The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 179 Killing Ducks
Jiang made a table of delicious food, and Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren ate happily.Now that the family is well-off and has all kinds of food, Zhao Daliang no longer goes hunting in the mountains.

Zhao Yunsong is responsible for feeding all the pigs, sheep, and ducks in the family. Zhao Daliang is there to help, and Jiang's concentrates on making soap, while the family affairs are handed over to Huang Yuhua.

Zhao Yuncheng is responsible for studying well. Now that he has accepted the influence of the academy, Zhao Yuncheng has become more stable. Although his homework is not as good as Li Mingzhi, he is much more sensible than his previous self.

The Zhao family can be regarded as united, and everyone wants to work hard to become Zhao Yunlan's strong backing.

"I'm planning to open some flat land in the spring and plant some beans and sweet potatoes, otherwise the cows you bought for dad will have no land to use." After dinner, Zhao Daliang talked to his daughter about the plan for the coming year.

The Zhao family has land, but most of them are mountainous.Most people in Zhaojiagou live by hunting, and there is very little land that can be cultivated by every household. Some trees are mainly planted on the mountain.The family's land is barely enough for the family to eat, and all the taxes paid come from hunting. In a word, they rely on mountains to eat mountains.

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Okay, Dad can decide for himself, just don't go hunting anymore."

Zhao Daliang: "Oh, girl, father knows the seriousness. Father is still waiting to enjoy the blessing!"

Jiang patted Zhao Daliang on the back.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Father, mother, brother, you only keep the breeder ducks in the house, and I will take all the rest away this time."

Zhao Yunsong: "Okay, the ducks in my family are fat and shiny, and they are not sick."

Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, as long as the feathers are fine."

Looking at the appearance of her daughter, Gui Lingjing, Jiang Shi guessed what a good idea this was, and raised her eyebrows to signal Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Mom, just wait to collect the money!"

Seeing that Zhao Yunlan didn't say anything, Mrs. Jiang stopped asking.

Resting overnight at Zhao's house, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren planned to go back.Jiang also knows that the Li family is different now, and her daughter is also busy, so there is no mother-in-law to keep Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunsong not only drove out his own ox cart, but also hired an ox cart from the village. In addition, Zhao Yunlan and his wife came here, a total of three ox carts were full of ducks.

I could only hear the "quack quack quack ~" one after another, which made my brain hurt, but Zhao Yunlan could bear it when she thought that these could be exchanged for money.

Zhao Yunsong and the owner of the bullock cart from the same village followed Zhao Yunlan back to Lijia Village.

Ye Sheng watched the three bullock carts coming home from a distance, and knew that it was the young master and the others who had returned.He hurriedly called his mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia and Chunxiang, to help.Li Mingli and Li Mingzhi rushed out when they heard the sound.A few people took all the ducks to the shed within a short time.

Zhao Yunlan still wanted to keep her elder brother to have a meal with the fellow from Zhaojiagou, but the fellow refused to die, and Zhao Yunsong didn't stay when he saw this.Zhao Yunlan asked sister-in-law Xia to pack some snacks for the two of them and beat the teeth on the road.

Zhao Yunsong was sent away here, and Zhao Yunlan thought about arranging to kill the duck by hand and pluck its feathers.This time, priority was given to hiring villagers. Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingli to talk to the village chief about recruiting workers. Li Mingli rushed out like a small cannonball with a cheerful face.

Zhao Yunlan suddenly realized something, it was too late to catch Li Mingli, so she had to ask Li Mingren to follow him to take a look.

The brothers didn't come back until Mrs. Xia set the meal.

Zhao Yunlan: "Is the matter settled?"

Li Mingli: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about my work, everyone will come tomorrow when they get the news."

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "It's a simple matter, but I want to go to Fucheng earlier, so I want to hire more people, so that everyone can make a profit before the end of the year."

Li Mingren nodded in agreement. They are all from the villagers, and it doesn't hurt to help out within the scope of his ability.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren, seeing that Li Mingren had nothing to say, so she could only hold back her curiosity.

At night, the husband and wife were lying on the bed, and Zhao Yunlan tossed and turned on the bed, hesitant to speak.

Li Mingren was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep peacefully, and asked: "My lady, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Zhao Yunlan pinched Li Mingren's arm: "Didn't I ask you to follow the third brother to see the situation, what did you see?"

Li Mingren: "I saw... the third brother and the village head uncle talking and laughing, um~ the third brother has indeed grown a lot in the past two years!"

Zhao Yunlan rolled her eyes under the quilt angrily: "You didn't see anything else? For example, the village chief's daughter!"

Li Mingren: "Sister Yuqing served a cup of tea, but I see what she is doing, lady, you know that I only have you in my heart~"

Zhao Yunlan: "I know you're a pig. I'm talking about your third brother. You're talking about yourself. Do you have a ghost in your heart to think so?"

Li Mingren: "Ah~" He was speechless for a moment, and he patted himself on the head before thinking: "Lady, I have absolutely no other thoughts, you have to trust me. I'll just say why the third child is so weird at the village chief's house." , it always feels like a competition for performance."

Zhao Yunlan: "Fool, it's time to sleep."

The matter of the third child did not affect the couple's sleep after all.

The next day, Zhao Yunlan was busy recruiting workers, killing ducks, and plucking their feathers.Li Mingli was there to help. The recruiters were not limited to men and women. A total of 40 people were recruited. After all, in addition to the ducks brought back from the Zhao family, there were also ducks from their own mountains.

After all the ducks were killed and the hairs were packed, Zhao Yunlan asked Ye Sheng to send some of the ducks to Fucheng.

Zhao Yunlan continued to take the three brothers from the Li family to wash the duck feathers together, and put them in a pot for fumigation and disinfection.

The remaining duck Zhao Yunlan plans to make smoked duck.Such a plan would have to delay a few more days in the village. Fortunately, the sun has been good these few days. Rows of ducks have been hung in the front yard to dry. If the sun is set in the sun, these ducks can be caught before the year after they are smoked. Go back to Fucheng.

When there were many things at home, it was difficult for Li Mingli to find time to go out, but the girl from the village head's family came to visit Zhao Yunlan.

"Sister-in-law Yunlan, my father asked me to bring you some winter bamboo shoots, and my father also said to thank you for helping the villagers." Li Yuqing said shyly with a basket of winter bamboo shoots on her shoulders.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "This is what we should do. The villagers have helped us a lot in the past. The village chief uncle has really paid too much for our Lijia Village."

Li Mingli was busy working in the front yard, but when he heard Li Yuqing coming, he followed him.

Zhao Yunlan could see that the two of them were interested in each other, so she smiled and politely left Li Yuqing at home for dinner.

Li Yuqing put down the basket and got up quickly: "No, I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first. Sister Yunlan, Mingli, you are busy."

Li Mingli grinned stupidly, thinking of giving Li Yuqing off, Zhao Yunlan saw this and shouted: "Third brother, go and do your work, I'll send Yuqing off."

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: "Ming Li" has been called out, so you have to pay attention.

Li Mingli felt a little bit reluctant, but he also knew how to measure, so he could only watch his sister-in-law send Yuqing out.
