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

Ye Qing actually discovered a big problem, "Brother, the person selling cakes and collecting money at the counter is the same person. If he hides some money, you won't know."

"Xuzhou is not such a person. He has been working with me for such a long time and I have never seen such a situation."

Ye Qing glanced at Ye Erlang. He trusted others too much. If he didn't pay attention, he would definitely suffer a great loss.

"That's because Brother Xuzhou has good character. In the future, if you open eight or ten shops, and you only go there occasionally, there will be no chance of embezzlement."

Ye Erlang suddenly became worried when he brought the pastry seller into the house as a stranger.

"Qingya, what should we do? You have a lot of ideas, help me think of a solution."

Ye Qing actually had some ideas, "One way is to separate the money collection counter in the kitchen, and have three people working together to supervise each other. It would be best if one of them is your own person."

Ye Erlang calculated the profit, and after adding the person who collected the money and the monthly salary, he would earn even less every month.

"Qingya, now is not the right time. I earn so little that I can't afford to support another person."

"Then the only option is the second one. You can personally deliver the materials to the store every month and roughly estimate how many cakes you can make. Then have the kitchen record the amount of cakes made and compare it with the money collected. After deducting the loss, the difference should not be too big."

Ye Erlang thought about it carefully and decided that this method was suitable. There were few shops now and he could take care of them all.

He knows exactly how many cakes can be made from one pound of flour and won't be cheated by the people in the store.

"I'll let both parties keep their own accounts when I get back, and I'll check them every once in a while."

Ye Qing didn't say anything. He could only let his second brother figure out a way to open more stores so that they could survive.

Ye Qing had something on his mind, so he stopped talking on the way and was thinking about how to tell the head of the village.

Ye Erlang didn't say anything either, his mind was still in the store.

The two soon arrived at the village. There were not many people in the village, and they were all tending to herbs in the mountains.

As soon as they entered the door, they ran into Zhou who was walking out in a hurry and almost bumped into the two of them.

"Where are you going, Mom?" Ye Erlang asked with concern.

"You're back. Erlang, go to Doctor Lin's house. Ping An has a fever."

Zhou stopped and turned back, saying that Li couldn't take care of Ping An alone.

Ye Erlang didn't dare to delay and turned around and drove the ox cart to the Lin family.

But Dr. Kobayashi was not at home either, and both father and son were in the mountains.

Ye Erlang turned around and rushed to the foot of the mountain, wishing he could bring Doctor Kobayashi over right away.

Ye Qing followed Zhou into the house. Ping'an's face was red from the fever, and Li was wiping her tears anxiously.

"My dear, why are you back?"

"Mom, Erlang is going to pick up Doctor Xiaolin. I'll come back to take care of Ping An."

Ping'an whined in discomfort and opened his arms to ask for a hug.

Zhou picked up her grandson with heartache and complained about her eldest son.

"I don't know what your eldest brother is busy with all day. He is not at home when I need him. Your eldest sister-in-law went to Ji Village to deliver clothes to the two elderly people. She can't be relied on either."

Ye Qing quickly advised Zhou, "We are still here at home, don't worry."

As he said this, he reached out to touch Ping'an's forehead. It wasn't too hot, about 38 degrees.

"Mom, I'll go get some warm water. You wipe Ping An's body to cool him down."

"Go quickly, there is warm water on the stove."

Ye Qing left the house and remembered that there was alcohol in the room. This was made in the winery, and she kept some for future use at home.

Ye Qing returned to the room, took out alcohol from the cabinet, found a clean cloth, and trotted back.

"Mom, use this first, rub his leg hollows and soles."

Zhou was at a loss, so she followed Ye Qing's method and wiped him.

Ping'an seemed to feel a little more comfortable. He stopped whining and nestled obediently in Zhou's arms.

Zhou felt more and more distressed as she watched him, and she wished she could suffer for him.

Ye Qing brought some warm water over and touched Ping An's head. It seemed that his height was not increasing.

The weather is still a bit cold now, so put the warm water aside and decide whether to wash it or not depending on the situation later.

"Mom, let me hold you for a while. You take a rest."

Zhou had been holding the baby for the whole morning. Xiao Ping'an had become much heavier now, and Zhou's arms were a little stiff.

Ye Qing took Ping An and held him in her arms, coaxing him softly. He felt better now and was willing to let her hold him.

Seeing that Ping'an was obedient and with Li watching over him, Zhou went to the kitchen with peace of mind and cooked some millet porridge for the child.

Now Ping'an can also drink some rice oil. I was worried that the child couldn't bear it if he didn't eat anything all morning.

"Grandma, there's a toy for Ping An in the bag I brought back. Please bring it to him."

Only then did Li see the bundle on the table. She untied it, took out a wooden rabbit and gave it to Ping An.

Ping An had never seen this kind of toy before. He took it in his hands and looked at it curiously.

Seeing that her great-grandson liked it, Li praised Ye Qing for his good taste.

Ye Qing touched his forehead, which was still very hot. He hoped that Dr. Kobayashi would come quickly.

Zhou cooked the porridge, scooped out the top layer and put it in a bowl to cool.

"Why hasn't Erlang come back yet? Doctor Xiaolin's home is not far away."

Zhou blamed her son, and Ye Qing was a little anxious, but he still tried to persuade Zhou calmly.

"Doctor Kobayashi may not be at home. He is probably in the mountains. My second brother is driving a bullock cart there and will be back soon."

As they were talking, they heard the sound of a ox cart outside. Before they saw anyone, Zhou had already started asking questions.

"Ji Lang, are you back?"

"Mom, I'm back. Doctor Lin is here too."

Before I saw the person, the voice had already come in.

Lin Youxian walked in first, and Ye Erlang followed behind with a medicine box on his back.

"Sister-in-law, how is the child now?"

Doctor Lin's voice is steady and reassuring to hear.

"I just wiped the child's leg with wine. The temperature is not rising. He just drank a few mouthfuls of rice porridge."

Doctor Kobayashi entered the house, and Ye Qing placed the child in the fence to make it easier for Doctor Kobayashi to see the child.

Doctor Kobayashi first touched Ping'an's forehead and said, "Sister-in-law, your treatment is very good. The child is fine."

Doctor Kobayashi felt the patient again, looked at the tongue coating, and asked about the patient's stool, and concluded that the patient was probably sick due to a cold.

Doctor Kobayashi wrote a prescription and asked Ye Jilang to follow him to get the medicine.

The two had just walked for a while when Ye Dalang ran in panting.

"How is Mommy?"

Just now, Zhou was still blaming her eldest son, but now she starts to feel distressed.

"Doctor Xiaolin has been here, nothing serious, Erlang has gone to get some medicine, go wash your face quickly, look at how wet it is."

Ye Dalang heaved a sigh of relief, then felt tired. He washed himself and went into the house to see his son.

He was in the experimental field, and it was only when the villagers went to call him that they found out that Ping An was sick.

I was fine when I left the house in the morning, but I didn't expect to get sick right after I left the house.

Seeing that his son looked listless, he picked him up and comforted him out of pity.

"Grandma, mother, thank you, you have worked so hard."

"Silly child, we are a family, there is no need to thank anyone. If you want to thank someone, then thank Erlang and Qingya. Fortunately, they came back in time."
