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

After half an hour, there was still no news, and Old Man Ye was so anxious that he was pacing outside the yard.

Several students came back, and Old Man Ye asked his two grandsons to finish their meal before going back.

My family is busy now and I don’t have time to cook for them.

When the two brothers of the Sun family heard that Ye Qiu was giving birth to a sister, they were very anxious. They ate a few bites and ran home.

"Sun Hang, go back and take a look, and come back to tell me what's going on later." Old Man Ye reminded from behind.

"Okay, Grandpa." The two children ran home.

"Boss, how long have the two children been away? Why haven't they come back yet?" Old man Ye was like an ant on hot pot, anxiously waiting for news.

"Dad, it won't take long, just the time of an incense stick." Boss Ye fetched water from the well and carried it to the backyard to feed the cows.

Old man Ye was anxious, so he took some willow branches and made a basket. Having something to do would help him spend more time.

Ye Qing was steaming buns and sending them to her aunt's house. She probably wouldn't have time to cook in the evening.

She also cooked millet porridge and steamed egg custard for Ye Qiu, so that he could eat something after the baby was born and then rest.

"Grandpa, my mother gave birth. Grandma asked me to tell you that my mother and sister are doing well." Sun Hang's voice was filled with excitement.

"Okay, okay, let your mother have a good rest." Old Man Ye was relieved. The buns were steamed and he was in the mood to eat.

Ye Qing put the food she made for her aunt and some buns in a basket and asked her cousin to take it back.

After a while, Li came back with her three daughters-in-law. The four of them had dry lips but smiles on their faces.

"His father, Qiu gave birth to a chubby daughter, which is what the Sun family wants." Li was sitting on a stool, drinking a glass of water in her hand.

Ye Qing and his elder brother helped to serve the food to others. After eating, they went to rest early as they were all exhausted after a whole day.

This can be considered a happy event in the family, and everyone is happy even if they are a little tired.

On the third day, the Sun family officially came to announce the good news and brought pork and brown sugar.

The Ye family accepted the gifts and decided to send porridge and rice on the full moon day.

A newborn baby is very fragile, and the custom in the village is to wait until the baby is one month old to see him.

The Sun family treated Ye Qiu well, and her parents were relieved, so they waited patiently for the day to pass the full moon.

On the full moon day, Li and her three daughters-in-law went to deliver rice porridge, a basket of steamed buns, and small clothes for the baby. Shen also brought a cradle made by Ye Laoer and a small cart.

The one-month-old baby has grown up. He is white, chubby and very cute.

Ye Qing lay beside and watched the little girl sleeping soundly. Her long eyelashes moved occasionally, which was very cute.

"Auntie, has the baby been named yet?"

"Yes, your uncle named him Sun Xiu." Ye Qiu looked at the child lovingly.

"Xiubao, I'm your elder sister. Grow up quickly and I'll take you out to play." Ye Qing said in a low voice.

Several adults looked at Ye Qing's childish appearance and burst into laughter.

After seeing the children, I took the red eggs that Grandma Sun brought back and shared them with my neighbors so that everyone could share in the joy.

The weather is getting colder, so you need to get up early and wear thick clothes because the village will soon start burning charcoal again.

Seeing that everyone in the family was busy, the second brother worked in the store until late every day for his own ideals.

The fifth brother gets up early to recite his lessons, and practices calligraphy before going to bed at night.

Ye Qing was a little confused. Could he realize his dream of becoming a landlord by raising rabbits?

The peanuts were dried and stored, but there was no room left in the cellar or the yard, so they could only be piled a little in each room.

Ye Qing sat at the door of the house, thinking about what he could do in the future.

Looking at the pile of sweet potatoes in the yard, an idea came to my mind.

Boss Ye was loading eggs into the car, ready to send it to the city.

Ye Qing stood up and walked over, "Dad, I'm going to the city with you. I have an idea. I want to go to the grocery store in the city."

Boss Ye loved his children very much. He asked Ye Qing to put on more clothes, cracked the whip, drove the mule, and left the house.

After delivering the eggs, Ye Qing and Ye Lao Da went to the grocery store in the city.

"Boss, where is this vermicelli produced? Is it made by us in Wu'an City?" Ye Qing asked as he picked up a handful of vermicelli.

"It's brought by the caravan outside. It's delicious and chewy. You can take some back with you." The grocery store owner introduced enthusiastically.

"I'm not here to buy vermicelli. I just want to ask if you buy them. We have just opened a workshop in our village." Ye Qing first came to the market to find a sales channel.

When the shopkeeper heard that he was not here to buy vermicelli, his smile faded. But when he heard that he was here to make vermicelli, he became interested again.

"Bring some to see, if the quality is good and the price is right, we can talk."

Boss Ye was very surprised by what his daughter said, but he did not criticize her in front of outsiders.

After leaving the shop, Boss Ye couldn't help but ask his daughter, "Qingya, there is no vermicelli in the village, how could you cheat them?"

"Dad, I'm here to find a market. If anyone wants to buy it, I'd like to open one."

"Qingya, no one in the family can do this." Boss Ye's face was full of worry.

"Dad, do you remember that on the road, I gave a steamed bun to an old man with a child, and I accompanied him for a while. He told me in detail to thank me." Ye Qing made up an excuse casually. In fact, she learned it when she worked in the vermicelli factory to earn tuition.

Boss Ye still had a worried look on his face. He felt that it was not very reliable to open a workshop just by listening to it.

Ye Qing looked at Boss Ye, who seemed to want to say something but was not sure how to start. He then said, "Dad, I will find three or four people and start a small business first. If the business is good, we can expand it."

Boss Ye was relieved. There were only a few people and not much to do. If the products could not be sold, they could be divided among the families, which would be a way to support the children.

After visiting several stores, Ye Qing concluded that he should go for the strategy of selling at low prices but in large quantities.

First build up your reputation, then slowly increase the variety.

After returning home, Ye Qing got busy. First he decided where to open the workshop, then he looked for people.

There is definitely no room at home, and building another house would be too expensive and not cost-effective.

Ye Qing took Wangcai to walk around the village, looking for a suitable place. However, Kaoshan Village was newly built and there was no idle yard at all.

Ye Xi and Ye Xiang heard that Ye Qing was going to open a workshop, so they came to visit Ye Qing and help him with some ideas.

Hearing Ye Qing's question, Ye Xiang's eyes turned and he thought of a suitable place.

"Qingya, the backyard of the meeting hall has never been used. If there is anything going on in the village, it's in the front."

Ye Qing recalled the layout of the courtyard and the place for meetings. At that time, it was a two-story house.

It’s just that there’s not much to do in the village now, so it won’t be used later.

In the second entrance of the meeting hall, there are several empty rooms, which can also be used as warehouses.

Ye Qing jumped up from the bench and said, "Sister, you really helped me a lot. I will go ask the village head right away."

Ye Qing went to the village head's house in a flash, "Grandpa Village Head, he's at home."

"Qingya is here. Are you here to ask about charcoal making? Choose a good day and start work in five days." The head of the village thought that Ye Qingya was here to care about charcoal making.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I'm not here for this matter. I'm here to ask if the house behind the meeting hall is available for rent. I want to rent it and open a vermicelli workshop."
