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

Chapter 341 Preparation

Ye Xin didn't expect that he would have extra money, so he quickly called the people in the store over to thank Ye Qing.

When Ye Qing left, the atmosphere in the store was obviously better than when he came, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Ye Qing went around several stores and heard words of thanks several times, which made him feel even more festive.

There were several workshops in the village, and Ye Qing kept three people in each workshop, and the others were given a day off.

Those who stayed behind were also given an extra thirty cents a day, and those who had busy work at home were willing to stay and work.

After finishing all these, Ye Qing went to the dock to find Ye Erlang. When she arrived at the dock, Ye Erlang had not come yet.

Ye Qing first went to several seafood stores and ordered some large fish that were not common here.

Ye Qing waited for a while, but Ye Erlang still didn't come. This place was not far from the roast duck restaurant, so she planned to go and take a look.

When Ye Qing arrived at the roast duck restaurant, the restaurant was full of people and the waiters were busy as hell.

"Xiao Liu, is my second brother here?" Ye Qing grabbed a guy who was running fast and asked.

"Young boss, the boss is helping out in the kitchen." The waiter wiped the sweat from his face.

Ye Qing didn't need his guidance and went to the backyard as he knew the way.

There are several barbecue ovens in the backyard, all of which are in use, and the whole yard is filled with the aroma of roast duck.

Ye Qing walked to Ye Erlang, and Ye Erlang, who was turning the roast duck, noticed her.

"Qingya, you must be getting impatient. I didn't expect so many people to come and order roast duck as gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ye Erlang's face flushed with heat.

"Just wait for a while. I'll watch these two furnaces, and you watch the others. Where is the master in the store? I can't see him anywhere." Ye Qing looked around.

"I asked them to go eat. They have been busy since morning and haven't had time to eat yet."

With Ye Qing's help, Ye Erlang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Qing didn't expect that everyone liked roast duck so much. The two of them looked at the roast duck and didn't dare to relax at all, as it would affect the taste if it was burnt.

After the chefs came back from lunch, Ye Qing and Ye Erlang helped for a while. After the busiest period of time, the two went to buy ingredients.

Seeing that there were a lot of ingredients, Ye Erlang first went to get Ye Qingding's fish, picked out two fresh ones, and put them in the car along with the bucket and water.

I also went to other stalls and picked up a lot of vegetables to eat tomorrow.

When the two got home, lunch had already been eaten.

Ye Qing and Ye Erlang went to the kitchen to get the lunch that had been reserved for them and ate it slowly.

After dinner, the two did not rest but prepared the ingredients for making mooncakes. The mooncakes made by Ye Erlang tasted better than those sold outside.

Wei Xin came back early to help with the work. Old Man Ye planned to kill a sheep so that they could eat together tomorrow.

Zhou took out Ye Wulang's bedding and hung it out to dry, hoping that her son could be there to celebrate the festival with her.

In the evening, Zhou went out to look several times, but there was still no sign of Ye Wulang.

"Sister-in-law, are you home?"

Ye Qing came out of the kitchen, "Aunt Wang, come in quickly, my mother is at home."

Zhou heard the noise in the room and came out to talk.

"Sister Wang, how come you have time to come here today? We have prepared everything for the festival at home."

Wang took the bench handed to her by Ye Qing and sat in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, everything at home is almost ready. How are your preparations going?" Wang fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan.

"My family has almost prepared everything, except Wulang hasn't come back yet." Zhou sighed.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have any news either. Every time someone walked by the door that day, I went out to check, but I was disappointed every time. Where do you think they went?" Wang was anxious and came to the Ye family to inquire for news.

"Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and these children are a real worry." Zhou is looking forward to the family being together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wang talked for a while, but didn't hear the news she wanted to hear, so she went home. She was worried about her eldest daughter-in-law being alone at home.

Ye Qing was also thinking about the people outside, so she asked the village caravan to help her bring a loom, and she counted the days until she could return.

The next morning, Ye Laoda got up and cleaned the yard. Old Man Ye went to the village to chat and wait for his grandchildren to come back.

Ye Chenze and a few others were studying with Master Jiang and agreed to come back at noon today.

I am hoping that Wulang and Qilang can come back today. At such an old age, I just want my children and grandchildren to be around me.

Ye Qing and the others were not idle either. Ye Erlang prepared the ingredients and made snowflake crisps for the two children first.

Ye Qing and his companions were making mooncakes. They put the finished mooncakes directly into the mold that Ye Erlang brought back and pressed it hard, and a pattern of wealth and auspiciousness was printed on it.

Li was picking vegetables nearby. She had just brought them from the vegetable garden and was removing some of the bad leaves.

Ye Lao Da and Ye Da Lang were slaughtering a sheep. They caught the sheep yesterday but didn't kill it, so they killed it early this morning to make it fresh.

"Ping'an, this is the packed mutton. Please take it to your second and third grandfathers." Ye Dalang instructed his son.

Ping'an held a piece of candy in his mouth, picked up the basket of meat, and took Erbao with him to deliver the meat.

Ye Erlang put the slaughtered sheep into the pot in the yard and stewed it over low heat.

After dividing the mutton, Ye Dalang went to kill the chickens. Today was his day off, so he helped the family with the preparations for the festival.

After doing all these, Ye Qing arranged for his eldest brother to chop the meat. This required the most strength, and it would be very tiring to swing the arms for a long time.

The house was bustling with activity; even Zheng Qin was peeling garlic.

After delivering the mutton, Ping An went to Ye Qiu again. Ye Qiu gave him a portion of pork ribs and freshly made tofu.

The sheep was very big, and after the families divided it up, there was still a lot left. Ping An continued to send mutton to his great-grandmother, and Uncle Zhou brought back a few wild rabbits.

The meat of wild rabbits is firmer than that of domestic rabbits, so both families prefer to eat wild rabbits.

Ping An ran around and got a lot of snacks. The two of them took them back and shared them with their family.

All the mooncakes were ready, weighing almost ten pounds. Ye Erlang took them to the oven in the yard and carefully put them in.

Ping'an and Erbao followed Ye Erlang and watched him put all the mooncakes away.

"Uncle, when can we eat it? What does the meat-filled mooncake taste like? Is it delicious?"

The two of them turned into curious babies, their mouths never stopped talking.

Ye Erlang was very patient and answered their questions one by one.

"It will be ready in half an hour. The fresh meat mooncakes are delicious. Which one will you try first?"

Erbao was conflicted. He wanted to eat them all. There were so many delicious foods today that he wished he could eat them all.

Everyone was amused by Erbao's expression, and Ye Qing also helped to come up with ideas.

"Erbao, the ones with egg yolk filling are delicious. Eat them first."

Ping An disagreed, "Brother, the ones with nuts are also delicious."

Erbao looked at this and that and burst into tears. He said, "These people are so mean. The mooncakes are not ready yet and he is drooling with greed."

Erbao's crying not only did not stop them from laughing, but made them laugh even louder.

At this moment, the door creaked and everyone subconsciously looked back.
