Chapter 169

Shi Wen, "I just don't understand why all the geese laid eggs today."

Gong Jiang: "Maybe it's because it's been warmer these past few days, and they sensed that it was going to rain, so they laid their eggs together?"

Yan Kexing: "It's not surprising that these creatures living in groups exhibit uniform behavior."

Shi Wen covered her face, not wanting to move.

Ge Yue chuckled and added, "Today's egg-collecting event was truly grand; I bet three generations of people in this area will never forget it."

Shi Wen lay back on the sofa and said, "Please don't remind me anymore, thank you."

Yan Kexing: "Have Heiwa and the others returned? I'll go see them."

Shi Wen: "I'm back. I just checked, and the app shows everything is normal."

Gong Jiang: "With so many goose eggs, and they've been shaken, the egg white inside might be affected, right?"

Yan Kexing: "It won't be as fresh."

Gong Jiang: "That means they can't be kept for long. What should we do with these goose eggs? Brother Shi, shouldn't you hurry up and put a batch on the shelves?"

Shi Wen voice came from beneath his palm. "They've already been shaken, the quality isn't as good anymore, how can we still dare to sell them to members? We'll just consume them ourselves."

"Eating so many goose eggs, your cholesterol might get high, right?" Lin Chengqian looked at the baskets of goose eggs with awe in his eyes. "Are we going to eat goose eggs for every single meal?"

Yan Kexing: "Let's make them into salted goose eggs."

Shi Wen, "Can you do it?"

Yan Kexing: "There's nothing that can't be done. As long as you get the amount of salt right, salted goose eggs taste even better than salted duck eggs."

Shi Wen, "That's the only way."

Hail started falling as they were talking.

The weather has been quite warm these past few days; it already feels like late spring.

The warm weather was suddenly met with a cold wave, and the hailstones that formed were also very large, pounding against the walls, the ground, and the roof.

Shi Wen, looking out the window, I would see hailstones larger than chicken eggs, and some as small as pigeon eggs.

If they hadn't picked up the chicken and goose eggs, they would have been smashed to pieces by the hailstorm, especially the chicken eggs, which probably wouldn't have been left at all.

Shi Wen said, "Starting tomorrow, we'll be training our Bress chickens and geese to lay eggs in the poultry house."

Yan Kexing: "Release them only after they lay eggs; don't release them if they don't."

"Then I'll make a note of it." Shi Wen moment, then said, "I'll contact the manufacturer to see if our system can identify which chickens and geese have already laid eggs and which haven't finished laying them yet."

Yan Kexing: "That should be feasible."

The hailstorm didn't last long, only about half an hour.

After finishing, Shi Wen went out to check, and everything at the ranch was fine.

With most of the day still to go, he didn't want to work anymore and lay dejectedly on the sofa.

He didn't even want to check his phone because many people had posted pictures of people collecting eggs on their ranch on social media.

Lin Chengqian enthusiastically urged Gong Jiang to go to town together to buy various spices and salt, as they wanted to make salted goose eggs since they had time today.

Yan Kexing was still the head chef. He stir-fried the spices and salt he had bought, and then directed the students to dig up mud.

Suddenly, Shi Wen remembered. "Do you guys remember the mud I dredged up from the ditch a couple of days ago?"

Lin Chengqian: "I remember, so what?"

Shi Wen, "That mud is exceptionally black, glossy, and fine. Could we use that mud to make salted goose eggs?"

Yan Kexing nodded. "Anything is fine, as long as it can be successfully wrapped around the goose egg."

Shi Wen, "Then let's use that clay to make it, so we don't have to dig up other clay."

So everyone went to the ditch and carried the mud back.

The mud dredged from the ditches doesn't need much crushing; it's still moist. Just add salt and it's ready to use.

After kneading the clay, Lin Chengqian scooped some up and smelled it. "The clay with spices and salt smells so good. I can't imagine how fragrant the salted goose eggs made from this batch of clay will be!"

Shi Wen, "When has Teacher Yan ever messed up?"

Chapter 169

The pickled goose eggs at Shi Wen's house were ready quickly.

The house was small, so the pickled goose eggs were piled up in the warehouse and neatly arranged to form a wall of goose eggs.

Their warehouse is cool, dry, and well-ventilated.

Every time Shi Wen go in, I can smell a rich fragrance.

It was the aroma of seasonings and salt mixed with the smell of fermentation. Shi Wen couldn't even imagine how delicious it would be once the goose eggs were pickled and cracked open.

The aroma wafted through the air as Shi Wen came and Yan Kexing said to him, "Stop looking. Goose eggs this big need to be pickled for at least forty-five days before they're ready to eat."

Shi Wen instantly flopped down on the sofa, looking at Yan Kexing: "So long?!"

Yan Kexing brushed the hair away from his face. "I'll have someone send some salted duck eggs over so I can make you Golden Sand Chicken."

Shi Wen raised his hand and asked, "What is Jinsha Chicken?"

Yan Kexing: "Chicken wrapped in salted egg yolk - a savory and rich dish with a fantastic flavor."

Shi Wen's eyes lit up instantly. "I want to eat this."

The salted duck eggs that Yan Kexing sent just arrived, and before I could even make golden sand chicken, Zhu Ji came to visit first.

Shi Wen had almost forgotten about her monthly physical exam. "I'm sorry to trouble you to come all this way again."

Zhu Ji smiled broadly, "Every test brings a surprise, how could it be tiring?"

Shi Wen, "That's not necessarily true."

"I trust my intuition." Zhu Ji looked him up and down. "Your data must be even better."

Talk is cheap. Zhu Ji and Duan Kuo brought down the equipment, ready to test Shi Wen.

A monthly test is a small-scale test; a test every three months is a large-scale test.
