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

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a joyful cry: "Aunt, I'm back."

It was Ye Mu's voice. He was the youngest and his voice was the most powerful.

I saw a sunny cat face coming into view, with straw sandals in one hand and a few bright red fruits in the other.

Seeing Ye Guo at the kitchen door, the corners of her mouth instantly opened wide, and she shouted to Ye Guo: "Aunt, look, there are snake fruits."

After saying that, he ran over.

Ye Lu was not far behind, "Aunt, eat mine, mine is bigger than his."

Although Ye Guo didn't do housework, she watched the two younger ones grow up together. They were almost the same as her older sister, so naturally they had a different relationship.

A few days ago, Ye Guo fell and injured her head, and they were the ones who were most worried. They stayed up all night by her bedside and even slept in the same bed with her.

But they had farm work to do at home, so they couldn't just sit there and do nothing. So after finishing their farm work, they went to the foot of the mountain to look for wild fruits.

In this era, nothing can express concern better than food. As expected, they found some fish that slipped through the net.

"Are you going to the foot of the mountain again? Be careful not to encounter snakes." For a moment, Old Mrs. Ye forgot about what Ye Guo said and rolled her eyes in disdain.

Old Man Ye touched his nose and didn't dare to answer.

"Grandma, I want to find something to eat for my aunt. The more she eats, the better she will recover." Ye Lu smiled and made a face.

Old Mrs. Ye's expression froze. She also wanted to nourish Ye Guo's body, but there was only one laying hen at home, which she had just borrowed from someone else's house in the afternoon.

The whole family now mainly eats wild vegetables, and can barely hold on. However, next month will be the busy farming season, and even the strongest body will not be able to endure it.

But what can she do?

Seeing this, Ye Guo quickly spoke up, "Little Wood, I'm hungry, give me the snake fruit. It just so happens that I have something delicious to share with you."

"Everyone is here, wait for me."

After saying that, Ye Guo ran to the yard and brought over the washed lotus root tips. "This is what Ah Cheng and I picked today. Let's fill our stomachs first. There are still a lot in the yard. These are raw, and we can eat cooked ones later."

Only then did Old Mrs. Ye remember that Ye Guo had put the lotus root tips into the porridge before, and she also remembered that Ye Guo said that she and Ah Cheng had eaten it at noon.

Thinking back to the flavors I had eaten, a sense of anticipation ignited in my heart. This, perhaps, was really food.

"My aunt is right. This is edible. I ate it this morning and I don't feel any discomfort now." Ye Cheng looked at Old Mrs. Ye worriedly. Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, he guessed that my aunt had already said everything.

So he took a few and stuffed them into his mouth without any worries, then went to the side room to put his things away.

Father Ye and Boss Ye's eyes widened like bells. "Can you really eat it?"

Ye Guo nodded without hesitation, "Awan, Ali, Xiaolu, you guys try it first, it's delicious, and it has a sweet taste."

The people standing at the back were already hungry, but they didn't dare interrupt the adults when they were talking, so they just stuffed the food into their mouths without even washing their hands.

Then, Ye Mu screamed repeatedly, "Aunt, is this called lotus root tip? It's so delicious!"

"Aunt, can I eat as much as I want?" This was said by Ye Wan. She is a girl and has little strength.

"Little sister, where did you pick this thing? You must not go into the water, your health is important." Boss Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I know this. If you give me a snake fruit, I will tell you." The speaker was Ye Cheng, and he was obviously setting a trap.

"Don't even think about it. My aunt must know everything too." Ye Li was older after all, so he refuted without hesitation.

"This is so delicious. I feel like there's something in my stomach. No, I feel a little full." Ye Mu said, shaking his head.

……

Everyone was chatting with each other, and the house was full of warmth.

They had so many questions, mixed with all sorts of self-answers, that she decided not to get involved for the time being.

"You guys eat first, I'll stir-fry the rest with garlic sprouts for you."

The crowd, who were originally in the midst of a passionate discussion, became quiet again in an instant because of her.

It was the eldest sister-in-law Su who spoke first. "You just got better. You went into the mountains with Ah Cheng today. Let me cook dinner."

Ye Wan and her second sister-in-law Wang also reacted and agreed, "We are all back, how can you cook dinner? Just go and rest and wait for dinner."

Everyone is worried about her health as the kitchen tasks are numerous and tedious.

Ye Guo is always a person who lives seriously and strives to improve himself.

She lived alone and had already mastered cooking skills, so she waved her hand to everyone, "I slept for a long time in the afternoon, so I'm not tired at all. Just wash your hands, fill your stomach, and wait for dinner."

People are all made of flesh and blood. They have been busy all day and she has slept for the whole afternoon. How could she feel embarrassed?

And if it was made by Old Lady Ye, she probably wouldn’t even bother to use oil.

Seeing that she insisted, the others stopped trying to persuade her out of respect.

If she doesn't do well, they can take over at any time. What's more, there is Old Lady Ye watching beside her.

