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

Put the peanuts at the bottom of the pot and roast them over low heat until dry. Do the same with the sesame seeds, fry until cooked, and then crush them together with the peanuts.

Take some more lard, melt it carefully, and mix it with the prepared ingredients.

The filling is ready and the hawthorn cake is cool.

Ye Chenming cut a small piece with a knife and let his sister taste it first.

Ye Qing took it, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly twice, "Brother, it's delicious, you should try it."

Seeing his sister's performance, Ye Chenming felt relieved. He cut a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted sour and sweet, and it was really delicious.

Ye Chenming does have some talent. With just a few words, he was able to develop hawthorn cake.

The two of them were more confident about the hawthorn cakes, so they cut the hawthorn cakes into small pieces, put them on a plate, and took them out for Li and Zhou to taste.

As expected, they received positive comments from the two people and went back to continue making hawthorn cakes.

Of course, Ye Chenming was the one who mainly did the cooking, and she was only responsible for lighting the fire and tasting the food.

After baking a few pancakes, Ye Chenming turned them over diligently. Both sides were baked until golden and exuded a fragrant aroma.

When the first one was cooked, he gave it to Ye Qing first. Ye Qing cut it into two pieces with a knife, and each of them had half.

When the hawthorn cakes cooled down, they took a quick bite. The aroma of wheat mixed with the fragrance of crushed peanuts, with a hint of sourness from hawthorn, was really delicious.

In the evening, everyone gathered around the table to eat hawthorn cakes and praised Ye Chenming again.

This child is really suitable to be a chef. He has the skills and can explore new recipes.

"Erlang, don't do this outside for now. When you finish learning and find a job, you will have your own unique skills."

Everyone agreed with what Old Man Ye said. Master Zheng's craftsmanship was excellent and his reputation had spread. He could make two fewer dishes without losing money.

Ye Jilang thought about it and agreed.

Just after dinner, Boss Ye spread a mat in the yard and everyone sat or lay down to chat.

"Brother, what do you want to do in the future?" Ye Qing asked Ye Dalang.

Ye Dalang thought for a while and said, "I don't have any big ideals. I just want to help my family earn more money. You can buy whatever you want in the future."

Zhou was very moved that her son was well-raised and knew how to care for his parents. "Da Lang, there is no shortage of food and drink at home. If you want to do anything, just tell your family. Your father is still at home, so don't feel pressured."

Boss Ye also had the same idea. As long as the children were fine, they would be happy even if they were a little tired.

The younger ones in the family were also very moved when they heard this, and they all said that they didn't need their eldest brother to support them and that they could earn money to buy what they wanted.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Chenming, "What about you, second brother? What do you want to do in the future?"

Ye Chenming has always had an idea in his mind, "I want to open a pastry shop and a restaurant in the future, so that more people can eat what I make."

Ye Qing felt that his second brother's idea was easy to realize. Just by selling roast duck, he could open a roast duck shop in the future.

Although the elders of the Ye family thought it was a little impossible, they did not spoil the fun and encouraged Ye Chenming to study hard.

Ye Chenjing looked at everyone and spoke out his thoughts. "I want to pass the imperial examination and become a good official in the future, so that things like fleeing from famine will never happen again."

"Sanlang, it's a good idea you have. As long as you can pass the exam, your family will let you continue your studies." Old man Ye looked at the little grandson of his eldest son and felt more hope in his heart.

"Qingya, what do you want to do?" Ye Chenjing turned the topic to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's thoughts have not changed. "I want to be a landlord's wife, have no worries about food and drink, sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and count money until my hands cramp."

This idea is very down-to-earth and everyone wants this.

"Go back to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow." Zhou urged the children.

Ye Chenming followed the ox cart back to the store, and Ye Qing helped spread out the peanut vines.

Ye Qing and Li sat in the shade, picking peanuts from the peanut vines, and then spread the picked peanuts on the ground to dry.

The yard, which has already been occupied by sweet potatoes, seems even smaller.

Zhou went to the village to find someone to help her make a quilt for Ye Dalang's wedding. It was green and red, and she needed to make three beds, one mattress and two quilts.

If the person making the quilt is a blessed person, with parents-in-law and children, this is also a good omen.

"Is sister-in-law home? Ye Qiu is about to give birth and I'm alone at home." Grandma Sun's anxious voice sounded outside the door.

Li was anxious and quickly stood up from the bench. "Big sister, is it hurting just now or has it been hurting for a while?"

"It just hurt. I waited for a while until it was okay, so I came to call you." After saying that, Grandma Sun walked back. She was worried about Ye Qiu being alone at home.

When Li heard the pain, she knew it would take a while. She asked Ye Qing to call her two daughters-in-law for help, and then go find a midwife in the village to help deliver the baby.

Ye Qing ran out, passed by his second and third aunt's houses, and called them to help.

After running to Mrs. Wang's house and catching his breath, he quickly explained the situation.

Mrs. Wang turned and went into the house, taking the things used for delivery, and followed Ye Qing to the Sun family.

When they were almost at the door, they saw Li and her two daughters-in-law going to help. "Qingya, go back. They don't need you there. Come back after the baby is born."

Ye Qing was also delivered by Wang Po, and the child grew up under her nose. She was worried that the little girl would be scared, so she sent her back home.

Ye Qing didn't insist. If she went, she would just cause trouble and would distract her grandmother from visiting her.

She turned around and went to find Zhou. With more people helping, things would be easier over there.

When Zhou heard the news, she hurried to Sun's house. She and Ye Qiu got along well, so how could she not go to such a big event as giving birth?

Ye Qing was alone at home and anxious, so he called Ye Xi to accompany him.

Ye Xi was already thirteen, and several younger brothers and sisters were born. She still remembered what to eat. She took Ye Qing to cook a meal for her aunt first, and then made some meals for the others.

I'll send it over later so they can have something to eat to fill their stomachs.

Ye Qing had never seen such a scene before, so she did whatever Ye Xi instructed.

When all the food was ready, they put it in baskets and went to deliver it.

When he was almost at the door, he saw Sun Dazhu coming back from delivering tofu. "Uncle, aunt is about to give birth, and the midwife has gone."

When Sun Dazhu left home in the morning, she was fine, but she was about to give birth. She took the food from the two people and rushed home.

The two returned home and continued cooking, and also had to cook for the people who were working in the fields.

Ye Xi didn't go back either. She waited for Ye Laoer to come back and called him to eat together.

When Old Man Ye and the others came back, there was still no news from the Sun family, and everyone was very anxious.

But there are only men and children at home now, so it is not convenient to go there, so I can only wait for news.

No one at home went out in the afternoon, and Old Man Ye sat directly at the door, staring eagerly in the direction of the Sun family.

Ye Qing and Ye Xi were also worried about Ye Qiu. They had no mood to do needlework, so they could only go feed the chickens, ducks and pigs at home to divert their attention.
