Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 830 Eggs

Zhang Yu stood at the top of the stairs and shouted inside: "Brother, it's time to eat."

Zhao Feng responded: "It's coming, it's coming!"

Zhao Lei followed closely: "I know, I'll go out right now."

Zhao Liang hurriedly shouted: "You guys eat first, I'll come down right away!"

Along with Zhao Liang's words, there was the sound of things falling to the ground and the sound of clothes being rubbed together.

After hearing the response, Zhang Yu turned around and went downstairs.

Only halfway down, I heard my sister-in-law calling out from the kitchen: "Xiao Ping, bring me some eggs."

Zhang Yu didn't see Zhao Xiaoping in the house. He probably went back to his house or went out again.

Zhang Yu took two quick steps to the door of the cabinet where eggs are usually stored, and then said casually: "Sister-in-law, how many eggs do you want?"

Hearing that it was Zhang Yu, Zhang Guifang paused in her chopping action and asked in surprise: "Isn't your sister here?"

Zhang Yu shouted twice towards Zhao Xiaoping's room. When no one answered, he said towards the kitchen: "No, he should have gone out."

Hearing that Zhao Xiaoping had gone out, Zhang Guifang couldn't help but frown and muttered: "It's such a cold day, where did that girl Xiaoping go? It's not too cold."

Hearing Zhang Guifang's complaint, Zhao Wenzhuo hurriedly explained to his daughter: "Xiao Ping has been living on campus and finally had a holiday. No matter what, we have to let the child relax for two more days. If she wants to play, just let her play. How many jobs do we have?"

After hearing what Zhao Wenzhuo said, Zhang Guifang glared at him and said angrily: "Am I the kind of person who can't bear to see my daughter idle?"

Seeing that his wife was angry, Zhao Wenzhuo quickly shook his head: "No, no! Absolutely not, my wife is the best."

Zhao Wenzhuo's reaction full of desire for survival made Zhang Guifang's face soften a little, but her tone was still not very good, and she explained dullly: "It's not that I don't let her relax, we are just a daughter, how can I not love her.

Ever since I was little, I never called her for work, but I always called her brothers.

I just felt it was cold and didn’t want her to go out. Look, her hands were still the hands of a little girl. They were red, swollen, and covered with frostbite. "

Zhang Guifang couldn't help but get angry when she said this, and said nagging: "You said she is a little girl, and she is not allowed to do any work. How could she ruin her hands like that?

When I was young, I had to make a living by washing people's clothes in the middle of the winter, but I didn't mess up my hands like that. You say that life is better now, and she doesn't have to work. How did she, a little girl who is still in school, get her hands into such a mess? That kind? "

At this point, Zhao Wenzhuo also fell silent. If they hadn't known about their daughter's temper, they would have suspected that her daughter had been bullied in school.

But his daughter has a temper like that of a small pepper. Let alone being bullied, even if she was choked, she would feel uncomfortable for a long time without choking. How could she be the kind of person who doesn't say anything when she is wronged?

Not to mention his wife, even a grown man like him felt so distressed when he saw his daughter just on vacation.

But even so, Zhao Wenzhuo still couldn't help but speak for his daughter in front of his wife: "She is still young, so it is normal that she does not understand some things. Doesn't this require the guidance of our adults? It happens to be a holiday, let us give it to her. Take care of her, if it really doesn’t work, take her to see the doctor some other time to see if he can prescribe some medicine. Then we can apply and soak her as much as we need, and everything will be fine."

"Huh, just speak for her. You see, she is quite obedient. She said she would not be allowed to run outside in the winter, and she promised well. In the blink of an eye, she was He ran away without a trace again.

Are you saying that I don't let her go out because of her? She doesn’t understand that if you don’t take good care of the frostbite in the first year, it will happen every year in the future. It’s so serious that it hurts whenever you touch water…”

Seeing that his uncle couldn't resist anymore, Zhang Yu hurriedly asked again: "Sister-in-law, how many eggs do you want?"

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang Guifang subconsciously replied: "Bring them all over."

Zhang Yu opened the egg cabinet and saw that there were about a dozen eggs in the basket. He turned to the kitchen and asked, "Sister-in-law, there are more than a dozen eggs in the basket. Do you want to take them all?"

