Lin Yan became more and more happy as he listened, "Are there really many people opening up wasteland?"
"Really, most of the land in the Pika Plain has been fenced off by various families. Those with a lot of people will fence large areas, and those with few people will fence the land together, and then divide it up."
"Auntie, our land is still short, and no one has opened up wasteland around here. Let's open up more of this area next year."
Lin Yan felt that two acres of land was not enough, and a small half of it was occupied by hairy chestnut trees. Once other suitable plants were discovered, it would be too late to plant without land.
Huahong said, "Why do you need so much land? Just grow roma. There are only two of us in our family, so we can't use so much roma. Nowadays, every household has roma, so there is no shortage of it."
She felt that each family could grow enough roe to be self-sufficient. Planting so much would be useless and not worth the effort to open up wasteland.
"Auntie, clear out the land first. When you find something else to plant, it will be too late if you don't have the land. Besides, juma is very useful, so it's always beneficial to grow more. I made the mazi paste and oil before , it will be of great use. When I go back in the evening, I will make fresh food for my mother-in-law."
"What do you want to eat?" Huahong is most interested in food.
The pockmarked sauce and oil are delicious when mixed with meat. Her family makes it every two days.
"Steamed eggs, topped with hemp oil, taste very different." Lin Yan also found this new way of eating from the science and technology museum.
In her previous life, she was addicted to scientific research and experiments, and lived a very unscrupulous life. She only ate as much as she could to satisfy her hunger. She ate most of all kinds of fast food to satisfy her hunger. Besides, the food eaten in that era was so processed that it was impossible to tell what the raw materials looked like. She could only think of boiling the eggs and eating them.
A few days ago, she entered room number 0101 and accidentally opened a book, which mentioned how to steam eggs, but she hadn't had time to try it yet.
It just so happens that today is an opportunity for grandma to try new food.
Huahong couldn't imagine what steamed eggs looked like, but she was looking forward to eating them. The movements of my hands were a little faster, and soon a big basket was filled with grass.
She picked up another basket and took Lin Yan to the pheasant forest.
Her house is next to a pheasant forest. It is very convenient to get there. It only takes ten minutes to walk there.
Lin Yan got excited and used her mental power to scan from time to time. She actually found several nests of eggs, which were all hidden in the grass and difficult to find.
Huahong happily picked up the eggs, but slowly realized something was wrong.
"Lin Yan, how do you know where there are wild eggs?"
It was obviously blocked by vegetation, but it was so far away that it couldn't be seen at all. Some of them can't be found even if you get closer without brushing aside the grass.
Lin Yan was stunned and had not thought about how to answer this question.
People in the tribe had long been accustomed to her difference, and she slowly let go.
But Hua Hong is not someone else, and you always have to ask clearly about your daughter’s differences.
"Auntie, I'm different from others, and you don't know it. If you insist on knowing, I'll tell you some time later."
Lin Yan suddenly thought that since she could cultivate spiritual power, others could too.
According to what she learned from Fat Bao, the stronger the mental power, the longer a person's lifespan will be.
She used to worry that people here would not live long, and in her short decades it was too unlikely to change the status quo and move towards a prosperous civilization.
But with the help of spiritual power, people's lifespan can be extended, and it is possible to create a brand new world.
If other people can also cultivate spiritual power, with everyone's joint efforts, it will be just around the corner for the Sun Tribe to leave this area.
A-niang asked this, and when her mental strength improved further, she asked her to practice as well to see if she could succeed.
Huahong was just over thirty years old now and was considered an old person in the tribe, but Lin Yan felt that she was still very young and had greater potential waiting to be tapped.
Huahong didn't ask any further questions. She already knew that her daughter was different since she was a child.
With Lin Yan's plug-in, today's harvest was very good. I picked up most of the basket of wild eggs in an hour.
It was time for lunch. Huahong took Lin Yan home with two large baskets, still looking forward to steamed eggs.
As soon as she got home, Hua Hong asked Lin Yan to tell her how to make steamed eggs, and she was ready to do it.
"Take two bowls, break the eggs, add some warm water, stir, and steam them in a clay pot. When they are steamed, take them out and pour some pockmarked oil on them."
Lin Yan watched Hua Hong operate and took a bowl to peel the pockmarked shells.
After the pockmark kernels are peeled out and mashed, there will be a mixture of pockmarked paste and oil. Now this condition can only achieve this step.
Looking at the clay pot on the fire, with its mouth open and some water inside, and a bowl placed inside, Lin Yan said, "Mom, this won't work. You have to cover the clay pot so that the heat won't escape."
Huahong looked at it and found a quick stone slab to cover it.
There were many clay pots at home, both large and small, but they were all open. Lin Yan patted his forehead and forgot to tell Lao Hei to burn the lids together.
It's okay to boil water with an open mouth, but it probably won't work with this steamed egg.
About half an hour later, the steamed eggs were ready, and Lin Yan added a few drops of oil from the pockmarked sauce.
Bright yellow, soft and tender, with a few drops of oil floating on it, you can't help but look at it.
Lin Yan looked at the steamed eggs that he had not seen for a long time. It was not easy to finally make something decent.
Huahong has never seen such food before. Even before it reaches her mouth, just looking at it makes her swallow her saliva.
"This is so beautiful." Hua Hong, who has never seen the world, a bowl of steamed eggs was completely beyond her knowledge. She never knew that it could be so delicious when eaten.
"Hey, grandma, come and have a taste."
Lin Yan smiled. Of course she knew that the steamed eggs would shock her mother-in-law.
In the past, all the food I ate was original, with most simply steamed meats. How could steamed eggs be so beautiful and impactful?
"Is it really edible?" Huahong didn't dare. It was so pretty that eating it felt like a kind of blasphemy.
"It's really edible. Mom, try it quickly." Lin Yan urged, "This is just a steamed egg, the simplest way to eat it. We will make more better-looking ones in the future."
Huahong picked out a little bit with chopsticks and took a bite. Her eyes immediately lit up, "It's soft and tender. It's completely different from boiled eggs. It's so delicious."
She brought a bowl over and gave her daughter a small portion.
Lin Yan took the bowl and ate it. It was really delicious. Maybe because the ingredients were better, the taste was much better than she remembered.
The mother and daughter ate a large bowl of steamed eggs with gusto.
Huahong said happily: "This sesame oil is well seasoned, and the steamed eggs are even more delicious. I will make more of them in the future."
"Yeah." Lin Yan nodded with satisfaction. This was the best she had ever tasted. It would be better if she could eat it more often.
After dinner, Huahong was busy washing the dishes and feeding the rats and rabbits. She walked to Lao Hei's house on her short legs.
Lao Hei had just finished his meal and was going to work at the kiln after taking a break.
"Lin Yan, come on, here are two boiled eggs for you to eat."
Lao Hei liked Lin Yan very much and wanted to give her anything good he could.
