In the kitchen of the Gu family, Mrs. Gu was thinking about what dish to make with the eight pheasant eggs.

Scrambled eggs and fried eggs are too oily, and boiled eggs are really tasteless even though there is only one per person today.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Gu decided to make a stewed egg, which is fresh, smooth and tender. This dish has not been made for several years. In the past, she was always reluctant to use so many eggs at once. I don’t know how long ago the pheasant laid these pheasant eggs, so I can only solve the problem at one time, which is just suitable for stewing eggs.

The eggs were beaten into the bowl one by one in advance. It must be said that the pheasant eggs are of good quality, bright yellow, much brighter than the eggs at home. Even Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but praise them when she saw them.

After the eggs are beaten into a bowl, they are broken up with chopsticks, and then scallion, salt and soy sauce are added for color and seasoning. Then add the same proportion of water to the pot and bring it to a boil. After boiling, slowly pour it along the edge of the pot and simmer it over low heat to let the egg liquid slowly take shape. After about ten minutes of stewing the eggs, they can be served. At this time, sprinkle a layer of chives on them, and they are so fragrant. The eggs in the pot have a tofu-like texture. When they are shoveled out, the tender texture is like condensed fat trembling in the air, revealing a unique aroma. This aroma is the fragrance of the egg and scallion, and the special fragrance of the chives has been washed by high temperature and steam. At this time, it has merged into one, which makes people unable to resist their appetite.

At this time, the neighbor lady also smelled the fragrance from a distance, and knew that the Gu family had made something delicious again. She cursed in her heart with jealousy: "You only know how to eat such delicious food every day. Sooner or later, my family will be bankrupt because of you. When you come to my house to borrow rice, I won't lend you a single grain of rice..."

However, the Gu family naturally didn't know about the neighbor lady's spiritual victory, and it didn't affect the Gu family, because the Gu family was happy to have a good meal at noon!

The sun was approaching noon. Although it was not midsummer, the sun still made people's skin hurt. Seeing that it was getting late, the old man Gu asked everyone to go back in advance, and come back to work after lunch in the afternoon when the sun was a little cloudy.

After returning home, the old lady Gu brought out a large basin. When everyone saw that it was filled with a basin of stewed eggs, the expressions on their faces immediately changed from fatigue brought by work to joy. Even Gu Liang's father Gu Changping, who usually doesn't care much about food, asked happily at this time, "Mom, what day is today? Why are you willing to use so many eggs to make this dish? The last time we ate it was when my sister got married a few years ago!"

Old Mrs. Gu said puzzledly, "Didn't Gu Liang and you find it when we were clearing the land this morning? I was afraid that the eggs would go bad, so I just cooked them all at once. It's just a good reward for you. You have to eat better for doing heavy work!"

Hearing this, Old Man Gu, Gu Liang's father and second uncle Gu Changan were also puzzled. They had never heard that Gu Liang found pheasant eggs in the morning.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Gu Boxi explained and told everyone about the pheasant nest that Gu Liang found after falling into the pit in the morning. Everyone suddenly realized it.

However, at this time, Gu Liang's mother Chen also heard it behind her back. The men were concerned about the discovery of pheasant eggs after the fall, while Chen, a woman, was concerned about her son falling into the pit.

She came over and saw that Gu Liang's knees and other parts were dirty, all covered with dirt stains, and some places even had some small holes scratched. She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Gu Liang's small tender butt. Gu Liang was proud of adding a good dish for everyone's lunch at this time, and he didn't react at all. His mother slapped him and made him scream. He had sat on the stool for more than 20 years in school and work, and his butt was so hardened, but now his butt is round and tender, so this slap made Gu Liang feel like he had seen a big breast he had never seen before.

"Ah~~Don't hit me, mother" Gu Liang cried so hard that his heart was broken. Although he was ten years old, he was a middle-aged man. This was in public, and spanking was too shameful.

Chen raised her hand again, ready to hit him again, and scolded him, "How can you be so naughty? You didn't work and went to play with pheasants. You even tore your pants. You've only worn these pants for less than two years. I'll spank you so that you'll remember it. I'll see if you dare to do it again in the future."

Second uncle Gu Chang'an and third uncle Gu Boxi hurriedly grabbed Chen's hand, and one protected Gu Liang's white buttocks, persuading Chen not to hit him.

Chen weaves on the loom every day. The clothes of the whole family are made by her step by step. Naturally, she cherishes the fabric very much. He can't control other people in the family, but he has to discipline his own children so that they can

He knew to cherish his clothes. So even if he was stopped, he was still prepared to slap Gu Liang a few more times to teach him a lesson.

Gu Liang was terrified at this time, but fortunately, at this time, Mrs. Gu came out of the kitchen with food and stopped him in time. It must be said that Mrs. Gu's words are still effective in this family. One sentence, "Eat first. Don't hit the child while eating," made Chen put down her hand.

Finally, the Gu family began to eat with a smile on their faces, except for Gu Liang who had just cried with snot and tears. It must be said that Mrs. Gu's cooking skills for home cooking are still very good. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or the pheasant eggs are really delicious. Everyone is eating happily. Especially Gu Dani, who said that this was the best stewed egg she had ever eaten in her life. Gu Liang silently complained in his heart, with the living standard of the Gu family, you are only eight years old, and you haven't eaten eggs many times, not to mention stewed eggs that cost many eggs at a time.

After dinner, the men chose to take a short break to replenish their energy for the afternoon, while the women did not stop, collecting some white-flowered Loropetalum and Stephania grandiflora that were used to tie materials at home last time. These plants are very resilient and can be used to tie materials instead of ropes. They can be reused after soaking in water.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun weakened and there was a breeze, which made people feel very comfortable.

When they went to the wasteland in the afternoon, Mrs. Gu and Chen also went there. There were many shrubs piled up in the wasteland that had just been cut. These were good materials for burning and starting fires after drying, so the farmers would naturally not let them go.

So the men of the Gu family were responsible for cutting, Gu Liang and Gu Dani were responsible for collecting and putting them together, and Mrs. Gu and Chen were responsible for bundling.

Because they were just cut, the water content in the branches of the plants was still high and they were rich in toughness, so how to put them together in an orderly manner was also a laborious task. Fire is indispensable for land reclamation. If these branches are not moved away quickly, they may be burned by fire tomorrow, so they must be bundled and moved away early, and moved to a place where they can be dried naturally before being moved back home.

Although Gu Liang has been working, his mind has been on the pheasant traps he has made, and he always wants to go over to see if he has caught any pheasants.

But if he goes over now, he is afraid of scaring the pheasants and letting them give up and return to their nests, so Gu Liang can only force himself to give up this idea.

When he was almost done with the work here, Gu Liang could no longer bear his curiosity and walked towards the traps.

At this time, the sun was no longer dazzling, and the sky was dim. There was no sunset glow in the sky, half bright and half dark, azure blue and dark gray, intertwined and entangled, just like Gu Liang's heart at this time, which felt hopeful and hopeless.
