After washing her face, Lu Jueyu goes to the chicken coop and fills up the feeders and water bowls. She noticed that after the chickens ate the water and chicken feed from her space, they became stronger and produced more eggs each day. Now, they lay at least four to five eggs a day which is illogical.
She picked up the eggs, placed them in a bamboo basket, and went to wash them. There are 25 eggs in total. If they are lucky, they will be the ones with double yolks between the eggs. As a chef, she knows how to differentiate eggs and separate double yolks from other eggs. Of the 46 eggs in the kitchen, a total of 12 eggs may contain double yolks.
She stores the double yolk eggs in her space and the rest in the cabinet. After filling up the water tank in the kitchen with the water from the space, Lu Jueyu started to make breakfast. The weather is so cold today, so she made ginger milk, scallion pancakes, and meat buns.
After making breakfast, she stored some food in her own space. She walked to the backyard and saw that it was not yet dawn, so she thought of the old men in the cowshed. At this time, their production team did not have much work. So, their food will be reduced too. Thinking of their situation, she took a basket from the cupboard and walked towards the cowshed.
Fortunately, it was still dark and no one noticed her. When she arrived at the cowshed, she heard people arguing and there was a sound of beating coming from inside. She was worried about the old men, but she couldn’t go in and expose herself. This would put her family and even Li Chenmo in danger. In the end, she could only wait anxiously behind the tree.
Not long after, she saw Xiao Yiqing walking out of the cowshed with obvious anger in her eyes. She spat out and threw a rod to the bush before leaving. After confirming that she had left, Lu Jueyu hurried to the cowshed. As soon as she entered, she saw that the old men were injured. They had bruises on their faces and blood on their arms or legs.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Lu Jueyu walked towards them quickly, checking their injuries.
"Hiss... little girl, we’re fine. It was just a small wound." said an old man while taking a deep breath in pain.
"Grandpa, let me see your wounds. You can’t leave them untreated in the winter. It could lead to bigger problems." Lu Jueyu persuaded them as she helped them lean against the wall.
Before they could react, she took out a bamboo tube filled with water, a piece of clean cloth, and a jar of ointment for wounds from her space using the bamboo basket as a cover. She poured water on the cloth and began to wash the wound, then applied ointment. It took her fifteen minutes to treat their wounds.
When she was done, she handed the ointment to them and asked, "Grandpa, what does Xiao Yiqing want from you?"
"You know her?" an old man asked.
"Yes, she arrived a few days ago. She is from the capital and is one of the educated youths sent by the government." She nodded.
Hearing her words, the elderly snorted and said, "What educated youth? She is just a greedy vermin! She came to force us to hand over our map."
