Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11549

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye since I came back from the opening banquet of the "Sanbao Roast Duck Restaurant" in town.

As for the business of 'Sanbao Roast Duck Restaurant', although no one went to Wa City specifically to check on the situation, everyone knew it clearly just by sitting at home.

why?

Because Old Yang would go to Kang Xiaozi and Liu Jinchuan at the entrance of the village every night without fail, asking them to keep an eye on things.

So Kang Xiaozi can bring back the latest news from the roast duck restaurant every day.

"I went there at noon today, and my uncle was baking the second batch."

"I went there today during the afternoon craft season. My uncle said I was lucky enough to meet a big customer and sold five furnaces in one go!"

"It's raining today, so business is a little slow, but one furnace can still be sold without any problems."

"Ah? Is my aunt busy in the store? Of course she is. She can't handle it all by herself, especially in the morning when there are the most people in Washi."

"At noon, my aunt will go back to feed Sanwa, and then bring her and my uncle's lunch to the store to eat together."

"...Master, this is the duck that my aunt asked me to bring to you. It's for you to eat with your wine."

One day, Old Yang went to the fourth room at the entrance of the village to listen to the news shared by Kang Xiaozi and others. Unexpectedly, Kang Xiaozi brought out an oil-paper bag, which contained nearly three pounds of duck.

"Is this... a duck head? Duck neck? Duck paw?"

Old Yang held the heavy, red-oiled, spicy duck in his hands, his eyes shining.

But then the old man closed the oil paper bag and stuffed it back to Kang Xiaozi, saying, "I don't want this. You can take it back tomorrow morning."

"Tell your aunt and aunt to focus on their business and not bring me these foods. They make money from their business. If they give it all to me, what do they earn?"

"Grandpa, my aunt knew you would say that." Kang Xiaozi smiled and stuffed the duck bag back into Old Yang's hand. "My aunt said that some customers don't want these things, so they put together a few unsold duck feet and let you clean up the mess so you don't miss out on making money."

"Even if they don't make money, there's no need to bring it to me. Let them keep it for themselves!" Although Old Yang reached out to take the duck bag again, he kept repeating himself: "I have enough food and drink at home. Tell them not to bring it again. This is just one time. Remember?"

Kang Xiaozi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't worry. Remember, I will definitely pass on the message tomorrow!"

At this point, Old Yang finally felt relieved. Before leaving, he took out a duck neck and stuffed it into Liangliang's mouth, "Want to eat it?"

Liangliang had been watching from the side just now. He licked it curiously and his tongue immediately felt spicy and numb.

The adults nearby all laughed, and Liu Jinchuan quickly picked him up and took him back to the house to give him some candy to coax him.

Kang Xiaozi saw Old Yang out, and Old Yang left contentedly with the duck bag in his arms.

After passing by the door of the third room, Old Yang turned a corner and entered the third room.

There was no one in the main room, but there was a noise coming from the warehouse in the backyard. Old Yang followed the sound and came to the warehouse in the backyard with the duck bag in his arms. The door of the warehouse was open, and Yang Huazhong and Luo Fengtang, the father-in-law and son-in-law, were weighing grains such as rice, wheat flour, sesame, and peanuts in the warehouse.

Sun and Yang Ruoqing lent a hand nearby, and the four of them chatted and laughed, discussing things.

"What are you doing? Are you going to...visit relatives and friends?"

When Old Yang saw this scene, it was obvious that Yang Huazhong was taking out a portion of each of the things in the house, weighing them, and then sealing them and putting them aside.

Sun was in charge of pasting words like "longevity" and "blessing" cut from pieces of red paper onto the hemp bags.

Hearing Old Yang's question, Yang Huazhong took the time to turn his head towards the old man and laughed, "Dad, you're right. We are packing things for the birthday celebration!"

Sun smiled and nodded.

Old Yang watched the two of them busy themselves, sending things out from the warehouse at home lavishly without any mercy.

It was clearly 100 kilograms during the process, but Yang Huazhong would always scoop half a ladle of something into the bag to add some extra weight when sealing it.

"Third brother, hasn't one hundred kilograms been reached? Why do you want to add another half bucket?" Old Yang was confused by Yang Huazhong's action, which he thought was completely superfluous.

So extravagant? How can you still make ends meet? Even if your family owns hundreds of acres of land, even if your son is the top official in Changhuai Prefecture, even if your daughter is a big businessman, even if your son-in-law is a general... you can't be like this!

Also, which relative is celebrating his birthday? Why are they sending so many gifts?

The Yang family racked their brains but couldn't think of which family among the Yang family's relatives and friends would be organizing such an event in the near future... Hey, the fifth room?

The fifth branch seemed to have said that a grand banquet would be held in the county town in the next two days to celebrate the first birthday of the fifth branch’s grandson!

"Third brother, if you send generous gifts to the fifth branch like this, it will make it very difficult for the other branches of our Yang family. Otherwise..."

"Master, what are you talking about? These things are birthday gifts. We are sending them to Old Madam Zuo in Huguang County, not to the younger generation of the fifth house!"

The elders are giving birthday gifts to the younger ones. Oh my God, stop talking about it, it would be bad if it upsets the children!

Yang Huazhong realized that the old man had misunderstood, so he followed Yang Ruoqing's words and said, "Dad, this batch of birthday gifts is to be sent to Huguang County. It will take dozens of miles to travel by horse and carriage, so there will be some loss. So I scooped an extra half bucket to deal with the loss."

It's impossible that the weight at home is exactly 100 kilograms, but when I weigh it at someone's place, it's only 94 or 95 kilograms. What will that look like? Even if the other party understands the loss along the way and doesn't care about it, as the one giving the gift, Yang Huazhong needs to do his best. Only in this way can he feel comfortable and at ease.

When Old Yang heard that the gifts were to be sent to the Zuo family in Huguang County, he said nothing more. He no longer said things like the gifts were too lavish or that life was unbearable.

There are three reasons why Old Yang chose to remain silent.

First: The Zuo family is generous and open-minded, and their financial situation is no less prosperous than that of the third branch.

If the third room gives out such a generous gift, the other party will return more than enough in due time.

Second: Although these birthday gifts seemed to be moved out of the warehouse of the third room, Yang Ruoqing was standing by with an account book, recording the accounts stroke by stroke!

This girl still cares a lot about her mother's family. Her relationship with the Zuo family is mainly between her and Luo Fengtang. When she transferred things from her mother's family's warehouse, she must have been attracted by these local products and specialties.

I believe this girl knows what's going on and has a clear idea in the account book. She will definitely not let her parents suffer any loss. No matter how much is moved away later, this girl will definitely compensate her parents.
