The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

The villagers chatted excitedly along the way, and when they arrived at the power distribution room and saw the incubator, they had another long discussion.

These items were previously handled by Chuan Yatou and Master Xiong. They said that there were electrical wires and cables behind them, which was very dangerous, so everyone usually avoided this area and would just take a peek from afar after washing up.

This is the first time I've had such a close-up look at these appliances as a group.

"Just take a look, don't touch it. Safety is the most important thing." Xiong Bo and Qiao Chuan stood aside, watching everyone inspect the results of their work over the past few days.

"Wow, so many eggs!" Old Sun exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the three rows of white, plump eggs behind the two glass doors.

Niu Cuihua circled the incubator: "This box can hatch chicks? There's no dry hay inside, and it doesn't look warm at all. And what are those colorful symbols on that black square outside?"

Qiao Chuan offered a simple explanation: "Grandma Cuihua, these symbols are temperature and humidity indicators. This box simulates the environment when a hen incubates eggs, controlling the temperature and humidity just like placing the eggs under the hen. We don't understand the specifics of how it works; it's not explained in the instruction manual."

"These were all devised by the clever people of that area; this is the first time we've used them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft buzzing sound suddenly came from inside the machine.

"Shh! The egg is about to be flipped." The village chief, who had been watching the egg inside, noticed the change in the machine immediately and quickly signaled everyone to be quiet.

Everyone immediately quieted down and quietly lined up in front of the glass box, their curious eyes fixed on the inside.

The egg tray began to slowly tilt to one side, and the round hatching eggs on the shelf slowly rolled to one side with a very small amount of movement. After rolling to the limiting groove, it paused for a short while, and then the egg tray slowly and gently rolled back to its original position.

"Hey! It moved!"

"The egg really did roll over by itself, like a hen turning it over with its claws."

"That's a slow, leisurely pace, even more meticulous than a mother hen!"

The villagers huddled together, heads close together, murmuring in amazement. They dared not shout, for fear of disturbing the eggs inside the machine.

As the sun gradually set in the west, the sky changed from blue to orange.

The villagers sat in the courtyard, working non-stop. When they got tired, they would lean back on the soft, comfortable sofas to rest for a while, and occasionally chat about the impressive machines they had seen earlier.

Ji Chuntao, Xinghua, Granny Liu, and Grandma Zhao took advantage of the afternoon to quickly make two three-layered bamboo food boxes.

Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, it couldn't be made particularly exquisite. The overall frame of the food box uses a mortise and tenon structure, and is finely woven from freshly split green bamboo strips, which still have a faint bamboo fragrance. It is square and neat, with layers upon layers, and a bamboo handle is curved out at the top. The gripping part of the handle is wrapped with fine bamboo strips, and all the burrs have been polished clean.

Each floor can hold about eight "mountain and sea" figurines, excluding the oddly shaped artworks made by the little ones.

"Nannan, take this and carry it. It will be much more convenient to distribute it to the customers and Xiulian and the others when we go to the shop later. There is soup inside the mountain sea dumplings, and it is not suitable to put them in small plastic bags because they will be easily crushed. Auntie knows that you have space, but it is not convenient to take them out of the small bag, so I quickly wove two food boxes with Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhao, and Xinghua." Ji Chuntao carefully placed the mountain sea dumplings one by one into the food box with wooden clips and closed the lid.

Then I took two more small square wooden boxes.

"This little box is for storing the mountain and sea dumplings you made. The food will stay warm and won't get crushed inside, and it will also keep your secret."

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I originally thought of using a woven bamboo frame to store it, but I felt it wouldn't look good or keep it warm, so I simply asked your Grandma Zhao and Sister Xinghua to help me make it. Luckily, we made it in time."

Ya Ya tiptoed and opened the lid of a food box. Inside, there was a clean, fine cloth lining the box, which was soft and had a semi-transparent little bag underneath. It looked delicate and clean.

Her eyes lit up immediately. She reached out and gently stroked the smooth, fine bamboo surface, her eyes curving into two small crescent moons, revealing two rows of tiny white teeth. "Wow! It's so beautiful! Aunt Chuntao, Grandma, you've thought of everything so thoughtfully. Thank you for your hard work! I'll take this over with me later!"

……

At the entrance of Huaya Shop.

Zhao Haohao leaned against the door frame, peering outside, wondering who would be the first to arrive today—Zhou Zihan or Xie Yuan?

Just as they were looking around, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared from around the corner.

Zhao Haohao's eyes lit up. Wow, Sister Ya changed her clothes again, but what kind of outfit is this?

He stared at Ya Ya in the distance. She was wearing dark blue jeans, and under her shirt, she seemed to be wearing a white sweater. Over the white sweater, she was wearing a rainbow-striped cardigan that her mother had bought for her, with the buttons fastened neatly. The two layers of sweaters were bulging on her body, and on the very top layer, she was wearing the oversized dark blue work uniform that she had worn when she first met Ya Ya.

Ya Ya was carrying a large square box in each hand and a backpack that she had given herself on her back.

"Sister Ya! Let me help you carry them!" Zhao Haohao ran over quickly, took the two large food boxes from Ya Ya's hands, which were quite heavy.

"What delicious food is in here? It smells amazing!" Zhao Haohao said, his nose twitching as he walked.

Cao Xiulian opened the shop door and secured it: "Come in quickly, come in quickly. What did you bring today? Why are there so many boxes?"

"Auntie, good morning! This is a delicious dish made from the small fish and shrimp we caught yesterday! Please wait a moment, I'll bring you the portion I made especially for you."

The aloof Uncle Zhao put the thermos aside and left without a word. Cao Xiulian and her son were used to Uncle Zhao's behavior and just stared at Ya Ya as she rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a wooden box.

"Look, this is what Xiao Shuanzi, Xiao Douzi, and I made. It's so delicious!" Ya Ya reached out and lifted the lid of the small wooden box.

"Holy crap, a tender beef slab and a giant meatball?" Zhao Haohao shrank back, his eyes wide.

"What's this 'Five-Sided Beef'? This is called 'Mountain and Sea Dumpling.' The flat one was made by Xiao Shuanzi, and the big one was made by me! I was worried that Brother Zhao and Auntie wouldn't have enough to eat, so I stuffed it with lots and lots of filling!"

As she spoke, Ya Ya picked up the box.

"Waaah, my sister Ya really thinks of us. She gives us big portions of food, and the filling in here is really generous." Zhao Haohao took the wooden box with a touching expression, and didn't forget to take one and hand it to Cao Xiulian first: "Mom, you have to try it."

"Oh, right, Auntie, the incubator Grandpa Zhang bought for our village is already in use. Uncle Xiong said it will hatch more than two hundred chicks in a month!"

"Oh my, that's great news! Now we can finally enjoy authentic free-range chicken!"

Zhao Haohao, who had just finished slurping up the soup in the giant meatball version of Shan Hai Dou, heard what Sister Ya said and his eyes lit up: "More than two hundred chickens? Sister Ya, do you know that there are eight billion people in the world, but there are two hundred and sixty-eight billion chickens! If the chickens decide to go to war with humans, there are three chickens in some corner of the world that you need to deal with. They are in the dark, and we are in the light."

The thought of being surrounded by three chickens made Ya Ya take a small step back: "Oh my god, that's scary! What should I do?"

Zhao Haohao grinned mischievously, lowering his voice mysteriously, "But today is Crazy Thursday. Give me 50 V's, and I'll help you kill enemies—it's my duty!"
