Chapter 200 National Action

The lunch was the result of all the effort that Ye Ma put into preparing.

Stewed beef brisket with radish, braised pork, steamed fish, stir-fried river shrimp with green onions, steamed crabs, and various stir-fried seasonal vegetables. The rice is the Yuxiang rice from the five-color rice that Ye Ma got and steamed in a wooden barrel. It is definitely wooden barrel rice, and the Yuxiang rice has a grassy fragrance that is fragrant as soon as you open it...

The aroma of meat dishes and the fresh fragrance of rice wafted from the kitchen, making my stomach restless.

The cat and dog had been squatting in the kitchen, drooling all over the floor.

"Mom, you've never cooked so many delicious meals when I was at home." Ye Zhen snorted, sat on a small stool and stuffed a handful of dry firewood into the stove.

"Enough, enough, the fire is too big!"

Ye Ma quickly stir-fried the food to prevent it from sticking to the pan, then added some water to simmer it. Then she said:

"Everyone here is a guest. What did you want to eat at home that I didn't cook for you? Go and call someone quickly, or the food will get cold."

Mother Ye worked quickly and easily prepared a large table of delicious food even without Grandma Ye's help.

There is no need to run up the mountain to call for help, as Ye's father and the others are already there. Just as I was about to make a phone call, Ye's younger brother had already run back.

Her face flushed with excitement, and her eyes lit up when she saw Ye Zhen: "Sister, all the fruits in our house have been ordered."

He looked like he was about to praise me, and Ye Zhen touched the other person's head, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll give you an extra piece of meat at noon."

Silly boy, you never have to worry about selling the fruits at home. Just make a phone call and no matter whether it’s Zhao Feng from Wanmao Supermarket or Wang Li representing the country, as long as they have the fruits, they will pick all the fruits off the trees in minutes. Do you believe it?

But doing housework is commendable, and the young man just needs to exercise more.

Following behind was the beaming Grandma Ye, who shouted loudly before she even entered the door:

"Ye Zi, we won the fight. These so-called black guys have nothing to say. Everyone else wants our fruit!"

Grandma Ye came in and drank a sip of water. She was full of energy. She put her hands on her hips and directed Grandpa Ye to ask him to ask the courier to drive the cart over and ask the villagers who were free to help pack the goods.

Then he sat down in high spirits, with an expression that he had accomplished something great, "Ye Zi, put all the fruits at the old house later, and I'll take care of the rest!"

What's wrong with that? It's fine to find some work to do. Ye Zhen didn't stop them, but asked if Ye's father and the others had come down.

"Here they are. They are behind us. Your father is helping us down the mountain."

Grandma Ye looked disdainful and said, "These intellectuals are really not in good health. I have the strength to climb mountains with my old arms and legs, but they..."

Grandma Ye clicked her tongue and shook her head, showing great disgust at their physical fitness.

"Forget about the old man and the old lady, but why are these young men not as good as me?" Grandma Ye sat at the table with a proud look on her face.

"Come on, please. In the first half of the year, you complained about the excessive rain and your legs and feet were in pain due to rheumatism." Grandpa Ye usually doesn't say much, but when he does, he confronts the old lady.

At this moment, he was smoking leisurely and eating a plate of peanuts next to him, and he started to expose other people's shortcomings with his eyes squinted.

Grandma Ye raised her eyebrows. Hey! This old man had to bring it up!

"Who is it? You can't sleep in the middle of the night because of the pain, and you insist on getting me up to help you massage it?"

"Who else? You said you can't even lift a bucket!"

Grandpa Ye was in a rude tone and started talking about the difficulties Grandma Ye had faced before Ye Zhen came back.

Grandma Ye's eyes were blazing with anger and she pulled up her sleeves. Why did this old man have such an annoying mouth?

She now practices the body-building techniques given to her by Ye Zhen every day, and her physical fitness is far better than before.

You know, she is different!

If you ask her to go and hunt wild boars, she can even pick up an iron rake and bucket it!

What's the big deal about climbing a mountain! There's no wild boar, but there's an old man. Do you want me to fight you first?

Grandma Ye glared at Grandpa Ye fiercely, and wanted to show her power, so she stepped forward and twisted him with her strong hands.

