Erya looked at Laizi funny, this was completely pretending to be a chicken feather and an arrow, but she didn't pierce it.

In fact, now that the country is safe and secure, the borders are relatively stable, and the famine caused by the drought has passed, who else will rob the military rations in the face of the world's condemnation?

Of course, she won't say what she thinks in her heart, but she is more concerned about whether her things can be sold: "Ahem! What Old General Qin said is always right, I want to ask, that duck Old General Qin can say that he wants it? Er Ya finally asked about the duck.

Of course, General Qin would not tell Laizi about this, but he did explain to his grandson. So without waiting for Laizi to answer his sister-in-law, Qin Baihu took over the conversation and said, "This duck can be wanted, but there is no pig, beef, and mutton to clean up, and our gang leader army does not have the time to slaughter and pluck the feathers." A gang leader has to be in charge of the food and drink of tens of thousands of people, and the time is very tight. ”

Er Ya nodded, and the uncle, second uncle, and uncle also looked at Er Ya with a blank face, Er Ya didn't care about them, just lowered his head and thought about things: This matter is indeed a problem. The army didn't have time to kill ducks, and she also wanted to keep the duck down to make goose down jackets, coats or something. The problem is that if this duck is slaughtered here and transported to the border, I am afraid that by the end of the place, there will be a bunch of meat maggots and a pair of skeletons. If you drown it with salt and send it over, it will not be considered fresh, and people may not want it. In the case of freezing, as far as the current technology is concerned, there is no equipment that can guarantee that the ice can be on the road for more than 20 days and will not melt for nearly a month.

The best way she could think of at the moment was to transport the live ducks to her home in the Northland. From there, people are recruited to slaughter and lift eiderdown. Then the duck meat is soaked in special seasoning water, the salt is slightly lightened, and it is three or four days before it reaches the border. Not only will the duck not be bad, but the soaking flavor should have been in the bones. It should taste even better when baked! If she uses ice, she can also have a way to ensure that it does not melt for three or four days.

Thinking of this, she felt that she could solve this problem, so she looked up and said, "It's okay, I'll figure out how to deal with this and guarantee that it will come to you." Pick it up and use it. I'm going to save a few ducks for tonight, and I'm going to make you the simplest, most practical, and most delicious roast duck tomorrow night. If you still feel like you can eat it, I'll teach my brother how to eat. Let him go back and teach the leader of the army to the side. When you need it in the long run, we will do our best to provide you with enough supplies! ”

Qin Baihu heard that there was no need for them to join forces to bother, so he didn't say anything else. After all, before leaving, his grandfather also had a warning, as long as this problem can be solved. Then the duck will have it. Of course, it can't be broken!

He replied to Erya: "Sister-in-law! If you can handle this duck. Then there is no problem. We can receive! And the fresh fish you mentioned in your letter, we do need it. It's just that fresh fish at our border is very expensive, and there is no budget for fish in ordinary meals, so that fish can only be used as a monthly meal, and the amount required at one time will not exceed 20,000 catties at most. If you have too many fish, my grandfather said you can help ask if the other garrisons around you will want it! ”

Er Ya heard that the fish that he didn't explain to him had also landed, and he was happy! The corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily. Xiaohu is becoming more and more like a boss. It's a beautiful job. Ten thousand catties a month, 120,000 catties a year. All the fish they have in their family may not be enough! Then there's no need to go to someone else for a buy?!

Erya thought. He politely said to Qin Baihu: "It's really bothering the old general!" However, as far as the current output of our fish is concerned, I am afraid that we can only supply you to this garrison point, and when our fish gradually increase in the future, and you can't consume it, we will trouble General Qin to ask us. ”

Qin Baihu smiled and shook his head, "It's not a trouble!" In fact, they can't get it if they want it, and they can't get it if they can eat fresh fish. I guess as soon as the news of our availability of fresh fish spreads, they will come to their door. You're just afraid to raise some more next year. ”

The grandfather, uncle, uncle, and second uncle who were sitting next to them were all very excited when they heard it. grinning and smiling, he was planning in his heart that next year, he must help the Wang family change all the rice fields into rice fields that can raise fish. Nowadays, whether it is ducks or fish, no matter how much you raise, you are not afraid that you will not be able to sell them. Ah! Or Xiaohu and his wife will do things!

"Good! Then borrow your good words, and hope that there will be more demand next year. ”

After saying this, the uncle on the side followed and asked Qin Baihu: "That!" Master Qin, the food you asked for is still elsewhere, is it because someone in the past directly packed it and waited for you to check it when you went over to pull it, or did you send someone over to watch it and pack it. ”

Qin Baihu thought about it before replying: "You can arrange the manpower first!" I heard that the grain is on our way back, so we'll stop by and watch you pack it up and go straight from there. It is also saved to open and view the bag again. ”

The grandfather hurriedly responded: "Okay! I'm going to have someone send a letter, yes! When will they wait there? ”

