In fact, in addition to the sumptuous dishes, there should also be a bowl of longevity noodles.

But Ye Yaoyao was too young after all, and it was a bit difficult for her to eat longevity noodles. For safety reasons, Meng Huaishao decided not to do it.

For the little foodie Ye Yaoyao, cooking a few more dishes is enough.

She was already very surprised to have cake to eat!

She hadn’t celebrated her birthday for more than ten years in her previous life. This was the first time in her life that she ate her own birthday cake!

People must know how to be content in order to live happily.

It just so happens that Ye Yaoyao is a person who is easily satisfied.

She ate the dishes Meng Huaishao picked for her attentively, and felt that no matter how delicious the delicacies were, they were not as good as the home-cooked meals made by Meng Huaishao.

The people you care about also care about you.

A simple life, a house, a meal, and always someone to accompany you.

This is probably what a beautiful and happy day is like.

After my birthday, spring is gradually coming to an end.

Ye Yaoyao finally thought of a low-cost way to make money.

That is – selling drinks!

It's not too cold yet, so we sell juice and hot tea.

When the weather gets warmer, she plans to sell iced drinks and herbal tea.

It might not be much money, but it was better than the pile of prey on the farm that couldn't be processed and had to be made into pickled meat.

The ice she was going to use was certainly not frozen in the refrigerator, but ice cubes made using the principle of making ice with saltpeter.

Saltpeter is very common in small mountain villages, and because of the earthen houses here, there is really a lot of saltpeter!

Most of the earthen houses in this village are quite old, and there is a layer of white substance on the surface of their wall corners, which is saltpeter.

In the village, it was not a rare thing, and no one knew what it was used for, so when Meng Huaishao mentioned that they wanted to scrape these white things off, everyone readily agreed and let them scrape them off as they pleased!

Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao have been frantically collecting saltpeter in the past few days.

"Brother Xiao Meng, Sister Yao Yao, what are you doing?"

Little Cauliflower, who was already four years old, squatted in the corner with her skirt lifted up, looking curiously at the two people squatting on the ground scraping dust.

"Get the saltpeter!"

Ye Yaoyao was holding a basin in her hand, which was filled with a lot of white powdery substance.

"Disappearing Stone? A stone that can disappear?"

Cauliflower stared with her big round eyes, unable to understand what Ye Yaoyao said.

This is clearly just gray, how did it turn into stone?

"Yeah, it's saltpeter!"

Ye Yaoyao smiled and nodded, showing the basin in her hand to Caihuaer, her eyes curved into little crescents with laughter.

"My brother and I prepared some delicious food, use it!"

"Is this edible?"

Cauliflower stretched out his finger and dipped it in a little, feeling a little hesitant, not knowing whether to taste it or not.

“You can’t eat it!”

Ye Yaoyao saw that Caihuaer seemed to be about to put her hand into her mouth in the next moment, so she quickly grabbed her hand and shook off the white gray on it.

"You can't eat saltpeter!"

Ye Yaoyao emphasized again, then sighed deeply.

How could there be someone more greedy than her?

She is so brave that she dares to put the powder scraped from the wall into her mouth!

"Oh!"

Cauliflower looked at the powder falling down with regret, feeling a little regretful.

She just now, but it was not easy for her to decide to try it!

"Yaoyao, bring the basin over here!"

While they were chatting here, Meng Huaishao had already scraped a large area of ​​saltpeter.

Some were powdery, and some were small pieces, all of which fell to the ground.

The ground was covered with broad leaves, which caught all the saltpeter.

Ye Yaoyao carried the basin over and watched Meng Huaishao gather the saltpeter together and pour it all into the basin.

"Okay, we've finished scraping this house, let's move on!"

"good!"

Ye Yaoyao picked up the basin again and prepared to go to the next house, but was stopped by Caihuaer.

"Sister Yaoyao, I also have this disappearing stone at home! Let's go to my house!"

"It's saltpeter!"

Ye Yaoyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard Caihuaer calling her name.

"Yeah, Xiaoshi! I have Xiaoshi at home too! Come to my house!"

Caihuaer enthusiastically pulled Ye Yaoyao and ran, with an attitude that absolutely could not be refused. Ye Yaoyao could only run after her holding the basin.

Seeing this, Meng Huaishao could only put away his tools and leaves and run after him.

The two little ones were running very fast. He didn’t know whether they were looking at the road or not, but Ye Yaoyao was still holding a basin!

Not safe at all!

"Yaoyao, Cauliflower, slow down!"

"Brother Xiao Meng, hurry up!"

Caihuaer felt that she was already a big sister. When she heard the voice while holding Ye Yaoyao's hand, she did not forget to look back at Meng Huaishao and urged him.

He’s such a grown-up, how come he can’t run as fast as her and Yaoyao?

Meng Huaishao, who fell behind and had to pick up a pile of leaves: "..."

He was also quite wronged.

On the way to Caihuaer's home, they met a few children. When they heard that we were going to collect saltpeter to make "xiaoshi", they were all very curious and followed us without thinking.

A group of seven or eight children quickly captured a wall in the yard of Caihuaer's house.

Mudun'er looked at his little sister, who was sticking her butt out among a bunch of naughty kids, and felt a headache.

But when he got closer and saw Shi Menghuaishao surrounded in the middle, his headache turned into curiosity.

"Xiao Meng, what are you doing?"

Meng Huaishao heard the voice, turned around, and saw that it was Mudun'er. A smile appeared on his face covered with white ash.

"Brother Mudun, we are collecting saltpeter!"

"Salt?"

Mudun'er was puzzled.

They had never heard of this term.

"This is it."

Meng Huaishao pointed to the bowl in Ye Yaoyao's hand and said, "I plan to use this to study food."

"food?"

Mudun'er looked at the basin in Ye Yaoyao's hand, then at Meng Huaishao, and moved his mouth several times before he finally expressed his thoughts in a tactful way.

"Xiao Meng, there are a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain these days. You can go up the mountain with us to pick them. Sister Yaoyao is still young, so don't eat everything."

"Okay, if I want to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, I'll go with you."

Meng Huaishao nodded, and then he realized that Mu Dun'er was worried about him and Ye Yaoyao, worried that he would cook and eat the saltpeter, and he couldn't help laughing.

After all, under normal circumstances, prey is not available every day, and his family has no land, so it is possible that he is short of money and food.

There are abundant wild vegetables in spring and summer, so Mu Dun'er would not casually ask for food or anything.

Help in emergencies but not in poverty. In this season when people can still find food, we certainly cannot provide blind relief!

Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao lack everything, but they never lack food!

But Meng Huaishao would not be so foolish as to announce the effect of saltpeter right now.

Whether they believe it or not is secondary. I am just afraid that people outside will learn the recipe, and then selling cold drinks will have nothing to do with them.

At the very least, he had to ensure that in the first year, Ye Yaoyao's business would be unique!
