Defeat natural disasters with farming

Chapter 66 Roast Leg of Lamb

Ye Yu took a nap for an hour, and when he woke up, there was no one around him. He rubbed his eyes and rolled over to get out of bed. As soon as he went out, he saw Mother Ye walking towards this side with a water basin.

"Wake up? Hurry up and wash your face."

The cold well water dissipated the heat generated by the afternoon nap, Ye Yu let out a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Did dad and elder brother come back?"

Mother Ye nodded, and replied: "I'm back, but your elder brother is not feeling well, and has gone back to the house to rest."

"What's going on? Did you invite Dr. Hao to come and see?" Ye Yu hurriedly asked after hearing the words.

"Brother Hai said he was tired because he didn't sleep all night, it's not worth calling a doctor, he'll be fine after a night of sleep." Seeing that he had finished washing his face, Mother Ye handed over the towel that was placed by the basin.

Ye Yu took the towel and wiped his face clean, then put it back.

"Your father is in the main room." Mother Ye gave an extra order before leaving, "Run slower."

The main room was full of people at this time, and when Chu Xufeng saw Ye Yu approaching, he moved aside to make room for him.

Jia took a look at him and continued, "Dongfeng Village is made up of some homeless refugees. Most of them don't know each other, and they don't have any sense of loyalty. The prisoners are almost all the young and middle-aged people in the village. From my point of view, the entire Dongfeng Village may have been empty when we passed by."

He went to interrogate the captives, and he knew what he knew by asking a few questions.

Father Ye pondered for a while, then asked, "How did they know about our village?"

"This is also a coincidence. They robbed Heishi Village, and asked the villagers of Heishi Village about the wealthier villages nearby. Yejia Village was their first target. If successful, they would follow Huangtu Village and Jingshan Village."

These two are the villages where Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye's natal families live. As for Heishi Village, it is also a fairly wealthy village. Although there are few villagers, because it is close to the county seat, their lives are quite comfortable.

After the interrogation revealed the cause and effect, the villagers of Yejia Village were relieved. They were afraid of encountering ruthless professional bandits, but there was nothing to be afraid of such a vagrant-turned-rogue.

The same was true for Father Ye. After hearing the news, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and then he told his family that he was about to take over as the village chief.

Old man Ye paused when he heard the words, and said happily: "This is a good thing, no one in our branch has been a village head for a long time!"

Because the branch of their family is the smallest, Old Man Ye only has two cousins. The first cousin died of illness early and had no children, which is equivalent to being extinct. The second cousin has two sons, but he is partial, and has been searching for the younger son's subsidy all year round. The eldest son and the younger son left the village angrily and have not returned for all these years.

The previous village heads of Ye Family Village were all surnamed Ye, but not all belonged to the same branch. Ye Yu’s family belonged to one branch, the current village chief’s branch belonged to Ye Tongsheng’s branch, and Ye Shuan’s father also belonged to one branch. There are also a few people with the surname outside who are united together, headed by Wang Jian, who can speak in the village.

"When you become the village head, you will have a good life and benefit the village." Old man Ye earnestly enjoined: "Lead the villagers to live a good life."

"Don't worry." Ye's father has actually been a generous person since he was a child. Otherwise, he would not be able to do the two things of secretly serving in the military and defending General Chu. Now that he has the opportunity to become the village chief, he naturally wants to let the villagers Live better.

Old man Ye knew his youngest son well, so he shut up when he heard this, his face was full of joy, and he was still thinking about going back and offering incense to his ancestors to tell them the good news.

"There is also a hind leg of lamb at home. Today our family has a double happiness, and we will roast it for you without waiting for the New Year!" Mrs. Ye thought about it for a while, and then announced happily.

Ye Jing cheered, "Grandma, I'll help you."

Yemu is in charge of roasting the sheep.

The whole hind leg of the lamb was cut open by her, and it was marinated with marinade in a basin for an hour. When the flavor was fully absorbed, Mother Ye inserted an iron skewer into the leg of the lamb from top to bottom. Fix it on the stove and slowly roast it over the flame.

She handed Ye Jing a bowl of sauce she had prepared in her hand, "Use a brush to brush it on slowly, you can apply a few more layers, and the taste will be even better."

Ye Jing took the brush and smeared a layer of sauce on the oily leg of lamb, and gradually a mellow smell came out. He couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth when he smelled it, and decided in his heart that in the future, he must use all the delicacies made at home. Learn all the skills.

The meat of the roasted leg of lamb is delicate, and the outer layer of thin shell is crispy and crispy. It tastes like it is jumping between the lips and teeth.

Even Ye Yu, who doesn't like mutton, ate several pieces.

However, Ye Hai couldn't see such a delicious leg of lamb. When he came out and saw a plate of meat, he vomited all over the floor.

This made Ye Boss and his wife suddenly worried, one supported Ye Hai, and the other brought a bowl of tea.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Ye asked worriedly: "Is there something wrong with the stomach? Why don't you ask Dr. Hao to come over?"

