The happy little days of the Ye family

Mother Ye took a small basket and put two bowls of roast chicken in it.

Ye Mu came to Tang's house with a roast chicken. At this time, Ye Qingqing happened to go to the backyard to feed the chickens.

"Mom, why are you here? Didn't you agree to come over in the afternoon?"

"I made roasted chicken this morning. I'll bring some for you to try." Mother Ye didn't stay long, put down the roasted chicken and left in a hurry.

Then Ye Mu went to Wang's house again. As soon as Ye Mu entered the yard, she saw Grandma Ye coming out of the kitchen carrying two large baskets of pastries.

Seeing that these pastries were not like the ones she usually made, Ye Mu asked cheerfully:

"Mom, have you developed a new pastry again?"

Grandma Ye smiled and said: "This is a pastry I made before. I improved it a little. I will bring some back to try later."

"Okay, then I'm not going to be polite."

Ye's mother married close to her and would go back to her parents' home every two or three days. She had a very good relationship with Grandma Ye.

Because of this, Ye Mu chose the Tang family who lives behind the house for Ye Qingqing.

The two families were close and could come back at any time, and with their support, the Tang family did not dare to bully their daughter.

Grandma Ye saw Mother Ye coming over with something again, and said with a smile: "What good things did you bring here again? Don't empty out the Ye family."

"This is the roast chicken I made. The child's father has taken it to the braised pork shop to sell it two days ago. The sales are pretty good. I brought it here specially for my mother to try."

"My daughter is so considerate."

Grandma Ye held Mother Ye's hand and took the basket with a smile.

At this time, the second aunt Li also came out of the house, rubbing her eyes. Li had been doing embroidery all morning and was preparing to make lunch.

"It's time to cook soon. Xiuxiu, why are you here at this time?"

"I made roast chicken this morning and brought it here for everyone to try."

There is nothing new in Taohua Village recently. Mother Ye recently cooked roast chicken at home, and the news has spread throughout the village.

Although Ms. Li does embroidery at home every day, some women who are having fun come to visit her. She would have known that the Ye family would make roast chicken and sell it in the town.

"I heard that this roast chicken sells well in town. I have to try it."

"The town is small and there are not many people. We only sell two or three roast chickens a day." Ye Mu explained.

Mother Ye knew that there were many rumors in the village, saying that their family had made a lot of money selling roast chickens, but they had just started doing it and only sold two or three chickens a day. How much money could they make?

Ye Mu again talked about the merchants from Hangzhou that Ye Qingqing mentioned in the morning.

"Qingqing went to the dock yesterday and bought some fine embroidery thread and white silk. She said they were shipped by merchants from Hangzhou. Not only the quality is good, the price is also cheap."

When they heard that there were cheap and good embroidery threads and silk, Grandma Ye and her second aunt also became energetic, and they motioned to Ye's mother to continue.

"Qingqing said that the merchant will come here every two months. If their products are really good, we can purchase goods directly from the merchant in the future."

"Mom, sister-in-law, let's go to Tang's house this afternoon to see what Qingqing bought yesterday."

Grandma Ye said happily: "Okay, we will go directly to Tang's house in the afternoon. If the things are so good, the cost of this embroidery can be reduced a lot."

Ye's mother and Li were also very happy. The three of them made an appointment to go to Ye's house to find Ye's mother after lunch, and then go to Tang's house together.

Grandma Ye put down the roasted chicken and filled a basket full of cakes for Mother Ye.

With the roast chicken sent by Ye Mu, Ye Qingqing was too lazy to cook.

Ye Qingqing planned to steam two eggplants directly in the rice to make steamed eggplants, and add roasted chicken to feed two people.

There were two cow bones and half a cow tongue in the well, and Ye Qingqing planned to save them for dinner.

Ye Qingqing washed the rice and took out a big pumpkin. The pumpkin was too big to be eaten in one meal, so Ye Qingqing only cut a third of it out.

Cut the pumpkin into thick slices and pour it into the rice. After Ye Qingqing lit the fire, she went to the small vegetable garden.

The small vegetable patch was well taken care of by Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing. Although the place was not big, Ye Qingqing planted a little of various vegetables, melons and fruits.

Ye Qingqing originally wanted to pick eggplants, but found that the eggplants were a bit small, so he picked a handful of beans.

Wash the green beans and cut them into small pieces, blanch them directly in water, then add salt, lard and minced garlic and serve them cold. It is refreshing and delicious in summer.

Ye Qingqing only steamed rice and made a cold bean dish, and had lunch ready in less than two-quarters of an hour.

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing hadn't come back yet, Ye Qingqing simply went back to the house to do embroidery again. She had spent too much money recently, and Ye Qingqing wanted to finish the embroidery as soon as possible and earn back the money she spent on buying materials.

Ye Qingqing lowered her head and threaded a piece of dark brown embroidery thread, and then began to embroider peony branches.

The flower branches are slender, and they were embroidered in a short time and hidden among the leaves, with only a little bit of the branches exposed.

Ye Qingqing changed another piece of pink embroidery thread and prepared to lightly embroider the petals of peonies. Before I had even embroidered a few stitches, I heard the excited shouts of Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

Knowing that Tang Xiaojing was back, Ye Qingqing put down the needle and thread in his hand and walked out quickly.

"Why so late today?"

She had been doing embroidery for a long time, and it was obviously much later than usual.

Tang Xiaojing tied the oxcart to the wooden stake in the front yard and took some fodder for the big ox.

Tang Xiaojing whispered while feeding the cows: "I went to the small valley in the morning and wasted a lot of time."

Ye Qingqing asked anxiously: "Are the herbs still there? Have all the new herbs grown?"

"The herbs are all very good, and about half of the newly planted ones have already sprouted seedlings." Tang Xiaojing said excitedly.

"There were not many prey trapped on the mountain today, only 10 hares. I didn't take them to the county to sell. I asked the long-term workers to make them into wax rabbits."

Moreover, Tang Xiaojing also brought back 10 rabbit skins.

These hares fell into the trap, and the rabbit skins were more or less damaged. However, Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan were still exploring, and these damaged rabbit skins could just be used to practice their skills.

The first batch of rabbit skins that Tangshan made some time ago are not ready yet. They will not be available until half a month. I don’t know how they are doing.

The three members of the Tang family are all looking forward to it. If the rabbit skin is made, the family will have an extra income.

The 10 rabbits in the morning were all made into bacon, but a lot of rabbit offal was left. Although these internal organs were fishy, ​​they were still meat after all.

The 10 rabbits were quite a lot of rabbit miscellaneous things. Tang Xiaojing kept half of them for the long-term workers at home to eat and brought the other half back.

The weather was hot and the offal would smell bad if kept for a long time. Ye Qingqing quickly asked Tang Xiaojing to put all the rabbit's offal in a bucket and hang it in the well.

When Tang Xiaojing went up the mountain to inspect the medicinal field, he found that the honeysuckle on the mountain was ready for the second harvest.

After lunch, Tang Xiaojing hurried out the door. The honeysuckle on the mountain would bloom if it was not picked.

Ye Qingqing washed the dishes and went back to the house to continue doing embroidery, waiting for Mother Ye and Grandma Ye to come over.
