I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 783 The art of hatching ducklings

Seeing her mother staring at Xin with a sigh of relief, Bai Jingjing couldn't help but say, Sister Wen has always been inseparable from her mother. If she didn't follow her back this time, she must have been sent out by her mother's instructions.

Hearing his daughter's question, Bai Yunxi nodded, "It's Xiaowu's first time traveling far away. I'm not worried, so I asked Wenyou to protect him in secret."

 Baiyunxi didn't say much about the specific reasons. It would be useless if he did. It would only make one more person worried.

Baiyunxi soaked her hands in the flower water, smelled the faint fragrance, and raised her eyebrows.

A few people listened to Baiyunxi's suggestion and worked in two shifts. In this way, everyone could take a break and not be overwhelmed by the continuous work.

Even the daughter’s hands are kept white and tender. It’s just that I’ve done a lot of rough work and my knuckles are a bit thick.

Since she had nothing to do, she volunteered and took the preserved eggs to the county town to deliver goods to restaurants.

"Ducklings hatch in twenty-eight days. The temperature during this period must be controlled well, especially not to catch cold, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted. So you have to take turns watching, taking over from each other during the day and night."

After several demonstrations, the four boys tried to take over and mastered the trick. They became proficient very quickly. In less than an hour, they passed through a thousand duck eggs.

 “Okay then,” Xiao Si has learned that her hands are numb after learning a craft recently. Although Xiaosi regrets it, she doesn’t force it.

 After these days of study, Xiaosi's understanding of my mother went from shock to calmness, and now it has calmed down. Anyway, everything can be easily resolved in my mother's hands.

　No one is willing to give up on days that are bitter first and then sweet.

 In this way, he can save more time to do other things.

“Of course, the job of picking rotten duck eggs seems simple, but if you want to miss everything, you also need experience.”

Thinking of what happened in the past, Baiyun Xi curled up the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly.

Broken duck eggs may explode under the catalysis of heat, and the smell will make you doubt your life.

“Yaya and I followed Shu’an into the mountains yesterday. We originally wanted to pick some mushrooms, but unexpectedly we found an early-blooming peach blossom in the sunny part of the mountain stream, so we picked some back. My sister-in-law is also planning to make peach blossom cakes.”

 The smell of the entire kang pond will not go away in a month.

"After sorting the duck eggs, place them directly on the water kang. Just one layer is enough, leaving a slight gap. During this period, you need to turn the duck eggs over to keep the temperature even..." With Baiyunxi's explanation, the duck eggs on the water kang were laid out.

“You need to use light to eliminate white eggs, one by one. You see, under the light, you can see blood streaks through the eggshell. This tadpole-like thing is the initial form of ducklings..."

"This is a derived craft. Of course, it is very simple as long as you master the method. Preserved eggs are simple to make, just plant ash and white lime. There is no secret, just let your sisters-in-law and others handle it later. You guys Specialize in hatching ducklings, don’t make mistakes.”

Spring is here, and it’s time to hatch ducklings. The roast ducks they made a year ago made them a lot of money, and there are not many ducks left.

 After the duck eggs are heated for ten days, they have to be sorted again. This time, the white eggs are mainly picked out. The white eggs are unfertilized duck eggs. Of course, this is also a technical job and requires vision.

Hearing her mother’s reminder, Xiao Si thought of the smell of rotten eggs and couldn’t help but rub her nose. It would be really uncomfortable if she choked.

“As for the white eggs, there is nothing but transparency.”

 “The peach blossoms are blooming?” It seems a bit early in the season.

 One thousand duck eggs, nearly 200 of the white eggs alone are removed.

Of course, there are some tips. As long as you master them well, you can hatch high-quality ducklings with a high survival rate.

 This is irreversible.

 One hundred three. One two four. One hundred four. Two hundred

After getting ready, Baiyunxi began to teach them step by step. Whoever learns well and has strong acceptance ability will be given the task of hatching ducklings in the future, and another person will help him.

She used a water kang to incubate her hair, which was different from the fire kang at this time, but it was the easiest method to control.

By the way, if you deliver a duck to your door, in addition to buying it at the market price, you will also be given an additional five cents for running errands.

“Prepare several round bamboo baskets and warm water first. Wash the duck eggs and shake them in the warm water. Listen to the sound to determine whether there are broken shells or cracks...”

Looking at the surprised looks on several people's faces, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but laugh.

Bai Yunxi looked at the shocked looks in their eyes, thought for a moment, and did not let them learn.

Baiyunxi was demonstrating with them while picking out broken duck eggs.

Baiyunxi nodded, soaked in flower water, and applied ointment on his hands. After a year of maintenance, his hands looked much better than before.

There is nothing that my mother can’t handle, and there is no difficulty that can’t hold her back.

 Use hot water to raise the temperature. When the temperature drops, add hot water and circulate it back and forth every day to ensure that the temperature is suitable.

“Mom, what should I do with the white eggs that I picked out?” Xiao Si looked at the two baskets full of duck eggs and felt very distressed.

 Xiao Si stood nearby, watching the movements in her mother's hands, and blinked, "Mom, what if I didn't pick out the rotten duck eggs?"

Looking at the performance of several people, Bai Yunxi is still very satisfied. As long as people are willing to learn, when the duck factory grows in scale and recruits people, they will be the masters and will only be responsible for teaching the craftsmanship and directing the apprentices to work.

“If it’s not discovered in time, it will stink in a few days. Not to mention the waste, if you have a light appetite, you will not be able to eat for half a month.”

Baiyunxi took the duck eggs and explained it to a few people under the light.

Seeing that the boy was hesitant to speak several times, Baiyunxi didn't waste any time and took him directly to build the hatching pond.

 She had promised Xiaosi years ago that she would teach them how to hatch ducklings.



 Hatching ducklings is not very labor-intensive, but it consumes time and energy. Several people had no objections to this. No one was willing to give up on learning a craft.

Baiyunxi handed over the rest of the work directly to them. She watched from the side and made a few remarks from time to time. Only by practicing it yourself can you fully master the craft.

Bai Yunxi looked at Xiaosi and felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. He was full of energy. I couldn’t help but sigh, it’s great to be young.

In order to increase the number of roast ducks, Xiaosi took Shuan to several villages and towns to purchase ducks raised by farmers.

 The busy days always pass quickly. When the first batch of ducklings hatch out, with the cheers of everyone, a month passes quietly.

“I will follow you while the first batch of ducklings are hatching, but only during the day. After that, you will be on your own.”

When Xiaosi and Xie Yu cooperated, they agreed that whenever they came up with any new tricks, they would be sent to the restaurant immediately and they would be responsible for selling them.

 Having the reputation of Nanshan Restaurant, Baiyunxi wants to save trouble and just pay every time it is delivered.
