Chapter 183

"Eggs? So?"

Li Sinian looked at his wife's surprised expression, a little confused. "Are you going to use eggs to make a cake? I think the kids will love it."

Among the supplies purchased this time, there are several bags of flour, which should be enough to last for a while.

Yan Ya shook her head and put away the box of 20 eggs like a treasure. After making sure there were no problems, she said, "If we finish eating all the eggs in this box, they will be gone. But what if chicks can be hatched?"

At breakfast, she was worrying about how to improve her children's diet.

Mengda Star is considered close to Prison Star, but it takes them a week to get there on a very fast military starship, and at least two or three months on an ordinary spaceship.

In other words, if they ordered supplies from Monda now and obtained transportation permission from the Star Alliance, it would take two or three months before they could get the new supplies.

Could the food they brought this time last that long? Obviously not.

In this case, we need to think of other solutions.

Yan Ya has seen a lot of vegetables and fruits in green spaces and along riverbanks. Although the variety is not rich, at least there is a stable source.

So what needs to be solved urgently now is meat.

"When the chickens grow up, they can lay eggs and can also be slaughtered. They are a very stable source of protein." Yan Ya looked at the eggs with her eyes shining.

As the marshal's wife, Yan Ya rarely cooks, but cooking is a skill she is proficient in. And now, because of the children's food problem, she actually started thinking about raising chickens...

Li Sinian felt a little complicated.

In the past, he would never have forgiven himself for letting his wife and children work so hard for a living, but now... there was really nothing he could do.

But thinking about it from another perspective, he hadn't seen Yan Ya so energetic and motivated in many years.

This kind of life...maybe it's not bad.

"Then do you know how to hatch eggs?" Li Sinian couldn't help asking as he looked at the box of eggs.

This question really stumped Yan Ya.

She had never raised chickens, let alone eggs... But she knew that hatching eggs definitely required specific conditions. If the requirements were not met, the eggs would go bad after being left for too long.

Yan Ya thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Do you think Jiujiu can hatch eggs?"

Come to think of it, they haven't seen that little tit since yesterday...

Li Sinian also thought of Xuewei's little pet, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. That little guy was not even as big as an egg, right?

"Let's check on Starnet and ask if the base has any relevant equipment?"

Although he thought it was unlikely that the base had a machine for hatching eggs, how would he know if he didn't ask? Or...

"Let's go ask a few breeders first?" Li Sinian suggested.

If chicks are really hatched in the future, they will need a place to be raised, and this requires the consent of the breeders.

Yan Ya nodded in agreement.

So, just as Su Ci was passing on the spiritual plant master's skills to the two cultivators, Li Sinian and his wife came over with a box of eggs.

After hearing their proposal, Su Ci also thought it was a good idea.

Although meat can be obtained through hunting, because they live in resentment for a long time, the prey often cannot be eaten directly and needs to be purified by soaking in a clean water pool.

This is a troublesome matter after all. If the human base has a stable supply of meat, Su Ci naturally cannot refuse.

And eggs are indeed a good ingredient.

Recalling the delicious food made with eggs in his memory, Su Ci nodded happily, then took the egg and handed it to A Yan, who had been silently accompanying him.

Seeing Su Ci's actions, Li Sinian and Yan Ya woke up. When did this breeder named Zhou Yan come here? Or has he always been here?

I don't feel any impression...

A Yan took the box of eggs with a smile and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll give it a try."

"Do you know how to hatch eggs?" Yan Ya asked curiously.

"I know a little bit." A Yan said, "Why don't we build a chicken coop first."

If all twenty eggs can be hatched, the size of the flock will not be small, and a place will need to be enclosed for the chicks to live.

The base is now filled with red fog. Although there are five small garlics that can help dispel the resentment, it will probably take some time to completely dispel it, so the chicken coop can only be built in the nursery.

Fortunately, there is space in front of the nursery building, so it can be built in the corner.

So when Luo Shengfei received the news from the nursery and rushed over via the teleportation platform with his teammates and materials, he still felt a little confused.