Ye Zhen quickly pulled Grandma Ye to the kitchen to help serve the dishes: "Grandma, you are a great contributor today, don't be angry, the guests are coming, my mother has cooked a lot of dishes today, let's have a good meal later."

"Yes, Mom. We have everything you like to eat. Let's have a drink later." Ye's mother leaned over and said with a smile.

"Let's make sure everyone drinks up all the wine we brewed, so that this old man will be envious to death!" Grandma Ye threatened angrily.

Grandma Ye finally calmed down and brought out all the dishes prepared by Mom Ye. Then Dad Ye and the others came back.

He helped Professor Liu sit down, and Professor Sun and the others smiled embarrassedly:

"I'm old now, and I can't climb a mountain anymore. I used to be in fields and forests everywhere, but now I need someone to help me even when I go down a mountain."

Professor Liu sat down to catch his breath before smiling, "You're fine. My legs are still sore."

"Hey! We can't compare to young people. When we get old, our legs and feet are like this. When we are tired, we can just take a rest. There is no need to be so anxious. The back mountain is there and we can't run."

The faces of the several young and strong assistants following behind were all red. Their legs and feet were even more sore. They didn’t feel it while walking, but now that they had recovered, their calves were trembling!

Now I feel even more embarrassed as I lie slumped in my chair and listen to what my teacher says.

Grandma Ye had become familiar with these people after just this morning. She was a warm-hearted person who loved to talk, and had helped many people in the mountains, so she was no longer afraid of communicating as she was at the beginning.

Professor Sun looked at Grandma Ye's nimble movements with envy, "Old sister, we can't compare to you."

Grandma Ye happily put down a pile of steamed yam spareribs and said with a smile:

"People in our village are used to working. We climb mountains every day, collect firewood, weed and take care of crops in the fields. Our legs and feet are used to it." Actually, it's all thanks to Ye Zhen's body-building techniques.

Even the elderly people in the countryside who are used to doing farm work are not as healthy as Grandma and Grandpa Ye, because they have trained in places with abundant spiritual energy.

It is no exaggeration to say that ordinary young guys are not as good as Grandma Ye and others.

"We have beautiful mountains and clear water in our countryside. Living in such an environment makes us healthier than living outside. We even get sick less often!"

Section Chief Zhang was already drinking tea. The wild tea in the mountains was picked by Ye Shanzhen, and Grandpa Ye simply fried it in a large iron pan. The resulting tea was very fragrant.

Section Chief Zhang sipped the tea, and the fragrance lingered between his teeth, with a strong scent of the wild countryside.

Listening to what Grandma Ye said, she agreed very much, "Your village is indeed beautiful, the flowers and plants are still blooming, and the air smells sweeter and more comfortable than other places. I feel much more relaxed."

Professor Liu also nodded in agreement: "It is only with such beautiful scenery that such good medicinal herbs and fruits can be grown."

"Didn't Lao Li and his team come to test the water and soil last time? The water here can be used as a mineral water resource. It contains various minerals that are beneficial to the human body. Not to mention the soil in the nearby mountains, which has a high organic matter content. The vegetables and fruits in the village are more nutritious than those outside!"

Ye's father and the others also laughed after hearing this. Everyone likes to hear others praise their family.

A group of people were chatting, and Ye Zhen helped Ye's father set up a large round table.

There were more than a dozen people, so they simply carried out the round table from home and placed the square table next to it, making two tables in this way.

Ye Ma cooked enough dishes and placed them in two portions.

“Dinner is ready!”

…………

Wang Li returned with a large amount of medicinal materials and handed them over to the relevant departments in a hurry.

As soon as the medicinal materials arrived, all production lines began to work overtime. Fortunately, the weather has been good recently, the medicinal materials can be dried quickly, and with machine drying, everything is ready.

Health-preserving pills started production!

The country acted very quickly. Based on the detailed list of medicinal seeds and planting requirements provided by Ye Zhen, they found several suitable places for planting and handed them over to several large growers, waiting for the next spring to plant.

Now we are cultivating the fields, clearing out the insects and grass roots hidden in the mud, applying enough collected farmyard manure to the fields, and then covering them with a layer of thatch to ferment.

As soon as the first batch of health-care pills were finished, they were sent to the laboratory for experimental comparison with the pills given by Ye Zhen. When the effects of the two were almost the same, they were immediately mass-produced and distributed to important personnel in various positions in the country.
