The happy little days of the Ye family

Early in the morning, Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin went to Ye Dazhuang's house with a few fresh big bones.

Ah Huang gave birth to a litter of puppies 10 days ago, giving birth to a total of five cute little guys.

Ever since the little guys were born, Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin would come over every day to take a look at these cute little guys.

Ah Huang gave birth to several puppies in the woodshed. When Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin passed by, the little ones were lying on Ah Huang's belly sucking milk.

Mrs. Li was afraid that Ah Huang would bite someone, so she wouldn't let Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin get close, and would only let them watch from a distance.

The five little puppies all have different patterns and colors, making them very easy to recognize.

One is off-white, one is light yellow, one is darker yellow, one is brown, and the other is yellow with brown patterns.

The little guys sucked milk desperately, and after they were full, they fell asleep on Ah Huang's belly.

The little guys were sleeping soundly, with their little tongues hanging out. Ye Qingqing's heart softened when she saw them, and she really wanted to hold them and rub them.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Li was watching from the side, refusing to let the siblings get close.

"Normally if you get close to Ah Huang, he won't bite, but a dog that has given birth to a baby is the most vicious. If you touch its baby, it will bite regardless of whether it is familiar with it or not."

"Next time you come, just watch from a distance. Don't get close, let alone touch Ah Huang's baby."

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin are both afraid of pain and death. Li said so, so naturally they didn't dare to go in and tease the puppy.

Ye Qingqing handed the basket in his hand to Mrs. Li, "Auntie, here are some big bones. Make a bone soup for Ah Huang."

I don't know if it was Ye Qingqing's illusion, but since Ah Huang gave birth to the baby, I feel that Ah Huang has lost a lot of weight, and the whole dog has changed a lot.

When Butcher Zhang delivers meat to the Ye family, he always brings some big bones. Ye Qingqing brings some big bones every day to make soup for Ah Huang to replenish his body.

Mrs. Li took the small basket and carried the big bones back to the kitchen. After putting the bones down, she put a few pieces of tofu inside.

As soon as Ye Qingqing picked up the basket, she felt that the weight was wrong, and saw that there were indeed a few pieces of tender tofu inside.

"Sister-in-law, you are so polite, why are you pretending to me again?"

Mrs. Li was very enthusiastic, "I made this tofu myself and it's not worth much. Just take it back and eat it."

The two pushed and pushed for a while, but in the end Ye Qingqing lost to Li. Ye Qingqing still took the tofu with him when he left.

At noon, tofu is easy to spoil in summer, so Ye Qingqing made all the tofu during lunch.

Ye Qingqing made tofu stew and tofu crucian carp soup.

The crucian carp was caught by Mr. Ye yesterday from the large puddle in Xiaohou Mountain. In addition to the crucian carp, the family also has two large grass carp weighing five kilograms.

Not to mention, fish that grew up drinking mountain spring water are indeed tastier than ordinary fish.

These fish have no earthy smell at all, and the fish meat is also more delicious, especially when steamed.

Fish meat is much cheaper than other kinds of meat. The Ye family does not plan to sell the fish in this big puddle and keeps it for their own consumption.

Mr. Ye goes around the Xiaohou Mountain every day and catches a few fish from time to time.

The pool in the backyard is specially used for raising fish. When you want to eat, you can just go to the backyard to fish.

Practice makes perfect, and Ye Qingqing was already very skilled at killing fish.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing also learned various ways to cook fish, including fried, steamed, stewed, baked, and sweet and sour. Ye Qingqing can do it all.

Ye Qingqing has been cooking for more than half a month, and the food is now in good shape, and she can prepare several large dishes.

Ever since Ye Qingqing started cooking, Tang Xiaojing stopped letting Ye Qingqing wash the dishes.

Every time it was Ye Qingqing's turn to wash the dishes, she would actively rush to wash them.

The people of the Ye family were very satisfied when they saw that Tang Xiaojing was so wise.

Tangshan didn't feel anything, since he wasn't the one to wash it anyway, so it was better to stay out of the young man's affairs.

Ye Xilin had previously said that he would build two more stoves in the yard, but he has been putting off doing so until now.

In fact, the mud bricks had been made before the rainstorm, but I was busy mining honeysuckle at that time.

After the rain, we were busy picking mushrooms and making dried bamboo shoots. Now Mr. Ye is busy building a pig pen.

Ye Xilin felt that Mr. Ye must have forgotten about this matter.

When he went to cut pig grass in Xiaohou Mountain, Ye Xilin specifically mentioned the matter of building a stove to Mr. Ye.

Seeing the guilty look on Mr. Ye's face, Ye Xilin had indeed forgotten all about this matter.

Mr. Ye felt a little guilty and said quickly: "The mud bricks have been made a long time ago. I will transport the mud bricks back when I go back later. I will build the stove for you tomorrow."

There were not many mud bricks used for the stove, and they were all transported back on a cart.

Early the next morning, Mr. Ye and Ye Xilin were setting up a stove in the yard.

While setting up the stove, Mr. Ye carefully explained to Ye Xilin how to set it up and why it was done this way.

Although Ye Xilin was young, he was smart and got started quickly, and he followed Mr. Ye to set up the stove in style.

Ye Qingqing was tired from doing embroidery, so he gave the two of them water while walking around.

After lunch, Tang Xiaojing saw that there was nothing much to do in the afternoon, so he also set up a stove in the yard.

The three of them worked very quickly and had the stove set up before evening.

Seeing that there were still some extra mud bricks, Ye Qingqing wanted to build an oven as mentioned in the travel notes.

Ye Qingqing coquettishly asked Mr. Ye to help her get an oven.

Mr. Ye doted on his children, and when he saw that there were still mud bricks left, he happily agreed.

Ye Qingqing went back to the house and took out the travel notes, and everyone worked together to figure out what to do.

No one has ever seen this oven before, so they can only build one randomly based on the description in the travel notes.

In fact, it is a smaller stove, but the stove is sealed, leaving only the entrance for burning the fire and a few small holes for exhaust.

When Father Ye came back in the evening, he was particularly interested in this oven and walked around the oven twice.

During the meal, Ye's father asked Ye Qingqing, "Can this oven be used to make roast chicken? It's the kind sold in town."

"The travel notes say it can be used to roast chicken, rabbit and duck, but there are no detailed instructions on how to do it."

Tang Xiaojing was very positive, "I will go to the mountain to catch two pheasants and hares tomorrow and come back and give it a try tomorrow."

They used pheasants and hares from the mountains. As long as they didn't touch the chickens and ducks at home, Mrs. Ye didn't care about them and let them do as they pleased.

The weather was hot and the stove was dry by the afternoon of the second day.

Ye Qingqing couldn't wait to go to the backyard and kill a pheasant. He cleaned the pheasant and rubbed it with salt and spices.

The spices above are prepared by Ye Mu herself, and are actually the spices used to braise the meat.

The spices are first fried and then ground into powder.

Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Mu who was instructing at the side, "Mom, how long do you need to marinate this pheasant?"

"It will take at least two quarters of an hour." Mother Ye had never cooked roast chicken, so she wasn't really sure.
