It was just dawn.

Boss Zhu arrived in Qingliu Village.

He didn't bother to say hello to his mother who was working. When he arrived, he threw down the shoulder pole and started to help load the white duck with the truck.

After loading up one car after another of the ducks that had already been bald and fur, Boss Zhu ordered the number and shouted: "Aunt Luo, from Sanche County, from the restaurant in the town, and from Xiaoxitun at the landlord's house, are there any? A total of 75 white ducks and 120 salted duck eggs, is it right?"

Mrs. Luo immediately pushed away the man who was discussing the matter in front of him, and rushed towards Boss Zhu, asking him to be careful when transporting, put two more layers of straw, and never break the duck eggs. He reached into the waist of his pants and pulled out a small broken notebook.

The young man deliberately joked and said, "Emma, ​​Auntie, we young men are still here. Can you pay attention to your image? You are the biological mother of the future juren."

These days, the duck farm and the boys who helped transport goods have become very familiar with each other, and they basically come every day.

It doesn't mean anything else to say that joke, I'll be happy all day long.

Hearing this, Mrs. Luo spitted out a few mouthfuls while raising her thumbs up, and opened the small-broken notebook to look at the order quantity, while laughing and cursing: "A bunch of boys with no hair, I don't blame you for just staring at my old woman's waist. Why, my old woman is not a woman."

He laughed and made a few jokes before Mrs. Luo tapped the basket of ducks on the trolley and waved his hand and said, "You guys, let's go first, remember the address, don't forget to hand over the money and deliver the goods in the other hand. It's not okay if you don't give money."

"I've remembered it. Huaidou is holding a note, but I can't find a mouth under my nose to ask."

"Don't worry, Aunt Luo, if we don't give you money, how can we explain to you when we look back?"

I pay more taxes this year, and everyone lives a hard life.

After Zhu Xingde and the others left, there was no mule cart to transport goods on behalf of others. Mrs. Luo began to hire some good friends with her, often flattering her and saying sweet words. She also enjoyed it. She knew the children of other people's children, or boys who were in trouble at home, and the village was in a good position to be the ones who were in trouble and couldn't eat enough. The village was in charge of these people and asked them to write a guarantee to her that because the payment involved, she would help her transport goods with a cart and give her a trip.

She didn't bother with the trouble. When she returned from the trip, she would order the money to run errands, and she would make every effort to get it.

This is also considered a rare kindness of Mrs. Luo, who never suppresses the bill. Let the boys make money quickly and give it to their mothers to buy more grain before the winter begins. Buy one pound more. If you wait after the winter comes, after the autumn harvest is hot, no one will be willing to sell it if you want to buy it.

However, to be honest, the money that Mrs. Luo gave was not much money for running errands, and the kids earned purely hard money.

There is no way to do this. Sometimes there are not many orders in the city restaurants. There are only ten or fifteen white ducks that are ordered several times. It is not difficult enough. Mrs. Luo has to calculate the cost.

Just like this, she can have a regular repeat customer. First, she has to thank her duck for being really thick and more fragrant than other people’s duck meat. Second, she has to thank Zuo Jiajiu.

The Zuo family will help her sell ducks when selling wine.

For example, before Zhu Xingde left, he helped her sell five large orders, all of which were ordered by big customers who had bought wine in the Fucheng area.

Even though there are many salted duck eggs in the two wine shops in Zuojiafucheng and county towns. There are signs selling ducks outside. Outside the gate, there is a large pot of magnolia mixed with magnolia, which is braised with duck wings, duck hearts, duck necks, etc., trying to seduce people who buy wine with the fragrance, and buy some duck goods to drink.

It's a good wine shop, just to help her sell ducks, it's already made a bad deal.

So, who doesn’t want to be a kind person? But everyone has their own difficulties.

Even if the Luo family doesn't give much, many kids are happy to do it.

After all, using a trolley is nothing more than a little effort. They don’t have to feed mules rations. They can get ready-made money after running back and forth, which is better than staying at home. They don’t have much ability.

The capable laborers are either not afraid of death and go to the mountains to hunt. Once they go, they don’t come back for many days. They may not be able to hunt valuable prey when they come back. Or they climb high trees to hunt hazelnuts and pine nuts.

