Chapter 91 Sugarcane Production
On the other side, Wu Jiang was already a little overwhelmed by Jiang Hongyu's repeated questioning. He kept praying in his heart that someone would come quickly.
Soon, Li Dani came in and said, "Boss, the meal is ready. Can we eat here?"
Ye Mingzhu was already a little sleepy. She held her chin with her hands, her eyes half closed, and was a little unresponsive for a moment.
Jiang Hongyu walked over and helped her up unnoticed: "Okay, let's eat here."
Li Dani took out the dishes from the basket, a large bowl of stewed chicken, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of fish, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a few steamed buns made with two kinds of flour.
Ye Mingzhu sat down at the table and sobered up a little. Looking at the plates with not many varieties but large portions of food, she asked Wu Jiang and Li Dani to go out and eat first, and talk about other things tomorrow.
Wu Jiang wanted Li Dani to stay and serve the three of them, but Ye Mingzhu waved her hand, saying that she was not a child and did not need help picking up food.
Jiang Hongyu waited for the two to leave, then picked up a piece of green vegetables for Ye Mingzhu with his chopsticks and said, "Eat some vegetables first, and your headache will be less painful."
Ye Yunan directly picked up a chicken leg: "Brother-in-law, I don't have a headache, I want to eat meat."
"Okay, you eat the meat and leave a chicken leg for your sister. You can eat the rest as you like." Jiang Hongyu has always been doting on Ye Yun'an.
Ye Yun'an laughed heartily, took a bite of the steamed bun and a bite of the chicken leg, and commented: "The steamed bun is not soft, and the chicken leg is a bit tough. My brother-in-law's stew is still better."
Jiang Hongyu just gave him a look without saying anything.
Ye Mingzhu ignored them, picked up the vegetables in the bowl and ate them slowly, then shook her head. She added too little oil and cooked the vegetables for a long time, so they tasted soft and boneless, and the taste was very ordinary.
She picked up another chicken wing. Although it was soft and rotten, it had an earthy smell. Not to mention the fish, which had an even stronger fishy smell.
Ye Mingzhu stretched out her chopsticks, but only picked up a piece of egg. She then ate half a steamed bun with the egg.
Jiang Hongyu didn't persuade her anymore. He poured her half a bowl of chicken soup and asked her to drink it.
After they finished their meal, Li Dani came again. She brought a bucket of hot water for Ye Mingzhu and the others to wash up.
Jiang Hongyu stopped her and asked if there was anyone visiting the courtyard. Li Dani nodded and said, "There is a kitchen, but it has not been used for a long time. If the boss wants to use it, I will clean it up tomorrow."
Ye Mingzhu felt that it was unnecessary as they would only stay here for a day or two. Finally, seeing Jiang Hongyu insist, she kept silent.
There is another reason. Li Dani's cooking is really average. Whether she is stewing chicken or stir-frying vegetables, she uses too little oil, which makes people feel that the ingredients are wasted.
Jiang Hongyu thought that they would stay here for a few more days. Since there was a kitchen, why should they force themselves to do so? He and Ye Yunan could just take turns cooking.
Li Dani waited for them to finish their discussion, then cheerfully stepped forward to put the remaining food on a plate and asked, "Boss, can I heat up the chicken and make some porridge tomorrow morning?"
Jiang Hongyu directly said that it was not necessary and that he would just cook porridge for them tomorrow morning as they had brought their own pickled vegetables.
Li Dani wiped the table deftly and said that her home was just a few hundred meters away from the compound, so they could just call her if they had any problems. Then she happily took the basket and left.
She had guessed that the boss had a small appetite and could not finish all the food, but she did not expect that what was left would be fish and chicken. She shook her head. These were all meat dishes, but she did not expect that the boss would not like to eat them.
She thought of taking the dish back. Seeing Wu Tie's happy expression, she probably wiped the plate clean.
Inside the house, Ye Mingzhu yawned. She was really tired. Jiang Hongyu went outside to get two wooden basins, scrubbed them clean, and poured the hot water brought by Li Dani into them. He asked her to wash her face and feet and rest early.
Ye Yun'an was very attentive and poured out the water his sister had used to wash her face before washing his face.
