Chapter 105 First Egg
Oh ho, the murderer has delivered himself to our doorstep?
Before the two sisters could even begin to scold them, Peach and An'an Kang Kang, who had pounced on the ground, grabbed their clothes and trouser legs and pulled them in the direction they had come from.
They naturally sensed that something was wrong, and Lin Chunyi asked:
"What's wrong? Where are Tuantuan and Yuanyuan? Did something happen to them?"
Peach nodded and continued to bite her clothes, pulling them back.
"Stop talking nonsense, where are they? Come on, take us there quickly." Lin Lanshan picked up An'an and Kang Kang and jumped onto its back, and Lin Chunyi also sat on it.
Peach ran towards home.
The two sisters were a little panicked. No outsiders could enter this valley, not even wild beasts. What would happen to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan?
Peach ran home, and as she entered the inner courtyard, the two sisters heard several "clucking, clucking..." sounds.
This voice was both so unfamiliar and so familiar.
They exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief. They were terrified; they thought something terrible had happened.
The two jumped to the ground, and Lin Lanshan put down An'an and Kang Kang, saying happily, "Sister, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan laid eggs."
"Yes, hens get particularly agitated before laying their first egg. It's probably because when Peach and Ankang got close, Tuan Tuan pecked at them in a fit of temper, scaring them."
When the two sisters entered the house, they saw an egg in Tuantuan and Yuanyuan's nest in the grass.
Tuantuan called out "cluck" from the edge of the grass nest, while Yuanyuan curled up on the ground to sleep.
Lin Chunyi squatted down and patted Tuantuan's head. Tuantuan didn't move, but just rubbed against her palm.
Then she picked up the first-laid eggs from the nest. They were smaller than the eggs she usually bought, and their shells were a darker color.
Lin Lanshan also squatted down to watch, and asked doubtfully, "Sister, they've started laying eggs. Does that mean they're going to separate into different nests?"
The book says that if there's no rooster in the house, the hen might turn into a rooster..."
They didn't intend to buy a rooster because they didn't want fertilized eggs or a bunch of chicks.
There are two laying hens, which can provide them with eggs, so we don't have to buy them often.
"Yuanyuan should be ready to lay eggs soon, so we'll separate their nests tomorrow."
Let's separate An'an and Kang'kang as well. The children are getting older; they should each have their own nest from now on.
Let's go back and get some food for Tuantuan to help it recover.
Saying it's for health maintenance isn't quite right either.
After all, the pets at home have never gone a day without food.
Even the rose hips they were preparing to make jam were all eaten! These kids are already incredibly strong...
Lin Chunyi grabbed a handful of millet from the kitchen and fed it to Tuantuan. She also poured it some warm water and let it lie down comfortably in its grass nest to rest.
Since there was nothing else to do, the two sisters went out to continue practicing on the plum blossom stakes.
They can now run at both ends of the plum blossom stakes simultaneously.
Lin Chunyi jumped up from one end and landed steadily on the first wooden stake on one foot, then stepped onto the second one.
Lin Lanshan, on the other side, also ran over.
The two women simultaneously exerted force, leaning their bodies slightly forward before leaping forward. Each wooden stake they stepped on, regardless of size or length, felt as if they were walking on flat ground.
The two men kept their eyes fixed straight ahead on the stakes they were about to step on. They stepped on the two middle stakes simultaneously.
The wooden stakes they stood on were positioned exactly at opposite ends.
The two men put their hands together and used their arms to pull Lin Chunyi off the wooden stake, her feet leaving the ground.
Then, with the help of his sister, he flew over the next wooden stake and jumped directly onto the second wooden stake behind his sister.
Lin Lanshan also used her sister's strength to leap onto the second wooden stake behind her.
They then ran and jumped to either side, and finally landed on the last wooden stake.
When Lin Lanshan jumped onto the last wooden stake, she did a somersault in the air and then landed steadily on her feet.
Then she spread her arms upwards, closed her eyes, and said, "Lin Lanshan, full marks! Good, good, good, thank you everyone!"
Thank you everyone for encouraging me and cheering me on! My biggest thank you is to my sister!
She worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk, helping and guiding me. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today!
Alright, next, please let Lin Chunyi present the award to Lin Lanshan. Come on, my trophy!
Lin Chunyi crossed her arms and watched her increasingly impressive acting skills every now and then: "..."
She deserves an award, though not a championship trophy. But an Oscar—she truly deserves it!
"If there were an audience below, you'd be a monkey by now. Let's go, hurry home."
"Sister, even monkeys might not be able to jump as well as I do," Lin Lanshan said proudly.
Then she walked next to her sister, skipping and hopping, and every now and then she would do a somersault.
It really does look more like a monkey than a monkey...
The two sisters went home and hung the meat, which had been marinating all afternoon, under the eaves of the kitchen to air dry.
The wind, having just endured the scorching sun, was extremely fierce. It was arrogant and reckless, howling and roaring through the valley.
Even the newly blooming osmanthus flowers couldn't withstand it.
Their stone table and benches were transformed into osmanthus-scented tables and benches. A thin layer of osmanthus blossoms was also laid on the stone floor of the inner courtyard.
They really didn't expect that, just one night later, the osmanthus trees seemed to have had nearly half of their essence drained away.
Lin Chunyi looked at the osmanthus blossoms covering the ground from the steps and said regretfully, "The wind was too strong last night, it howled all night."
These osmanthus flowers finally bloomed, and after only one day, they're already gone. Let's pick them today; I'm afraid they'll be completely bare overnight.
Lin Lanshan went to get a broom. "Sister, we can't waste the broom on the ground, it can still be used!"
We don't need to eat it; we can dry it and make soap next time. We'll be using it for washing anyway.
Then sweep the osmanthus flowers from the corners of the yard toward the center.
"Then I'll go pick them all off the tree." Lin Chunyi grabbed a large cloth bag, tied it around her waist, and quickly climbed up the tree.
The two sisters gathered up all the osmanthus flowers, sifted the ones on the ground several times with a bamboo sieve, and washed them again, which removed most of the dust.
The ones on the tree are relatively clean, so wash them and let them air dry.
Thanks to the relentless strong winds these past few days, the dried osmanthus flowers were packed and the osmanthus honey was made in just one day.
Then there are the pork strips hanging under the eaves, which are dried in two days. Then they are poured into a steamer, steamed for about half an hour, and then hung to air dry for two more days before they are ready to eat.
Fifty pounds of fresh pork, after being dried, will leave about three or six pounds, enough for the two of them to eat until next year.
The day before the believers descended the mountain.
Lin Lanshan chewed on the spicy jerky in her hand, hissing and sucking in air.
"Should we go visit Uncle Lin's house tomorrow?"
Lin Chunyi packed her things into her spatial storage without looking up, saying, "Let's go take a look. We still have half a disciple at Uncle Lin's house. Besides, we don't know where Yang Yu and the others are staying."
Jung-min, you could say he's practically their apprentice...
