Aunt Chen certainly knew that there was not much food in the duck farm, and now they were feeding the ducks only grass and grain.
Last year we harvested the millet and drove the ducks into the rice paddies, but now the fields are all plowed.
Half of the male ducks were taken out directly, and there were still two or three hundred ducks that could be slaughtered, and there were more than a hundred laying ducks that had not laid eggs for several days.
After Zhao Jiaojiao and Ji Yuanhang came back, they asked five aunts to start killing ducks and making marinated duck.
Because Zhao Jiaojiao had to go back to school tomorrow, she was busy until very late, lighting the kerosene lamp and continuing to watch in front of the stove.
"Sister, let me help you watch it!"
Zhao Jiaojiao shook her head, "It will be ready in half an hour."
Zhao Jiaojiao bought a watch at the beginning of the year, but it cost more than one hundred yuan.
In addition to the educated youth working the night shift in the incubator, there are three people living in the duck factory, plus their mother Wang Meili, and both the Zhao brothers and sisters are here.
"Miss Zhao, once you're done stewing, go back and leave the packing to us."
Zhao Jiaojiao shook her head. "More people means faster work."
She still had to keep an eye on it. When making the marinated duck, she would wear a hat and an apron for fear that her hair would get in the way.
Zhao Jiaojiao was busy at the duck farm until almost ten o'clock before she left the farm with a flashlight and went home with Tudan and his two siblings.
I didn't want to move when I got home, but the smell on my body was too strong, so I forced myself to get up and take a hot shower. I fell asleep within two minutes of lying down.
"Are you back?" Accountant Zhao heard the noise and knew that the siblings had returned. He also heard noise coming from the kitchen.
"Dad, go to bed soon. We need to sleep too."
People of this era basically go to bed early and get up early, and go to bed when it gets dark. This has become a signal for people in the countryside to go to bed.
Zhao Jiaojiao slept until she woke up naturally the next day. It was almost nine o'clock.
No one from the Zhao family came to wake her up early. They all knew that Zhao Jiaojiao was tired and weak last night, but she had persisted for so long, preparing spices, making ingredients for braised duck, and frying sugar color. Originally, she had to braise four pots of duck eggs a day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, but she had to make braised duck yesterday and didn't make the two afternoon pots.
"Sister, wake up and get up quickly for dinner." Zhao Lingling washed her sister's clothes early in the morning and waited for her sister to get up at home. Her second brother went out to collect firewood.
"Okay." Zhao Jiaojiao rubbed her face. She hadn't gotten up so late in a long time.
I've adapted to the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and I don't have to be a night owl anymore.
After breakfast, Zhao Jiaojiao packed up and prepared to go out.
"Sister, I'll take you to the duck factory."
Zhao Jiaojiao did not stop her.
The two sisters went to the duck farm.
The members of the brigade were all busy.
"Jiaojiao, are we going to school again?"
Zhao Jiaojiao called out to people politely.
Yesterday, several aunts killed ducks. It only took half a day, but they still got paid, 50 cents per afternoon.
This is much more cost-effective than earning work points by working.
"Brother Jianguo..."
Zhao Jianguo looked up at Zhao Jiaojiao and knew that she had been busy until very late last night. He saw them off and only then closed the door and went to bed.
"Director, I'm waiting for you."
The factory director planned to send the ducks to the county town and give Jiaojiao a ride.
"I got up late."
She was still exhausted, but Zhao Jiaojiao didn't act pretentiously.
Now, when she wakes up in the morning, she feels her hands are a little sore.
"Miss Zhao..."
"let's go!"
The three of them got in the car and headed for the county town.
As he left the brigade on a tractor, some members of the cooperative saw this scene.
"Another delivery?"
