Parents are busy farming

After finally finishing their work, Ye Yongwang and Wang Tinghe also came back from a stroll in the backyard.

"You two are here, where are the two sisters?" Wang Tinghe asked nervously, his tone a bit tough.

"The two of them are asleep. I will use the ox cart to take away these two tanks of pickled vegetables tomorrow, so I will ask the third sister to come over and help." Ye Zifen replied while working.

"After you're done, let's make some food! I think Lao Li didn't eat when he got home." Ye Yongwang said.

"I guess so. After finishing these, I will make him some pimple soup and let him have a cushion first before dealing with the offal I bought." Ye Zifen said.

"By the way, Dad, did you give me water for my bean sprouts this morning?" Ye Zifen asked.

"Vote, I think you can soak the beans."

"Yeah! Grind it out in a while and drink the syrup at night."

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, she finished her work.

After washing her hands, Ye Zifei went back to the house to put the soles of her shoes and looked at her two younger sisters.

Ye Zifen cut two pieces of cabbage, mixed some white flour, lit the fire and made a pimple soup for Lao Li, and finally beat an egg before serving.

After putting fodder for the animals, Lao Li was cleaning the cowshed.

Seeing Ye Zifen coming to the backyard carrying a large bowl of pimple soup, she dropped the broom in her hand and stepped forward to take the tray.

"You eat first, then grind the beans with me after you finish. I plan to make some tofu and drink soy milk at night."

When Ye Zifen handed the tray to Lao Li, she said smoothly.

It has been a month since Lao Li came to this house, and they have become familiar with each other, so there is no need to be so polite.

"Okay! I'll clean the millstone later." After Lao Li took the tray into his room, he came out and washed his hands again.

Ye Zifen took advantage of this time to clean up the internal organs that he had brought back, and planned to make something first in the evening.

Ye Yongwang sent his wife back to the house. Seeing that there was nothing going on outside, he planned to go out for a walk.

Not far after walking out, I saw Lu Dashan.

Seeing it from a distance, he was still a little embarrassed, but he soon felt relieved.

"Uncle, you're taking a walk too!" Ye Yongwang greeted first.

When Lu Dashan heard his son calling him uncle, he was stunned at first, and then felt sad.

"Hmm!" After saying this, he stopped talking and just looked at Ye Yongwang quietly.

Just when Ye Yongwang was about to leave, Lu Dashan suddenly said: "Don't blame your mother. It was not easy for your mother to give birth to you back then. She just had complaints about adopting you! After all, you are our biological flesh and blood, how could she I don’t hurt you!”

As Ye Yongwang listened, he also thought about what happened when he was a child. At that time, Lu Yongfu was not born yet, and his mother loved him and his second brother very much. Later, he was adopted, and his mother would come to see him every day.

Everything changed until the third brother was born. My mother seemed to accept the fact that he was adopted, but she would still choke on her aunt from time to time.

"I know." Apart from these three words, he didn't know what else to say.

"Alas! We are your parents at all times. Come and tell us if you have anything."

After Lu Dashan said this, he left.

Ye Yongwang looked at the staggering Lu Dashan, and his heart suddenly softened again.

Ye Zifen changed the water for the soaked beans and asked Ye Yongwang to help lift them to the backyard.

Lao Li has already cleaned the millstone.

Originally, Lao Li wanted to push the millstone, but Ye Zifen stopped him, "Bring in the donkey. If you have livestock, use it. Don't embarrass others."

Then Lao Li led the donkey, and Ye Zifen placed the beans on the small opening on the top of the millstone one spoon at a time.

The ground soybean juice flows into the wooden barrel under the groove.

Half an hour later, Zifen felt that her hands were freezing before she finished grinding the beans.

Lao Li carried two buckets of bean juice into the kitchen and poured it into the pot. Ye Zifei had already lit the fire.

Ye Zifen first washed her hands with cold water and then rinsed them with warm water.

This can prevent frostbite on your hands, and also prevent your hands from suddenly becoming congested, itchy, and hot.

After she took care of her hands, she used a spoon to stir the bean juice in the pot until it boiled.