Breeder Su is finally no longer satisfied with planting and is now starting to embark on the path of breeding?

to be honest……

Luo Shengfei is quite looking forward to it!

You know, their food is much better now than before! The cubs can only eat nutritional jelly, don't they?

If you want to add a meal, you can only redeem it with points, but the food you redeem is rarely fresh, and it is really expensive and not tasty.

But it’s different now!

In the logistics department, there are now fresh fruits and vegetables every day. The most abundant one is Star Chain Fruit, and you can often see those of S+ quality.

Although we cannot guarantee that everyone will be supplied every day, on average, everyone can eat some green fruits and vegetables every day. If you are lucky, you can even eat high-quality Star Chain Fruit.

Luo Shengfei had eaten it two or three times, and the wonderful taste was so good that it made people want to swallow their tongue.

The biggest contributor to this incident wasn't the plantation, but the nursery...

Who would have thought that the small green space created by the nursery building could provide so many fruits and vegetables? Although some of them were also produced in the cultivation garden.

But after eating it a few times, Luo Shengfei could tell which ones were produced in the nursery and which ones were cultivated in the farm.

Especially the Star Chain Fruit, only those who eat it will know.

Now hearing that the nursery was actually planning to build a shed to raise chickens, Luo Shengfei was both surprised and expectant.

It was not possible to breed poultry locally in the past, mainly because the impact of pollutants was too great. Not to mention the problem of feed supply, it was difficult to ensure that these poultry could remain stable and not mutate.

After all, even humans need to purify themselves every once in a while, let alone these birds who have no intelligence and cannot control their emotions.

We can't have the already scarce number of purifiers purifying these birds every day, right? And if these animals mutate, it will cause a lot of trouble.

But now, these are no longer a problem.

With the garlicky smell of the mutated garlic to drive away the red fog, coupled with the powerful purification ability of breeder Su, and the green plants grown by the nursery, all conditions seem to be mature.

Then try raising some poultry, it is definitely feasible.

Luo Shengfei didn’t think about meat anymore, but…if the chicken coop was really built in the future, would he be able to eat eggs every day?

"Uncle Little Camel, what are you doing?"

As Luo Shengfei was imagining the future, the cheerful and lively voice of the little wolf cub rang out.

Luo Shengfei came back to his senses and looked at the cubs who were curiously looking around the shed. He couldn't help but smile and said, "We are here to build a chicken coop at the request of breeder Su."

Chicken coop?

What is that?

Almost all the cubs, including Xuewei, blinked in confusion, not knowing what he was referring to. Only the little wolf cub's eyes suddenly lit up.

He asked in surprise, "Does the nursery want to raise chickens?"

When he was in the pirate base, the pirate who adopted him raised a flock of hens for laying eggs. Cleaning the chicken coop and picking up eggs was one of his daily tasks.

He has been doing this since he was a child, he is very familiar with it!

Luo Shengfei looked at the wolf cub, a little surprised by his performance, but still shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. If you want to know the specific information, you have to ask Keeper Su."

"Okay then." Langze scratched his head, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he and his friends watched the maintenance team's work curiously.

The cubs today are no longer the "little monsters" they used to be, and the members of the maintenance team have also become familiar with these children.

The last time they built the greenhouse, they drank the tea prepared by the cubs, but this time they brought their own tea leaves or coffee powder and asked the children for water.

The water in the nursery really feels different from that in other places!

After drinking it again, they felt this more intuitively. Every maintenance worker was very grateful that they had grabbed the opportunity to work at the nursery this time.

Building a chicken coop is much easier than building a greenhouse, so naturally it doesn't require so many people. There are few places available, but many people want to come, so naturally there has to be a scramble for them.

The nursery has become a hot commodity now, with lots of people wanting to work here. Even if there are no other benefits, just looking at these well-behaved and cute cubs can heal their hearts that have been tormented for many years on this miserable prison planet.

Those who have seized the opportunity must of course cherish this rare time!

So in their spare time, they would find ways to make the cubs talk. Some of them were even more cunning and brought gifts to the cubs, making the children gather around them to ask for candy.