Yes, pine nuts are born with a long life and have no capital. The thing is so oily that you can sell it for a lot of money by putting it in a bag.

But the tree is extremely high and dangerous. Those who can't climb high trees should not try it. Just two days ago, the son of the fortune teller fell down the tree and heard that he had vomited blood on the spot. In the past half month, in addition to those who vomited blood, he also broke his legs.

So they are content.

The first person who placed the order set off first, and the second group of people began to command.

The second group of people are hawkers. She first pushed away a few live ducks with a cart, and then picked them to the city to sell them. She decided to sell one and gave them a little higher commission, but there was no errand fee.

At this time, Shui Sheng's father was putting the duck on the scale, after weighing it, he tied his legs and feet and threw it into the basket.

"Is your car OK? There's enough."

"Brother, it's too much effort to get a few more."

"This?" Shui Sheng's father didn't dare to make decisions and turned his head to look at Luo Pozi.

Mrs. Luo found that she had stopped and was so anxious that she was so anxious that she would be a big deal if she didn't set off. The people behind her were also waiting in line.

After coming over to ask what was going on, she frowned and said, "Uncle, don't be greedy for making money."

He looked at everyone again and said:

"If you don't target his uncle, everyone is here. I will repeat it again. It's not that I'm reluctant to give you more, so how is that possible? I wish you could sell 100 pieces a day. I'll close the duck farm and lock the door and go to see our grandsons immediately. I'm even more anxious to takeout than you.

But if I am a live duck who is pushed away by you and I don’t sell it after a day, will it be depressed when I come back? I will die again and I will bear the loss.

Besides, you have to work hard, right?

Wait, when the weather is cold, I can directly provide you with the white duck. If you want to take more credit, you can get a few more. We live in the same village, but not the same village, but we are all familiar with each other. I still have this trust in you."

It was not that Luo's mother was stingy. The example happened that she gave. She pulled her back and died. Then she had no orders to sell it as a white duck. The dead duck could not be saved for two days, so Mrs. Luo could only send it to her in-laws' house to get more supplements after eating it. Especially Zuo Xiaodao and Zuo Xiaodou, they ate more, and the child's milk could be enough.

Although I was open-minded, I felt distressed. Death one means losing one's capital, which led to this scene.

In the village, Luo Junxi should call out the man who is uncle in terms of seniority, and quickly waved his hand and explained:

"No, sister-in-law, I don't mean that. I went to the farm of my daughter's in-laws last time to sell ducks. I heard that three families in her farm have to do weddings these days. I thought to bring more, what if I can sell it."

"Ah, that's the case, then, Shuisheng's father, please install more than four more, and I'll record the account here."

Look, as long as you ship goods out, you will have a lot of trivial matters.

Basically, before dawn, Luo's mother had to get up and be busy with everything, and there was nothing she didn't need to worry about.

At this time, the third batch of shipments are organized and disciplined.

The leader is Zhu Xingchang, with a large number of people.

Zhu Xingchang and others either used a shoulder pole to load ducks or pushed them with a trolley. They had to hike to the county. There was a carriage left in the Zuojia wine shop in the county, which was arranged by Zhu Xingde before leaving.

Although before leaving, a certain amount of wine was left for the shops in Fucheng and the county, just in case of receiving a large order from a private order, a car was placed there to deliver messages.

When Zhu Xingchang and his friends arrived in the county, they would use the remaining carriage to carry ducks to Lin County, and carry shoulder poles around the streets and alleys to sell.

Although Zhu Xingchang later joined the Luo family duck selling brigade, he helped his second and third brothers move in before, and he didn't even care about making money. But because he took the lead in controlling it, for example, when he went to the county to organize a rest in the backyard of the wine shop, and to charge money for selling goods, Mrs. Luo was extremely relieved.

"Boss, be careful on the road and beware of some thieves. Now there is chaos outside."

Aunt Zhu beat her waist and rolled her eyes. Now that Mrs. Luo often robs her of lines, she can only add: "Did you bring a kitchen knife?"

"Take it." Zhu Xingchang slowly disappeared into the fog in the morning.

