Twelve pheasant eggs, white and pure, are lovely to look at.
Lin Yan's hands trembled slightly with excitement. She never thought that one day she would be so excited about an egg.
The hardship of life is really beyond imagination.
But it has to be said that in order to survive, her ability to adapt has become stronger and stronger.
I spent more than two years eating unpalatable, tasteless meat and wild fruits every day.
Is this just a nest of wild eggs? Of course not. This is the motivation for her to move forward and gives her hope for tomorrow.
Once again, she was sure that there were abundant supplies in this wilderness, just waiting for her to discover them.
The three of them carefully picked up the wild eggs and put them in the basket of grass.
The excitement calmed slightly, Lin Yan used his mental power to explore, and found nothing more, so he followed Mu Shi back to the ground.
"Go home, go home quickly." Yeya kept urging.
Mu Shi packed up the canes, picked up the basket, and said with a smile: "I'll be back soon, don't rush it. The eggs are right there, why are you in a hurry."
"I want to eat it quickly. Dad, don't you want to eat wild eggs?"
Looking at Ye Ya, he could no longer suppress his greed. Lin Yan couldn't stop laughing, but she was actually a little impatient.
Lin Yan sighed after straightening the linen pants that were torn by thorns. She didn't even notice when the pants were torn, leaving a few scratches on her legs.
She was so excited just now, she said with a smile: "Mu Shi, wild eggs are very delicious, you will definitely miss them after eating them."
Mu Shi looked at the round egg, "How do you eat this? Is it really that good?"
"It's very delicious." Lin Yan was very sure. "Poach the eggs in water, peel off the shell and eat them. You can also fry them. Unfortunately, you don't have an iron pot. When you have one in the future, you will know how delicious it is. .”
The scrambled eggs that were once so common, Lin Yan swallowed unconsciously whenever he thought about them, it was becoming easier and easier to satisfy him.
When he got home, Lin Yan asked Yeya to boil water in a clay pot and counted five eggs and put them in.
The two of them stared at the clay pot.
"When can we eat it?" Yeya's dark little face was sweating from the fire. He seemed to be unable to feel the heat and just wanted to eat the eggs in his mouth quickly.
Lin Yan was also anxious, "Just wait until the water boils and cook for a few more minutes. Take a bowl and pour cold water into it. Once the eggs are cooked, put them in and let them cool down before peeling them off."
Ye Ya went immediately.
He took the hot eggs out of the clay pot one by one and put them in a bowl with cold water. After they were no longer hot, Lin Yan took one out and gave it to Yeya, "Eat it quickly, look at how greedy you are."
Yeya took the egg and immediately started peeling it without even thinking about talking.
Lin Yan also caught one for himself, quickly cracked the eggshell and peeled it off neatly.
Yeya peeled it off first, but while he was still struggling with the eggshell, Lin Yan's had already been peeled off.
Lin Yan ignored him, looked at the long-lost egg white, took a small bite, and was instantly satisfied.
The soft and slippery feeling was so far away from me.
The wild sprouts were finally peeled off and stuffed into his mouth. The texture was smooth and it felt like nothing he had ever tasted before. His eyes widened. It was so delicious.
He took another big bite and was busy swallowing.
"belch……"
Lin Yan hurriedly handed him a glass of water, "Drink some water quickly. I ate in a hurry and choked."
When he recovered, Ye Ya was sweating profusely and his face was burning. Fortunately, his face was too dark to be seen. He scratched his head and chuckled, "It's so delicious. I've never eaten such good food."
"It's delicious. Come on, I'll give you another one." Lin Yan looked at the remaining two, and she took them to Mu Shi.
Mu Shi worked hard to find the egg today.
Mu Shi dubiously followed Lin Yan's instructions and peeled off the egg shells. After taking a bite, he couldn't stop anymore, and the two eggs were gone in a few mouthfuls.
Lin Yan squatted aside with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Mu Shi nodded and praised, "It would be great if I could eat it in the future."
"You can eat it if you want." Lin Yan smiled very kindly.
"Do you have any idea?" Mu Shi became interested. The risk of stuttering was worth it.
In fact, the people of the Sun Tribe all think so in their bones. The thoughts passed down from generation to generation are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Food is the most important thing.
Lin Yan nodded his little head and said, "You saw it today. Wild eggs are found in the jungle. As long as there is a nest, there must be more. If you want to eat, go find them in the jungle."
"It's not easy to find them. They're all hidden under the grass and you can't see them at all." Mu Shi thought about the difficulty of picking up eggs today. It was very difficult to find a nest of eggs.
"Just take me with you. Wherever I walk, I will know if there are wild eggs."
Mu Shi came back to her senses. This was her purpose, and she quickly refused: "No, it's too dangerous outside, and you're too young to go."
"As long as you are with me, I will be obedient and not run around." Lin Yan promised obediently, "Besides, you really don't want to eat such delicious eggs anymore?"
Mu Shi hesitated, the temptation of the egg was too great. It tastes better than meat. It would be a shame if we could never eat it again.
I didn't know there was such a delicious food before, but now that I've tasted it, it's hard to resist.
Lin Yan kept up his efforts: "In addition to boiling wild eggs, there are other ways to make them more delicious. The little pockmarked oil I made, when we have more eggs, we can fry them with oil and they will be more delicious. .”
Lin Yan didn't plan to fry the remaining seven wild eggs. He wanted to share them with several neighbors so that everyone could have a taste.
In a few days, most people in the city should know the deliciousness of wild eggs, and more eggs will be found by then.
People in the tribe never eat eggs of any kind, either because they haven’t encountered them or because they don’t know how to eat them.
As a delicacy in the human diet, eggs are rich in nutrients and play a decisive role.
After eating wild eggs, will other eggs be far behind?
Mu Shi didn't give Lin Yan a clear answer. He wanted to wait until Ye Zi came back and asked before looking at it.
Lin Yan was not disappointed either, it was as expected. She boiled the remaining seven eggs and waited for Hua Hong and the others to come back.
In the evening, people who went to dig ditches on Eighth Street came back one after another. As soon as Huahong walked in, he was pulled to the kitchen by his daughter.
Looking at the smooth egg in his hand, Huahong still hadn't come back to his senses, "Is this really edible?"
"Mom, eat quickly."
Out of trust in her daughter, Huahong took a big bite without hesitation, her eyes immediately lit up, and she swallowed it in a few bites.
Looking at the remaining eggs, Huahong reached out to get them.
As a result, she was stopped by chubby little hands, and she said in surprise: "Can't eat it?"
"Yes, Aniang, this is for Ye Zi, Mao Mu and the others, one for each of them. Let everyone have a taste. Let's give it to them now."
Huahong counted carefully, "There are only six, Ye Zi, Mao Mu, Mao Pozi, Lao Hei, Lao Lin, Lin Yun, exactly six."
"Mom, when I find eggs later, I'll leave a few more for you." Lin Yan said as he was about to go out with the pottery bowl containing the eggs.
Huahong hurriedly followed, took the bowl and held it herself.
