The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 986 Making Lotus Root Starch 3

Chenchen had grown a lot of little teeth now, so Ye Qingqing filled him with half a bowl of rice, and then mixed it with fragrant lotus root minced meat.

You don’t even need to taste it, you can tell it tastes just by looking at it.

As soon as the rice was mixed, Chenchen jumped excitedly in Tang Xiaojing's arms, stretching out her little hands to grab the bowl in Ye Qingqing's hand.

"Ah... rice... fragrant~"

Chenchen not only looks like Ye Qingqing, but also has almost the same temperament. Not only does she sleep well, she is also very greedy and smells particularly good when eating.

Ye Qingqing looked at Chenchen with a gentle smile on his face. "Are we hungry in the morning?"

"Mom~, I'm hungry..." As he said that, the little guy opened his mouth towards Ye Qingqing.

Seeing that the rice in the bowl was no longer as hot as before, Ye Qingqing scooped up half a spoonful of rice with a small wooden spoon and put it into the little guy's mouth.

Chenchen ate deliciously, and his little face was bulging, like a fat white bun.

Taking advantage of the little guy's break to eat, Ye Qingqing quickly took a few bites by himself.

The little guy is smart. After finishing the food in his mouth, he will open his mouth to ask for food.

"Ahh..., rice rice..."

Ye Qingqing quickly fed the little guy another mouthful of rice.

Chenchen's mouth was bulging like a greedy little squirrel, which looked very cute.

Ye Qingqing felt that watching the little guy eat made him eat half a bowl more.

As for Xiao Qi, who is over two years old, she can already eat by herself with bowls and chopsticks.

The little guy especially likes to eat meat, and his chubby hands kept reaching for the braised pheasant.

Tang Xiaojing held his heavy son in one hand and ate unskilledly with the other.

At this time, he looked at Xiao Qi, who was able to eat by himself, and felt particularly envious.

When will this brat grow up?

Mrs. Ye saw that Xiao Qi only ate meat, so she specially gave him two slices of stewed lotus root.

"Don't be picky about food. You have to eat a little of everything, otherwise you won't be able to grow taller in the future."

The little guy shook his head nervously and quickly picked up a piece of pink and glutinous lotus root.

"Xiao Qi is not picky about food~, Xiao Qi wants to be as tall as daddy."

The lotus root is stewed with the ribs, and the surface is covered with broth, which looks very tempting.

As soon as the little guy took a bite, his eyes lit up, "It's delicious~, Auntie's cooking is delicious^0^."

"Eat more if you like."

Seeing that the little guy likes to eat meat, Li Guoer gave him another piece of ribs.

"Thank you, auntie." Although the little guy was in a hurry to eat, he was still very polite.

"You're welcome, Xiao Qi is so good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Guoer felt the bowl here sink. She turned around and saw that it was Ye Xilin who was putting vegetables into her bowl.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Although they didn't say anything, there was a feeling that no one could get in.

After lunch, it was sticky, and the young couple separated.

Ye Xilin hurriedly went to the backyard to feed the pigs, while Li Guoer collected the dishes and chopsticks to wash.

Thinking about making lotus root starch, Ye Qingqing took Tang Xiaojing to the yard just after lunch.

I saw the stubborn donkey who was supposed to be grinding the mill, but now he was lying lazily on the ground and sleeping soundly.

Ye Qingqing walked over and patted the stubborn donkey who was sleeping soundly on the big head, "You know how to be lazy."

The stubborn donkey ignored Ye Qingqing and turned around to continue sleeping.

Seeing that the lotus roots on the millstone had been ground, Ye Qingqing added some more.

Then he brought a bundle of fodder over and coaxed the striking donkey.

"It's a pity that I can only see that I can't eat it. I won't blame you this time. Just eat the fodder obediently and get up to work."

Although this donkey has a bad temper, he is also very easy to coax. After eating the fodder, he continues to grind obediently.

With the help of the donkey, the lotus root pulp was quickly ground into two large barrels.

Ye Mu found two pieces of clean cotton cloth and brought them over.

Use cotton cloth to filter the ground lotus root pulp once. The filtered residue can also be washed twice with clean water to wash out all the lotus root powder inside.

After some operations, the original two small barrels of lotus root pulp became three large barrels.

There was only a little bit of dregs left after washing out, and Ye Mu poured it all into the big pot for cooking pig food, saving it for cooking pig food in the afternoon.

Pigs are omnivores and can eat basically anything humans can eat.

Ye Mu asked Tang Xiaojing to move these three large buckets of lotus root pulp to the kitchen and leave them there overnight.

The lotus root starch in the water will slowly settle down, and the upper layer will turn into clear water.

Tomorrow, pour away the water on top and you can dry the lotus root starch.

He didn't chop much firewood in the morning. Seeing that he was all finished, Tang Xiaojing actively chopped firewood at Ye's house again.

Tangtang cried just now, and Ye Mu went to Wang Chunyu's place to help comfort the child.

As for Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing, who had nothing to do, they were playing with the two little guys in the yard.

After Li Guoer washed the dishes, she took out a few more bowls of lotus root balls, intending to give them to her neighbors.

The main ones are the brothers Tang Yilin and Tang Erlin, Ye Qingmei's natal family, Qiu Harvest Lady's family, and Ye Mu's natal family.

Li Guoer thought for a while and prepared two more larger bowls.

This morning, Mrs. Ye went to Wang's house and Zhang's house.

The Li family has no fields, so Li He and Li Orion have come to the Ye family to help with the autumn and summer harvests in the past two years.

Almost everyone in the village knows them, and they also know that the Li family and his son are very strong and are good at hunting and working.

When Mrs. Ye talked about Li He, Aunt Chen was really moved at first, but then she felt worried.

Hunting is really dangerous. If she encounters a wild beast in the mountains and loses her life or becomes lame or paralyzed, what will her daughter do in the future?

The Li family is indeed well off, and the betrothal gift given to them is also high, but Aunt Chen is reluctant to let her daughter suffer in the future.

I only told Mrs. Ye that I wanted to discuss it with the child's father, but it seemed that she was a little reluctant.

On the contrary, the Zhang family, although they also said they would consider it, the Zhang family's wife's attitude was obviously more enthusiastic.

Both Zhang Chunhua and Zhang Butcher's wife had seen Li He. He was tall and strong and worked very hard. They had a good impression of him.

As for Butcher Zhang, he naturally didn't want his daughter to marry so far away from Dashan Village. Moreover, Li He is also an Orion. Although this business is profitable, it is indeed dangerous.

But he couldn't help but that both his daughter and wife thought he was good.

Thinking of his younger brother, Li Guoer planned to pay a visit to the Wang family and Zhang family.

Li Guoer prepared the things, Ye Xilin also fed the pigs, and the young couple carried the small basket and went out together.

Mrs. Ye looked at the young couple's intimate figures and happily said to Ye Qingqing beside her:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the young couple have such a good relationship. It won't be long before Xiaoqi and Tangtang will have a younger brother or sister."

"Grandma, how long have they been married? Don't say this in front of the two of them."

Ye Qingqing was also here, but she didn't like others asking her about having children.

And when the child will come, it is not something she can decide.

"I know, I'm not confused. I'll tell you in front of you, and I won't mention it in front of Guo'er."

Although Old Mrs. Ye likes her family to be prosperous, she also knows how to behave and will not upset her juniors by speaking out about it.
