At noon, Shen's Father and Mrs. Zheng returned home. They bought all the things that needed to be bought, and bought all the glutinous rice, red beans, and soybeans Shen Shiliu wanted.

The Shen Shiliu was cleaning up slowly while Shen Shu went over to help choose the beans.

"Mother, take care of yourself. I'll come see you in two months!" Mrs. Zheng's eyes turned red. No matter how old she was, separating from her mother would cause her heart to ache.

The Shen family didn't think it would be too serious, but going back to reattach their bones would be no problem. They didn't expect to hear the village girl say that Elder Han's leg injury was quite severe.

"Is it that serious?" Mrs. Zheng was suspicious. Shen's Father felt that some of the more reclusive people should go take a look. However, he felt that it was better not to get involved in the dispute between the two families.

Shen Shiliu was still working hard every day, so Shen Shu continued to go to school. After going through a Beggar's Day, Shen Shiliu had thought about it and made a lot of money, she really had to develop it properly, although selling pastries was not bad, but there was a season, and there weren't many people who sold pastries normally. Moreover, they were only willing to buy the four items that they had researched themselves.

There were a lot of people gathering herbs and mushrooms at the small hill, and those that were close to the hill only chatted a little. Shen Shiliu normally listened, and today was no exception.

"I heard that Han Laonianer's leg injury was not light, and was sent to the county yesterday afternoon. The doctor said that her injury was too severe, and that his bones were going to be spent!" Old woman A said.

"That's right, this Old Han's house is pointing towards Han Laonianer. If she's injured, then this little one, could it be that this entire family has collapsed?" The B Family's woman also agreed.

Shen Shiliu listened by the side, she did not expect Han Laonianer's injuries to be so serious.

Shen Shiliu had been busy the whole morning, and when the sky was getting dark, she returned home. As Mrs. Zheng was cooking porridge at home, Shen Shiliu just happened to flush the wild lilies that she had casually picked back into the pot.

"Mom, I heard that Uncle Han's injuries are quite severe. Do you really not need to go take a look?" Shen Shiliu said: "I don't care about their family talking about me anymore. If we don't go, it will be easy for people to tell us, right?" The village was full of troubles, and what they valued was simple friendship.

Mrs. Zheng sighed: "Our family's pomegranate can tolerate people, but this matter still requires your father to be in charge, your father is extremely angry about this matter."

Shen Shiliu nodded her head. After all, she had "hanged herself" for this matter.

The Shen's Father was at a loss for a moment, then said: "Let's send some stuff over in the afternoon, we can't really just ignore everything."

Shen Shiliu studied for a moment. Since it was a gift, she couldn't possibly send some cucumber and persimmon over. After pondering it over for a while, she finally went to the duck house and grabbed a duck.

"This duck hasn't grown to be the fattest yet. It's probably not good to just give it away, right?" Really.

Shen Shiliu pinched the duck. Actually, it was the best right now.

"That's good enough. We'll send it over when it's done." The Shen Shiliu said as she began to pull at the duck's neck. After pulling off all its feathers, she used a kitchen knife to wipe its neck and started bleeding.

She used the bowl to catch the duck blood she was giving off. After the bleeding was over, he threw the duck onto the ground and let it flop around.

"I'll boil some water for you, you can take a rest first!" Mrs. Zheng was afraid that his child would be too tired. Although Shen Shiliu still looked rather fat at the moment, but he didn't eat well everyday either.

Shen Shiliu sat down to rest for a while, but during these few days, she felt that her body had become lighter. Previously, when she moved, her body would start sweating and her heart would start beating faster, but now, although she was still sweating and her heart was beating faster, but it was already lighter.

After boiling the water, the two girls scalded the duck feathers. The duck feathers that were poured with hot water were very easy to pull, so the two girls quickly added more ducks.

"Mother, don't throw away the duck hair, keep it!" The Shen Shiliu said.

"Ah?" What's the use of keeping this thing? " Mrs. Zheng was confused, her pomegranate was getting better and better, not letting her throw anything away?

"I'm useful!" Shen Shiliu laughed, the uses of duck feathers were great, it would be fine even if he could store enough to make a down jacket! Warmer and cheaper than cotton!

The prepared ducks were pickled with seasoning, the scallions, ginger, garlic, small fennel, sweet and salt of cinnamon, and finally white vinegar. When the ingredients were ready, the ducks would receive a relatively adequate "SPA", and after that, the Shen Shiliu would go outside the village to chop some pine and pine branches to smoke the ducks.

