Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1103 Space
The other large piece was hidden under a big tree in the alley at the door, so that it would be within reach if something really happened at home.

Perhaps he was worried that his son would not be able to find the things he had hidden, so he left a clue to the next treasure in the box where the second gold brick was placed.

But what he never expected was that he didn't even have the time to say where he hid the first piece of gold before it disappeared so suddenly.

All these things are now cheap to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu shook his head and sighed in a pretentious manner, saying that the other party was unlucky, so he put the things away again.

Since he couldn't sleep, Zhang Yu simply started to work in the space.

The space is full of eggs again, it's time to pick them up.

While picking up eggs, he discovered that the hen had hatched a group of fluffy chicks without him noticing.

Judging from the size of the chicks, I guess they are the ones that escaped the net when I was collecting eggs the last few times.

Zhang Yu had no choice but to accept this. Although the flow rate of space and external time had slowed down and was fixed at 2:1, it was still much faster than the outside world.

In addition, the chicken flock is already large, and if the eggs are picked up a little late, or a few are accidentally left behind, the old hens will sit on brood.

There are always two or three times in ten chapters when, as soon as you enter the space, you will find an old hen with her newborn chicks foraging there.

He was also helpless about this.

We can only target the grown-up roosters.

After collecting the eggs, he dealt with a batch of grown roosters and old hens that were more than two or three years old.

This is the case with chickens, so the ducks and geese naturally cannot be let off either.

To be honest, the ducks and geese we raised at the beginning only laid eggs and basically couldn't hatch them.

At the beginning, Zhang Yu had to rely on artificial breeding.

Place fertilized duck and goose eggs in a hen's nest and let the hen incubate them.

But later, after a long time, after generations of reproduction, the ducks and geese actually learned how to hatch eggs again.

This has led to the current situation.

But this is also a good thing, it saves me a lot of worry.

There is just one bad thing, you have to be diligent in picking up eggs and don't miss any, otherwise they will burst out in large numbers.

As for the pigs, Zhang Yu had cleaned them out several times. With a small base number, the population is now expanding at a much slower rate and can barely maintain normal operations.

Speaking of pigs, Zhang Yu suddenly remembered the two black pigs that signed in from the system at the beginning. After such a long period of reproduction, there are already quite a few of them, so it's time to have a feast.

Speaking of food, Zhang Yu has put a lot of thought into it.

Boars must be processed in some way so that their meat does not smell fishy.

In order to make the meat taste better, he even found someone to teach him a certain skill.

Fortunately, the space can be controlled by consciousness, so he doesn't have to do many things himself, which greatly alleviates his sense of guilt.

Thinking of the taste of black pork, he couldn't help swallowing and turned his gaze to the group of black pigs.

After looking around, his eyes finally fell on a medium-sized boar.

It was processed neatly and then divided.

I have to say that black pork is different from ordinary pork.

The black pork in front of you has a rose-red color, the muscle fibers are delicate and tight, and you can find that it is very elastic when you touch it.

Although the fat is a bit thick, the fat layers are distinct and as white as snow, revealing an almost translucent texture.

Some places even have beautiful marble patterns.

He couldn't wait to taste the black pork. He took out all the pork belly from the black pig, cut it into large pieces, and prepared to stew a large pot of braised pork.

As soon as the meat was put into the pot, I felt the difference.

There is almost no fishy smell, only a full fragrance at the tip of the nose.

Compared with ordinary pork, the fishy smell of black pork is almost negligible, and it is replaced by a rich meaty aroma.

He stared at the pork belly in the pot intently. He saw it tumbling in the pot, fat slowly oozing out, and making a sizzling sound.

As the heat rises, the unique meaty aroma becomes stronger, making people unable to help but swallow their saliva.

He took a deep breath, and the unique meaty aroma went straight to his heart and lungs.

He kept stirring the meat in the pan to stir-fry out the excess fat.

Stir-fry until golden brown, he nodded with satisfaction, then added an appropriate amount of hot water, some common seasonings such as onion, ginger, cinnamon, star anise, soy sauce, and sugar color that had been boiled in advance.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer.

When the meat in the pot became tender and crispy, and one could tell by looking at it that the meat was fat but not greasy, and lean but not skinny, he slowly opened the lid of the pot, and suddenly the whole space was filled with the aroma of braised pork.

He carefully took out a few pieces of the braised pork and put them on a plate. The gravy was flowing in the plate, and the sight of it made people swallow their saliva.

Without even having time to put the plate down, he picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

Instantly, the rich taste blooms on the tip of the tongue and delicious juice explodes in the mouth.

The meat is delicate and juicy, with alternating fat and lean parts, and tastes just right.

The fat part melts in your mouth and exudes a hint of milky aroma, while the lean meat part is chewy and leaves you with an endless aftertaste.

There was neither steamed buns nor rice, but he still ate two large plates of braised pork in one go before he breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

This is how people live!
While he was in a good mood, he turned on the system.

Seeing that the number of draws on the system had accumulated to 58, he pursed his lips and decisively made ten consecutive draws.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the lottery. You have won 10mL of plant growth liquid x3, 1 ordinary tool box, 5 catties of apples x3, and 1 low-level water source detector..."

The first thing he saw was the plant growth fluid.

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the plant growth liquid.

I once drew a sample of plant growth liquid and deeply felt its effect on plants.

He was so happy that he could draw the plant growth liquid again this time.

Good stuff, put it away first!

Then he took out the ordinary toolbox.

He didn't hold out much hope at first, but when he opened it, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Although it was just an ordinary toolbox, it contained quite a few tools. Basically, everything he could think of was in it.

Zhang Yu took out a tool, waved it in the air twice, and found it very easy to use.

Whether it is the size of the tool, the weight, or the small changes in certain places, they are very consistent with his usage habits, as if they were tailor-made for him.

Zhang Yu carefully put away the toolbox. He decided that this would be his exclusive toolbox from now on.

Zhang Yu just glanced at the apples and other things behind him and ignored them.

His eyes finally fell on the low-level water source detector.

Low-level water source detection!

Is that what he meant?
