The four of them chatted and did it, and after a while, the work was almost done, and at this time, Yang Wu came over and saw that a few people were already working

It's almost done, scratching his head and saying embarrassedly, "...... Me, I overslept. ”

"It's okay, I don't have much to do." Sister-in-law Qin said with a smile: "I wasn't used to it when I first came to Weifu, but it was only later that I gradually improved

It's getting better. ”

"Yes, yes. Sister-in-law Qin is right, I didn't get up so early at home before, and these days the chickens don't crow every day

When I woke up, my eyelids were still sticky, and I didn't want to open them! ”

After listening to Sister-in-law Qin's words, Yang Wu felt the same way, and went down the stairs. poured out the pain of his own days

Come.

Not to mention Yang Wu, in fact, Hu Xiaomei is also a little unaccustomed, but things have changed, and she can't help herself, so she has to force herself

Adapt.

It didn't take long for it to get up, and people went to the duck farm one after another, leaving Qin Sister-in-law and Yuhe, and Hu Xiaomei in the duck shed

Start doing your own work.

The big mountain lady came in and saw that the three of them had arrived at the duck farm early, and couldn't help but look at Sister-in-law Qin. Both sides

She didn't see it in person, so she didn't say much. But seeing that Sister-in-law Qin was cleaning the entire duck farm with her head in the house, she was worried

It's a little bit more enjoyable.

Yesterday's cut duck feathers should be cleaned today, today's sky is high and sunny, take the opportunity to clean it out and dry it well.

Wei Dashan had something to do today, so he temporarily handed over the matter of the duck farm to his mother-in-law and had breakfast. Wei Dashan's mother-in-law twisted

waist to find the fox Xiaomei a few people.

"A few of you will go and wash the duck feathers in a while, and then get something to dry." Wei Dashan's mother-in-law was round

Rolling his waist, holding a fat face, he glanced at the silent sister-in-law Qin, and then said in a weird manner: "Be careful, you have to clean it."

Clean, and, don't make a name for yourself! After speaking, he pinched his waist and walked away triumphantly.

Yuhe stared at the back of Wei Dashan's mother-in-law angrily, wanting to be angry but not daring to make too much noise. I had to grit my teeth and mutter

"What the hell! ”

This little girl is pure in heart. Hu Xiaomei likes to deal with such people, so she didn't bother to think about it, and when she heard the words, she said, "You follow."

It's not worth it! Then get up: "Go!" ”

"What?" Yuhe was stunned. looked at the fox Xiaomei who got up.

"Go wash the duck feathers!" Fox Xiaomei said.

"Ouch!" Yuhe immediately covered his face sadly. He reached out and looked at his slender fingers: "It's such a cold day." Don't get frostbite! ”

"You're not a daughter, why are you so delicate!" Fox Xiaomei said with a smile.

"How can you say that! If you don't have to find your mother-in-law's family in the future, your hands are so swollen that they look like buns

Yes! Yuhe pouted.

Sister-in-law Qin and Hu Xiaomei both laughed when they heard this.

"Looking for your mother-in-law, who will look at your hands! Besides. When the time comes, make your face more beautiful and hide your hands

Come on! Make sure to find a good in-law. ”

"Ouch, you're so bad, making fun of people like that!" Yuhe covered his hot face embarrassedly and glared at the two

Man: "Don't mention this again, shame on you!" ”

Now it's time for Fox Xiaomei and Sister-in-law Qin to be dumbfounded, this girl is really not easy to serve, and I want to discuss it with them, and I don't want them to say it!

After cleaning up, several people took out a few large bags of duck down, and took a few large wooden basins that had been prepared and began to clean.

Hu Xiaomei and Thirteen have never done it, and they listened to Sister-in-law Qin's instructions to do what to do. Thirteen helped Sister-in-law Qin to the well to carry a few large pots to clean

The well water up. Hu Xiaomei and Yuhe poured a few bags of duck down cut from the duck tube into the basin first, and washed them in the basin with clean water

The duck down came, and nothing was put in, and it was not baked at high temperatures.

"So it's clean?" Fox Xiaomei asked Yuhe.

"No." Yuhe said, and told Hu Xiaomei in detail how to do it: "How can you wash it once, wash it for the first time, and also."

It has to be washed twice, and then spread out next to each other to dry...... When drying, it must be spread out and allowed to dry to a certain extent

degree, but also checked, see that there are sticky duck feathers and separate one by one...... Sometimes every time in order to be able to dry as soon as possible

You have to turn it over once every two hours...... You have to dry until the duck feathers are completely dehydrated. Finally, take a clean cloth bag and hang it

In the air, like the duck feathers in the room just now. ”

When they took the duck feathers, Hu Xiaomei and Thirteen had already followed Sister-in-law Qin into the room where duck feathers were stored, and as soon as they entered the room, they were jade

He told Fox Xiaomei that the cloth bags hanging in the air were full of duck feathers. Fox Xiaomei naturally pretended to be surprised

, also took the opportunity to ask the two how long these duck feathers have been stored. The answer I got was more than a month.

It also confirmed Hu Xiaomei's guess that there were more than so many ducks in the duck farm before, and many adult ducks had been slaughtered

, sold out.

"So there is so much demand for ducks outside? These ducks were all slaughtered on our farm, and no one wanted to live

Yes? Fox Xiaomei said.

"Yes, but our ducks are not taken out to be sold, they are smoked."

"What?" This shocked Hu Xiaomei, do people in this era know how to make meat into smoked meat?

As a result, Yuhe told her that there was this kind of smoked meat in many places in the Celestial Empire, but Wei Fu had researched a secret ingredient by himself.

