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

Chapter 176 Picking Pine Cones 2
After Qi Su was teased secretly by Ye Qing, he took the rope and bamboo pole angrily and went to another place.If you are afraid of climbing a big pine tree that is 40 to 20 meters high, why not just change to a dwarf pine tree that is [-] meters high?

After escaping from Ye Qing, Qi Su walked around the area, raised his head and swept over, unexpectedly saw Qiu Sheng who was straddling a branch of a tree and vigorously beating the pine cone.With that mighty movement and the ruthlessness of his attack, he didn't consider that he was standing high in the air at all.

With Qiusheng's slapping, the pine cones fell like rain, and the spring buds under the tree bowed to pick up the pine cones, and went around busy.Qi Su just wanted to go over to say hello to Chunya, but Ye Qing followed behind him lingeringly, telling him to climb the tree quickly.

Because of the efforts of the three men, the speed at which Ye Qing and Chunya picked up the pine cones was far behind the speed at which the three of them were able to knock down the pine cones and climb the trees.After Wu Yan successfully photographed more than a dozen trees, he stopped climbing, marked the pine trees he had photographed one by one, and went to help Ye Qing pick up the pine cones.

Seeing that the baskets he had picked out were almost full, Qiu Sheng also went to help Chun Ya.And Qisu was born rich and honored, he was exhausted from climbing trees and so on, seeing that he didn't go back so soon, he fell back on the ground to take a nap.

Gathering the strength of everyone today, the harvest was good. After all the four baskets picked up were full, there were still many left on the ground that had not been picked up.Ye Qing asked everyone to put the scattered pine cones together, pick out the ones in the frame, and then put the rest back.

"Qingqing, what do you want so many pine cones for?" After Chunya asked, she felt that she had asked the wrong question. Besides lighting fire, what else could this pine cone do?So he asked again: "Is there no firewood in your house?"

Seeing that Chun Ya didn't get the point, Qiu Sheng took Ye Qing's words and replied, "Where is it? This pine cone can take up a lot of space, and a bunch of them can't cook a meal. Besides, even if you really pick it up and cook it Rice, why didn't Qingqing pick up the dry ones on the ground? That would save time and effort." After speaking, he looked at Ye Qing and asked with a smile, "Am I right?"

Ye Qing smiled and nodded, full of admiration for Qiu Sheng.Qiu Sheng's mind is much smarter than Chun Ya's, maybe it's not that the girl is stupid, but his mind is too simple, he may not think about other things besides eating and sleeping, getting married and having a baby.

When Chun Ya heard that Qiu Sheng was right and she was wrong, she blushed immediately and asked, "Then why do you need so many pine cones?"

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Ye Qing covered his mouth and laughed out loud.But after resting for a while, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "I won't tell you for now. If you are free these few days, you will still help me pick up the pine cones. When the time comes, I will definitely not let you regret it."

"Hmph, not to mention pulling down!"

Chunya pursed her lips, looking unhappy, but she lowered her head and continued to pick up the pine cones.

When it was close to noon, apart from Ye Qing, the four people including Chun Ya each carried a load of pine cones and went back.Chun Ya is an expert at doing farm work, Qi Su is a man who has to do it, but Ye Qing alone, seeing her small stature, everyone took extra care of her and let her go home empty-handed.

Picking up the pine cones home, Ye Qing asked everyone to dump the pine cones in the yard, and take advantage of the sun to dry them well.

In fact, the water in these pine cones has evaporated due to natural drying. It has not rained these days, and it is very dry, so it is okay not to dry them.But Ye Qing thought, with the sun outside, it doesn't hurt to spend another day in the sun.

"Aunt Xu, is the meal ready? I'm so hungry!"

Qisu was a foodie, he threw the burden on the ground, then raised his hand to rub his sore shoulder, shouting and ran to the kitchen where the cooking smoke was coming out, he could already smell the aroma of the food.

Hearing the yelling in the yard, Mrs. Xu came out of the main room with her baby in her arms. When she saw the pine cones all over the yard, she was shocked.Looking at Ye Qing who was drying in the sun, he said: "Qingqing, what are you doing with so many pine cones? It's going to rain today, and there is no place to put them back. After getting wet, I have to turn them out and dry them again when the sun comes out."

Ye Qing turned around and said to her: "Mother, I'm not just picking up firewood, don't worry, I won't get caught in the heavy rain." After saying this, he remembered that Qi Su hadn't come out of the kitchen, and said curiously, "Mother, are you holding firewood?" Rui'er, is my father or elder brother cooking in the kitchen?"

Speaking of cooking, Xu's face turned into a flower with a smile, and he raised his voice and said: "Your father and your eldest brother can only eat, how can they cook? Your brother Qiusheng is here, come here Just help me cook, I still feel bad!"

Qiu Sheng had just picked up the burden and was about to go to the pine forest with Wu Yan again to pick up the remaining pine cones. When he heard that Mrs. Xun was cooking in Ye's kitchen, he looked at the kitchen in surprise and asked, "Where is my mother?" cooking?"

In his impression, the relationship between the Xun family and the Ye family is not too close!
"Well, today is thanks to your mother, otherwise, we would have to have gruel again at noon today!"

Due to the presence of the Ye family, Qiu Sheng just smiled, he didn't have the nerve to go in and ask his mother what she meant today, so he went to pick the pine cone with Wu Yan.

Because Mrs. Xun was there, after lunch, she helped to clean the pig offal, and after brine the pig offal, it was a little bit later.Taking advantage of a lot of time, Ye Qing dragged Wu Yan and the others together, and went to the pine forest again.

Mrs. Xun came to help for several days in a row. Du Juan also came to see Zhang Xiu with the baby in her arms. After the baby fell asleep, she also rolled up her sleeves to help.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so enthusiastic, which made Xu feel very sorry.

Ye Qing also hinted to the Xun family that there is no need to do something deliberate for some special reasons.But Xunshi just laughed, and never refused to do what he could.

In the end, Ye Qing had no choice but to let her go, while he seized the time to go to the pine forest to pick pine cones as much as possible.

Looking at the pine cones piled up in the yard, and recalling the hard work of the past few days, Chun Ya and Qi Su were still at a loss. Why did they bother to pick up so many pine cones?
Chunya held an extra-large pine cone in both hands and looked at it, and said listlessly: "Qingqing, what are you doing with these pine cones?"

Ye Qing looked at her and Qi Su, and thought: If I tell you now that this is edible, you two will probably eat these pine cones raw.Thinking of this, Ye Qing lowered his head and snickered, but then again, he really wanted to see the two of them eating pine cones like squirrels!

"Ye Qing, why are you kidding? If you don't say anything, I won't help you pick up pine cones in the future. Hmph, it's not fun at all." After picking up pine cones for a few days, my back hurts, it's too uncomfortable up!

Ye Qing still closed his eyes and shook his head, pretending to be deep and said: "Buddha said don't say it, Buddha said don't say it!"

Just when Qi Su was about to rush up to tear off Ye Qing's calm face in desperation, his forehead was hit by raindrops from the sky, and he shouted loudly: "It's raining, it's raining."

After the words fell, the people standing under the eaves had rushed to the yard to grab the pine cones.
