Chapter 126 was astonishing.



All three of them looked at Liu Shile with expressions that said, "Are you kidding me?" If Liu Shile hadn't been completely immune to these looks, she would have doubted whether she had really said something incredible.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. After a while, Liu Shihua broke the silence, saying with a wry smile, "Well, Lele, it's good to have ideas, but this is a bit unrealistic."

Putting everything else aside, he's still a student, attending classes six days a week and going back to his hometown for his one-day holiday. How could he possibly have time to do this job?

Besides, anyone with a bit of common sense knows how difficult it is to work at a grain depot, so he wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing.

Wang Guangjie and Wang Guangying didn't speak, but they nodded in agreement. In their view, it was really unrealistic to want to work at the county's grain station, especially as a part-time job.

If they really want to find a part-time job, they'll have to look elsewhere. Everything is still under construction, after all. Shihua is strong, so she should be able to find some manual labor.

For example, they could get up early to help others carry water or collect firewood in the nearby mountains. As for other jobs, sorry, they don't know how.

Although Wang Guangjie was quite smart, he didn't know much about the county town, so all he could think of were the things they usually did.

In some households in their town, where the number of family members is small but both husband and wife are working, they don't have time to do these chores, so they hire people to help carry water and buy firewood.

He thought that the same thing must happen in the county, but he wasn't sure if that was the case, so he hesitated about whether to bring it up.

Seeing their expressions of disbelief that she was being unrealistic, Liu Shile rolled her eyes and said directly, "How do we know it's impossible if we haven't even tried it?"

At this point, she looked at Liu Shihua and asked, "Second brother, did you see clearly how those uncles milled the rice? If you were to do it, could you do it well?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shihua subconsciously looked at the uncles milling rice in the dam area, then nodded. It was actually just physical labor; one could learn it by watching.

Of course, it might not be as simple as it looks in practice, so he shook his head and said, "I haven't actually done it, so it's hard to say."

"Lele, what are you trying to do? Don't be impulsive!"

As soon as Liu Shihua finished speaking, Liu Shile started walking towards the grain station, startling the three of them who rushed up to stop her from being too impulsive, but they were naturally a step too late.

Since Liu Shile had made up her mind, there was no reason for her to retreat without a fight. So she strode forward, a sweet smile on her face, and asked a woman who was in charge of the place.

The woman was somewhat surprised to see such a pretty girl asking her a question, but seeing the sweet smile on her face, she casually pointed to the middle-aged man sweating profusely and leading the rice milling in the rice mill.

"Look, the one leading the rice milling is our Station Chief Li." As she spoke, her hands didn't stop working, deftly grabbing a handful of millet.

Liu Shile clicked her tongue in amazement. This shows that we should not underestimate the wisdom of the working people. Although it is a manual operation, the efficiency is relatively high.

Well, it's not as good as those with superpowers who can accomplish things perfectly with a single thought, but for this era, it's not bad either.

Liu Shile found it a bit strange. She had seen a wooden windmill on an old-fashioned mobile phone. You could put grain in it and shake it by hand to blow the chaff out.

But now they are using winnowing baskets, no one is using the wooden windmill. Winnowing baskets are much more tiring to work with than wooden windmills, and they are also more wasteful of manpower, so why don't they use them?

She was puzzled, but she didn't have time to think about it. She simply thanked the woman and walked towards Station Master Li.

"Station Chief Li, someone is looking for you." Seeing that Liu Shile was quite polite, the woman shouted loudly, which immediately made Station Chief Li, who was busy at work, look up.

When Li Minghua saw that it was a young comrade who looked about the same age as his daughter who was looking for him, he felt a little confused, since he didn't know this young comrade.

However, he was always conscientious and responsible. Although he didn't know what this young comrade wanted from him, he straightened up when he saw her coming.

However, he had been working for quite a while, so his back was a little sore. He couldn't help but rub his back and asked, "Hello, young comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"

He speaks very directly, asking her what she needs right away, which suggests he's a decisive person.

So Liu Shile nodded, and without hiding her purpose, she pushed out her second brother who was following behind trying to stop her, expressing her hope to get a trial opportunity.

Li Minghua had never encountered such a bold young comrade before. If this young comrade hadn't been about the same age as his daughter and had such clear eyes, he would have thought he was joking with him.

Especially when he saw that Liu Shihua was quite thin, he thought to himself, how could such a frail person do the work of milling rice?

However, since they want to give it a try, we can give him a chance so that this young comrade will no longer harbor such unrealistic ideas.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, young man, come on, try grinding it with this stone roller." As he said this, he even pointed out to Liu Shihua how to operate it.

Liu Shihua was a little confused. She had gotten an opportunity already?

Not only him, but Wang Guangjie and his sister were also completely incredulous that Lele had gotten a trial opportunity in such a simple way.

Although it's almost time to hand over the grain tax and the grain station will be very busy, Shih Hua is so thin and weak that most people wouldn't think he could handle the job.

Following Station Chief Li's instructions, Liu Shihua mechanically pulled the stone roller to start grinding rice. With Station Chief Li's guidance and his increased strength, he was able to grind the rice very quickly.

Station Master Li, who originally wanted to show the young man how powerful he was and make him give up, was dumbfounded when he saw how fast the young man was grinding. The young man was really strong!

He also has a strong ability to understand things, and he works faster than the adults present. He didn't call a stop, so Liu Shihua didn't stop milling rice either.

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Minghua began to examine the quality of the rice milled by the young man. Milling rice may seem like a physically demanding job, but there are actually many intricacies involved.

If you grind it too much, it will become broken rice, which won't do. If you don't grind it properly, the husks will still be on the rice, and you'll have to grind it again. So, to grind rice quickly and well, you not only need to be strong, but you also need to be an expert.

Judging from how the young man had just milled rice, he didn't seem like an experienced worker. Therefore, the young man must be a quick learner, strong, and capable of doing manual labor.
