"Ouch, after this flower blooms, will you be able to pick lotus seeds?" Qiao was standing next to Qiao's pond, watching the lotus flowers bloom in July, and said excitedly.

Chen Jiahua on the side was not happy when she heard his words, and slapped Qiao Zheng on the back of the head, "You kid, don't you look at the good scene, what are you thinking!" ”

Chen Jiahua is a woman after all, she likes this kind of pond full of flowers, standing on the edge of the pond, looking at it and celebrating.

"Auntie, the third brother is right, after the flowers fall, you must quickly pick the lotus seeds, don't let the lotus seeds fall into the water", Hua Banxia reminded the Chen family flower road.

Finally, the matter of kissing has passed, and Chen Jiahua is not so strict that she must stay at home, so she followed the family to the pond today.

Because the ducks in the pond are already big, if they don't sell it now, the meat will be old, and it will be difficult to sell the meat when it is old.

The people of Qiaoli Village knew that Qiao Da was going to drive the ducks to the pond today, so they all came to join in the fun. When planting in the spring, everyone followed Qiao Da's family to farm, and now the rice in the field has grown thick and green, and it will bloom in a few days.

Compared with the paddy fields in other villages, the paddy fields in Qiaoli Village are green, and this matter has been praised by the government for a while, which can be envied by people in other villages.

What's more, now that Hua Banxia has been married, the villagers feel that a girl from a building can marry into an official family as a wife, and the head catcher is also close to the Qiao family, so everyone will naturally slowly accept the Qiao family, and they will not be embarrassed to spend Banxia on the surface.

So today, the Qiao family is going to catch ducks, and everyone has never seen many ducks caught at once, anyway, the crops in the field are growing well, and everyone has time to come and take a look.

"You said that this Qiao Da is really thoughtful, planting this big splash, and you can raise ducks in the pond, beautiful, beautiful!" A villager praised Qiao Dadao, he really admired Qiao Da for doing this, killing two birds with one stone.

Another villager who was standing next to him immediately showed a rare and strange expression and discussed it with the people next to him.

"Where, I heard my family Ah Shui say, Qiao Da is not a splash, people call it a lotus, this thing can be eaten!" The villager said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Yo, can you eat this?" Everyone doesn't believe it, isn't this just an ordinary splash?

"You can eat it, you can eat it, Qiao Da is it, it's going to be sold to the restaurant!" Ah Shui continued to share the gossip he had heard from his son.

This Qiao Ashui and Qiao Le are partners of the same age in the village, and the relationship between a few and a half children is good, so they like to play with people of the same age as themselves, and Qiao Le also inadvertently revealed this matter.

But Hua Banxia doesn't care, anyway, this year's digging lotus root will make a move, and everyone will know, if she can, she also hopes that there will be more people in the village to plant lotus, and it is not bad to have the opportunity to make a scenic spot.

"Really, this thing can still be sold for money?" Everyone is moved, Qiao and everyone have not succeeded once or twice, if they can work with Qiao and everyone, then they can also be rich?

"Yes, I'm thinking about it, let's see if I can let Qiao Da take me to do it", Ah Shui's father has already moved this thought, but Qiao's family hasn't been busy recently, and he hasn't had a chance.

As soon as Ah Shui Dad said this, everyone was also restless, "Hey, I want to do it too, help me talk about it."

Everyone talked for a while, and they had to sign up with Ah Shui's father or something. The place where they stood was bustling for a while, attracting people from other places to come over to see the bustle.

"Cousin, what are they doing here", Qiao Yi held a long bamboo pole, ready to help catch the ducks for a while. But it's so noisy now, how can you catch the ducks?

Hua Banxia shook her head, the pond was so big, they were far away, and she didn't hear what they were talking about.

However, we can't let them continue to make trouble like this, otherwise the ducks won't be harvested today, "Uncle, why don't you go and take a look."

Recently, several elders of Qiao's family have a good relationship with the people in the village, and Qiao Da can still say a few words if she comes forward, if she spends half a summer, I don't know if they will think that she is going to make trouble again.

Qiao Da nodded, put down the bamboo pole in his hand, put on his shoes again and walked towards the lively side.

Because the ducks will flutter when they are big, they are woven with hemp rope on the edge of the pond, and they are blocked by bamboo stakes. I don't know what Qiao Da told them, the atmosphere seems to be pretty good, everyone is talking and laughing.

The poem is really well written, looking at the large blooming lotus flowers in front of you, Hua Banxia really has a feeling of "receiving the lotus leaves infinitely green", the blue sky in the distance, the breeze blows away the heat of the sun, very comfortable.

It's just that Hua Banxia always feels that such a beautiful scenery is really sorry for this lotus pond when they look at it.

"Dad, mother......" Qiao Zheng ran all the way in the distance, shouting Qiao Da and them in his mouth.

Qiao Zheng was supposed to wait at home for the people from the restaurant to come to collect the ducks, so he didn't come with him this morning, why did he see him coming alone now, but he didn't see the people from the restaurant.