His thoughts were interrupted one after another. Zhang Guifang didn't know how to continue nagging for a while. She could only glare at Zhao Wenzhuo who was relieved and then turned to shout outside the kitchen: "Bring them all."

Since my sister-in-law said she wanted to take them all, Zhang Yu didn't ask any more questions and just carried the basket with eggs in.

When handing the basket to Zhang Guifang, Zhang Yu asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, are you ready to scramble eggs?"

Zhang Guifang shook her head and put the eggs that Zhang Yu brought over into the basin to wash.

"Didn't you say last time that you liked the eggs stewed in the braised pork by your Uncle Wen? I thought since I'm braised pork today, I'd put a few eggs in it and stew it together so that you can enjoy it all at once."

As Zhang Guifang spoke, she quickly put the washed eggs into the small pot and cooked them.

"Sister-in-law, do you still remember?" Zhang Yu scratched his head for a long time before he remembered when he said this.

At that time, his younger uncle was injured and hospitalized. He took care of his younger uncle and had no time to go home for dinner, so he went to Chef Wen every day to buy food.

As the meal became more frequent, Chef Wen would leave a meal for him every afternoon.

One time, the thing he kept was braised pork. He especially liked the eggs in it. When he was chatting with Xiao Gu the next day, he said it casually. Unexpectedly, his sister-in-law took it to heart.

"Remember, how could I not remember? It's rare for you to say what you like to eat. How could I forget?"

Before Zhang Yu could be moved, Zhang Guifang waved him away: "The kitchen is just such a big place, and your uncle and I can't move around. Stop sitting here and go out to clean up the food." Go, let’s eat in a moment.”

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment when he was kicked out, but seeing that there was really nothing he could do to help, he hurried out and took the basket of eggs with him when he went out.

Looking at the empty basket, Zhang Yu was silent for a moment.

In the past two years, various supplies have been in limited supply. Eggs, which are synonymous with nutritional supplements, have even less supply on the market.

If you want to buy eggs, except for those shady ways, you can only buy them with the "Beijing Residents' Non-staple Food Purchase Certificate".

With the "Beijing Residential Non-staple Food Purchase Certificate", each household can buy one pound of eggs every month.

So even though those dozen eggs are inconspicuous, relying solely on supply, my sister-in-law would have to save for two or three months to save that much.

It’s all used up right now, let’s not mention next month, but my sister-in-law’s house probably won’t be able to eat eggs this month.

All of this stemmed from what he said casually. Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's heart felt very warm. It felt really good to be taken into consideration.

After wiping the table, Zhang Yu turned to look at the kitchen, which was not yet finished, and then walked out the door carrying the basket of eggs.

This time, he did not go out. Instead, he turned around and entered his home. After closing the door, he entered the secret space in a flash.

After entering the space, Zhang Yu first took a look around.

After such a long period of training, many animals in the space now no longer need him to worry about them all the time like they did at the beginning. After a long period of survival of the fittest, of course, those who were eliminated were not wasted. Those were all turned into dressed pork and entered the warehouse on the lower level of the space.

Except for the large white pigs whose IQs were slightly lower, the rest of the black pigs were tempered by time, and a leader pig appeared in each group.

After having the leading pig, Zhang Yu had a lot less things to do.

For example, when the pasture and vegetables in one place are exhausted, the leading pig will lead the population to the other side. After the pasture and vegetables in this place grow again, they will move back again.

Not only the pigs, but also the rest of the chickens, ducks, geese, etc. all came out as leaders.

The secret space is now in order, and Zhang Yu doesn't need to worry too much anymore.

In addition to putting his consciousness in every now and then to pick up the eggs laid by chickens, ducks and geese, the rest is naturally arranged by various leading animals.

Having said that, I have to talk about the sign-in system. Oh, no, the original sign-in function has been converted into a lottery function. Calling it a sign-in system is somewhat inconsistent with its name.

But no matter what, the system finally became a human for once. Well, that’s not right. The system is not a human in the first place, so we can’t say that it became a human for once.

Zhang Yu shook his head, trying to shake away the messy thoughts in his mind.

I don't know if it was because of the extreme situation, or if the system saw that it had tortured him to the point where he was relieved and satisfied, then it revoked the punishment and allowed him to draw the fragments of the secret space.

How do you describe this fragment?

Both useful and useless.

