Chapter 301 I hate rain the most!
"Oh! Why is it raining heavily today!"
"It's so annoying! I hate rain the most!"
It started drizzling at midnight yesterday, and it turned into a heavy rain this morning.
These comrades don't like rainy weather because they can't go out to sea when it rains.
Going out to sea on a rainy day is a very dangerous thing.
In the past, there were fishermen who went out to sea in a drizzle, but the sea was rough and their wooden boats were overturned.
Fortunately, the fisherman was an excellent swimmer and he swam until he was exhausted before finally reaching the shore.
The comrades were using the simplest wooden boat, so they had to be careful when going out to sea on sunny days, and they absolutely could not go out to sea on rainy days like this.
The comrades were only thinking about getting more seafood, drying it into dry goods and giving it to the victims.
When it rained and they had to stop working, they didn't feel happy, but rather a little worried.
"It's raining, so why don't we kill the duck today?"
The sixty or seventy ducks in the backyard are now adults and are no longer growing.
The female duck is estimated to start laying eggs in about a month.
The male duck seems to be of no great use except for quacking every day.
"Okay! Let's kill some male ducks. It's a waste of food to keep them like this."
These ducks are no longer growing, and it would be a waste of fish and shrimp to keep the male ducks.
I think it would be better to kill it and eat the meat to nourish everyone.
There's nothing to do in this rainy day, so let's just get to work.
There were more than twenty male ducks in the flock, and we decided to kill fifteen first.
The rest can be kept for future use. After all, it is quite difficult to raise ducklings in this era.
In modern times, you can just buy it from a hatchery, but in this era, it needs to be fertilized by a male duck and then hatched by the female duck.
The remaining ten or so male ducks are used for insemination and hatching ducklings.
These male ducks are all fat and strong, and they probably weigh about 30 pounds with fur.
Killing a duck is also very simple. Just make a small cut on the neck and let the duck bleed slowly.
Xu Shitou was a good duck killer. He picked up a sharp knife and skillfully cut the duck's neck, and the duck's blood slowly flowed out.
No one was willing to waste the duck's blood, so they took a basin and collected the dripping blood.
After the duck blood coagulates, it can be made into duck blood soup, which is also a unique dish.
Sister Chunyan boiled several large pots of water, put the slaughtered ducks into the boiling water, and scalded them for a few minutes, so that it was easy to pluck the feathers.
The duck’s internal organs are not wasted and are handled very carefully.
Duck intestines are particularly troublesome to clean, as the dirty stuff must be washed away first.
Then use a chopstick to turn the duck intestines over, and it’s not over after rinsing them several times.
Sister Chunyan took out a large bowl of wood ash from the stove, and mixed the innards of more than a dozen ducks with the wood ash and stirred them evenly.
When these internal organs were mixed with wood ash, they turned into black lumps.
It does look a little disgusting, but it is not dirty, it is clean.
Wood ash is different from the ash on the ground. It is the ash from burning wood. It is very clean and alkaline.
The working people found that some things that were difficult to clean or had odors would become particularly clean after being washed with wood ash.
"Ayue, clean out the internal organs. I'm going to cut the duck into pieces!"
After saying this, Wang Chunyan went back to work.
Zhou Yue washed these black things with water and they became very clean and had no odor.
Sister Chunyan is a good cook and she is going to make duck soup for everyone today!
