The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 116
Ye Qing's original intention of chasing him was not to doubt Wu Yan, but to express that he believed in him and supported him, however, Wu Yan had misunderstood him.

He thought that Ye Qing would be like everyone else, only seeing the surface of the matter and wronging him.At this moment, he was still faintly sad in his heart!

After Wu Yan left, the Ye family ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then went back to their houses.Ye Qing packed the dishes, looked at the dark night sky and sighed.

The next morning, just as Ye Qing opened his eyes, he heard the sound of "pa, pa, pa" coming from the yard, with intermittent pauses, as if he was hitting something.

Ye Qing rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes and got out of bed, just opened the window, he saw Ye Pingrong and Xu's using a flail (a few feet long wooden strips tied together to form a board, connected by a long handle , raising the long handle and then lowering it, the bound plate rotates, so that the grains and other particles can fall) and beat the rice.

What they cut back a few days ago was all rice, and today they have to beat the grains, spread them in the yard to dry the water vapor, and then use wind (every household in the countryside has them to separate grain and dust, empty chaff, etc.) wooden bellows) to separate the empty husks from the grains.

Ye Pingrong and Mrs. Xu are very proficient, they cooperate very well.In the short time Ye Qing got up and stood, they had already slapped a corner.

Seeing Ye Qing standing by the window, Mrs. Xu stopped, spat in her hand, and holding the flail pole, said: "Qingqing, did you wake you up?"

"No, it's already dawn, and it's time for me to get up."

After saying that, she stretched her waist, twisted her neck, and then came out of her room.

Seeing that Ye Qing was busy, Mrs. Xu raised her flail again, and cooperated with Ye Pingrong.

Every day when Ye Qing opens his eyes, there are many things to do.For example: cooking breakfast for the family, feeding pigs and chickens, doing housework, and taking care of the vegetable garden in front of the house, etc.After she finished her work, her brother picked out the pig and came back. She should clean up the pig and then throw it into the pot for cooking.

Although Ye Qing has a lot of things to do every day, she always feels that there are not enough poultry and livestock at home. She should at least feed a dozen ducks, a dozen geese, and a kitten and a puppy. lively.

Although she doesn't like cats and dogs very much, cats can catch mice, dogs can guard the house, and feeding cats and dogs is not so unacceptable!

Wu Yan was basically not at home in the morning, Ye Qing glanced at the closed door, then went into the kitchen.

Everyone didn't eat much last night, Ye Qing specially cooked a lot of stewed pork rice.She simply reheated the stewed pork rice in the pot, then brought it to the table, and greeted her parents for dinner.Although it is not as delicious as last night's, but this morning's is more delicious, and it has a different taste.

Ye Qing also ate a bowl, and after his parents finished eating, they cleared up the bowls and chopsticks, and then he went out with the basket and went to the vegetable field he planted.

Ye Qing planted a lot of cowpeas in the field before, and surrounded the vegetable field.Ye Junbei also helped her build a fence, and the cowpea vines grew very well along the fence.This cowpea also bears a lot.

Now their family is rushing to wait for the vegetables to be picked, and there are other meat dishes every day, and the vegetables in the field can't be eaten at all.

Simply cowpea is good, it can be soaked, stewed, or dried, so Ye Qing thought about picking and drying cowpea, and frying bacon in winter when there is no vegetable to eat or when it rains.

Although the cowpeas in the field looked like they had grown quite a lot, they were actually not enough for two meals after they were picked and dried in the sun.

Ye Qing picked the thin ones first, washed them and dried them, then stuffed them directly into the kimchi jar to make pickled cowpea; while the thick ones were spread out in the sun to dry.

When the cowpea is completely dried, tie it into small handfuls and put them in the closet for storage.When you want to eat, take it out and soak it in water, then cut it into sections and fry it.

When Ye Qing thinks of things in the north, "sorrow" is written all over his face, if he doesn't prepare to order food, will he really only eat cabbage clappers in winter?

"Wow, we've finished picking the cowpeas." Ye Qing looked at the basket full of cowpeas, his face was full of joy, but he looked at the eggplant and bitter gourd in the blink of an eye, "What should I do? I can't eat it all at once." Ah. Hey!"

Ye Qing kept Zhang Xiu persuading him back then, he planted too much, even if he changed his ways to eat eggplant and bitter melon, he couldn't eat much in a day.If you take it as a gift, everyone has it at home, so it's not rare.Don't give them away, let them continue to grow, and when they grow old, they will be wasted.

After much deliberation, Ye Qing still picked the big ones, then made two trips to pick the eggplants, bitter gourds, loofahs, and green peppers together.

Ye Qing picked out a few good-looking eggplants and loofahs and put them in a basket, and asked Xiao Er to bring them home for Xiong Jie to taste when he came to pick up the goods in the afternoon.The vegetables she grows with her own hands are not something everyone can eat.

Ye Qing waited and waited, but Ye Junbei didn't come back, so he cleared the soaked cowpea and dried it in the Shau Kei, and then spread out the thick cowpea one by one in the yard.

Xu Shi and Ye Pingrong didn't know what she was doing either, they both took a break to drink water and asked her curiously, "Qingqing, what are you doing?"

Zhang Xiu came out of the house, lifted a stool and sat at the door embroidering, and looked at it curiously.

Ye Qing smiled and said: "Dried cowpea, you will know the taste in winter."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, the other three all smiled.I'm afraid she can't wait for winter, so she has to get them for them to try.

It was almost noon when Ye Junbei came back, saying that he was delayed on the way back.

The Ye family was worried at first, but they were relieved when they saw that he had returned safely, and they asked him to wash his hands and eat.

Because Ye Junbei came back late, Ye Qing hurriedly ate his lunch and began to wash the pigs into the water.Seeing that she couldn't do it alone, Mrs. Xu put down the bowl and chopsticks and brought a stool to help.

In the end, except for Zhang Xiu, the pregnant woman, all the Ye family members joined the battle, and even the elders also washed the pigs into the water. The whole family was talking and laughing.

In Ye Qing's heart, a happy family is the happiest thing.

With the help of his parents and elder brother, the cleaning speed was extremely fast, so Ye Qing got up to light the halogen stove and added hard firewood.Then, pour the cleaned pig offal into the pot, and marinate the first batch first.

Ye Qing saw that the pigs were almost cleaned up, so he said to Ye Pingrong and Xu: "Father, mother, you have been tired for a long time, go and rest for a while. I can handle it!"

"I'm not tired, let's rest together after cleaning up," Xu smiled a little distressed, if Ye Qing hadn't supported the house, they would still be living in thatched cottage!

"Your mother is right, they are all sitting, so why are you tired!"

Even though Ye Pingrong said so, when he stood up after cleaning, he still gritted his teeth and hammered his waist - he couldn't straighten up.

As soon as Ye Pingrong stood up straight, he heard someone scolding behind him: "Unfilial son!"
