"Dad, Dad, look! The little hen has laid an egg!" Yaya ran up to Zhang Taiping, and showed a bloodshot egg on the palm of her hand for him to see.The child saw that the word "little hen" was a bit awkward, but under the leadership of Zhang Taiping, he got used to it.

Zhang Taiping picked up the eggs and weighed them, the weight was still light, it was the first time to lay such a heavy egg, it seems that these pullets are still very strong.

"Go, take it back and eat!" Zhang Taiping yelled.

"Eat!" Yaya took Zhang Taiping's hand and yelled crisply.

The old and the young went back to the front room and entered the kitchen, when they heard someone from behind say, "What are you two doing sneakily?" Fan Ming was wiping his face with a towel when he saw the father and daughter sneaking into the kitchen , then followed behind and said loudly suddenly, trying to scare them.

As for Zhang Taiping, I won’t talk about it. Yaya, who was very aggressive, was really taken aback. She quickly hid the egg behind her back and said, “I didn’t do anything.”

Fan Ming saw Yaya's arm hidden behind her back, and wanted to tease her, so she deliberately put on a serious face and said: "Children lie that they are not tall, they will always be this small." "Now I'll give you another chance. If you do it honestly, you can still grow taller."

This is the little Yaya's Achilles' heel. Yaya who wants to grow taller is most afraid of not growing taller. Every time Fan Ming threatens her with this phrase, Yaya will tell the truth.But today was an exception. She took two small steps back, secretly put the egg in Zhang Taiping's hand from behind, then took a big step forward and said, "Look, I don't have anything in my hand." " Said and shook Bai Shengsheng's small hands in front of Fan Ming's eyes.

Fan Ming's eyeballs rolled around and she thought about it, and suddenly grabbed Yaya's little hand and looked at it and said, "Yaya, why is your hand bleeding?"

Yaya pulled her hand back and looked at it, and sure enough there was a tinge of red on it, rubbing it with her thumb and it disappeared, so she raised her head and said indifferently: "That's not the blood on my hand, it's on the egg just now. Look, now it's on the egg." No."

Fan Ming didn't look at her little hands, and suddenly said loudly: "You steal the eggs!"

"We didn't!" Yaya immediately retorted reflexively.

Fan Ming asked with a smile, "Since there is no such thing, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Yaya was speechless, and finally shook her little hand and said, "Look, I didn't hold an egg in my hand." It's just that her words were tantamount to admitting that what she just held was an egg.

"Hey, but I know the eggs are there." Fan Ming said with a mysterious smile.

"Where is it?" Yaya couldn't help but look at Zhang Taiping's hand.

"Haha," Fan Ming laughed suddenly, "It's in your father's hands."

Yaya looked at Zhang Taiping when she heard the words, and Zhang Taiping also looked at her with a helpless expression.Yaya knew that she had been discovered, but with her father as her backing, she was so courageous that she simply and generously admitted: "The little hen has laid an egg, and I ate it!" With a wave of her little hand, she felt like scolding Fang Qiu for pointing Jiang Shang.

"I have to have a share," Fan Ming said to Yaya, wrinkling her nose and baring her teeth.

Yaya didn't even think about eating alone: ​​"Since you found out, I'll share it with you." It seemed like sharing the spoils.

"How do you eat it?" Fan Ming asked, but this time he asked Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "What kind of food do you want?"

"Stew and eat." Fan Ming said with her tongue out and her lips pursed.After coming to Zhang Taiping's home, she fell in love with Cai Yazhi's stewed egg custard. Although the condiment is only soy sauce, the light salty taste is supremely delicious.

"Okay. It's just that there is only one egg here," he said, showing the egg in his hand, "Go and see if there are any more, and find some more."

"Decree!" Fan Ming responded, and rushed out in a hurry, and came back after a while, carrying a bamboo basket with more than a dozen eggs in it. "These are all just laid by the little hen, and I took out the other one just halfway down, hehe."

Yaya opened her eyes wide and showed an incredulous expression. She had never heard of picking eggs from the back of a hen, and she was a little frightened.

Seeing Yaya's surprised expression, Fan Ming was amused, and cast a provocative look: Xiao Mian fights with me!

Zhang Taiping looked at the expressions of the two, one big and one small, smiled and didn't speak, washed his hands and started making egg custard.

Egg custard is actually made similar to tofu nao, but the method is simpler than that of tofu nao, at least there is no need to grind beans.Just open the egg and put it in an enamel bowl, which is called a foreign porcelain bowl in the countryside, and ceramics are not acceptable.Add a little cold water and stir well, then put two drops of clear oil on top.Put it together with the bowl in the cold water pot, and when the water boils, the egg custard will be ready.

Zhang Taiping calculated the total number of people in the room and prepared seven foreign porcelain bowls.When the first egg was opened, two egg yolks came out, no wonder the weight was so heavy.

