After giving Sun Che Yao the "Life and Death Pill" he wanted, Lin Wanwan suddenly said: "It is said that my senior brother sent me a group of Western Region duck chicks a few days ago?"
Sun Cheyao was confused: "Huh?"
Lin Wanwan turned her head and glanced at him, and he suddenly understood: "Ah, yes, yes, I am about to report to my wife."
"No need to report, I've already met you on the patio." Lin Wanwan stood up, took Sun Chueyao and Kunlun with her from the back door of the main hall to the patio.
Sure enough, there was already a cage of squeaking ducks on the bluestone floor.
Lin Wanwan stretched out her hand and pointed: "You two carried the duck cage to the pen behind the school and put these Western Region ducks in place. From now on, these Western Region duck chicks will be fed by the children."
"Yes, madam."
Yun Shang and others who were busy in the front were a little surprised when they saw the two people carrying a cage of ducklings out through the main hall, but they didn't think much about it. After all, they had been away for nearly a month, and it was normal for them to add some new poultry to the house.
.
The little duck has dark brown down and a black beak. It has a docile temperament and is not prone to stress. It has followed Lin Wanwan through time and space without any abnormal reactions and is still full of energy.
This is the second time Lin Wanwan has brought living animals back to the Tang Dynasty from modern times. The first time she brought a Chinese pastoral dog. I didn’t think much of it when I bought it, but after giving it away, it turned out to be extra smart. Obviously Lin Wanwan went to connotate He Miao,
In the end, the other party was so grateful that it was really hard to express in words.
Behind the kitchen in the school, there is a row of brick buildings. Currently, there are only a few sheep and one donkey of the clan, and there are still several empty pens. Sun Chueyao and Kunlun are busy placing duck chicks here.
At that time, the student on duty who had his turn to feed today looked over curiously.
Lin Wanwan casually told them that these ducklings would be fed by them in the future. During labor class in the afternoon, some of the students on duty would go to herd sheep, and some would go to the beach to herd ducks.
"Master Lin, why are these ducks different from ours?" Gou Sheng, one of the students on duty, asked curiously.
Lin Wanwan smiled and replied: "It's indeed different. These ducks are hatched from duck eggs that Master's senior brother brought back from the Western Regions. They have good egg-laying performance. They can lay more than two hundred eggs a year, and the eggs they lay are smaller than
Ordinary duck eggs are much larger. The eggs are best produced in the first year of raising them, but will drop significantly in the second year. Then they will be killed for you to eat."
"Oh, that's great!" The children screamed happily when they heard that they could kill the ducklings for meat after they were raised. Their eyes turned straight when they looked at the ducklings, as if they had become
I ate each shiny roast duck.
They have been raising several sheep for several months. They are now fat and strong and can be slaughtered for meat at any time. Everyone is actually looking forward to it.
Because when the lambs were brought back, Master Lin said that from now on they would graze the sheep and feed them, and when they were raised, they would be killed for extra meals. Now they are looking forward to it every day!
Master Lin went to Qiantang, and the food in the school was arranged by Sun Cheyao. It was certainly better than the food at home, but it was still much worse than the chicken, duck, and fish that they could often eat when Master Lin was there.
Moreover, after the Lantern Festival this year and school started, the cooks changed from Huanong to ladies from several tribes. The dishes they cooked were either steamed or boiled, and their craftsmanship was far inferior to that of Huanong last year.
.
They are looking forward to Mrs. Lin coming home soon every day.
When Master Lin was here, not only did they have good food, but they would also get extra pastries and fruits from time to time for various reasons such as being clean and studying well!
Of course, even if there are no lunch snacks or big meats in the school, students cannot be picky. As long as they can have a bite to eat, they will be satisfied.
After all, during the holidays at home, they had nothing else to eat except seafood, fish and pickles, which was completely different from the days in school.
Even if the food in the school is not as delicious as last year, it is not something they can see every day at home.
Most of the winter vegetables they grow at home are picked up by the adults and sold to the townspeople. They can't eat them themselves, so it would be nice to have some pickles.
And there are not only fresh vegetables in the school, but also white rice, which is enough to keep you full!
When Mrs. Lin came back today, their lunch meal was improved to a higher level. Each person got a bowl of braised potato beef noodles with several pieces of beef! Everyone drank not even a drop of the soup, which was so happy!
This is the first time for everyone to eat these potatoes. When we received the goods before, all the men and women in the clan helped to go to the fields to harvest, and the yield was very high. The clan leader said that every household will plant potatoes this year.
After a music class in the afternoon, there is a labor class. The students on duty are responsible for cleaning the school and herding sheep and ducks. The other students help the clan with whatever work they can, such as cleaning the village roads and beating pig weeds.
Leymus chinensis, etc., all worked in full swing.
Xiao Qingyu is holding the foal with her left hand, followed by the little elephant on the right, and behind her is Rongrong, who is carrying a kettle and melted beans. She is wandering along the village road in a lively manner, surrounded by a group of children. She is even happier than in Qiantang!
Children in small classes do not need to participate in labor classes. They can go home after music class. However, everyone does not want to go home. They prefer to get together and play, especially playing with little Qingyu.
Because Xiao Qingyu would give them some delicious food from time to time. Who would be willing to leave? The child with snacks is the king.
Lin Wanwan had nothing to do in the afternoon. She was sitting in the study reading a book on subject one. Not long after reading, Hongyan shouted from outside: "Madam, Patriarch Lin is here."
Lin Wanwan put the book away and hid it under the cushion, then stood up and opened the curtain and walked to the main hall, smiling and said: "Uncle Chief, sit down, I will make you a pot of tea. Now I have learned how to make tea."
Chief Lin waved his hand: "Don't be busy. I had tea at home at noon. Don't waste your time. I'm here to tell you what happened in the clan this month."
Lin Wanwan led Patriarch Lin to sit down on the mat. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Mengbo walked in.
Patriarch Lin asked: "Meng Bo, where have you been? I went to your house to look for you just now, but you were not at home."
Lin Mengbo lifted the dried shrimps in his hand and replied: "I dried some dried shrimps at the entrance of the ancestral hall a few days ago, so I just brought them to Wanwan."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "I like to eat dried shrimps. I can't miss it in Qiantang. Thank you cousin."
After greetings, the three of them took their seats and got down to business.
There are three main things to talk about:
The first thing was that the yield of potatoes was so high that everyone was surprised. They will plant them again this year. Lin Wanwan needs to be taught how to breed them.
The second thing is that the delivery of steamed cakes to Xiaoxi Town Restaurant went wrong. Their chef came up with old noodles and now the steamed cakes are not as big as those in Linjiazhuang, but they are almost the same.
The third thing is about spring plowing the land. It is the end of February, which is a good time to plant ramie. People in Dafengzhuang can’t wait to plant cotton together and have already started planting hemp. However, everyone in Lujiazhuang basically agrees to plant cotton together.