Qin Baihu originally planned to have a good chat with Xiaohu and Xiangzi Dahong here, and it would be a few days. As a result, Xiaohu went to the grassland, and Xiangzi and Dahong seemed to be very busy, and it was not good for them to waste their time here, so they should go back early and settle down. Then he said, "Let's ring in the second half of tomorrow!" We're going to go into the city before it gets dark and rest the night. ”

The uncle here discussed things with Qin Baihu, and the second girl over there asked Laizi: "Did you meet your little tiger brother on the way here?" ”

Laizi replied with a smile: "I met, I was on the same road at the time, Xiaohu didn't expect it to be us, and drove the carriage and people to the side of the road for us to pass." It was I who first looked at a few horses in our family and became familiar with them, and then Li Darttou recognized Qin Baihu. We were yelling at each other almost at the same time! It's funny! ”

The second aunt also followed her son on the side as if she felt empathy, exaggerated with various expressions and actions such as surprise and joy, and cooperated with her son. Give your son a cheer.

Laizi continued: "Then we let the others drive the carriage forward, and Qin Baihu and I stayed for a while and chatted with Brother Xiaohu and them. Brother Xiaohu said that when they came back, they would ask the old general to help borrow the battle road. I thought that I would have a chance to spend a few days with Brother Xiaohu after I went back. ”

Erya thought that Xiaohu might have told Laizi about their plans in the Northland, so she didn't repeat it again. Just to discuss the accommodation arrangements for so many people tonight!

"Come on! You look at how so many people arrange, how do you usually stay? ”

Laizi said very carelessly: "How can it be arranged!" If you meet the inn, you will stay in the inn, and if you catch up in the wilderness, you will set up a tent and make up for the night. ”

The second aunt said on the side: "That's not at home, just make do." Now that they're at our house, how can we let them live in the wild again?! I think it's better to arrange a few for each family, and we all have attics. It should be easy to put the child to sleep in the attic and make room for the family! After all, this is for the sake of all of us, and everyone should contribute! ”

Laizi looked at Erya and waited for Erya to come up with an idea. Erya has been appointed by his grandfather as the actual head of the Wang family. She really couldn't excuse it. I had to nod and say, "Okay!" I'll tell my uncle about this. Let him take advantage of the time of dinner, everyone is there, and let him know. Moving a room should be quick. ”

The second uncle on the other side listened to their conversation and also participated, and said: "There is also the old house of the sixth grandfather's family, and the children who live in the north can also be scattered and arranged for the children of our families to sleep in the attic together, so that six rooms can be vacated at once." ”

"That's fine! Then the house is basically enough. ”

Inside, they discussed all sorts of things that needed to be dealt with. The soldiers outside were bored, or they watched the women busy with this and that. Or just watch the kids play all sorts of games.

Among these soldiers, there was a squad leader who saw Wang Shoucheng's eldest son, Wang Ziqing, playing chess with others at the door of his home. After watching a few games, he saw his interest, and after asking the rules of chess, he sat on a stool and asked to take a look at it with the prince.

Wang Ziqing corrected the mistakes of the squad leader while playing chess, and when the squad leader could draw with Wang Ziqinglai, there were more and more soldiers watching on the side, and there were not a few who were eager to try. Wang Shoushun, who was busy entertaining these people on the side, saw that these soldiers liked to play chess. I secretly said in my heart: This is good!

After learning this thing with Xiaohu and them, almost every family has it, and when they are idle, they will take it out and play a few plates.

Wang Shoushun cautiously asked one of the soldiers who was anxious to play chess, but didn't have a chance: "Master Bing!" If you want to play chess, we have it in our family, and I can go back and bring it to you!" ”

Several soldiers shouted happily: "Good! Go get it, we're waiting for you! ”

Wang Shoushun ran home to get chess, and the others found stools and small square tables to set up the chessboard for a while. It didn't take long for several chess stalls to sit here. There are more and more onlookers, and 'love onlookers' is a tradition that has never changed in our nation for 5,000 years.

Wang Shoushun was especially grateful to Xiaohu for the chess they raised at this time, with this chess, these soldiers finally stopped, and he could watch quietly on the sidelines, as long as he brought a pot of tea and put it on the side from time to time.

Because they have to make New Year's poop every year, and when they are busy with double grabs, some families unite to cook rice in order to save labor. Therefore, the seven or eight open-air pots on the edge of the drying field have always been kept there, reserved for everyone to make steamed rice cakes during the New Year, and can also be used for several families to cook together during the double robbery.

In order to prevent the adobe pot from collapsing by the rain, the Wang family will take a break from the roof of the shed every year to ensure that it does not leak, and the wooden pillars supporting it will be replaced from time to time so as not to collapse due to the summer storm.

Today, this temporary pot table in Wangjiazhuang is busy again, and seven or eight pots are used at the same time.

Those who hold firewood to make fires, scoop water and wash pots, those who use knives to cut vegetables, those who drag large pots to wash vegetables, those who wash rice, those who cook rice, those who carry water, are busy with their own things.

Soon the aroma of cooked rice, braised chicken, boiled duck, and fried goose with rice noodles emanated from each pot. The dogs scattered everywhere, the children playing wildly, and the soldiers watching people play chess, all shrugged their noses and gathered around in search of fragrance. (To be continued......)
