At night, there are a few lanterns hanging on the dirt roads on both sides of the village, just enough to illuminate people, and I heard that this is the thought that Li Zhenghua has.

The shabby low house was inconspicuous in a row of houses, like a snake's tail.

Ye Jinyan walked to the door and knocked on the door, and heard the sound of squirming from inside, and his mood improved a lot.

Opening the door, Ye Jinyu's eyes were as bright as stars, he screamed, rushed into Ye Jinyan's arms, and said sullenly: "Sister, you are finally back." ”

Ye Jinyan touched his little brain: "How have you eaten in the past two days?" ”

Ye Jinyu nodded desperately: "It's good to eat." ”

After entering, Ye Jinyan looked at the table, and sure enough, the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up.

She reached out and pinched Ye Jinyu's face, and asked softly, "What have you eaten these days?" ”

Ye Jinyu's eyes lit up, he pulled Ye Jinyan to the kitchen, opened the cauldron, and there were a few bowls of fresh braised beef below, and he said with a smile: "Sister, I found that cooking is really a hard job." ”

Ye Jinyan looked at the braised pork and frowned, knowing that it must not have been made by Ye Jinyu.

It's just a child, but in addition to the complicated process of making braised pork, the first question is where does the pork come from.

It couldn't have been him who went to kill someone else's pig in the middle of the night.

Ye Jinyan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are these dishes sent by Aunt Wu?" ”

"Huh? Sister, how did you guess? Ye Jinyu was a little surprised, and then smiled shyly, "I thought that sister, you would believe in my ability." ”

"Of course I believe you, but when you grow up, it's a fantasy that you can make this plate of braised pork at such a young age." Ye Jinyan reached out and knocked on his head.

"This is sent by Brother Zhao Long." Ye Jinyu touched his head and smiled shyly, "Brother Zhao Long is kind to me, and he also taught me to play games, before the people in the village said that he was a fool, I don't think he is stupid at all." ”

Ye Jinyan looked at the braised pork and kept this good in his heart.

The process of preserved eggs is not very complicated, all that is needed is materials and time, although there is no high-tech and no mobile phone and Baidu, but she has a lot of research on the method of making preserved eggs.

The day before yesterday, there was a heavy rainstorm in the town, but fortunately the village did not suffer, otherwise they would not have been able to sleep today. Ye Jinyu has been holding Ye Jinyan's waist since Ye Jinyan came back, for fear that she would leave, it seems that in fact, the little man who said on the surface that he could handle everything is still very afraid.

After Ye Jinyan lulled him to sleep, he sat up and walked to the table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote down the materials needed for the preserved eggs according to his memory.

First the eggs or duck eggs are followed by lime powder, soda ash, plant ash, water, yellow mud and table salt.

It looks like a hassle, but these things are all available in the farm, and they just need to be collected.

Putting the pen back in its place, she folded the paper and fell asleep.

When Ye Jinyu woke up, she found that her sister was not around, and thought that she had a dream last night, but when she opened the door, she saw Ye Jinyan driving a group of ducks over.

The ducks were all very fat, and they looked appetizing.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Ye Jinyu had just woken up, her mind was a little unclear, and she asked in a confused voice.

Ye Jinyan drove all the ducks into his small fence and said to Ye Jinyu: "I borrowed these ducks from my second aunt, you have to feed them well, and you have to pay them back when the time comes." ”

Ye Jinyu blinked, looked at the flocks of ducks, and asked puzzledly, "But sister, why did we borrow these ducks?" ”

Although they got the thirty taels now, there are too many places for this poor family to spend money, in addition to the restraints he needs to go to school, it is enough for the sisters and brothers to eat for a period of time.

At this time, where can you afford to raise such a large number of ducks!

Ye Jin smiled at her and didn't speak.

She had counted the remaining silver, and there were more than twenty taels, so she rented these ducks for one tael of silver.

She and her second aunt agreed to raise ducks for two months, and within two months, the eggs laid by the ducks were theirs.

This also includes ducklings born to these ducks within two months.

She wanted to make preserved eggs, preserved eggs needed a lot of eggs, and it was impossible for her to go to her aunt every day to buy eggs during this time, so she thought of this method once and for all.

Ye Jinyu looked at the quacking ducks, her eyes lit up, and she pulled the fence open to let the ducks in.

She glanced at the fence and frowned, "This fence is not high enough, I'm afraid they will run out, you go find some grass and wood." ”

Ye Jinyu nodded, and after a while, she picked up all the branches and hay.

Ye Jinyan made it up according to the method he had seen before, and found that it was indeed much stronger than before, and those ducks were quacking non-stop, and they couldn't get out if they wanted to.

Ye Jinyan opened the fence and walked in, touched the belly of several of the ducks, and found that they were bulging, and it seemed that there would be a nest of eggs tomorrow morning at the latest.

"Sister, if you want eggs, wouldn't it be better to go directly to your aunt's house and get a few?" The people in their village are simple, and everyone solves things together, so Ye Jingyu has also indirectly developed this character.

"If you blindly rely on the help of others, you will lose yourself." Ye Jinyan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said, ""

She closed the fence and turned to command, "Go and fetch me some hay now if it's okay, the more the better." ”

After hearing this, Ye Jinyu didn't ask why she went to the mountain, they have a lot of hay here, and they can pick up as much as they want.

The two of them burned the hay to ashes, stuffed it into a jar, and covered it.

Ye Jinyan swept around, didn't see the limestone, stretched out his hand and touched Ye Jinyu's head and asked him to wash his hands.

Limestone is generally higher on the mountain, and it is not advisable to go to the mountain after the sun sets, and it seems that it will have to be changed day.

The next day, after Ye Jinyu went to the private school to attend classes, she sat at the door with her hands on her cheeks and waited until the afternoon.

There is limestone in the rock formations on the mountain, and although limestone is very common in modern times, it is rarely found in ancient wooden houses.

In the afternoon, the weather turned cold, and there was no one in the field, so several farmers discussed going up the mountain to cut firewood to sell together, and they happened to meet Ye Jinyan who was digging a pit.

"Yo, what are you doing here?"

The uncle with the big axe glanced at Ye Jinyan, and his voice was low and full of love.

"I used to hide something here, and then it disappeared." Ye Jinyan replied casually while looking for it.

They might find it strange if she told them that she was looking for limestone, so she made an excuse to deal with it.

"Looking for something." Another younger, middle-aged man with a chopping axe asked.

"A seed." Ye Jinyan turned her head to look at them and smiled shyly.
