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

Chapter 325 Salad

"How is Erlang's wife's mental state? What does the doctor say?" Li was worried all day.

"Grandma, my second brother and his wife are in good spirits. They are young and haven't experienced much. When they saw us, their eyes were filled with tears." Wei Xin said with a smile.

Li dusted herself off and said, "You are not young. I have been waiting for so long and now it is finally here. Be careful."

Wei Xin brought the cakes he brought back from the city to Li, "Grandma, try this cake. Erlang just invented it. It's very soft and suitable for you and grandpa to eat."

Li washed his hands and took a piece.

"You guys eat too, everyone try it."

Ye Qing reached out and took a piece, fed it to Boss Ye first, then took another piece and put it in his mouth.

Ye Qing was instantly conquered by the soft, sweet taste, which had the aroma of eggs and the sweetness of honey. It melted in the mouth and he wanted to swallow his tongue.

"Second brother's cooking skills have improved. This pastry will definitely sell well." Ye Qing praised while eating.

Wei Xin didn't bother to say anything and just raised his thumb.

Li couldn't stop eating. She had lost several teeth and couldn't eat anything hard. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed eating pastries so much.

Ye Qing and Wei Xin ate very restrainedly, and stopped after eating two pieces. Dinner was about to start, and they couldn't eat for a while.

Li ate slowly, sitting in a rocking chair and eating slowly.

Wei Xin went into the house and poured her a glass of water. The pastries were still a little dry and she would feel thirsty soon.

Wei Xin steamed the buns while Ye Qing cooked the porridge first. He put various beans in it and it needed to be cooked for a longer time before it was soft.

Ye Qing peeled two sweet potatoes from the firewood under the stove, cut them into small pieces, and put them into the porridge to cook together.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to pick some vegetables in the back, you help me watch the fire."

"You go ahead, I'll cook on both stoves." Wei Xin had already put all the steamed buns into the pot.

Ye Qing came out of the kitchen, sweating all over, and so hot that he had no appetite.

"Grandma, can we steam some eggplants and smash some cucumbers to eat?"

"When making cold-mixed eggplant, add less salt." Mrs. Li fanned herself gently.

Ye Qing made up his mind and went to the vegetable garden, picking a few thicker eggplants and some tender cucumbers.

Seeing that the leeks were fresh, I cut a handful and went home to stir-fry them.

"Qingya, take these two pieces of tofu back and eat them." Ye Qiu was carrying a plate in a basket, and the plate was covered with a cloth.

"Aunt, my family is preparing some cold eggplant salad. Let's go back and have some together." Ye Qing greeted her warmly.

"I won't go. Your grandma Sun has prepared dinner at home. This is freshly made tender tofu. It tastes good when eaten with other ingredients." Ye Qiu handed over the basket.

Ye Qing carried a basket of vegetables in one hand and tofu in the other and walked home with difficulty.

Ye Qing walked and stopped, looking forward, and finally saw two familiar figures.

"Ping'an Erbao, come and help your aunt get a basket." Ye Qing put the basket on the ground and waited for them to come.

The child had good eyesight and spotted Ye Qing on the side of the road at a glance, and the two of them ran towards this side quickly.

Erbao has short legs, so Ping An has to wait for him after he runs a few steps.

"Aunt, why did you carry so much?" Ping'an lifted the heaviest basket of vegetables with difficulty.

"You can't hold this, leave it here, aunt. Take this tofu, your aunt just gave it to you, let's go back and make tofu with spring onions."

"Auntie, let me take it too." Erbao followed Ping'an to play next to the private school. He was not yet old enough to go to school.

Ye Qing took an eggplant from the basket and stuffed it into Erbao's hand. The three aunts and nephews chatted about interesting things in the private school and hurried home.

When they got home, Wei Xin's steamed buns had just come out of the pot, and the aroma of the steamed buns wafted through the yard.

"Wow, it smells so good, mom, give me one." Ping'an and Erbao rushed towards the dry food basket.

Li happened to be standing next to the steamed buns. She took out a candied corn cake, carefully cut it into two halves, and gave each of them to the two children.

The two children carefully took the candied corn and walked into the yard, watching the sugar water in the corn to make sure it did not spill out.

Ye Qing washed the vegetables, cleaned the pot for steaming buns, and continued to steam the eggplants.

The pot at home was big, and Ye Qing put more than a dozen eggplants in it, filling the entire pot.

The firewood placed under the stove has strong fire power and there is no need for people to keep adding firewood. Just watch it and make sure it doesn't fall out.

Wei Xin helped to smash the cucumber, marinated it with salt first, and then added the seasonings later.

Both of them worked very efficiently. Ye Qing cut the leeks, took ten eggs, heated the oil and put the leeks in. The aroma of the leeks wafted out.

The two little guys were lying at the door, their noses twitching, and they looked dizzy with the fragrance.

Wei Xin saw his two sons and said, "Ping An, take Er Bao to wash his hands, and then go to the door to see if the old man has come."

Ping'an obediently took his brother to wash his hands first, and then looked at the door.

The two men stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks, trying to see farther, but they did not see the figure of Old Man Ye.

Erbao was getting anxious and shouted at Old Man Ye at the top of his lungs, but Old Man Ye did not come back and no one responded to them.

The two of them ate half a candy cake and were not so hungry anymore. Erbao lay down at the door and watched the ants moving. His hands, which had just been washed, became dirty again.

The two waited for a while, the sun set, and an ox cart slowly came to the intersection.

Ping'an couldn't see who was coming, so he tried calling out "Dad". He heard a response from the other end and ran over to meet him.

"Dad, you're finally back. I missed you so much." Erbao was carried into the car by Ye Dalang. Ping'an ran after the car and was unwilling to get in.

"Dad, have you seen great-grandfather? Our family is waiting for you to have dinner." Ping'an waited for a while and his stomach started to growl again.

"Your great-grandfather was kept by your third uncle. We will go pick him up after dinner." They just passed by their third uncle's house, and their third uncle asked him to tell his family to keep Old Man Ye for dinner.

Ping'an was quick and took down the threshold first, allowing Ye Dalang to drive the ox cart in.

"Da Lang is back. Why did your father come back so late today?" Li looked out while fanning herself.

"My grandfather ate at my third uncle's house. I brought back two roast ducks from the dock and gave one to my third uncle, and we ate one."

Li was no longer worried and asked Boss Ye to put the table in the yard. It could still be seen from outside and the yard was cooler than the house.

Ye Qing and Wei Xin saw that everyone in the family had returned and brought the fried leeks to the table.

Wei Xin was serving porridge in the kitchen, and Ping An was helping to carry it outside. The porridge had been cooked for quite some time, but it was not so hot at this moment.

Ye Dalang helped to get the chopsticks, and when all the dishes and porridge were on the table, everyone sat down to eat together.

Ye Dalang looked at Zhou's position and asked, "Where is mother? Did she stay with Erlang?"

"Erlang and Ye Dalang are young, so our mother will stay there for two days. After waiting for three months, we will come back together." Wei Xin took a steamed bun, broke it in half, and gave half to Ye Dalang.

The steamed buns at home are big, and they just had some pastries, so one couldn’t finish them.
