The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 231 Giving birth to a bunny

An imposing middle-aged man in Chinese attire said, "Boss Ye, we all want this spicy duck product, plus 10 portions each of spicy pig meat and spicy vegetarian dishes."

Others on the side were a little dissatisfied when they saw that all the spicy duck products had been bought, and complained softly.

"Everything is bought, what are we going to eat?"

"That's right, at least leave some for others."

Boss Han saw that the people around him were dissatisfied, so he quickly stepped forward and explained: "My fellow countrymen are going back by boat today. It will take several days on the road. The taste of our Sichuan land is different from that here, so just rely on This spicy braised pork and duck are ready for dinner."

Seeing this, the other merchants didn't say much. Most merchants pay attention to being friendly and making money. They may have opportunities to cooperate in the future, so they can't offend others easily.

Father Ye saw that this merchant was generous and rounded up almost all the spicy-flavored braised pork on the stall, and introduced spicy pork offal stir-fried pickled cabbage to several merchants.

"There are some spicy pigs stir-fried with sauerkraut on the stall. Would you like some of the bosses to bring some on board to serve with our meals?"

This spicy pork stir-fried pickled cabbage was originally intended to be used for braised pork rice at noon, but these businessmen from Shu had to go back by boat. Father Ye was worried that he would not be able to sell it, so he strongly recommended it to several people.

Several merchants saw that the fried sauerkraut cooked in pig's water was very fragrant, so they ordered a few more portions to go. They couldn't eat more when the weather was hot, so they only ordered the amount for the day.

Several merchants from Shu carried large and small bags of food and left with satisfaction, but Boss Han remained at the stall.

Father Ye: "Boss Han, aren't you going back with the other Shu merchants?"

"My goods won't be shipped until tomorrow. I'll go back two days later."

Boss Han was a little embarrassed. He asked someone to make spicy braised pork, but he went back.

Boss Han and Father Ye explained: "Several fellow villagers originally went back with me, but due to something unexpected, several fellow villagers had to go back two days early."

"But we have several ships transporting fabrics from Sichuan every day. These spicy braised pork will not fail to be sold."

Father Ye didn't care and said cheerfully: "A few merchants from Shu came to the stall to sell food in the morning. I am very grateful to Boss Han for the suggestion."

Father Ye packed the last spicy pork ribs on the stall and handed it to Boss Han.

"Boss Han, please help me taste it to see if it tastes authentic."

Boss Han was not polite and started eating directly at the stall.

"It's not numb enough, there's not enough peppercorns."

Father Ye used the tasting plate to serve some spicy pig offal and spicy vegetarian dishes to Boss Han, "Is it spicy? Many people who tried the food at the stall today were so spicy that they shed tears."

Boss Han said with a smile: "The food here is relatively light, so it's normal if you don't get used to it. Moreover, the climate here is different from that of Shu. Even eating spicy duck here will make you get angry."

Boss Han first ate a piece of pork belly, then tasted a piece of vegetarian food, and then said: "The vegetarian food is spicy enough. It would be better if the pork ribs are a little spicier, and more Sichuan peppercorns should be added."

Father Ye took note of all these carefully, and after thinking for a while he said with some embarrassment: "The spices and peppercorns used to make braised pork are quite expensive. Making spicy braised pork requires a lot of spices and peppercorns. The cost is a lot higher." few."

"If the price of this spicy braised pork increases by one penny per portion, I wonder if everyone will accept it?"

Boss Han has a weaving workshop and a dyeing workshop in his home, so he doesn't take these two things seriously at all.

"As long as it's delicious, one or two cents doesn't matter. None of the merchants on the dock are short of one or two cents."

Father Ye was very grateful to Boss Han. If it hadn't been for him, Father Ye would not have thought of making spicy braised food. When Boss Han left, Father Ye also stuffed him with a jar of honey.

"This is honey produced by bees raised at home. Boss Han will take it back and taste it."

