Last night she gave fifty cents to her eldest son and asked them to buy a gift for the visit.

Generally, it consists of the three common ingredients: maltose, salt and eggs.

These things are hard currency.

Since you already have eggs at home, you don't need to buy them. Just buy some maltose and half a pound of salt.

"Grandma, did the hens lay eggs today?" Jiang Fubao asked while eating breakfast, pretending to be ignorant.

"They laid twelve eggs. These six hens are really good. Today I have to ask you brothers to go to the mountain to find some insects to feed them. I was busy yesterday and forgot about it. We must not forget it today. They can't just eat grass seeds. Otherwise they won't be able to lay eggs."

Zhang Jinlan became excited when she mentioned this.

With a granddaughter as our lucky star, not only did eight chickens fall from the sky, but we also had twelve extra eggs in the house every day.

Half of it was kept for the children to nourish their bodies, and the rest was saved and sold in town every half a month.

An egg costs two cents.

That works out to be three hundred and sixty cents a month.

It’s more profitable than farming.

The chicken coop will be completed in two days.

When there is a rooster, some eggs must be left in the nest. When the hens hatch chicks, a lot more chickens will be produced.

Chickens lay eggs, eggs lay chickens, and chickens lay eggs again.

In this cycle, the money in the family will only increase.

However, there was one thing that Zhang Jinlan found very strange. The size of these eggs was different every day. Some were particularly large, almost the same size as the ones she picked up in the mountains, and two were a whole circle smaller.

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.

Just don't think about it anymore.

After all, it's free, you don't spend a penny, so the hen can lay as much as she wants.

After breakfast.

Jiang Fubao and his brothers went to the mountains to look for insects.

With the golden finger, she only needs to open the shield and hear this.

Wherever you point, there will be a big fat worm in the grass nest.

This made her brothers admire her very much.

After coming back, Zhang Jinlan was shocked when she saw half a basket of bugs.

"Hey, where did you pick up so many bugs? Did you destroy their nest?"

"Grandma, wherever Fubao points, there will be a lot of bugs. It's all thanks to Fubao, otherwise we wouldn't be able to pick up so many. Grandma, please give them to the hens so that they can lay more eggs. I want to eat boiled eggs tomorrow."

Jiang Tongtu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

The eggs taste really good.

He wants to eat it every day.

When it comes to catching bugs, he is the most dedicated.

"You are really capable. You didn't eat eggs this morning. So, grandma will make you some egg custard tonight. Use six eggs and give each of you half a bowl! As for boiled eggs, we will boil them tomorrow morning. Grandma will take out two more eggs. Each of you eight children will have one egg. No one is allowed to snatch them!"

See the children are sensible.

There are so many bugs here, and my eldest grandson is about to get engaged.

Zhang Jinlan was in a particularly good mood and was rarely generous.

Just finished.

The greedy Jiang Tongtu jumped up and down on the spot.

"Yes, grandma, I love egg custard the most."

Grandma said that each person could have half a bowl so that he could eat to his heart's content.

Jiang Fubao saw this scene.

The food at home has improved a lot compared to when she first came here, and her brothers' eyes are full of joy.

Just now when they were catching insects in the mountains, they were discussing what to eat in the evening.

Not like before.

It’s always brown rice porridge and sprouts.

No tricks at all.

Another night passed and the sun just came out.

Jiang Fubao took back the four basins of eggs from under the bed.

There are too many to store and there is really no place to consume them.

Too many eggs.

Grandma hasn't been going to the mountain recently.

She went bug hunting with her brothers yesterday and couldn't avoid their sight.

The egg cannot be taken out.

What a headache.

She only has space for four basins.

Two people are washing vegetables, one is washing face and the other is washing butt.

If only she had a secret base.

Unfortunately, she was too small to go anywhere, let alone climb mountains, so she had to wait for a few years.

When she grows up, she must find a secret cave in the mountains and fill it with food. She will have more than enough food to eat and will not need to worry about natural disasters.

She is the food king of this world!

Jiang Fubao gets excited when he thinks about growing up.

She put the basin into the space.

Come out happily to wash face, brush teeth and eat breakfast.

Today I had brown rice porridge with boiled eggs.

Grandma kept her word and gave each of the eight eggs, one.

Including my eldest cousin who is already fifteen years old.

Hey.

In fact, she wanted everyone in the family to have eggs.

But the eggs can’t be taken out. You can’t let a chicken lay dozens of eggs every day. That would be too scary.

If others knew about this, they would think she had six chicken monsters in her house.

I can only think of other ways, as long as there is enough money at home.

Grandma would probably keep all the eggs for her family.

Thinking about it.

Then I saw grandma and the others go out.

Zhang Jinlan was outside the door with her eldest son, daughter-in-law and eldest grandson.

Ran to the neighboring Zhoujia Village.

After walking for less than two quarters of an hour, we arrived at the village entrance.

Matchmaker Zhou was waiting at the entrance of the village early.

Led them to Zhou's house.

The Zhou family lives in the middle of the village. Their house is slightly bigger than the Jiang family's. Unlike the several blue brick and tile houses at the entrance of the village, the Zhou family's house is also built with a mixture of mud and wooden boards.

The door is not closed.

Because I knew the Jiang family would come.

So Matchmaker Zhou took the Jiang family in without knocking on the door.

The main room was already filled with men and women.

"Hey, look, you're waiting here so early? Sister Jinlan, look at how much Sister Zhou values ​​you."

As long as the matchmaker wants, she can praise people with her mouth.

This small thing made the Jiang family feel more favorable towards the Zhou family.

Who doesn't like to be valued?

"It's just a little gift, don't think it's disgusting." Seeing that the Jiang family also brought gifts, the Zhou family smiled more sincerely.

"You're welcome. Please take a seat." Zhou Chen said enthusiastically.

On the other side, Jiang Fubao, after breakfast, went to the mountain with his brothers again.

We have to catch more insects.

These hens are really greedy. They ate all the bugs I caught yesterday.

But this morning a hen laid an extra egg.

Zhang Jinlan was so happy.

She had lived for decades and had never seen a chicken lay three eggs in a day.

"Second cousin, let's go inside. There are no bugs here."

Jiang Fubao had already opened the shield at the foot of the mountain.

Yesterday's catch was too fierce.

The insects in this area are almost 'extinct'.

There are only a few scattered sounds, and if you don't listen carefully, the sound is very small.

So hard to find.

Jiang Fubao set his sights on the inner circle.

"That's not a good idea. It's too dangerous inside." Jiang Tongmu hesitated.

My grandma told me before she left that I shouldn’t go too deep.

"Brother, come inside and take a walk. There are no bugs. What will the hens eat? If they can't lay eggs tomorrow, it will be over. I was counting on having eggs to eat every day."

The greedy Jiang Tongtu advised.

"Yes, we are here, it's okay. If there is any danger, I will take Fubao and the others to run first, and you will follow behind, second brother."
