"Patriarch, thank you for helping me out of the siege today."

After the two of them left, Yun Xiaoshuang thanked Yun Juncheng.

"It doesn't matter." Yun Juncheng waved his hand, "After all, what Yun Zhang's family lost is also the face of the Yun family, so naturally I can't sit idly by." ”

If Yun Juncheng hadn't come forward just now, I'm afraid that the Yun Zhang clan would have to make a big fuss here again, which inevitably made Yun Xiaoshuang feel more and more that it was the right decision to win over Yun Juncheng in the first place.

"Thank you very much anyway."

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Yun Xiaoshuang quietly stuffed a purse under Yun Juncheng's sleeve, and inside was the fifty taels of silver she had promised Yun Juncheng before.

Yun Juncheng was stunned for a moment, and then accepted it quietly.

After solving Yun Zhang's trouble, everything went smoothly, and out of fear of Yun Juncheng, it was inevitable that Yun Zhang's would naturally not come to Yun Xiaoshuang's trouble again in the next period of time, which made her worry a lot.

On the second day after the end of Shangliang Day, the batch of ceramic utensils that Yun Xiaoshuang had customized in the city before were also ready, and as soon as they were delivered, Yun Xiaoshuang sent someone to send things to the new house.

"Be careful, they're all made of ceramic."

Yun Xiaoshuang led the workers to carefully send the equipment to the new house, for fear that something would bump into it on the way, after all, if something went wrong with this batch of equipment, it was estimated that it would have to wait for another month or two.

"Xiaoshuang, what are these things for?"

Aunt Zhao couldn't help but feel a little curious when she watched the workers coming in and out, staring intently at those chic objects.

"Second aunt, these things are very useful."

Yun Xiaoshuang smiled, she couldn't explain the use of these things for a while, and when the new house was built, she could directly install these things, and then she would naturally teach the Zhao family how to use these appliances.

Thinking that she would never have to endure the filthy latrine in the future, Yun Xiaoshuang felt beautiful in her heart.

After the workers finished moving the utensils, Yun Xiaoshuang gathered them all in the open space outside the house, and at the same time asked Second Aunt Zhao and Zhao Hong to bring them the mung bean soup that had been prepared for them.

"You have worked hard during this time, and when the house is built, I will definitely send a big red envelope to each of you!"

Yun Xiaoshuang has never treated the people under her hands badly, not to mention that if it weren't for the workers working day and night during this time, the progress of the construction of this new house would not be so fast.

"Miss Xiaoshuang doesn't have to be so polite, these are what we should do, and besides, the salary you give is already 10% more than that outside, so you don't have to ......"

"Since I said it, I will definitely give it."

Yun Xiaoshuang interrupted Brother Sun's words, she knew in her heart that most of the reason why the workers worked so hard was because of him, and her tone suddenly softened a lot.

"Brother Sun, if it weren't for your group of brothers during this time, I'm afraid the progress of this house wouldn't have been so fast."

"Besides, it's not just you, my sister-in-law has also helped our family a lot, so don't shirk anymore."

Seeing that Yun Xiaoshuang's attitude was so tough, Brother Sun naturally didn't want to shirk anymore, so he agreed for his brothers.

After all, no one will have trouble with money, but because of this, he is a little more grateful to Yun Xiaoshuang.

With Brother Sun and Second Uncle Zhao in the new house, Yun Xiaoshuang naturally didn't need to worry about it, and after transporting the utensils, she took Zhao Hong and prepared to go home.

Perhaps it's late autumn, and the reeds next to the marshland have turned golden, which is quite appropriate for this season.

Yun Xiaoshuang would pass by this swamp every time she came to the new house, and she didn't think there was anything special about it, but this time when she and Zhao Hong passed by, they heard a rustling sound from the reeds.

"Sister-in-law, did you hear ......?"

"Shh

Yun Xiaoshuang made a silent gesture towards Zhao Hong, and suddenly deflected and walked towards the reeds.

But before she could reach the middle of the reeds, a mallard duck covered with gray-brown fur flew out of it, and fluttered its wings and flew around Yun Xiaoshuang twice.

It wasn't until the duck flew away that the two came to their senses.

"It's the first time I've seen a flying duck......

"It's a mallard."

The ducks that came to the mouth flew away, and Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Ducks are supposed to fly, but most of them have forgotten their instinct to fly because they are bred all year round, while wild ducks live in the wild all year round and can fly naturally."

Wild ducks are also a kind of migratory birds, and they will migrate south every winter, but the boundary of Yungou Village does not belong to the south, so Yun Xiaoshuang was also a little surprised that it would appear here.

But she seemed to suddenly think of something, and plunged into the reeds with an excited face, and sure enough, there were several wild duck eggs hidden in the reeds inside.

Yun Xiaoshuang has been worrying about what new dishes to cook these days, but these duck eggs have inspired her.