In the evening, Shen Shiliu's duck was almost smoked up. Shen's Father looked at the duck with envy for a long time.

"Let's make one for ourselves tomorrow!" Shen Shiliu said, with her own skills, she could not lose out on her own family!

Shen's Father felt a little pained: "This duck is still hoping to be sold at the end of the year, it can't let my family eat it all, right?"

Mrs. Zheng laughed: "Of course not, we are not that kind of person. It's not bad to occasionally eat better food!"

Shen's Father nodded and said: "Then tomorrow I will bring back some alcohol from the county, I can't let a duck go blind!"

Shen Shiliu laughed. Seeing that the ducks were almost ready, she took them down from the fire.

Mrs. Zheng brought over a bag of oily paper. Seeing that it was about time, he said: "I'll take it over now, they can also eat it tonight."

Once Mrs. Zheng left, Shen Shiliu thought that it would be great if there was more honey, but they did not have such a thing in their family. Although it did not taste as good, it was still good.

Shen Shiliu counted the ducks in the duck house. There were still 21 left, she wanted to keep five or six for herself and sell the rest. Shen's Father also thought the same, and Shen Shiliu also wanted to ask him that, since they were fat ducks, she asked him: "My daughter, do you want to catch a nest to continue raising? We can sell it for another round at the end of the year! "

Shen Shiliu thought for a bit, calculated the date, and when it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, this nest would just barely fit him in. At this time, if she raised another nest, it would be possible for another to appear a year ago, so she nodded her head, "It's fine to capture them, but when it's winter, we will have to change the duck food. I will study how to feed the winter ducks tomorrow."

"Fine, no rush, our family made a mistake, we must not recuperate!" The Shen's Father said.

At this time, Shen Shu returned from the academy, and the courtyard was still filled with memories. He sniffed and asked, "What smell is it? "So fragrant?"

Shen Shiliu laughed: "I messed up today, let's get two together!"

"Today we'll just treat it as practice. Tomorrow, we'll kill another duck and we'll eat it too!" Shen's Father was so happy that she couldn't fall asleep due to her craving.

Shen Shu also didn't know what her father and Shen Shiliu were talking about, but he still told them: "pomegranate, the Du brothers said that he made a flower lantern, they want you to check it and see if it's done well!"

Shen Shiliu knew that Shen Shu was referring to Du Xuanmo, so she said, "Alright, let's go to the county city together tomorrow."

The next day, Shen Shiliu went to the county city. Du Xuan Mo saw that the Shen Shiliu had come, so he came over and said: "You've come. Come over and see how my lanterns are!"

"Alright, let me see!" Shen Shiliu followed him to Du Xuanmo's stall.

Du Xuan Mo took out a lantern that was made from pink muslin, which was cut with bamboo lace and looked very exquisite. Although she had seen all sorts of lanterns that were crafted by modern technology, it wasn't as tasty as this one. When something was done, one could feel a tender affection for it just by looking at it.

"It's pretty good. Did you draw it yourself?" Shen Shiliu was quick to say: "What a great painting."

Du Xuan Mo's face was a little red as he said, "I drew it."

Shen Shiliu said, "How many of them did you do? What price are you planning to sell it at? " This lanterns went along the fine line and were sold at too low a price. If they were sold at too high a price, they wouldn't be able to sell.

"Prepare three hundred gold coins for one." Du Xuan Mo thought that the poor couldn't be sold, but the rich loved to buy them.

Shen Shiliu nodded her head: "That's fine, it's not considered expensive, it's pretty good."

Du Xuan Mo saw that the Shen Shiliu really liked this lantern, so he said, "If you like this lamp, take it back. I'll send you back."

Shen Shiliu quickly shook her head. "How can that be! Three hundred gold coins for one, I would not dare to accept such a heavy gift! "

Du Xuan Mo looked at his own bookstall and asked: "Does pomegranate girl want to learn to read?"

The Shen Shiliu nodded, Shen Shu had to learn the basics at the academy, so her progress should be slower.

"Then I'll teach pomegranate girl how to read!" Du Xuanmo said with sincerity.

"Sure!" The Shen Shiliu said, there was an opportunity for her to quickly become a literate person. However...

"But, don't all of you think that it's a virtue for women to be lacking?" Shen Shiliu asked, the old society did not oppress women for just one or two days!

Shen Shiliu nodded his head: "There aren't many people as unpedantic as you." Finally, it was all about oppressing women.
