Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 272: Duck Eggs Full of Pens

"They are very good at catching locusts, much better than us."

Chunzhi also said, "Look at the big bulge under their necks. They are swollen and bulging. Haha... We don't need to feed them when we come back."

An Yue turned to Chunzhi and said, "Chunzhi, tomorrow morning, Daniu Ale and I are going to town, so we don't have to drive the ducks to the fields in the morning. Let's drive them together after we come back!"

"Well, okay, miss." After that, everyone went about their own business.

When Ba Shi came back, he ran to his dog bowl to drink water.

Meng Xiuer was already cooking dinner in the kitchen. Chunzhi washed her hands and ran to the kitchen to help.

An Yue began to pack the herbs to be taken to the town to exchange for money tomorrow, while Daniu and A'er were cleaning the yard.

An Nian and Ba Shi were chasing each other in the yard and under the eaves.

Dusk has ended and night is coming.

Soon, dinner was ready and the family sat around the octagonal table to have dinner.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After Chunzhi got up, she quickly prepared breakfast.

After the family had breakfast, An Nian set out for school first.

While Daniu started feeding the pigs, Ale fed the chickens and ducks, and Chunzhi fed the silkworms in the ear room.

Meng Xiu'er was washing dishes in the kitchen, while An Yue was in the side room gesturing at how big a jar to buy.

Ale had just brought the chicken and duck feed to the side of the pen when he suddenly exclaimed, "Miss, Miss, come here quickly!"

An Yue, who was measuring in the ear room, ran out of the ear room and asked hurriedly, "Ale, what happened?"

Ale said nothing, but pointed to the stable and said, "Miss, look!"

An Yue walked over quickly and took a look, and was completely dumbfounded.

The whole pen was filled with duck eggs, and each egg had a large white shell.

Hearing Ale's surprised voice, Chunzhi came over without knowing when.

She saw duck eggs in a pen and said in surprise, "Wow! How can there be so many eggs?"

An Yuexi smiled and said, "It seems that we let them go out to eat locusts yesterday, which is very nutritious."

Locusts are high in protein, calcium, iron, and a variety of trace elements. Ducks lay so many eggs because they eat them.

"Miss, I'll get the dustpan and pick out all the duck eggs."

"Well, go ahead!" An Yue nodded in response.

Then, Chunzhi turned around and went to the eaves to get the dustpan.

She came with a scoop and went to the pen to pick up the trash.

One.

two.

three...

...

After a while, Chunzhi picked up a handful of duck eggs and carried them out of the pen.

Chunzhi came to Anyue with the duck eggs and said happily, "Miss, there are a total of twenty-two duck eggs!"

Meng Xiuer came out of the kitchen, looking at a basket of duck eggs, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, they ate the locusts, which eliminated a major threat to us. They can also lay so many eggs, which is really good!"

An Yue looked at everyone with a smile and said leisurely, "Well, it seems that our family will have endless duck eggs to eat in the future!"

Chunzhi touched the duck eggs in the dustpan curiously, and her eyes couldn't help but shine with golden light.

"Okay, okay, Chunzhi, put these duck eggs away first." After An Yue said to Chunzhi, she turned to Daniu Ale and said, "Daniu Ale, you two should pack up quickly. We will set off to the town now."

"Well, okay, miss." Da Niu took the wooden barrel containing pig feed and put it back to the kitchen.

Ale quickly poured the feed into the pen, then turned around and put the wooden basin back into the kitchen.

The two returned to the house and quickly changed into clean clothes.

An Yue walked in front holding a measuring stick. They each carried a basket of herbs and walked out of the yard quickly.

The three of them walked to the main road and walked towards Shijing Town.

……

The three of them quickly arrived at the town and saw Li Wu's ox cart parked at the entrance of the town from afar.

An Yue thought that she would buy a large jar and it would be too tiring to carry it back, so she would have to ask Li Wu's ox cart to help pull it back.

So, she greeted Li Wu from a distance, "Good morning, Uncle Li."

Li Wu smiled and responded, "Good morning, Yueyue. Why did you go out so late today?"

"I was delayed for a moment due to a lot of chores at home." An Yue said as she approached Li Wu.

After hearing this, Li Wu couldn't help but joked: "Haha, yes! Yueyue is the head of the An family."

"Uncle Li, please stop teasing Yueyue. Yueyue really has no choice."

Li Wu waved his hand and said, "Uncle is not joking, I am telling the truth. Uncle believes that Yueyue is very capable!"

An Yue smiled and asked casually, "Uncle Li, Yueyue wants to buy a few large urns today and would like you to help transport them back to the village. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"

"Yes, yes. If there are people there at that time, I will take them back to the village first. Then I will wait for Yueyue here at noon and not take others with me. How do you think?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Uncle, Yueyue will go to the street first." An Yue nodded obediently.

Li Wu nodded to An Yue, and An Yue walked towards the main street.

At this time, it was already Chen time.

They walked along the main street. An Yue looked around and saw that there were not as many pedestrians on the street as before.

An Yue led Daniu and A'er and soon arrived at the door of Jirentang Pharmacy.

For some reason, there was already a long line in front of the shop early on.

An Yue said to them, "Daniu, Ale, wait for me here. I'll go into the shop and ask around."

"Yes, miss." They both responded at the same time.

An Yue finally squeezed into the shop, and as soon as she entered, she saw Doctor Zhang Jizhong examining people in line.

Doctor Zhang was taking someone's pulse. He didn't say anything, but waved at An Yue, indicating that An Yue should go to him.

An Yue turned around and saw that the pharmacist named Xiao Lu and Mrs. Zhang were busy preparing medicine at the counter.

Mrs. Zhang turned around and saw that it was An Yue. She was surprised and asked, "Yueyue? Why are you here today?"

An Yue hurriedly walked up to her and greeted her with a sweet smile: "Come to the town to buy some daily necessities, my aunt is busy!"

The lady said affectionately while tying up the straw paper wrapped with medicine: "Yes! I have been very busy these days. Yueyue, did you bring any herbs here today?"

An Yue walked to the counter and said, "Yes, Auntie."

The lady smiled happily and said, "Very good, very good. The shop is in need of medicinal materials right now, so Yueyue's visit is just in time."

"Where are the herbs Yueyue sent? Hurry up and carry them to the backyard. Auntie will weigh them for Yueyue."

"Oh, it's outside the shop! Please wait a moment, Yueyue will bring it in right away." After An Yue said this, she walked out of the shop.

An Yue walked to the door of the shop and waved to Daniu Ale and the others to come in.

After the lady had tied up the herbal bags, she called An Yue and Daniu A'er to go with her to the backyard to weigh them.
