No.233 Hatching eggs

Cut off a small piece of fat and thin red and white ham meat, cut it into thin slices, stir-fry the oil in the pot, and after stir-frying the chives, ginger and garlic, Wang Mingyuan added a few fresh vegetables picked from the vegetable field to the pot, and quickly seasoned, stir-fried out of the pot, and divided into two large bowls.

Beat six more eggs, quickly break them up with a fast seed, put them in a pot with a little lard, the eggs quickly expanded, and were chopped in the pot by Wang Mingyuan with a spatula, and then added a lot of soup, and after the soup was boiled, he added the shepherd's cabbage selected from the vegetable field.

Probably because the vegetable field is watered with a lot of manure and sufficient nutrients, these weed-like wild shepherd's cabbage also grows very tender and fat in the ground.

After boiling it slightly, the egg and vegetable soup came out of the pot, and Wang Mingyuan also put it on the table in two large bowls, so he took the bowl and added rice to Zhang Guanghua, who was already drooling, and began to feast.

The oil from the ham meat is much more fragrant than the white oil made from the lard, probably because the fat in the ham has been fully fermented during the preservation process.

This oil, whether it is used for stir-frying vegetables or stir-fried rice, can have a different aroma.

After gobbling up the two big bowls of rice filled with spikes, Zhang Guanghua touched his round belly, looked at the dishes on the table and the rice in the pot, and was a little unsatisfied, but the belly really couldn't hold it, so he had to put down the bowl quickly and watch Wang Mingyuan chew slowly.

"If you eat in the future, slow down, chew and swallow slowly to digest better, and no one will rob you." Wang Mingyuan said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago, in my place, the food is enough." ”

"Got it, big brother!" Zhang Guanghua was a little embarrassed and said, "These meals are so delicious......

"Okay, bring the food on the table back to your grandma and grandpa, they haven't eaten yet!"

Wang Mingyuan explained: "Next, I will go out for a few days and give you the study task, don't delay!" When I get back, I'll get you something delicious and bring you some White Rabbit toffee. ”

"Good!"

The little one answered excitedly, then picked up the soup on the table, and cautiously went out of the room and went home.

Wang Mingyuan cleaned up the pots and bowls, and after cleaning them, when he was about to put the bowls into the cupboard, his eyes fell on the ten peacock eggs he put in the basket.

He didn't know if these peacock eggs would be lost after a long time, but he knew that every peacock egg here would be a very rare existence in the future generations.

Unfortunately, in later generations, private feeding of first-class protected animals such as green peacocks was not allowed, and he especially wanted to raise a few.

Originally, he wanted to bring some back to the official protection organization in 2023, but after thinking about it, these days, when many people get green peacocks and eggs, they are simply used for eating, and they can buy some more and bring them back.

Moreover, even if you have the intention to bring back the eggs of the blue peacock, you can't release them in large quantities at one time, otherwise it is very likely that you will be suspected of hunting rare and protected animals, which will cause trouble.

As for the ten peacock eggs...... You have to find a hen with a nest to hatch, but you can't delay it forever.

Thinking of this, Wang Mingyuan went around the houses and found a hen holding a nest in Li Tong's house, and Li Tong and his daughter-in-law were about to go to each house to find some eggs to hatch the chicks.

It's not a few years ago, the tail of capitalism is cut everywhere, chickens and ducks can't be raised more than three, pigs can't be raised with sows...... Although the shadow has not completely dissipated, every household has raised some of them, but the number is still not much, first, I am worried that the same thing will happen again, and second, there is no food to feed more.

The situation is much better in the border areas where ethnic minorities gather, they are not too badly damaged, they are bolder and, of course, more extensive in terms of farming.

What's more, chickens and ducks and other poultry, in the era of lack of grain and oil, those duck eggs and eggs are the best supplement, and these eggs can also be exchanged for some small money, some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and needles and threads.

Every morning, holding the hen and using your finger to find out if there are any eggs through the chicken's butthole, is a routine operation in these years.

As soon as there are eggs, cover them until they are dropped.

Wang Mingyuan simply handed over ten peacock eggs to her, and gave her ten yuan to help hatch them.

Looking at the peacock eggs about the size of goose eggs, Li Tong and his daughter-in-law looked suspicious: "Can a hen hatch such a big peacock egg?" ”

What birds hatch what eggs, and use hens to hatch peacock eggs, in the eyes of many people, feel outrageous.

But I don't know that peacocks belong to the pheasant family, and it is a routine operation to hatch other eggs with chickens, and Wang Mingyuan already knows that peacock eggs can be hatched by chickens.

If this is in the next life, even chickens will not be needed, and it will be done directly with an incubator.

"Don't worry, no problem!" Wang Mingyuan affirmed.

Borrowing someone else's hen to hatch eggs, ten peacock eggs can occupy a place compared to eggs, and naturally you can't hatch extra eggs.

Wang Mingyuan's ten yuan is considered compensation.

He didn't know how long it would take for the peacock eggs to hatch, so he went back to get some stick noodles and handed them to Li Tong's daughter-in-law, asking her to help feed the hen.

Many hens in the hatching, completely into a level of almost dementia forgetfulness, if not active feeding, has been squatting in the nest, a long time without management, hens are getting thinner and thinner, and even because of hatching eggs to live and die, it is also a very common thing.

After watching Li Tong's daughter-in-law, she found a tattered basket, put some pine needles in it to make a chicken nest shape, put ten peacock eggs in the nest, and put the hens that hatched the eggs into it.

The hen gathered the peacock eggs with her beak, and after fluffing up the feathers to cover all the peacock eggs, Wang Mingyuan left satisfied.

This is a biological instinct, but also a mother's love, even if these eggs are not eggs, he believes that they will be well cared for.

Naturally, he thought of Su Ying again.

Since she came all the way to Mingcheng from Haicheng, Wang Mingyuan believed that she could not just go to Zhangjiaao and return without even leaving Mingcheng.

Maybe I can meet her in Mingcheng.

Wang Mingyuan felt that he had been to Mingcheng twice, and he should also go to see Wang Baochang and his son in this world.

He knew very well that he had nothing to do with them, but this was once his grandfather and father's past.

He didn't interfere too much with the trajectory of their lives, just thinking about his grandfather and father's regrets, and he didn't want to repeat them in this world.

In this matter, he wanted to help them.

For Wang Mingyuan, it is a pity that he has never seen his grandmother.

I just borrowed this trip to Mingcheng to take a look.

He can teleport directly, but Su Ying can't, he has to take the shuttle bus to go around, and he won't be able to reach Mingcheng for a while and a half, if there is no delay, he can arrive one step ahead of Su Ying.

In later generations, the highway traveled all the way, and the distance that could be completed by self-driving in one day, in this year, the shuttle bus with an average speed of no more than forty yards per hour, swayed all the way, constantly getting on and off passengers and various delays along the way, as well as many transfers, if you want to reach Mingcheng from Adu Commune, it is difficult without two or three days.

After returning to the Zhiqing Point, Wang Mingyuan washed his face, changed into clean clothes, lay on the bed for a nap, got up at nearly twelve o'clock in the evening, and teleported to Mangxian County.
