Hearing Yan Shu's exclamation, Li Weihua and Wang Lan also came out of the kitchen and were surprised to see what Yan Qing brought back.

"Yan Qing, where did this come from?"

Yan Qing came up with the excuse he had prepared a long time ago, "Didn't I always run to the back mountains these days? I killed two pheasants and used them to exchange for them."

"When did you fight? Why didn't we know?"

"What's the point of calling it a surprise if I let you know?"

The Li family believed it because they couldn't find any other explanation.

Wang Lan said with some pity, "You kid, isn't the chicken delicious? It's okay to replace the pheasants with domestic chickens. Why did you replace a chicken with eggs and corn? You don't eat enough corn porridge every day? ?”

Yan Qing said, "This corn is different, especially delicious."

"No matter how delicious it is, it's just corn? How can it still be delicious with meat?"

However, when the corn was cooked, Wang Lan stopped talking.

This corn actually tastes better than meat!

It was sweet, soft and glutinous, with an excellent texture. She had never eaten such delicious corn in her life!

Four people squatted in the kitchen, one of them gnawing on a stick of corn.

"How about we stop cooking the chicken? Marinate it and save it for the New Year?" Wang Lan said.

"Mom, it's your child's birthday and your mother's Good Friday. Today is your and Xiao Shu's joint birthday. Of course you have to eat something good. You don't have to be reluctant. Master Xiao Wang from the agricultural machinery station told me today that they are hiring people there. , and he also said that he would recommend me to Master Wang, and I might be able to go to work soon. From now on, if I get paid and eat commercial food, can I miss out on the meat at home?" Yan Qing said.

"Really?!" Wang Lan was surprised, happy, and a little unbelievable, "How can it be so easy to get in there?"

"Really, because they happened to be recruiting technicians, I showed them my skills today. Master Xiao Wang said that my skills are better than his, so there must be no problem."

"Oh, this is great. I knew my son would definitely have a big future! He eats commercial food. Yan Qing, you are giving face to our parents, Lao Li! I will tell your grandparents about this tomorrow. "It also makes them happy," Li Weihua couldn't help but say.

"You haven't even revealed your horoscope yet, so what are you talking about? Don't let the news come out and make people jealous, and ruin your son's good deeds! Just hold it in, no one can tell when it will be true, and then let it go out. "

What Wang Lan didn't say was that she was afraid that if things didn't work out, she would have already spread the big words and made people laugh.

"Yes, that's right. If I don't say it, I definitely won't say it. I'll go and tell Yan Qing's grandparents the good news after the matter is settled!"

Yan Shu also said with admiration on her face, "Brother, you are so awesome."

"That's right, I'm an older brother, so I can't set a good example for my younger sister? Xiao Shu can be so good in the future."

Yan Shu nodded like a fool, "Brother said I'm awesome, I must be awesome."

This time, Wang Lan was no longer reluctant to part with the chicken. She happily killed the chicken, boiled water, and fried the chicken.

It is not only the birthday of my daughter, but also a celebration for my son.

As for the mother's Good Friday mentioned by her son, Wang Lan was quite moved. This little brat was raised for nothing, and he knew he felt sorry for his mother.

Wang Lan was cooking and Li Weihua was lighting the fire. Brother and sister Yan Qing had nothing to do, so they squatted behind the stove, eagerly waiting for the chicken to come out of the pot.

"Brother, the last time you ate meat was during the Chinese New Year, right?"

"You are what I am not."

"Why aren't you?"

"I had braised pork for lunch today. It was invited by someone else."

Yan Shu immediately showed an expression of envy.

Yan Qing added, "From the state-owned hotel."

Wow, my brother is so annoying! Deliberately showing off to seduce her.

"When I get my salary, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Brother, you are so kind. My brother is the best in the world!"

Wang Lan and his wife couldn't help but smile as they watched the two brothers and sister singing together.

"Okay, go wash your hands and get ready to eat. Look how greedy you two are." Wang Lan smiled and said to Li Weihua, "I'll take half of it in a bowl and you can give it to your parents."

It’s not easy to eat meat these days. Wang Lan felt that her parents-in-law treated her well, and they did not deliberately tease their daughter-in-law like other families. The division of the family was also very fair, so she reciprocated the kindness and was very filial to her parents-in-law. She would think of giving them something good if she had any good things.

Li Weihua nodded and smiled stupidly, "My wife is so kind."

Wang Lan rolled her eyes at him, "De Xing! Go and come back quickly."

