The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 541 Selling Roast Chicken

At dawn, when the Ye family's rooster crowed for the first time, Mrs. Ye and Ye Xilin got up.

The three grandparents and grandchildren are the first to get up in the Ye family every day. Ye Xilin gets up early every day to cook pig food, Mrs. Ye is busy making breakfast, and Mr. Ye goes to the small vegetable garden to water vegetables.

Today she is going to make roast chicken, and Mrs. Ye also boiled an extra pot of hot water to kill the chicken.

Mrs. Ye had just lit the fire, and Ye Donglin and Wang Chunyu also got up.

Ye Donglin went to the small vegetable garden to pick the vegetables that he would take to the grocery store today.

Wang Chunyu went to the backyard to kill chickens. Roast chickens must be marinated in advance. The chickens must be killed and marinated in advance before breakfast.

After a while, Father Ye and Mother Ye also got up, and the whole Ye family suddenly became lively.

Ye Mu came to the backyard and saw that Wang Chunyu was already killing chickens. She squatted down in front of the oven and started to light a fire.

After Ye Mu lit the fire, she added a few medium-sized firewoods. When the fire became strong, she added a few large firewoods as thick as her wrists and started burning.

Large logs of firewood are durable, and after breakfast, the charcoal in the oven is almost enough.

Ye Mu had just finished it, and Wang Chunyu on the side had already packed up the two hens.

The next step is to marinate the chicken. Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu had prepared the spices for marinating the roasted chicken in advance last night.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were rubbing spices and salt on the chicken, and Father Ye came over with a bucket full of sewer and half a big pig's head.

This was sent by Butcher Zhang’s youngest son. Butcher Zhang’s family delivers meat at this time every day.

"It's time to have breakfast. Come here quickly. After breakfast, we can continue working." Mrs. Ye stood at the door of the kitchen and shouted loudly with her hands on her hips.

Mrs. Ye has a loud voice, and the Tang family can hear her voice clearly through a wall.

Ye Qingqing was drowsily asleep when he was suddenly woken up by the voice of Mrs. Ye.

Hearing Mrs. Ye's voice, the sleepy Ye Qingqing thought she was still at Ye's house, so she squinted her eyes and got dressed to go out for breakfast.

After opening the door and looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar yard outside, Ye Qingqing remembered that she had married into the Tang family.

Ye Qingqing slapped his forehead with an embarrassed look, but luckily no one saw it.

Tang Xiaojing was about to come over and call Ye Qingqing to get up for breakfast, but was surprised to see Ye Qingqing standing at the door in a daze.

"Are you up so early today?"

Ye Qingqing didn't know what to say for a moment, so he turned around silently and went to wash up.

By the time Ye Qingqing finished washing up, the Ye family next door had already finished breakfast and were very busy.

Ye Donglin set out for the grocery store with a cart full of vegetables, grains, dry goods and live fish.

Mr. Ye also pulled a cart to look after his family's fields.

Wang Chunyu and Ye Mu hung the marinated roast chicken in the oven and started roasting. Then they went to the side to kill four crucian carp and two grass carp, and then marinated them.

After a while, the tempting smell of meat came out of the oven. The smell of meat became stronger and stronger, and soon the whole yard was filled with the smell of roast chicken.

Smelling the aroma of roasted chicken, Ye Mu, who had just eaten breakfast, became a little greedy again and swallowed silently.

Beside the pool, Mrs. Ye and her father and son sat on a small bench and began to collect pig waste, pig trotters and big pig heads.

In addition, Ye's father also killed a fat duck and used it to make braised duck.

Although spicy duck products and spicy rabbit meat are sold well at the dock, there are no merchants from Shu in the town.

People here have a mild taste, and people are not used to the spicy flavor. At first, they were curious and bought it to try, but then they couldn’t sell it anymore, and gradually Ye’s father stopped making it.

