The happy little days of the Ye family

In the evening, Ye Qingqing carried a small basket to the small vegetable garden at the door to pick vegetables.

The vegetables and fruits in the small vegetable garden are growing particularly well at this time.

Thick and large purple-skinned eggplants, emerald-green cucumbers, angular loofahs, slender beans, golden pumpkins, and several kinds of seasonal vegetables.

At this time, the loofahs were already a little old. Ye Qingqing quickly picked off a few tender loofahs and kept the old ones for seeding.

After the old loofah is dried, it can be made into a loofah, which can be used to clean pots, which is especially useful.

The beans on the shelf are also a bit old. This is the last crop of beans this year.

Ye Qingqing picked off all the tender beans on the bean rack, leaving only some old beans for seeds.

Several large pumpkins can also be picked. The Ye family’s pumpkins are usually used to cook pumpkin porridge or make pumpkin cakes at breakfast, otherwise they are kept as vegetables in winter when there are less vegetables.

The Ye family's small vegetable garden is well taken care of by Mrs. Ye. She can't finish all the vegetables and fruits in it, so she rarely uses pumpkins for cooking.

Ye Qingqing thought that Tang Xiaojing liked to eat eggplants, so he picked four more eggplants as thick as his wrist.

Ye Qingqing looked at the basket full of vegetables and thought it would be enough for dinner.

Just as she was about to go back, she saw a perilla tree in the corner that was as high as her chest. This perilla tree had lush branches and leaves, and the leaves were very large.

Ye Qingqing looked at the perilla in the vegetable garden that was about to grow into a tree as tall as a small tree, and wanted to eat the perilla fried snails made by Ye Mu again.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the snails in the fields are at their most plump, and now is the right time to eat them.

Ye Qingqing plans to take Ye Xilin with him tomorrow and go to the ditch next to the paddy field to touch snails together.

Ye Qingqing was still in charge of dinner. Ye Qingqing cooked a few simple dishes, including cold eggplant, fried beans with oil residue, fried cabbage with oil residue, and a loofah and egg soup.

Rice rice is dry rice cooked with sweet potatoes and rice.

Although there is no meat today, the vegetables are fried with oil residue and taste pretty good.

"Sister, your cooking skills are getting better and better now." Ye Xilin likes to eat meat and specializes in picking out the oil residue in vegetables.

Tang Xiaojing just thought that there was no meat at home and he would go back to the mountains to hunt some pheasants and hares tomorrow.

It's not that Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu are stingy, this food is already quite good in the village.

It was just that Tang Xiaojing often hunted rabbits and pheasants in the mountains and brought them back to eat, and Ye's father also took home the leftover braised pork to eat, which led to the Ye family eating meat every day.

If you really have to spend money to buy meat every day, you can't afford it.

Ye Qingqing had just finished cooking and felt a little unappetite, so he made a bowl of loofah and egg drop soup to drink.

"I want to eat the fried snails with perilla made by my mother. Little brother, let's go to the fields to touch the snails tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, it's been a long time since I had my mother's fried snails with perilla. At this time, the snails in the field are the most plump." Ye Xilin is not picky about food and likes to eat anything delicious.

When it comes to eating, Ye Mu is of course indispensable. "Touch more and come back. I just recently learned how to make snail chicken stew from Sister Xinghua. I just made it for you to try."

"Then I'll go hunting two pheasants and come back in two days." Tang Xiaojing quickly expressed his stance.

Tang Xiaojing thought that he had just delivered rabbits to the Liang Family Restaurant yesterday and would have nothing to do tomorrow, so he planned to go touch snails with Ye Qingqing and the others.

"Qingqing, when are you going to touch snails tomorrow? I will go with you."

Father Ye suddenly said: "How about we go tomorrow afternoon? The water is not so cold in the afternoon."

"I also came back from the county in the afternoon, and I happened to go with you. At this time, the loaches and eels in the fields are very fat, so I just happened to touch some and bring them back to make eel rice."

Ye's father was just as interested in stir-fried escargots with perilla, but he was actually craving eel rice.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin didn't care. They could touch the snails anytime. Ye Qingqing turned around and looked at Tang Xiaojing.

Tang Xiaojing thought that the afternoon was just right and he could go to the mountains to hunt some rabbits and pheasants in the morning.

