My whole family is dancing

Chapter 428 Long and Round Means a Good Day

The surface of the river is sparkling, and the ducks are floating on the surface of the river, either standing still, or cruising slowly, or with their buttocks upside down and their heads missing, catching fish underwater to eat.

The duck eggs on the river beach seemed inexhaustible, and one basket after another was quickly filled.

Bai Guoer, who picked up the eggs quickly, said, "The duck eggs that can be picked up every day are about [-]. At most, it can be thousands of duck eggs a day. When the weather gets colder, there will be fewer."

"However, our salted duck eggs and preserved eggs will sell better in winter, and I'm afraid there won't be enough for them."

"The goose eggs are terrible. It's not easy to sell. If you buy them cheap, you will lose money. If they are expensive, no one will buy them."

Bai Guoer told her about the family bought a shop in Fucheng, "The third uncle and the third aunt have already gone, the third uncle has always been very quick in handling things, maybe they will open soon, one of the two shops must sell sugar Yes, one sells groceries, goose eggs can also be included in groceries."

"If you can't, just put it at the door and yell, it will definitely sell."

So Bai Guoer felt relieved, and then talked about the rabbits, "Seven to eight hundred, I can hardly afford to raise them, and I have to deal with some during the Chinese New Year."

Baifuer snickered, "Who told Second Sister that you want to raise everything?"

Bai Guoer looked up at the river, and sighed faintly, "I used to hate pigs, but now I want to raise them again. Pork is still delicious."

"By the way, I'll save all the duck feathers you want. What do you want so many duck feathers for? You should use duck down for the quilt at home, right?"

"If you have a quilt, you can order some cushions. Make the bed warmer. If you have more, you can make clothes. It's so cold in winter."

Her second sister didn't have so many ducks at the beginning. It took a few years to develop. Looking at the posture, I don't know how many ducks will be killed this year. If there are too many duck feathers, try to make clothes and make a coat. Here The winter is really too cold.

It's not dry and cold, but it's the kind of gloomy cold, soaking in hot water to warm the whole body and going to bed. In the middle of the night, I feel like ice slivers all over my body. I dare not move around. The heat on my body can only warm a small area, beyond the range. The bed was cold.

It is an extravagant hope to put a hot water bottle in bed. Once I used a cowhide water bottle, but it leaked in the middle of the night.

Bai Guoer looked at her meaningfully, "It's cold in winter, no matter how much you shop, there is only one solution to keep it warm."

Bai Fuer blinked her eyes and waited for her second sister to clarify her doubts. Bai Guoer leaned forward and said mysteriously, "Hurry up and find me a brother-in-law. This man's body temperature is different from that of a woman's. Winter The quilt is warm."

Bai Fuer took a deep breath, "I'd better add an extra quilt."

Sad people!

The two sisters chatted and laughed, and it seemed that it didn't take long to pick up the duck eggs on the river beach. Finally, Caiyun carried the basket and went around again, and soon heard her voice of surprise, and found two more duck eggs. indivual.

The days soon came to late autumn, even in the daytime, it was cool. After finishing the work in the field, Bai Changfu was busy with the sugar factory again. To make white sugar and rock sugar, containers such as earthen pots and funnels were needed. Well, these things were painted and sent to the craftsman early in the morning, and now they have to be rushed back.

In view of this year's special situation, it is necessary to add two direct-air stoves, "there is not enough land, or we need to prepare more."

"We also need to buy some firewood. We have to burn our own firewood a few days before starting the fire."

The firewood for boiling sugar is bagasse, but the freshly squeezed bagasse must be air-dried for two days before it can be put into the stove. Before that, there were so many stoves burning fires every day, and the wood needed was a huge pile .

Zhang Xianyu, who was busy communicating with various merchants, came in, "I sent a message to my third uncle, asking him to bring a boat of charcoal when he comes back."

Once the direct wind stove is ignited, it cannot be extinguished. In the past, you always have to get up to add firewood at night. It will be better to have charcoal that can burn for a long time.

Bai Changfu nodded, "I asked someone to build a shed for stacking sugar cane. According to you, this year, at least tens of millions of catties of sugar cane will be received."

"I also prepared two more pairs of stone mills, but the manpower is still enough."

After Bai Changfu finished speaking, he went to work again. Zhang Xianyu also helped mobilize the money for buying sugar cane this year. For so many years, the money was calculated after weighing, and he never defaulted.

In addition, the annual gifts to be given out during the New Year's Day must be planned in advance. You can't give out candy every year just because they make candy, not to mention that there is not so much candy to give out this year.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Bai Fuer went to toss her fruit candy while there was still some candy in the house. There are still many pears on the tree, so let's make pear candy first.

After late autumn and early winter, the sugarcane in the field is already very high. People in the village have to patrol the sugarcane field every day, for fear that something might go wrong with their own sugarcane. You must know that when harvesting sugarcane in previous years, more or less The two quarrels were nothing more than the person who liked to take advantage of the other's two big sugar canes.

Facing Caiyun's inquiry, Bai Fu'er said: "A big sugarcane weighs a few catties, and a catty costs two cents, so you should guard it tighter."

"It's okay now, just to see if there is any problem with the inspection. When it can be collected, I can't wait to live in the field directly. After all, it's all money."

Caiyun's eyes were rounded, Bai Fuer saw the winter melon candy in her mouth when she turned her head, and looked her up and down, "Caiyun, do you feel that you are more round?"

Caiyun held her cheeks and smiled happily, "Really?"

"If you are lucky, you can be mellow. Many people are living a miserable life these days. They look disheveled and fall down when the wind blows. How nice mellowness is, it shows that I am living a good life."

Seeing two red marks under her nose from the anger, Bai Fuer persuaded again, "Drink less of that brown sugar water, it's okay to get angry, you can drink more during the days when you are young every month."

Caiyun nodded again and again, "I see, Madam also told me not to drink too much, and asked me to find Zhu Xin to make water to drink, so I will get angry."

"Madam is all right."

Never thought that she could still live such a good life, the family rules are not strict, the servants are also good, and there are many delicious foods, as long as she wants to eat, she can eat it, unlike other families, the only thing the master doesn't want I just wanted to reward my servants.

The master and the servant were talking, and two people came from a distance to ask them where Baijia lived. After asking, they realized that they came to see the water bowl.

It’s been a long time since Mrs. Li has done watching the water bowl. It’s all done by Mrs. Li. the next generation.

Mrs. Li saw the person who came, and the person knelt down just after saying a few words. He said that he was from Yangjia Village seven or eight miles away, and his husband's surname was Yang. At first, I thought it was an accident and I could only accept it as bad luck, but then weird things happened one after another.