Ye Guo entered the kitchen and first looked at the ingredients in the cupboard, then carefully looked at today's wild vegetables, planning in his mind what to do.

It would have been better if I hadn’t looked at this cupboard. After seeing it, I couldn’t help but sigh again that my family is so poor.

Apart from a few spoonfuls of oil in the oil can, there was not much salt, and other seasonings were almost zero. No wonder we usually boiled the food.

In fact, it is not impossible to boil the lotus root tips, but this will probably be the staple food at home for some time to come, so we still have to come up with some new ideas.

Ye Guo picked out several chili peppers from the clay pot next to the cupboard and from the door beam, then heated the oil in a pan.

The only thing that comforted her was that there were chili peppers here.

Although in the original owner's memory, peppers were just decorations that looked good but were not edible.

But as a Hunanese who grew up eating spicy food, it is really difficult to cook without chili peppers.

Of course, there was very little oil, just to bring out the flavors of garlic and chili. In an instant, the kitchen was filled with an overbearing smell that was very appetite-stimulating.

Old Mrs. Ye wanted to get up, but she squatted down and continued to burn firewood, her throat moving unconsciously.

It wasn't that she wanted to eat, but she was really hungry. When she smelled the appetizing smell, she couldn't help but salivate.

Ye Guo then poured the blanched lotus root tips into the pot, stir-fried them, and finally added a little salt.

Ye Guo boiled water in another clay pot and fried the wild vegetables.

Then after the lotus root tips were put into the pot, I added some oil without washing the pot, put in the garlic that I had not used before, then poured it on the wild vegetables, and finally added some vinegar and mixed it into a cold dish.

One is spicy and the other is not, mainly for children, but in order to enhance the taste, vinegar is added to the wild vegetables.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Ye felt distressed but had no way to stop it.

"Aguo, you should use the oil sparingly."

Ye Guo smiled with curved eyebrows and didn't respond, but in his mind he could write an 800-word essay in about a minute:

Is this called using oil? Patients who are recuperating should eat more oil than this, right? The kitchen here should not be called a kitchen, it should be called a water room.

Ugh!

Let's eat first. Wild vegetables can't replace starch.

Because of what Old Lady Ye said, in line with the principle of not wasting, Ye Guo added some water to the pot, and then picked some mint tips in the corner of the backyard and boiled a soup, which was just right for cooling off in the summer.

"Mom, you can serve it out now and tell everyone to eat."

Ye Guo said to Old Mrs. Ye while cleaning the kitchen.

By now the Ye family should have finished getting ready. They were tired after a whole day and were just waiting for this meal.

After the Ye family sat down around the table, they found that the dishes on the table smelled tempting.

We had eaten a lot of lotus root tips, and we all thought it was okay to skip dinner. But then, we decided that we shouldn’t waste food.

"Xiao Guo, you can actually cook now."

Mrs. Ye's wife, Mrs. Su, was a little dazed, and she saw that there were a lot of white things in the porridge in front of everyone. She knew that it was called lotus root tips.

Old Master Ye stared at the food in front of him for a long time, then looked up at his well-behaved little daughter, his heart filled with pride.

"Eat it, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

With Old Master Ye's order, everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks.

Everyone’s first choice is lotus root tips.

"Wow, it's so spicy, but so delicious. I can eat three bowls today." Ye Mu exclaimed.

After hearing Ye Mu's words, everyone agreed. There were lotus root tips in today's porridge. They were pink and delicious, and they made people feel full.

"Aunt, how do you know this is edible?" Ye Wan is not very pretty, but she has delicate features. Since she is not busy with farming, she does not go to the fields very often, so her skin is fair.

At this moment, she was full of curiosity and wanted to ask questions, but no one could answer her.

My aunt used to often look for food at home, and although everyone knew about it, they didn't mind, because no matter how much my aunt ate, she would always leave some for them.

What I didn’t expect was that this time it was actually okay. I brought food back for everyone to eat, which really shocked me.

"I heard from the master in the Taoist temple. I was so hungry recently that I just remembered it."

"The villagers were afraid to eat lotus seeds because they were not peeled, so they got stuck and choked them."

"Acheng and I have been to that valley. The lotus roots there are enough for our entire village to eat even if we pick and eat them at the same time," Ye Guo explained with a smile.

Old Mrs. Ye was eating the lotus root tips in her mouth, one after another. She was there just now and wanted to stop her when she saw her using chili peppers. She didn't expect that chili peppers could be eaten like this.

After all, they had eaten chili peppers before and had unbearable stomachaches.

But what her daughter just said shocked her even more, and she was so scared that she even put down her chopsticks.

"Xiaoguo, are you telling the truth? Lotus roots grow under lotus leaves? Really?" Old Mrs. Ye asked repeatedly.

At this time, Ye Guo discovered that the Ye family members all stopped eating at the same time, as if her next words were a matter of life and death.
