After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Ye Qing covered his mouth and smiled, "Uncle didn't lie to you, did he? I'll bring you some later. When you cook, add some and there won't be any fishy smell."

Ye Qing turned around and went to the kitchen, wrapped some food in paper, about enough for two servings, and gave it to Boss Wei.

The others didn’t give it, as they didn’t buy much this time.

Boss Wei gave the money to Old Man Ye, who took it without any hesitation. When everyone left in the evening, he took out a portion of it and handed it over to the government.

"Dad, we don't want this money. You can keep it for yourself and give it to us when our family is in trouble in the future." Zhou didn't want to take the money from the old couple. They were old and they would not be worried if they had money.

Li had given it to Zhou several times, but Zhou refused, so she finally accepted it.

Looking at the scene of loving mother and filial son, Ye Qing sighed in his heart that he still had to make money. With money in hand, he could solve most of the conflicts.

The people who helped to slaughter the pigs left, and Zhou didn't give them any pork. Each of them raised pigs, and they would slaughter pigs in the next few days, and they would go to help when the pigs were slaughtered.

In the following days, Ye Qing was able to eat delicious pig-killing dishes every day, and his face became rounder.

Several scholars started to rest on the 20th of the lunar year. Boss Ye discussed with several families and decided to bring New Year gifts when he went to pick them up, and also asked about their study performance.

A few people took ten pounds of pork, two hens, two rabbits, bought some cakes, and went to the city.

Several people first gave the things to Master Jiang, "Master Jiang, how are the children doing in the private school? Are they not naughty?"

Master Jiang likes these students very much. "They are all serious and hardworking. Ye Chenyu is the youngest and has a poor foundation, but he studies the hardest every day."

Uncle Ye smiled, bowed and thanked Master Jiang.

A few people asked about each child's performance before taking the children back home satisfied. As long as the children cherish the learning opportunity, they will support them in their studies even if they have to sell everything they have.

Master Zheng will deliver it later, and Ye Erlang won't be on vacation until the 28th. Send it three or four days in advance.

The children came home and the house became lively. Zhou cooked different kinds of food every day.

Especially when frying meatballs, the whole family gets up early in the morning and the children chop radish filling.

Boss Ye peeled the potatoes, Old Man Ye helped cut them into long strips, and Zhou and Li prepared the seasoning.

After the potatoes were cut, Zhou boiled some hot water, put the potato strips in, and cooked them until they were half done, then took them out and put them in cold water.

The radish is first cut into shreds and then minced, then add flour, salt and seasoning.

Now you can heat the oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, squeeze the radish balls into balls and fry them in the pan.

Ye Qing and the fifth brother squatted at the door of the kitchen, staring at the meatballs in the pot. They didn't dare to speak, because they would be scolded if they talked nonsense while frying meatballs.

The first pot of meatballs was ready. The two watched as the eldest brother took two plates in, filled them up, and placed them on the table in the main room.

Boss Ye lit incense and bowed before coming out of the main hall. This was for the ancestors. Ye Qing and Ye Chenjing continued to wait eagerly, and they could eat the second pot.

The two felt that the second pot took particularly long to fry, and their appetite was aroused.

It was finally fried, Ye Chenjing rushed in with the prepared plate, put the food on the plate and brought it out.

"Wulang, send it to your grandfather first." Zhou ordered in the kitchen.

"Okay mom, let's eat together."

Ye Chenjing called Old Man Ye, and the three of them sat in the yard, eating one by one. The freshly fried meatballs were soft and fragrant, and they couldn't stop eating.

"Grandpa, these meatballs are delicious and not salty. Eat more."

"Good kids, eat more too."

Ye Qing went to pour three cups of water, and in a short while, the plate of meatballs was gone.

Everyone had almost finished eating. The meatballs were very greasy and eating too much made people feel uncomfortable.

"Wulang, come here and pack some meatballs and send some to your grandfather. They taste best when they are freshly made." Li was thinking about her in-laws.

When Ye Qing and Ye Chenjing sent it over, grandpa came in from outside with his hands behind his back. "Grandpa, my family made fried meatballs today. I'll send some for you to try."

"You eat by yourselves, and yet you still think about us." Grandpa was worried that his daughter's family didn't cook enough.

"Grandpa fried a lot at home, you can try some while they're hot."

Grandpa invited several grandchildren to come and eat together, "Your aunt's family sent some fried meatballs, come and try them together. When we fry some tomorrow, we will also send some fried fish to your aunt's family."

Grandma ate two and then stopped, "Qingya, your mother's cooking skills have improved. It tastes better than before."

"Grandma, we added a few more ingredients this year, which makes it different from before."

The two played with their cousins ​​for a while before reluctantly going back home. When they got home, the potatoes were ready. They rubbed their bulging stomachs and ate another big bowl.

They were so full that they didn't even have lunch.

After frying the meatballs, Boss Ye began to prepare a New Year gift for Master Zheng. It was similar to the one for Master Jiang, except that he added two pairs of little white rabbits for Master Zheng's children to play with.

Boss Ye prepared another portion for Master Liu, which was a little thinner than Master Zheng's, and brought some sweet potatoes, two chickens, and some cakes.

Huzi's portion was not small either, he brought some pumpkin, sweet potato, radish and cabbage. The food for Huzi was very practical, as the residents in the city didn't have land at home and had to buy vegetables, so these were just right.

Early in the morning, Boss Ye went out and went to Hu Zi's house to put down the vegetables.

After all, Hu Zi was just a gatekeeper, and it would be bad if others saw him. Hu Zi also helped them a lot, so it would be nice to show some appreciation.

Master Liu's family's food was also delivered to his home. When Boss Ye went there, Master Liu had already left.

"Auntie, I'm Ye Wenning from Kaoshan Village. Master Liu knows me. He introduced a pastry chef to my son. I've put my things down and I'm leaving first."

Master Liu's mother was at home alone. "Come in and sit down. I'll ask someone to call my son."

"No need, Auntie. Just tell Master Liu tonight. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Boss Ye put the things in the house and went to Master Zheng's shop. Master Zheng opened his own shop, so it didn't matter where he took the things.

"Master Zheng, thank you for teaching Erlang. Erlang's progress is obvious."

"Brother Ye, you are too polite. I like Erlang very much. He is capable and can concentrate on his work. I feel much more relaxed since Erlang came." With Ye Erlang's help in the store, he can slowly teach his son. When his son grows up and Ye Erlang has learned well, he can help him or go out to work on his own, and he will be able to handle the work himself.

The two chatted for a while, said hello to Ye Erlang, and agreed to pick him up in the evening of the 27th, and drove the ox cart to buy New Year's goods.
