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

Ye Qing did not take credit for it and asked him to go find the head of the village and they would discuss the specific content of the work.

Now that the work in the workshop was finished, she had time to go home and rest.

I was just surprised by the duck eggs pickled in the backyard cellar, and now there are three more jars.

Each person in the family had one chicken egg per day, but they replaced it with one duck egg a day. Ye Qing wanted to vomit when he saw the duck eggs.

"Boss, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, buy some glutinous rice." Li remembered to make rice dumplings.

"I'll go buy some tomorrow, and also buy some food for the family for the holidays." Boss Ye was more thoughtful.

After hearing this, Ye Qing remembered that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon. He was so busy that he forgot about this matter.

"Dad, please buy some more glutinous rice, 200 kilograms first. I want to try salty rice dumplings." The people in Kaoshan Village used to eat candied date rice dumplings and had never eaten salty rice dumplings.

Boss Ye had never eaten salty rice dumplings. In the past two years, he was busy eating his fill and had no time to think about eating well.

This year Ye Qing has some free time, so he wants to study food and try different flavors.

I also asked Boss Ye to bring back some pork belly. The rice dumplings leaves were easy to get, as there were plenty of them by the river behind.

There is no shortage of money at home, and we will satisfy the children's wishes for food without leaving any regrets.

Boss Ye went out early in the morning and came back at noon. He not only brought the raw materials for making rice dumplings, but also bought gifts to give as gifts.

Ye Qing first soaked the glutinous rice, then cut the pork belly and marinated it with soy sauce and other ingredients.

Then I took some salted duck eggs from the backyard and took out the yolks for later use.

Ye Dalang helped pick two or three pounds of rice dumpling leaves, and Zhou washed them.

Boil it in hot water for a while, then soak it in cold water. This way the rice dumplings leaves will not crack.

Everything was ready. Wei Xin asked Ye Dalang to help move a high stool to the kitchen, and started making rice dumplings with Ye Qing.

"Qingya, are salty rice dumplings delicious? Will I be unable to eat them?" After Wei Xin became pregnant, her appetite changed. The things she used to like, she no longer liked.

"Sister-in-law, it must be delicious. It has both meat and eggs, how can it be bad?"

Wei Xin thought it made sense and started making rice dumplings following Ye Qing’s method.

First put two spoonfuls of glutinous rice mixed with soy sauce, then put a piece of marinated meat, then a duck egg yolk, then another spoonful of glutinous rice, finally tie it up and put it in the pot to steam.

The two of them were busy for an hour, wrapping up a large pot of stuffing and putting it in the pot to steam.

Ye Qing put firewood at the bottom of the pot and went to do other things. He only needed to come over occasionally to add some firewood.

After an hour, the aroma of rice dumplings began to waft through the yard.

It was also Ye Qing’s first time making this, and he was worried that the meat might not be cooked through, so he steamed it for another half an hour.

The rice dumplings were out of the pot, and Ye Chenjing and his friends came back.

As soon as they walked into the alley, they smelled the fragrance. Instead of going home, several people came to Ye’s house, waiting to eat delicious food.

Several families living nearby came over to ask what was being cooked. It smelled so good that the children at home were so greedy that they cried.

Ye Qing did not hide anything and promoted the salty rice dumplings he made, saying that he would send two to them to try after they were ready.

A lot of rice dumplings were made today, so Zhou cooked porridge and some vegetables and sat at two tables.

Ye Qing was not sure how the salty rice dumpling was made, so he peeled one first, took a bite carefully, and chewed it carefully. A meaty aroma wafted into his nose.

"Grandma, please try it. This is delicious. The glutinous rice has a meaty aroma. It's very tasty." Ye Qing peeled one and handed it to Li.

Li took it happily, enjoying her granddaughter's thoughtfulness.

Wei Xin, who is a cautious person, reminded everyone, "The ones with red strings don't have duck eggs, and the ones with white strings have duck eggs."

Ye Chenjing first took the one with a white string, peeled it open and took a big bite, eating the meat accurately.

The meat in the rice dumpling is tender and fresh. When you take a bite, you can feel it melting in your mouth, which is intoxicating.

Most people in the family like the taste of egg yolk and meat dumplings, but when Ye Chenyu took a bite, the fishy smell rushed to his head and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit.

Seeing Ye Chenyu's uncomfortable look, Ye Qing quickly took a steamed bun and handed it to him. It would be better in a while to suppress the taste in his mouth.

Ye Qing gave the rice dumpling to Wangcai and Heizi and divided it into two halves. They ate it with gusto.

Ye Qing persuaded his seventh brother to try the rice dumplings, which were also delicious without duck egg yolks.

Ye Chenyu took one with some doubt and put it carefully into his mouth. The taste was really different and he liked it very much.

There were many people eating rice dumplings in the evening. Except for a few that were just made and given away, all of them were eaten up. They were really like little brats who ate me into bankruptcy.

When Ye Chenyu left, he looked at Ye Qing eagerly, "Qingya, you can still eat it when you come back tomorrow, right?"

Ye Qing looked at Seventh Brother's pitiful look and felt like laughing. He was pretending to be pitiful just for some food.

"Yes, I'll make you another flavor. I guarantee you'll like it."

The others felt embarrassed to do this, so they listened to Ye Qing's reply and went home happily.

Ye Qing soaked red beans and peanuts before going to bed, and will try candied date dumplings, red bean paste dumplings, and peanut and candied bean dumplings tomorrow.

Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li didn't dare to eat too much as they couldn't digest glutinous rice at night. So each of them ate two and then stopped.

The next morning before work, Zaohua and Ye Xi came to find Ye Qing. They also wanted to eat zongzi.

"I'll make more today. I made it for the first time yesterday and I didn't know how it would taste, so I didn't dare to make so much."

She also planned to make more today and send them to her uncle's family, aunt's family, two uncles' families, and some elders' homes in the village.

After breakfast today, I started to get busy. I first steamed the red beans and put them aside, and then I repeated the same process I did yesterday.

This time, Li and Zhou also came to help. They steamed two large pots of salty food and one large pot of sweet food.

She gave five to each family, and while they were still hot, she and Ye Dalang delivered them to the villagers.

Boss Ye was going to the city again, and Ye Qing asked him to bring back some glutinous rice and pork as they had used up all the food at home in the past two days.

There are also a few left for Ye Erlang and Xuzhou. They can steam them and eat them hot.

In the afternoon, Boss Ye brought Ye Erlang's feedback, "Your second brother likes egg yolk and meat dumplings the most. He wants you to help make some more. He will give it to Master Zheng as a gift."

"Second brother, you are actually accustomed to eating salty food. Usually, when you go to the south, you have to eat it a few times before you fall in love with the taste."

"Your brother probably eats a lot in restaurants and is used to all kinds of flavors."

Ye Qing thought it made sense. The thing that restaurants and pastry shops had the most was food.

Ye Qing prepared the stuffing the night before and got up early in the morning to wrap the dumplings. After they were steamed, Ye Lao Da loaded the dumplings onto a truck and took them to Ye Erlang.

"Qingya, there's no need to pack so much. He's going to give it as a gift, so he'll only need ten at most." Boss Ye watched his daughter carry the whole pot over.

"Dad, everyone in my family likes it, maybe other people will like it too. Let my second brother set up a stall at the door, and you can try selling it."

Ye Qing pondered it for two days, asked other people about their eating experience, and felt that this business could be successful.
