Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Qingxuan sent Li Mengyue to three miles away from Xinghua Village, and Li Mengyue sent someone back.

She is a mother now and cannot have anything happen between her and a man.

On the way home, I saw Li standing outside the door, looking out, waiting for her daughter.

When Li Mengyue saw this scene, she walked faster and faster.

"Yueyue, mother made chicken soup for you. Drink it while it's hot to replenish your body." Li asked softly when she saw her daughter.

"Mom, the baby is still young, so he doesn't need to eat too much to replenish his body."

"Okay, okay, just drink one bowl."

Mrs. Li originally wanted her daughter to drink two bowls, but after hearing what Li Mengyue said, she let her drink only one bowl.

After Li Mengyue finished drinking the chicken soup, she wanted to eat the soft and tender tofu.

Speaking of tofu, she has been here for a while, but she has never seen anyone selling tofu.

"Mom, let's make some tofu."

"Tofu? What is tofu?" Li asked, not understanding.

"Mom, this is a white and tender food, haven't you seen it before?"

Li shook his head.

Seeing Li's confused look, Li Mengyue was certain that no one here had made tofu yet, which meant that if she made tofu, it would be unique.

But soybeans are indispensable for making tofu.

So Li Mengyue thought of the three acres of land that her family had allocated, where she planted soybeans.

Just do it when you think of it. Li Mengyue put aside her job and prepared to go to the three acres of land at the foot of the mountain.

They all went to the edge of the soybean field and saw that the soybean pods were ripe. If they were not harvested, the soybeans would fall out of the pods and onto the ground.

The three acres of land used to grow soybeans were wasteland reclaimed by Li Ang. It had little fertility and the yield of the soybeans planted was not high.

It can be seen from the sparse soybean pods that not many soybeans can be harvested from three acres of land.

But soybeans are really good things. They can be used to make tofu, as well as soy milk, tofu pudding, yuba, bean sprouts, natto, and soybean sauce, etc.

In addition, it can also be used as a side dish to make delicious dishes such as stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, braised eggplant with soybeans, and braised pork with soybeans.

Thinking of this, Li Mengyue suddenly felt hungry again.

I went home immediately and asked someone to collect the soybeans.

It’s just that my father is currently leading people to plant trees on the hill and can’t get away, so it seems we need to hire someone else.

Before I got home, I ran into the village chief.

"Girl Yue, you also went to the field to catch locusts. No, you didn't bring a catching net or a small bamboo basket."

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm going to my family's three acres of land."

"Oh! I wonder what Li Gui planted on those three acres of land."

After Village Chief Li finished speaking, he started talking angrily again without waiting for Li Mengyue to respond.

"Li Gui is too partial. Your father worked so hard in the Li family's old house, but in the end, he only gave him three acres of dry land, and it was barren land at that."

Li Mengyue was happy to see the village chief standing up for her father.

"Grandpa Village Chief, the division of the family is a thing of the past. There is no need to mention it again. I have something to talk to you about."

"Girl Yue, whatever's the matter, just tell the village chief."

"Grandpa Village Chief, I think the soybeans in the field are ready to be harvested. Can you help me find a few people? Ten cents a day."

"Sure, I don't care. If you don't mind, I can call someone for you right away. There are still many young and strong people in our village who have not gone to the mountains to plant trees. They are all catching locusts in the fields."

After the village chief finished speaking, he turned around and went to look for someone.

But after taking just one step, he stepped back and couldn't help but ask, "Yue girl, what do you think is planted in the field, soybeans?"

"Yes, it's soybeans."

The village chief nodded and said to himself, "Soybeans, what are soybeans? I've never heard of them."

Li Mengyue didn't take the village chief's monologue seriously. She really didn't know. No one in the village knew what crops were growing in the fields.

After the soybeans were harvested, she made tofu with the soybeans, which again surprised the village chief.

The next day, the village chief found a dozen young men and gathered three acres of soybeans. In just one day, they not only harvested the soybeans from the fields, but also dried them in the threshing yard.

The weather is clear and the scorching sun is burning the earth.

The thin layers of soybeans spread out on the threshing floor were dried in just one day.

After pulling the soybeans home, Li Mengyue began to pick and soak the soybeans in preparation for making tofu.

"Yueyue, tell mommy that I will help you choose."

Li Mengyue didn't want to do it in the first place, but since her mother asked for help, she naturally didn't refuse.

Tell my mother that she just needs to pick out the bad beans and impurities, and then pour the good soybeans into the water.

As the temperature is relatively high now, Li Mengyue does not plan to soak the soybeans for six hours. After all, if the temperature is too high, bacteria can easily over-multiply, causing the soybeans to deteriorate and lose their taste, making them unusable for making tofu.

The day before yesterday, Li Mengyue solved the soybean problem, and the next step is the stone mill.

"Mom, do you know who has a millstone?"

"Girl Yue, I have some at home. Whenever you need it, I'll ask Li Yan to bring it to you."

Li Yanniang was squatting on the ground, cleaning locusts. When she heard Li Mengyue asking about Li's stone mill, she immediately responded.

Her family has a small stone mill, which is not used very often. It is just right to give it to the Li family for use.

"Okay, thank you Aunt Li."

"Oh, why are you being so polite to Aunt Li?"

Li Yan's mother washed the locusts in her hands, went to the mountain to call Li Yan back home, and went to move the stone mill.

It took almost half an hour for Li Yan to come to Li's house carrying a small stone mill.

"Aunt Li, look where the millstone is."

Before Li Yan came, Li had picked the soybeans and soaked them in water.

"Li Yan, just put it on the right side of the yard."

Li Yan followed Li's request, put down the stone mill and walked out the door. He also had to go to the mountain to plant trees.

Not only could he earn fifteen yuan a day by planting trees, but he would also get two meals. With such a good job, of course he would work hard.

Next time the Li family is looking for someone to do a job, they should think of me.

"Li Yan, wait a minute."

Li Mengyue heard Li Yan coming to deliver the millstone in the room, so she came out and called him.

"What's wrong, Mengyue."

“Carry baskets of fried locusts up the mountain and share them with everyone.”

"This, this is not good!"

"What's wrong with that? Just move there."

Li Mengyue noticed when she went to the mountain that although her family provided two meals a day, they did not provide breakfast. Therefore, people who went to the mountain to plant trees did not eat in the morning and waited for lunch with empty stomachs.

She set two meals a day, just two meals, which could not be easily changed. However, it was no problem to ask Li Yan to bring some fried locusts to fill everyone's stomach.

Li Yan didn't feel anything when he delivered the millstone, but when Li Mengyue asked him to move the locusts, his stomach started to sing the empty city plan.

"Gululu...Gululu..."

Although he knew that fifteen cents was already a lot of wages, he still subconsciously followed Li Mengyue's instructions and moved a basket of fried locusts.

Li Yan's mother was dumbfounded when she saw her silly son actually carried a basket of locusts.

"Yue girl, my sons and his friends get paid a lot every day, so there's no need to feed them fried locusts. You still need to save the money to make money."

"Auntie Li, these fried locusts are nothing, you don't have to take it to heart."

Seeing that Li Mengyue didn't care much, Li Yan's mother stopped trying to persuade her. After all, her son also needed to eat.

However, Li Mengyue's action made Li Yan's mother admire her even more, and she secretly made up her mind.

From now on, no matter what Li Mengyue says or what she is asked to do, she will not say a word and will firmly protect Li Mengyue.

Li Mengyue didn’t know she had gained a die-hard fan yet, and was thinking about what delicious food to make with the tofu after it was ready.
