After picking up the wooden basin and standing up, he realized that Ye Xusheng had gone somewhere long ago. Just as he was about to look for it, he heard a crackling sound coming from the reeds. Ye Xusheng walked towards Er Ni: "Er Ni, don't be in a hurry, we'll be back soon."
Let’s go back.”
"Look, what is this"
I saw that he was actually holding five green wild duck eggs in his hands. He Xiner had never eaten wild duck eggs before. All she had eaten before were salted duck eggs sold in supermarkets.
He looked at Ye Xusheng with questioning eyes.
Ye Xusheng smiled at him: "When I just came out, I wanted to search in this reed swamp, but I didn't expect that I actually found it. Look, I brought flint and steel with me. I'll make a fire and bake the eggs for you to eat.
."
It happened that He Xiner was also hungry. The Ye family's food was just for filling their stomachs. They were so hungry that they could never die. They had only eaten egg custard once in so many days. When they heard about roast duck eggs, their mouth watered down.
Ye Xusheng knew what she was thinking when he saw the look in her eyes. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Follow the cousin."
He took Ye Erni and walked deep into the reeds. After walking for a while, Ye Xusheng asked Erni to wait. He pulled out the weeds under his feet, came to an empty area, checked some dead branches and leaves, and took them.
He took out flint and made a small fire.
He Xiner squatted by the fire and looked at him with interest, wondering how he was going to bake.
Ye Xusheng picked up the duck eggs that had been placed on the ground and washed them by the river. He also picked a few larger leaves by the river and wrapped the eggs one by one.
Then I grabbed some mud from the river, smeared it on the wrapped duck eggs, carefully put it into the fire, and continued to add some branches to the fire.
He Xiner thought that this was a good idea. She wondered if her cousin often ate like this outside.
Ye Xusheng saw He Xiner looking at him with a smile in her eyes. Even though she didn't speak, he could actually read her thoughts.
Ye Xusheng smiled widely: "I learned this from Dong Qiang of Zhang Orion's family in the village. I used to roast bird eggs for you when you were a child. But at that time, you just threw them into the fire, and they were easy to fry.
The shells always get dirty when they explode."
After the mud in the fire was dried, Ye Xusheng used a branch to pull it out of the fire, found a stone, cracked open the mud shell, and took out the duck eggs inside, which were still steaming~
After the duck eggs had cooled down a bit, Ye Xusheng took out a duck egg and peeled off the shell. The white and tender duck eggs had an attractive aroma.
He Xiner's eyes lit up when she saw it, wow, the delicacies in the world look so delicious.
"Eat it, don't be too hasty, it will be hot inside."
He Xiner brought it over and took a big mouthful, um, it’s delicious.
Now, in He Xiner's eyes, anything other than steamed buns is a delicacy.
He Xiner didn't eat much. After eating one, her stomach felt much better. She didn't dare to eat more, otherwise her secret would be exposed when she couldn't eat when she got home. After all, in such a big family, it wouldn't be a big deal if people found out that she was cheating on others.
A glorious thing.
After watching her finish eating, Ye Xusheng asked, "Do you want another one?"
Seeing He Xiner shaking her head, she found the remaining four and wrapped them in big leaves. "Put these away. Eat them when you're hungry at night. Don't let anyone see them. Even the second aunt can't do it."
He Xiner pointed to the duck eggs for him to eat, and Ye Xusheng felt heart-warming: "Brother, for such a big person, it's okay to eat. This is for you to replenish your body. If you are not in good health, keep it and eat it slowly."
Help Ye Erni pick up the wooden basin and hide the duck eggs under her clothes, "Let's go, it's time to go home."
In the mountain village in the evening, smoke curled up from the kitchens of every household, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, one or two dogs barked in the distance, bringing a lively atmosphere to this small mountain village.
The two walked quietly on the country road. He Xiner felt like a person who had walked into the TV. Everything he watched was novel, and he looked at everything around him with exploratory eyes.
Ye Xusheng kept staring at her, his eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking.
When I got home, there was no one in the courtyard, so everyone was probably preparing to eat in the main room.
Ye Xusheng returned to the East Cross Courtyard, and He Xiner also hurriedly took the clothes to the West Cross Courtyard to dry, and hid the duck eggs in the closet.
Now that she was well, she couldn't hide in the house all the time. If she didn't speak, she wouldn't be able to reveal any clues. She stopped waiting for Mrs. Ye Wang to come over and walked directly out of the house towards the main room. This chapter has been completed!
