Xia Chuhe first separated a circle of brooding hens and selected a few large, smooth, and beautiful eggs to incubate.
The same applies to duck, goose, and pigeon eggs.
Xia Chuhe will find a use for the remaining eggs.
Xia Chuhe and Lu Danggui arranged to meet at Sister Li's Food Shop.
Xia Bao'er was with Lu Dangui. Xia Bao'er looked at Xia Chuhe timidly, somewhat like she did when they first met a few days ago.
Xia Chuhe squatted down and patted Xia Bao'er's head: "Sorry, I've been a bit busy these past few days."
Xia Bao'er carefully rubbed against Xia Chuhe's hand.
Sister Li stared at Xia Chuhe with a resentful look. In her eyes, Xia Chuhe was covered in layers upon layers of food of various colors: "You made something delicious again?"
Xia Chuhe took out the egg.
Warm-colored chicken eggs, bluish-green duck eggs, white goose eggs, and tiny pigeon eggs are piled up in a small basket, looking quite endearing.
Sister Li couldn't take her eyes off it.
Xia Chuhe pointed to the duck eggs: "The most common way to eat duck eggs is as salted duck eggs. I know a water-curing method that tastes good."
“I know, after washing and drying the duck eggs, you should pickle them in boiled and cooled brine. After pickling them in brine, it’s best to pour in a little white wine…” Sister Li clenched her fist, “I’ll go upstairs tomorrow and get some white wine. I can’t let this basket of eggs go to waste.”
Xia Chuhe smiled, but what she really wanted to talk about wasn't salted duck eggs.
When Xia Chuhe first met Lu Dangui, she recounted her "unlucky" past, and Lu Dangui only asked her, "Is the cake delicious?"
Although we can't make cream now, we can probably make a sponge cake with some ingredients. Let Lu Danggui experience the beauty of the cake base first.
"Do you know how to make sponge cake?" Xia Chuhe asked.
"Chicken...cake?" Li Yue blinked. "I think I've heard of it. It's quite complicated to make, but I've never had a chance to try it."
Li Yue was eager to try.
Xia Chuhe's college roommate once made a rice cooker version of sponge cake in their dorm, and it tasted pretty good.
Xia Chuhe watched it several times and memorized the method.
If you let her do it herself, she might not succeed.
But if it's left to Li Yue, who has extensive cooking experience, it might not be a big problem.
Xia Chuhe recalled the ingredients: "Eggs, white sugar, cooking oil, white vinegar, and milk."
Li Yue's lips slowly drooped: "There's no milk either, we can only make it tomorrow."
Xia Chuhe feigned generosity: "It's alright, you can keep the eggs for now. Once you've cooked them, treat us to them as payment for the ingredients, how about that?"
Li Yue: "..." For a moment, she didn't know whether she had lost or gained.
Since they couldn't have a good meal today, Xia Chuhe told Lu Dangui the password to the courtyard and asked her to take Xia Bao'er back to the courtyard first and choose a room she liked to stay in.
Xia Chuhe is going to see Lao Qin.
Although Xia Chuhe really wanted a hummingbird and even made plans to feed it.
But the hummingbird was caught by the Thousand-Faced Man, who instructed that it be handed over to Old Qin.
Xia Chuhe knew that the Lighthouse Organization was still secretly watching her, and she didn't want to offend the Thousand-Faced Man because of a hummingbird.
Xia Chuhe had checked the prices of special creatures. Hummingbirds are auxiliary creatures, and although they are not expensive, they still cost around seven million points.
Paying Lao Qin in one lump sum would completely drain Xia Chuhe's cash flow.
But things still need to be done; money can be discussed later.
Old Qin had originally planned to enter the Raptor Academy instance with Wang Yan, but the day before they were to enter, he was knocked unconscious and locked in a dark room.
The person who took him away treated him quite well.
He was given plenty of nutrients and also received an injection to stabilize his genes.
After being detained for a few days, Lao Qin was inexplicably sent back to the base.
The first thing I heard when I got back to the base was that the Animal World instance had shrunk, and the outermost part had collapsed.
Those who survived the dungeon raid made a fortune.
Old Qin was so envious he wanted to cry.
There haven't been any good dungeons lately, and he's already taken the gene stabilization injection, so Lao Qin is still in the base.
As soon as Xia Chuhe sent out the message to ask him to meet, Lao Qin agreed.
The two arranged to meet in the reception hall of the Holy Flame Meow Meow Legion.
It's called a lobby, but it's actually just the end of a corridor in a dormitory building.
This is a temporary residence provided by the Holy Fire Meow Meow Legion for mercenaries. Perhaps most of them have gone to do missions, so there are not many people in the hall.
Xia Chuhe released hummingbirds.
“I met someone in the dungeon who looked like you, and he asked me to give this to you.”
Xia Chuhe prepared some sugar water and placed it in front of the hummingbird: "Can you still play the video from that day? Can you show it to this person?"
The hummingbird drank the sugar water contentedly, and after finishing, it lazily lay down on Xia Chuhe's hand, while the video was projected onto the wall.
Old Qin frowned when he saw the masked man.
This person felt very unfamiliar to him.
As a qualified healer who has run many dungeons, Lao Qin has healed many people, most of whom he no longer remembers what they look like.
Few of these people remembered Lao Qin. Evolvers need to cooperate with each other, and the wet nurse is not any more noble than other evolved beings.
So this was the first time Lao Qin had ever encountered a stranger giving him a "gift".
However, when the video reached its final segment, it showed the lonely figure of a man walking into the distance.
Old Qin suddenly felt that the face looked familiar.
The way this person walks... his left foot is slightly turned outwards, and his steps slouch slightly on the ground, making his back view look a little sluggish.
Where have I seen this before?
Old Qin pondered deeply, recalling his mercenaries in the Holy Fire Meow Meow Legion, his companions when he freely formed teams, and his childhood nursery.
It seems I've never seen this person before.
Wang Yan said this person can change his appearance in countless ways. How could an old man like Qin, who has no background, possibly recognize such a remarkable person?
