As soon as Xu Qi came back, he saw the eggs Song Tiantian's hen had just laid on the kitchen stove. "Eggs? Where did these come from?"
"It was laid by the hen that Nannan and I just caught." As she spoke, Song Tiantian looked at the hen that was placed upside down in the bamboo basket in the yard.
Xu Qi followed their gaze and when he saw the hen, he nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, this hen is really good. It would be even better if we could catch a few hens that can lay eggs."
"By the way, let's keep this hen. We might rely on it for the eggs we'll need in the next few days."
In this way, the hen officially became the first poultry raised in the courtyard.
The other big rooster was not so lucky...
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at what happened to these two chickens. You'll understand the difference between those who can contribute and those who can only be contributed to.]
Before dying, the rooster probably didn't realize that the only difference between him and the hen was that he could lay eggs, right?
[Poor big rooster, but these feathers are pretty nice. Wouldn't it be great if they were made into a feather shuttlecock?]
I've taken a fancy to the chicken porridge made with it. I guess the porridge made with such an energetic rooster would be delicious, right?
[That's right, don't you even look at who made breakfast?]
Song Tiantian and others drank the chicken soup porridge made by the heroic sacrifice of the big rooster, ate a few shredded potato cakes, and then went to the drying yard to play chestnut balls and pick chestnuts.
Lu Chuanbei and others collected all the remaining chestnuts in the chestnut forest.
The day passed quickly in this busy process.
At noon and in the evening, Xu Qi used the remaining ingredients at home and the mushrooms that Tiantian picked yesterday to prepare two more meals. However, even so, all the remaining ingredients were used up.
If they don't go into the mountains to find some food, the hen they just raised will probably be lost.
Fortunately, before they fell into this situation, Director Liu and the forest ranger finally confirmed that the black bear had returned to the mountains and there were no safety hazards around.
After making sure there was no danger, Director Liu relaxed the restrictions and allowed Song Tiantian and the others to go up the mountain. He also asked Zhang Bosong to tell them that there was a vegetable field on the mountain.
Hearing this, He Xuebin looked at Zhang Bosong in disbelief: "Vegetable field?"
Zhang Bosong nodded: "Yes."
"You have a vegetable garden, and you only told us now?" Xu Qi couldn't believe it.
"Brother Zhang, this is really not very kind of you. We have been here for a few days, why are you just telling us such an important thing!"
"So I remembered to tell you after you finished eating." Zhang Bosong didn't think anything was wrong and said, "Besides, if it weren't for yesterday's accident, you should have seen it today."
"Is that why you told us so late?"
Zhang Bosong silently shifted his gaze and looked towards the sky: "Well, the moon is really bright today."
Fang Xiuzhu raised an eyebrow: "Really? Isn't it cloudy today?"
"Haha, is that so? Then maybe my eyes are uncomfortable and I saw it wrongly. I'll go see the team doctor and get some eye drops." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Bosong quickly ran away, leaving behind a few people who had just discovered that there was a vegetable field on the mountain, standing there in a somewhat messy manner.
【Hahaha, the production team's trick is really late but it arrives.】
[Old Zhang is worthy of being Old Zhang. He really won't let us down.]
[But Director Liu is really good at keeping secrets. He only just told Xiao Lu and the others that there's a vegetable patch on the mountain!]
[I think if Director Xu and the others hadn't finished eating all the food in the courtyard, Director Liu probably wouldn't have told them about what happened on the mountain, right?]
[Of course, Director Liu would only let them discover it themselves. He wouldn't be so kind as to tell them that there's a vegetable garden on the mountain.]
In any case, the next morning after they learned about the vegetable field, Lu Chuanbei and his friends carried baskets and headed towards the mountain.
The vegetable field was located on the back mountain, below the pine forest and the beehive. As soon as they went up the mountain, they saw the well-organized vegetable field and a small corn field.
However, because it is already autumn and no one is taking care of them, some of the vegetables that are not grown in greenhouses have begun to wilt.
Many of the ripe tomatoes have already fallen directly to the ground. If it were to stay overnight for a few days, these tomatoes would probably become part of the field.
In addition to tomatoes, there are also old cucumbers, large eggplants and zucchini, cabbage, lettuce, perilla, etc.
As soon as they saw this, Lu Chuanbei and the others quickly walked in.
When seeing some old vegetables, Xu Qi would glance at Zhang Bosong and Director Liu who were not far away. One could feel Xu Qi's dissatisfaction with them from his eyes without having to say it out loud.
Director Liu turned his head away silently and looked up at the sky: "Well, the weather seems to be pretty good today."
