Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11550

The last reason is that even if the Zuo family will not return the favor with a generous gift, and even if Qing'er does not make up for the loss, the village suffered from a flood during the first month of the year last time, and the guy from the Zuo family brought a dozen boats and twenty servants and came from afar to help with the disaster relief. For this favor of saving the people, he deserves the reward.

Old Yang even wanted to put the duck in his arms in the gift as well, to add to the gift...

Just joking, these bites of food are not worthy of being served in a formal dinner.

"Grandpa, are you coming over from the fourth room? Did my aunt bring you some delicious food today?" Yang Ruoqing twitched her nose and asked Old Yang with a smile.

In fact, she had smelled the spicy and fresh aroma of duck ever since the old man stepped into the warehouse.

Yang Ruoqing's question also attracted the attention of Yang Huazhong and others to Old Yang's arms.

"Ha, it looks quite big, almost three kilograms," said Yang Huazhong.

Old Yang looked at the duck in his arms with a smile, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'll ask Kang to tell Mei'er and the others that if you do this again next time, I really don't want it. How can a businessman make money if his fingers are so loose?"

Yang Huazhong said: "This is also a token of their appreciation. Just accept it. They don't need to worry about this little bit of duck for their business."

Yang Ruoqing also nodded secretly. Nowadays, the diet is a little different from that of later generations.

In later times, things like duck heads and duck necks were sold separately, and many national chain brand stores were famous for selling duck heads and duck necks.

Many gourmets don’t even like to eat duck meat. They just like to gnaw on the dry duck head and the duck neck which has little meat and is full of lymph nodes.

The reason is that material conditions are too abundant and the variety of food choices is dizzying.

In ancient times, 80% of the people would prefer greasy duck skin and duck meat!

It is not only delicious, but also filling and can provide a lot of energy for the body.

As for duck heads and duck necks, they are often not very pleasing to the eye and they take up a lot of weight.

So some customers will bargain with the boss when buying ducks, asking whether the head and neck can be chopped off, as they don't want to pay the extra money for that part.

Some bosses would not agree and would only sell the whole thing, but obviously, Yang Huamei and Xu Yuanming broke the convention and were willing to take a step back to achieve small profits but quick turnover.

So, there appeared this big bag of ducks in Old Yang's arms.

"Master, this thing is good to eat with wine, please don't despise it." Yang Ruoqing said again.

Old Yang deliberately frowned, "What are you talking about! These ducks are fine, I'm just worried that your aunt and the others will lose money!"

"Don't worry, sir. They might be able to make a lot of money from this!"

Old Yang nodded, "Then I'm relieved. By the way, I'll have dinner in the third room tonight. Go and call your grandfather and your old grandfather Jiang over later, and ask your mother to help heat up the duck. We old men will eat duck with our wine."

"Mom, are you free at night?" Yang Ruoqing looked at Sun.

What the old man said was simple, just asking for help to heat up the duck. But if he really called the other two men over to drink together, wouldn't Sun have to cook a few more dishes?

Sun nodded with a smile: "When you have time, you can post the remaining red words here. I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. There are still some pieces of dried bean curd that Qing'er sent me before. I'll stir-fry the bacon left over from the Chinese New Year with the dried bean curd and heat up the duck. It's also simple." Old Yang instructed Sun: "Just make two dishes, the simpler the better. Your father from your mother's family and your uncle Jiang are not outsiders!"

"Don't worry, Dad. I can save it. I'll go get busy now."

"Okay, okay, come on, I'll give you the duck first, and I'll come and help Lao San and the others."

Old Yang rolled up his sleeves and went forward without saying anything, joining Yang Huazhong and Luo Fengtang's team, and began to help scoop things and weigh them...

"Qing'er, when are you leaving for Huguang County? It won't conflict with the fifth house's one-year-old birthday party, right?" Old Yang asked while working.

The fifth branch has already confirmed that the wedding banquet will be held in the county town the day after tomorrow. In the past two days, Dabao and Jiang Guiling have been contacting the carriage and horse company in the county town to arrange a car to go back to the village to pick up relatives and friends.

Although the Luo family, the third branch, and the second branch all had horse-drawn carriages, especially the Luo family which had a fleet of mule carts, but this time the fifth branch had decided to hold the banquet in a restaurant in the county town and therefore did not plan to use the family's horse-drawn carriages.

Yang Ruoqing knew that Jiang Guiling and Dabao were doing this to show their sincerity, but, considering that the Luo family included Yang Ruoqing, at least five people had to go, namely 'Wang Cuilian, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, Shaoyao, and Ping'an', plus Yang Ruoqing, which would make six.

Luo Fengtang and Luo Baobao also went this time.

Wang Hongquan is still to be confirmed. The fifth branch has extended a cordial invitation, and the family also hopes that the old man can go out for a walk when the weather is warm. Even if he can't drink, he can drink something else. The main purpose is to take blacksmith Luo out to relax. He has turned down every banquet invitation for several months.

So with this calculation, a separate carriage would have to be prepared just for the Luo family to travel.

Besides, there were other reasons why the Fifth House travelled with its own carriage.

Because the day after they finished their first birthday banquet, they would set out from Wanghai County and head directly to Huguang County.

Yang Ruoqing sent a message to Dabao and Jiang Guiling, asking them not to book the Luo family's carriage when booking a carriage at the carriage company. The Luo family would use their own two-horse carriage when traveling. Dabao and Jiang Guiling could just focus on preparing transportation for other families!

"Don't worry, sir. There will be no conflict. After finishing the fifth room's banquet, we can leave for Huguang County." Yang Ruoqing said.

Old Madam Zuo’s real birthday is on the fourth day of April next month.

But the old lady felt that April was not a good month, so for an ordinary birthday, she would just keep a low profile and add two dishes on the day.

But this year is different. The old lady is 58 years old. According to the calculation method in Huguang County, her age is 60.

So Zuo Junmo discussed with the old lady and decided to schedule the birthday party on March 30th.

The fifth house's one-year-old banquet will be on March 26th.

So exactly the day after the one-year-old birthday banquet, the Luo family continued to head to Huguang County. After arriving in Huguang County, they took a short rest and just caught up with Old Lady Zuo’s birthday banquet the next day.

"You have arranged everything here!" said Old Yang.

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "Indeed! It can be described as non-stop."

"What about your parents? Are they going?" Old Yang asked again.

Yang Ruoqing then looked at Yang Huazhong, with a hint of regret in her tone, "I did persuade them to go together, but they were worried about this and that at home and couldn't leave."

"Dad, how about we go to Huguang County to have some fun together? My cousin will take care of the farm work at home, and as for the vegetable garden and chickens and ducks, can you ask my aunt to take care of them?"
