Chapter 21: Xiaozhen Steams Buns

The second and third brothers’ families had already moved their household registrations, but even so, there were still many people in the house.

More people meant more land.

The eldest brother’s wife had run away, but her household registration was still there, and her share of the land was still there, as long as they were diligent, they could grow a lot of things in a year.

Ye Xiaozhen found a jar of pickled green beans, grabbed a handful and put them in water to soak, to remove the saltiness.

When the dough had almost risen, she planned to make half buns and half pickled green bean dumplings.

The buns could be put into the bun machine, it would knead them perfectly, the cut buns were all the same size, and they looked beautiful.

The new dumpling machine was also very good, according to the instructions, she put the dough and green beans in, and when they came out, the dumplings were all the same size, and every fold was exactly the same.

Uh…

This doesn’t look like a human made them, what should I do?

As a food blogger, she could also make beautiful folds, but she definitely couldn’t make so many in one morning, and they were all exactly the same.

If people asked… forget it, I’m a fool, I don’t know what to do.

They can ask their questions, I won’t understand anyway.

I’ll just demonstrate making one on the spot.

She did the same thing as yesterday, after steaming them in the kitchen, she put the steamed buns and dumplings into the steamers in the house.

The professional machine she bought would automatically cut, place, and steam the dough, except for putting them in the steamer, it was almost fully automatic.

During this time, she also cooked the rabbit.

Lin Xinghua came back after finishing his work.

She heard the sound of the courtyard gate opening, and quickly put some flour from the house into the kitchen, creating the illusion that she was steaming buns with the flour from the house.

Lin Xinghua carried a bundle of fresh mugwort back, they just needed to dry it in the sun for an afternoon, and they could use it to smoke mosquitoes in the evening.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the aroma of buns.

“Kid, you’re steaming buns again?”

Ye Xiaozhen took out a bun, “Grandpa, eat.”

“Huh, is this a dumpling?”

Ye Xiaozhen nodded eagerly.

He quickly washed his hands, took the bun in his hand, and couldn’t bear to eat it.

“How did you make these folds? They’re so beautiful.”

Ye Xiaozhen could only smile foolishly.

“Teach Grandpa how to make them someday.”

Ye Xiaozhen smiled but didn’t say anything, she didn’t agree, nor did she refuse.

Lin Xinghua took a bite and found that it was filled with green beans.

“Green bean dumplings?”

Ye Xiaozhen smiled and nodded.

“Hey, they’re pretty good. Kid, you today…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, he was stunned.

He saw two large baskets full of buns on the table.

If he guessed correctly, there were several more steamers in the kitchen?

Lin Xinghua quickly ran to the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw smoke coming from the steamers, they were full of buns and dumplings.

Lin Xinghua stumbled, “Kid, why did you steam so many again?”

Ye Xiaozhen smiled foolishly and said, “To sell for money.”

Lin Xinghua understood, she wasn’t silly for steaming so many, she just wanted to steam buns and dumplings to sell for money.

My god, is she silly or not?

How did she know that steaming buns and dumplings could make money?

“Okay, let’s make dinner, we’ll go sell the buns and dumplings together this afternoon.”

“Grandpa, the rabbit is cooked.”

Lin Xinghua: “…”

Ye Xiaozhen quickly brought out the cooked double pepper rabbit meat, they ate it with the buns and dumplings, it was so spicy that they kept sucking in air.

Although Lin Xinghua was very spicy, he was very happy.

He has three sons, but no daughters.

Xie Lin’an’s generation has a granddaughter, but… well, let’s not talk about it.

Now that he has this granddaughter-in-law, he’s as happy as if he had a granddaughter.

“Grandpa, eat.”

Ye Xiaozhen brought out a bowl of sweet and sour tomatoes.

The tomatoes were all planted by Lin Xinghua, she saw that three of them had turned red today, so she picked them all.

Lin Xinghua happily agreed, took the bowl of tomatoes, took a sip of the tomato juice, it was sweet and refreshing.

They didn’t go out at noon because the sun was too strong.

Lin Xinghua had the habit of taking a nap, it was a habit he developed when he was working for points.

In the summer, they would work early in the morning and late at night, and rest at home at noon when the sun was strong.

Ye Zhen didn’t have the habit of taking a nap, Ye Xiaozhen wanted to sleep, but Ye Zhengguo and his wife wouldn’t let her sleep, so she didn’t sleep at noon.

She was tidying up the house when someone pushed open the courtyard gate.

Ye Xiaozhen looked up and saw that it was Sun Qing.

It was a fence yard, the gate was secured with a straw rope, it was good against gentlemen but not against villains.

As soon as Sun Qing came in, she started looking around, her eyes lit up when they fell on the fresh rabbit skin on the peach tree.

“You heartless thing, you’re living a good life, and you’ve forgotten about your parents.”

She had left the oak stick at the door last time, seeing this, she turned around and took the stick from behind the door.

“Hey, what are you doing? I’m here to collect a debt.”

Sun Qing saw the stick in her hand, remembering that her head still hurt, she didn’t dare to go forward.

She stayed several meters away from her.

Ye Xiaozhen guessed that she was still thinking about the nine hundred yuan, she thought, you must not have woken up yet, you’ve forgotten the pain after the wound healed.

“Scram.” She spat out the word viciously.

Sun Qing was stunned, then she became angry and cursed, “Damn it, you either hit me or scold me when you see me, you treat me like an enemy. Lin Laogui? Lin Laogui, come out, look at what you’ve done, you’ve turned my good daughter into what?”

Lin Xinghua was just waking up from his nap when he was called out.

Ye Xiaozhen raised the stick and chased after Sun Qing.

Sun Qing saw that things were bad, she turned around and ran.

It was noon, everyone was taking a nap, and they staged another chase scene.

Sun Qing ran and cursed.

She cursed Ye Xiaozhen for being heartless, she cursed Xie Lin’an and Lin Xinghua for being bad people, for corrupting her daughter.

Lin Xinghua also came out, but he was slow, he limped after her.

“Kid, don’t hit her, don’t hit her.”

“Lin Laogui, don’t hit me, don’t chase me, did you hear me?”

Heh, sorry, I’m a fool, I don’t understand.

She chased Sun Qing all the way to her house, and she didn’t stop until she closed the door.

To vent her anger, Ye Xiaozhen hit the door of their house several times with the stick.

The wooden door wasn’t very sturdy, and it was now swaying precariously.

The people inside were scared, Sun Qing was still cursing, but Ye Zhengguo covered her mouth.

Ye Xiaozhen heard that she was silent, so she stopped.

At this time, Lin Xinghua caught up and pulled Ye Xiaozhen back, “Kid, what’s going on?”

Ye Xiaozhen said, “Bad person, Xiaozhen hit bad person.”

“Okay, okay, Xiaozhen hit bad person, now the bad person is gone, let’s go.”

After they were far away, Sun Qing’s family dared to come out.

The neighbors curiously asked, “Sun Qing, did she hit you again?”

“Nonsense, I ran fast, she didn’t hit me.”

“Then why did she chase you?”

“I was going to find Lin Laogui to get my money back, I didn’t expect that Lin Laogui, who looks honest and kind, is actually very bad. My Xiaozhen can not only hit people now, but she can also scold people.”