Ye Hai rinsed his mouth, and after recovering from the burst of strength, he said: "It's nothing, no need to ask a doctor, I just haven't gotten used to it for a while."

Didn't get used to what?

Ye Yu was the first to react. He thought of the battle last night, until now there were pools of blood on the ground, and he wanted to gag when he smelled the bloody smell. One can imagine how much the battle last night was. Fierce, I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say that it's bloody and bloody. Ye Hai is just a young boy. He has killed chickens and ducks at most in these years. It is normal for him to be unable to adapt for a while.

So he said to Mrs. Ye: "Grandma, cook some porridge for elder brother, and put some pickles out."

Granny Ye quickly understood, and she quickly replied: "Okay, eldest daughter-in-law, you can take Brother Hai back to the house first, and I will cook the porridge and send it to him."

After the two returned to the house, Old Man Ye sighed heavily, "What a crime."

Although he sighed, he didn't say to let Ye Hai withdraw from the village soldiers. Now that the world has changed, they have to adapt quickly. It is estimated that there will be no less bloody incidents like this in the future.

Everyone else understood that this hurdle could only be crossed by Ye Hai himself.

Fortunately, there are many people in their family who have been on the battlefield, including the guards brought by Father Ye and Chu Xufeng, and even Master Wu has seen blood on his hands. They talked with Ye Hai in turn, and within a few days, Ye Hai Hai got used to it and slowly began to eat meat.

During this period, Father Ye and Ye Shuan took Jia Yi and others to Dongfeng Village. The location of the village turned out to be a remote village. The bandits knew that they should not be too ostentatious. As they expected, they just passed by It was found that the village was empty, but nothing of any use was left.

After the group returned to the village, they discussed for a while and unanimously decided to kill all the captives. In fact, the five captives were seriously injured. Three of them died of serious injuries, and the remaining two were dying.

Each of these bandits had at least one human life on their hands, so Father Ye and the others did not soften their hearts when they attacked.

The incident of bandits came to an end temporarily, but everyone in the village became vigilant, for fear that real bandits would come to rob them in the future, because they might not be able to relax like this time.

When the tense atmosphere in the village was gradually filled, the village head Ye took advantage of his health, called a village meeting with all the villagers in the ancestral hall, and announced that the new head of Yejia Village was Ye Chengnan.

His words caused an uproar in an instant, but the villagers all accepted Ye Chengnan's affection, let alone the cement made by his organization, which is used by every household in the village, so they were only surprised for a while, and soon calmed down After coming down, they all agreed with Ye Chengnan to take over as the village head.

Father Ye can't say beautiful words, but he can do practical things. The first thing he did after taking over as the village head was to invite the martial arts master to teach the village soldiers and teach them some martial arts.

In exchange, Master Wu and his party can use cement to build a house in the village, and after a while, they can also buy a few mu of land from the village to completely stabilize themselves.

Master Wu discussed with his senior sister Master Yue for a while, and agreed to the matter not long after.

And Chu Xufeng also suggested that the guards around him can train the village soldiers. Maybe they are not as good as Master Wu in terms of martial arts skills, but when it comes to practicing military formations, Master Wu is not as good as them even if he flatters them.

Father Ye was very happy about this.

The tense atmosphere in the village gradually dissipated, and the better news is that the villagers began to accept Master Wu and the others.

Therefore, when they built their houses, the villagers would help them whenever they had free time. With their help, the three houses were quickly built, and they could move in after only needing ventilation.

The three houses were all built near Ye Yu's house, mainly because it was close to Songshan, and the vacant space was quite large enough to build three houses. In addition, Master Wu and the others wanted to go hunting in Songshan after they settled down. The closer the better.

Master Wu lived with his apprentices, Master Yue lived with his daughter and bodyguards, and the remaining house was where Chu Xufeng lived with his ten guards.

It was already October when all the houses were built, and the weather was still hot, but everyone was used to this temperature.

Chu Xufeng is showing Ye Yu around his house.

The whole house is not too big, except for Chu Xufeng who lives in one room, the other two share one room. The kitchen, latrine, and vegetable bed have everything you need, and the dark gray walls are covered with a layer of cement.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Chu Xufeng saw cement, and such a magical thing rarely made him feel surprised. Ye Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw his dazed look.

Proudly said: "Cement is much stronger than the original material."

"Good stuff!" Chu Xufeng touched the dried cement on the wall and praised: "I don't know how you came up with it."

In fact, what Cement wants is that sliver of inspiration. Ye Yu got the inspiration by cheating. Really, I have to thank the book space.

He said with bright eyes: "Cement can still pave roads. When conditions permit in the future, it will be convenient and safe to pave a cement road in the village."

With cement roads, even bicycles and tricycles can be made. The further the cement road is paved, the two things can become a new type of transportation.

This is just Ye Yu's wish, but he believes that one day in the future this wish will be realized.

Chu Xufeng looked at him tenderly when he heard the words, and replied, "I'll be with you."

Ye Yu smiled slightly, and clenched his right fist into Chu Xufeng's right fist, "It's a deal."