"This is mine." Fan Ming immediately reserved the ownership of this bowl, and looked at Yaya next to him as he spoke.

Of course Yaya would not agree: "I found this egg first, and I brought it back, so it should be mine."

Fan Ming smiled and didn't say the reason, just identified the egg: "It's mine."

"It's mine!" Yaya was a little angry at Fan Ming's rascal.

Zhang Taiping looked at Yaya with a smile and said, "Can you give this bowl to your grandfather?"

"Okay!" As long as it's not for Fan Ming, anyone in the room is willing.

Naturally, Fan Ming had no objections.

Among the dozen or so eggs, there were not a few double-yolk eggs, but out of the seven that were cracked, three were double-yolk. Zhang Taiping cleaned the rest of the eggs and boiled them in a pot of water.

When the water was just boiling, Cai Yazhi and Xing Rushui came from outside, saw Zhang Taiping cooking the pot, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Yaya replied first: "The little hen has laid eggs, dad will cook eggs for us!"

Zhang Taiping lifted the lid of the pot and waited for the steam to escape before taking the seven bowls out of the boiling water and putting them on the table.Egg custard is as delicate and tender as tofu nao, but it is slightly yellowed and dotted with some oily flowers. Pour soy sauce on it and cover it with a thin layer before eating.

"Oh? I have a bowl too?" Xing Rushui said with a smile while washing his hands.

Fan Ming said: "No more, no less, one bowl per person."

Zhang Taiping brought in two bowls, one for the old man who was reading medical books, and one for Ye Ling who was sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy.

Zhang Taiping put down the two bowls, suddenly twitched the brush that Ye Ling was practicing calligraphy, pulled the brush from Ye Ling's hand, and stained her hand with ink.She said with a stunned expression: "When practicing calligraphy, you must hold the pen vigorously, and you must not be able to draw it out when others draw it at any time. I hold the pen strong, and I can write correctly."

A thoughtful look gradually appeared in Ye Ling's eyes.Zhang Taiping said: "Okay, wash your hands and eat something before continuing."

When they returned to the front room, they hadn't made a move yet, and waited for Zhang Taiping to pick up the bowl before picking up the bowl one by one.Regardless of whether the egg custard was really delicious, everyone ate it happily, especially Cai Yazhi, who was full of happy smiles.

Xing Rushui couldn't help joking: "Sister Yazhi eats eggs or honey?"

After eating the egg custard, everyone went to the chicken shed to see that there were a few more eggs on the chicken rack.This kind of chicken rack was made by Zhang Taiping at that time, which was very simple and could only be used as a resting place for chickens.Unlike those chicken coops in the chicken farm, the chickens' lives are all in it.It’s okay if it’s inside the chicken coop. The eggs are inside the chicken coop where they can’t go anywhere, and they roll to the edge after being laid. But like Zhang Taiping’s house, the chicks don’t have an absolutely fixed place, where they lay eggs. It's a little uncertain, maybe some little hens with weird personalities will come down to the grass outside.

So you need to get a few nests for the chicks to lay eggs.Simply use a few bricks to build a pit, fill it with some dried velvet grass, and build [-] in a row at once, and hug the pullets who are struggling in various places in the shed to these specially built pits. Inside the nest where the eggs are laid.After having a role model, people will not need human hearts when laying eggs. The eggs will all be laid in this kind of nest.

After coming out of the chicken shed, I also walked around the duck shed. The ducks have not yet laid eggs. They were caught together with the chicks. After the chickens laid eggs, the ducks will not be far away. It is estimated that it will be within a few days God.

After tidying up these, Cai Yazhi asked: "Now the hens have started to lay eggs, and there will be no fewer eggs received every day in the future. Think about what to do with them." The eggs laid by the little hens raised at home before, If she could save a few, Cai Yazhi would sell them to other villages, but now there is no need for this, and there are a lot of them, so she will leave this problem to Zhang Taiping, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

Zhang Taiping said: "Put away the eggs these few days, let me think of a proper way to deal with them."

There are nothing more than two ways to deal with it, either take it out and sell it piecemeal, or take it to restaurants and other places all at once.If it was a one-time walk, Wang Yuhao, who came here to buy Chinese toon at that time, would be a good candidate.

However, in Zhang Taiping's space, there are still a large number of eggs, duck eggs and various eggs, which also need to be processed, so they can't be given to someone at once, otherwise the huge number cannot be explained.We can only find a way to sell them in bulk so as not to arouse suspicion from others because of the huge number of eggs.

After much deliberation, he finally thought of opening a store, which not only sells eggs, duck eggs and other kinds of eggs, but also agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits, and the fish in his own pond can also be sold in it.Make the storefront bigger, and all the crops in the village can be sold from inside.
