thirtieth night with the newly returned people and even sang to them the songs that Chu Qing had sung.

The first song was not regarded as the group song of Baolu Group as Mr. Nie thought, but the second song was regarded as the group song.

Mr. Nie's good memory allowed Chu Qing to memorize the song immediately after he finished singing. He didn't bother to eat the dumplings afterwards. After copying the lyrics, he also wrote down the music. After that, he still didn't feel relieved, so he sang it to the veterans and asked them to

confirm.

In this little half month, everyone has learned it. At this moment, everyone is eating Yuanxiao and singing "Guanshan Wine". The boys in the sales team were so obsessed with listening that they forgot about the delicious food in their hands.
