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

For the New Year’s Eve dinner, Ye Qing placed the prepared pot on the table, as well as a custom-made stove with red-hot charcoal in it.

Ye Dalang and his companions looked on curiously, and saw Ye Qing pouring the cooked pork ribs soup into the pot.

Various seasonings were added into the dish, and the mutton and pork prepared at home were brought over.

Ye Erlang helped slice it into thin slices and put them all on a plate.

There are many people in the family, so we prepared a lot of meat, so we prepared three or four plates of mutton.

The pork was raised at home. Li kept half of the big fat pig for his family to eat.

There are also various mushrooms picked from the mountains, which are taken out in the afternoon and soaked in water.

The tofu and bean curd skin that Ye Qiu brought over were all cut and placed on a plate for later use.

There is some sauerkraut as well, take it and set it aside.

The meatballs and fishballs that Zhou made for Chinese New Year were all put together.

There was also cabbage. Ye Qing picked some cabbage hearts, washed them and put them on the table.

The others watched Ye Qing busying himself and wanted to help but didn't know where to start.

Ye Qing prepared another pot of spicy hotpot, and after the soup boiled, he put the meat in it.

Ye Qing raised his head and glanced at his family members, all of whom were standing by the table.

Ye Qing asked Ye Erlang to help everyone prepare some dipping saucers. He had learned cooking and the flavors he prepared were very suitable for everyone.

The family members sat together, and Ye Qing first demonstrated to them the process of eating hot pot.

Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law understood it at a glance and tried to put a few things in.

Old man Ye didn't have to do anything as his grandsons brought the cooked meat to him.

The family was eating enthusiastically. There was still charcoal under the pot. They ate for more than an hour and the food was not cold.

In the past, when we had New Year’s Eve dinner, each dish had to be reheated several times.

"Qingya, your method is good. Winter is suitable for eating hotpot." Ye Dalang praised his sister.

Ye Erlang also thought the same thing, "I like spicy hotpot the most. It makes me feel spicy and comfortable when I eat it."

Ye Chenjing was not willing to be outdone and joined the team that praised Ye Qing.

Ye Qing only thought of hotpot after hearing what Zhang Xuan, who bought their peppercorns, said.

The blacksmith shop in the city didn't know how to make this special pot at first.

Ye Qing offered three times the price and described the appearance in detail.

The blacksmith tried several methods before he managed to make two, and Ye Qing bought them all.

Ping An was playing in the cradle nearby. Even though no one was with him, he was having a lot of fun.

Old Man Ye looked at his children and grandchildren around him, and even though he hadn't drunk any alcohol, he felt drunk.

Wait until everyone in the family has eaten and drunk their fill, then put the leftovers in the kitchen.

After each person takes two bites of the roasted fish, some of the fish will be left, symbolizing abundance every year.

This year, there is more peace at home during the New Year, and the chubby little guy is very adorable.

It’s just that the child was too young, and fell asleep after eating and drinking.

Wei Xin didn't carry him back to the house, but placed him in the cradle next to the brazier.

There was a thick mattress in the cradle and a small quilt on top, so it wasn't cold at all.

Family members will stay up all night to talk about the changes in the past year and plans for the next year.

They didn't deliberately reduce the noise, peace only came when they just fell asleep.

He moved impatiently, but then adapted to the environment and fell into a sound sleep.

After midnight, firecrackers were set off and everyone in the family went back to their rooms to sleep.

Ye Qing was lying on the bed, taking stock of the year's harvest. She now owns several workshops and business is good.

The business of several workshops is on the right track. After the New Year, I will ask Brother Tietou about his gains from this trip.

When I have time, I’ll see if I can open another workshop.

I fell asleep while thinking, and was called up before dawn to eat dumplings to welcome the God of Wealth.

After eating dumplings, the weather had turned cold. Ye Dalang and Wei Xin held Ping An, followed by his younger brother and sister-in-law, and went to their grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings.

"Come here, Xiao Ping'an, let me hug you."

Grandma sat on the chair, took the little fat baby, and teased him with her mouth.

Ping'an just woke up and was very considerate. He laughed when someone teased him.

Ye Qing lay beside and amused his little nephew, and the whole family watched with great joy.

After chatting for a while, my uncle gave red envelopes and took a few cousins ​​to his home.

Go back and wait for the other brothers to go to the village to pay New Year's greetings.

Before leaving the house, Lin You brought his three sons to visit the Ye family to wish them a happy new year.

Li looked at the three boys, they were very energetic and it was interesting to see them.

"Qingya, get food for your brothers."

Ye Qing picked up the plate of melon seeds, grabbed a handful from each of them, and distributed them to them.

Lin You is also a talkative person. He talked about things that happened on the road with Old Man Ye and Boss Ye, and they had a very pleasant chat.

Ye Dalang and his brothers also like Lin Wenzhi very much, because he is so young and has such excellent medical skills.

He was a very humble man, and the two of them agreed to buy saplings together in the spring and replant the forest land.

Lin You only found out yesterday that his family not only built a house, but also bought land.

I didn't expect his father to be so capable. He built up such a large business in just a few years.

The three of them, father and son, have only saved ten taels of silver in the past few years.

I listened carefully to what Dr. Lin said about the whole process. Fortunately, we had the support of Kaoshan Village, otherwise, we would have to build the house now, not to mention the land.

After chatting for a while, the Lin father and son continued to visit other families to wish them a happy new year. They visited every household in the village.

He is a grateful person. The village has helped him so much, so he should be grateful.

Now everyone in the village is saying that Lin You's family is a blessed family, and the good news spread as soon as he arrived in the village.

The New Year passed quickly, and all the scholars were studying hard. Those who failed to pass the provincial examination this year wanted to take the exam.

Everyone in the family was in the backyard, trying not to disturb Ye Chenjing while he was studying.

Ye Erlang returned to the city on the sixth day of the New Year to open his pastry shop.

Ye Erlang had repaid the money he had borrowed from his family, and the next step was to save money to open a shop.

Paying rent every month is also a huge expense.

Ye Chencong's marriage was also settled, and Shen finally put her mind at ease.

Ye Qing was too busy during the New Year holidays and didn't have time to have a detailed chat with Tietou.

They came back the day before the Chinese New Year and brought back a lot of goods. They could make some money by selling them.

"Brother Tietou, have you ever met a family raising silkworms when you went out?"

"I met them and saw their looms. They make money by weaving. Women weave at home all day and night. It takes half a month to weave a piece of cloth, and they can earn one or two taels of silver a month."

Ye Qing was moved when he heard this, "Is there anyone willing to come over?"

Tietou was a little afraid to look at Ye Qing, "No, they are rarely willing to leave home. Besides, there are not many mulberry trees in our village, so we can't raise many silkworms."

Ye Qing thought it made sense. It was not suitable to do this in the village now, so he decided to plant some mulberry trees first and see if there was a chance later.

Tietou didn't have much time to rest for a few days because the mosquito coil workshop was about to open.

Last year we prepared all the materials, dried them and stored them in the warehouse. This year we started preparing early and want to sell the goods before summer.

Ye Dalang devoted himself to the experimental field. Last year, the yield per mu increased by 200 kilograms, which was greatly encouraged.

This year, new varieties of crops were planted in the family's land, and the best quality seeds were selected for his experimental field.
