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

Ye Qing looked at it for a while and gave some instructions on a few more questions. Seeing that there were no more problems, he cut some grass on the roadside and brought it home to feed the sheep.

The lamb given by his uncle was left at home to be raised, and Old Man Ye bought a few more to raise together.

Li was worried that Wei Xin would not have enough milk after having a child, so she fed the sheep first and saved the milk for the child.

The calves at home not only drink milk, but also eat some grass. There is a lot of milk left every day. Ye Qing looked at it greedily, she wanted to drink milk.

Zhou was a doting mother, and after listening to her daughter, she asked Boss Ye to milk the cows early in the morning.

The first time the milk was cooked and served, Ye Chenjing had just finished reciting the book, and his mind was groggy. He sat down at the table, picked up the bowl, took a sip, and his mind was instantly clear.

"Ugh~ What is this? It smells so fishy. Ugh~" After saying that, he ran to the yard and rinsed his mouth several times. There was still a fishy smell.

Li took the freshly picked pepper leaves, washed them and gave them to Ye Chenjing. After chewing them for a while, the disgusting taste in his mouth disappeared.

Ye Qing silently retracted his hand that was about to hold the bowl, took a pancake and ate it with relish.

The other people in the family tacitly did not touch the milk on the table and ate other things.

Zhou took the milk on the table back to the kitchen. Ye Chenjing wanted to vomit when he saw the milk.

"Mother, try adding some ginger. Ginger can remove the fishy smell."

Zhou thought about it and it made sense. When cooking meat, ginger can remove the fishy smell.

I did it right away. I cut half a piece of ginger, cut it into thin slices, and put it in the pot to boil.

After boiling, the fishy smell is much less, but it can still be smelled.

"Mom, add some honey, it will be sweet and not have any fishy taste." Ye Qing remembered the half jar of honey left at home.

Zhou carefully took out the honey jar, scooped out a little with a spoon, and stirred it in the milk.

"Qingya, take a bite and try the flavor."

"I just ate a piece of candy, but I couldn't taste it. I asked Fifth Brother to try it. He just drank it, so he will definitely be able to compare the taste."

Zhou understood her daughter's little thoughts, she didn't dare to taste it, and called her younger son.

"Mom, what are you calling me about?" Ye Chenjing stood at the door of the kitchen, blocking the light from outside with his body.

"Wulang, come quickly and try this honey water. I forgot to remove the fishy smell just now, but it works this time." Zhou smiled lovingly.

Ye Chenjing's face was full of resistance. It was too unpalatable. He had never drunk anything so unpalatable in his life.

"Brother, come quickly, it smells so good. This is mother's painstaking effort, milk can help you grow taller."

Ye Qing's words made Ye Chenjing less resistant. He was indeed not that tall, and it was because he did not eat enough when he fled the famine, so he grew slowly now.

He walked over slowly, thinking about it, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

"Hey, it's indeed not fishy anymore, and it has a sweet and fragrant taste." After saying that, he took another big sip.

Ye Qing served himself a bowl, put it under his nose and smelled it, it had the fragrance of honey.

After taking a sip, the sweet milky aroma bloomed in my mouth, without any fishy smell.

"Mom, you drink it too, it's really delicious."

Thinking of the milk tea I drank before, I said, "Mom, let's try boiling tea leaves and adding honey tomorrow."

Zhou then served another bowl to Old Man Ye and Li, brought it into the house, and urged them to drink it.

It is good for the elderly to drink some milk. In modern terms, it means replenishing calcium.

There was a lot of food in the pot, and half of it was left after I finished drinking it.

Ye Qing took out the shredded ginger, mixed the flour with the milk that had been deodorized, added some sugar, and waited for the flour to rise before making milk steamed buns.

While waiting for the dough to ferment, Ye Qing went to the workshop. A batch of goods were supposed to be shipped out today, and the caravan came to take them away.

When I arrived at the workshop door, I heard a lot of noise inside.

"Your vermicelli has been cut and packed. Now it weighs two kilograms per bundle. Let it dry in the sun on the way. When we get to the destination, the weight will be less. How are we going to explain it?"

Ye Xuan explained, "No, when we were packing, we put in an extra pound or two, just in case something like what you said happened."

"You say it's a lot, but I didn't bring a scale with me. What if you cheat me?"

"We have a scale in our workshop. I'll weigh it for you." Ye Xuan asked Tietou to get the scale.

"Who knows if your own scales have been tampered with?"

"Then do you have a scale with you? It's the same if you use yours." Ye Xuan said good-temperedly.

"Why should I bring a scale when I come to buy things? I don't care, just give me another fifty kilograms."

Ye Qing heard everything outside and walked into the house.

"Shopkeeper Chen, we are both old businessmen, and you know that Yipinxiang always gives generous portions. We can give you these fifty kilograms to try, but if you say there is a problem with the scale, we can't give you these fifty kilograms. This concerns the reputation of our Yipinxiang." Ye Qing could see that he was here to make trouble.

"Manager Ye, why are you here? I didn't see you when I came in just now, and I thought you were not here." Manager Chen looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Chen. Whether I'm here or not, our portions will be fine."

"Yes, yes, I misunderstood." He knew that Ye Xuan was easy to talk to, but Ye Qing was very principled and would not change his decision once it was made.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Chen no longer pestered him, Ye Qing politely asked the people in the workshop to help load the goods.

After seeing off Shopkeeper Chen, they called Ye Xuan and Tietou into the accounting office.

"Brother Ye Xuan, your attitude today is a bit too easy to talk to. You need to be straightforward when doing business. You can't give in to them in everything. You need to be tough when necessary."

Ye Xuan touched his nose and quickly admitted his mistake. "Qingya, I will be more careful next time. I usually cooperate with Manager Chen many times. This time I only thought about maintaining the relationship and forgot to maintain the reputation of Yipinxiang."

Ye Qing knew whether it was a problem with Ye Xuan's character or his inner inferiority complex that made him subconsciously praise the other person when speaking.

"Brother Ye Xuan, you are the manager of Yipinxiang. You need to be tough and not harm the interests of the workshop." Ye Qing gave him another chance. If he still behaved like this, she would consider changing someone else to be in charge.

Ye Xuan lowered his head in deep thought. He wanted to change the way he handled things so as not to bring any losses to Yipinxiang.

Ye Qing watched Ye Xuan realize his problem and went to talk to Tietou again.

"Brother Tietou, your job is to receive the caravan that comes to buy vermicelli. Why did you let Ye Xuan host them this time?"

Tietou was a little nervous. His serious sister scared him.

"Shopkeeper Chen is not easy to talk to, so I thought of asking Brother Ye Xuan to help me."

"It's hard to talk. You should find out what Shopkeeper Chen cares about or what he is worried about. You can't always rely on others."

Ye Qing watched the two realize their mistakes and asked them to go back and think about it carefully, then picked up the account book and started looking at it again.

This month, the business of Fucheng has caught up with that of Yangcheng. However, the population of Yangcheng is still too small, only one-fourth the size of Fucheng.

Speaking of the provincial capital, why hasn't Tian San come back yet? He must have encountered something on the way.

Normally a caravan would take half a month to make a round trip, but it has been twenty days and they still haven't returned.

Ye Qing plans to go to the city tomorrow to ask if the caravan that went with them has returned.