Zhang Bosong, feeling as if he had heard this before, couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose and glance at the slightly lowered clouds in the sky: "Director, it seems to be cloudy today."
Director Liu rolled his eyes at the annoying guy and walked away with his spare drone.
While Xu Qi was picking vegetables in the vegetable field, Lu Chuanbei went to the cornfield next door and broke off a corn stalk: "Brother Xu, the corn in this field can also be picked."
"Really?" Xu Qi hurriedly raised his head from the vegetable patch and looked towards the cornfield: "Then let's quickly harvest the corn. It will be just right for us to make corn cakes when we get home later."
"Corn cake?" Song Tiantian looked at Xu Qi curiously: "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, especially the corn cakes made with freshly picked corn. They're sweet and soft, and I guarantee you'll want more."
"Then I'll go help pick corn!" Song Tiantian said, and ran towards the cornfield next door.
But when Song Tiantian stood in front of the cornfield, the little girl was suddenly shocked.
He Xuebin looked at the little girl who was not even as tall as a corn and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xu Qi suppressed his laughter and said to Song Tiantian, "Tiantian, why don't you come and help your uncle pick tomatoes? If we don't pick them now, they will be overripe and won't taste good."
Song Tiantian looked at the towering corn and couldn't help but take a breath: "No need, I can pick the corn!"
As she spoke, the unyielding little girl pulled down the corn stalk and grabbed the corn she had pulled down.
After breaking the corn off with great effort, she looked at Xu Qi and the others with pride, as if she was showing off.
Look, although I am not as tall as the corn, I can still pick the corn, which made Lu Chuanbei and others laugh so hard.
[Hahaha, Tiantian's smug look is so hilarious.]
[I didn't expect that our Tiantian would be such a strong-willed person her whole life.]
[It's just corn, isn't it? Tiantian may not be as tall as you, but she can't pull you down!]
[Please don't try to misinterpret Tiantian's thoughts, or I'll burst out laughing, and you'll be held responsible!]
[I almost couldn't retract my 40-meter-long sword...]
It takes a long time to harvest an acre of corn, so while Lu Chuanbei and the others were still busy in the cornfield, Xu Qixian picked the vegetables and corn and took the little ones back to the courtyard to prepare breakfast.
As soon as he came back, he cooked a pot of rice porridge.
Then take out a dozen fresh corns, carefully peel off the husk, take out the whole corn inside, and use a knife to remove all the corn kernels from the corn in a few strokes.
Next, pour the corn kernels into the mortar provided by Tiantian and pound them into a paste. At the same time, add a small amount of glutinous rice flour. No need to add a drop of water in this process, just pound it into a ball.
You can use the corn husks that you just peeled and washed, wrap the mashed corn glutinous rice, put it in a steamer and steam it for eight to ten minutes before serving.
In addition to corn cakes, Xu Qi also made corn pancakes with fresh corn. He coated the fresh corn with some starch and fried it directly in a pan until both sides were golden brown. Finally, he sprinkled a little powdered sugar on it and a crispy and delicious corn pancake was ready.
As soon as they smelled the crispy and sweet aroma of the corn pancakes, Song Tiantian and the other little ones couldn't sit still.
Xu Qi smiled and gave each of the little ones a small piece of corn pancake and asked them to eat it.
As soon as Song Tiantian took the corn pancake, she couldn't wait to bite into it. There was a crisp "crunch" sound, a sweet fragrance of corn, and the juicy texture of each grain when bitten. Coupled with the crispy outer layer, the little guy opened his eyes wide while eating.
"Is it delicious?" Xu Qi asked her with a smile.
"Hmm," Song Tiantian swallowed the corn pancake in her mouth impatiently and nodded towards Xu Qi, saying, "This is simply the most delicious corn pancake I have ever eaten."
[Gulp, this corn pancake is delicious just by looking at it.]
[Of course, and since these corn pancakes are made with freshly picked corn, how can they not be delicious?]
[Hehe, it's just a corn pancake. I sold about ten corns when they were picking corn. I don't believe I can't eat it today.]
[Actually, both of these seem pretty simple, so I bought corn too!]
[Same as above, I also bought some and am planning to try making corn cakes first.]
[The people above are so awesome that they actually made it themselves, but I'm different. I just happened to have corn at home, and when Director Xu was making corn cakes and corn pancakes, my mom also started making them...]
[Hey guys, you're showing off to us, right?! But I also ordered takeout, all that corn cake and corn pancake. I can't afford anything else, but I can't afford this!]
[Yes, I thought so too, but why is there no corn cake for takeout?! ]
