Chapter 218 Lost and Found (2)
"Wait a minute. It's a bit pathetic to doubt them right from the start, isn't it?"
"but……"
“Coo…”
Blue rested his head on Ye Kai's shoulder, seemingly finding support, as Chaim stroked him soothingly.
“Who hatched it?”
“That’s the problem…”
"Goo!"
Black flapped his wings high.
"Oh, it's you? Then who is the father?"
"Goo!"
Her wings were pointed directly at Tulio.
"Oh, so it is. I knew you have no moral integrity, but I didn't expect you would even ride a bird."
“…I misjudged you.”
"Wait! This is impossible!? How did you get Black to hatch the eggs?!"
"That's a cruel thing to say to a girl."
“So that’s not a problem at all!”
Fino rarely followed suit, pushing Tulio into a desperate situation.
“It’s just a joke.”
“Please spare me…”
“If the murderer is not Black, then it must be Purple?”
He shook his head, apparently calm and without any doubt.
“The murderer cannot be found.”
"Why?"
"Because, that's what it is, a black egg."
"Egg?"
“Coo-coo!”
Black nodded, agreeing with Ye Kai's statement. Ye Kai understood the hatching mechanism of unfertilized eggs, so he guessed right.
"Unfertilized eggs are eggs that will not hatch chicks, right? They are not only produced by Cham, right?"
"Hmm. Birds have adequate nutrition, and female birds will lay eggs. If there is no mating, the eggs will become unfertilized. Maybe there is a condition?"
"Goo!"
“If I had to guess, it would probably be when the nutritional status is very good?”
“Coo-coo!”
Seems to be the correct answer. No doubt they have been eating whole fish for the past six months or so, and hunting small animals themselves when meat is scarce. Of course, calcium intake is abundant. The brain may send out estrus signals due to excessive intake.
"Ah, because the female bird's body is designed to actively absorb calcium to form the eggshell. I think this is the result."
"Oh, I see. Sorry, Blue, I misunderstood you."
"Chirp!"
Blue turned his head away.
"I'm sorry, don't be angry. I don't seriously doubt you."
"Chirp!"
Blue was hugged tightly by Chaim and caressed gently, and as if in tacit agreement, he leaned his head on Chaim's shoulder.
------------------
“So, what do we do with this thing?”
Chaim pointed at the black eggs and asked. No matter what the temperature, unfertilized eggs would just rot.
"Um……"
Ye Kai also crossed his arms, resting his chin on his hands, thinking hard. At this time, Black rolled the egg with his toes and rolled it in front of Ye Kai.
“Hmm? Can I eat it?”
"Chirp!"
"Yeah, it's a shame to waste it."
To express his gratitude to Black, Ye Kai squatted down and stroked the egg, which was about 30 centimeters in diameter and seemed to weigh 14 to 15 kilograms.
Ye Kai impulsively wanted to store the egg in the "warehouse" to try. After all, it was still uncertain whether this egg was defined as life by magic. After all, it was not fertilized, so it could not be said to be life.
But considering certain conditions, it could still be the origin of life. This somewhat philosophical question makes people curious about what answer magic will give.
However, he decided that the experiment was too blasphemous and decided not to do it. He gently placed the egg in the nearby grass and went about his daily exercise.
While Tulio and the others were preparing the hot pot, Ye Kai stood up the egg, sat down with it in his arms, and tapped it gently with the handle of a knife, trying to crack the egg. If the technique was wrong, Black's care would be wasted.
After successfully cracking the top of the egg, the contents were poured into a large bowl. The bright orange yolk exuded a fresh scent and looked very delicious.
"Let's make some scrambled eggs for now. It looks like it won't matter how much you use."
The egg yolk alone is enough to make hundreds of eggs.
They beat the eggs, added a little salt and spices, and made scrambled eggs like an appetizer. Because they were exercising before breakfast, everyone was hungry, so they gathered around with forks.
Everyone said "delicious, delicious", and Black was very proud. The Senel birds seemed to be embarrassed to touch the egg dishes, probably because they had already eaten breakfast. They pecked at the dried beans in the bowl and made happy noises.
Next, in the same shallow pan, a generous amount of butter was added to the beaten eggs to create an omelette, which was then topped with a sour jam called Klufat.
Klufa is a slightly sweet fruit that tastes very much like a tomato and is often used in various sauces. With the addition of salt and spices, it tastes just like ketchup.
Klufat is a good fruit that can grow into a large tree. Due to its large yield and wide range of uses, it is cheap and commonly found in the market. So Ye Kai also saved some to cook into sauce for later use.
Although Chaim and Fino did not feel hungry as they kept forking over the scrambled eggs, the omelette reminded them of their hometown. The half-cooked egg liquid slowly flowed out, adding to their nostalgic feelings.
(Ah, I want to eat egg rice, fried rice, egg fried rice!)
There is currently no place that can meet this urgent need.
----------------
As they were busy preparing, time passed quickly, and Elinor and her son arrived at the palace parade ground. Fran followed with a basket in hand.
“Why did it become like this?”
Seeing the various egg dishes spread out, Sena could be forgiven for feeling confused.
“Even if you ask me, maybe I’m just forcing myself to say it because it’s popular, right?”
"Um?"
After explaining what happened previously, Sena made a surprised sound.
“Is that why we had an egg party?”
“Yeah. Try all the flavors. Enjoy them.”
"Even so, Brother Ye Kai, this is..."
“Full of egg rolls~”
Some were covered in various sauces, or had various vegetables and meats finely chopped, or mixed and cooked. It was amazing how many variations there were on egg rolls. There were some creative dishes, but they were completely overshadowed by the others.
Luckily, Zein seemed to like it very much and started tasting it immediately.
At this time, Ye Kai also changed from egg rolls to grilled meatballs.
“This is delicious too~”
The grilled meatballs had a different chewy texture than the egg rolls. Zein seemed to like it, too.
"Really? There are many kinds of them."
It starts off savory, then gets sweetened, then the meatballs are lightly flavored with fish bone broth.
