Chapter 116: The Eaten Mandarin Duck (Three Changes, Add More to Karlking)
Uncle Wang listened to Xu Ying's words and nodded.
"Yes, who buys it, at first it was said that it would be sold for 10,000, then 8,000, and then 5,000, no one asked at all, and many people laughed at it, saying that it was a fool who could buy it, it was a big head, and now I heard that it was only sold for 1,000, but there is still no one, anyway, give me a hundred, I don't want it."
Uncle Wang said very realistically, give it to him, he is useless, the lotus is beautiful and can't be eaten as a meal, it's quite far, it's not good to go on a trip. With this effort, he can clean up an acre of land and come out, anyway, it's not bad here, as long as you are willing to work and open up wasteland, the land that comes out is your own family, and you can grow as much food as you want.
One thousand, Xu Ying thought about it in her heart, it's good to buy it, but unfortunately she doesn't need it now, so let's wait until the time to go over there and take a look.
Xu Ying and the others entered the Zhuangzi, which was built with brick houses, but it looked a little old, and the houses were not very big, only fifty or sixty square meters.
And the houses here are relatively low, not like the houses in the Central Plains, where the frames are very high.
It's really in the countryside.
Low houses, wooden fences, vegetable depressions everywhere, fruit trees in front of and behind the house.
The sound of dogs, chickens, ducks and geese rattled all over the place.
It's really a lot of fun.
However, the countryside is indeed not comparable to the city, the ground is full of dung, dogs, chickens and ducks, and if you are not careful, you will step on it.
Xu Ying sighed, they arrived at Wang's house.
The Wang family's house looks no different from the one in Zhuangzi.
Aunt Wang looks quite rich, and she looks a lot fatter than Uncle Wang.
Her legs and feet are not very dexterous. But the people are very warm and smile very amiably.
She took Xu Ying's hand and said that she was a good girl for a long time, beckoned Xu Ying and Liu Mingda to sit down, poured water for the two, and kept asking.
Xu Ying and Liu Mingda talked to Aunt Wang for a while, and proposed to go to the courtyard to take a walk.
"Go ahead, there's nothing good here, don't dislike it. In front of the door is a ditch, and the front and back yards are planted with vegetables. There's nothing else to eat now. There are only some turnips and cabbage left, and I will decorate them for you to eat when you leave. β
Aunt Wang was very grateful to the two of them and let them watch at will, while she and Wang Damin made a fire and cooked together. Uncle Wang rested on the kang quilt.
Xu Ying and Liu Mingda separated. The two walked casually.
There are indeed quite a lot of mountains. It's also quite big, Xu Ying can see when he stands next to the house, and the village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Verdant, lush, and endless.
In front of Uncle Wang's house is a small river, although it is not big, it can be extended for a long time, no wonder Uncle said that there are many river bubbles here. They passed several small rivers on the way here, and the uncle introduced them to them.
What is this red-tailed bubble, the fish in it are all red-tailed.
What this is a clear water bubble, the water in it is cool, and there are no fish.
What is this silver carp bubble, there is a special silver carp.
β¦β¦
Each blister has a name.
In addition, Uncle Wang said to go inside, go to Yichun's side, there are several bridges over there, and they call them one bridge, two bridges, three bridges, a total of four bridges.
The river over there is very long, the water is very cold, and even in the summer time, the water is icy bones.
The fish in the river are slow, but they are also very tasty.
Xu Ying sighed, what a good place. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the air is good, if you come here to retire, it is a good choice.
Then she laughed again, how old she was, and she thought about the issue of pension. I want to retire, but it's too early.
"Yingzi, Yingzi, come on, come on, come and see what this is?"
Liu Mingda shouted loudly.
The last time he came, it was almost midnight, and the time he left was early in the morning, so he didn't even look at this Zhuangzi.
Besides, the last time he came and this time are completely different, last time he came to give people away, and this time he came to play with Xu Ying.
"What."
Xu Ying looked away from the fruit tree.
This fruit tree was planted by Uncle Wang's own family, and he said what is it called a dry bowl of plums, as well as red plums, as well as cherries, sand fruits, etc., one for each, raised, and the time to bear the fruit is to make a tooth sacrifice for his family. But now the fruit is almost gone. It's out of season.
Xu Ying came to Liu Mingda's side.
Liu Mingda was standing by the ditch at the moment, pointing to a pair of creatures in the middle of the ditch and shouting at Xu Yinglian.
Xu Ying's eyes widened.
This?
Is this a mandarin duck?
She has only seen mandarin ducks on TV, but she has never seen real mandarin ducks.
But is this a mandarin duck?
Xu Ying wasn't sure, it looked quite similar.
"Is it a mandarin duck?"
Xu Ying asked Liu Mingda.
"Yes, yes, let's open our eyes today, why are there mandarin ducks in such a small ditch? Look, look, how good-looking, like the two of us? β
Liu Mingda put his arm around Xu Ying's shoulders as he spoke, and the two looked at the mandarin ducks together.
The mandarin duck is very beautiful, and it is not afraid of people, and it keeps playing with water with its mouth, and it is very cheerful.
Xu Ying had a soft smile on her face.
It's good that she saw the mandarin ducks.
"Your luck is not bad, I just saw the mandarin duck when I came, we have a lot of this thing here, I am common, but it is not every day."
Uncle Wang was called off the kang by Liu Mingda's shout, thinking that something had happened, but how did he know that when he came out, the little couple was watching the mandarin ducks.
"Everything? Isn't it, isn't this a rarity? β
Liu Mingda exclaimed, he felt that it was a blessing and luck to be able to see this, why did he listen to the uncle, why is this mandarin duck worthless.
"It's nothing rare, it's just that it's good-looking, it's not as much as wild ducks, and it's not as delicious as wild duck meat. Last time, Lai San of our Zhuangzi got one, saying that the meat was not delicious at all, so no one ate it, but it was a wild duck, there were many things, and there were flocks, and it was not bad to eat a few. β
Uncle Wang said very sincerely.
Xu Ying and Liu Mingda were speechless when they listened.
Mandarin ducks.
That's the bird of loyalty.
It's for people to watch, for people to see.
How lucky you have to be to see.
What about them!
I caught it and ate it.
And also said that the meat is not tasty, not as good as wild ducks.
ThisβThis is really......
Xu Ying helped her forehead, she was really defeated.
The people here are so powerful! It's so powerful that you eat mandarin duck meat. She couldn't imagine it.
"It will snow in half a month, and the river ditch should be frozen, and then there will be nothing, and you won't see anything here, but there are good things at that time, last year there were more than a dozen pheasants and two wild boars in the Zhuangzi. Although the wild boar is coarse, it tastes strange and fragrant, when the time comes, see if there is any, if there is, I will give you dozens of catties of meat, and you can take it back to taste it. β
Uncle Wang is very fluent when talking about the things in the village and on the mountain. (To be continued......)