As soon as Boss Han left, Boss Zhang came back to the stall smelling the smell.

"Brother Ye, I heard that you have made something new. I want you to give me a piece to try."

Father Ye smiled and said: "Actually, it's all braised food, but it's made into a spicy flavor. In the morning, there were also spicy pork ribs and spicy pig meat. But Brother Zhang, you came late, and now we only have spicy vegetarian dishes."

"Okay, give me one to try."

Father Ye reminded him thoughtfully: "Brother Zhang, this vegetarian dish is more flavorful and much spicier than the spicy duck dish."

Boss Zhang was very confident and asked Father Ye to quickly give him a portion.

"It's okay. I can eat the spicy duck stuff. Am I still afraid of this?"

Father Ye smiled without saying a word, brought a piece of spicy pig sesame water to Boss Zhang, and thoughtfully made a bowl of honey water for him.

"I invited my brother to drink this honey water."

This spicy vegetarian dish is braised with spicy duck stock. The braised pork is full of meat flavor and smells very fragrant.

Boss Zhang took a mouthful of potatoes and was so spicy that he burst into tears. He quickly picked up the honey water on the side and drank it in big gulps.

Boss Han lowered his voice and teased Father Ye: "You're a profiteer. I'm afraid you didn't make the honey water so spicy on purpose just to sell it."

Father Ye hammered Boss Zhang on the shoulder, "I paid for your honey water."

Father Ye did not recognize this identification. Although he did think of this later, he did not think so when he made this spicy braised pork.

Father Ye said with a smile: "This is prepared for merchants from Shu, who like to eat this taste."

Boss Zhang also bought a jar of honey when he left. He said that his throat was uncomfortable after eating too much spicy duck food, so he bought some honey to moisten his throat.

When Ye's father returned home in the afternoon, there was no one in the house. Ye's father felt a little strange. Ye's mother and Ye Qingqing were both doing embroidery at home at this time.

Father Ye silently moved the large iron pot and bowls and chopsticks from the donkey cart to the pool in the backyard. At this time, he heard the voices of Ye Qingqing and Mrs. Ye coming from the Tang family behind.

Ye Qingqing exclaimed: "It's born, it's born, I can see the little rabbit's head, it's pink and tender."

Mrs. Ye: "Keep your voice down, don't scare the female rabbit."

After Tang Xiaojing came back from the county, he went to the roadside to cut some tender grass and feed it to the rabbits. As soon as he walked to the pig pen, he heard the female rabbit moaning in pain.

Tang Xiaojing took a look and realized that the female rabbit was about to give birth to a baby rabbit. Although he had been in the pharmacy for three years, he only learned how to prepare medicinal materials and did not know how to deliver babies.

Tang Xiaojing ran to Ye's house in a panic. Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye had both given birth to children, so they must know what to do.

Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye knew that the rabbit raised by Tang Xiaojing was going to give birth to a baby rabbit. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also stunned. Although they had given birth to children, they did not know how to deliver a rabbit.

I have never raised rabbits at home, so Tang Xiaojing is not as familiar with rabbits.

Ye Qingqing was very excited when she heard that she was going to give birth to a baby rabbit, so she dragged Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye over to join in the fun.

As soon as the few people left, Father Ye came back.

Although a few people didn't know how to deliver a rabbit, luckily the mother rabbit delivered the baby herself. After the first baby rabbit was born, the second and third rabbits came out soon after.

It is said that rabbits can give birth to seven or eight rabbits in one litter. Several people squatted aside and waited for other little rabbits to come out. They waited and waited but no fourth rabbit was born.

Seeing the mother rabbit licking all three pink and tender little rabbits clean, they realized that there was no fourth rabbit.

Ye Qingqing looked at Mrs. Ye: "Isn't it said that rabbits can give birth to seven or eight little rabbits in one litter? Why are there only three?"

Mrs. Ye choked, and she didn't know.
