Chapter 201: The Usefulness of Duck Feathers

Even the Xu family is no exception. Although the jacket that Xu made for Ning Qianci had chicken feathers in it.

But the feathers were already clean when they were in their hands.

Ning Yan couldn't help it, so he pulled the duck feathers stained with and walked to the river under the disgusted gaze of everyone.

The river is already frozen.

It's a bit difficult to get the water out.

Even if the ice cubes were broken, Ning Yan would not dare to pour the duck feathers into the water, and the water would have to be eaten next year.

If you really pour in the duck feathers, you don't have to mix them in the village.

With a shovel, a large pit was dug by the river.

It was snowing, and the ground was covered with snow, and the snow had not yet melted and frozen, so the soil on the ground was still soft.

It's not as laborious to dig up as you might think.

Ning Yan also had a lot of strength, and after a while, he dug a big pit in the ground, and as soon as he dug the big pit, he saw Ning Qianci, who was wearing the same as a ball.

"Why are you here?"

"Helping you." Ning Qianci's gaze swept over the duck feathers in the car.

Ning Qianci was naturally disgusted by the smell of duck feathers, but the clothes on his body were made of duck feathers, and he didn't have any dislike stance.

After staying at home for a while, I felt a little unhappy.

On such a cold day, let a woman come out and work.

If he really looked at it so coldly, he really lived to the belly of a dog for more than ten years.

After thinking about it, he walked out.

Glancing at the big hole in the ground, he asked, "What can I do?" ”

"Bring two barrels from home."

"Huh." Ning Qian replied, turned around and walked home.

It's a good thing that someone helps, although he doesn't look down on Ning Qianci's soft and weak appearance, but Ning Yan is still satisfied with Ning Qianci's thoughts.

My heart is also warm.

I moved a big rock from the river, found a place where the ice was weak, and threw it down.

The ice cracked on the surface of the river.

At this moment, Ning Qianci also walked over with a bucket.

Ning Yan took the wooden bucket from Ning Qianci's hand and began to pour buckets of water into the big pit outside.

Ning Qianci couldn't see that Ning Yan was so tired, so he took the initiative to help.

Two people can lift water much faster together.

But it's still not enough.

After more than a dozen round-trips, Ning Qian quit and stopped.

The water is cold, and you have to be careful when carrying the bucket, because if you are not careful, your clothes will get wet.

In the winter, it doesn't feel good to get your clothes soaked.

Ning Qianci put the bucket in his hand, glanced at Ning Yan and said, "The amount of labor for two people is a bit large. ”

"Then forget it." Ning Yan also gave up.

She didn't feel tired, just troublesome.

I went back and forth several times, but I couldn't see the change in the water level in the pit.

It would be nice if there was pumping equipment.

Ning Yan shook his head, there is not even a water wheel at this time, and he still wants to get pumping equipment, which is another big project.

She still shouldn't embarrass herself.

However, although it is not possible to get the pumping equipment, it is possible to use a pipe to pour water from the river to the large pit.

After saying a word to Ning Qian, Ning Yan carried an axe and chopped a piece of bamboo.

Connect the bamboos together, put one end in the river and the other end in a large pit, first fill the bamboo pipe with water, and then quickly put it in the river when it is full.

Due to the water pressure, water gushes out of the bamboo pipe on this side of the pit.

Ning Qianci stood aside and looked at the water in the big pit......

"Can this be?"

"Not really." Ning Yan nodded proudly.

Ning Qianci fell into deep thought, this bamboo pipe seemed to be very useful.

Is it possible to do the same when watering the ground in the summer?

Ning Yan didn't have time to pay attention to the thoughts in Ning Qianci's mind, so he quickly poured the duck feathers from the car into the puddle and stirred them with a piece of bamboo.

Wash the duck feathers, it's getting late.

Ning Yan walked home with duck feathers.

Put the duck feathers in a sealed bag and dry them in the yard.

One day the water on the duck feathers turned into ice cubes, and after a few days, the ice cubes on the duck feathers were gone.

Ning Yan untied the sack, dug out the duck feathers inside, put on honey locust powder and washed it again in a wooden basin.

Dried again, the duck feathers smell of honey locusts.

Ning Yan was satisfied.

Recover the sun-dried duck feathers.

used duck feathers to make a duck feather cushion for Ning Youyu, and made a set of clothes for Ning Qianci.

There are still quite a few duck feathers left.

Ning Yan was pondering how to use the duck feathers.

Wu Youniang came back from the county seat.

There were a lot of things in his hand, but they were all not available in the village.

Satin, cloth and some rare seeds.

Ning Yan looked at the sunflower seeds in the small bag, and his eyes lit up.

Sunflower seeds can be fried melon seeds, or oil can be squeezed, and eating lard all day long, Ning Yan has long been tired of it.

But at this time, Ning Yan has not seen this thing in the corn.

Corn oil is no need to think about it.

Peanut oil, peanuts as dried fruits, raw are very expensive, who will use peanuts to squeeze oil.

If you want to eat peanut oil, you have to wait for the peanut production to come up.

Sunflower seeds are different, one long is a plate, and the yield is much higher than that of peanuts.

Instead of expecting an increase in peanut yields, it is better to plant sunflowers sooner.

Ning Yan put away the sunflower seeds.

Pour out the washed duck feathers: "Aren't you afraid of the cold?" There's a lot of duck feathers saved here, and you can make yourself a set of clothes. ”

"Big lady, you are so nice."

A good person card was sent to Ning Yan, and Wu Youniang began to make clothes with duck feathers.

She herself was wearing a jacket, but there were only two sets of clothes, and she couldn't wash them.

One set has not been washed and has not dried, and the other set is dirty.

When you go out to do business, you can't wear dirty clothes, Wu Youniang is worried, and Ning Yan provided a lot of duck feathers.

made clothes and put them on his body, and when he walked out, Xu's eyes lit up.

Staring at the clothes on Wu Youniang's body, Xu Shi looked at Ning Yan.

He asked, "Duck feathers, are there any more?" ”

"Yes, Zhou Dahai has a lot of homes, and he wants to wash it by himself." Ning Yan himself intended to let people know the role of duck feathers, and when Xu asked, Ning Yan naturally would not hide it.

You have to wash it yourself!

Xu had a struggle in his eyes.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and pushed the row cart in the yard and walked to Zhou Dahai's house.

walked outside Zhou Dahai's house and listened to the commotion inside.

Xu knocked on the door.

No one came.

Xu can only push the door and walk in by himself, and the villagers can push the door and walk in as long as the door is not locked from the inside.

The people in the village don't care about anything.

Walking into the courtyard, Xu found that Zhou Dahai's family had a smile on their faces.

Could it be that there is something to be happy about?

Xu walked up to Zhou Dahai's mother-in-law and asked, "Your little bolt said that your daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law?" How can you be so happy. ”

The smile on Zhou Dahai's daughter-in-law's face disappeared instantly.

I'm happy today because the duck eggs in the cupboard at home have actually hatched ducklings.

was originally happy, as soon as Xu talked about Xiao Shu's marriage, thinking of his good life, sensible and filial, and very diligent, he felt a little uncomfortable.

is a good son, how can he be blinded by Wu Mei.
