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

"Erlang, what did you say to grandpa? It's so late, where is your grandpa going?" Boss Ye was worried that Old Man Ye had gone too far, so he was falling in the dark.

"Grandpa went to my second uncle's house next door, he didn't go far."

Ye Lao Da is no longer worried, because Ye Lao Er's house is next door, and if he comes back late, the second brother will send him back.

The bones I bought two days ago were put in the well water to cool down, waiting for the children to come back and eat them together. The aroma of pork bones came from the kitchen, and Wangcai and Heizi lay at the door, looking at Zhou eagerly.

Ye Erlang picked up the two puppies, stroked them twice, and smiled with satisfaction. Wangcai and Heizi were well-fed and smooth, and they felt very comfortable to touch.

The two puppies struggled to get down, their hearts in their bones, and they didn't even bother guarding the gate.

"Qingya, I heard that you made roast duck. Make it again tomorrow. I want to eat it, too." Ye Erlang is already sixteen years old. Many people of this age have already married and had children, but he has only grown taller and has no intention of getting married. He is still like a child, playing and frolicking with his younger brothers and sisters.

"Kill a few ducks tomorrow and learn from me while I roast them." Zhou said she would make it again these past two days, but she just didn't have the time.

"Erlang, go pick up your grandfather. He hasn't come back yet so late. We can eat soon." Boss Ye drank some water for a while, but he didn't see Old Man Ye come back yet, so he felt a little anxious.

Ye Erlang agreed and stood up to walk out. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Uncle Ye coming in behind Old Man Ye.

"Uncle, come in quickly. My father was just talking about you."

"Erlang, is what your grandfather said true?" Uncle Ye couldn't help but ask before entering the house.

"Sit in Uncle's room and listen to me."

Ye Qing didn't quite understand what was being said, so he quickly went to the kitchen to pour a few cups of water, brought them to the main room, and sat down to listen.

Wu Ping, the most famous carpenter in Wu'an City, is recruiting workers. And it's not just ordinary recruitment. He is recruiting people with carpentry skills.

"Erlang, do you know him? Let Sanlang give it a try. If he is selected, he can learn a few skills and support himself." Ye Laoer is a carpenter and knows the importance of Wu Ping in the carpentry industry.

"I just found out that he is my master's brother-in-law. This time he is nominally recruiting workers, but in fact it is a part-time job and half-apprenticeship. If he does a good job, he will be accepted as a disciple." Ye Erlang told the news he knew.

Ye Lao Er became even more excited, "When does it start? I'll take your brother to try it out."

"Uncle, the master told me this when I came back. He knows you are good at carpentry and thinks our child is literate and hardworking, so he is willing to give Sanlang a chance to meet him."

"Good boy, no matter whether Sanlang is elected or not, let him remember your kindness."

"Uncle, we are all family, there is no need to be like this." Ye Erlang thought it was a small matter, he was just saying it, and it was up to Ye Sanlang to get the details.

"When are we going over? Should we go to your place first?" Uncle Ye confirmed carefully.

"I will take two days off this time. Let Sanlang go to the city with me. Or the day after tomorrow you can drive the ox cart to the store early in the morning to wait for my master, and let my master take you there."

"Let's go there early in the morning. I'm worried about Sanlang going by himself." Uncle Ye has two sons and one daughter. Sanlang Ye Chencong works with him at home, and Liulang Ye Chenze goes to school.

I have always wanted to help Sanlang find a master to learn from. My skills are average. I can help with some work in the village, but I am not good at higher-end work.

Uncle Ye wanted to know more clearly, and since dinner had just been prepared at home, he invited him to eat with him before leaving.

Ye Qing felt that the third brother didn't need to be nervous, and Master Wu still wanted to find someone who could help him. The furniture in Kaoshan Village and Ji Village was made by Uncle Ye and Ye Sanlang. Now they can make furniture skillfully and quickly.

Uncle Ye chatted for a while after dinner before going back to discuss with Shen.

When the kids got up in the morning, they came back from exercise and the sun was just rising.

Ye Erlang first caught the five fattest ducks, and then released the others to find food.

Ye Erlang killed the duck skillfully and finished it in a short while.

Ye Qing evenly spread the ingredients on the surface, and then marinated them for two hours. He put them in the kitchen, put them in a vegetable basket and hung them on the wall.

The two of them had nothing to do at home, so they took their baskets and went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. Passing by Master Gu's yard, they stood at the door and looked inside. It was already tidy.

The two looked at each other and continued walking up the mountain. After taking two steps, they heard footsteps coming from behind.

Ye Qing looked back and saw the woman who was sitting on the ox cart yesterday. Ye Qing took the initiative to greet her and invited her to go pick wild vegetables together.

The woman saw Ye Erlang standing next to her and said, "I'm not going to the mountain. I'm just familiar with the village. Can you take my son with you to pick wild vegetables? We just arrived and don't know where to go up the mountain in the village. You can just call me aunt."

"Aunt, it's OK. My name is Ye Qing, and this is my second brother Ye Chenming."

A boy of about six or seven years old appeared at the door. "Gu He, these are your brothers and sisters from the Ye family. Go get a basket and go dig some wild vegetables with us."

Gu He agreed, ran home, took the basket, followed Ye Qing, and went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.

Gu He is a lively and cheerful person, but he just arrived yesterday and was a little out of place, so he didn't say anything.

The three of them got to know each other better, and Gu He talked more along the way. Ye Qing also knew that he had learned the Analects, and Gu Changfeng had been teaching him to read at home.

Gu He is a reliable man. He digs the wild vegetables he knows by himself and doesn't need Ye Qing's help.

The three of them each took a basket of wild vegetables down the mountain. Ye Erlang wanted to help carry it, but Gu He wouldn't let him. "Brother Ye, I'm a man, I don't need your help."

The two had a better impression of the Gu family. Their children were so well educated and they were a decent family.

When they got home, the duck had already been marinated. Ye Qing asked his second brother to help light the oven, put hot water in the duck, close the oven door, and slowly roast it.

With Ye Erlang at home, Ye Qing felt much more relaxed and only needed to move his mouth.

Ye Erlang is talented in cooking. After baking the first batch, he has basically mastered the baking method.

The duck at the back was roasted by him himself, and it looked 70% similar to Ye Qing's.

"Qingya, it smells so good. I've never seen the chef cook it before. You are really good." Ye Erlang took a bite after the first duck was roasted.

All five ducks were roasted. The first few ducks went to three uncles' families, each getting half a duck, and the others to two uncles' families, each getting half a duck as well.

"Erlang, go deliver it to your aunt's house. Come back quickly for dinner." Mrs. Li put the cut half duck on a plate and urged her grandson.

Ye Erlang agreed and trotted to the Sun family.

"Aunt, I brought you roast duck."

Ye Qiu heard his nephew's voice and came out. Before he could say anything, a fishy smell hit him in the face. Ugh~
