Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside in the courtyard, everyone was eating happily. After drinking half a bowl of bone soup, Ye Lulu’s body felt warm. When they heard Mother Rong say that she was going to the kitchen to stir-fry some vegetables, the group of men and children became greedy and ate too much. Their appetite was so huge that they did not seem to have enough to eat.

Mother Rong also entered the house and asked Ye Lulu how she was eating and if there was anything else she wanted to eat. Ye Lulu thought of the vegetables that Mother Rong had planted by the side of the house during the day, which included vats of beans, cabbage, peas, spinach, cucumbers, and chili. Ye Lulu suddenly remembered that the pea seedlings were tender and could be eaten. Her appetite made her want to eat some fresh green vegetables.

She looked up and said to Mother Rong, “Mother, can the pea seedlings in the field be eaten? I want to eat some pea seedlings.”

Mother Rong was shocked. The seedlings of peas? Was that edible?

When Ye Lulu saw Mother Rong’s stunned expression, she could vaguely feel that the people of this dynasty seemed to be very conservative when it came to food.

Or could it be that the mountains were too isolated and people were afraid of illnesses, so their eating was very monotonous?

“Mother, the sharp tips on the pea seedlings can be pinched off to eat. They are called pea seedlings or pea tips. It’s a type of vegetable for seedlings. Have you never eaten sweet potato leaves?”

Mother Rong shook her head in confusion.

The sweet potato vines were only used to feed pigs. Villagers only ate the vegetables they’ve planted in their own vegetable fields unless they were some familiar wild vegetables.

Ye Lulu was speechless. “…”

“Our hometown eats pea seedlings.” Ye Lulu simply used this excuse again and even laid the groundwork for the future. “We have a lot of different kinds of food over there. There are many dishes and cooking methods. I’ll tell Mother in the future. Pea seedlings are edible. They’re the best when boiled in bone soup. They’re delicious, tender, and fresh. It’s good for the body as well.”

After Mother Rong heard what Ye Lulu said, she quickly nodded and turned around to head out to the vegetable field at home. She pinched the tips of peas.

When she returned to the kitchen, there was still a little bit of bone soup left. One had to know that there were many people in the Guan family. The pots used to cook rice and boil soup were huge. Huge portions were prepared as well.

Originally, this small amount of bone soup was meant to be made into bone soup porridge for Ye Lulu later. However, Ye Lulu had just mentioned that a bowl of white rice was enough for her and she did not need to eat supper at night.

Mother Rong washed the fresh pea seedlings and boiled them in the bone soup again.

The process of making hot and fresh pea seedlings gave Mother Rong inspiration. She even chopped a radish. Radish was cold in nature, so it wasn’t suitable for Ye Lulu, who had just given birth. However, the rest of the family could eat it.

The boiled pea seedlings were placed in the bone soup and a small bowl was sent to Ye Lulu.

As for the rest, Mother Rong simmered the radish in the thick bone soup for a while longer. The fragrant smell of pork bones and marrow seeped into the stewed radish. Only then did Mother Rong scoop them out.

Ye Lulu ate fresh pea seedlings in her house. The strong fragrance of the bone soup was coupled with the clear fragrance of the pea seedlings. The smooth and fresh texture of the vegetables made one shiver and feel extremely comfortable inside.

Even though only a little salt was added and the bone soup was thick, Ye Lulu still enjoyed this small bowl of pea seedlings very much.

This was the greatest benefit of being a farmer. The ingredients were all very fresh, especially the vegetables. They were planted in the fields and the air was fresh. They were simply blessed by the heavens.

The bone meat, pea seedlings, and white rice were all soaked in the bone soup. Ye Lulu ate with relish.
