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

Ye Qing taught Zhou how to process pepper seeds at home. She promised the villagers that she would sell the pepper seedlings to them.

Zhou studied hard. Sichuan pepper is so profitable and the pepper seedlings are not cheap.

Ye Qing plans to set aside a few acres of land to grow fennel and anise. When the new peppercorns come in, the remaining peppercorns that Zhang Xuan buys can be processed into a low-end version of thirteen spices.

Selling it to restaurants and hotels will definitely make money. And this is a consumable item, so it will be used up very quickly.

Ye Dalang did not help plant fennel. The winter wheat was growing rapidly and he had to apply fertilizer.

Ye Qing handed the seeds to Boss Ye and left them there. This was a good seed and it would grow as soon as it was put into the soil.

The winery has been built, but it took a little longer this time.

We hired a master who specialized in digging cellars and he dug a large wine cellar underground.

There is a lot of wine in the winery, but it cannot be sold right after it is brewed. It needs to be stored for a year or two before it becomes delicious.

There are some wines that taste better the longer they are stored. Their winery was established not long ago and they have no old wines to support them, so they can only accumulate them slowly.

The winery has just been built and needs to be aired out. We'll take a few days off first so that the people in the workshop can have a break.

Sell ​​the wine in the warehouse outside so that you can take less with you when you move the goods.

Everyone in the workshop went home to rest, but Xiufen stayed there. She was still studying bamboo leaf wine.

Ye Qing didn't know much about wine, so he didn't dare to give her much advice. He just asked her to try glutinous rice in addition to rice.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qing's reminder really made Xiufen try it out.

I brewed a large vat of it first, but the color was very light.

Xiufen sealed the wine in the jar and waited for a month to test its taste.

But Xiufen was still not satisfied. The bamboo leaf wine she had promised was actually very light in color, which did not live up to its name.

This time Ye Qing was free, so he helped her prepare the ingredients. He first soaked the fresh bamboo leaves for half a day, then brushed off the hair on the bamboo leaves before starting to brew the wine.

Ye Qing did not watch the wine-making process. She only came over to take a look after it was finished.

Seeing Xiufen frowning, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this wine?"

"There's nothing wrong with this wine, except that the color is still too light."

Ye Qing picked up a ladle, scooped out some wine, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

I looked at the color again and it was indeed a bit turbid and not clear.

"Why not try steaming it again?" Ye Qing suggested.

Xiufen opened her eyes wide, somewhat incredulous.

Ye Qing regretted talking too much. As she was an amateur, he shouldn't give random instructions.

Xiufen clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Why didn't I think of this? I always did what my master taught me before and never tried any new methods."

After saying that, he got busy again. This time he did less work, so he could do it alone.

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first. Our winery will move to a new location in ten days. You can come and unveil the red cloth on that day."

Once Xiufen got into it, she was lost in her own world. She waved at Ye Qing, not knowing whether he listened to her or not.

Ye Qing came from two other workshops, bringing a jar of newly brewed wine to honor his grandfather.

This jar of wine weighs about half a pound. Grandpa and uncle each tasted a little. Drinking too much is bad for your health.

There are only my grandparents at home, and my uncle and aunt went to the mountains to grow herbs.

When Grandpa Zhou saw Ye Qing coming over with wine, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

His family members controlled his drinking, and only when Ye Qing brought him new drinks could he satisfy his cravings.

Ye Qing chatted with the two old people for a while and listened to grandma talking about Tietou's blind date.

Tietou and his aunt followed matchmaker Liu to see the girl yesterday. I heard that the girl's family was rich in Kaoshan Village and wanted twenty taels of money as a gift.

Tietou refused before his aunt said anything. The family's money didn't come from the wind, but was saved through hard work.

"Grandma, Tietou brother isn't that old, so there's no need to worry at home. He's the eldest, so it's better to find someone who suits his taste."

"Qingya is the one who thinks clearly. She is getting old and doesn't know when she will pass away. She wants to see her great-grandson sooner."

"How can you be older? You are still young and have to help choose a wife for your great-grandson." Ye Qing coaxed his grandmother sweetly.

"You just know how to make me happy. You've lived this long, you must be an old monster."

The two chatted for a while, and Ye Qing went home.

As soon as I walked in, before I even entered the house, Zhou called me.

"Qingya, go and give your Aunt Wang some vegetable seeds. Also send these pepper seedlings, eggplant seedlings, and loofah seedlings. She just arrived and doesn't have all the seeds."

Ye Qing looked around and saw that only Li, Zhou and Ping An were at home.

He could only pick up the frame prepared by Zhou and turn back to Lin's house.

"Is Aunt Wang home? My mother asked me to give you some vegetable seeds."

Wang came out of the house and said, "Qingya is here, come in quickly."

After Ye Qing entered the house, Wang took out the snacks.

"Qingya, try this cake. It was given to your grandfather Lin when he went to see Mr. Zhang at his home. It tastes pretty good."

"Aunt Wang, I'm not a child. Why do I need snacks?"

Aunt Wang enthusiastically gave her a piece and said, "You are just children in front of me."

Ye Qing hurriedly took the pastry, took a bite, and it was indeed delicious.

Wang picked up the seedlings on the ground and said, "These seedlings are growing really well. I told your uncle this morning that he would go to the city to buy some seeds when he had time. I didn't expect you to bring them here. Please thank your mother for me. This is what our family needs."

"Auntie, you are so polite. These are all the seeds I saved from last year, especially the pumpkin seeds. They are all soft and sweet."

"That's great. Your brothers love to eat this kind of pumpkin. We'll plant it in the wasteland soon."

When I first arrived, the wasteland allocated by the government has been fertilized in the past two years, but I still call it wasteland out of habit.

"Grow more, and if you can't finish eating, you can raise pigs."

"We need to catch two piglets for our family so that we can have meat for the New Year. Qingya, do you know where to buy piglets?"

"My third uncle can help me buy them. He often goes to different villages and knows who is selling piglets."

"Qingya, are you free to take me to ask him now? I haven't been to his house yet, so I'd like to go and get to know him."

Ye Qing agreed readily and took Wang to his third uncle's house.

The two houses were not far from each other and could be reached in a cup of tea.

"Aunt San, are you home? Aunt Wang wants to buy some piglets."

Wei's voice came from the backyard, "Qingya, bring your Aunt Wang to see it."

The two walked towards the backyard, and as soon as they entered, their attention was attracted by the piglets in the pigsty.

"Sister Wang, you came at the right time. These are the piglets that the head of the family caught for us yesterday. They are all very energetic. If you want them, we will give them to you first and then catch more."

On the way here, Ye Qing introduced Wang's third uncle and third aunt to her, and now she knows how to address them.

"Sister, I'm so sorry. You've been feeding them for a whole day." Wang was a little excited. These little piglets looked healthy.

"I'm the boss and I often go to various villages. There's no shortage of piglets. You feed them first, and bring them back to me if there are any problems." Wei was very optimistic about this batch of piglets.

"Okay, I want both. Can you find someone to send them back for me? The men in my family are all in the mountains."