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaojing went to Stone Mountain.

Tang Xiaojing first sprinkled some plant ash as fertilizer on several medicinal fields, and then poured some water on it.

Under Tang Xiaojing's careless care, these herbs are now growing quite well. Half of the herbs will be ready for picking by the end of the year, and the rest will be picked next year.

After taking care of the medicinal field, Tang Xiaojing went to the rock wall to see the dendrobium. These dendrobiums are treasures. Tang Xiaojing would go and take a look at them every time he went up the mountain.

These dendrobiums have grown a lot of branches and buds during this period. At the end of the year, some of them can be pruned and sold.

However, the growth rate of dendrobium is slow, and the branches will become fewer and fewer as they are cut, and they will grow slower and slower in the future.

Tang Jing plans to cut off half of it and sell it for money at the end of the year. He will build the house first and then trim it every two years and sell it.

Or cut two dendrobium branches every year, so that you can sell dendrobium every year.

Stone Mountain is rich in vegetation, and the plants on the mountain grow particularly well. Therefore, there are many pheasants and hares on the mountain, as well as many deer deer and wild goats.

Therefore, Tang Xiaojing deliberately dug a lot of traps in the mountain/

After checking a circle of traps, Tang Xiaojing harvested a newly adult wild goat and several hares.

Autumn has just entered, which is a good time for nourishment. Tang Xiaojing plans to keep this wild goat for his own consumption.

The wild goat must have fallen into the trap not long ago and is still warm to the touch. The hares took a little longer to fall into, but they are still edible.

Tang Xiaojing lifted the goat and hare up, and then rearranged the trap.

Just as they were about to go down the mountain, Da Huang and Xiao Huang drove a deer over with a slight injury.

Tang Xiaojing quickly put down the wild goat he was carrying on his shoulders, held down the deer, then grabbed a few handfuls of thin vines and tied the deer up.

The deer was not big, only about 30 kilograms. Tang Xiaojing put the deer into the big basket behind him.

Tang Xiaojing often went hunting in the mountains. The backpack he used was a specially made one, which was larger than ordinary backpacks and also reinforced.

Tang Xiaojing happily patted the big heads of Da Huang and Xiao Huang, "Good guys, you two are getting better and better. Now you can even hunt deer deer."

"It just so happens that there are several rabbits in the trap today. At noon, every dog ​​will be rewarded with a rabbit leg."

Tang Xiaojing put the basket on his back and the wild goat on his back, and happily took Rhubarb and Xiaohuang down the mountain.

Tang Xiaojing was thinking about going to catch snails with Ye Qingqing in the afternoon, so he raised the deer in the backyard. He planned to send the rabbits to the Liang Family Restaurant together the day after tomorrow.

The deer was only slightly injured and seemed to be quite energetic. Tang Xiaojing locked it in the pigsty where rabbits were raised.

Tang Xiaojing carried a few rabbits and a wild goat, and came to Ye's house by familiar routes.

At this time, Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu happened to be picking vegetables in the yard. It was getting late, and they were preparing to make lunch.

"This wild goat is so fat."

When Ye Qingqing saw Tang Xiaojing coming with the wild goat on his shoulders, he didn't have any choice of food and walked forward quickly.

"Boy Jing, take this wild goat to the county and sell it quickly. Wild goats are rare and can be sold for a lot of money."

Forget about the pheasants and rabbits, the wild goat Ye Mu didn't dare to accept them, so she quickly urged Tang Xiaojing to take them to the county and sell them.

"Autumn is a good time for nourishment. This wild goat was caught in a trap on the mountain anyway. It doesn't cost anything. It's okay to eat it occasionally."

Ye Mu couldn't persuade Tang Xiaojing, so she had no choice but to accept the wild goat.

Ye's mother planned to ask Father Ye to buy some better cotton and let Ye Qingqing make two better clothes for Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing.

Although the two families have a good relationship, Ye's mother is unwilling to take advantage of the Tang family for fear that the Tang family will look down on Ye Qingqing in the future.

It was too late to get the wild goat at noon, so Ye Mu and Tang Xiaojing took care of the wild goat and kept it in a hanging well to do it at night.

The wild goat was quite fat, enough to feed two families for several days. The hare leaf mother planned to make it into wax rabbits and save it for later eating.
