little son-in-law

After politely rejecting old Uncle Li's family's lunch, Mo Nanjin and Ming Ting went home with big and small Maotou, and Ming Ting still carried a few wild ducks in his hand, one was caught by Xiaomaotou, and the rest were Tian Dazhuang's usual ducks in the reeds. traps made in the ground.Before leaving, Uncle Li must let him take him back to taste some wild game.Mo Nanjin thought about what kind of dishes these wild ducks could make to reward Xiao Mo and the two little greedy cats. Of course, Yunzhi was still young and couldn't eat these. Yuyang and Mingyue didn't know whether they liked ducks or not.Go back and ask them again.

"Ming Ting, I suddenly thought of an idea, let's raise ducks." Mo Nanjin suddenly thought of something, stopped and looked at Ming Ting.

"Raising ducks? Young Master, you mean we raise ducks by the pond?" Ming Ting's reaction was obviously very fast, and he had already figured out the meaning of Mo Nanjin's words in an instant.

"Yes, since wild ducks and waterfowl can live by the pond, ducks should also be raised. It's nothing more than eating some aquatic plants, small fish and shrimp, small snails, etc., and they can be stocked naturally. In this way, we have added another item to the water sample. Income, when the ducks grow up in the future, we can buy ducks, sell duck eggs, pickle salted duck eggs, um, maybe try making preserved eggs." The more Mo Nanjin thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good plan.

Ming Ting looked at the young master who was immersed in his own thoughts, full of breath of life, has he come out?Are you no longer living in the shadow of those things?The noble and clean young master in his memory didn't seem to feel so far away after being tainted with the breath of life.

"Ming Ting, let's discuss this matter with Madam when we go back. I think it should be possible." Mo Nanjin raised his head and found that Ming Ting had fallen behind, so he turned around and beckoned him to follow.

"En, master." Ming Ting felt that the several decisions the young master had made in the past few years had all increased the family's income a lot. Since the young master had already raised the idea of ​​raising ducks, it should be feasible.

They took a detour to look at the freshly planted vegetables in the field. The seeds had already sprouted, and the seedlings had begun to take root. The plants were green and pleasant.

Not far away, Tian's pond has been dug, and the area is much larger than that of Mo's, and it is estimated to be about four or five acres. I don't think the Tian family is short of these few acres of grain, and the income from the pond is indeed much higher than that of simply growing grain. It is no wonder that the Tian family is so willing to spend a lot of money this time.

At noon, Mo Nanjin added glutinous rice, diced lean meat, mushrooms, green onion, ginger, ham and plums to make a glutinous rice duck. It was sweet and sour, and it was just right for dinner. Add mushrooms and diced bamboo shoots to make duck soup, which was also delicious.The remaining two, Xiao Mo also cleaned up, hung up, Mingyue cooked a few more dishes, everyone ate lunch happily, Mingyue took the three little devils to take a nap, they prepared After discussing about raising ducks, Mo Nanjin told everyone what he had said to Ming Ting again.

"Sister-in-law's idea is naturally very good. In terms of cost, after the daily expenses of food and clothing at home, there is still some money left, but the market for this duck—" After all, even if ordinary people eat some meat, most of them are Pork and chicken are the main ones, mutton, beef, and duck are all very small, and if there are a lot of them, it is not a good job to sell them in the market.Yuyang didn't worry about raising it, but worried that it would not be sold, so he raised this issue in advance.

"Madam is thoughtful. But Madam doesn't know how the duck dishes are at noon today?" Mo Nanjin smiled gently, and instead of answering Yuyang's question, she asked her another question.

Although Yuyang didn't know why Mo Nanjin talked about him, she thought about it for a while and said: "The glutinous rice duck has delicate meat, sweet and sour taste, very refreshing. The old duck soup has a mellow soup and the duck meat is rotten. Very easy to drink. Compared with chicken soup, it has a different flavor."

"Then Madam thinks, if this dish is placed in a restaurant, will someone order it?" Mo Nanjin continued to ask.

"If someone knows the taste, he will naturally." Yuyang didn't finish his sentence. Naturally, the duck tastes very good. If you know it, you will order it, but you don't know. After all, people who dare to try something new are not everywhere. There are, everyone is still used to ordering the dishes they are more accustomed to.And as far as she knows, in Ningguo, although there has always been a custom of eating ducks as dishes, the dishes are not very popular. Even in restaurants, ducks are not very popular as the main dish, so restaurants have a strong demand for ducks. The quantity will not be much.But if it is based on the dishes at noon today, it is a different matter.

"The lady thinks, if we provide the secret recipe, and there are many secret recipes for making ducks, will the Yun family's restaurant buy our ducks?"

