Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

At the dinner table, the main dish recently is lotus root.

Stir-fried lotus root with pork slices, cold lotus root salad, lotus root bone soup...there was even a bowl of sour lotus root that Ye Zifeng brought over in the afternoon.

"Here it is, here we have this, the stuffed lotus root that my aunt mentioned, everyone try it." Xiaowan came out carrying two steaming steamers.

The main ingredient for stuffing lotus root is glutinous rice, which needs to be soaked for several hours in advance to allow it to fully absorb water and swell.

Then wash the lotus root nodes, cut the two ends flat so that they can stand upright. Use chopsticks to clean the mud and sand in the holes of the lotus roots one by one.

Then fill the soaked glutinous rice into the holes of the lotus root, press it down with chopsticks to make sure the holes are filled with glutinous rice, and then sprinkle red dates on the glutinous rice.

In fact, you can add more fruit ingredients, especially raisins, but... no, no, really not.

Put the stuffed lotus root nodes into the steamer, first cook over high heat until the steam is boiling, then switch to low heat and steam for about an hour, until the lotus root nodes become soft and the glutinous rice is cooked.

In fact, lotus root stuffing tastes better with sugar juice, but there is no white sugar in Daqing, and maltose is also incredibly expensive, so we don’t have it at home.

Fortunately, a few days ago, the village head sent a small jar of honey, saying that it was for Ye Guo to use to nourish his body. It came in handy today.

The villagers had no idea that Ye Guo and the others had gone to Lingnan. The previous rumor was that they had followed Wang back to her parents' home. Unexpectedly, Wang was found to be pregnant and never came back after she went back.

Su took a knife and followed Ye Wan. She took out the steamed lotus root nodes on the table, cut them into thick slices, arranged them on a plate, poured honey on them, and let them cool down before eating.

Stuffed lotus root has a soft, sweet and fragrant texture. To be precise, it is a dessert for after-meal. However, Ye Guo has been so tired of eating lotus roots these days that he doesn’t care about eating it before or after meals.

As soon as the stuffed lotus root was served, she stopped eating her whole-grain rice and ate it directly as dinner.

Ye Wan cooked food. As her family conditions improved, she cooked more food. She originally thought that if she couldn't finish it, she would keep it and eat it tomorrow morning. But in the end, there was not a single piece left.

Not to mention the leaves and fruits, the two little ones also kept eating them. The lotus root stuffed with honey!

Sweet.

What child can resist?

At the dinner table, Old Lady Ye was still thinking about the letter while eating. After Ye Guo made sure that the letter to Ye Lao Er had been sent out.

He started babble again, and began to talk about the gifts prepared for Wang and her family.

In fact, it's just talk. In the family's interpersonal relationships, it has always been Old Lady Ye who has the final say. This is the norm.

It was because she had all the money in the house. But Old Lady Ye was open-minded and everyone had some private money.

Ye Guo should have had the most private money, but she was a person who would never let herself be wronged.

After solving the toilet problem, she thought about renovating the house as well.

After returning from Lingnan, Old Lady Ye gave her some of her private money, but most of her private money was given to the carpenter in the village.

The good thing is that with more things in the house, the quality of life has improved a bit. For example, clothes, my daughter’s jewelry... finally there is a place to put them.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content and taking a hot bath to relieve his fatigue, Ye Guo felt that there was still hope in life.

When she returned to the house and smelled the fragrance of mugwort, a smile appeared on her face.

The last time she was in Lingnan, she specially brought back a few hemp tents, but her sister-in-law still habitually helped her use mugwort to repel mosquitoes before going to bed.

I slept well all night and woke up naturally. The only sound in the yard was the sound of the loom.

"Aunt, you're awake! My father went to the fields at five in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

"Ah! Why are you going so early?" Ye Guo was confused.

The fifth watch is from 3 to 5 in the morning. Although it is dawning early now, it is still too early at this time.

Ye Wan complained as she got her some water, "He said he wanted to see when the green shoots grew so he could take back the cloth."

Ye Guo thought his elder brother was concerned about the growth speed of the seedlings, but he didn't expect to get such a ridiculous answer.

What could she say? Yejia Village was really poor.

As for the new clothes she bought for her family, no one dared to wear the whole set at once, but found an excuse to wear one from time to time.

"Brother, have you eaten? If not, prepare a portion for you. We'll go to the fields together later to take a look." Ye Guo has always been serious and cautious about his work.

The seeds were just sown yesterday, so all we can see is whether it will rain, whether we need to replant, and whether the water level is reasonable.

For breakfast, Ye Guo had dumpling soup with meat slices and chili sauce. He was satisfied after eating two big bowls in one go.

"Aunt, you seem to be able to eat more recently than before." Ye Wan said with a smile while cleaning up the dishes.

How could I understand this kind of thing as clearly as others? I looked down at my thin arms and legs and sighed, "If I eat more, I will only gain weight. It would be better if I could grow taller."

"Little aunt can still grow, eat more meat."

Ye Wan was hoping that her health would get better and better, she said frankly.

The original owner was about 1.65 meters tall, about the same height as Ye Guo today. In Yejia Village, where the entire village needs to be lifted out of poverty, he is considered tall.

I used to be thin, but now my family conditions have improved and I eat well. Although I’m not fat yet, my skin has become delicate and shiny.

Putting on a straw hat, the two walked and talked, and from a distance they saw a group of people gathered on the ridge of their field.

"Xiaoguo is here. Your elder brother said that this farm was your idea. Do you want to plant another crop of rice?"

"We just planted the seeds yesterday, how come rice sprouts have already grown overnight?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman with a pointed face and monkey-like appearance. She was carrying a backpack full of freshly cut pig grass. She asked the questions quickly and urgently.

"I really want to plant another crop." Ye Guo nodded with a smile.

"How come sister Xiaoguo suddenly knows how to farm? Your elder brother said this is a rice field. What is a rice field?" A man in the tribe who was about the same age as Boss Ye raised his voice and asked with a smile.

"And you guys are really generous. With so much cloth, you can make several new sets of clothes."

"Sister Xiaoguo, you are finally here. Your elder brother is so tight-lipped. No matter how we ask, he just says he will listen to you."

The person who spoke was another member of the tribe. Due to his old age, his back was a little hunched, and only two eyes could be made out on his dark face. His words were obviously spoken with good intentions.

"Sister Xiaoguo is so diligent. She even remembers to bring food to your elder brother." This was said by another aunt.

……

Boss Ye guessed that Ye Guo would come over. He saw that she was surrounded by a group of people. Everyone was talking at the same time and he had no chance to speak at all.

He took the basket from his daughter and squatted aside to eat.

Ye Guo originally thought that all the villagers had gone to the valley. After all, the villagers were still digging lotus roots today. He didn't expect that so many people would gather on the ridge of the field.

Even people from the clan’s hometown and the village head’s house were there.
