After learning that Qian Changsheng had read the book,
Wanting to try to hatch chicks, Mrs. Qian immediately asked her servants to take money and go out to buy eggs that could hatch chicks.
Rural people raise chickens basically for eating eggs, so they go to the chicken coop to take eggs every day.
If a hen cannot gather enough eggs to hatch a nest, she will not sit on the brood and will just keep laying eggs.
But ever since Jueweizhai has been buying chickens and ducks everywhere... Recently, people around Chongcheng County have been creating conditions to let the hens sit on their nests and hatch a lot of chicks to raise.
The Qian family was rich, so they quickly bought a nest of eggs that could hatch chicks, and also bought a chicken coop and hens.
There were eight eggs in the chicken coop. Qian Changsheng thought about it, found two purses at home, stuffed them with silk, and took out two eggs from the chicken coop and put them in...
Qian Changsheng placed the two purses filled with eggs close to his body in his arms, and held a hand warmer outside... In this way, the eggs placed close to his body should be at the right temperature.
At night, he planned to find a wooden box to put the eggs in, and then put it in his bed. There was a heater in his bed, so the eggs should not be frozen.
Qian Changsheng was concentrating on the two eggs and thinking about how to hatch them. At that time, Gou Ying had already brought Li Damao and the others back to the Li family.
When Li Qingzhi heard the noise, he put away the manuscript and went downstairs. Li Damao and Li Ermao rushed over to hug him, "Dad!"
"Da Mao and Er Mao." Li Qingzhi squatted down and asked them what they had eaten at school today and how they were doing.
Li Damao said in a serious tone what happened today, but Li Ermao was different. He picked up some things that left a deep impression on him and said, "Dad, Brother Ying treated us to pork knuckles for lunch today. They were so delicious!"
Gou Tongzhi was not short of money, and his son lived alone outside, so he would not mistreat him financially. Every noon, the servants of the Gou family would prepare a rich lunch for Gou Ying, and would also prepare meals for Li Damao and Li Ermao.
Li Qingzhi did not refuse. After all, Gou Ying lived in his school and often came to his place for free meals.
"Da Mao and Er Mao, you have worked hard in your studies, have some pot rice cakes." Li Laogen made six bowls of pot rice cakes with boiling water and brought them out, giving one bowl to each person, including Li Qingzhi and Chang Cui.
Guoci is a local food made from glutinous rice. After the glutinous rice is boiled in water until soft, it is mashed into a paste with a spatula. Then the pot is heated and the glutinous rice paste is spread evenly on the bottom of the pot with a spatula to form a thin layer…
The glutinous rice paste will be baked dry and become thin crispy flakes with a little burnt brown color like wall skin. This is Guoci.
Guoci can be eaten dry or soaked in boiling water. If you add some brown sugar when soaking, it will definitely be one of the children’s favorite foods.
Li Laogen added sugar to the pot of glutinous rice tea. Li Damao and the others ate it happily. Li Qingzhi also brought a bowl: "Thank you, Dad."
Upon hearing this, Li Laogen breathed a sigh of relief.
After he mentioned his desire to get married this afternoon, he felt more and more guilty the more he thought about it.
Li Qingzhi, his son, came to him on his own initiative. He had never raised Li Qingzhi. To be honest, it was actually Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye who raised him. If it weren't for these two people, he might have starved to death!