"It's natural. Businessmen value profits. Having a secret recipe means there is business, and naturally it will be profitable. As for buying our ducks, it's just a matter of profit for both parties. The business of the Yun Family Restaurant belongs to the young master Yun Sichuan. , Yun Sichuan is a smart person, he should understand this." After all, when the Yun family first arrived in the Mo family, they helped the Tian family with their affairs, and the Yun family is a big family in the town, so they are not bad. To be fair and reasonable, the Mo family has no reason to alienate them. During the holidays, they would bring some things to the Yun family for a visit.For some things that everyone knows, of course, he didn't deliberately make friends, but Yuyang went to the inner mansion several times to pay his respects, and the old lady of the Yun family liked him very much. Getting along well with his wife is also good, because of these reasons, he knows the members of the Yun family a little better than outsiders.

"Master, that would be great. There are so many restaurants in Yun's family, and every restaurant sells dishes made with ducks. If every restaurant buys our ducks, then we won't have to worry about sales, and maybe we can make a lot of money. You can earn more money than raising fish!" Xiao Mo just sat there obediently and didn't interrupt, but now that the young master and young lady have solved the sales problem, they can raise it with peace of mind.

"But young master, I've wanted to ask since just now, what is a preserved egg?" The young master and the young madam had been discussing just now, although they are no more in the palace than before, but he knows the rules, so he endured until now, and finally he can ask Out.

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Mo Nanjin smiled and said, "Actually, I've only heard people say that this thing is made of duck eggs and lime, and I've never done it, but it shouldn't be difficult. , we can try it then. The taste is not bad."

Duck eggs and ducks can be sold for money. In fact, Mo Nanjin still thought of duck down. In his previous life, there were no duck down quilts, down jackets, etc., which are soft and comfortable, and the price is not cheap, but even Mo Nanjin has never done this. Research also shows that duck down must be sterilized before it is finished, but I don't know if it can be done here.With modern technology, he knows nothing about sterilization.But here, people also use animal fur to make clothes. In this case, there is naturally his own method here, maybe you can ask about it.If it is done, among other things, it is still possible to buy a few duck down cotton padded clothes and quilts for the family for the winter.Of course, before the matter is concluded, this matter will be put on hold here for the time being.

"Now that we have agreed, we will split up and do things separately. The first thing to do now is to buy ducklings. Although people often come to the town to sell ducklings, there are not many ducklings. We have to go to the countryside to buy them ourselves, and we will go to the door. The price will be relatively cheaper. In this way, Xiao Mo, you will go to Da Zhuang later. After all, he used to go to the countryside to do part-time work. He knows the countryside better than us, so I will leave it to her to collect ducklings. Do it." Mo Nanjin thought for a while and said.

"Okay, young master, I'll go right away." As soon as Xiao Mo finished speaking, people rushed out of the door, and it could be seen how enthusiastic Xiao Mo was about this matter.

"Ming Ting, when the time comes, you and Da Zhuang will go to the countryside together. After all, we bought a lot of ducklings this time and brought a lot of money on the way. We are afraid that Da Zhuang's wealth will be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble."

Ming Ting agreed, and then said: "Young master, then the candidate for raising ducks this time, do you think Da Zhuang can do it?"

Raising ducks is not a technical job. Except for the occasional feeding, the basic job is to stock the ducks by the pond in the morning and rush back to the duck shed at night. What Mo Nanjin thinks is to stock the ducks in the open air completely. The quality of the meat is good. Occasionally feeding is to avoid food shortage, and only one person is needed.Knowing Da Zhuang in the past few years, he can also see that he is an honest and honest person. Coupled with the relationship between Uncle Li and Su Su, he is also a very good candidate.

"Then let's make a decision like this first, and then ask Da Zhuang what he means when he comes." Mo Nanjin thinks it shouldn't be a big problem, after all, Da Zhuang is now doing odd jobs everywhere, and it's not easy to find work, and his income is naturally unstable .Now let them be together as a family, and they can take care of each other, and they will not treat him badly in terms of money.But just in case, it's better to ask.

"I think I'll go to Yun's house tomorrow, meet Yun Sichuan in person, and discuss this matter with him." After all, it's just their unilateral idea now.

"That's it, my lord."

Not long after, Xiao Mo led Da Zhuang over, and Da Zhuang lived up to his name, he was tall and strong, with distinct features and a somewhat humble and innocent smile.Xiao Mo had already told him the general content on the way, and Mo Nanjin entrusted him with the matter of raising ducks, and asked him what he meant, and Da Zhuang also agreed with a grateful face.

The matter of raising ducks will come here first, and everything depends on the results of discussions with the Yun family.Mo Nanjin went to the study to sort out the duck recipes he knew.Everyone else is doing their own thing.
