When Mrs. Liu heard the captain's words, she did not immediately agree. Instead, she said to the captain: "Captain, because my craft is passed down by others, I cannot teach this craft to others without that person's consent, so you Let me go back and ask the person who taught me my craft, if she says I can teach it to others, then I will take over the task."
After hearing what Liu said, the captain thought that the rain had not stopped yet and there was no way to harvest the rice, so he agreed to let Liu go back and ask.
When Liu returned home, she called Liu Ermei to her side. Then she told Liu Ermei what she had just said to the captain, hoping that Liu Ermei would help her come up with an idea.
"Mom, did you just say that Xiaoxiao told the captain that you knew how to make maltose?" Liu Ermei asked Mrs. Liu after listening to what she said.
"Yes, it was Xiaoxiao who told the captain that I could make maltose."
"Since it was Xiaoxiao who told the captain that you can make maltose, let's just ask Xiaoxiao if she wants to take over the task."
"Then let's go find Xiaoxiao now, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep because of this matter tonight."
"good."
When Lu Xiaoxiao finished dinner and was about to take the bowl to the kitchen to wash, she heard a knock on the door, so she had to put the bowl back on the kang table, and then went to the yard to open the door with an umbrella.
"Second sister, aunt, why are you here? Come in quickly." When Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door to the courtyard, she saw Ermei Liu and Mrs. Liu wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, so she immediately said to them.
Liu Ermei and Mrs. Liu immediately entered the courtyard after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words. Then they took off their raincoats and placed them under the eaves, and then entered the main room.
No wonder they were so fast, it was raining too hard.
"Second sister, aunt, please drink this bowl of ginger soup quickly to get rid of the cold." After Lu Xiaoxiao entered the main room, she went to the kitchen and filled two bowls of ginger soup, then handed it to Liu Ermei and Mrs. Liu, and asked them to Drink it quickly, because ginger soup is best if you drink it while it's hot.
After Liu Ermei and Mrs. Liu heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, they reached out to take the ginger soup that Lu Xiaoxiao handed them, and then drank it in small sips.
After Lu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Ermei finish the ginger soup, she asked Liu Ermei: "Er sister, what's the reason for you to come to me in the heavy rain?"
"Xiaoxiao, actually it's not me who has trouble with you, it's my mother who has trouble with you."
"Yes, yes, I have something to do with you." Ms. Liu quickly agreed after hearing what Liu Ermei said.
"Auntie, what do you want from me? Tell me."
When Mrs. Liu heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she repeated what the captain told her, and then she asked Lu Xiaoxiao to help her make an idea.
"Auntie, you can take on this task. It will be good for your family." Lu Xiaoxiao said after listening to Mrs. Liu's words.
The reason why she told the captain about Liu's ability to make maltose was to ask the captain to hand over the task of making maltose to Liu.
"Mom, listen to Xiaoxiao. Since she said she can take over the task, then you can take over the task."
"Okay, I'll go tell the captain in a moment that I've taken over the mission."
"Auntie, don't rush to tell the captain that you agreed to take over the mission. You need to let the captain come to you on his own initiative."
"Why?"
"Because of your family's homestead, my second sister told me that the captain does not agree to grant you the homestead that your family is interested in. Now you can use this matter to ask the captain to grant you the homestead."
