Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Chapter 601

With the pond, the ducks swim happily. Living by the sea, there is no shortage of small fish and shrimps, so the ducks lay eggs very frequently.

A total of 13 ducks and 16 chickens survived from the first batch of hatched duck and chicken eggs.

Among them, there are 8 female ducks and 5 drakes; there are 12 hens and 4 roosters.

These chickens and ducks all belong to the camp.

When there were more chicken and duck eggs, each family would take some to hatch. Almost every household in the camp raised a dozen chickens and ducks.

Chen Fen's team is composed of women. They are unable to handle heavy work, so they simply put a lot of energy into raising chickens and ducks. They raise the most chickens and ducks, as many as seventy or eighty.

Worried that the chickens and ducks would be stolen by other survivors, they thought of countless ways, watching them day and night and guarding them strictly, and only then were they able to raise the chickens and ducks safely and until they could lay eggs normally.

The scale of these seventy or eighty chickens and ducks was very spectacular at that time. Other survivors also gradually learned that eggs could be exchanged here. The price was very high, usually two kilograms of fish for one egg. However, they were not short of fish, but other foods.

Chicken eggs and duck eggs can be used to make a variety of delicious foods, which can not only improve the taste but also provide nutrition.

So there are many people coming to exchange chicken and duck eggs for wine every day.

Therefore, although Chen Fen's team had the fewest people going out fishing, their food storage was still full because they exchanged chicken eggs and duck eggs every day.

The Zhou family raised eight hens, two roosters, six ducks, and one drake, and Bang Zhipeng and his family also raised seven or eight chickens and ducks.

So their family never lacks eggs and can harvest more than a dozen eggs a day.

But the chickens and ducks in the camp were laying more and more eggs, but fresh eggs would go bad if left for a long time.

Aunt Fu, a member of Chen Fen's team, knew how to make salted duck eggs, so she led everyone to make salted duck eggs from the extra duck eggs.

The method of making salted duck eggs is relatively simple. Aunt Fu cleans the fresh duck eggs, rolls them in high-proof liquor, coats them with a thick layer of salt, and finally wraps them tightly with plastic wrap, places them in a jar, and seals them for storage.

This high-proof liquor was provided free of charge by the Zhou family.

After half a month, the salted duck eggs can be eaten.

The first batch of salted duck eggs pickled by Aunt Fu were so oily and sandy, salty and delicious that everyone in the camp followed suit.

Zhong Tiyun knows how to make preserved eggs, a traditional northern dish, using both chicken and duck eggs. She mixes alkali, quicklime, and salt in a certain ratio, then soaks the duck and chicken eggs in the water.

The process of making preserved eggs is more complicated.

You need to add quicklime to water first, wait for it to fully react and release heat, then add soda ash, salt and wood ash, stir evenly, then she soaks the washed duck eggs and chicken eggs in one by one, and waits for about half a month and it's done.

When the basins of preserved eggs were marinated and placed in the tent, Zhong Tiyun's hands were covered with gray-black mud, but a smile was on her face: "When they are done, we will make preserved egg and lean meat porridge."

Grandma Pang smiled and said, "Tiyun, your cooking skills are amazing. These preserved eggs are even better than the ones I bought at the supermarket!"

As she spoke, she picked up a clean towel and handed it to Zhong Tiyun: "Wipe your hands quickly, don't get your clothes dirty."

That evening, Zhou Shuwan had just finished acupuncture for his mother.

The treatment has now entered the third stage. After the acupuncture is completed, he will be able to walk again with the help of others.

Before, Zhong Tiyun had always lacked the strength to move her body, and her waist and legs were unable to exert force.

But today he seemed to have some strength. With the support of Zhou Jianghai and Mu Mu, he walked breathlessly for half an hour before sitting in a wheelchair to rest.

She was sweating profusely and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Grandma Pang, Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan were all busy with other things beside her while looking at her with concern.

"Mom, how do you feel today?" Zhou Shuwan walked to Zhong Tiyun and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
