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

Chapter 172 Pine Forest
Although there are many pigs in the water, there are also many people working for them.Apart from Qi Su who is a "soy sauce", Ye Qing and Wu Yan are experts at work.The two quickly cleaned the pigs into the water, and carried them all into the kitchen.

On the first day, we were rushing to make tomorrow's goods, and we only started cleaning the raw materials in the middle of the afternoon. By the time all the lo mei was out of the pot, it was already late at night.

Wu Yan went out to hunt before dawn as usual, and when Ye Jun got up at night, he happened to meet him going out.When going to sell braised vegetables the next day, Ye Junbei thought Wuyan was too hard, so he drove the donkey cart and took Qisu with him.

No need to rush to wait for Ye Junbei to pull the pig into the water and come back to wash it, Ye Qing also took a late sleep, and then the first thing after getting up was to hug Xiaorui'er.

Just after Zhang Xiu had finished feeding Rui'er, Mrs. Xu was hugging her and patting her on the back to prevent her from swallowing air and spitting up milk.Ye Qing smiled like a "grandmother wolf", stretched out his hand to hug her, but Xu shi staggered away.

"Mom, I want to kiss Xiaorui'er, give me a hug!"

While patting the child on the back, Mrs. Xu asked, "Have you washed your face? Garnished your mouth? Have you eaten breakfast?" Then she turned to Xiao Rui'er and said, "Let's ignore the sloppy little aunt!"

The little girl looked like she understood the words, her big eyes were fixed on Mrs. Xu, her small mouth was slightly opened, and she said "ohhhhhhhhhhhhh" twice.

Mrs. Zhang leaned on the bed, covered her mouth with a chuckle, deliberately helped Mrs. Xu, and said to Ye Qing: "Go and wash your face and mouth, and come back after eating breakfast. Mother made meat porridge today!"

Ye Qing pretended to be very angry, hummed, and went to wash and eat.

After Ye Qing went out, Xu remembered that two days ago someone had brought a message to Zhang Xiu's family, but it had been almost ten days, and Zhang Xiu's family hadn't seen her yet.After thinking for a while, he said: "Xiu Niang, your parents didn't have time to come and see you. Is it because the family has a lot of farm work? Otherwise, let Junbei go over and help for two days?"

Seeing Xu's mentioning her parents, Zhang Xiu shook her head with a wry smile. After being silent for a long time, she said, "Mother, why did my parents come here when the married daughter splashed water?"

Presumably, they don't know that the Ye family has built a new house and lived a good life.Otherwise, my two brothers would have come to the door long ago!Why!
Seeing that her sad matter was brought up, Mrs. Xu quickly comforted her.But my heart is full of self-blame, this is fine, why mention their family?
-

After Ye Qing finished his breakfast, he started to get busy again, there was no time to amuse the children.

After Xu got up in the morning and was busy with the kitchen, he went to take the children.The pigs and chickens in the backyard have not had time to feed.Ye Qing, like in the past, chopped green vegetables and fed them with rice bran to the chickens, and then scooped up rice bran mixed with rotten water to feed the pigs.

I'm busy with other things these days, and I don't have time to pay attention to other things.It's rare to have such a short time today, Ye Qing suddenly remembered why he didn't hear the cat meowing, and didn't see that pet turtle.Thinking about it carefully, I haven't seen it for a long time.

Could it be that the cat ate the turtle and ran away by itself?
She thought about it carefully, then shook her head again, if that's the case, that white kitten would be fine!

Ye Qing has always disliked that white cat, but now that it disappeared, he felt a little lost, walked to the door of Zhang Xiu's room, and then asked, "Mother, where is our cat? By the way, there is also my little turtle." .”

Xu didn't expect the cat and the tortoise to disappear these days, Ye Qing came to ask.If Ye Qing didn't mention it, she would have forgotten about it.

"I see that you don't like it. I think its meowing is annoying. I discussed it with your father and gave it away." After Xu finished speaking with a smile, he lowered his head to tease the child again.

Ye Qing was touched by the meticulous care of her parents, but she didn't forget the tortoise that Xu said she missed.Is it possible that it was eaten by a cat?
"Mom, what about the tortoise?"

"turtle..turtle"

Seeing Xu's hesitation, Zhang Xiu was very embarrassed, so she simply took over the conversation, "The second aunt brought the fourth brother over a few days ago, and the fourth brother saw that he liked it, so she took it with her when she left. Besides the turtle, I also took it with me." Gave our family a bunch of fat intestines."

"Xiu Niang..." Xu Shi didn't expect Zhang Xiu to say everything without any concealment. She was afraid that Ye Qing would be angry, so she quickly turned to Ye Qing and said, "Qingqing, mother asked your elder brother to net you another one, don't be sad." ah."

Ye Qing broke Tang's spit in his heart, and then smiled and said to Xu: "Mother, I'll go to work first." As soon as she walked to the yard, she saw Wu Yan came back with a bow and arrow on his back.

For the first time, Ye Qing really saw Wu Yan return empty-handed for the first time.

Seeing Wu Yan coming in dejectedly, Ye Qing couldn't help being curious, and wanted to ask him the reason for returning empty-handed.But Wu Yan was the first to speak: "Qingqing, I heard from Chunya two days ago that you are going to the pine forest to collect pine oil, are you still going?"

"Go, of course." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he turned around and ran into the house to pick up two baskets, and then ran out again, "Let's go, you go with me, the more the better."

Walking to the edge of the pine forest, Ye Qing's eyes were wide open, there is a large area in front of him, full of lush pine trees, forming a perennial pine forest.Walking into the woods, the needle-like fallen leaves are layered on the ground, and people step on them, rustling.

Pine cones, large and small, can be seen everywhere on the ground; and pine trees are also covered with large and small pine cones. The older the tree, the bigger the pine cones it bears.After Ye Qing was surprised, his heart also itch.

The pine cones on the ground fall naturally after they are ripe, and the shells have all been opened.Ye Qing randomly picked up a relatively large pine cone, carefully observed it, and carefully peeled off the shell, the pine nuts in the shell were already empty.

Ye Qing took a look, and didn't know if it was rotten, or it was eaten away by the moths under the dead leaves.

After Ye Qing thought about it carefully, he raised his head and looked up at the pine cones on the big tree, thinking of climbing up the tree to find out.If there are still pine nuts in the pine cones on this tree, take them all back and fry them into pine nuts to eat or sell them, will they make a fortune a year ago?
It's just that these trees have been growing for many years, and the height varies from a few meters, a dozen meters, or tens of meters. How can I climb up it?

"Qingqing, look, are you looking for this kind of pine oil?"

Ye Qing was still fantasizing about pine nuts and silver, Wu Yan had already held a small lump of turpentine and approached her and asked.

Ye Qing looked at the brown resin in his hand, stretched out his hand to take it, squeezed it with his index finger and thumb, it was sticky and sticky, it really was what she wanted.But she was thinking about the pine cones on the tree, looked carefully at the nearby tree trunks, and then said, "Wu Yan, I'm going to collect pine oil, can you do me a favor?"
