Chapter 224: Making Century Eggs

Now, with a shake of the points, the cattle and sheep in the ranch were in herds, and chickens and ducks were in flocks. It was extremely lively.

If she spent some points to exchange for feed, she would not have to worry about them being hungry at all. If she did not want to spend the additional points, she would plant some forage on the farm. When it matured in five to six days, she would have food for the cows and sheep.

The space’s classification was clear. Cows produced milk, cows produced meat, and harvesting with one click saved time and effort. Unknowingly, her warehouse was already quite impressive. All she lacked was to exchange it for silver.

However, she was not in a hurry. Anyway, the space was always fresh. There was no problem of food deteriorating and expiring. She would store it first and use it slowly. Could the money fly away?

Before going to bed at night, Xiaoxiao usually went to shop in the Space Mall. There were hundreds of pages of goods, and she really couldn’t finish reading them all in a short period of time. Of course, there was another reason why she wasn’t in a hurry to read too much-she couldn’t help but buy them as she read them. She was addicted to online shopping. Once she started, she couldn’t stop.

In order to prevent herself from spending too many points, Xiaoxiao strictly stipulated that she could only spend 1,000 points a day at most.

She exchanged a variety of things. They were a beautiful hair tie, a piece of cloth, seasonings, an iron pot and a kitchen knife. She even exchanged a sword and an inconspicuous slingshot.

The slingshot was naturally prepared for her. It was very powerful after using a rubber band. She could shoot without any mistakes.

As for that sword… Ahem, at that time, she vaguely felt that it was silvery-white and shiny. It looked a little like a couple weapon with the dagger Little Big Brother gave her. She instantly liked it and thought that she would have a chance to give it to him in the future, right?

She was shopping with her eyes closed on the bed, but she did not know that an uninvited guest had arrived at her house in the dead of night.

A figure wrapped up tightly and secretly poured something into the Ning Family’s paddy field before running away.

At night, Old Sir Ning turned over in bed and muttered, “Where did you go so late at night? Why aren’t you back for so long?”

Old Madam Ning, who was taking off her clothes, pursed her lips. “Do I need your permission to shit?”

It was unknown what the people in the old residence were thinking. After being rejected by Ning Fengnian, they actually thought of an even more roundabout plan to save themselves. The entire family packed up early in the morning and brought Little Aunt Ning, who was all dressed up, to find a matchmaker.

At this moment, Xiaoxiao had just woken up and was making breakfast for her family. She definitely couldn’t stand eating plain porridge and side dishes every day, but the weather was gradually getting hot. She was also a little tired of eating soup dumplings early in the morning. It was alright to eat prawn dumplings occasionally, but it didn’t seem so delicious if they kept eating them. Alright, to put it simply, she wanted to cook new food again.

Under the circumstances, Xiaoxiao’s mouth was very picky. Back in her glory days, she did not eat the same breakfast for a month. However, at that time, she had money and status. Most of the time, it was others who prepared it and sent it over, so it was less fun for her to do it herself.

Thinking about it this way, transmigration gave her an opportunity to find her original intention.

Two days ago, she bought fresh duck eggs from the county. She mixed the lime, tea grounds, salt, baking soda, plant ash, yellow soil, rice shells, and the massicot powder exchanged from the Space Mall evenly and marinated them in a vat to maintain a suitable temperature. Two weeks later, she would obtain delicious century eggs!

However, she didn’t have the patience to wait for two weeks, so she spent her points to exchange for 10 century eggs. This morning, she cooked a pot of century egg lean pork porridge that she had been longing for.

She had been spending points very generously recently, but even so, with the support of “So It’s You”, her space credit balance still rose at a gratifying pace.

Now, it was close to 30,000 again. One could imagine how rich she would become when Mrs. Shen’s shop was set up!

Rong Yan, who was next door, had just washed up. This morning, he received news from County Magistrate Shen that the young man whom they saved had woken up. He planned to visit him today with the cover of the academy so that he could find out if this person had any evidence to take down Yan Lu.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he smelled an unfamiliar and strange smell. How should he put it? It felt like rotten eggs at first, but after taking two more breaths, it strangely lingered… It was really unbelievable.

Yun Er, who was following closely behind, sniffed. “What’s this smelly and fragrant scent?”

His words were rough but reasonable. Just as the buddies were about to scold him for spouting nonsense, they instantly felt that it made sense.

The Ning Family also woke up to this smell. Big Brother and Second Brother were very confident in the food that their younger sister cooked. Even though they felt that it was a little strange for the first time, they chose to eat century egg lean meat porridge for breakfast without hesitation. Seeing that their two sons were enjoying it, Ning Fengnian and his wife also scooped a big bowl each.

The Yun guards had become more and more curious recently, so they all asked for a portion with the thought of testing their courage. Only Rong Yan had a bowl of chicken soup noodles in front of him.

Xiaoxiao could tell that this Little Big Brother must have a noble status. Other than needing to hide it in front of them, his words and temperament were too outstanding. Even his eating posture and rules were not something an ordinary family could raise. Such a noble person would definitely be picky about the food he ate. Xiaoxiao originally thought that he would not want to try food that did not look good like century eggs.

Rong Yan had mixed feelings. He didn’t want to try the black century egg, but he felt that the sounds of the people eating porridge around him were too noisy. He even felt that he was gradually getting used to the taste of the century egg and was even a little eager to try it. Xiaoxiao looked at his expression and asked softly, “Why don’t I scoop a small bowl for you to try?” Rong Yan, who had a good appetite recently, pointed at her bowl. “I want a big bowl.”

Xiaoxiao understood immediately and even specially chose a bowl with the same pattern as hers.

When she was cooking, she conveniently fed herself until she was half full and could not eat much, so she used a small rice bowl. Everyone else had to do physical work, so they used big bowls. Little Big Brother obviously had to grow taller with a bowl of noodles and porridge.

Then she couldn’t fall behind others. She couldn’t possibly have the cutest height difference which she only reached his chest, right?

Although that looked very cute, it made her look very weak. If she occasionally wanted to launch a surprise attack or something, it would be embarrassing! Could it be that she had to jump up if she wanted to kiss him in the future?

With that thought in mind, she heated up a glass of milk for herself and gulped it down.

Ning Anhui couldn’t understand. “It’s fine if you drink milk tea, but how can milk be delicious?”

Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth. “I can grow taller.”

Ning Anhui looked at his eldest brother, who was a head taller than him, then at Rong Yan, who was slightly taller than him. He rubbed his stomach and leaned over. “Give me a glass too.”

Xiaoxiao expressed her suspicion. “You just ate two big bowls of porridge!” Ning Anhui burped. “There’s still space if I squeeze it in my stomach.” Then, he whispered to her, “Don’t let Big Brother and Ah Yan drink it! They can’t grow any taller!”

Xiaoxiao agreed deeply, but she still gave Little Big Brother special treatment and secretly brought two puddings-this thing was not easy to keep, so she specially reminded Little Big Brother to eat early.

Rong Yan nodded. He felt sweet even before he ate it.

“I’ll go back and pack up. We’ll set off together later..”
