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

"I don't know where Tian San learned how to cook lobsters. He made them and sold them at the market, but his skills were not up to par." Ye Qiu kept the secret and waited for Ye Qing to ask.

Ye Qing also cooperated: "Aunt, then what, is it not delicious?"

Seeing Ye Qing's cooperation, Ye Qiu spoke more excitedly. "Tian San is lazy when he can. He just washed the lobster in the water without brushing it. It has a fishy smell."

"Food must be clean. Who would be willing to buy it if it's not clean?" Ye Qing disagreed.

"Not only that, he also fried the lobster, but he didn't put any other ingredients in it, and he didn't blanch it. It just looked the same as ours, but it tasted really bad."

"But there are still people buying it." Ye Qing didn't quite understand.

"That's why I'm angry. He sells it under the name of our village, and many people think we are one family. And his prices are cheap. Some people who like to take advantage buy from him." Ye Qiu became angrier as he spoke.

"Will the buyer be willing to accept him?" Ye Qing could guess what would happen next.

"The people who bought it were all from the neighborhood. They went home and tasted it and found it didn't taste right, so they came to find Tian San. Tian San even said that the people there were blackmailing him and bullying him."

Ye Qiu continued, "The two sides started arguing, but Tian San refused to admit it and refused to return the money. He was beaten up by the other party before he packed up and left."

"Auntie, how does that affect you?"

"It was still Tian San. He left, and the people who came to look for us later came to us, thinking we were one family. We moved to another place, and came back after selling it."

"He was hanging around outside my house yesterday morning. He probably saw me frying lobsters at home, but he didn't see the other steps and went to sell them without learning all the steps." Ye Qing thought of what Aunt Liu said and then he connected the dots.

"You are so good, Tian San. You stole the recipe and wanted to steal my business. I'm going to find the head of the village." Ye Qiu didn't expect this to happen and got up to leave in anger.

Ye Qing quickly stopped him, "Aunt, he won't be able to sell it anymore. Let's not buy his lobsters. Let him watch others make money. He can make three or four taels of silver from snails and lobsters in a summer. He shouldn't be miserable."

Ye Qiu thought about it and realized that this was the truth. After farming for a year, the villagers could only save half a tael of silver after paying for food, drink and taxes.

The villagers bought land and built houses, and they didn't have much money left. You can earn three or four taels without going out, and you can wake up with a smile in your sleep.

Ye Qiu doesn't come back until the afternoon every day. He came back so early today. After chatting with Ye Qing for a while, he hurried back to wash and dry the bedding for his two sons.

Boss Ye came back driving the ox cart, "Qingya, I bought some cakes. People in the city said they were delicious. You guys should try some too."

Ye Qing took the cake, opened it and took a look. It was peach cake and mung bean cake, and it smelled very fragrant.

Ye Qing carefully took out a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite with his hand. The fragrance of mung bean and the rich sweetness of sugared osmanthus lingered between his lips and teeth for a long time.

"Dad, this is delicious, sweet but not greasy. I'll give it to mom and grandma to try."

"If it's delicious, I'll buy it for you next time." Boss Ye dotes on his children. Now that his family is rich, he is willing to buy food for his family.

"Dad, how many lobsters does Queranlou want?" Ye Qing had been thinking about it since morning.

"We ordered 200 kilograms, 100 kilograms for each flavor. If they sell well, we'll add more. We also left the lobsters we brought over today. Fu'an Pavilion ordered more, another 200 kilograms."

"We need to harvest more today. Two thousand kilograms should be about right."

"Qingya, you can handle it. I'll leave this to you. I'm going to pick cotton. I saw that the cotton was in bloom yesterday."

After eating, Ye Lao Da went to the forest. Ye Da Lang went there in the morning. He needed to pick cotton bit by bit and then dry it when he came back. He already had a bag of cotton stored at home.

Just as Boss Ye left for a while, Uncle Ye came in pushing a cart with all the furniture on it.

"Second uncle finished it so quickly. My father just went to the woods. I'll go call him back."

"Qingya, that's not necessary. Your fourth brother and I will carry it in together."

Ye Chencong picked up a low cabinet with one hand and took it down from the car. "Qingya Fourth Brother is very strong, I can take it down by myself."

Ye Qing looked at his brother with admiration, saying nice things to him without asking for anything in return, and even brought water to the two of them.

"Fourth brother, wait a minute. I'll go call grandma. She's going to the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers. Please put grandpa and grandma's wardrobe away first." Ye Qing ran to the back door in a hurry. His own big wardrobe was also ready. He no longer had to put his clothes in a bamboo basket.

Li came over with a few cucumbers, "Second brother, the others are all done, so there's no need to worry at home."

"Mom, it's all ready. This is the last one we made. All the missing items are ready. See where to put the wardrobe."

Li had imagined it several times in her mind, and she directed her son and grandson to put it in the house. She touched the patterns on the furniture with her hands, and felt excited.

Put the ones in other rooms in the house first, and wait for brother to come back and move them. The big bathtub that Ye Qing was looking forward to was also ready. When it was cold, put hot water in it and soak in it comfortably.

The empty room became full, and Ye Qing's heart was filled with joy. At this moment he truly felt a sense of belonging.

"Uncle, after you finish making furniture for the village, what will you do next?"

"I have to clean up the fields, take care of the paddy fields, and raise some pigs at home. I have been busy making furniture for most of the year and haven't taken care of these yet."

"Uncle, I have an idea. Lobsters are popular now. Many people will come up with lobster recipes in the future. All the lobsters have been caught this year. The production will not be high next year, and the price of lobsters will go up."

"Qingya, if you have any ideas, just tell us directly. We will listen to you." Ye Qing has many ideas to make money, and Uncle Ye still trusts Ye Qing's vision.

"Uncle, now that you have money, buy a pond and raise lobsters. You won't have to look for them next year, and you can sell them for money."

Uncle Ye thought it made sense. In the future, more people would sell lobsters and more lobsters would be needed. This would be a job that could make money.

"Qingya, I'll go back and think about it. I'll give you an answer in two days. Will you raise the child?" Uncle Ye was still a little hesitant.

"Uncle, I just thought of it as well. Let me discuss it with my family tonight." Ye Qing also had a flash of inspiration and thought of it on the spur of the moment.

Li washed the cucumbers she picked and shared them with several people. Ye Lao Er took the cucumbers back home and had to go back to discuss it with Shen.

Ye Qing also became busy. More villagers came to sell lobsters. The snails were getting smaller and smaller. The snails nearby were almost all gone, so now they had to go outside the village to pick them up.

After seeing off the lobster seller, it was getting dark, and Li went to steam steamed buns, adding some vegetables to the buns to save some food. Now that the family had money, Li still tried to save as much as possible. In summer, there were many vegetables in the fields, and they would become old if they were not eaten for a few days.

Ye Qing helped with the cooking, using freshly picked beans and spinach from the vegetable garden. Spinach and eggs were used to make soup, and beans and pork were stewed together.
