Qi Zheng had a hard time.

This is really hard to explain.

At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the yard: "Isn't this simple?"

When everyone looked over, they saw Yin Cheng and Qin Minglang walking towards the door.

Several people got up quickly, and only sat down together when the two came to the front.

Qi Zheng asked: "Mr. Yin, is there any good idea?"

Yin Cheng snorted, and said: "It's a shame that you are all old bones, and you can't even think about this clearly."

Being ridiculed by Yin Cheng, the four old men all smiled sarcastically and were not angry.

Yin Cheng snorted again: "You are all veterans of crops. If you want to ask who is familiar with farmland, it is not you? Besides, you have experienced the drought and locust plague that year. Isn't that enough? As a reason?"

These words made everyone suddenly realize.

Crop old-fashioned, or someone who has personally experienced it, this is enough to explain everything!

"Thank you, Mr. Yin, for your suggestion!"

Qi Zheng hurriedly clasped his fists together.

The same goes for the other three old men.

Yin Cheng curled his lips and looked at Quanjin: "Fourth boy, just go ahead and say that. If the people in the government believe it, they will believe it. If you don't believe it, don't linger and come back quickly. We still have to focus on our own business. do you know?"

"Yes!"

Quan Quanjin hurriedly responded.

Seeing that he only promised not to move, Yin Cheng's face darkened immediately: "If you know, why don't you hurry up and do it!"

"Yes, I'm going!"

Qi Quanjin got up quickly, and Qi Ercai was about to get up, but was called out by Yin Cheng: "Second boy, don't be idle, hurry up and tell the others, don't really wait for something to happen before you work."

"Yes, Mr. Yin!"

Qi Ercai resolutely gave up going to the city with the fourth child, and hurriedly went to talk to other people about it.

Yi Meng looked at Yin Cheng and wanted to laugh, but she was afraid of offending the old man, so she could only hold back her laughter and praised: "It is said that sailing in the sea depends on the helmsman. I think the one among us who can be the helmsman is not Yin Yin." It's none other than Mister."

"Hmph! Just be quick-spoken. If you really want to, cook something delicious at night. I haven't had a drink for a long time, old man."

After Yin Cheng finished speaking, he got up and left.

Yi Meng hurriedly responded: "Mr. Yin, go slowly! I will cook in the evening!"

Qin Minglang shook his head helplessly, and said to Yi Meng: "It's too hot today, don't make too much food, so as not to waste it."

"Yes, Mr. Qin, don't worry, I know it well."

Yi Meng replied.

Yin Cheng, who walked a few steps, scolded: "You are everywhere, are you annoying?"

"Brother, it's almost time to rest, I'll go back with you."

Qin Minglang really had nothing to do with this senior, he nodded to everyone, and hurried to chase after Yin Cheng.

Knowing that there is a high possibility of locust plagues coming, everyone is still very nervous.

Although the land of each family is not much, the things grown in it are their rations, so naturally they dare not take it lightly.

Qi Ercai led everyone together to study, and finally decided to use grass curtains, wood and the like to cover all the seedling fields to minimize the possibility of locusts getting in.

Although Yi Meng was busy making dinner after returning home, her mind was not idle, and she kept recalling whether she had seen similar methods to fight locust plagues in her previous life.

It wasn't until dinner at night that Yi Meng suddenly thought of a way.

"Have it!"

The sudden voice startled the others on the table, and they all looked at her.

Yi Meng blushed, and said embarrassingly: "I, I just suddenly thought of a way to fight against the locust plague, and I couldn't hold back for a while..."

"Mengniang, do you really have a way to fight against the locust plague?"

Qi Zheng's focus is very accurate.

Yi Meng nodded: "I remember reading a book before, which said that ducks can eat locusts. Let's buy some live ducks now, maybe we can wipe out part of the locust plague."

As soon as the words fell, before anyone could answer, Qi Manman, who was sitting in Qi Cheng's arms, giggled: "Duck, quack quack! Quack!"

The little girl has eaten old duck soup and duck blood vermicelli, all made by Yi Meng.

Now when ducks are mentioned, she immediately thinks of those foods, and blinks her big eyes at Yimeng: "Mom, Man Baoer wants to eat ducks!"

Yi Meng couldn't laugh or cry.

The ducks she mentioned were for eating the locusts, not being eaten.

However, Qi Chengshi, who loves his granddaughter and crazy demon, made a decision: "Okay! Let's buy ducks, buy more ducks, and then we can eat them if we want to!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then continue to eat with the bowls and chopsticks.

It's okay to buy anything, the most important thing right now is cooking.

I have to say that the fourth daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is very good. Compared with the food she cooks, what the family eats on weekdays is simply pig food.

Everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to say it.

Years of experience told them that if they dare to say that the meals made by other sisters-in-law and younger siblings are like pig food, it means that he will be targeted for a long time.

Therefore, cook honestly and eat more, this is the most important thing to do.

When Qi Quanjin came back, he didn't have a special reaction. It was only after Qi Ercai asked about it that he found out that he had told Liu Qinghe, who was a yamen servant, about it.

As for what Liu Qinghe will tell the people above, that is beyond their control.

I don't know when the locust plague will come, but they are very sure that they want to buy ducks for Man Baoer as soon as possible, and the Qi family drove their carriage into the city the next day.

There are ducks sold in the market in the city.

There are not many, there are old ducks and just big ducks, but most of them are young ducks.

Yi Meng went to the city with a few sisters-in-law, and a few men from the family.

When everyone saw these ducks, they asked Yimeng how to buy them.

Yi Meng thought about it, and said, "Buy them all! We have lotus ponds around us, ducks rush to the lotus ponds, and weeds and so on, they can always be fed."

Wang Daya asked: "Then besides ducks, shall we also buy some chicken?"

I thought about buying chickens before, but the family was either busy building a house or surrounding the yard, and no one was looking after them, so although the chicken coop was built, it was always empty.

Yi Meng nodded immediately: "Buy, buy roosters, hens and chicks. Our family has a place, so we can feed them."

You Yimeng nodded, and everyone let go.

Divide into two teams, one to collect ducks and the other to collect chickens.

By the time they returned, several baskets had already been placed on the carriage, and many chickens and ducks had their paws tied up.

Giggling and quacking along the way, it was a lively scene.

When the children in the family saw so many animals, they all yelled and jumped for joy.

The chickens were put directly into the chicken coop, and the ducks were put into the pigsty.

Qi Cheng frowned when he saw so many chickens and ducks.

She agreed to buy ducks, but she didn't say she would buy so many ducks!
Look at the giggling and quacking things with their mouths open, what's the matter?
