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

Ye Chenming knew that hawthorn was sour, he had just tasted it in the store a few days ago. Seeing his elder brother eating it sweetly, he thought that the sunshine here was good, the fruit was ripe, and it turned from sour to sweet.

Lin Wenxuan meant the same thing, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he could only look at Ye Dalang with a condemning look.

Ye Dalang was happy, "This is called sharing the blessing. Good things are good for you, brother is thinking of you."

Ye Qing hadn't thought that his brother had this side. He hadn't seen it at all from his appearance just now. He could have endured for so long in order to deceive everyone.

"Qingya, this one is too sour, should we still pick it?"

"Pick them and go back to make candied haws and cakes. Second brother, can you make hawthorn cakes?" Ye Qing tilted his head and looked at Ye Chenming.

Ye Chenming blushed a little, "Sister, Master has never taught me, and I have never seen him do it."

Ye Qing didn't care, "Then let's go back and do it ourselves, just in case we succeed."

Everyone was happy and gathered around the tree to pick the fruits skillfully.

Several people filled Ye Dalang's backpack and then Ye Chenming's backpack before stopping.

Then he put on the backpack and went to look for other food in the mountains and forests.

"Come and see, this hard bump covered with hair looks like a monkey's head." Ye Chenjing pointed at the fruit he had found and called his brothers and sisters to come and see.

After saying that, he tore off a little bit of skin and nibbled it a little bit with his teeth. As soon as it entered his mouth, his face was squeezed into a ball.

"It tastes bad, bitter and astringent."

Ye Qing leaned over to take a look. It was a kiwi fruit. Fifth Brother had eaten it before it was ripe, so it did taste good.

"Let's go, Qingya. Take this back. Even rabbits won't eat it." Ye Chenjing waved his hand and shouted to everyone to keep going.

"Brother, wait a little longer, let's take some back, maybe it will be delicious when it's ripe." Ye Qing couldn't say that he knew it would be sweet when it was ripe.

Ye Dalang thought this made sense, so he filled a backpack and asked Ye Chenjing to carry it.

Lin Wenxuan also picked half a basket and went back to cover them before eating. If they didn’t taste good, he would throw them away. He didn’t spend any money on them, so he didn’t feel bad about it.

The three of them walked for a while, and the sharp-eyed Ye Qing saw a field of jujube trees.

Ye Chenjing took two steps at a time and walked over. He had eaten this before, and it was sweet.

Without saying much, he picked the fruits and put them in Ye Qing's backpack.

Lin Wenxuan's basket was full, so he helped the Ye brothers and sisters pick the fruits. He stopped when the backpack was half full.

Jujubes cannot be stored. If you take too many of them home, they will rot in a few days.

Ye Dalang took a look at the sky and urged everyone to go back. They had to go out before dark. It would be easy to get lost in the mountains after dark.

Ye Qing had been to the mountain many times and was familiar with the road. He led everyone to change direction and head out.

I passed by a chestnut tree on the way and picked up half a basket.

"Sister Qingya, you carry the basket and I will carry the backpack. This backpack is too heavy." Lin Wenxuan took the initiative to carry the backpack.

Ye Qing saw that Lin Wenxuan was much taller than him, so he didn't rush to carry the basket. He picked up the basket and walked in front to lead the way.

We walked down the mountain road and arrived home just as the sun had set. The timing was just right.

Lin Wenxuan did not go home, but Doctor Lin had been invited home by Boss Ye to have dinner together in the evening.

Doctor Lin first took the pulse of Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li, saying they were both in good health. He then told them a few things to pay attention to in daily life before sitting down in the yard to chat.

When the children came in, the yard became lively. Doctor Lin came to the backpack and took a look.

"You have gained a lot today, hawthorn, kiwi and jujube. Eat more of them, it's good for your health."

Ye Chenjing asked in surprise, "Grandpa Lin, do you know this fluffy lump? It's bitter and astringent, and it doesn't taste good."

Doctor Lin laughed out loud, "Kiwi fruit can relieve thirst, relieve fever, and has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and removing dampness and expelling wind."

Everyone looked at Dr. Lin with admiration; they didn't expect he knew so much.

"You can keep it and eat it. When it softens, it won't be bitter anymore."

Ye Dalang took out a part of it and put the rest on the back seat. All the food that the family had recently picked up from the mountains was placed here.

Ye Qing was reflecting on himself. He thought he was the only one who knew people here, but he didn't expect that the people here were also knowledgeable.

You must be more careful next time. Don't be careless and let yourself be discovered just because you come from a thousand years later.

After we finished our meal, it was completely dark and there was no light on the road.

Ye Dalang held a torch and went to see the grandfather and grandson off. He also put some of the things he had picked up on the mountain today in a backpack and gave them to Doctor Lin.

When Ye Dalang came back, the Ye family, tired after a day's work, washed up and went to bed.

Ye Qing felt that she had just closed her eyes when she was awakened by the diligent big rooster. When she rubbed her eyes and left the room, Ye Chenjing was already reciting the lesson in circles.

Ye Qing was used to this scene, but every time he saw it, he admired his fifth brother even more.

Ye Qing took out the hawthorns he picked yesterday, washed them, and placed them in a bamboo basket to drain.

Then I went to the kitchen and steamed buns in the afternoon. There were many people in the family, so we had to steam buns every two days.

Ye Chenming also got up. Without disturbing Ye Chenjing, he washed up and went to make breakfast.

Looking at the porridge that Ye Qing had already cooked, he simply cut some pickled vegetables and breakfast was ready.

After dinner, the scholar went to the city first. Ye Qing took his brother to study the method of making hawthorn.

Ye Qing carefully cut off the two ends of the drained hawthorn with a knife, and then dug out the core.

Then I looked at the cleaned hawthorns and didn’t know what to do.

Ye Qing described the appearance of the hawthorn cake he had eaten before. Ye Chenming thought about it for a while, thinking about the steps his master usually took to make other cakes, and tried to make it.

First, boil the hawthorns and divide them into two halves. Cook one half and set the other half aside to cool.

Ye Chenming recalled his sister's idea, which was to eat something soft and delicate, with a jelly-like appearance.

He took the portion of hawthorn that had been cooked the longest, crushed it and put it in the pot to cook.

Ye Qing watched the hawthorn paste become thicker and thicker, and its appearance became more and more similar to what he had eaten before. He felt that this time it would definitely be successful.

"Brother, add some sugar. Didn't you say it's too sour?"

Ye Chenming took out sugar from the spice cabinet, glanced at Li, and quickly poured some into the pot.

After pouring it, Ye Qing took it quickly and put it back into the material cabinet.

He looked back at Li, who was still sewing clothes and didn't notice them. The two smiled at each other and continued to study the food.

When it’s almost cooked, pour it into a large bowl and set it aside to cool.

"Qingya, how are you going to eat the rest?"

Ye Qing thought about it, and the radish pie he dreamed of last night emerged in his mind, and he had an idea.

"Brother, can you use hawthorn as the filling and put some other delicious food in it and make it into pancakes?"

Ye Chenming was a little stumped, as he had never made this kind of filling before.

Ye Qing reminded, "It's just like the buns sold in the city. If you put a few more things in them, they will taste better."

Ye Chenming thought it made sense, so he searched in the kitchen and saw the peanuts that were harvested at home, so he took some out. He also saw sesame seeds and took some out as well.