It did not continue to increase the area of ​​the secret space, but gave Zhang Yu the function of adjusting the flow rate between the secret space and the real space.

However, this function is indeed of some use to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was really surprised at the beginning by the huge difference in time flow rate between the secret space and the external space.

During that time, he spent almost every day in the space, trying every possible means to develop various functions of the space.

But humans are social animals and cannot do without interacting with others.

When a person is alone for a long time, he will feel lonely in his heart, so after the novelty wears off, Zhang Yu reduces the time he spends in the space.

Not to mention that Zhang Yu also has his own things to do on weekdays, and it is impossible to stare at the secret space all the time. Therefore, as time goes by, some uncontrollable things will inevitably occur.

For example, although Zhang Yu has killed many animals raised in the space, due to the excessive speed of time, the animals raised in it will still overflow from time to time. On several occasions, they even broke through the fence and destroyed the entire secret space. Gotta be a mess.

It's okay to look like a pig or something. No matter how many babies it has in one litter, there will still be some space in between.

The thing that scares Zhang Yu the most is rabbits. Even though he has released a batch of rabbits every once in a while, rabbits will still overflow in the space.

Compared with the consequences of the proliferation of pigs, the impact of the proliferation of rabbits cannot be underestimated.

The plants that were still gnawed bare and the secret space full of big and small holes were proof.

In order to clean up the secret space, Zhang Yu shipped goods several times during that period, causing quite a stir.

Zhang Yu had the secret space and system to rely on, so he was fine, but it muddied the waters of the black market.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu felt a little guilty.

Combined with the time of his shipment and the information he had only learned two days ago, Zhang Yu was very suspicious that the black market where he traded food for jade was forced to close because of an unreasonable disaster.

Zhang Yu looked up at the sky, not wanting to admit that it was his fault.

Although he didn’t know what impact it would have, after the shipment was shipped again, he saw with his own eyes that some people were fighting over that batch of goods. Zhang Yu did not dare to supply any more goods, and even the goods for Zheng Gouzi and the others were cut off. Yes, I'm just worried that someone would pick it up and touch it. After all, what comes out of his hands is much better than what's out there.

But the goods can't be shipped out, but we can't just watch them flood the space and torment his space.

Obviously, compared to those animals, the secret space bound to his soul, which may be opened in the next life, is more important.

So Zhang Yu was cruel and directly reduced the entire population by 80%, leaving only a few for breeding, and only two rabbits were left. The cleared meat filled the static space on the lower floor. of.

Since then, the things raised in the space have not been overrun again.

Since the fragment was returned to its place, Zhang Yu has gained the ability to automatically adjust the flow rate of space and time in the secret realm.

Except for the small hills, medicinal fields, and a small area where improved seeds are cultivated, Zhang Yu adjusted the flow rate to 2:1 with the outside world in all other places.

This will neither lead to an overrun of farmed animals too quickly, nor will there be a shortage of things.

In addition, each ethnic group now has a leader, which saves Zhang Yu a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, the sadness on Zhang Yu's face finally disappeared.

Now, except for growing some vegetables and grains that he eats every once in a while, he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

Although he has stored a lot of food, meat and eggs in the lower space, and knows that they will not spoil if placed there, Zhang Yu still prefers freshly picked eggs or freshly killed meat compared to those things. It always feels fresher.

Because he didn't want much this time, Zhang Yu didn't use his consciousness.

He carried the basket directly to the chicken coop and picked up a small half of the basket of eggs.

It's not that he doesn't want to give more to his sister-in-law, it's just that he can't find a good excuse. If he gives too much, his sister-in-law should be worried.

Even though Zhang Yu had controlled himself, Zhang Guifang still looked suspicious as she watched Zhang Yu sneak over half a basket of eggs.

Zhang Yu was so forced that he had to raise his hands and swear that he had never gone to the black market, and that his previous husband and wife had bought the eggs from their friends.

This dispelled Zhang Guifang's suspicion, but she was still not at ease about the origin of the eggs. She kept telling Zhang Yu to be careful and not to run around. If you really wanted to eat something, tell her and she would find a way to buy it.

　This year has been a sickly autumn for me. It was only a week since my last cold. To put it more accurately, it was just less than three days, and I started to cough gloriously again.

　　Yesterday, because I had a severe cough, when I went to the clinic to get medicine, the old doctor at the clinic looked at me differently.
