The happy little days of the Ye family

In his sleep, Ye Qingqing suddenly felt a stinging pain in his calf, and then woke up suddenly.

After waking up, I found that my calf was cramped, with bursts of twitching and tingling pain.

As soon as Ye Qingqing sat up, Tang Xiaojing woke up immediately and asked anxiously:

"Qingqing, are your legs cramping again?"

"Yeah, my legs are cramping again. It hurts." Ye Qingqing looked at Tang Xiaojing pitifully and said with an aggrieved look.

Tang Xiaojing quickly stood up and took the thick coat lying aside and put it on Ye Qingqing, then lifted the quilt and massaged her calves skillfully.

In the past two months, Ye Qingqing often woke up in the middle of the night with cramps in her legs. Tang Xiaojing skillfully pressed the acupuncture points on her legs, and the pain disappeared after a while.

Tang Xiaojing pressed for a while longer. Seeing that Ye Qingqing was fine, he helped him lie down again.

Tang Xiaojing hugged Ye Qingqing, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead tenderly.

"It's okay, it's not dark yet, let's sleep a little longer."

Seeing that the person in his arms was silent, he looked down and found that he was already asleep.

Tang Xiaojing smiled lovingly, lowered his head and kissed Ye Qingqing's chubby face twice more, then hugged his soft little wife and fell asleep quickly.

Since the Li family helped kill chickens and ducks, the Ye family had a lot of leisure every morning.

Father Ye even regretted why he didn't ask for help earlier.

Before breakfast, Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu had already marinated the chicken and duck. The rest is relatively simple, just put the marinated chicken and duck into the stove and roast it slowly.

Xiao Qi can now walk and is curious about everything she sees. Her favorite thing is to come over to the oven to find Wang Chunyu.

Wang Chunyu was afraid that the little one would be injured, so he asked Ye Donglin to surround the three ovens at home with bamboos.

Once you close the small bamboo door, the little one can't get in.

While Wang Chunyu was cooking roast duck inside, Xiaoqi circled around the bamboo fence and shouted to Wang Chunyu with her small mouth.

After walking around the bamboo fence for a few times, the little guy decided it wasn't fun and wandered back to the front yard. Then he was hugged by Mr. Ye, the most laid-back man in the family.

"Grandpa, Feifei."

Mr. Ye raised Xiao Qi high, making the little guy laugh.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Mr. Ye said something to Wang Chunyu, and then took Xiao Qi's chubby hand and went out to play together.

During the Chinese New Year, roast duck and chicken sold well, and Mr. Ye specially helped build an extra large oven.

The 4 ducks and 8 hens prepared by Wang Chunyu can be roasted in one go.

Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu quickly lit the charcoal in the oven, then hung the duck and hen inside and roasted them slowly.

While the roast duck and chicken were still in the stove, Wang Chunyu took out a large basket of chestnuts.

Chestnut cake is delicious, but peeling it off is not easy.

After washing the chestnuts, Wang Chunyu used a kitchen knife to chop each chestnut hard, making a cut, and then put it into a large iron pot to cook.

By the time the roast duck and chicken come out of the oven, the chestnuts are almost done.

Because he was thinking about making chestnut cake, Wang Chunyu sent the roast duck and chicken to the father and son and hurried back.

Wang Chunyu had just returned home when Mr. Ye came back with Xiao Qi who had been wandering around the village.

The little guy was very excited when he saw Wang Chunyu. He waved his little hands in the air and walked toward his mother with short legs and long hops.

"Mother, mother..."

"Hey, mother's darling, come to mother quickly."

Wang Chunyu squatted on the ground, opened his arms towards Xiao Qi, and waited for the little guy to come over on his own.

Xiao Qi will be able to walk at about 10 months old. Now he is over one year old and can walk very steadily.

The little guy was so anxious that he started running without taking two steps. However, his calves were not strong enough and he staggered while running.

Wang Chunyu's heart skipped a beat when she saw the child running swayingly. Fortunately, the little guy fell steadily into her arms.

Wang Chunyu happily picked up the little guy and kissed him twice.

"Do you miss your mother~"

Xiao Qi stared at Wang Chunyu innocently and ignorantly with her big round eyes.

"Mom, kiss~"

"Our Xiao Qi is so cute." Wang Chunyu smiled happily and kissed the little guy's face twice more. .

"ah."

The little guy blinked happily, knowing that his mother liked him, and giggled.

Then he raised his little face and kissed Wang Chunyu twice on the chin.

"Mom, kiss~"

Wang Chunyu's heart was so soft that he looked at the little guy tenderly and intently.

Mr. Ye took Xiao Qi to play in the village for a long time. He was already a little tired. The little guy stayed in Wang Chunyu's arms obediently.

Seeing that the child was a little sleepy, Wang Chunyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and then took him to Mrs. Ye's room to sleep.

Old Mrs. Ye is sitting in the room with her head tied. If the little guy wakes up and sees familiar people around him, he won't cry.

Mrs. Ye is very good at raising children. She raised the three grandchildren at home with her own hands. Looking at her well-behaved great-grandson, her face is full of love.

"Xiaoyu, go and do your work. I'll just watch Xiaoqi."

"No rush, I'll put the little guy to sleep first."

Wang Chunyu didn't leave in a hurry. He put the little guy to sleep before going to the kitchen to make chestnut cake.

The most troublesome part of making chestnut cake is peeling the chestnuts. It took Wang Chunyu half an hour to peel out all the chestnuts.

Before lunch, Wang Chunyu had already made all the chestnut cakes.

Father Ye and Ye Donglin both felt that chestnut cake with honey was more delicious, so Wang Chunyu made all the chestnut meat into honey chestnut cake.

Thinking that Ye Qingqing said yesterday that the chestnut cake was a bit dry, Wang Chunyu deliberately added more honey this time.

The chestnut flour mixed this time is more sticky and not easy to spread.

Wang Chunyu tasted the taste. Chestnuts originally had a slight sweetness, but adding honey made them taste sweeter and more delicious.

There were three mooncake molds at home. Wang Chunyu looked around and finally picked the one in the shape of a small flower.

First, the flower-shaped honey chestnut cake is more delicate and beautiful. Secondly, this mold is smaller, and more pastries can be made with the same chestnut flour.

It’s not that Wang Chunyu is stingy, the main reason is that chestnut flesh is really difficult to get out. A basket of chestnuts can only be turned into chestnut flour in a small pot, and the chestnut meat shrinks very seriously.

And she mixed a lot of honey in it, so the cost is quite high.

Wang Chunyu roughly estimated that the cost of a honey chestnut cake was more than two cents, close to three cents.

Ye Donglin only earns 2 cents from selling a piece of chestnut cake. Ye's father's stall on North Street can sell it at a higher price, but he only earns 3 cents from a piece.

The flower-shaped honey chestnut cake looks quite delicate, and you can smell the fragrance of chestnuts and honey from a distance.

Wang Chunyu is very confident that this honey chestnut cake will definitely sell well.

After the pastries were made, Wang Chunyu saved a few for his family to eat, and put the rest into two food boxes.

Each food box contains 20 honey chestnut cakes. Wang Chunyu calculated in his mind that if he sold them all, he could earn about 100 Wen.

Father Ye also sells the pastries made by Wang Chunyu on Bei Street every day.

The two had already agreed that Wang Chunyu would be responsible for making pastries, and Father Ye would be responsible for selling pastries, and the money earned would be shared equally between them.
