Chapter 240: Salted Duck Eggs
When Zhou Sining cooked the meal, Fu Lei and Zhou Jiguo also came back with a cart.
"What's the matter.,Didn't you find it?Didn't find a single egg?" She didn't look like she was happy when she looked at the expressions on her two faces, but thinking about the good luck of the male protagonist, if she wanted to say that he was out of the horse, she still didn't believe that she didn't find a single egg.
The two of them didn't speak, and pushed the cart into the yard together, and then Fu Lei locked the courtyard door with a wave of his hand. Then Zhou Sining saw that the two of them immediately ripped off the corners of their mouths, and the smile was bright.
"Hey, hey, let me tell you about my daughter-in-law, we've just had a big harvest. Fu Lei walked to his daughter-in-law in a few brisk steps and began to show off.
"Huh?" Zhou Sining looked at the car, thinking that since they had a harvest, it must have been hidden in the car.
"Just now, I was afraid of running into people on the road, and when I saw that we were ducks and eggs, it was not good, so I hid everything under the sack. Zhou Jiguo stretched out his hand and dragged down the two sacks on it, and took out the two ducks that were tied up that were hidden inside.
"Look, it's alive, we thought we had a duck stewed today, and if we came back after getting killed, we wouldn't be able to eat it for a while. Fu Lei also took out a grass pocket made of reeds from the car, which was full of green wild duck eggs.
"Daughter-in-law, you don't know, the place where we cut the reeds today is not far from the wild duck's nest, oops, so much, there is no foothold. Fu Lei said exaggeratedly.
To tell the truth, he was dumbfounded when he saw the wild duck nests all over the ground, why didn't he see it when he came in the afternoon to catch the wild ducks, obviously this is not far from the place where he works.
"Yes, how many have you picked up?" Zhou Sining happily took the bag of duck eggs and held it up to his eyes to take a closer look.
"We counted and picked up, there were fifty, I still wanted to pick up more, but Jiguo didn't let it, said to give the wild ducks a way to live, I thought about it, we can't do the thing of killing chickens and taking eggs, if we pick up all the duck eggs this year, we won't be able to eat ducks next year." He Fu Lei is also a knowledgeable and literate person, and he still understands these superficial truths.
"Well, that's the right thing to do. Zhou Sining praised it, thinking about fifty duck eggs, it is estimated that her pickle jar should be able to fit it.
"Hehe, of course, this thing is pickled and delicious in winter, Jiguo and I have said okay, and when we get off work tomorrow, we will take a flashlight and go to a farther place to walk around, we have so many eggs in front of us, and it is estimated that there must be a lot of other reeds. ”
feelings, although they don't want to kill them all, but they want to go to Huohuo for more wild ducks.
Zhou Sining was very supportive of them being so motivated, and said with a wave of his hand: "That's a good feeling, let's have a good meal of duck today, and you all work hard, and it depends on you whether our family can eat meat or not a year ago." ”
That night, a family of three who had a lot of white meat was very happy to gnaw a pot of duck meat head-to-head, and ate a pot of duck meat one by one, that is, a pot of duck meat was a little less for them, and the pot was empty as soon as they gnawed out of interest.
Fu Lei said ruthlessly: "Let's stew two and eat it tomorrow." ”
Zhou Sining didn't care after eating, she had to go to the backyard to see how the old sow and a few little pigs were doing, and she had to get them something to eat.
As for picking up the table and washing the dishes, aren't Fu Lei and Zhou Jiguo there, they can't cook, they can still do this bit of work.
As soon as she opened the door of the pigsty, the heart-rending howl of the sow came, and Zhou Sining bared her teeth, it seemed that the sow was really hungry.
After entering, she opened the door of the sow's room, went in and comforted the sow skillfully for a while, and then walked out and went to the hall to cook for the sow.
This sow should be just over a year old, which is the golden period of production, so it must be well raised.
When she returned to the house, she saw that the two of them had cleaned up the kitchen, sat down on the small bench with satisfaction, pulled open the sack of potatoes, and began to pick and choose.
"Daughter-in-law, are you going to boil potatoes for our pigs?" Fu Lei leaned over and asked.
"Hmm. Zhou Sining pulled in the sack, picked out the strange-shaped ones or small potatoes, and prepared to wash and boil them for a while, so as to deal with today's meal first.
Fu Lei squatted down to help pick it up in the basin, "There are only so many potatoes in our house, I can't feed them a few times." He was a little afraid that the old sow would eat all these winter vegetables at home, and then they would have to tie their necks in winter.
"Well, just deal with it today and tomorrow, Dabao has made an appointment with others, and he will send us food tomorrow, and I estimate that it will be at noon at the earliest." In other words, you have to last two meals of potatoes. "And the feed I have saved, it hasn't been fermented yet, and I can't feed the pigs yet, but it is estimated that the first batch of the feed should be able to eat in a week or so. ”
At first, she only planned to raise a few piglets, so the family did not prepare in advance, and at that time she wondered how she could survive the feed she stored with a sack of potatoes to ferment. Now an old sow suddenly came, and this sack of potatoes was obviously a little underwhelming. Fortunately, Comrade Zhou Jiguo was impulsive, he still had a brain at the time, and he knew that he would buy some food to feed the pigs by the way, so she only had to worry about two meals of pig food today and tomorrow.
Fu Lei nodded when he heard this, he didn't have any concept of these, as long as his daughter-in-law said okay.
"Daughter-in-law, are you going to wash these, I'll come. He rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
So the couple worked together, a simple pig meal was cooked in a short time, and after drying, Fu Lei went to the backyard to feed the pigs with a bucket.
The next day, Fu Lei and Zhou Jiguo got up early and went to work after eating, because they had to wait for someone to deliver food, so Zhou Sining didn't go out to cut reeds in the morning.
After she had fed the pigs, she went to the backyard to spread out a large pile of reeds that had been piled up on the edge of the courtyard wall, and spread them on the ground in the backyard, ready to take advantage of the good weather to dry it.
After ten o'clock, there was movement in the front yard, Zhou Sining hurriedly went to the front yard to take a look, and sure enough, it was still the coachman yesterday, driving an ox cart at the door.
"Big sister, don't you remember when I came here yesterday, but I'm here to bring you food today. The coachman struggled to squeeze out a little laugh.
"Remember, remember. Zhou Sining hurried over and opened the courtyard gate so that he could drive the ox cart into the courtyard.
When the ox cart entered the yard, Zhou Sining saw that the cart was covered with a burlap bag, but judging from that height, it should be a lot.
"Hehe, I think your family probably doesn't have anything to feed the old sow, so I got up early this morning to bring you sweet potatoes. After the coachman drove the ox cart into the yard, he asked Zhou Sining where to unload the things, and then she didn't need to do anything, and unloaded the sacks on the ox cart in a few clicks.
