Chapter 279: Bumping Eggs

Local customs, Qingming Festival to eat eggs, some people will also draw pictures on the eggs to coax children.

The little ones love the egg touching game more to see who has the hardest egg and won't break.

Zhou Guilan got up early in the morning and picked up more than 20 eggs and cooked them in the pot.

At this time, Xu Shiqin, Su Anfang, and Su Anhua took Xu Shiqin's pen to draw on the eggs.

Xu Shiqin painted a cat, Su Anfang painted a dog, and Su Anhua painted a naughty child, sticking out his tongue and squeezing his eyes to make a grimace.

Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping both sat obediently, watching their aunts and aunts paint intently.

"Wow, that's beautiful." Xu Jinping took the egg painted by her aunt and let out an exclamation sound in her mouth.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up, my sister's painting is finished."

Xu Haiyuan saw that his sister had a painted egg, and he was not finished yet, so he urged him in a hurry.

Xu Shiqin painted the last part in three or two and handed it to Xu Haiyuan, "That, yours." ”

Xu Haiyuan took the egg and was very happy. "You're so pretty, sister-in-law, you're amazing."

"Okay, let's eat, leave the egg, wait for Xiaoyu to come and give it to him."

When the weather is warm, Ji Yufeng often leads Yang Haoyu to Xu's house to play with Xu Haiyuan's brothers and sisters.

Especially today, Xu Haiyuan's red class is on holiday, and Yang Haoyu will definitely come.

The brother and sister each held an egg, carried it in their pockets like a baby, and followed their aunts and sisters to the East House for dinner.

In the morning, in addition to eggs, there are rice porridge, rice flour cakes, pickles, sprouted green onions, and miso that have just emerged from the ground.

Xu Shiyan and his wife also ate here this morning, each sharing two eggs, porridge and pickles, and the food was also very beautiful.

Xu Haiyuan's brothers and sisters are naturally reluctant to paint the easter eggs in their pockets, which they want to keep to show off with their friends.

"Wait a minute, touch the egg before eating." Xu Haiyuan hurriedly shouted as soon as he saw that the adults were about to smash the peel when they picked up the eggs.

While shouting, he quickly picked an egg from the basin and touched it with Xu Chenghou first.

"Grandpa, let's do it." Xu Haiyuan has an iron relationship with Xu Chenghou, and he is the first to think about his grandfather.

Xu Chenghou smiled and didn't say a word, picked up an egg casually, and headed towards Xu Haiyuan.

As soon as the two eggs touched, they snapped, and the egg in Xu Chenghou's hand was knocked out of a pit.

"I won, I won." Xu Haiyuan was very happy and jumped with joy.

"Grandma, grandma, come, let's meet one."

The victory in the first battle made Xu Haiyuan more confident, and he took the egg he had just won and went to find Zhou Guilan again.

Zhou Guilan also learned from Xu Chenghou, using the big head of the egg to touch the small head of Xu Haiyuan's egg.

Adults know that the egg has an air chamber on the big head, which is empty, and it is the least strong and easy to break.

Sure enough, Xu Haiyuan won again, danced with his happy hands, and went to Xu Shiyan again.

Xu Shiyan had the heart to teach his son, so he touched it with an egg head.

As a result, Xu Haiyuan was dumbfounded, and the egg in his hand was broken.

"Huh? Why is it broken? ”

Xu Haiyuan was very disappointed, and thought that the egg in his hand was an invincible general, but he only touched the two, and it was broken.

Xu Chenghou saw that his grandson's little face was wrinkled, and his face was full of unhappiness, and he was suddenly unhappy and glared at Xu Shiyan.

"Look at you, can't you coax the child to play for a while? An egg, you have to break it? ”

Xu Shiyan just laughed, "Yuanyuan, do you know why grandparents' eggs broke just now?" ”

Little brat, not so many people are used to you, you have to make you realize the cruelty of reality.

"Because, that's your grandparents letting you.

Here, let's crack the eggs, and I'll show you what's in there. ”

Xu Shiyan took his hands, opened the egg, and then told his son about the structure inside the egg.

Tell him that if you touch the big head with the small head of the egg, the big head will have a better chance of breaking.

"Let me tell you, when you touch eggs, you have to pick a little smaller, the skin is red, and most of the shells of this kind of eggs can be a little thicker.

The worst of that kind of big egg white skin is broken when you touch it. ”

Xu Shiyan took two eggs, one with a smaller red skin for his son, and a larger one with a white skin for himself.

This time, both eggs touched small heads, the white-skinned eggs were broken, and the red-skinned ones were unharmed. "Got it?"

"Got it." Xu Haiyuan nodded, it turns out that an egg also has so much knowledge.

"Dad, that goose egg is white-skinned and big, why is it not easy to break?"

The little guy remembered that he had pickled salted goose eggs at home, and he tried them once last year, and it took a lot of effort to crack them.

Everyone was stunned, no one expected that Xu Haiyuan would ask such a question.

"Eggs can't be compared to goose eggs, although goose eggs are big, but the skin is very thick, so they are strong."

Xu Shiyan touched the top of his son's head and said with a smile.

The little one rolled his eyes and immediately smiled at his mother.

"Mom, I'll cook a goose egg later, I'm going to take the goose egg and touch the egg with them, see who is good?"

The people at the table all burst into laughter.

Is this a trick that a six-year-old can come up with? Take goose eggs to touch other people's eggs, so who can compare?

"Don't, don't harm my goose eggs, those goose eggs at home, I'm going to hold the goose."

Su Anying smiled and waved her hand, this son, he can't fix it, he can think of any ghost idea.

"Hug a goose? What a hug? ”

Children's attention is easily diverted, as soon as he heard about hugging a goose, Xu Haiyuan inquired curiously.

"It is to give the goose eggs to the old hug, let the old hug lie down and hatch the eggs, and after thirty-one days, there will be a little goose out.

When the time comes, you can go to feed the goose, and when the goose grows up, it can lay eggs and eat meat. Su Anying patiently explained to her son.

There are many ways to hatch eggs, you can let the old hens hold the nest, or you can incubate them artificially.

Spread a small quilt on the kang, put eggs in it, keep the temperature constant, turn it often, and when the time comes, it will hatch chickens and goslings.

Most of the eggs on the farm hatch this way.

But it doesn't work at home, there are too many children.

The two big ones were naughty, and they forgot to go to the kang one day, so they sat on the quilt and broke the eggs.

Not to mention the two little ones, they are crawling with a full kang, who knows where they can climb?

Wouldn't it be easier to crush a few eggs?

The big ones can still remind them, maybe they can remember them, but the small ones, four or six don't understand, and it's useless to remind them.

So Su Anying still decided to use the old hug to hold the nest.

The garden at home is so big, especially the grass under the hillside, you can eat grass or something if you raise a few geese.

The goose is stupid and can't climb the steep slope, so it won't harm the vegetables above.

He doesn't raise chickens at home, his house is too close to the back mountain, and chickens are easy to be yellow-skinned, and they can fly indiscriminately and harm the vegetable garden.

Anyway, there are a lot of chickens on the farm, there is no shortage of eggs to eat, and the family is to raise a few geese, which does not cost much.

Wait for the eggs to be pickled and pickled with some salted goose eggs, and keep them for going up the mountain to bring rice or something, which is better than pickle strips.
