"..." Xi Xi was completely speechless. She untied the rope tied around the little white duck's neck and lifted it up with one hand.
However, the little white duck remained limp, as if afraid that Xi Xi might do something harmful to it, with its eyes closed and motionless.
But it was indeed right. Because at that moment, Xi Xi was indeed thinking about how to kill it—should she make soup or roast it like a duck?
"Stop acting," Xi Xi placed the little white duck on the plush carpet, poked it with her index finger, and saw the little white duck's orange-yellow webbed feet twitch uncontrollably. Xi Xi looked at it amusedly and whispered, "How about I give you a quick death?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her slender fingers to measure the little white duck. The duck trembled even more violently the moment she touched it.
Upon closer inspection, this little guy is indeed quite tiny compared to ordinary ducks.
With its round, chubby head and small body, it looks like a duckling that hasn't grown up yet, completely unlike what an adult white duck should look like.
Xi Xi frowned, thinking to herself that if she used this little one to make old duck soup, the taste would probably be greatly diminished.
Just then, her thoughts were interrupted by a strange movement. The little white duck, which had been keeping its eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened its eyes, its chest slightly bulging, as if it had gathered a breath of air, and crawled forward a few times before standing up proudly.
It seemed to be gathering some strength, its chest heaving violently a few times, and soon, a round, warm duck egg rolled out from the little white duck's tail!
Xi Xi's eyes widened instantly, and she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
After a long while, she finally snapped out of her daze and exclaimed in disbelief, "Huh? You're actually a fully grown female duck?"
"Quack quack quack... quack quack!" The flat, duck-like beak opened slightly, emitting a series of hoarse, broken cries...
The little white duck proudly puffed out its chest, shook its incredibly round little head, and then waddled forward a few steps in a grand manner before losing its balance and falling flat on its back.
The little white duck seemed a bit flustered and helpless after falling down. It hurriedly bent its slender neck and frantically flapped its two large feet like two fans, but it just couldn't stand up. In the end, it could only wriggle helplessly on the ground.
Xi Xi had a sudden realization. She had never raised poultry and didn't know much about them, but she felt that the little duck in front of her didn't seem like a common white duck breed. Instead, it looked more like the popular Call duck.
She gently lifted the little white duck with her palm and saw it standing there blankly, shaking its head as if trying to shake off the dizziness from the fall. Then, it started pecking at its feathers in a fit of frustration.
"It doesn't look very bright..." Xi Xi muttered to herself, picking up the duck egg. But anyway, it's always good that it lays eggs. She'd heard that if ducks are raised well, they can lay an egg every one or two days.
After thinking it over, Xi Xi decided not to kill the little white duck for the time being. It didn't look like it had much meat, so it would be better to continue the sustainable development and collect more duck eggs to eat.
Xi Xi got out of the car, quickly gathered some dry branches and leaves, and then skillfully piled these flammable materials together to start a fire.
The little white duck waddled along behind her. Xi Xi ignored it; after all, the little duck wouldn't be able to eat or drink anything in the desert without her, so it should just stay obediently by her side.
So she continued to focus on her work. She took out the cooking oil she had stocked up on at the convenience store and the brand-new spatula she had acquired through a transaction that day, and then, without any hesitation, picked up the small iron pan in front of the little white duck and started frying eggs in a very professional manner.
As the spatula gently turned the duck egg, the other side came into contact with the hot oil, and a sizzling sound rang out, releasing a rich aroma.
The surface of the duck eggs gradually turned golden and crispy, and the rich aroma of oil filled the air, making one's mouth water.
However, the little white duck on the side seemed completely unconcerned about all of this.
It stood there leisurely, sometimes stretching its neck, sometimes shaking its wings, and occasionally scratching its body with its beak, looking completely carefree.
After frying the eggs, it took quite a while for the water to finally boil.
Xi Xi quickly tore open a bag of Golden Beef Instant Noodles, poured the noodles and various seasoning packets into the small iron pot, and then gently covered the pot with the lid.
Then, she grabbed a pre-made curry beef packet and placed it on the pot lid, using the heat of the hot water to slowly heat it up.
Soon the steaming hot broth instant noodles were ready. Xi Xi poured all the broth into the lunchbox and drained the cooked noodles.
The pre-made vegetable packet, heated in a double boiler, was a little too hot to handle. Xi Xi carefully tore open the package, poured the curry beef over the cooked noodles, and started mixing it dry.
Curry beef jerky noodles, topped with a golden, crispy poached egg, and served with a bowl of fragrant beef broth. Xi Xi has prepared dinner for tonight.
She turned on the light screen camera, took a picture of her dinner as a souvenir, and then began to enjoy it.
The golden noodles in the pot were coated in a rich curry sauce, each strand glistening with oil.
A golden, crispy fried egg with slightly curled edges is placed on the edge of the noodles.
A fragrant bowl of beef soup sits to the side, with a thin layer of oil floating on the surface, emitting bursts of steam.
The curry beef in the pre-made vegetable packet was tender and delicious, a perfect match for the chewy noodles. The creamy potatoes and the meaty aroma of the beef blended together with the curry sauce, constantly stimulating her taste buds.
