Qiu Yan stood next to Old Zhao, glanced at Li Zheng who was busy at the ranch, and started chatting with Old Zhao.
When Li Zheng saw Qiu Yan, he went up to her and his first words were, "Xiao Yan, has Xiao Ran come back yet?"
Qiu Yan: "I'm back."
Before she knew it, it was almost noon, and she took Old Zhao home.
Then, he led Madam Ding and Shen Yu to his own courtyard and began to cook for them.
The two of them had only glanced at the Qiu family's courtyard from the outside before, but now that they were inside, it was quite different from other courtyards.
When Zhu Juan heard voices from next door, she came over to cook with Qiu Yan.
When it was time to eat, Gu Xiaoran smelled the aroma of braised pork and couldn't help but sniff.
He could recognize the smell of his mother's cooking just by smelling it.
He said goodbye to his two uncles and ran out of the house.
Looking at Gu Xiaoran's chubby little back, Ye called out to him, "Xiaoran, didn't you say you were going to eat at your housewife's house?"
"Housewife's cooking is not good."
As Gu Xiaoran spoke, she rushed out of the Li family's courtyard.
Because he was running too fast, he bumped into Li Zheng's arms.
"Grandmaster..." Gu Xiaoran rubbed her aching head, "Where did you go this morning?"
“At the ranch.” Li Zheng said briefly, picked up Gu Xiaoran, and carried her into his yard.
"Master, put me down, I want to go home for dinner."
“Master’s house is also your house.” Li Zheng persisted, saying, “I didn’t keep an eye on you last time and you ran away. From today onwards, you will live with Master and his wife.”
After hearing this, Ms. Ye remained silent, feeling inexplicably sad.
"No," Gu Xiaoran shook her head in protest, "I want to stay with my mother."
Li Zheng ignored Gu Xiaoran's resistance and placed him on the dining table. He then casually placed some roasted peanuts, which had turned golden brown, in front of him.
Gu Xiaoran saw the peanuts, picked one up, and began to peel it with her little hands.
After peeling one, the little mouth opens and closes as it begins to chew.
Of all the delicious foods in the world, his favorite is peanuts.
I had just finished eating one when another aroma of meat wafted over from next door.
Gu Xiaoran swallowed hard. Seeing his master helping his wife serve rice, he stuffed all the peanuts on the table into his pocket and said,
"Master and Mistress, I'm going to find my mother." She ran out of the courtyard.
"Xiao Ran!" Li Zheng's expression froze.
He felt that he needed to learn how to cook properly.
Inside the courtyard, Qiu Yan saw Gu Xiaoran's face covered in dirt, making him look like a little kitten, and hurriedly told Zhu Juan to wash him.
"Xiao Ran, it's not like we're out of food, why are you running so fast?"
Qiu Yan's lunch today included braised pork, rice soup, vegetable pancakes, and other dishes.
After tasting it, Madam Ding and Shen Yu praised it repeatedly.
They felt that Qiu Yan's culinary skills were in no way inferior to those of the head chefs at Xingyuelou.
Gu Xiaoran enjoyed the delicious food.
In the afternoon, Qiu Yan and Madam Ding went to the herb field again.
At the same time, Zhao Qiufeng also led many idle villagers to the medicinal herb field.
There are both young and middle-aged men and women.
Most of them are the same people from last time.
This time, Zhao Qiufeng's wife also came, leaving the child with her mother-in-law.
Upon seeing Qiu Yan, their faces were filled with joy.
Making money, who wouldn't be happy?
Qiu Yan asked Zhao Qiufeng to count the number of people and register them one by one.
As for wages, they are the same as last time.
Harvesting medicinal herbs is no challenge for these poor villagers who work year-round.
At Qiu Yan's instruction, they picked up their farming tools and quickly got to work.
