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

Only after Ye Qing had eaten his fill did he feel in the mood to continue watching Grandpa Sun make tofu.

Pour the tofu pudding into the tofu frame, then put a lid on top, and put a stone on the lid, so that water flows out through the gap. After a while, the white and plump tofu is ready.

Boss Ye went to get the soy milk again, this time it was from his own home, and Boss Ye was grinding it behind him.

Ye Qing continued to help light the fire, and the whole Sun family was filled with the aroma of beans.

Ye Qing's family made three pieces of tofu and gave half of it to the Zhou family, two pieces to the village head's family, and one piece to Aunt Hua's family.

That night, Li prepared a tofu feast, stir-fried tofu and stewed tofu. The remaining tofu was put away, as Ye Erlang was about to rest, so he kept it for the others to eat.

Ye Erlang returned two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Master Zheng asked him to come back early to celebrate the festival.

There is a lantern festival in the city during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the store is very busy, so we don’t take a break.

Zhou felt sorry for her son not being able to celebrate the festival at home, so she cooked some delicious food in advance and had the family eat together.

Ye Erlang also showed his family what he had learned recently, and Master Zheng started to let him make noodles.

Ye Erlang started to learn how to make hand-rolled noodles. He kneaded a piece of dough for another quarter of an hour. The man was very strong and kneaded the dough very hard.

Then let the dough rest for a while, and knead it for a while. The dough seemed to come alive in Ye Erlang's hands, and soon it became smooth.

"Second brother, you have really good skills. You must have practiced for quite a while." Ye Qing looked at Ye Erlang with admiration.

"Kneading dough looks simple, but it is actually a technical job that requires skills. I practiced when I had free time, and only then could I do this." Ye Erlang was a little proud.

"Brother, now you can steam buns and make noodles very well. You can also be a master chef in the future."

Ye Erlang thought so too. "Qingya, I'll make mooncakes for you tonight. The master taught me two days ago. The store is selling mooncakes recently."

"Forget it, second brother. You only have a break once every half a month. Rest at home." Ye Qing felt sorry for his second brother and he must not be as comfortable outside as at home.

"Qingya, I've been away from home for a long time and can't help with anything at home. I haven't brought back any money yet, so let me cook something for the family."

Ye Qing knew that his second brother was still under pressure and wanted to do something for the family.

"Brother, teach me and I will help you."

"Qingya, cook the red beans I brought and save them for stuffing later."

Ye Qing turned around and went to Ye Erlang's room, took the red beans, washed them several times, and put them in the pot to cook.

Ye Erlang took two sauerkrauts, washed them, and made a dish to eat with the noodles.

"The noodles made by second brother are really delicious. Each one is chewy." Ye Qing praised his second brother very much.

"Erlang, you have learned this skill in vain, it is really good." Old man Ye was very happy with the meal.

The family members also started praising the meal. Ye Qing went to get another bowl for the first time. After finishing the meal, he couldn't even sit still.

After dinner, Ye Erlang went to knead the dough again. The dough needed to make mooncakes is different from that needed to make noodles, so it needs to be prepared in advance.

Ye Erlang didn't come out of the kitchen for the whole afternoon. Ye Qing watched his second brother's actions and forgot to speak for a moment.

There is limited filling at home, so Ye Erlang only plans to make red bean paste filling. The remaining filling can be used to steam buns and will not be wasted.

In the evening, the aroma from the kitchen attracted Uncle Ye to come over. Everyone sat in the yard chatting, but their attention was actually on the kitchen, the aroma was too tempting.

Ye Qing couldn't wait to taste it right now, "Second brother, are you ready? Let me taste it for you to see if it's done."

"Little greedy cat, wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Ye Erlang patted Ye Qing's shoulder lovingly.

Ye Chenjing also came back. The children in the car all refused to leave. They all wanted to try the delicious mooncakes.

Several children were leaning against the door, looking in. Ye Erlang thought they were too noisy, so he refused to let them in.

Finally, the mooncakes were out of the pot. Ye Chenjing rushed in first and came out with a plate.

After the mooncakes have cooled down a bit, each person can eat half of one.

"It's so delicious. Mooncakes fresh out of the pan are better than cold ones. Every bite has the fragrance of red beans." Ye Chenjing praised.

Others also praised the dish highly, and a few more pots were ordered until everyone was full.

Ye Erlang tried one and it tasted good. The bean paste was a bit sweet, but still inferior to those sold in pastry shops.

My family members praise me so much just to encourage me.

Ye Erlang secretly made up his mind to learn from his master and make better mooncakes for his family in the future.

Ye Erlang was lying on his bed at home, with a thick mattress laid out by Zhou, which still smelled of sunshine.

I was covered with a newly made quilt, feeling warm all over. I fell asleep in a short while, and my dreams were filled with sweet smells.

After breakfast, Ye Erlang went back with the new cotton-padded clothes and thick quilt prepared by Zhou, as well as the holiday gift for his master, feeling deeply touched.

After sending his son off, Boss Ye went to Fu'an Pavilion to deliver eggs. He hadn't been there for a few days, so he had stored a lot of eggs at home.

"Brother Liu is busy, I'll deliver the eggs."

"I figured you'd be here by now. How's everything going at home? Has Erlang gone home yet?"

"I've almost finished taking care of the house. I just sent Erlang back. Chef Zheng is really good and taught Erlang very well." Boss Ye was very grateful for Chef Liu's help.

"Erlang is smart and willing to learn, so he can be taught well." The two praised each other for a while.

"Brother Liu, I want to ask you, do we use charcoal in Wu'an City in winter?"

"Yes, they are sold here from outside. One pound costs 18 wen, and that's for ordinary charcoal. The better ones are more expensive."

"Is there much demand? Our village knows how to make charcoal. If there is a lot of demand, we will make it."

"Restaurants and restaurants all need charcoal, and wealthy families buy a lot of it. If the price is low, many people are still willing to buy it."

Boss Ye had an idea in mind and was ready to go back and discuss it with Ye Lizheng.

Boss Ye bought some more oil and salt. This place is close to the salt mine, so the price of salt is much cheaper, and the Ye family is no longer stingy when it comes to salt.

When Ye Lao Da arrived home, Ye Qing was pulling Zhou's sleeve and acting like a spoiled child, "Mom, let's go to the city to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I haven't seen the Lantern Festival yet."

Zhou refused without a second thought, "Everyone in the family has left, and I don't even know who will help look after the house. I don't even know if they've moved it away."

"Let uncle stay for one night and help look after the house. We'll go there in the afternoon and come back the next day. It won't delay us much."

Zhou still felt it was unreliable, "The city lights are not safe, so children should not go there."

"You and Dad can follow me, so it's safe. Besides, I'm older now."

Seeing Boss Ye pushing the door open, he went to Boss Ye to ask for help. "Dad, please help me. I haven't been there yet."

Ye Dalang also wanted to go. He had never seen it before, but he was too embarrassed to act like a spoiled child like Ye Qing.

Boss Ye listened to his daughter's nagging with a smile, and he neither agreed nor disagreed. "Go ask your mother. If she agrees, we'll go."
