Chapter 428: Long and round shape means good days

There are sparkling waves on the river, and ducks are floating on the surface, either standing still, or swimming slowly, or with their buttocks in the air and their heads missing, catching fish underwater to eat.

It seemed like there was no end to the duck eggs on the river beach, and one basket after another was quickly filled.

Baiguo'er, a quick egg picker, said, "The number of duck eggs we can pick up every day is about 800, and at most, we can pick up thousands a day. When the weather gets cooler, there will be fewer eggs."

"But our salted duck eggs and preserved eggs will sell better in winter, but I'm afraid we won't be able to sell enough by then."

"Goose eggs are terrible. They are difficult to sell. If you buy them cheaply, you will lose money. If they are expensive, no one will buy them."

Bai Guoer told her about the shop that her family bought in Fucheng, "The third uncle and the third aunt have already gone. The third uncle is always very efficient in doing things. Maybe he will open it soon. One of the two shops will definitely sell candies."

Yes, one sells groceries, so goose eggs can also be included in the groceries."

"If it doesn't work, just put it at the door and shout, it will definitely sell."

Bai Guoer felt relieved, and then talked about the rabbits again, "There are seven or eight hundred of them, and we can hardly afford to raise them. We have to deal with some during the Chinese New Year."

Bai Fu'er snickered, "Who told me, second sister, that you want to raise everything?"

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

"By the way, if you want duck feathers, I'll leave them for you. Why do you want so much duck feathers? They should be used in all the quilts at home, right?"

"If you have quilts, you can use them as cushions to make the bed warmer. If you have more quilts, you can use them as clothes. It's so cold in winter."

Her second sister didn't have so many ducks at the beginning. It has only grown over the years. Looking at the situation, I don't know how many ducks will die this year. If there are too many duck feathers, try making clothes and a coat. Here

The winter is really too cold.

It's not dry cold, it's the kind of biting cold. After soaking in hot water to warm up your whole body, you go to bed. In the middle of the night, you feel like your whole body is like slivers of ice. You don't dare to move at all. The heat on your body can only warm a very small area. It exceeds the range.

The bed is cold.

It is a luxury to put a hot water bottle in bed. Once I used a cowhide kettle, but it leaked in the middle of the night. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

Bai Guoer looked at her meaningfully, "It's cold in winter, no matter how much you lay out, it will still be cold. If you want to stay warm in winter, there is only one solution."

Baiguoer blinked and waited for her second sister to answer her question. Baiguoer stepped forward and said mysteriously, "Hurry and find me a brother-in-law. This man's body temperature is different from that of a woman. In winter,

The quilt is so warm."

Baiful took a deep breath and said, "I'd better add an extra quilt."

Sad!

The two sisters talked and laughed, and it seemed that it didn't take long to pick up the duck eggs from the river beach. Finally, Caiyun carried the basket and walked around again. Soon she heard her voice of surprise and found two more eggs.

indivual.

The days soon arrived in late autumn, even during the day there was a bit of coolness. After finishing the work in the fields, Baichangfu was busy with the sugar factory. To make white sugar and rock sugar, you need containers such as earthen jars and funnels.

, these things were drawn and sent to the hands of the craftsmen early in the morning, and now they have to be rushed back.

In view of the special circumstances this year, it is necessary to add two direct air stoves. "There is not enough space, otherwise we have 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 used to boil sugar is sugarcane bagasse, but the sugarcane bagasse that has just been juiced has to be dried for two days before it can be put into the stove. Before that, so many stoves burned the fire every day, and the wood needed was a huge pile.

.

Zhang Xianyu, who was busy communicating with various merchants, walked in, "I sent a message to Third Uncle and asked him to bring back a boatload of charcoal when he comes back."

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

Baichangfu nodded, "I've had someone build a shed for stacking sugar cane. According to what you said, we can receive at least tens to millions more kilograms of sugar cane this year."

"I also prepared two more pairs of stone mills, so I have enough manpower."

After Baichangfu finished speaking, he went back to work. Zhang Xianyu also wanted to help mobilize the money for this year's purchase of sugar cane. For so many years, the money has been calculated after payment and has never been in arrears.

In addition, the New Year gifts to be given out during the New Year festival must be planned in advance. You cannot give out candies every year just because they make candies, not to mention there are not so many candies to give out this year.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Bai Fu'er took advantage of the fact that there was still some candy left at home, so she went to make her fruit candies. There are still many pears on the tree, so let's make pear candies first.

After late autumn, it’s early winter. The sugar cane in the fields is already very high. People in the village have to patrol the sugar cane fields every day, for fear that something might go wrong with their own sugar cane. You must know that in previous years, when harvesting sugar cane, it took a lot of effort.

The reason for the quarrel was that the person who liked to take advantage of others touched two large sugar canes.

Faced with Caiyun's inquiry, Baifu'er said: "A large sugar cane weighs several kilograms, and it costs two cents per kilogram, so you should not guard it more tightly."

"It's okay now. I'm just checking to see if there are any problems. When it's ready to be collected, I'll want to live directly in the fields. After all, it's all money."

Caiyun's eyes widened. Baifuer turned her head and saw the winter melon candy in her mouth. He looked her up and down and said, "Caiyun, do you feel that you are a little rounder?"

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

"Only when you are blessed can you be mellow. Many people are living a miserable life these days. They look like a disheveled person and can fall apart if the wind blows. How nice it is to be mellow. It means that my life is going well."

Seeing two red marks under her nose caused by the anger, Baifu'er persuaded her again, "Drink less of that brown sugar water if it's okay. If you get angry, it's okay to drink more on the small days of the month."

Caiyun nodded repeatedly, "I understand. Madam also told me not to drink too much. She also asked me to find some bamboo heart to soak in water to drink. It would make me angry."

"Ma'am, you're doing well."

She never expected that she could live such a good life. There were not many rules in the house, and she was kind to the servants. There were a lot of delicious food, and she could eat whatever she wanted. Unlike other families, the master had to refuse.

I just thought of giving it to my servants as a reward.

While the master and servant were talking, two people came up from a distance and asked them where the Bai family lived. After asking, they found out that they were here to see the water bowl.

Grandma Li hasn't done this for a long time. Little Li is doing it, but she rarely sees it. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have discussed it, and as of this generation, they won't see it anymore, and they won't give it to them anymore.

The next generation.

When Mrs. Li saw the visitor, the man knelt down 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. He said that the youngest son of the family had become very evil recently. At first, he stopped walking normally.

I thought it was an accident and had to accept it as bad luck, but then weird things happened one after another.