Ye Mingzhu could no longer hold on. After washing up, she put the bedding she brought from home on the bed, took off her coat and lay down.
After Jiang Hongyu finished cleaning up and returned to the room, he couldn't help but smile when he saw her sleeping in a messy position. He moved her closer and lay down on the bed to sleep.
The next morning, when Ye Mingzhu woke up, Jiang Hongyu had already taken Ye Yun'an to practice a set of boxing in the yard and learned a few words.
This was the homework that the two of them did after Jiang Hongyu came back. They got up early every day to practice boxing and learn to read, without slacking off for a single day.
After washing up, Ye Mingzhu stood next to Ye Yun'an and watched him write. Even though she didn't understand calligraphy, she could tell that Ye Yun'an's handwriting was much better than at the beginning.
Jiang Hongyu nodded: "Yun'an has a high level of understanding. He has already learned a set of boxing techniques. He just needs to practice more."
He just learns characters a little slowly, but if he works hard and practices more, he can make up for this shortcoming.
When Li Dani and Wu Yue arrived, they saw this scene, and both of them walked much lighter.
Li Dani put the porridge bowl and dry food on the table. Wu Yue leaned over to the table and exclaimed softly, "Wow, you're so young, and you write so well?"
Ye Yun'an didn't look up and wrote the words in his hand seriously.
Jiang Hongyu went into the house to get the pickled vegetables he brought, Ye Mingzhu went to serve the rice, and Wu Yue quickly took it. Her brother asked her to help take care of the boss, so how could she dare to let the boss serve the rice himself.
Ye Mingzhu failed to snatch the food from her, so she just sat down and waited.
Ye Yun'an didn't put away his things until he finished writing for the day. He washed his hands and prepared to eat.
Li Dani was already standing outside with a basket, while Wu Yue was still standing in front of the table. Ye Mingzhu looked at her.
She grinned and said, "Boss, after dinner, are we going to see Tian Banger?"
Ye Mingzhu was infected by her smile and also smiled: "You go eat first, and then accompany us to stroll around the farm after dinner."
Wu Yue agreed crisply and went out to urge her sister-in-law to come back for dinner quickly.
Jiang Hongyu took a sip of porridge before asking, "Are you really going to keep those sweet sticks?"
"I read a book before, and the picture in the book was of a sweet stick, saying that it could be used to make brown sugar. I want to try it." Ye Mingzhu found an excuse for herself last night.
After the original owner learned to read, Ye's father and mother did find her a lot of books with pictures and words, which people from the first and third wives had seen.
At that time, Lin told Ye's mother that it was a waste of money to buy books for a little girl, not to mention learning to read. She was then beaten out by Ye's father with a sullen face.
Jiang Hongyu didn't doubt Ye Mingzhu's words, he was just a little bit unbelievable. Sugar was very expensive here. If the sweet sticks on this farm could be made into brown sugar, then this farm would be close to getting rich.
"I've never grown sweet potato sticks before, so I want to go and take a look first." Although Ye Mingzhu knew the general steps, she had never done it before, so she had to give it a try to get results.
Ye Yun'an listened to the two of them eating, his eyes shining. He loved candy.
After the three of them finished their meal, Wu Yue was already waiting outside the door: "Boss, are we going now?"
Ye Mingzhu nodded, and seeing that she was alone, she asked, "Where are your brother and your sister-in-law?"
Wu Yue felt a little guilty and shrank his neck: "My brother is still eating, he will be here soon."
Ye Mingzhu didn't know what Wu Jiang was keeping in suspense and frowned.
Wu Yue walked up to her in a flattering manner and said, "Boss, let me take you to see the sweet sticks first. It's closer over there."
Ye Mingzhu had already made up her mind to grow sweet potatoes here, so she naturally agreed.
Wu Yue happily led the way in front. Several children came over to say hello on the road. Wu Yue walked faster and faster. Jiang Hongyu felt something was wrong and gave Ye Mingzhu a wink, and she nodded.
Before they could even reach the sweet stick, Wu Jiang came running over with a dark face, shoes in hand, and roared, "Wu Yue!"
