Yeya finally saw the eggs she was longing for and shouted: "There are so many, so good, you can eat them all."
Mu Shi picked up the eggs one by one with trembling hands and put them into the basket.
Ye Ya stood on the edge, counting one after another, getting more and more excited as he counted.
Lin Yan already knew how big the nest was, and her mental power swept through it, leaving nothing behind.
"Twenty-six, really twenty-six." Yeya was so excited that her voice rose, and her high-pitched voice made Lin Yan take a few steps away from him.
Mu Shi touched the eggs in the basket as if touching a supreme treasure, cautiously and with unconcealed excitement.
Lin Yan reminded with a smile, "There are more over there, let's go pick them up quickly."
Mu Shi held the basket and carefully opened the way. There was another nest of eggs a few steps away, and he picked it up excitedly.
As Yeya walked, she stared at the eggs in the basket with salivation. Counting the eggs in the second clutch carefully, there are eighteen.
"It was 26 just now, and there are 18 in this litter, so there are 44 in total. I'm so lucky today, I picked up so many eggs. Lin Yan, are there any more?"
His little face was filled with anticipation. Of course, the more eggs, the better, and if there were too many to finish, the better.
Lin Yan pointed in another direction, "There are a lot more over there, go pick them up quickly."
The three of them were walking around in this jungle, and their linen clothes were in tatters. Lin Yan thought that her clothes would be scrapped when she returned home.
I hope that the juma harvest will be good enough to make several linen clothes for her.
Mu Shi and Ye Ya kept making surprised sounds, but as more and more eggs piled up in the big basket, their excitement slowed down.
Lin Yan had calmed down a long time ago. He was really lucky today. He found the pheasant forest, and there were clutch after clutch of eggs, and he had as many eggs as he wanted.
She looked up at the sun and recalled the direction they had walked.
This forest is located southwest of where the first nest of pheasant eggs was found at that time, next to the pika and rabbit plains. It may be called pheasant forest.
The big basket was full, and they walked no more than thirty meters.
The harvest was full and the three of them returned home with a full load.
When she came out of the forest, she was shocked to see Mu Shi carrying a basket of wild eggs.
"Where did you pick this up? It's really all eggs."
Mrs. Bai tremblingly touched the eggs in the basket. They were as big as a child's fist and round and smooth. She liked them very much.
Lin Yan pointed the direction to Granny Bai thoughtfully, "There are a lot of wild eggs in the woods over there. Find someone to pick them up with you. Don't go in alone."
Mrs. Bai was part of a group, she lived on Third Street and was old and frail. She also heard others say that wild eggs are delicious, so she came out to try her luck.
I really didn't expect to bump into Lin Yan and the others, but they kindly pointed out the direction.
Mother Shui immediately went to find someone and was going to pick up eggs in the forest.
Yeya was unhappy and pouted: "Why tell others? When they all know, we won't be able to pick up the eggs."
Mu Shi also looked at Lin Yan, what did she think?
"Wild eggs are just a delicacy that has been passed down. None of them have eaten them. In the past few days, some people have gradually given up looking for them. We have picked up so many, which is enough to eat. The forest is so big that people are picking them up, and we are waiting for more people to try them. When you arrive, you will be more motivated to look outside.”
"Today's food is too simple. If you have delicious food, more people should know about it, so that everyone can live a good life. You see, there are so many people coming out these days, and a large area of the Pika Rabbit Plain has been flattened. Where there were no roads before, small roads gradually appeared. Human potential is unlimited, and one day we will get out of this world."
Mu Shi and Ye Ya didn't quite understand Lin Yan's thoughts, but it was indeed a good thing to allow more people to eat delicious food and increase the variety of food.
Lin Yan didn't force them. What she wanted to do was to enrich people's diet and make everyone realize that this world is rich in materials and start exploring outside.
The tribesmen are conservative in their thinking and will stick to one place without moving as soon as they have some food. If this continues, there will be no development.
Only by stimulating people's appetite can they stimulate changes in their thinking and slowly change their inherent concepts.
On the way back, I met three more people. The basket of eggs was so conspicuous that it caused a sensation.
Within half a day, word spread throughout the city that there were many wild eggs in the woods in the southwest, and people who had not dug ditches flocked there.
Without Lin Yan's special reminder, people spontaneously called it Pheasant Forest.
When she got home, there was a large basket of eggs. Lin Yan asked Mu Shi to keep most of them and give the remaining small portion to her family. She planned to give some to several neighbors.
Lao Hei, Lao Lin, Lin Yun and Mao Mu were all busy digging ditches and had no time to collect eggs. Twenty eggs for each family would be enough.
The big basket was very good at holding eggs. They picked up two hundred and twenty eggs, and Lin Yan divided them into one hundred.
In the evening, Huahong came back from digging a canal. When she saw the white eggs in the basket, she was surprised and said, "Where did they come from?"
Lin Yan recounted today's experience.
Huahong opened her mouth in shock, "There are really eggs all over the floor, just pick them up?"
She still couldn't believe it. This was simply sent to them by God. How could such a good thing happen?
Lin Yan gave the boiled wild eggs to Hua Hong and asked her to eat them first. "Auntie, it's true. Otherwise, where did these eggs come from? Everyone should know about it and pick them up. Every family should be able to eat them." .”
While Huahong was eating, she still couldn't believe such a beautiful thing, "I'll go take a look tomorrow morning."
"Auntie, digging the ditch is a big deal. You can go ahead after digging it."
"No, I'll get up early tomorrow and go to the pheasant forest first, without delaying digging ditches." Huahong still wanted to see it with her own eyes, because she didn't think it was real.
Lin Yan wanted to say something else, but Ye Zi came.
Then, Lin Yan didn't want to say anything.
Ye Zi and Hua Hong had the same idea. They both wanted to get up early and go to the pheasant forest. They wanted to pick up eggs themselves. They couldn't imagine the sight of eggs everywhere.
After a while, Lao Hei, Lao Lin, Lin Yun and Mao Mu also came, all thinking the same thing.
Lin Yan asked them to take the eggs home to eat. She still had them at home.
Ye Zi also brought some from home and gave some to Lao Hei and the others.
Lao Hei and the others happily returned with the eggs.
This night, every household was restless. After eating wild eggs, who could refuse?
Compared to hunting pikas, which requires more effort, collecting eggs can be done by anyone.
They were all waiting for dawn in secret, and immediately went to the pheasant forest to collect eggs. It would be even better if they could eat delicious eggs every day.
Wild eggs swept through the City of the Sun like a hurricane, and simple boiled eggs conquered everyone's hearts.
Wild eggs can be stored and boiled in water when you want to eat them. Such a perfect food is a must-have at home.
It's already the end of July, and the cold season is coming. It would be perfect if we could store some eggs.
With this in mind, many people didn't sleep well that night. They were too excited to sleep, thinking about coming back tomorrow with a basket of eggs.
Lin Yan felt that he still underestimated people's love for food. It was an obsession deep in their bones, and they wanted to put it into their own bowls to feel relieved.
