Chapter 24 Dad’s Envy

The villagers in Wangxie Village all envied Xie Qun and thought he had given birth to a pair of good sons.

Xie Fugui and Luo Jinlian were naturally envious.

Of course, Xie Fugui and Luo Jinlian were envious at first because Xie Qun's sons had become successful.

And he only has two daughters. After all, in their generation's concept, sons belong to their own family, while daughters will one day belong to other people's families.

No matter how envious Xie Fugui and Luo Jinlian were, they would never show it, but it was different now. Xie Jingyan gave them a chance to show off.

Skipping a grade, this has not happened in Wangxie Village for a long time.

Skipping a grade is not something you can just talk about. Unless you are someone who is truly gifted in learning, most teachers will not allow you to skip a grade.

And Xie Jingyan is only in the first grade, and has not passed even one semester. He can skip to the third grade. Regardless of what the future will bring, for now, relying on this, he can let Xie Fugui and Luo Jinlian play for a long time.

Although it was certain that Xie Jingyan would go to the third grade, he had not yet gone, so Xie Fugui and Luo Jinlian did not tell too many people, but only talked about it at Luo's house.

After hearing this, Mr. Luo Qi recited the Immortal Wo Buddha directly: "Great, you guys have survived this."

Xie Fugui's rough face was flushed with excitement: "I never thought that Erniu would give me such a boost."

"Okay, two girls, let's do our best. I'll make braised fish for everyone tonight." Luo Qishi waved his hand.

"This fish was caught by Abu yesterday. I originally wanted to wait for you to come and eat it together, but I didn't expect that you all happened to come over today, so I will eat it today." Luo Qi said with a smile.

Luo Bu also said: "It happens that the salted duck eggs pickled last month are also ready to eat. Let's steam them and eat them together later."

Luo Shang didn't go out today: "Why don't I go get some more dead eggs?"

Not far from Luo's house, about a five- to six-minute walk, there is a livestock farm that dumps out many dead eggs that cannot be hatched every day.

The so-called dead eggs are those ducklings and chicks that have formed but cannot break out of their shells and die.

Later generations will call these live beads, but now they just call them dead eggs, because the eggs can only be eaten when they are dead. Otherwise, the eggs in the livestock farm are all public, and who can pick them up and eat them privately.

These will become a delicacy in later generations, but now, few people eat them.

However, there are some who are good at this, such as Luo Shang, who will go inside and take out the freshest eggs. These eggs are still very delicious for those who like to eat them.

If you're lucky, you might even find live eggs.

The roosters that the Luo family raises today are hatched from live chickens taken out of dead eggs.

Of course, most of these live chickens are roosters. Nowadays, when raising chickens, there are basically many hens and only one rooster is enough.

This is why some eggs are obviously alive and can still hear the cry, but they are thrown away by the livestock farm.

Nowadays, people who raise chickens like to raise hens, but don't like to raise roosters. Roosters have no other function except eating meat.

The Luo family couldn't afford any chickens, so they simply raised roosters. Anyway, chickens are still delicious during the Chinese New Year.

"Uncle, I'm going too." Xie Jingyan actually liked this era very much.

In her previous life, she was weak and her uncle Luo Shang often took her out to play. Now that her health is better, she can better experience this kind of life.

"Okay, let's go. My uncle will go get the ball cage and then carry you with him." Luo Shang is only eighteen years old this year, which is when he likes to make trouble the most.

"Okay, if that's the case, you go ahead and bring over some extra money. I'll make a baby for Ana then." Luo Qi's craftsmanship is pretty good.

The so-called chicken lamb is to peel out the chickens and ducks inside the dead eggs, and then continue to simmer it over low heat until the meat has melted. Then use gauze to filter out the impurities, set it aside to cool, and finally it becomes a transparent paste almost like pig skin jelly.

Chicken body, whether it is chicken stew or duck stew, is collectively called chicken lamb.

It is said that this is very nutritious.

Now that her aunt Ana is pregnant with her second child, she needs to supplement her nutrition, so Luo Qi thought of making some chicken and lamb to supplement her.

"Okay, then I'll pay more." After Luo Shang said that, he tied the ball cage around his waist and went out with Xie Jingyan on his back.

Here, eighteen years old is already an adult. Although Luo Shang is less than 1.8 meters tall, he is still about 1.75 meters tall. It would take others five or six minutes to walk, but he can reach it in just over three minutes.

The head of the land.

The livestock farm is built near a river. To enter the livestock farm, you must either go around the opposite road, or directly enter the back door through a wooden bridge here.

If you go through the back door, you must know someone before you can get in.

Luo Shang obviously knew the doorman in charge of the back door: "Brother Ahua, open the door." Luo Shang shouted towards the window.

The person looking at the back door was a young man, but he looked a little older than Luo Shang. When he saw Luo Shang, he smiled slightly and said, "Ah Shang, here you go again." He came over and opened the back door.

Luo Shang hummed: "My niece's family is here. I'll take some out and add some vegetables to them. Do you have any fresh ones?"

"Well, the second pile in front is what I took out today. You can tell by the sound. Go and dig it out yourself." Ah Hua pointed to the piles of eggs in front with a smile.

In fact, these piles of eggs are all close to the river, and there is a pier on the river. Usually when there are too many dead eggs here, there will be ships to take them away. It is said that they are used as fertilizer.

Despite Ah Hua's straightforward words, he asked Luo Shang to find it on his own. If he didn't know someone, he wouldn't be allowed in.

Even if you don't want these things, they are still public property. If anyone can pick them up, no one knows the consequences.

However, Ahua and Luo Shang have known each other for a long time. Although Ahua is four years older than Luo Shang, they have been playing together since childhood.

Ah Hua came here to work as a guard because Ah Hua learned to read from Luo Zhongfa.

Ah Hua's family was in a poor family and could not go to school. When Luo Zhongfa was here, he taught Ah Hua how to read. It is precisely because of this that Ah Hua has the job he has today.

Luo Shang knew that this damn egg could be eaten, and it was Ah Hua who told him.

Because Ahua heard an old Chinese medicine doctor say in the livestock farm that good dead eggs are actually no worse than the traditional Chinese medicine Ziheche, and the nutrition is quite good.

Back then, Ah Hua suffered from migraines due to lack of nutrition. He was cured after eating dead eggs twice.

Ah Hua tried it himself and it worked, so he told Luo Shang.

Ah Shang didn't dare to pick more at first, so he picked five. After going home and cooking them, he ate them separately and found that they tasted really delicious.

And there are many ways to eat it. You can cook it directly, eat it authentically, or you can stir-fry it and add some garnishes.

Anyway, it adds a delicious dish to the dining table at home.
