Sister Han is good at farming

Everyone turned the sesame seeds in their hands into silver or food, and gradually felt relieved. But everyone felt more and more upset when they saw the ducks losing weight every day. Understanding is one thing, but watching the ducks lose weight is also very painful.

But the family of Ruan Qingqing was the most pained. Other families had to raise a few ducks, at most 20 or 30, but they had a full 200 ducks.

Before, I could still comfort myself, eating a few ducks at home is nothing, just save money to buy meat, and good health is more important than anything else in a disaster year. Ruan Qingqing also made it in different ways, but roast duck wastes salt, oil and grain. Let's put it this way, a person who can usually finish two bowls of rice, as long as there is roast duck on the table, this meal will definitely finish three or even four bowls of rice.

Wang was so heartbroken that she rolled her eyes at them every day, "A bunch of lousy people who don't know how hard it is to be the head of a family!"

Ruan Wantie even asked Ruan Qingqing directly, "Daya, you know a lot. Is there any way to sell these old ducks? We don't have to sell all of them, just sell more than a hundred. Otherwise, if we all want to eat a duck, your mother's face will be as long as a donkey's."

"Or we can go ask our second uncle, he has a wide network of contacts, and see if there is anyone willing to take us in." Ruan Qingqing couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, the only thing she could think of was to follow the path of her second uncle Ruan Wanyin.

"Okay! Let's go ask your second uncle." Ruan Wantie really had no other ideas.

"Dad, just watch over there. I'll kill a duck and cook a dish of duck meat for you. It's better for us to bring a dish with us than to go looking for help empty-handed."

Ruan Wantie immediately understood, "Don't worry, I'll keep watch for you!"

"Sister, please kill one more duck and I will keep watch for you." Ruan Shian also said when he heard the news.

She originally planned to kill one duck, but ended up killing three ducks. By the time she finished, it was almost time for dinner.

After Wang came back, she stood in the yard and smelled the rich aroma coming from the kitchen. What else was there to not understand?

"Daya, why are you killing ducks to eat again!"

"Mom, I plan to bring some duck meat to the old house. I want my second uncle to help us think of a way to sell our ducks."

"Really?" Wang looked at Ruan Qingqing suspiciously.

"How could this be false? Mom, the meal is ready. You guys eat first. Dad and I will go to the old house." Ruan Qingqing said as she put the roasted duck meat into the simple food boxes they had woven themselves.

"Sister, sister, please leave some for us!" Ruan Shiping kept begging.

"Don't worry! Yes, I killed three ducks, enough to eat!"

"We've killed three ducks, and you still say you don't want to eat them." Wang muttered to herself as she looked at Ruan Qingqing's back.

"Mom, please serve the meal soon! I'm starving!" Ruan Shiping kept complaining about his hunger.

"Hungry, hungry!" The two little ones were also shouting that they were hungry.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Wang may grumble, but it's already been made, it would be a shame if we don't eat it or it goes bad.

Ruan Qingqing had already guessed that Wang would be upset, so she made more. But she also brought a lot to the old house. The food box she was carrying was not tight, so the fragrance basically wafted along as she walked.

"Qingqing, what are you holding in your hands?" Some people couldn't stand the smell and ran out to ask.

"Roast duck, let my grandparents have a taste."

"Hey, how did you make this duck meat? It smells so good."

"It's just a matter of taking a little more time to stew it a little longer." Ruan Qingqing laughed it off.

When they arrived at the old house, the people there were setting up the dishes.

"Grandma, uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, get ready for dinner!"

"Old Four, Qingqing, what are you doing?"

Old Master Ruan had no idea what Ruan Qingqing was going to do.

"We're killing a duck at home today, so I made some extra and brought it to you to try." Ruan Qingqing raised the simple food box in her hand to show Grandpa Ruan.

"Qingqing! Thanks to you, everyone will have a great meal today!" Ruan Wanxi was the first to speak.

"It smells really good!" Ruan Wanjin and others also laughed.

"Old Four, Qingqing, why don't you sit down and eat together!" said Mr. Ruan.

"Hey, Grandpa, then I won't be polite to you." Ruan Qingqing responded readily.

"Third sister, come here, let me help you put the food box on the table." Ruan Shimeng jumped in front of Ruan Qingqing to help.

"Thank you, Fifth Brother!" Ruan Qingqing handed him the lunch box without hesitation.

Just then, three of Liu's sisters-in-law came over from the kitchen carrying dishes. "What's going on? So noisy?"

"It was my third sister who brought the duck meat." Ruan Shixing explained with a faint smile.

After greeting each other, everyone sat down and prepared to eat.

The old house couldn't accommodate so many people at one table, so they were divided into two tables: one for the adults and one for the children. Ruan Qingqing sat at the same table as the adults because she was a guest.

At the dinner table, everyone praised the duck meat brought by Ruan Qingqing.

"Uncle, what do you think of the duck meat here compared to the one cooked in the restaurant you work for?" Ruan Qingqing asked Ruan Wanyin directly.

Ruan Wanyin put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "It has a unique flavor. What's especially rare is that it's not greasy, smooth but not woody, and the aroma is more overbearing than the ones in restaurants. Why, Qingqing wants to sell duck meat?"

Ruan Qingqing shook her head and said, "I was wondering if the county's restaurants would be able to eat everyone's ducks if I added my recipe for cooking duck meat."

Ruan Wanyin immediately understood what Ruan Qingqing meant. "In Qingshui County, let alone in this drought year, we can't even eat all the ducks in the county even in normal times."

Mr. Ruan also said, "Old Four! We also know that Mr. Zhou hasn't come back this year, so everyone is putting the burden on you. Don't be too anxious, we will slowly find a way. It must have cost a lot to buy everyone's sesame this time, right?"

Ruan Wantie smiled bitterly, "We have used up a lot of the gold awarded by the emperor. There is nothing we can do about it. I have to keep everyone stable before Lord Zhou comes back. Most importantly, we were the ones who came up with the idea of ​​growing sesame and raising ducks. I am afraid that after Lord Zhou comes back, the problem will be thrown on our heads again."

Ruan Wanxi looked at Ruan Wantie in surprise and said, "Fourth brother, it turned out that the method you came up with to successfully eradicate the locusts in Qingshui County this time was invented by me, fourth brother?"

Ruan Wantie didn't say much, just smiled.

"Fourth brother, you are amazing! You have transformed yourself into a leader, not only have you entered the officialdom before us, but you have also made such great achievements!"

"Fifth brother, stop teasing me. I'm in a mess now and don't know how to clean up this mess." Ruan Wantie said helplessly.

"It's nothing. If you hadn't found a solution, we would all be fleeing the famine by now. Nothing in this world is perfect," Old Master Ruan comforted.

"That's right! Old Four, don't take everything on your own shoulders. The elders in the village all say that everyone has been saved by God time and time again. This was something we never dared to think about before! You have done very well!" Ruan Wanjin also comforted.

After the meal, although Ruan Wantie felt a lot of comfort, he still had no idea where to take the duck.

Ruan Qingqing was also very frustrated. Not to mention the tens of thousands of ducks in the entire county, they didn't even know where the two hundred ducks in their family were.

Just as the father and daughter were walking home dejectedly, a voice called out to them.

"Uncle Ruan, Miss Ruan, my father invites you to come to his house for a visit."
