"Mom said she wanted to slaughter these three sheep." Erya said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Ah? There is such a good thing?" Guangdan was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high.

"What a good news! Maybe we can give birth to a lamb next year!" Erya shouted in a low voice with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"What do you know? This kind of wild goat is not only difficult to fatten, but also difficult to tame. Look at this female goat. Has it gained weight after being raised for so long? If you really want to raise goats, I'll catch a few for you in the spring."

Erya never expected her mother to say that. She was choked and didn't know how to react.

"Second sister, that's it! Slaughter it in the twelfth lunar month! We'll roast the lamb and eat it!!!" Guangdan was glad that he had brought cumin back from the provincial capital!

Thinking of the fat grilled lamb chops and legs, Guangdan felt like his mouth was watering.

After Fang Cuihua left, Erya touched her head and asked in confusion: "Guangdan, don't you find it strange?"

"Ah? What's strange?" Guangdan asked in the same confusion.

"Don't you think mother has become more generous? In the past, she would definitely not be willing to slaughter the sheep!" Erya vowed.

Guangdan clapped his hands unnaturally and began to change the subject: "It's cold now, so chickens, ducks and geese won't lay eggs, right?"

"That's right!" Erya frowned when she mentioned this.

"Leave some for Granny Wu to make medicinal food, and sell the rest?" Guangdan only then remembered what he had said before about asking his second uncle to add braised duck to his stall.

There are ready-made marinades, and you just need to make slight changes to them. This is much simpler than roasting duck, after all, roasting duck still requires an oven.

"In a few days, let's catch a few ducks and take them to the county town to sell them to my second uncle!" With that, the brother and sister began to inspect their army of poultry.

After strolling around, Arya asked happily, "When are we going to settle the bill?"

They had agreed at the beginning that they would share the money at the end of the year! Now the money from selling eggs usually goes to Erya, and she has a small savings now, although this savings is not all hers.

"Wait until the twelfth lunar month? Then get rid of some of the ducks and geese." Guangdan pondered.

"Next spring, I plan to let the old hen hatch chicks by herself. Then I'll put the duck eggs, goose eggs and chicken eggs together and hatch a nest of them!" Arya said as she danced with joy.

Guangdan raised his eyebrows and asked with some amusement: "Second sister, I see you seem to like tinkering with these things?"

"Don't you think they are cute?" Arya asked, blinking her big eyes. She really thinks the chicks, ducklings and geese are cute!

"No matter how cute it is, it will be eaten by us in the end!" Guangdan said slowly.

Then, Erya responded without changing her expression: "They are meant to be eaten by people!"

Oh, so no matter how cute they are, they will be eaten in the end! No conflict! No conflict at all!

We strolled from the sheep pen to the chicken, duck and goose pen, and finally to the pig pen. This year, there were two big fat pigs at home during the Spring Festival. Erya made the greatest contribution, followed by Xiaogu Taohua, and then Gouwei, Guangdan and Goudan.

Guangdan looked at the fat black pig with a gleam in his eyes. He sipped his saliva and said, "In fact, we can keep one pig and slaughter it at the end of the year. We can kill the other one now and make it into bacon. We can also send some to Second Uncle to make braised meat."

Erya rolled her eyes and knew with her toes that Guangdan was just greedy and used her second uncle's braised meat stall as an excuse.

But this is not impossible, right? It is definitely more appropriate to sell the braised meat at home than to sell it to the butcher in town!

Besides, the weather is so cold now, and the meat will not go bad in a short time. Thinking of this, Erya was also tempted.

But the little girl quickly calmed down, coughed lightly and said: "This matter is not something we can decide, right? You have to talk to your parents."

Guangdan looked at his second sister's meaningful look and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Okay, I'll send some ducks and some pork over in a few days!! Perfect!" After snapping his fingers happily, Guangdan walked away leisurely.

After returning to the study, I took out my little account book and used my free time to calculate the expenses I had spent on poultry this year.

Although he did initially think that raising poultry could make money and improve his family's diet, he no longer expects to make money from it.

At the end of the year, the accounts will still be divided as agreed. After all, the rules cannot be broken, but he plans to divide his earnings privately and save them as dowries for his second sister, younger sister-in-law, and Xiao Ya.

Well, that's right. Guangdan felt that he might have no hope of getting married in this life. After all, he felt that with the arrival of puberty again, he would be somewhat psychologically distorted by then, but he still had to make good preparations for the girls in his family.

Nowadays, for a girl to get married, a strong family background and a generous dowry are both essential. If she has both, her life will not be too bad unless she is too stupid.

In this way, Guangdan just looked around the house and did some odd things until he received the medicinal diet recipe from Grandma Wu.

Mrs. Wu is literate, which is not too surprising for Guangdan, because most people who understand medicine and pharmacology are literate. This shows that Mrs. Wu’s former master must have been a wealthy family.

Only the maids around the mistresses of wealthy families could be literate.

Although Mrs. Wu has reduced the cost of medicinal food, it still costs money. After all, medicinal food is prepared for rich people.

Guangdan took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote down the herbs he needed to buy. Then he nodded with satisfaction. Next he had to go to the town to attend the market!

He really hasn't been to the market in town for a long time. After the market, he will stop by his eldest sister's house and bring his eldest sister back to see Mrs. Wu!

Thinking of this, he happily went to find Fang Cuihua. He still had to tell his mother about going out. As a result, as soon as he walked out of the study, he saw Lin Daniu on the roof opposite.

"Dad, be careful!" Guangdan looked at his old father trembling in the wind and couldn't help but remind him.

"Damn it! You little brat! I'd be fine if you didn't make any noise!" Lin Daniu stood on the roof and glared at Guangdan unhappily.

Guangdan: Oh, I showed my concern at the wrong time. I almost scared my dad so much that he fell off the roof.

Lin Daniu even wondered if this guy did it on purpose. He was standing firmly on the roof, and was frightened by the boy's roar.

"Dad, can you do it alone? Why don't you come down first? It will take a while for us to get on the roof. Go back and ask your uncle to come over. It's not safe for you to be alone."

Guangdan said this and felt that he was really too sensible!

Every year after the snow falls in autumn and winter, farmers will frequently repair the roofs. This thatched roof cannot withstand heavy snow, and Lin Daniu was worried, so he went up to the roof to take a look.

"Your father knows what's going on!" Lin Daniu waved his hand, feeling that his son was really troublesome.

You still need someone else to do this? It would cost a meal, wouldn't it? This guy is a spendthrift and doesn't know how to live! !

I don’t know who he looks like!
