The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 243: Duck Slaughter Captain

"Okay, if I had known, I would have come earlier."

"It's okay. We will keep collecting them in the future. If you have any, you can bring them over and ask."

After counting the twenty ducks under her feet, Old Mrs. Zhou continued to count those of another person.

In total we collected about fifty of them and drove them all into the duck shed. They made a lot of noise with their quacking.

"Third brother, won't your family have endless ducks to kill in the future?"

Yang Liuqing was looking at the yard full of ducks and was really overwhelmed by the noise.

"That's about right. Since my family is engaged in the roast duck business, we must have an endless supply of ducks to kill."

"Tsk, that's really a hassle. You buy ducks for 20 cents each. How can you make money? It's one or two cents more expensive than those duck collectors on the street."

"I can earn some money, but it's not much. If the roast duck is sold at a high price, people won't be able to afford it. If no one buys it at a high price, the business won't be successful."

"That's right. After all the trouble, you won't get much money."

"It's okay, take your time. These jobs are all done by our family. If we are too busy, we will hire people. If you want to do it then, I will let you be the duck slaughtering team leader."

"Haha, Third Brother, that's great. It's only a few steps from my home to yours. It would be great if you can find a job that can make money."

Zhou Laosan and Yang Liuqing were killing ducks while chatting, talking about everything under the sun.

Zhou Mingshu took the duck out of the pot and let him gnaw on a duck head and a duck neck, which amazed him greatly.

"delicious!"

Yang Liuqing's hands were covered in oil. He didn't expect that the duck head was so delicious.

Before, when we ate duck at home, we would cut off the part above the duck’s neck and bury it under a tree. Now thinking about it, it’s a pity.

"Not bad, my niece's cooking skills are really amazing. When you become the leader of the duck slaughtering team, you can eat as much as you want."

Zhou Laosan is a man who is good at making promises, and he made Yang Liuqing very happy.

Zhou Mingshu watched them having fun with a smile, and quietly did his own thing beside them.

It was too tiring for grandma to carry the ducks and weigh them one by one, so she wanted to make a balance scale so that it would be convenient to collect the ducks in the future.

She first weighed four pounds of stones and placed them in a basket, then tied an empty basket to the other end. She took the center point of the wood as the support point and tied it to both ends of the wood.

As long as the weight of the duck and the stone are similar, you can pry up the stone on the other side. It is relatively simple to make.

Place the finished balance scale on one side of the yard and it can be put into use later.

With the addition of Yang Liuqing, Zhou Lao Da and his three companions killed forty ducks that day.

Looking at so many ducks at home, he wanted to kill a few more.

But it was soon stopped by Liu.

"Don't kill him, don't kill him. If you have the energy, why not help us clean up the duck intestines? We can't finish it all."

Looking at the mountain of duck intestines in the yard, Boss Zhou gave up the idea of ​​killing ducks.

"Okay, then let's clean up the duck intestines. Liu Qing, there are too many duck intestines at home. If you want to eat some, take some home and clean them up. This stuff tastes pretty good after being cleaned up."

"Forget it, big brother, I don't want it. Is this thing edible? It's just pretending to be good. I'm afraid I'll vomit."

Yang Liuqing was telling the truth, and Boss Zhou could understand that how could someone who had never eaten this thing know how delicious it was? !

"Come, come, don't leave yet. I'll let you taste how delicious it is. This thing costs one penny."

Boss Zhou took out two pieces of duck intestines from the pot and asked Yang Liuqing to taste them.

He didn't want to try it at first, but he really couldn't resist the aroma of the pot.

The duck intestines were not as unpalatable as he had thought. Instead, they were very delicious, chewy, tasty, spicy and numbing. They tasted the same as the duck heads and necks he had just eaten, except that they had no bones, so the taste was different.

It’s really delicious!

"How is it? It tastes pretty good, right? This is a delicious dish we just developed. Come with us and wash a pot of it. Then go home and ask your mother to fry a plate for you. Your father and you brothers can drink with it!"

"Okay, I'll go call my wife over now."

Yang Liuqing ran away, and when he came back he not only brought his wife with him, but also held two basins in his hands.

So a group of people took the duck intestines to the river to clean them.

The steps for cleaning duck intestines are a bit complicated, involving tearing, cutting, and turning over. It took a long time to clean them up.

"When you get home, rub it with vinegar, wine and salt, soak it for a while, rinse it clean and you can cook it. Remember to blanch it..."

Liu passed on her experience in washing duck intestines to the young couple.

"Okay, I understand sister-in-law, now let's go home and do it."

The two men walked away carrying the basins, and Zhou Laosan called out behind them, "Come early tomorrow, Captain Slaughtering Ducks."

"Third brother, I understand." Yang Liuqing responded loudly.

We collected so many ducks at home that the ground was covered with duck feathers and duck droppings. Although most of the flushing water had flowed out, it still smelled a bit smelly.

Zhou Mingshu asked his father to dig a hole in the vegetable garden next door and bury all the unwanted things in it. This is the best nutrients for the flowers and plants.

After working for most of the day, everyone was exhausted.

When it was time for dinner, everyone who was making soap next door came over.

"Hey, we've done all the dirty work, and you guys just came over. You came at the perfect time."

Liu sat aside to rest and kept teasing the children.

Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi sat aside laughing.

"Mother, we haven't been idle either. We made a lot of soap today, boiling lard and mortar shells. Our arms are so sore."

Zhou Mingqi pouted, expressing his dissatisfaction with what A Niang said.

Mrs. Liu laughed and reached out to massage her daughter's arm.

"Is it still sour?"

"Hey, mother has pinched me a lot."

"That couldn't be better. You and your eldest sister can go and prepare dinner for everyone later."

"Ah? So you were waiting for us here."

Everyone laughed.

But even though they were joking, they did not slack off on their work.

Knowing that the adults were working hard, Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi put on aprons and began to prepare dinner.

Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie also carried firewood into the kitchen, and they fetched water and picked vegetables, doing their job quite well.

A lot of duck intestines were washed today. Zhou Mingshu took out some and prepared to stir-fry them.

If you add some chopped peppers and garlic sprouts to it, it will be a super dish to go with rice.

"Saya, there's still a lot of braised duck in the pot. Should we serve it out and eat it?" Zhou Mingqin opened the pot and saw a lot of meat.

"Big sister, if you want to eat anything, take some out. We can sell the rest in town tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll take less." This is all money. If they eat more, the family will earn less.

Zhou Mingqin picked out two duck necks, selected a few duck wings and duck feet, cut them up and put them on the plate as a side dish.