So, the taste is more special, and it sells very well.

It also opened the eyes of Hu Xiaomei, she thought that her knowledge would be enough to take to ancient times, but now it seems that this

At some point, there are still a lot of things. However, some may be called differently. It also made her a little more cautious.

The well water in winter was bitterly cold, and after washing a few bags of duck feathers, several people's hands were red from the cold. Fortunately, the sun is at this time

It has come out, it is much warmer than in the morning, and the fox Xiaomei went to do some other work, and her hands have warmed up. In case of prevention

Stop chilblains on your hands. She rubbed her hands together for a few moments until the blood cleared from her hands. Skin color returns to positive

It's always just that.

When Thirteen saw it, he said to her: "In the future, you don't have to fight for this kind of thing, I'll just do it." My hands are rough and I can't freeze

Make move. ”

Fox Xiaomei smiled, but how could she really do that, she didn't do anything every time, let Thirteen go, and it would definitely take a long time

was talked about by others, although she quarreled with vanilla last time, and said in front of everyone that he and thirteen were family, but after all, there was no blood

Relationship. If you get too close. It's sure to be criticized.

But if you don't have one, you can do this, Hu Xiaomei said secretly in her heart.

The sun was shining on this day, and when Mrs. Wei Dashan saw that several people had cleaned the duck feathers almost well, she assigned another one to Qin's sister-in-law

Something to do. Let her not be idle. And this work of turning duck feathers gave the fox Xiaomei.

"The weather was nice today. Turn it every hour and dry all the feathers as soon as possible. "Not only that, but also to the fox

Xiao Mei assigned some other jobs. It takes a lot of time for a person to turn over seven or eight duck feathers, and he has to do other things, but the fox is small

Mei was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground.

Hu Xiaomei knew that this was Wei Dashan's mother-in-law, and when she saw that she and Sister-in-law Qin were getting close, she deliberately corrected her.

Almost all the work of the entire duck farm was given to Hu Xiaomei, and the rest of the people were all free to wander around the duck farm, or stand

Chat in the distance with the fame of duck herding. Sister-in-law Qin, Yuhe and Thirteen can't finish their own work, and naturally no one can help Hu Xiao

Flatter.

Several people were busy until dark to finish the work at hand. Fox Xiaomei moved a few duck feathers one by one to a room dedicated to duck feathers.

After a simple dinner, I washed up and went to sleep.

The Qin family didn't know what Hu Xiaomei was doing in the duck farm, and it was very strange to see her so tired, so he asked Hu Liyun: "She."

What's wrong, it looks like I'm tired! ”

Fox Liyun nodded, looking at the sleeping fox Xiaomei's eyes flashing!

The next day, Hu Xiaomei still got up early in the morning to help Sister-in-law Qin and Yuhe clean the duck shed. At dawn, the second steward guarded the mountain

Hurried over.

"Everybody move, work hard for me, don't be slow. The second son is coming over soon. ”

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and Hu Xiaomei paid attention to the movement at the door of the duck farm while sweeping the ground.

Sure enough, after a while, a group of people appeared at the door.

The person at the head was dressed in a azure robe, with upright facial features, a jade crown on his head, and a deep gaze with calm composure. He walked

Steady, head up and chest high, extraordinary temperament, the whole beautiful son!

The other man next to him was slightly shorter than the first man, but he still looked like he was in a long brocade robe, and he also had the same facial features

is upright, but the eyes are clear and narrow, and the eyes are not as stable as the previous person, which inevitably gives people a feeling of impetuousness.

Behind the two of them was an old man who looked like a steward, nodding and talking to the man in charge.

Seeing a group of people coming in, the second steward Wei Dashan hurriedly ran over, he first glanced at the man in brocade, and then yes

The man in the azure robe bowed and saluted: "The eldest son! Then he saluted the man in brocade: "Second son!" ”

Fox Xiaomei was suddenly, she said, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and a villain master like Wei Dashan will definitely not be much better

, how can the man at the head be the second son? The man in brocade is more in line with the image of his master.

It's just that Wei Dashan just said that the second prince was back, and he didn't mention the eldest son, but for some reason the eldest son came together.

The old man who followed him was the chief steward. The chief steward glanced at Wei Dashan, and Wei Dashan was busy these days

The situation in the duck farm was reported to the Grand Duke. The eldest prince has been frowning and listening, and he has never asked a word in the middle.

Only then did he ask, "How are the duck feathers?" ”

"Back to the eldest prince, the last batch of duck feathers has been cleaned out yesterday, presumably it can be bagged in these two days, and it will be possible then

I sent it out together. Wei Dashan replied respectfully. Then he added fuel and vinegar to explain how he managed the duck farm

, Hearing this, the eldest prince frowned, and finally the steward Wei interrupted him unhappily: "The eldest prince only asks you duck feathers, you say so much."

Why? What about Sister-in-law Qin? ”

Wei Dashan's heart jumped, Shicai only cared about inviting merit, and forgot to stop Sister-in-law Qin's work, he tried to settle down, this

Only then did someone call Sister-in-law Qin over. Sister-in-law Qin is also a sensible person, she just salutes the two sons, and the rest, including herself

punished, Wei Dashan did not say anything about personal vendettas, which made Wei Dashan feel a little relieved.

The eldest prince went to the farm for only one purpose, and that was to check the duck feathers.

Because yesterday, Sister-in-law Qin had already sent a letter out and reported to the eldest prince about her changing the duck feathers.

Fox Xiaomei was looking down and busy flipping duck feathers, when she suddenly heard someone ask herself overhead: "Why do you flip duck feathers like this?" (To be continued.) )
