"These chickens really don't run away."
Grandma Hua Shu remarked.
Wu Yue smiled. "They have people feeding them and even catching bugs for them. It's safe to forage here. Chickens aren't stupid; of course they're going to stick around and not leave."
Hearing her explanation, all the women started to laugh.
She led them into the chicken pen, and sure enough, they found several eggs in the grass nests inside.
Wu Yue walked over and picked up the eggs from a nest. "These are the eggs I was talking about. They're delicious boiled or scrambled."
Grandma Hua Shu took an egg and examined it for a moment. "I think I've eaten this kind of egg before."
It wasn't just her; several of the other women around her frowned. "We've eaten them too. The taste is so rank, it makes you want to throw up."
Wu Yue laughed. "If you eat them raw, of course they won't taste good. Raw eggs have a rank taste, but they become delicious once they're cooked."
