Qiaoer came out of the chicken coop happily holding two eggs.
She had never seen such a big egg before. She looked at the two eggs in her hand. One was a double yolk and the other was a single yolk.
Auntie told me that if the eggs were single yolk eggs, Grandma Hu would hatch the chicks, and if the eggs were double yolk eggs, she would eat them.
Yesterday, my aunt asked her to bring four double-yolked eggs to Grandma Hu and asked her to make egg soup to replenish everyone's health.
The egg soup was delicious. Grandma Hu also added a lot of young wild vegetables and cooked it in a big pot, and they drank it all.
Qiaoer ran to the makeshift kitchen and brought the single-yolk egg to her, "Grandma Hu, do you think this egg can hatch chicks?"
Grandma Maodan looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I will definitely hatch a chick for you."
Qiaoer gave her the double-yolk egg again: "Grandma Hu, this is a double-yolk egg. Auntie also asked me to give it to you."
"Okay, I'll put them away first, save a few more, and then I'll make egg soup for you to drink."
Qiaoer nodded obediently and sat at the door of the stove to help light the fire with Xiaoyan.
Everyone worked hard for a day before planting all the potatoes and sweet potatoes.
More than 100 kilograms of sweet potato seedlings were planted on almost five acres of land. Potatoes were planted on about one acre, and next to them were sorghum planted by everyone.
Looking at the newly planted acres of land, everyone is full of expectations. If they can harvest some food in the fall, they will not have to worry this year.
They had made a lot of brick embryos during this period, and they were almost done. Yongchang and Wencai were ready to start building a house.
Although the two of them are not very good at building houses, country people know a little bit about everything, so a few mud houses will not be a problem for them.
Mantang helped them with chores, and several women and children continued to make bricks.
Li Yunze was going to go out for a walk to see if he could catch some prey and come back for a meal.
Ye Yutong took a big knife and said, "I'll go with you." Then he said to Li Wenxiu, "Mom, Ping An and I will go out for a walk."
"Then you two must pay attention to safety." Li Wenxiu warned.
"I know, mother."
When the two of them walked to the door, Ye Yutong shouted again: "Eldest brother, second brother, how about you two go together?"
The brick embryo was almost done. Without so many people, Ye Yutong was going to let his eldest and second brothers go into the space to see the sheep.
Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe understood what their sister meant, washed their hands and followed her out.
When the whole hall closed, he looked at them with envy, and he wanted to follow the master out.
But he had to help build a house and couldn't leave. Who asked him to do anything? This family cannot live without him.
After leaving the valley, Ye Yutong said: "Eldest brother, second brother, I think that sheep may be giving birth to a lamb? You two go in and have a look."
"Then take us quickly. Yesterday, my mother said that the sheep might be giving birth. Let us take a look when we go in tonight. We didn't expect it to be so soon." Ye Mingxuan said anxiously.
Ye Yutong pulled the two brothers' sleeves and entered the space. After sending the two of them in, she came out.
"Peace, which way are we going?"
"Go east. The last time I went out to cut down trees, I saw traces of prey activity over there."
"Okay." Ye Yutong glanced at him and chatted: "Ping An, you are so good at martial arts. Have you started practicing since you were a child?"
"Started at the age of two."
Li Yunze thought for a while and then said: "Tongtong, after the house is built, I will start teaching my eldest brother and the others to practice martial arts. You should also learn a few moves by then!"
Ye Yutong hesitated for a while and asked him: "Is it hard to learn martial arts? You have to get up early and go to bed late every day, and you can't sleep in in the winter?"
Li Yunze paused for a moment, do you want to tell the truth? From what this girl says, she won't learn if it's hard.
But in today's troubled times, if you don't work hard, you can only be a lamb to be slaughtered.
They can't stay on the mountain forever. Even if they save salt, they will only have enough to last until next year. I will definitely have to go down the mountain by then.
This girl will definitely follow. When the house is built, she must be taught martial arts.
He remembered the way Tongtong's eyes shone when he used Qing Kung last time, and he smiled and said:
"It's not too hard. If you don't want to get up early, you can practice during the day. I'll teach you a few simple Qing Gong moves. If you encounter danger, don't fight with others, just use Qing Gong and run away."
Ye Yutong's eyes lit up after hearing this. She asked with interest, "Is it easy to practice Qing Gong? Can anyone learn it?"
Li Yunze twitched the corner of his mouth and said in an evasive manner: "It's much easier than practicing martial arts."
"Okay, I want to learn."
Ye Yutong, who came from modern times, is now imagining that he has learned Qinggong and is flying around in the sky.
She didn't pay attention to Li Yunze's expression at all. When she realized how difficult it was to practice Qing Gong, she realized that this guy had set a trap for her.
The two of them were holding big knives and pulling weeds on the road as they walked. There was no human habitation here and it looked like a primeval forest, but this path also looked like someone had walked on it.
Li Yunze guessed that it should be the traces left by the herbal collectors.
After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Ye Yutong took out two melons from the space.
Li Yunze had just taken a bite when he heard the grunt of a wild boar. He turned around and saw two wild boars, one large and one small, preparing to attack them.
He took Ye Yutong's arm and flew to the tree on the tip of his toes.
Put Ye Yutong on the tree trunk, finish the melon in a few mouthfuls, then come down with a big knife to fight the two wild boars.
Calling it a fight, Ye Yutong felt that Li Yunze wiped the necks of two wild boars in just a split second.
Smelling the strong smell of blood, she hurriedly said: "Ping An, take me down quickly. We must put away the two wild boars quickly, just in case we attract other large prey."
Although Li Yunze is not afraid of any large beasts, these two wild boars are not small and can last them enough to eat for a while. The weather is hot now, and the meat cannot be kept for a long time. They can only come out to hunt after eating.
Now let’s take Tongtong somewhere else. This girl likes to collect medicine and dig ginseng. She has been busy working in the fields during this period and has not taken her out to find it.
Ye Yutong was brought down from the tree by him and quickly received the two big wild boars into the space.
Li Yunze buried the blood on the ground with a shovel, and the two left there.
Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe in the space were carrying a large basket of apples back to the small courtyard when they suddenly found two wild boars lying by the stream with blood on their necks.
The two were startled, and then realized that their sister and brother-in-law should have hunted this outside.
The two put down the basket of apples and walked over to take a look. Ye Mingzhe said excitedly: "Brother, my sister and brother-in-law are really amazing. They killed such a big wild boar."
Ye Mingxuan nodded, "It's very impressive. Without my brother-in-law, our family might not be able to get here."
He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said: "Mingzhe, after the house is built, we will practice martial arts with my brother-in-law. We can help him to share the burden in the future. We can't let him protect our family alone."
Ye Mingzhe said happily: "Brother, I like to practice martial arts the most. I will definitely learn from my brother-in-law and become a top master in the future. Then I will dominate the martial arts world and let others call me Ye Daxia."
Ye Mingxuan slapped him on the head, "What are you daydreaming about? I haven't even started practicing yet, but I already want to dominate the martial arts world. See what you can do, and take the apple back quickly."
Ye Mingzhe touched his head and let out an unconvinced "hum".
Carrying the big basket of apples, he followed his elder brother, mumbling and wondering what he was talking about?
