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

Chapter 544
Cao Qianqiu's appearance was just a short episode, even if it was bad luck early in the morning, Ye Qing didn't worry about it, when he walked to the door, he took two deep breaths, let go of the unhappiness, and entered the yard with a smile, walking very briskly.

At this time, Mrs. Xu had already gotten up and had breakfast, and was sitting in the yard sewing small clothes.

"Mother, are there wild vegetables in the mountains this season?"

"Why are you asking this?" Mrs. Xu was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and looked at her daughter in disbelief.The conditions at home are decent now, why bother to look for wild vegetables in the mountains?
Ye Qing smiled, thinking of the "rice sweeping" that many people liked to eat with in her previous life, there were wild bamboo shoots, wild bracken, enoki mushroom and so on, they were very delicious, she especially liked them.Now that the season for digging mountain bamboo shoots is over, it is a good time for picking bracken. She just happened to come back to her hometown, and she has nothing to do, so she naturally wanted to pick some to try something new.

"Hungry!"

Ye Qing's crisp answer stunned Xu Shi, and then he burst out laughing, "You girl."

Zhang Ma couldn't help chuckling as she was doing some work on the side.

Ye Qing stuck out her tongue and smiled, she's just hungry.Anyway, being idle is idle, so why not find some delicious food for a change.Otherwise, how can I spend such a long day!
Thinking about the boring days now, I miss the busy life in the city!
"I don't know if your eldest brother is free in the afternoon, let him accompany you. You are a girl, it's better not to go to the mountains." Although there are often villages at the foot of the mountain, Xu is still worried and wants to let Ye Jun go north. Go around with my daughter.

But this day is the time when he is busy with farm work, and there is still a lo mei business to do, so I don't know if my son will be able to spare time.If she didn't have time, she thought otherwise her daughter would go, so she wouldn't worry about it.

Ye Qing saw his mother's worry, and quickly comforted him: "It's just walking around the foot of the mountain, and you don't go up the mountain, there are villagers everywhere, how can I let the elder brother put down the farm work? If you listened to me before, return all the land to the big landlord , Big brother and dad can relax now?"

Anyway, the land was rented, and half of the annual harvest had to be handed over to the landlord as rent, or converted into money and handed over.Except for the landlord's family, I have been tired for so long and haven't seen a few harvests, which is really not worthwhile.She had planned to make her parents give up farming, but neither of them wanted to, so they had to continue farming.

Xu Shi sighed when she heard the words, she never thought that she could get pregnant by herself, otherwise, she could also help with some farm work in the field.But now that she has a stomach, her husband and son have expressly ordered her not to do farm work anymore, let alone hire a servant for her to come back to serve their daughter who eats and eats.

"Hey, it's all my mother's fault. If it weren't for the little things in my stomach, your father and your elder brother would be so tired."

"Ma'am," Zhang Ma called out a little timidly when she saw Mrs. Xu sighing, and seeing Mrs. Xu and Ye Qing looking at her, she tentatively said, "Why don't I go with the girl, and there will be no delay. .”

uh. this.
"Okay, then we'll go after lunch."

"Hey!"

Without waiting for Xu's answer or decision, Ye Qing has already reached a consensus with Zhang Ma.

Because she was going to go around the foot of the mountain, Mama Zhang made lunch earlier.It just so happened that Ye Junbei and his son came back earlier, so the lunch was a full hour earlier.After the meal, Zhang Ma cleaned up the dishes, but it was just a normal meal on weekdays.

Wu Yan wanted to go with him, but Ye Qing stopped him from left to right, assuring him that it would be fine, and let him rest assured and refresh himself.What if the person who chased and killed him made a move one night while he was in low spirits?If you don't recharge your energy, don't you let others slaughter you?
Wu Yan felt that what Ye Qing said was reasonable, on the surface he agreed with her words, but didn't follow.But in the dark, a secret guard was assigned to protect him, let him hide in the dark, and protect Ye Qing's safety at all times.Who knows if there are tigers eating people at the foot of the mountain?

When the smoke from other houses was rising, Ye Qing carried the basket and walked to the foot of the mountain with Zhang Ma.

Zhang Ma is a careful person, in case Ye Qing would get thirsty and hungry, she even put a water bottle and dry food in the basket she was carrying.In case you are thirsty and hungry, you can resist it for a while, so as not to wander around hungry.Ye Qing had already caught a glimpse of what was in the basket, but she didn't intend to eat it.

"Girl, are you digging wild vegetables with the basket?" According to the current conditions of the Ye family, there is no need to dig wild vegetables to live.

Ye Qing didn't hide it, and responded to her as he walked, "Well, the bracken on the mountain is in season, it's tender and fresh, pick some and pickle it, fry it until it's cooked." Wild bracken is a good thing , drooling just thinking about it.

Zhang Ma didn't understand Ye Qing's way of digging wild vegetables to eat, she nodded her head wholeheartedly, and followed Ye Qing to the foot of the mountain.But the two of them didn't know that there were two sneaky figures following behind them not far away.

"The sun isn't shining these days, but it's too hot." Ye Qing felt his mouth was dry, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and frowned.

She didn't hear Zhang Ma's echo for a long time, stopped, turned around and looked, and saw Zhang Ma stopped three or four feet away from her, squatting on the ground with her stomach covered.

"Mum Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Mama Zhang waved her hand, raised her head and forced a smile, and said a little embarrassedly: "My stomach hurts, it may be because I ate too much at noon."

Uh. Ye Qing originally thought Zhang's mother had a stomachache because she was in a hurry, but what she didn't want to hear was the result.After thinking about it, he said embarrassingly, "Why don't you go back first, it's convenient for me to go alone." Anyway, just wandering around the foot of the mountain, and not going deep into the mountain, nothing will happen.

"How can that be? Ouch—"

Just as Zhang Ma stood up, she felt her stomach growling again, and quickly squatted down again.

Ye Qing was a little helpless, with black lines all over his head in embarrassment, he twitched the corners of his mouth, "Okay, you go back first. If my mother asks, just say that I asked you to go back." If you don't send her back, you will I don't want to look for wild vegetables quietly anymore.

Mama Zhang wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't bear the stomachache. She lifted the basket with difficulty and stood up, "Girl, take this water and dry food with you. If you're hungry, eat something to fill your stomach."

"I'll be back in a while, no need." Ye Qing quickly shook his head and refused, "Go back quickly, just wander around the foot of the mountain, it's okay."

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't accept her, Mama Zhang didn't force her, she nodded to her, covered her stomach, turned back with her back bent.Ye Qing stared at her back for a while, with a slightly puzzled look on his face, but he soon let go of it.

Ye Qing turned and walked towards the foot of the mountain, after Mama Zhang walked past the grass where the two shadows were hiding, the two figures came out of the grass, and followed Ye Qing into the mountain furtively.
