Since eating too much at night is not good for digestion, Ye Qiu simply made a few side dishes.
When these side dishes were brought to the table, the aroma was so fragrant that Xu Xiuying's mouth watered, and she quickly asked Ye Qiu to come over and eat together.
"Ye Qiu, come and eat quickly."
Xu Xiuying waited for a while, then couldn't wait to start eating. She used bamboo chopsticks to pick up a large piece of oil-braised yuba and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth.
"hot……"
Xu Xiuying quickly opened her mouth and fanned herself with her little hands.
The braised yuba had just been cooked and was still very hot. Xu Xiuying almost burst into tears, but she didn't dare to spit it out because it was so delicious.
"Don't worry, no one will snatch it from you."
Ye Qiu brought a can of beer over, pulled the tab open with a pop, and handed it to Xu Xiuying.
Xu Xiuying didn't see clearly what it was, so she took a big gulp of it and drank it. After drinking it, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It feels so good, I feel alive again."
After Ye Qiu had eaten, he only used a few chopsticks, and Xu Xiuying ate up the rest of the food in a hurry.
"Ye Qiu, did you really work as a cook in the army before?"
Xu Xiuying added some vegetable juice to her tender lips, then wiped her mouth with a tissue and looked at Ye Qiu curiously.
"That's not true. I have been working for ten years."
Ye Qiuhan said with a smile.
"I don't believe it. How can anyone join the army at the age of sixteen?" Xu Xiuying curled her lips, "Let's not talk about it for now. You went to sell mountain mushrooms today. How is the situation?"
Xu Xiuying looked at Ye Qiu nervously. If Ye Qiu could sell mountain mushrooms, it would mean that other villagers could also make money by selling mountain mushrooms.
Yushan Village has a population of more than 800, but due to its remote location, many people have chosen to go out to work. Only about 300 people remain, mostly elderly people. Last year, the per capita annual income was only 2,000 yuan.
Xu Xiuying has been in Yushan Village in the past few months and found that the villagers are very simple but too poor. She hopes to make the villagers' lives better.
It would be great if Ye Qiu could find a way to sell mountain mushrooms.
"Sold, 20 yuan per catty."
Ye Qiu told Bai Yunling about his verbal agreement.
"600 kilograms?" Xu Xiuying's eyes lit up, "Ye Qiu, how many kilograms can the villagers pick?"
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, and then said: "If ordinary people pick mountain mushrooms, they should be able to collect about two or three kilograms a day, and experts can harvest four or five kilograms."
"Based on an average of 3 pounds per person, of the 300 people left in the village, excluding children, only 200 can go to the mountains to collect fungi. This is just the right number." Xu Xiuying was a little happy. She had been wanting to develop fishing for the past few months.
In the mountain village, she couldn't find a way, but now Ye Qiu helped her find it.
"Ye Qiu, this is a great achievement, and this branch secretary will give you a reward." Xu Xiuying said happily.
"A prize?"
Ye Qiudi's eyes suddenly became a little excited, rubbing his hands and thinking wildly.
Give out prizes?
What kind of prize should I give out? It won't be a kiss.
After Xu Xiuying finished speaking, she ran back to the room. Ye Qiu suddenly thought about it, maybe she was wearing sexy clothes and dancing for herself.
But it turned out that Ye Qiu was overthinking it. Xu Xiuying went back to the room and brought back a chicken leg for Ye Qiu.
"Isn't this what I bought for her?"
Ye Qiu was stunned, but still took it.
"Hey, no, Ye Qiu has one more thing that he hasn't solved yet."
Xu Xiuying frowned again and leaned her jade arms on the table, feeling a little worried.
Ye Qiu was startled and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"It's what I told you before. There is a white wolf on the mountain here. It is too dangerous for the villagers to go up the mountain." Xu Xiuying frowned. Her eyebrows were very beautiful, and she looked slightly heroic when she frowned. She looked beautiful even when she was worried.
.
"The villagers actually went up the mountain to catch the white wolf, but the white wolf was too cunning and escaped several times."
When Xu Xiuying was worried, Ye Qiu said: "Oh, you don't have to worry about that white wolf."
"Huh? What, the white wolf ran away?" Xu Xiuying raised her head, her eyes full of hope.
"That's not true, but don't worry, it won't hurt anyone." Ye Qiu said vaguely, "Tomorrow morning I will take you to see the forest and designate the area where the villagers will pick."
As soon as Xu Xiuying heard this, she forgot about other things and said excitedly: "Yes, this must be planned well, and a date for the mountain closure must be set, otherwise the mountain mushrooms will be harvested soon."
Next, Ye Qiu started to clear away the dishes.
Xu Xiuying watched Ye Qiu busy and thought to herself that this guy looked pretty good, he was talented, and he was quick at work. Why did he want to return to this poor village? No matter how much he developed here, there was no future.
Words.
Ye Qiu should go out and make a living. With his cooking skills, he might become a wonder in the catering industry.
No, what do I want him to do?
Xu Xiuying shook her head, no matter what happened to this guy, it was none of her business.
Could it be...that I really feel like spring?
Probably not, it's just that the recent forced marriage incident at home has made me a little nervous.
Xu Xiuying comforted herself.
"By the way, I have this for you. I see that your face looks bad. It must be that day."
Ye Qiu gave Xu Xiuying a package of pink things.
Xu Xiuying took a look at it curiously and found that it was a sanitary napkin. Her eyes immediately widened. She glared at Ye Qiu and ran back to her bungalow, closing the door with a bang.
"Are you so happy?"
Ye Qiu scratched his head and continued to do his own things. After finishing his work, he went back to his room to sleep.
…
The next morning.
After Ye Qiu finished practicing "Martial Ancestor Jue", he started to make breakfast for himself and Xu Xiuying.
After finishing breakfast, Xu Xiuying just took a breath and walked out of the room dragging her sandals.
"What's for breakfast today?"
As soon as Xu Xiuying walked out of the door, she smelled a scent and couldn't wait to come to the kitchen.
Today's breakfast is soup dumplings, fried dough sticks, boiled eggs and white porridge.
The soup dumplings and fried dough sticks are made by Ye Qiu himself. They are fermented just right and taste soft and fluffy.
Especially the soup dumplings, Xu Xiuying took one bite, and the soup inside flowed into her mouth. The fragrant gravy soup immediately made her taste buds bloom, and it was extremely delicious.
"Hmm... delicious."
Xu Xiuying had never eaten soup dumplings like this before. She was amazed by Ye Qiu's craftsmanship, and her affection for Ye Qiu gradually increased in her heart.
Ye Qiu himself also ate soup dumplings, but he thought Xu Xiuying's lips tasted better.
Those red and tender lips are like round little cherries, making people want to take a few bites.
"This guy is really good."
Xu Xiuying took a peek at Ye Qiu. With his erect facial features, strong body, and incredible cooking skills, he would definitely be a hot commodity.
It's a pity. What's the future of living in this village?
