She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 364 It hurts!

Gu Qingqing looked at the eggs in the basket and covered her chest with her hands. "Don't show them to me again. I didn't feel so bad yesterday, but now I'm looking at the eggs. Oh, my baby chicken!"

People are like this, they don't feel sad when they can't see something, but now looking at the eggs in the basket, she seemed to see that an egg died in the womb every day.

Yang Xing was immediately amused by her appearance and understood why she was like that. It was because she was really reluctant to kill the chicken.

But, she asked, “How many chickens do you want to kill today?”

The stab she made with the knife almost made Gu Qingqing choke.

Gu Qingqing covered her forehead and wailed, "Don't worry today. Wait until Meihua and the others come back from town, and then I'll take a look at the situation."

Yang Xing couldn't help laughing when she saw her sad and conflicted look. Then, under Gu Qingqing's deathly gaze, she forced herself to hold back her smile and handed the two feather dusters in her other hand to her.

"I picked out some good chicken feathers and made two feather dusters for you."

Gu Qingqing's depression was transformed into joy. "I thought you were here to smash things and you brought two feather dusters with you. I thought you were going to teach me a lesson, but it turns out you were giving it to me."

"You are always laughing at me. Who can I beat? You told me last time to keep some of the small hairs, and I kept them. But now there are not many, so I didn't take them."

Chickens are different from ducks and geese in that they have no down, only individual feathers.

Although it was impossible to make down quilts and down clothes, small single feathers could be used to make quilts or cushions, so she asked Yang Xing to collect the small feathers.

......

When Luo Meihua and Lu Xiaocao returned that afternoon, the sun had already set.

Gu Qingqing first thanked Zhao Bei for his hard work, and then asked the other two, "Why did you come back so late today? Is it because the goods are not selling well?"

"Sister-in-law, business is good. It was my decision to go to the pork shop." Luo Meihua said with a smile.

"What? Did you go buy pork?" Gu Qingqing asked curiously.

"We didn't sell any pork, but we did sell one extra pig's head. It happened that when we were about to close the stall at noon, an old woman in the town came to us and said that there would be a wedding at home the next day, so she came to reserve a roast chicken and a pig's head from us. I thought that two pig's heads would be just right for our daily braised meat, and if she took one away, there would be less to sell to customers that day. So I asked Brother Zhao Bei to take us to the meat stall." Luo Meihua said, pointing to the three large pig's heads on the cart.

"Hey, that's great. If more companies place orders, our revenue this month will double." Gu Qingqing was about to carry a bucket of pig waste, but Lu Xiaocao snatched it away first.

"Sister, let me do this. We have also bought the pork fat you asked for. Here are more than three pounds. Take this. There is also the pork neck fat you asked for. The boss didn't ask for money and gave it to us directly." After Lu Xiaocao said this, she quickly carried the bucket of pig offal into the yard.

Gu Qingqing followed in with lard in her hand, smiling.

This time she bought lard not for eating, but to start making soap.

Some households in the village try to save on lard, so using lard to make soap is somewhat wasteful, but there is no other way; she has to use lard now.

She had seen that there were many soapberry trees on Niutou Mountain, and she could use the soapberry fruits to make it in the autumn.

Nowadays, if you want to make money, you can only use lard.

"Daxin, Daha, come here." After entering the yard and putting down the pork fat in her hand, Gu Qingqing began to call the children at home.

As Wen Wuyan's summer vacation began, Old Yang also gave the children in the village a holiday.

Dahua and Erhua had nothing to do at home, so they followed Wen Shengxi to do needlework. Dahua's needlework was already pretty good, and now following Wen Shengxi, her skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

As for Daxin, he was currently working as a handyman beside Wen Wuyan, making bamboo cages. The old rabbit in the backyard had kicked a cub again, and one of the rabbits from the litter at the beginning of the year had also kicked a cub.

There were obviously not enough cages, so Wen Wuyan planned to make two more cages.

The two children ran up to Gu Qingqing and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Aunt, what do you want from us?"

"You two go to the fields and pick some mugwort leaves, just a few will do. There's a kind of small yellow and red flowers on the hillside, pick some as well. You don't need too many flowers, just a handful like this will be good enough." Gu Qingqing said as she stretched out her hands and then put them together and held them in her palms.

Seeing Dahua nod, she continued, "Also, go to Yang Xingbo's mother's place and tell her to kill three chickens and two ducks today."

The two children didn't ask any questions and went out with the baskets at home.

While the two of them were still kneading the water with wood ash, she went into the kitchen and cut the pork fat into small pieces.

Wen Shengxi came over at some point, "Sister, do you need to refine oil at home? Let me start the fire first."

"Shengxi, I don't need your help here. Go help your sister and the others. They will be back a little late today. Please help them." Gu Qingqing looked up and said to her, but the kitchen knife in her hand did not stop.

"If you're too busy here, just call me." Wen Shengxi said as he walked towards Lu Xiaocao.

Gu Qingqing first refined the good pork fat from the pot, and then put the remaining oil residue in a basin.

Pig neck is said to be lard, but it is more of lymph, and some of it can be extracted if you refine it into oil.

From the blue sky and bright sun to the moon rising above the treetops.

Gu Qingqing then poured the soap mixed with mugwort branches and the soap mixed with water containing safflower and yellow flowers into the bamboo tube.

Wen Wuyan didn't know what she was going to do, and didn't ask. He just stood guard at the door of the west wing.

After Gu Qingqing finished her work, she came out of the house carrying an oil lamp and saw a person sitting not far from the door. Although she recognized who it was at the first moment, her mouth didn't even have time to listen to her brain at this moment and she let out an "Ah" out of fright.

Wen Wuyan turned around and saw her coming out, and hurriedly stood up to greet her, "Qingqing, are you done with your work?"

"Why are you sitting at the door instead of staying in the house? It's scary." Gu Qingqing said.

"I was worried that you would be scared in the room alone, and I didn't dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing you, so I just stood guard at the door."

Gu Qingqing listened to the other party's slightly aggrieved voice, and her mood inexplicably improved. She laughed and scolded him, "I haven't said anything yet, but you are the first to feel aggrieved."

"Are you done with your work?" Wen Wuyan asked again.

At Gu Qingqing's "hmm", he took the oil lamp from her hand, and they returned to the house side by side.