Compared with eggs, duck eggs are larger and have a more fishy taste, so even though duck eggs are common, people in Yungou Village rarely use them to make food.

However, this made Yun Xiaoshuang suddenly remember her favorite dish in modern times, that is, preserved eggs.

When picking up the wild duck eggs, Yun Xiaoshuang also specially asked Zhao Hong to bring a bundle of reeds, and when he got home, he put the reeds into the stove and burned them to ashes, and Yun Xiaoshuang took advantage of the time to dig a basket of loess in the ground.

"Sister-in-law, what are you digging for?"

Zhao Hong was puzzled and looked at Yun Xiaoshuang with a puzzled expression.

"It's useful."

Then Yun Xiaoshuang mixed the ashes of the reeds with the loess and the rice husks left over from the previous autumn harvest, and then put some tea, salt and cooking wine into it, and finally added water and black mud.

Zhao Hong was confused when she watched from the side, although she didn't know what Yun Xiaoshuang wanted to do, she still obediently helped her start.

Next, Yun Xiaoshuang put the washed duck eggs into the prepared black mud, so that the surface of the duck eggs was evenly coated with a layer of black mud, and then put them into the remaining grass ash and rolled it around, so that all the preparations were completed.

"It's done!"

It was the first time for Zhao Hong to see such a strange way, and when she heard Yun Xiaoshuang say this, she was immediately excited, and her eyes fell directly on the duck egg wrapped in black mud.

But curiosity is curiosity, but can this thing really be eaten?

Seeing that the duck eggs were as black as briquette eggs, Zhao Hong really felt a little difficult to swallow.

"How are you going to eat this?"

"I can't eat it yet." Yun Xiaoshuang smiled, "At least we have to wait another month." ”

"So long?"

Although Zhao Hong didn't really want to eat this thing, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard Yun Xiaoshuang say that he would have to wait for a month.

Then Yun Xiaoshuang carefully put the "small briquettes" into the basin in turn, covered them with gauze, and then covered them tightly with hemp rope before they were completely sealed.

Yun Xiaoshuang found a damp corner in the kitchen and put the pot with duck eggs away, and then only had to wait for a month.

The weather is getting colder, the trees are rapidly withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the villagers of Yungou Village have changed into thick clothes early.

During this time, Yun Xiaoshuang except for occasionally going to the new house to see the progress of the construction, is to go into the mountains to dig herbs, after all, when the heavy snow covers the mountains in winter, there will be no herbs to dig at that time.

"Xiaoshuang, are you going to enter the mountain again today?"

Second Aunt Zhao couldn't help but ask more when she saw Yun Xiaoshuang carrying a small bamboo basket and preparing to go out, she hadn't seen Yun Xiaoshuang rest during this time, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Why don't you go today, you've dug up enough herbs before."

"It's okay second aunt." Yun Xiaoshuang smiled, "At this time, if you don't wait until it snows, you really can't go." ”

Although she had already dug up a lot of herbs some time ago, it was not enough if she really wanted to start making medicinal food, and she had to start preparing for next year early.

"It rained last night, and the road on the mountain was slippery." Zhao Mocheng pushed the wheelchair out of the house, "Even if you are going to grow herbs, those before are enough." ”

Yun Xiaoshuang digs herbs not only to make medicinal food, but also to prepare for planting herbs, which Zhao Mocheng has always been very aware of.

"Instead of running into the mountains every day, you should pay more attention to the suitable land for growing herbs."

Zhao Mocheng's words suddenly woke up Yun Xiaoshuang, she had been busy stockpiling herbs during this time, but she forgot that the growth environment of herbs was extremely harsh.

If you don't choose a suitable planting place in advance now, then all the medicinal materials you have worked so hard to collect during this time will probably be in vain.

After Zhao Mocheng reminded Yun Xiaoshuang that he decided not to enter the mountain anymore, but went directly to the county seat to find Jia Zheng.

The cultivation of herbs is extremely demanding for the growth environment, from the soil quality to the influence of temperature and humidity all play a crucial role in the growth of herbs.

Therefore, even the experienced Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel a little headache after hearing these requests made by Yun Xiaoshuang.

But even if you feel a headache, there will be no reason to let the business come to the door and not do it.

"Miss Xiaoshuang, don't worry, I will definitely help you pay more attention to the eligible land." Jia Zheng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I will notify you as soon as I have a suitable one." ”

Yun Xiaoshuang also knew that it was not easy to find a planting place that met her conditions, so she immediately took out a silver ingot and put it on the table.

"And so there is Mr. Lauja."

"Miss Xiaoshuang is polite."

Jia Hui hurriedly put the silver in his pocket, his face was full of joy, "I will definitely do what you gave me." ”

After coming out of Jia Hui's place, Yun Xiaoshuang went to the market to take a stroll, and happened to meet someone in the market who was shouting and selling sausages.

"Take a look, a good sausage made with good pork......

"Don't miss the ...... as you pass by"