Being surrounded by these cute cubs with animal ears and tails, just seeing their bright smiles is such a happy thing.

Even if you spend a lot of points to exchange for candy, it is worth it!

Not to mention, even the adorable panda cubs crawled over and whimpered like the other cubs, asking for a candy.

The other maintenance team members who had nothing in their hands were extremely envious when they saw this situation, but they were not as well prepared as the others and could only cast hateful glances.

Such a hated guy should be put in a sack!

However, no matter how long they took, the chicken coop would eventually be built. When the maintenance workers were reluctantly preparing to leave, Rong Heng, who had been staying with his sister, appeared relatively calm and was unmoved by the temptation of candy, walked over from a distance.

He called out awkwardly, "Uncle Luo."

Rong Heng had been persecuted by the research institute and was hostile to other adults in the base. Changing his name to this could be considered a great improvement.

Luo Shengfei was quite touched when he heard that there was finally a cub that stopped calling him "little camel".

He squatted in front of Rong Heng, his voice unconsciously becoming hoarse as he said, "Your name is Rong Heng, right? What can I do for you?"

Hearing the voice that suddenly became sweet, Rong Heng felt a little annoyed. He couldn't help but take a step back, regretting that he had taken the initiative to talk to this person.

However, when he turned around and saw Lu Li, he pursed his lips and asked Luo Shengfei, "Do you need any fruit?"

"Fruit?" Luo Shengfei blinked.

"Yes, Star Chain Fruit." Rong Heng took one out from his spirit storage bag.

Before, when facing the two cultivators, he was careful to hide the existence of the spirit storage bag, but now he has figured it out.

With Su Su around, who would dare to steal their things? What's more...

Rong Heng glanced at the distance and saw Li Sinian and his wife looking at this side. After a pause, he looked away.

Although he still felt unfamiliar with them and couldn't quite accept their closeness, but... they still seemed to have some influence on him.

"Is this fruit... for me?" Luo Shengfei's voice was filled with emotion.

"No." Rong Heng said ruthlessly.

Luo Shengfei's expression changed, and he asked curiously, "So what you mean is..."

"If you want, you can exchange it." Rong Heng said.

This was the inspiration he got from Lu Li last time. Later, he also exchanged some things with the action team patrolling nearby, but now Su Su restricted his travel, so he naturally had to find another way.

"Okay, okay, what do you want to change?"

Although it was different from what Luo Shengfei had expected, this development was still surprising.

"I want two communicators." Rong Heng said.

Luo Shengfei suddenly felt embarrassed. "If we have two communicators, this fruit might not be enough..."

"How many do you want?"

So, the two of them discussed how many fruits could be exchanged for the communicator.

The marshal and his wife, who were watching from a distance, felt a little sad. The child had never thought of asking them for anything he wanted, but instead saved up his money to exchange for fruit...

Yan Ya wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Li Sinian.

"This is Xiangyang's choice, we must respect him." Li Sinian whispered.

Although this child is young, he has his own ideas.

Yan Ya also knew this, and in the end she could only stay where she was, watching Rong Heng and Luo Shengfei negotiate the deal, and then returned to her sister.

Although the young boy appeared calm, the excitement on his face showed his joy after completing the deal.

If this is what he wants, then as parents, they can only support it...

After the maintenance team left, A Yan carried the eggs into the shed and placed them one by one into the temperature control device.

Although this device is not specially designed for hatching eggs, with A Yan, the omniscient spirit of rules, there will be no other problems as long as the temperature can be adjusted.

After he set it up, he left the chicken coop temporarily.

The cubs immediately crowded into the shed. Fortunately, A Yan had considered this situation and built the shed big enough to accommodate so many cubs at once.

Even Ran Lie, who loves to show off, couldn't help but come in to watch.

Through the transparent glass, you can see eggs lying quietly in the warm light, which makes people feel warm in their hearts.

So, what emerges from these eggs? And what do the chicks, which are said to grow up to lay eggs, look like?

I heard it’s similar to Jiujiu?

So, when Jiujiu was brought out from the underground seal by Su Ci to get some fresh air, he was surrounded by the cubs.