Yan Qing's grandparents lived in uncle Li Wei's country, which was not far from their home. Li Weihua came back soon.

When the family sat down to the dinner table, it was still the same wild vegetable steamed buns and the unbeatable corn porridge, but because it was paired with fragrant fried chicken, the dinner immediately became richer.

Wang Lan's cooking skills are good. The fried chicken is very delicious, slightly numb and spicy, mixed with the aroma of chicken, which makes people appetizing.

Because the meat is chopped into small pieces and fried, the chicken legs are not spared. However, Yan Shu couldn't stop eating and had long forgotten the two chicken drumsticks her brother had promised her.

"Delicious!"

"Is meat delicious? Then if you work hard and study hard, you can eat meat every day." Yan Qing said.

The temptation to eat meat every day was too great. Yan Shu nodded fiercely, "I will work hard!"

The meal was very satisfying, and the whole family held their stomachs in their hands and burped.

In this era, eating meat and being full are both luxury items.

After the meal, the family of four walked in the yard for a while to eat before going to bed.

For the next few days, Yan Qing ran to the county agricultural machinery station every day to help Wang Hongjun.

The corn, potatoes and other crops in his space have matured a few times, and he has accumulated a lot of inventory. However, he did not take out these items anymore and only kept them for his family to eat.

The wild ginseng, on the other hand, grew quickly under his special care.

Yan Qing estimated that it was about forty or fifty years old, and felt that it was almost there. Pulled out from the soil and brought outside the space.

"Eh? Brother, why did you come back so early today?"

When Yan Shu and the others came back from work, they felt a little strange when they saw Yan Qing at home. In the past few days, he would leave early and come back late, and would not come back until dinner time.

"There was not much work today, so I came back early. I came back in the middle of the afternoon and saw that there was no more firewood at home, so I went to the back mountain to collect firewood. As a result, guess what I found?"

Yan Qing looked at them with a mysterious face.

"Could it be a pheasant?" Yan Shu suddenly remembered the chicken from last time, her eyes lit up, and she guessed with anticipation.

Yan Qing shook his head and said, "guess the bigger picture."

"Is it a wild rabbit?"

"No matter how big it is!"

"Could it be a wild boar?"

Yan Qing was speechless, "Okay, don't guess, come and take a look."

The three of them were extremely curious and quickly followed Yan Qing into the room to take a look.

When they saw what Yan Qing took out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"This is... ginseng?"

"It must have been like this for decades, right?" Li Weihua was surprised, "And you dug it out without any damage. It's in such good condition, it should be able to sell for a good price!"

"Yan Qing, where did you find it?" Wang Lan also asked.

"It's just a little inside the back mountain."

Wang Lan became anxious as soon as he heard this, "You went inside? Why are you so brave? There is a blind bear inside, what if you encounter him? You are not allowed to go there in the future!"

"Okay, okay, I listen to you and won't go there again. I didn't pay attention this time."

Wang Lan felt relieved.

A family of three gathered around this ginseng, and the more they looked at it, the happier they became.

"It's useless for us to keep it. Let's sell it tomorrow." Yan Qing suggested.

"Why is it useless? This is a good thing. It is rare to find. It can be kept as a family heirloom in the future! In case of any illness or disaster, it can save a life!" Li Weihua said.

Yan Qing: "..."

Misstep, the family is not too poor to open the pot, so they are reluctant to sell ginseng.

"Dad, why don't you sell it? I need money. Master Xiao Wang has been treating me to dinner every day these days, and I feel bad about it. Moreover, he has to help me with job inquiries. I can't just say nothing, right? And I will do the same in the future. When I go to work in the county, I need to buy some decent clothes, right

Li Weihua thought about it, thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement, "Then sell it."

It's just that he looked very heartbroken.

Yan Qing pretended not to see it. Anyway, he still had a few pills in his space, and if he was really going to get sick, his spiritual spring would be more useful than ginseng.

The next day, Yan Qing took the ginseng and went to the medicinal material purchasing station in the county.

The expert on medicinal materials took a look and said that the ginseng was at least fifty years old, and gave Yan Qing a price of 120 yuan.

One hundred and twenty yuan is quite a lot. With this money, we can improve our family's life. This is just a transition. Before the money is spent, he will definitely be able to solve his work problem.

Yan Qing sold the ginseng and went to the agricultural machinery station with a huge sum of money.

Double happiness came. As soon as Yan Qing arrived at the agricultural machinery station, he heard Wang Hongjun tell him excitedly, "Master Wang is back. I told him about you. He said that if your skills are really good, he can keep you!"
