"After raising it for so long, feeding it small fish and shrimp every day, it should be laying eggs by now, right?"
Looking at the flock of ducks in the river, Lu Fangfang felt a little hungry for salted duck eggs.
She glanced at the water and saw small fish swimming in front of the cage, so she returned to the fish farm with peace of mind.
I found Sister Shufen and asked her about the ducks.
"It's still early. Ducks need to grow for four or five months before they can lay eggs, and some can take up to half a year."
"Half a year? That's a long time!"
Wang Shufen nodded, she wasn't in a hurry, "Yes, it takes longer than a chicken, unlike a quail, which can lay eggs after forty or fifty days."
After hearing this, Lu Fangfang gave up hope. It seemed that the earliest she could eat duck eggs was autumn.
Turning around, she busied herself cooking bones again.
She hadn't eaten breakfast and was still a little hungry, so she found a few potatoes and started roasting them over a fire.
A large pot of bones was cooked until noon before Lu Fangfang finally took them out.
She climbed the ladder and placed all the cooked and sterilized bones on the roof of the breeding shed.
The sun is strong here, so it dries quickly.
She also had a good haul from the bamboo cages outside, catching a large basin of small miscellaneous fish.
Seeing that the bones in the cage were no longer shiny with oil, she took them out and threw them into a small basin full of grease, intending to soak them for a few days before reusing them.
The fish farm is conveniently located near the river, so I can catch some small fish whenever I have free time.
"Hey girl, these little fish you caught are really good. Can I have some?"
Wang Shufen watched from the side, and her mouth watered.
"Sister Shufen, this was made using the oil from boiling bones."
"It's okay, I saw it all, so I didn't eat much of these fish."
Seeing that Wang Shufen didn't care about this, Lu Fangfang simply gave her all the small basins, saying, "Okay, Sister Shufen, you can take them all."
Wang Shufen felt there were too many small fish.
These little fish use a lot of oil, and her family doesn't have that much oil to waste right now.
She turned around, grabbed a gourd ladle, scooped half a ladle of small fish into the basin, and then handed it to Lu Fangfang.
"Little sister, take some back for Xiaohua to eat. Look how tired you are. Go back and rest. Don't come tonight either. I'll stay here and watch over her. You get a good night's sleep."