However, the price of braised duck is cheap, so many people come to buy it, and the method of braised duck is also simple. Father Ye braises one or two ducks every day.

After baking for about a quarter of an hour, the chicken was about to be turned over. As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put the chicken back into the oven, Xiaoqi woke up and started crying.

Wang Chunyu hurried back to the house to feed Xiaoqi and change her diaper.

Mother Ye moved the mud bricks over and blocked the entrance to the oven.

Father Ye, who was handling pig offal on the side, swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "It smells so good. This roast chicken will definitely sell well."

Old Mrs. Ye joked: "Look at how greedy you are, don't forget that the roast chicken was eaten by you before it was even sold."

"No, I'm not that boy from Xilin."

Ye Xilin, who had just finished feeding the pigs, was standing behind Father Ye. "Dad, you said bad things about me again."

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Old Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye were made to laugh by the father and son.

Mother Ye took out the roasted chicken from the oven, and even Ye Qingqing from the Tang family next door could smell the aroma of the roasted chicken.

The roast chicken was taken out, and Ye Mu immediately grilled the fish.

The fish cooked quickly, and not long after I went in, the aroma of grilled fish came from the oven.

The crucian carp is relatively small, and as soon as the fragrance comes out, Ye Mu turns on the oven, turns the crucian carp over and continues to bake. The two large grass carp need to be grilled for a while before being turned over.

The grilled fish was ready quickly. Ye Mu brought out a crucian carp and asked everyone to come and taste it.

The fish raised at home is inherently very delicious, and the grilled fish made by Ye Mu is fresh and fragrant, and is more delicious than fried or steamed fish.

Ye Mu cooks every day and has a lot of experience. She controlled the heat of the grilled fish just right and succeeded in one try. It was even more delicious than what Ye Qingqing cooked yesterday.

Ye Mu brought a big basin over and put all the roasted chicken and fish in it.

At this time, Father Ye and Mrs. Ye had also packed away the meat for braised pork.

As soon as Ye's father arrived at Ye's Braised Pork Shop, he saw that the grocery store next door was doing very well, and the shop was crowded with women who came to buy vegetables and grain.

Father Ye was very pleased that his eldest son was quite capable.

Then Father Ye unloaded the things from the donkey cart one by one and prepared to light a fire to make braised pork.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, Father Ye is cooking braised pork in the kitchen. All three burners are burning at the same time. The kitchen is as hot as a roasted chicken oven.

Father Ye was so hot that he was sweating profusely. The sweat on his forehead kept dripping on the ground. The clothes on his body became soaked with sweat in a short time.

The braised pork is constantly tumbling in the steaming old marinade, and the rich and overbearing smell of braised pork wafts from the small kitchen to the alley outside.

The smell of braised pork attracted all the people and greedy people in the nearby alley.

It is no exaggeration to say that the business of the braised pork shop is so good because the alluring aroma of braised pork attracts people.

If he had braised the braised pork at home before bringing it over, Father Ye estimated that the shop's business would be reduced by half.

After the meat was braised, Father Ye put the braised meat into a clean basin aside.

Then he took away the big iron pot, put the two roast chickens into the stove hole full of red charcoal, and re-roasted and heated them.

The roasted chicken is heated in the stove, and the aroma of the roasted chicken continues to float to the alley outside.

People outside the alley knew that the braised pork shop had new dishes when they smelled the roast chicken, so they came early to wait.

After the roasted chicken was heated, Father Ye heated up some grilled fish in the same way.

Father Ye has long known that these guests are fond of the new and dislike the old. With the new dishes, no one cares about the old braised pork.

Father Ye put the grilled chicken and fish in the most conspicuous place, and the portion of the braised pork he brought today was also deliberately reduced.

Each roast chicken was chopped into 4 large pieces by Ye’s father, and he paid 15 cents a piece for his choice.

15 cents a piece is not expensive, and is similar to other braised pork in the shop, so there are many people buying it.
