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

"Dad, do you need my help?"

"We don't need you. Go inside. There's dirt all over here." There wasn't much dirt left on the ground, so Boss Ye didn't let Ye Qing get involved.

Ye Qing obediently walked into the house. There was a piece of clothing on the table with a needle without thread stuck on it.

Ye Qing picked up the needle, looked at the color of the thread on the clothes, took out thread of the same color from the sewing basket, threaded the thread, and put the needle back.

Li is old and has poor eyesight, so Wei Xin or Ye Qing helps with this kind of needlework.

He stepped into the kitchen again. Li seldom went out now. Except when she went to the vegetable garden, she would stay in the kitchen.

"Grandma, what are you going to cook today?"

Li looked back and saw who was coming. She reported the dishes she wanted to eat in the evening, "stewed beans with meat, roasted tofu, and some pickled vegetables."

Ye Qing took a look at the food in the pot. The tofu soup was stewed into a milky white color with some green vegetables in it.

The beans were ready. Ye Qing took a bamboo basket and went to the corner of the kitchen to get some pickled vegetables. He cut them and served them on the table.

Zhou took Wei Xin to go to Aunt Lihua's house to play. Ye Xin was getting married soon, so the house was very lively.

All the dishes were placed on the table, and the two of them just came back.

The family sat around the table. Before they started eating, Tietou came in from outside with sweat all over his face.

"Tietou is here. Go wash your face and eat first." Zhou looked at her nephew with concern. It was obvious from his appearance that he had not eaten yet.

Tietou came back after washing his face. Without any courtesy, he sat next to Ye Dalang, took the chopsticks handed to him by Ye Qing, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

After I finished all the porridge in the bowl and recovered, I wasn't so thirsty anymore.

"Qingya, I went to the spice shop in the city and asked, but they don't sell peppercorns."

Ye Qing felt a little disappointed. This was different from what she had expected. She thought she could make some money from the pepper and buy a few dozen acres of land.

Tietou looked at his aunt's family with a lost expression on his face.

Then he announced the good news in a cheerful tone, "Although the spice shop in the city doesn't want it, I met the manager of a caravan, and they are willing to take it. They will take as many as they can."

Ye Dalang's surprised voice sounded from the side, "Really? This is great. We can't finish eating so many peppercorns even if we eat them for ten years."

Ye Qing also realized that this was a good thing, and quickly pulled Tietou to ask for details.

"Brother Tietou, is this money paid in cash?"

Tietou nodded, "It's settled now, one hand pays the other hand delivers the goods. I'm afraid they'll cheat me, so I'll let them pick up the goods themselves."

After hearing this, Boss Ye felt relieved. Once they entered the village, they were in their territory.

"When are you coming? Have you finished harvesting the peppercorns? Let's dry them and sell them together."

"Uncle, we have harvested them all. We don't have much, and most of the pepper trees haven't produced any peppers yet."

"Then when will they come?" Boss Ye was a little anxious.

"I've made an appointment with the manager. I'll bring someone to check out the goods tomorrow. If there's no problem with the quality, they'll come back to get the peppercorns."

Old Man Ye was very happy. This was the attitude of someone who wanted to buy something. If one didn’t even look at it, it would make people suspicious.

Zhou urged her nephew to go back and rest. He had been out for so long in the morning that he was too tired to talk.

Tietou went back obediently. His family knew he was tired and didn't let him do anything. They just asked him to take a shower and have a sleep.

Ye Qing lost interest and thought of the wooden box Liu Rui gave him two days ago.

I was really curious about what it was, so I said hello to Li and went to my second uncle's house.

"Auntie, have you eaten?"

When Shen heard Ye Qing's voice, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table and handed them to her.

"Qingya, try the melon seeds that Auntie fried. They are made according to the method you said. Try it and see if it tastes right."

Ye Qing then remembered what she said two days ago. When she saw the pecans from her second uncle's house, she couldn't help but say that she wanted to eat walnut-flavored melon seeds.

Shen was a person who loved to eat. Her family planted two mu of land with melon seeds just to have a snack in the winter.

She was very interested in the walnut-flavored melon seeds that Ye Qing mentioned, especially when she was lying in bed at night, her mind was full of walnut-flavored melon seeds.

I didn't go out these two days, I just studied this at home.

Ye Qing quickly took the melon seeds, picked up one and put it in his mouth.

If you taste it carefully, you will find that the melon seeds have the fragrance of walnuts and a slightly nutty taste, which is very delicious.

Although it is a little different from what I ate in my previous life, the taste is very similar.

"Qingya, please give me some suggestions. Is there anything that needs improvement?"

Ye Qing ate another one and confirmed where the problem lay.

"Aunt, add more sugar, and better yet, some salt. It should taste better."

Shen frowned and said, "I put a lot of sugar in it, but why is it still not enough?"

Sugar is still very expensive. Shen put two spoonfuls of sugar in it, which can make several bowls of sugar water.

Ye Qing understood Shen's mentality. Usually, they were reluctant to eat candy at home. If they put so much this time, they would have been scolded if they put it at someone else's house.

In fact, in Ye Qing's opinion, two spoons of sugar were not much at all, after all, there was a big pot of melon seeds.

"Qingya, maybe I did something wrong? I've never done this before, so I don't know if it's right."

Ye Qing looked at Shen with admiration. She invented walnut seeds just by hearing the name.

"Auntie, it doesn't matter what's right or wrong, as long as it tastes good."

After hearing this, Shen stopped hesitating and decided to try Ye Qing's suggestion.

"Aunt, is my sister home? I'm here to play with her."

"I'm at home. I went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. I'll be back soon."

Ye Qing chatted with Shen and waited for Ye Xi to come back.

After a while, Ye Xi came in carrying a basket, not forgetting to brush off the dirt on her body.

"Sister, what vegetables did you pick?"

Ye Xi looked up and saw Ye Qing. Seeing that she looked like she wanted to eat something, she took a cucumber from the basket, washed it, and handed it to Shen and Ye Qing.

"Qingya, how come you have time to come and play today? You didn't even go to the workshop."

Ye Qing chuckled, "With you here, I feel relieved. I don't need to go over there."

Ye Xi wasn't really complaining about her, she just couldn't stand seeing her looking so leisurely.

"I'm lucky to have capable people like you helping me." Ye Qing said proudly.

Ye Xi pointed at Ye Qing's forehead and said, "You are lazy."

Ye Qing didn't care what she said. He knew that his sister felt sorry for him, so he acted coquettishly beside her.

"Sister, what was in the box Liu Rui gave you last time? My second sister and I made a bet. The one who guessed wrong has to give a gift to another person."

Ye Xi's ears turned slightly red, and she pretended not to care and said, "You two are plotting against me, I'll beat you up."

After saying that, he started to tickle Ye Qing's spots, and it was so fast that Ye Qing didn't even have time to react.

“Hahahaha~hahahaha~

"Stop it now! You're killing me with laughter! I was wrong." Ye Qing begged for mercy quickly.

Ye Xi scratched twice more before stopping. The two of them squeezed on a bench and talked about the recent interesting things.
