Chapter 74: The Duck
After that, Aunt Li came over to bring water celery and small snails to Song Xi, but Song Xi didn't give them to her.
Because Aunt Li has many families, she doesn't have enough points on her side at all.
Besides, Aunt Li has made a lot of money with her during this time, and it can be said that life is better than most people in the village.
She is too generous, what if others treat her as a wronged leader?
"Aunt Li, I gave water celery and small snails to my classmate this morning, and she took them to her relatives to share them, and this is the money they gave you." Song Xi handed the three-dollar gross ticket to Aunt Li.
This proves that the money was made up by several people.
"Xiaoxi, thank you."
Aunt Li took the money with a smile and counted it simply.
After confirming that it was correct, the smile on his face bloomed even brighter.
But after a while, he frowned again, and said with some worry, "Xiaoxi, this water celery is gradually decreasing, what else do your classmates want to eat in our mountains?" ”
Aunt Li is reluctant to lose this good business that makes money.
Because they are in the mountains, they can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, where is the money?
Now Song Xi's classmates want these mountain specialties, which gives her an income and improves their family's living standards.
Although you have money and no tickets, you can't buy any good things, but you can buy some coarse grains to fill your stomach.
"My classmate did mention it before, she said that she wanted to eat mushrooms and wild vegetables, and when the water celery was gone, Aunt Li could go and pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables, and I took it to her to see, if her relatives wanted it, we could go all out to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables, but they had to be sorted and put together, not mixed together."
Song Xi is not very good at recognizing mushrooms.
If Aunt Li is willing to pick it, then she won't have to worry about it in the future.
There is no need to delay time in this regard, as long as you take the money to 'buy' from Aunt Li.
"Okay, I know, I will definitely tidy it up, classify it well, and don't let your classmates find the slightest fault." Aunt Li said seriously.
Mushrooms and wild vegetables can be found everywhere in the countryside.
The reason why people chose to accept her was for Song Xi's sake.
If she doesn't take it seriously, people will definitely find someone else to buy it.
So she has to be the best she can be.
In this way, if you have money to make, it will not affect Song Xi's relationship with her classmates.
"Then it's going to trouble Aunt Li." Song Xi said.
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, Xiaoxi's classmates are good, not only give money but also give old clothes, which relieves a lot of pressure on our family." Aunt Li said gratefully.
She was wearing the old clothes given by Song Xi!
There are no patches at all, no different from new clothes.
The clothes of the people in the mountains are patches and patches.
She went out in clothes without patches, and I don't know how many people cast envious glances!
When asked, she said it was an old dress given by her relatives.
Don't you dare to confess Song Xi, otherwise what will you do if Song Xi is involved?
After getting the letter from Song Xi, Aunt Li was full of enthusiasm and went home with a lot of hope.
Song Xi closed the courtyard door and put things into the supermarket.
Go to the kitchen and put the pig's nitter lotus root soup into a large enamel basin.
After that, stir-fry the rattan vegetables directly in the oil pan of the stew pot soup.
Song Xi is now familiar with the rural earthen stove, and he is also very good at cooking.
After a while, two dishes and one soup were ready.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, come and see, my husband has brought you good things back."
As soon as Zhou Yi entered the door, he shouted excitedly.
He didn't smell the scent wafting from the stove house at all.
Hearing Zhou Yi's slightly anxious voice, Song Xi came out of the toilet and washed his hands at the well before walking towards him, "What kind of good things?" Look at your urgency. ”
"Come into the house."
Zhou Yi reached out and grabbed Song Xi's arm, pulled her into the house, and not only closed the door but also locked it.
Then he took out the sack in the basket and untied the hemp rope tied to the mouth of the bag.
Like offering a treasure, he took out a very beautiful duck from it.
The plumage is brown with tiny black spots, like sparrow feathers, and it looks like a modern breed of hemp duck.
Song Xi couldn't help but reach out and touch the smooth feathers on the top of the duck's head.
Looking at its big round eyes, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the little things are so cute, and the coat color is also very beautiful.
"Daughter-in-law, I still have duck eggs here!"
Zhou Yi took out ten duck eggs from his personal pocket and carefully placed them on the table.
"Brother Yi, this duck shouldn't be a mother duck who is hatching eggs, right?" Song Xileng paused, and then said helplessly, "Brother Yi, you're too bad, aren't you, you served them in one pot?" The mother duck and the baby duck eggs are gone, how anxious should the duck father be? ”
"What then?"
Zhou Yi only cared about finding something delicious for his little daughter-in-law, but he didn't think much about it.
Song Xi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes lit up instantly, "Brother Yi, why don't we raise them, these duck eggs can hatch at least five ducklings, right?" As long as there is a female duck in it, then we can collect more than 100 duck eggs every year! If there are male ducks and female ducks, then at least 20 ducklings can hatch a year, and ......so on, how huge and spectacular the number is! ”
Song Xi couldn't help laughing as he spoke, as if something great had happened.
If the ducks can reproduce, then there will be no ducks to eat in the future.
Sauce plate duck, air-dried duck, cured duck...... And so on, it's all made of hemp ducks.
In addition, the duck is very easy to feed, and small fish, shrimp or small snails can feed them.
"Okay, listen to your daughter-in-law, raise it."
Then Zhou Yi found a round rice basket, put straw and leaves in it, put the duck eggs in it, and also put the hemp duck in it.
However, he trimmed the wings of the duck, because he was afraid that the duck would fly.
Afraid of being known by outsiders, he put the nest of the hemp duck in the utility room.
A lock locks the door of the utility room, even if someone who doesn't have long eyes comes to the house one day and finds that they have quietly raised hemp ducks.
Looking at his daughter-in-law's expectant look, he didn't want to see his daughter-in-law's disappointed eyes.
Song Xi put a bowl of water in the corner of the wall, added a drop of spiritual spring water, and put a small bowl of smashed snails.
This way, the mother duck can eat at any time.
Thinking that it wouldn't be long before he could have a few cute ducklings, Song Xi couldn't help but be happy.
The Song family must have imagined that her life now is a hundred times stronger than when she was in the Song family!
If the Song family knows, it is estimated that the Song family will vomit blood in anger, right?
I hope that the Song family will not come to her without knowing how to lift up, otherwise she will definitely let them walk around without eating.
Locking the door of the utility room again, Song Xi looked up at Zhou Yi, a hint of cunning flashed in his bright eyes, "Brother Yi, hemp ducks generally lay eggs and hatch eggs on the weeds along lakes and rivers, or on the dry land of Puwei Beach, or in the holes near the embankment, or between the forks of big trees and the depressions under fallen trees, so where did this hemp duck Brother Yi catch it?" ”
