If you have children, you might as well buy a few eggs and find a way to hatch them and raise them yourself.
You can also buy some regular eggs to supplement your child's nutrition.
However, the number of eggs is limited, and each household can only buy a limited number; it's first-come, first-served.
Lin Qiuyu and the others walked away until they were out of sight before they came to their senses.
Immediately, all feelings of envy and jealousy towards the fish in the pond vanished.
She wanted chicken eggs, duck eggs, and hatching eggs.
There will be extreme heat and drought coming, but her family has stored a lot of water and their food supply is also adequate.
The basement was dug out, but it's bigger than the house built on top.
She can buy more hatching eggs to incubate, and when they're raised, her children won't have to worry about not having enough eggs to eat.
In addition, chicken and duck droppings can be used as fertilizer for potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Thinking this, she glanced at the sun outside again, then hurriedly went back to tell the child what was going on, and then took the money and ran to the general store.
Not to mention Lin Qiuyu, even Zhong Yufeng and Liu Mei, who came to the general store at this moment, were somewhat shocked.
Zhong Yufeng, in particular, knew all too well how difficult it was to bring back so many eggs in this kind of weather without them spoiling.
Putting aside everything else, even her mother might not be able to get this many things.
So, taking advantage of being family, the two of them each bought twenty eggs when no outsiders came, put them in baskets, and quietly went back.
As soon as Liu Mei got home, she called out to Liu Lingling, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, come quick!"
Liu Lingling was weaving straw sandals at the moment. When she heard this, she thought something had happened.
When she poked her head out of the open basement, she saw her sister-in-law carrying a basket, her expression unusually excited.
She quickly came out of the basement, reached out to help take the basket, and asked:
"What's wrong? Didn't you just go to the general store? Why are you back again?"
What's in this basket?
Because there were other people living near the main house, and not far away, Liu Mei lowered her voice and said excitedly:
"Sister-in-law, my aunt is back. She brought back a lot of things, including many chicken and duck eggs."
My third aunt was looking after the shop. When I went over, she told us to buy some things first.
There are twenty hatching eggs and twenty ordinary chicken and duck eggs in this room.
My aunt said that these ordinary chicken and duck eggs haven't been checked to see if they're hatching eggs.
Sister-in-law, this basket has two layers. The bottom layer is full of hatching eggs.
It's so hot today, there's no need for hens or ducks to hatch them. You can pick one and see.
When I went to the general store again, my third aunt said that my aunt had also brought back a lot of pumpkins and winter melons, which she wanted to cut up and sell.
Each household is limited to selling two jin (1 kg). They will probably sell them near the ancestral hall. Unlike eggs, they can't let us secretly buy them in advance.
I need to go and keep watch, so our family can buy some more.
Liu Mei finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Liu Lingling, who also had a beaming face, and asked:
"Sister-in-law, would you like winter melon or pumpkin?"
"Pumpkin, it's sweet, and Ah-Guang and Ah-Li both love to eat it."
However, it's too hot outside, Xiaomei. You're pregnant, so don't go out and about.
"You stay home and watch over A-Guang and A-Li for me. I'm going to the grocery store today."
Liu Mei cherishes the baby in her belly and wants to go out for a walk, but she is afraid that it will be too hot and crowded at the ancestral hall.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded: "Okay, then you go ahead, sister-in-law. I'll stay home and take care of the children."
When Liu Lingling went to Lao Chi's house, Zhong Yufeng, who lived in the second branch of the family house which was farther away, also arrived home.
Like Liu Mei, her voice arrived before she did.
"Mother, come quickly!"
