Chen Ye wanted to roll his eyes. This guy must be addicted to free meals, right? "Why are you alone? Where is Brother Gao Er?" Don't these two always eat together?
"I have something to ask the captain. I'll be here in a moment."
Chen Ye went to the chicken coop and found an egg. The chickens were reluctant to lay eggs when the weather got cold, and one egg was not enough for three people to eat. He could only go and see if he had any more in stock.
What luck! These two people are really blessed with food. There are just two eggs left in stock. Together with the eggs they took out from the chicken coop today, the three of them can each have a boiled egg.
Cen Zixiang glanced at the empty egg basket and said, "Well, after breakfast I'll go to the village to exchange for some more eggs." Maybe he and Gao Laoer came too frequently, because the eggs for his younger sister were almost gone.
"What side dishes are we having today? Do you want me to go to the cellar to get them?"
"Just get whatever you want to eat. I'll do anything."
Chen Ye likes to make various kinds of pickles. After making them, he puts them in jars in the cellar. When he wants to eat them, he just goes down and picks some up to eat.
Cen Zixiang went to the backyard with a big bowl. Chen Ye was speechless. Those were pickles, not stir-fried vegetables. How could you eat a big bowl of them in one meal?
Forget it, this is my fourth brother, how can I really not give him food?
She touched the lid of the pot and found the water was hot. She decided to take care of herself first. Oh, and she also needed to light a fire in the kang, otherwise the room would not be warm.
"Ye Zi, let's make some vegetable buns for dinner." Cen Zixiang could still make sounds even with a bun stuffed in his mouth.
Chen Ye...you are really great. You are still thinking about dinner while I am still eating.
"What kind of filling is it? Let's make a deal. There are only a few kinds of vegetables available at this time of year. Don't specifically order something that's not available as filling."
"No, cabbage stuffing is fine. By the way, when can we eat sauerkraut? Sauerkraut stuffed buns are delicious too, and dumplings are fine too."
"That's a nice thought. If you can eat so much at once, how many dumplings can you eat? Buns are easier to make. They're bigger and quicker to make."
"Okay, okay, buns are buns," who needs a bicycle when you can eat ready-made ones?
"Sauerkraut isn't good enough, but there's plenty of cabbage and radish. I remember adding some dried shrimps, which should make it quite fresh."
"Okay, let's make it with cabbage filling. Oh, and I have a small pot of chives planted in the house. I don't know if they will survive. If they do, we can make dumplings with chive filling."
Cen Zixiang felt that he now had experience in growing things, so he would definitely be able to grow them.
"Okay, if you can grow some crops, we'll eat dumplings. I want to go up the mountain tomorrow to see if you two are going."
She will be going to the city soon, and she doesn't know if she can come back once a month. It's better to store some meat so that she won't be unable to climb the mountain after it snows.
"Can you wait a few more days? Feizi and I are going to the city. When we come back, we can go up the mountain together."
"Ah~ Are you two going to the city for something? How about I go there alone and you guys go about your business?" It would be better if she went alone.
"No, wait for us to come back and we can go together. We haven't been to the mountains for a long time. Just wait for us."
Cen Zixiang didn't say what he was going to do in the city. He wanted to give his younger sister a surprise. He had already found a house in the city, and he wanted to go there first to see how to prepare it, and then take his younger sister to see it after it was ready.
As for letting my younger sister choose the house she will live in in the future, forget it. There is only one suitable house at the moment. There is no point in choosing. My younger sister will be starting work soon.
It’s too late to look for a suitable house now. If you feel that the house is not suitable, you can only clean it up and live in it first, and then slowly look for a suitable house later. If it doesn’t work, you can just move.
"Okay, it's just right that I can make a cotton-padded jacket these two days." She has grown very fast in the past two years. The new cotton-padded jacket and cotton pants she made last year are too short. She has to sew them together because she will wear them soon.
Chen Ye can really be considered an all-round little girl who can do all kinds of work, but she is not good at everything. For example, her cooking skills are only slightly better than those of ordinary people, and her needlework skills are only slightly worse than those of ordinary people.
But as long as she doesn't despise her craftsmanship, it's fine. Anyway, no one else is wearing it, and no one who wears her craftsmanship would despise it. However, she has to ask others to help her do most of her needlework.
Because not only are her skills worse than others, but her speed is also slower than others. If someone really wants to wait for her to put on the clothes herself, she will make the people waiting run naked.
"You should also pack your bags at home and bring some warm clothes with you when you go to the city. I remember your family mailed you a military coat. It's warm. Try it on for size. If it doesn't fit, get it altered as soon as possible."
Ye Zi is tall and thin, so the military coat must be of the right length, which will make it look bulky. You can't wear bulky clothes in winter, as the wind will blow into your body.
"Oh, I see."
Seeing that Ye Zi was in a bad mood, Cen Zixiang asked tentatively, "How about... you come with us to the city?"
Chen Ye quickly shook his head: "I'm not going. There's nothing to see in this weather."
The ground was bare everywhere, and the big trees didn't even have a bit of green. There was nothing to go out for. She would rather go up the mountain. At least there were animals with meat on the mountain to attract her.
"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Is there anything you want to eat? Fourth brother can bring it back for you."
"No, we have everything we need at home. You'd better stop buying food for us." This was the first time that Chen Ye was worried about having too much food to eat.
Cen Zixiang chuckled and didn't say whether to buy it or not: "Okay, do you have any work to do at home today? It just so happens that we don't have anything to do, so we can help you clean it up."
"No, where does all the work come from?" Chen Ye himself was feeling bored.
Her fourth brother was like a chicken with its blood pumped up. Ever since he knew that they were related by blood, Cen Zixiang rushed to do all the work in her family. He even chopped and stacked the firewood for the whole winter neatly.
Not to mention the food stored in the cellar. Every time this man goes out of the village, he brings back at least a large sack of food. I don’t know if this guy went to Lao Hei to purchase goods, not to mention that the small cellar was filled with food.
Chen Ye was a little worried that there was so much grain. Would he not be able to eat new grain every year in the future?
The only thing that is lacking at home may be meat, of course, I mean fresh meat. There is no shortage of pickled meat, smoked meat, dried meat, etc.
After two days of waiting, Chen Ye was so bored that he wandered around the house all day, trying to find something to do to keep himself busy.
She was used to being busy, and she felt uneasy when there was suddenly no work to do.
