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

Chapter 66 Mung Bean and Pumpkin Soup

In order to make enough money for digging the pond, Ye Qing went with the younger brother to see Boss Xiong at the Huiduoke restaurant the next day when he came to drag the snails.On the surface, he went to the city to add some things, mainly to ask Boss Xiong for money.

Every day, the mistress would bring Ye Qing the money that Ye Junbei and Wu Yan used to pick up snails, but boss Xiong thought the amount would be large, so he didn't want the mistress to take it with him. He wanted to go to Pingle Village, but he couldn't do it. Time, they can only urge Ye Qing to go to the restaurant to settle the settlement with him.

The contract stated that it would be [-] to [-] percent, but the business of Spicy Escargot was very good, and four barrels could be sold every day, sometimes not enough.Boss Xiong saw that the profit was good, so he proposed to share [-]% with Ye Qing.Seeing that it's been almost a month, Ye Qing didn't go to the city to get the share, he himself was in a hurry.

Seeing Ye Qing enter the door with sharp eyes, Xiong Jie immediately greeted him with a smile, "Girl, you've come, if you don't come, Uncle Xiong, I'll take your share!"

Faced with Xiong Jie's ridicule, Ye Qing smiled instead of anger, and said indifferently: "I believe in Uncle Xiong's character, besides, Uncle Xiong is in big business, so he won't worry about my little money!"

"She is a girl who does great things!" Xiong Jie finished his compliment with a smile, and then said: "Come on, let's go to the house to eat and chat!"

"No, I'm still in a hurry to go back!" After Ye Qing refused, he told Xiong Jie about digging the pond.

Xiong Jie listened very seriously, and also admired Ye Qing's ability to think about things so far at such a young age. This little girl's foresight and foresight is even far better than his own. Yes, it is really good, he is really not mistaken people!

Because in the first half month, in order to build up the reputation of spicy snails, Xiong Jie often carried out promotions according to Ye Qing's idea. After half a month, they sold a lot, but the profit was not much.Xiong Jie calculated according to the daily income and expenditure and cost, and soon handed over the part of the money that belonged to Ye Qing to her.

Not too much, but not too little—30 taels of silver!

Ye Qing carefully put the money into his pocket, thanked Xiong Jie and left.She has been to the city several times, and she is familiar with the roads. At least after shopping, she did not get lost, but found a donkey cart to take her back to Pingle Village.

She wanted to hire a horse-drawn carriage, but it cost twice as much money to hire a horse-drawn carriage than to hire a donkey-drawn cart. Moreover, she was afraid that people in the village would make irresponsible remarks, so she endured the bumps and went home in a donkey-drawn cart.

Ye Qing counted her current taels of silver, today's 30 taels, after deducting today's expenses, you have 26 taels left, plus the remaining 18 taels for living at home, a total of 44 taels.The money is enough to dig ponds, but it is difficult to repair brick houses after spending all the money!
She was in a dilemma, finally gritted her teeth and decided to dig the pond first!

Although the Ye family wanted to dig a pond to store water earlier, the sun was scorching hot for several days, and the rapeseed was ripe early. The villagers were busy harvesting the rapeseed, and none of the villagers came out to work.The people in the Ye family were in a hurry, but the rapeseed in their own field was ripe, yellow and burnt, so they could only go out to harvest sooner or later, which delayed the time again.

Ye Pingrong, Mrs. Xu and Ye Jun went to the field to harvest rapeseed at dawn, Mrs. Zhang could only rest at home with her big belly, occasionally helping Ye Qing with some light work.Ye Qing gets up early every day, feeds the chickens, feeds the pigs, cooks breakfast, frys the snails, cleans up the housework, does laundry and cooks, and goes around busy every day.

Wu Yan went hunting in the morning, and went to the river with Ye Junbei to pick up snails in the afternoon. Everyone lived a fulfilling life.

Seeing that Wu Yan helped them pick up snails and gave them two wild boars, Ye Qing discussed with his parents to share a wild boar with Wu Yan during Chinese New Year.And half of the money for picking up snails is given to him, after all, this is also the result of his labor.

Both Ye Pingrong and Xu's are honest people, never greedy for petty gain, since Ye Qing brought it up, how could they find a reason to say no?Ye Qing got the approval of his parents, so he went to give money to Wu Yan.This time, it was the first time since seeing Wu Yan's body last time that he took the initiative to find him!

"Qingqing, I can't accept this money, I owe your family enough!" He eats at Ye's family every now and then, and Ye's family treats him very well, so how could he have the nerve to accept her money?
"What nonsense are you talking about? You follow my elder brother to pick up snails in the river every day. You deserve it. If it weren't for your help, wouldn't we have to hire someone?"

Ye Qing was soft and hard, his mouth was worn out, but he didn't say anything.She thought about it for a long time, but suddenly had an idea, put the money into Wu Yan's hand, and said in a low voice: "If you don't get enough money for the next job, how will you marry me in the future?" After she finished speaking, she blushed. , immediately fled.

Wu Yan held the purse carrying her remaining warmth, and froze on the spot for a while without reacting.

He thought for a long time before he recovered from his happiness. What she meant was that she was going to marry him?Is she implying that she has prepared enough dowry money earlier?Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth raised a nice smile.

When Ye Qing came home, his parents and elder brother had gone out to work again, Mrs. Zhang was also resting at home.She thought about nothing, and remembered the mung beans she bought in the city, so she quickly ran to the kitchen to look for pumpkins.

The weather is hot and dry, and a pot of pumpkin and mung bean soup is the best way to relieve the heat.Ye Qing has always been a man of action, he does what he says, he doesn't procrastinate at all.

She rubbed the mung beans with salt several times, soaked them in water, and then cleaned the pumpkin skin.Don't look at the yellow and bright pumpkin, but this layer of skin must be peeled off, otherwise the boiled soup will not taste good at all, and the pumpkin pieces will not taste good.

After Ye Qing peeled off the skin of the pumpkin, he chopped the pumpkin into chunks and put it in a clay vat for later use.This pumpkin can't be boiled together with mung beans, otherwise, all the pumpkins will be boiled and the mung beans will not be cooked yet.Wait until the mung bean paste is cooked, then pour the pumpkin pieces down, and stir frequently to promote the mung bean paste to dissolve into the pumpkin.

After the pumpkin soup is cooked, pour in rock sugar or white sugar, stir evenly, and then it will be ready to serve.If you freeze the mung bean soup in the well and drink it after half a day, it will be even better!

Ye Qing extinguished the fire in the stove, put mung bean soup into a clay basin, put it in a basket, and hung it into the well.When Dad, Mother and Da come back from work, they can drink the iced pumpkin and mung bean soup. This taste is definitely very authentic!
After she had done all this, she went to the pigsty in the backyard to throw pigweed, the two little black pigs saw Ye Qing coming, and kept "groaning" at her.Ye Qing threw the last handful of pigweed in the basket to them, and the two little black pigs rushed to eat grass.

Ye Qing glanced at the two greedy things, then he carried the basket and went to the field to hunt pigweed.This pig will be saved until Dongyue kills it, and now it is the piglets. She needs to feed them with more grass so that they can grow fat and strong.

But Ye Qing didn't expect that the moment he left the yard, he ran into an unexpected guest!
