Chapter 565: Cutting Ye Chen's chives!

After lunch, Wang Zhenggang arranged another truck to send a truckload of daffodils over.

The daffodils he sent were all high-quality varieties that grew very lush and green, and according to Ye Chen's requirements, every single one hadn't bloomed yet.

The plant known as the daffodil grows very much like chives, and even more so when it hasn't bloomed.

People in the city themselves don't distinguish plants very clearly, and most people have eaten chives and seen cut chives, but haven't seen chives growing in the ground, so it's very easy to confuse chives and daffodils.

Chives are a vegetable that people love to see and hear about. Whether it's stir-frying, making soup, or making fillings for pies and dumplings, they are an indispensable good ingredient.

But this thing called a daffodil, it's not edible.

Why can't it be eaten? Because daffodils contain narcissine.

And narcissine itself is a toxic alkaloid.

Ye Chen heard Ma Lan say that Old Mrs. Xiao likes to eat chives, so he immediately thought of the plant known as the autumn crocus.

He knew that after Old Mrs. Xiao succeeded in stealing vegetables once, she would definitely come to steal again, and she would definitely come to steal often.

So he had Wang Zhenggang arrange for workers to plant all these autumn crocuses against the wall corner.

In this way, Old Mrs. Xiao could grab a handful as soon as she reached out from outside the iron fence; stealing was really as easy as could be.

If she stole these daffodils and ate these daffodils thinking they were chives, then her end would definitely be very miserable.

Although it wouldn't cost her life, staying in the hospital for a few days is probably unavoidable.

Ye Chen's idea was to first let her family eat daffodils and stay in the hospital, and during the time they were hospitalized, he would have people turn all the fences into walls, and then build his vegetable garden into a glass house, so that he would never be afraid of anyone coming to steal again.

When the truck came to unload the goods, Old Mrs. Xiao next door happened to see it on the third-floor terrace.

When she saw the workers moving clusters of green, slender-leaved plants down from the car, she immediately felt her eyes light up!

It's actually chives!

And they are such fresh chives!

She couldn't help but think of the delicious meal at noon. Because of the vegetables stolen from Ye Chen's house, this home-cooked meal was very delicious, and even felt especially green and healthy.

Now seeing that Ye Chen's house had so many fresh chives again, Old Mrs. Xiao was naturally overjoyed, because what she liked to eat the most was chives!

And she had been wandering around during this period, encountered so many changes, and had been in the detention center for several days, so she hadn't eaten chive and egg dumplings for a long time!

At this moment, seeing so many fresh good chives in Ye Chen's house, her first thought was to hurry and take a knife to cut two handfuls, make some chive and egg dumplings, and eat to her heart's content tonight!

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Old Mrs. Xiao took a nap and woke up. The first thing she did was come to the terrace to see how Ye Chen's chives were doing.

Seeing that Ye Chen had planted all the chives on the side against the iron fence, Old Mrs. Xiao was very happy.

Doesn't this just happen to facilitate her?

So, she immediately went downstairs.

At this time, Xiao Changgan's family of four was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Xiao Hailong moved the TV from an empty room downstairs up. Although it wasn't as big as the one sold, it was already quite good.

Old Mrs. Xiao said to Qian Hongyan, "Hongyan, you go out for a trip, buy a box of eggs, and buy a bag of flour."

Qian Hongyan hurriedly asked flatteringly, "Mom, what do you want eggs and flour for?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "Making chive and egg dumplings for dinner!"

Xiao Hailong said with surprise, "Grandma, making dumplings for dinner?"

"Yes!" Old Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "Do you like chives and eggs?"

Xiao Hailong said with a smile, "Oh my, I like them too much! I haven't eaten chive and egg dumplings for a long time. You saying that makes me drool a little!"

Xiao Changgan also laughed and said, "Mom, how did you think of eating chive and egg dumplings today? You haven't cooked dumplings for a long time."

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "I'm happy today, there will be enough chive and egg dumplings for dinner!"

"That's great!" Xiao Changgan sighed, "I haven't eaten dumplings for a while either, I'll satisfy my craving today!"

Qian Hongyan asked, "Mom, besides flour and eggs, do I need to buy some chives?"

Old Mrs. Xiao laughed triumphantly, "Ye Chen's house got a lot of very fresh chives this afternoon, I'll go out and cut two handfuls back in a while!"

Xiao Changgan hurriedly said, "Mom, then cut a bit more, and by the way, making some chive and pork dumplings is also fine!"

Xiao Weiwei said, "We can also make chive-filled pies!"

"Good, good, good!" Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and laughed, "Then I'll cut a bit more back!"

By 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Old Mrs. Xiao went out with a kitchen knife.

She put the kitchen knife into the bamboo basket and ran all the way to the outside of Ye Chen's fence.

Old Mrs. Xiao looked around, seeing no one in the courtyard, she hurriedly took out the knife, reached into the fence, and cut a large handful of chives.

After cutting this handful, she immediately cut two more large handfuls.

She felt it was enough, but thinking carefully, such good chives were really rare, it would be a loss not to cut a bit more.

So she cut six handfuls in a row, and the "chives" she cut couldn't even fit in the bamboo basket.

Seeing that she succeeded, Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly wanted to run back.

At this time, Ma Lan saw that the sun was about to set, so she leaned on her crutches and went to the terrace to bask in the sun.

After all, the doctor told her that if she wanted her leg to heal quickly, she had to bask in the sun more, which could synthesize Vitamin D.

Arriving at the terrace, she happened to see Old Mrs. Xiao stealing vegetables and leaving again. She cursed angrily, "You old immortal thing, you just stole so many vegetables from my house this morning, and you dare to come this afternoon, are you still shameless?"

Old Mrs. Xiao turned her head, looked at her, and jumped while cursing, "What's the matter? You are my daughter-in-law, I eat some of your vegetables, and you are still nagging at me?"

Ma Lan cursed, "Who the hell is your daughter-in-law, you shameless old thing, if you dare to come to my house to steal vegetables next time, I'll break your legs!"

Old Mrs. Xiao spat and cursed, "Don't know when your own broken leg will heal, and you dare to clamor at me? Believe it or not, I'll break your leg next time?"

As soon as Ma Lan heard this, she was instantly furious!

Her leg was broken by Old Mrs. Xiao in the detention center, and she had always remembered this grudge.

Seeing Old Mrs. Xiao come to steal vegetables again, and even using the broken leg matter to curse her, Ma Lan cursed through gritted teeth, "Just steal! Old thing! Your mouth is so cheap, sooner or later you'll eat yourself to death!"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, "Let me tell you, Ma Lan, I have a long life, you could die eight hundred times and I wouldn't die! If you don't believe it, let's wait and see who dies first!" ===== CHAPTER 566 =====
