Chapter 458 Roast Duck Failure
Chapter 458 Roast Duck Failure
That evening, Gu Qingqing distributed the handkerchiefs, hairbands, and pearl flowers that Wen Wuyan brought back.
The pearl flowers were given to Wen Xin, Sheng Xi and Geng Xiangli. They were a little older and looked good wearing the pearl flowers, so the pearl flowers were given to them.
As for Wenrou and the daughters of several families who worked at home, Gu Qingqing gave them hairbands directly. Little children look more adorable with hairbands.
When they were having dinner that night and talked about going to look at the bricks early the next morning, Gu Qingqing suddenly remembered that Meihua had said before that she also wanted to renovate her house after the autumn harvest, but now she was stuck with the autumn harvest and burning lime, and now she didn't know whether she wanted to renovate her house or not.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing said to Wen Wuyan beside her, "Wuyan, why don't you go to Uncle Zhang He's house later to see if he wants to build a house in the fall. If you have an idea, let's buy bricks together. Maybe each brick can be cheaper by a few cents."
"Okay, I'll go there in a minute."
"I'll go with you." Zhao Dong, who was at another table, took over the conversation.
"Okay." Wen Wuyan nodded.
They were said to be two people, but after they had dinner, seeing that it was still early for dark, Gu Qingqing also went with them, holding a hairband.
Niu Xiaoguang looked at the new hair tie on his elder sister's head with great envy, and hesitantly walked to Gu Qingqing, "Aunt, do you think I would look good with a hair tie on?"
Gu Qingqing looked at the big red hairband on Xiaoyang's head, and thought about how it would look on Xiaoguang's head. She couldn't help but twitch her lips, and finally raised her hand to stroke the ends of his hair. "You will definitely not look good in a red one, and only girls can wear it. If you like, your uncle will bring you one of a different color when he comes back next time, okay?"
"Okay, okay, auntie, you have to keep your word." Niu Xiaoguang stretched out his hand and hugged Gu Qingqing's belly, tilting his little face up and smiling happily.
"Auntie keeps her word."
"What kind of hairband do you want to wear, kid? I think this one looks good on you." Seeing this, Niu Li came over with a smile and pulled Xiaoguang away from Qingqing.
"Don't listen to the child's yelling, and don't waste the money. Here, this is for you. Don't complain about my poor craftsmanship in making the rope. I was planning to bring it back to you tomorrow, but since you are here today, you can just take it back yourself." Niu Li said as she handed Gu Qingqing a roll of cloth.
Gu Qingqing took it with some surprise, opened it and asked, "Auntie, what is this?"
"I was bored at home the past two days, so I asked Xiaocao to bring me a piece of cloth from the town. I gave this to you, and I made an inner garment for each of the two children in Meihua's belly." As Niu Li spoke, her eyes fell on Gu Qingqing's belly.
Gu Qingqing followed her gaze down to her belly. She was startled for a moment before she burst into laughter. "I thought these were clothes made for me by my aunt, but they turned out to be made for this little one. I was so happy for nothing."
"Hey, you just want to make fun of your aunt, right? You don't have any, and if anyone gives anything, it's only for the children." Niu Li said jokingly.
"Well, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have it. It's good to have a child. Then I will accept it without hesitation. I will thank Grandma Niu for the new clothes she gave him."
Gu Qingqing suddenly thought of something, her eyes fell on Luo Meihua's face, and she whispered, "It's a little rounder." Then she told Luo Meihua about her concerns.
Also share some of her theoretical experience with her.
Only when Wen Wuyan, who was discussing something, came to call her did she follow Wen Wuyan back.
That night, Gu Qingqing took five taels of silver and gave it to Wen Wuyan. The children on the kang were not asleep either. They rested their chins on the pillows and watched their father washing their mother's feet.
Gu Qingqing felt embarrassed being stared at by several pairs of eyes, so she could only turn her head and threaten the people on the kang, "It's already dark, why don't you go to bed? When the wolves come, they will take you all away."
"Hehe, Mom was lying. We have Dad, Mom, and Dahei at home, so there are no wolves." Wenrou giggled in the bed.
Xiao Nuannuan, who was lying between the eldest and second sisters, didn't know what the second sister was laughing about, so she also giggled.
Gu Qingqing could only move her feet that were held by Wen Wuyan in the basin, "Look, the children are laughing at us. Huh, get up quickly. I can do it myself."
Wen Wuyan turned his head and made a threatening face towards the kang, then said, "Just watch it, it's a good opportunity for them to learn something."
Wen Wuyan said this while picking up the rag beside him, wiped the water off Gu Qingqing's feet, put on clean shoes, helped her onto the kang, and washed his own feet with the water in the basin.
Gu Qingqing knew when Wen Wuyan left the next day, but she was so sleepy that she just muttered something and continued to sleep.
She didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky.
She doesn't have to worry about anything at home now. The only thing she needs is the duck feathers that were cooked yesterday and are now drying. Since they are drying, they cannot be used yet, so everything else is continuing as planned.
After she had breakfast, she thought that there was nothing to do today, so she took Dahei to the hillside to find Yang Xing.
She planned to ask Yang Xing to kill a few ducks so that she could make roast duck at home as she had nothing to do today.
The stove in the backyard had been built a long time ago. We finally waited until the weather was no longer hot. Wen Wuyan was there today, so he wanted to make two roast ducks for everyone to enjoy.
When Wen Wuyan came back in the afternoon, he excitedly entered the front yard and shouted, "Qingqing, Qingqing, I'm back."
The whole yard was so quiet that no one responded to him.
"Where are you, warmth and gentleness?"
"..."
"Uncle Yang!"
"..."
At this time, all the family members gathered in the backyard. After listening for a while, Li Xin walked to Gu Qingqing who was not far away and said, "Aunt, I think I heard uncle's voice."
"Ah! Really? Go and take a look, maybe it's really your uncle who comes back." Gu Qingqing was concentrating on staring at the oven that had been built in the backyard a long time ago. When he heard Li Xin's words, he just waved at him.
Over there, Wen Wuyan saw no one in the front yard or the inner yard, and heard that all the voices were coming from the backyard. Just as he was about to go over, he saw Li Xin running out from the backyard. When he saw him, he hurriedly waved and shouted, "Uncle, we are in the backyard."
"I told you guys you didn't come out even after I called you. Why did you all go to the backyard? To watch your aunt making soap?" Wen Wuyan smiled gently.
"No, my aunt is roasting duck in the backyard." After saying that, Li Xin and Wen Wuyan walked towards the backyard together.
Before Wen Wuyan reached the backyard, he heard the sound coming from inside.
"Boss, is it almost done? Why do I smell the burnt smell again? Do you want to take the duck out?" Zhao Nan didn't go to buy bricks today. After lunch, his boss kept him back and said he wanted to make some roast duck.
He said he couldn't, but the boss assured her that she could.
He did as his boss asked, and now he smelled the burnt meat again.
"It seems like there is a smell. Why don't we take it out and have a look first?" Gu Qingqing said uncertainly while moving towards the stove.
Want to see it first!
When Zhao Nan moved the stone slab off the oven, an even stronger smell of burnt food filled the yard.
"It's over, it's over, it's burnt again." Zhao Nan was sweating profusely, screaming, and hurriedly pulled the duck tied with wire out of the stove.
The reason I say "again" is because this is the third one.
She was worried that the duck would be difficult to roast in the afternoon, so she asked Yang Xing to kill an extra one. Who knew...
