Chapter 90 Courageous
"Uncle, why don't people like to eat duck meat? Is it as bad as you say?"
Aren’t beer duck, ginger duck, roast duck and Peking duck all local specialties?! There are so many other cold duck dishes, but this is her favorite.
"Ducks have a fishy smell, especially the fat on the body. Almost no one likes to eat them. Even we don't eat them when we drink. Even the eggs they lay are not as fragrant as chicken eggs."
Zhou Laosan said this with a look of disgust on his face, but he did not dislike the little duck on his back. This was his family's duck, how could he dislike it? It was his baby and he hadn't had time to take care of it yet.
Zhou Mingshu bit his finger and thought, isn't this a business opportunity? If the duck is cooked well, it will surely become a big business.
"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder everyone likes to raise chickens. How much does a duck sell for on the street? Is it more expensive than a chicken?"
"Silly girl, of course it's not as expensive as a chicken. Compared with chickens and ducks of the same weight, chickens are 20% to 30% more expensive than ducks."
Zhou Mingshu thought secretly, if that was the case, she would try to kill two of the ducks at home to change the taste for everyone.
"Then when the little ducks come home, uncle will be busy again. He has to build a duck pen for the ducks."
Thinking of Zhou Lao Da working hard to build the chicken and duck coops, Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San both laughed. Life at home was getting better and better.
As soon as they got home, Zhou Mingqi came towards them, hugged Zhou Mingshu and whispered in her ear.
"Sana, the soap you gave me is really useful. It's so useful that it even cleaned my menstrual pad."
Zhou Mingshu smiled. She knew the soap would surprise them.
"As long as it's useful, we'll have endless soap in the future, and washing clothes won't be so tiring. I picked up a lot of good stuff today, come and see."
As the two backpacks landed on the ground, everyone was first attracted by the baskets of ducks.
After shaking its head for more than an hour, the little duck finally landed on the ground, and the sound of "quack quack" could be heard continuously.
Even the people cooking in the kitchen were attracted. Old Mrs. Zhou held the spatula and looked at the little yellow duck in front of her, her eyes full of stars.
"Hurry up and take the ducks out. They are almost crowded to death. One by one, they are standing with their hands on their hips like masters."
Zhou Laoer then took the ducks out and put them into the chicken coop. The frightened ducks were prone to incontinence, and the basket, the ground, and even Zhou Laoer's hands were all filled with the ducks' doings.
Zhou Mingshu counted them and found there were twelve. They were very cute with their milk-yellow color. Now, the family had chickens and ducks, except for a donkey.
You said if she picked up a donkey from the mountains, would the people in the Zhou family believe it?
"Sisters, please stop looking at the ducks and look at my backpack. I picked out a lot of beautiful vases. They will look so pretty in the room."
Zhou Mingshu opened the backpack and laid out the porcelain bottles and jars inside. Most of the porcelains did not have obvious flaws, and everyone was amazed by their appearance at first glance.
"It's really beautiful, but Sanya, why did you buy it? We don't need to buy such a nice vase for flower arrangement. Grandma will beat you if she finds out." Zhou Mingqi was a little worried.
"Don't worry, they won't, because these are free. Look at this and this one, don't they have some small cracks? For the porcelain shop, these are defective products. If they can't sell them, they won't want them. I picked these up."
Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi touched the beautiful porcelain vase in front of them and were so shocked that they were speechless.
"This... such a beautiful thing, they just say they don't want it... and then they just give it up?!"
"Yes, there are still many. If I only have two hands, I might be able to bring back more. Don't just stand there, pick a few you like and take them home to plant flowers. The rest will be left to me."
Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi each took a green flower-mouthed vase back to put flowers in, and placed one on each table, which was quite symmetrical.
There was also a warm white willow leaf vase, which was noble and elegant, and very suitable for Feng's temperament, so Zhou Mingshu left it to his aunt.
There were some slight bumps on the bottom of the two small square plates, but they were fine for placing small dishes on them. There were also a few small teacups and tea bowls, which were all put into the kitchen.
Zhou Mingshu gave another small teapot to Boss Zhou, who was very happy as he now had such a rare thing.
"Uncle, this pot lid is gone. I didn't find a suitable one today. When I have a chance, I will go to the porcelain shop and find you a similar pot lid to complete your set."
"Okay, okay, okay~" Boss Zhou said three okays in a row and wiped the small teapot back and forth with his clothes.
"It doesn't matter if there's no lid. If there is a lid, the tea won't cool down easily, haha."
Finally, is there a porcelain jar left? It's not really a jar, strictly speaking it's a brush washer, in the shape of petals, all sky blue, with lotus painted on the outside and two fish painted on the inside. Overall it's a fine product, the only flaw is that the brush washer was cracked.
However, this gap did not affect Zhou Mingshu's fish farming. When she saw the brush wash, the idea of raising fish came to her mind.
This brush washer is just the right size, perfect for raising a few small fish and some lotus flowers.
She picked up the fish tank and went back to the house, where she saw two large basins of ointment on the table. It looked like the ointment had been filtered and was just sitting there.
After wrung out the cloth, she wiped the fish tank inside and out twice, filled it with water and placed it on the table.
Looking at it this way, the desktop is already very beautiful. I wonder how much more beautiful it will be with the little lotus.
Dinner was already on the table. Zhou Mingshu used the excuse of going to the toilet to put some "Wen Yiqing" in the sink of the chicken coop to prevent chicken and duck diseases.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. You're the only one who hasn't sat at the table yet." Zhu came over and shouted.
"I'm coming." Zhou Mingshu ran back, washed his hands and sat at the table.
There are still five dishes and one soup on the table, including the mushroom soup, scrambled eggs with black fungus, cold-mixed purslane, water celery fried with lard, stir-fried mung bean sprouts, and stir-fried wild vegetables.
The vegetables were shiny and greasy, and it was obvious that lard was added to them. Just looking at them made people's appetites grow. Zhou Mingshu first drank two sips of mushroom soup to whet his appetite, and then started eating with the steamed bun.
"Grandma, I went to the porcelain shop today and ordered a thousand mugwort porcelain bottles. From now on, we just need to focus on making mugwort anti-itching ointment. The remaining porcelain bottles at home are just right for this time, and we can keep the extra ones for our own use."
"Hey, did the shopkeeper agree to the order when you went to place the order? Didn't he ask for the deposit?" Old Mrs. Zhou was chewing her food. She didn't expect that her granddaughter was so brave that she dared to go alone.
"Of course I agreed. Otherwise, how could I have brought back so many porcelains? The shopkeeper was even happy to take me to visit their kiln."
When Zhou Mingshu described the spectacular scene of the kiln opening, everyone became envious again, as they had never seen such a grand scene.
