Chapter 272 Cleaning
Fortunately, Grandpa Huang usually pays great attention to the hygiene of the livestock and takes care of them from time to time, so although there are many places to clean at this time, the cleaning speed is still very fast.
The three children were responsible for cleaning the yard and the rooms. They all came from poor backgrounds, and although their lives had gotten better now, they did not become lazy. When they received the tasks assigned to them by Lin Chuyi, they happily went to clean with brooms and dustpans.
Although they are young, they are very organized. They know to sprinkle water on the ground before cleaning to avoid dust. They also know how to divide the work and cooperate with each other to improve work efficiency.
After completing the floor cleaning task, they spontaneously began to clean the tables, chairs and benches. Each person took a rag, washed and wrung it dry, and started wiping from the tables and chairs in the lobby.
Seeing that they were very interested, Lin Chuyi did not stop them, but only reminded them to be careful when climbing up and down.
Lin Chuyi also arranged a job for herself. She was responsible for cleaning the entire kitchen. Although their kitchen was built less than a year ago, their family had good food. Not only did they often eat meat, but they also used many times more oil for cooking than other families in the surrounding area.
If more oil is used, the dishes will definitely taste better than those cooked without oil or with a small amount of oil, but at the same time, the smoke will be much heavier than other people's dishes. There is oil stain on every item in the kitchen. There is not much oil stain left on bowls, chopsticks and stoves because they are often used and cleaned, but windows, walls, cabinets, floors and other places that are not taken care of on a daily basis are all the hardest hit by oil stains.
When you put your fingers on it, you can feel a slight stickiness, which is caused by oil stains. Lin Chuyi had noticed this before and took this opportunity to give the kitchen a thorough cleaning.
Lin Chuyi moved all the movable items in the kitchen to the yard, took out the detergent and rinsed the cupboards, water tanks, pots and pans twice. After scrubbing the iron pot, she turned it over and used a hoe to scrape off several layers of ash from the bottom of the pot, giving the iron pot a "slimming" exercise.
After doing all this, Lin Chuyi spread out the cleaned kitchen items to dry, then took the detergent and brush into the kitchen and started cleaning the kitchen.
While Lin Chuyi was busy, Madam Shen and Aunt Huang were not idle either. They were responsible for drying and washing clothes and beddings. Fortunately, Lin Chuyi made so many clothes drying racks, otherwise there would not be enough space in the yard.
Although there are no strong laborers in the family, none of them are lazy. The hygiene of the house has always been kept good, so when the cleaning tasks are broken down into each person, everyone's work efficiency is quite high.
The first to complete the task were the three children headed by Lin Wuyou. After they finished sweeping the floor, they assigned themselves the additional task of wiping the furniture. Lin Chuyi was the second to complete the task. The detergent she used to clean the kitchen was produced by Space, which was very effective in dealing with grease stains.
After cleaning the kitchen, she opened the kitchen window for ventilation. After the kitchen was dry, she could move the kitchen utensils that were drying in the yard back.
Lin Chuyi was not idle during the waiting process. She led the horse to the bathing room specially built for cows and horses, then took a bucket of warm water and a brush and went to give the horse a bath.
Today is the day for cleaning. Not only the residence needs to be cleaned, but livestock such as cattle and horses, as part of the family, also need to be taken care of.
When Grandpa Huang finished his task and was about to come over to bathe the horse, he found that Lin Chuyi had already come out of the bathroom leading the horse.
Lin Chu handed the horse reins to Grandpa Huang and asked him to tie the horse into the stable, and then bring the cow over as she wanted to give it a bath.
Uncle Huang said he would just give the cow a bath, but Lin Chuyi refused.
Seeing that Lin Chuyi had made up his mind, Uncle Huang stopped forcing her and led the spirited horse back to the clean stable.
When Lin Chu saw Mr. Huang leave, he quickly returned to the bathroom and disguised himself.
Why did she need to fake the scene? Because she hadn't bathed the horse at all. The bathing room was clean, and the brush and bucket were just as they were when they were brought in.
The reason why the horse was so neat was that after Lin Chuyi closed the door, she sent the horse directly into the space and asked the breeder to bathe the horse for her.
It’s not that Lin Chuyi was lazy, but she had never bathed a horse before and didn’t know what the taboos were for bathing livestock. In addition, it was winter and the indoor temperature was not high. She was afraid that she would be clumsy and freeze the horse.
Every profession has its own expertise. Lin Chuyi took the brush and practiced on the horse for a few times. Finally, he decided to send the horse into the space for the breeder to wash it.
It’s true, professionals are different, their movements are so neat and efficient. But Lin Chuyi didn’t expect that Uncle Huang was going to come over to help, which led to what happened just now.
Just now, when Lin Chuyi was watching the breeder bathing the horses, her mouth was not idle. She asked the breeder what he needed to pay attention to when bathing different livestock.
The questions Lin Chuyi asked were all within the breeder's professional field. He answered them very smoothly, and Lin Chuyi also took this opportunity to absorb a lot of new knowledge points.
Lin Chuyi had just finished setting up the bathing room when Grandpa Huang came over with the big yellow cattle. Naturally, the next task of bathing the big yellow cattle and the big dairy cow could not be done by the space breeder, so Lin Chuyi did it herself, and Grandpa Huang was responsible for helping her.
Lin Chuyi not only applied what he learned flexibly, but also adjusted the cleaning method according to the breeder's instructions. He also taught Grandpa Huang as he learned, providing him with knowledge to avoid him making mistakes the next time he bathed his livestock.
Grandpa Huang listened very carefully, and at the same time, he felt even more in awe of Lin Chuyi. He felt that his daughter was very knowledgeable and even understood this kind of knowledge in such detail.
Huang and Shen finished their own work and came to help. Lin Chuyi assigned them to go to the kitchen to boil water. They were about to finish their work, so there was no need to let them come in and get stained with the smell. If they went to boil water now, they could just add water and take a bath after they were done.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Huang and the other two agreed and went to the kitchen to boil water. They boiled five large pots of water. Not only did Lin Chuyi and Uncle Huang take a bath with the hot water, but the two of them and their three children had been busy all day and were quite dirty, so they simply took this opportunity to wash everything together.
When taking a bath, everyone used the bath cream that Lin Chuyi brought back. After using the cream, not only did their bodies feel clean, but they also had a light floral scent. Combined with the new clothes they had just made some time ago and looking at the brand new yard, everyone's mood was brighter than usual, and there were many more laughs and smiles than usual.