"Oh no, mother, where is my father?" Qiao Zheng was in a panic and wanted to talk to Qiao and a few people.

After Hua Banxia got married, the Qiao family unanimously decided to let her get married well, and the family affairs would not block her, so Qiao Zhengcai did not directly look for Hua Banxia today.

The restaurant in Qiao Zheng's mouth is a pleasant building in the city, and it is one of the top ten restaurants in the southern city, and the business is not bad. Because of the fame of "Tanhua Express", it was still very smooth when I spent half a summer to talk about business, but what happened now?

"What's going on? Your dad is over there", Qiao Zheng's panicked appearance made several people worried.

Qiao Da seemed to have finished talking at this time, and walked towards them with a smile on his face, and the villagers behind him were also smiling.

Walking in and seeing Qiao Zheng and a few people looking anxious, Qiao ran over, "What's wrong?" Why do you all have a bitter face! ”

Qiao Zheng saw Qiao Da running over, took his arm and said, "Dad, it's not good, someone came to the restaurant just now, and he said that he didn't want our ducks."

"What!" When several people heard this, they all put down the bamboo poles in their hands and surrounded them.

"The people who came from the restaurant said that their friends from the owner had already offered them ducks, and our family didn't want them."

"Ah, this ......", since they are friends of the owner, the restaurant will definitely give priority to them, what will the Qiao family do to fight with others. But the duck can't be delayed, and if it continues to be raised, it will be old.

Qiao Da and Qiao Er suddenly panicked, and Qiao Da complained even more, "What is this, I just promised everyone to take everyone to raise ducks in the second half of the year, and now our ducks can't be sold, how can I explain to everyone."

It turned out that the warm atmosphere just now was that the villagers begged Qiao Da to take them to make a fortune, Qiao Da looked at the fat and tender ducks raised in the pond, and felt that it was not too difficult, so he agreed. Well, how can I explain this?

"What? Big brother, you, you just told someone about this? "What do Qiao Er think is the matter, those people are really willing to let them take it?

Qiao Da patted his leg anxiously and regretfully, "Yes, look at this matter, what should I do", just told someone that he wanted to take everyone to raise ducks, and when he turned his face, he said that he couldn't raise it, what is it called.

There are a lot of ducks in Nancheng, and it was not because ducks were a rare thing to suggest that Qiao Da raise ducks in the first half of the summer, but because he didn't want to waste the resources in the pond, if there were no buyers now, it would be a loss.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll go to the city and ask now", Hua Banxia always felt that things shouldn't be so bad, but he still had to go to the city to figure it out.

When I first went to talk about business, because the ducks didn't come out of the pond, Hua Banxia didn't sign any contract with Yirenlou, just a verbal promise, which was difficult to do.

"Cousin, I'll go with you", Qiao Yu caught up with Hua Banxia, who had already taken a step, and the two had often gone to the city together before.

After watching the two of them leave, Qiao Da didn't know what to do now, if he didn't catch ducks today, everyone would see what clues.

"It's okay, Dad, my cousin won't have a problem going out, let's still go into the water today and see how big the loaches in the pond are", Qiao Zheng comforted Qiao Dao.

"This ...... can be done, but now everyone is here because of duck hunting, how can I tell them." Qiao Da's dead brain couldn't turn around for a while, and he couldn't think of any good way to explain it to others.

"Dad, you just go and tell your uncle and uncle, let's just come to see the situation today, and we will really catch ducks in two days", Qiao Zheng has confidence in Hua Banxia, and he will definitely be able to catch ducks in two days.

Hua Banxia and Qiao Yu rode their bicycles all the way to Yirenlou, and happened to meet Qiao Zheng's friend who was delivering ducks, and two ducks stopped at the side door of the restaurant, quacking.

"It's not as good as our ducks", Qiao Yu took a look, the ducks in the car were dirty, their eyes were blank, and they didn't even call loudly.

Hua Banxia also thinks that their ducks are better, their family does not seem to lack food, but there is a lack of activity, and the meat quality is definitely not good.

And the ducks in Qiao's pond swim around in the lotus water all day long, the sun is sufficient, they hide under the lotus leaves when it is hot, and when they are thirsty and hungry, they look for food in the water by themselves, and they live very comfortably. In this way, the ducks are beautiful and delicious.

"Let's go and see it first", take a half-summer to go in and see the situation.

As soon as they entered the backyard, the kitchen workers had already begun to kill the ducks, and the duck blood was spilled all over the ground. Seeing this, Hua Banxia felt that they should have no hope, everyone had killed their ducks, so why do you want your ducks.

When the shopkeeper of Yirenlou saw Hua Banxia come in, he immediately showed an embarrassed smile on his face, "Flower girl, you are here."

"White shopkeeper, I heard that a batch of ducks have entered the building, and now it seems that it is true", Hua Banxia smiled faintly, without questioning or blaming.

The white shopkeeper nodded uncomfortably, he knew that the building was not trustworthy, but the owner had already ordered it, and now the duck was killed, and he couldn't do it.