To mention this, we have to say that Zhu Xingde had been kind to others before. He did offend people when he was in charge of the county magistrate, but he also handed over many people. He had all kinds of people and was famous. This made it possible for the boys who stayed behind to watch the city gate to see the face of Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan, even if Brother Tidezi said, he would give the former Captain Zhu some face and never search for weapons. It would be very convenient for people who travel in the Han Village to travel, and carry a life-saving guy on them.

When it comes to weapons, I can only bring a kitchen knife and a hoe, because many people's iron rakes and other things were taken away by the wine transport team.

"Count how many there are." After all the people left, Mrs. Luo showed a sad face.

Shui Sheng's father said: "There are hundreds more."

"Oh my god, what's wrong with this?"

Aunt Zhu reminded: "Don't leave your god for now. You won't be worried about ducks at the moment. At worst, you can continue to feed them. When it's cold, as you said, you'll kill them all and get frozen. You won't be so anxious to sell them. You can take a look at the duck eggs first."

"How many duck eggs are laid today?"

"I'm so old, I'm almost counting it."

Mrs. Luo covered her forehead and sighed: "Peel it first, marinate it all. When the oil is rising, you can sell it."

It is also possible that her son and Zhu Xingde will be back.

So there is something she didn't say in her heart. She actually didn't expect the cold to get cold at all. It means that her son, daughter-in-law and the relatives who transport wine will suffer even more outside.

...

At the same time, Zuo’s new home is here.

Zuo Xiaodao and Zuo Xiaodou are more anxious than Luo Pozi.

Luo's mother was forced to do a lot of work, and they were looking for work on their own, so they could only distract themselves from being busy.

Zuo Xiaodao's arms were about to be swollen, and there were six large pots placed beside her feet.

Cut the beans into shreds and dry them, and keep them for cooking in winter. Slice the eggplant and wilt them to make a dry eggplant that is resistant to dry.

Her second sister Xiaodou is moving big stones. After pickling a jar of sauerkraut, she needs to press the big stones on the newly pickled sauerkraut to let the new vegetables sink. In this way, a few more sauerkraut can be added in a few days without wasting the space in the jar.

"Let me go down quickly, I'll be with you."

"No, sister, let's put the radish piled in front of and behind the house into the cellar later, so that my mother and dad will not be able to do it." Her dad couldn't do it like a mountain, climbing a ladder while carrying half a bag of radish into the cellar. He didn't have the strength on his legs and shoulders, so he could only go back and forth a few. In Xiaodou's opinion, it was like them, why wait for dad to come back to work?

Besides, today my mother and grandmother went to the old house, and my father went to make firewood piles. These people may not be able to go home after finishing their work. They also have to go to the farm to check it out. There are no ducks at home now, and they have twenty big geese and forty chickens.

Xiaodao asked the girl: "Okay, let's not wait for dad, let's do it. Is your cellar door open?"

In a deep cellar, if the door is not opened for a while in advance, people will easily suffocate when they climb a ladder and go down into the cellar.

"It's already open. When I finish pickling a tank of sauerkraut, we'll move the carrots."

In fact, there are not only these jobs for the two sisters. There are still several large pots of duck feathers in the courtyard of the mountain and Xiaodou family next to them.

Lao Luo has too many ducks at home, and he can leave a pile of duck feathers every day.

The duck feathers are soaked in hot wood ash water. Soapy water is better, but the dirt and despicable thing is reluctant to use soap. Use wood ash water to wash off the grease and dirt on the duck feathers, and then rinse them with clean water after washing. The more particular ones are put into the pot and steam them, and then they will taste even less. However, the waste firewood is only rinsed a few times, and the fluffy is packed into the bag.

At first, I found that this thing was warm, but before Zhu Xingde and the others left, Luo Pozi piled up duck feathers and piled them on the temporary resting kang in the duck house. Anyway, he couldn't bear to throw away anything when he came to her. At that time, there was no need to burn the kang, and the kang was quite cold. She was so tired that she accidentally rolled onto the pile of duck feathers she had saved. When she woke up, she found it was quite warm, so she told everyone.

Zhu Xingde immediately decided to let the washing without any scent, and then put some masks, knee pads, and neck covers for going out.
