Chapter 344: Raise crayfish!
The next day, Qin Zhizhi also went out early in the morning.
This time when they went to the farm, Mrs. Qin asked her granddaughter to bring some food to Old Man Qin and the others.
Knowing that they had started transplanting cotton seedlings these days and it would be quite hard work, I specially made some snacks for them.
Ning Ning went with Qin Zhizhi again today. Old Man Qin and the others were delighted to see the things brought by their family. It felt great to have someone thinking of them.
After yesterday’s learning, everyone worked very quickly today and everyone found their own rhythm.
Qin Zhizhi went around the field and was very happy to see that everyone was doing a good job.
"Zhizhi, don't worry, I'm watching everything and I'll make sure nothing goes wrong. Go take Nian Nian with you. It's hot out here, don't let her get caught in the sun."
The grandfather felt very distressed when he saw Qin Zhizhi coming to the fields again. They didn't know how to do it yesterday, but they all learned it today. How could he bear to leave Qin Zhizhi in the fields?
"Grandpa, it's okay. You can get sunburned, but why can't I?" Qin Zhizhi said with a smile.
"How can we be the same? We are all used to doing farm work and are not afraid of the sun. You should go back quickly!"
The great grandfather thought that girls should be pampered, and with Qin Zhizhi's current status, she didn't need to suffer in the fields.
If it weren’t for my father wanting the Qin family to rise, he would have chosen Zhizhi and let Zhizhi lead them in business and farming.
Zhizhi, you should just enjoy yourself at home every day, why should you endure this hardship?
They all felt that Qin Zhizhi didn't deserve this suffering, so sometimes they felt a little guilty towards her.
"Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa and go back right away."
Qin Zhizhi thought it was time for her daughter to be breastfed, so she agreed with a smile.
"That's good. With you at the farm, we feel at ease. We don't need you to do any work."
The grandfather was very happy to see that he had persuaded his granddaughter. He knew that his granddaughter was well-behaved and sensible.
"Grandpa, you don't have to work in the fields all the time. If you're tired, take a rest. I saw today that they're doing very well. You don't need to watch them all the time."
Qin Zhizhi knew that her grandfather and his companions were serious about their work, and she was worried that they were so focused on their work that they neglected their health.
"Zhizhi, don't worry. We will definitely take care of our health. We want to live a few more years and help you for a few more years. Your father and your cousin are still not very good at farming."
The great grandfather smiled and said, Qin Zhizhi was very moved. Her family is like this, it is hard not to love them.
"Well, you will definitely live a long life!"
"Hahaha, okay, we must take good care of our health."
After Qin Zhizhi said goodbye to her great-grandfather, she went to see her second-grandfather and grandfather and gave them the same instructions.
Then Qin Zhizhi went back to find her daughter. Ning Ning did not go out today, but stayed to accompany Nian Nian.
She really couldn't understand the farm work in the fields, and her grandfather and others felt sorry for her and were reluctant to let her do it.
She felt that if she went there, not only would she be unable to help, but she would also make them worry, so it would be better for her to play with Nian Nian.
When Qin Zhizhi came in, Ning Ning was playing with Nian Nian.
"Zhizhi, you're back. You must be exhausted. Take a rest first. Our Nian Nian is so well behaved!"
When Ning Ning saw Qin Zhizhi coming back, her first reaction was to worry that she was tired from working in the fields and she felt sorry for her.
"I just went to the fields to check on them. How could I be tired? It's you who's been working hard accompanying Nian Nian."
As soon as Qin Zhizhi came in, Qingliu hurried to get some water for her to wash her hands.
After Qin Zhizhi washed her hands, she took her daughter from Ning Ning and carried her to the inner room to feed her.
After a while, Qin Zhizhi came out holding the well-fed little dumpling.
"Let me hold the baby. You take a rest." Ning Ning took the little girl from Qin Zhizhi's hands again.
"Qingliu, go call the manager, I have something to ask him!" Qin Zhizhi ordered Qingliu to find the manager of the farm.
"Young Madam, please wait a moment, I'll go right away!" Qingliu bowed and retreated.
Qin Zhizhi and Ning Ning were playing with Gu Nian in the house. After a while, the manager came hurriedly.
"I'm honored to meet the county lady!" The steward quickly bowed when he saw Qin Zhizhi.
"Don't be nervous. I called you here today to ask about the ditch around the cotton field that I asked you to clean last time."
"My Lord, I've already found someone to clean it up!"
"I brought some things today. Find someone to put them in the ditch later."
"Yes, the county lady. I will go find someone right away."
The steward bowed and prepared to leave.
"Find someone good to wait for me at the carriage!" Qin Zhizhi added, and the manager quickly agreed.
After the steward left, Qin Zhizhi said to Ning Ning, "Second sister-in-law, do you want to go with me?"
"Okay, Zhizhi, do you want to bring Nian Nian along?"
"No, let the nanny put her to sleep. She probably hasn't slept yet this morning. Children need more sleep to grow faster."
"Okay, Qingliu, take the young lady to find the wet nurse. You don't have to follow. Stay and help take care of the young lady."
"Yes, Madam!"
Qingliu took the little girl and carried her to the next door to find a wet nurse.
"Let's go, let's go quickly and come back quickly!" Qin Zhizhi went out first, and Ning Ning quickly followed.
"Zhizhi, you brought something this morning!" Ning Ning wouldn't have known if Qin Zhizhi hadn't said it.
"Yes, in that carriage at the back, I asked someone to get some crayfish. I'll release them into the ditch. They'll be big enough for you to eat in a while."
"Wow, it turns out Zhizhi is supposed to be a good eater. I like this!"
This is good news for foodie Ning Ning.
"But you have to wait for a while." Qin Zhizhi was worried that Ning Ning would want to eat soon, which would be troublesome.
"Got it, I'll listen to you!"
When they arrived at the carriage, Qin Zhizhi and Wanwan had already exchanged for crayfish.
When she opened the carriage door, Ning Ning was stunned to see the carriage full of crayfish in wooden barrels.
"Zhizhi, is this the crayfish you were talking about? There are so many of them, and they look a little weird. Can we really eat them?"
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll pack some delicious food!"
"As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter if it looks weird!"
Qin Zhizhi was touched by Ning Ning's cuteness. As expected, for a foodie, there is nothing that can't be solved by delicious food.
After the manager brought his men over, Qin Zhizhi asked them to move all the lobsters in the wooden barrels to the edge of the ditch.
Qin Zhizhi took Ning Ning to the ditch.
"County Lady, are we just going to spread it out like this?" the manager of the farm asked uncertainly.
"Yes, just sprinkle it in. Sprinkle it all around our village."
"It's the county lady!"
The manager took people to scatter crayfish, and Qin Zhizhi was full of anticipation.
Summer is coming, and we have to prepare some crayfish!
It would be a pleasant thought to think that we could all come together to eat crayfish at the farm.
Bring some watermelon, put it in the ice water, and enjoy it with your family and friends, along with some grilled skewers. It’s so delicious just thinking about it.
She remembered that there was a ditch next to the Qin family's farm, so she would send some lobsters there tomorrow to raise, so that she could eat them wherever she went.
