Su Yun'er asked a total of ten questions, and Mei Ya'er answered them very well.

"You've got it pretty good in just over a day. Here, eat." Su Yun'er pushed the plate towards Mei Ya'er.

When Mei Ya'er received the white steamed bun as a reward, she carefully held it in both hands, looking at it from left to right, and didn't know how to start eating it.

Seeing how reserved she was, Su Yun'er lay back down on the recliner, covered her face with a book, and pretended to sunbathe and sleep.

With her eyes closed, Su Yun'er heard a faint sound of eating beside her.

After Meiya finished eating, Su Yun'er continued to teach her.

Mei Ya'er studied very diligently. Su Yun'er discovered that although she didn't know many characters and couldn't take many notes, she had already figured out her own method of taking notes, using a brush to draw some strange symbols on blank paper.

As a teacher, Su Yun'er felt somewhat proud and gratified.

At lunchtime, apart from Lin Xiaolan who stayed at the Chen family's house for lunch, all the other children went home. Lin Moniang was busy at the shop and didn't have time to take care of Lin Xiaolan's lunch.

Su Yun'er and Xiao Shu were in charge of cooking in the kitchen, while Xiao Cao and Lin Xiao Lan were cleaning the yard.

"Mom, what are we having for lunch?" Xiaoshu asked, tending to the firewood in the stove.

Su Yun'er now needs to use a cane to make her unable to cook complicated dishes.

"Let's cook some noodles," Su Yun'er said.

I have hand-pulled noodles prepared in advance at home. I make a lot at once, spread the noodles out on bamboo strips to dry, and store them easily.

I took four bowls and added a spoonful of lard, some light soy sauce, a little dark soy sauce, a little balsamic vinegar, and some chopped green onions to each bowl.

The scallions were naturally chopped by Xiaoshu under Su Yun'er's direction.

Boil the noodles in boiling water. When you take the noodles out, use the hot noodle soup to dissolve the seasoning in the bowl first, then put the noodles into the bowl. A simple bowl of pork lard soup noodles is ready.

The lard was rendered by Su Yun'er herself; it was snow-white and had a wonderful aroma.

Prepare some side dishes and sausages, and you have a simple yet hearty lunch that the three of us enjoyed very much.

During her lunch break, Su Yun'er asked Xiaoshu and Xiaocao to prepare water for her to wash her feet.

She soaks her feet every day in hopes that her ankle will heal soon.

A few more days passed, and her ankle recovered well; the swelling had almost completely subsided.

"I didn't expect that even with the help of the spiritual spring water, it would still take so many days. It seems that this injury is quite serious." Su Yun'er muttered to herself.

Although the swelling in my ankle has completely subsided, I still can't walk normally without a cane.

It was morning, and the study was filled with the sound of children reading aloud.

Today, Su Yun'er taught Mei Ya'er some arithmetic and gave her some problems to check her work. Then she leaned to the side, covered her face with a book, and pretended to sleep, but actually went to work in her space.

After being fed and cared for for several days, the ducklings had grown noticeably larger and heavier. If Su Yun'er randomly selected a duck, it would display information such as its age, weight, and maturity level.

Su Yun'er looked at the 12% maturity level with dissatisfaction.

"When will I be able to eat duck eggs?!"

Su Yun'er checked the duck feed and, sure enough, the feed could be exchanged for higher quality varieties with points, which could improve the ducks' growth rate and egg production.

Su Yun'er, with tears in her eyes, exclaimed: "How heartless!"

She really couldn't wait to eat duck eggs. Compared to buying them with money in the real world, exchanging points for high-quality feed in the game... well, she'd give it a try.

Su Yun'er spent another two thousand points to exchange for some high-quality feed.

A system notification popped up: [First-time redemption of premium feed grants a free rapid growth trial.]

After the prompt ends, a cutscene shows that premium feed has replaced regular feed. The ducklings swarm forward and begin to eat the premium feed. After eating, each duckling seems to be under a spell, rapidly swelling up and maturing in a second.

The mature female ducks have already started lining up to lay their eggs in the nest.

In just a few minutes, Su Yun'er had collected more than fifty duck eggs!

After happily storing the duck eggs, Su Yun'er immediately used the fermentation machine to make a batch of preserved eggs and salted duck eggs.

The reason why Su Yun'er was so eager to eat the duck eggs produced in the space was not only because she was craving them, but also because Su Yun'er was planning to launch new products at Su's Food Shop.

Egg products were considered expensive foods in this dynasty and in this era following famine.

Before moving to the new house, Old Mrs. Chen would save an egg every morning. Once she had collected fifteen eggs, she would take them to the market to sell. In that era of scarce resources, an egg could actually sell for fifteen coins!

The price was even higher than when Su Yun'er sold vegetables, because eggs are much more nutritious than vegetables. They are good for your health, and families with little money can only afford to buy one for pregnant women, new mothers, patients, the elderly, and children.

The market prices of duck eggs and chicken eggs are similar, but duck eggs have a stronger fishy smell than chicken eggs. They are usually processed before use, the most common being preserved eggs and salted duck eggs.

At lunchtime, Su Yun'er gave some preserved eggs to Mei Ya'er, Xiao Wen, and Zi Xing, told them how to eat them, and told them to take them home to eat.

Su Yun'er had Xiao Shu peel a few preserved eggs, cut four of them into eight pieces each, chopped some ginger, drizzled some rice vinegar and sesame oil, and made a simple cold preserved egg salad. She also chopped two other preserved eggs into small cubes and set them aside for later use.