She cut out a piece of white cloth and filtered out the residue from the bean juice.

After continuing to heat it, put it out in a large basin and let them drink it in the evening.

Then dissolve the gypsum bought from the drug store with water and pour it into the pot bit by bit, stirring constantly. Stop pouring the gypsum when there is condensed objects inside.

Still stirring constantly.

Then wash the white cloth that was used to filter the bean dregs and put it on a basin. Use a ladle to scoop the tofu inside onto the white cloth. Finally, tie the white cloth into a knot and place it on a large reverse basin with a wooden board on top. .

While Ye Zifen was making paste, she had already made a pot of steamed buns.

At this time, all you need to do is stir-fry something, eh! After pondering for a moment, I decided to make fried pork with potato slices.

After the meal was finished, I gave a portion to Lao Li, and the family began to eat.

"You made tofu, bring a piece to the old house tomorrow! Your grandma likes to eat it. When your aunt was alive, she always made it for your grandma to eat." Ye Yongwang's words made the sisters stunned on the spot.

What's going on, why should Hao Hao continue to interact with Laozhai?

"Did you meet your uncle today?" Ye Zifen asked guessingly.

"Well! Your grandpa is much older." After all, he is Ye Yongwang's biological father, how could he not have feelings!

Ye Zifen grabbed Ye Yefei who wanted to refute and said, "Okay."

Then everyone ate quietly.

After the meal, the two sisters cleared the table, and Ye Zifei finally couldn't help but ask the questions in her heart.

"Why did you agree to give them something?"

"Do you care about giving them things or about your father's attitude? You want to completely cut off from them, but my father never wants to completely cut off contact with them. They are his biological parents."

Ye Zifen looked at the angry Ye Zifei calmly.

"But the second sister and the fourth sister died because of that man." Ye Zifei said reluctantly.

"Yes, I haven't forgotten, but it has nothing to do with whether I give them something or not. What's wrong with giving something? Everyone in the village I want to give it to will know, and it will also make our sisters' reputation even higher. "

Ye Zifen is already thinking about how to deal with this matter most appropriately.

If Ye Yongwang knew Ye Zifen's thoughts, he would definitely regret this proposal.

Early the next morning, Ye Zifen got up.

She went out to find a few villagers and Lao Li to move two tanks of pickled vegetables to an ox cart, and then drove the ox cart to the county.

Leave breakfast to Ye Zifei.

Ye Zifei was not good at cooking, and she was very disappointed with Ye Yongwang's words last night, so she made a very makeshift breakfast.

Regardless of this, Zhi Zifen drove an ox cart to the county town and went straight to the condiment shop.

The condiment shop opened very early today, and they were also waiting for Ye Zifendi to arrive.

The merchant who wanted to buy sauerkraut had also arrived. He was very disappointed when he saw a little girl coming in.

"How many are there?" the businessman asked when he came up, his tone a bit dejected.

It turned out that shopkeeper Hong didn't tell him the specific number because he was afraid that Ye Zifen wouldn't be able to produce so much goods.

"Two jars of flavored radishes." Before Ye Zifen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the merchant.

"Is that all? I've been waiting all day in vain." He complained.

"There are also two large tanks of sauerkraut." Ye Zifen continued quickly.

When the merchant heard this, he immediately went out and saw two particularly large tanks that were firmly tied to the bullock cart.

"I think we can just put it on the boat, so we don't have to go back and forth anymore." Lu Shang suggested sheepishly.

Shopkeeper Hong also came out. After hearing what he said, he immediately nodded and said: "That's good, it saves trouble!"

Then Ye Zifen drove the ox cart to the dock.

There are many porters on the dock, and of course there are also larger boats.

Everyone worked together and finally moved two tanks of sauerkraut onto the merchant ship.

The merchant came over to settle the bill with shopkeeper Hong.

"This should be the last time I come here this year. The canal will freeze soon. The sales are good this time. We will continue our long-term cooperation next year."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen immediately took out the piece of paper in his pocket.

How to eat sauerkraut is written on the paper.

When this note was handed to the businessman, his eyes immediately lit up.
