After hanging up the phone, Wang Yong named the golden egg "Golden Egg." A golden egg, this is a huge selling point! It's just that he doesn't know what kind of chicks will hatch from this egg.

To see the chicks hatched from the Golden Egg as soon as possible, Wang Yong caught two roosters and five hens from the chicken farm and put them in the small world, letting the five hens incubate the Golden Eggs he left in the small world. Of course, the greedy Wang Yong didn't forget to keep twenty eggs for himself and his family, planning to taste the flavor of these Golden Eggs.

Back home, Wang Yong called Auntie first.

"Auntie, yeah! It's me. Don't cook lunch today, come over to my place."

"What, do you have something good to show off to Auntie?" Auntie asked with a smile.

"You'll know when you come over, it will definitely surprise you! Be careful not to drop your jaw."

"Okay, Auntie will come over to help you cook and see what can make Auntie drop her jaw." Auntie was intrigued by Wang Yong's words, wondering what could make him so confident.

After that, Wang Yong called Uncle Er and Uncle Li from the neighboring village, inviting them to taste the world's first Golden Eggs. Hearing that the eggs from the chicken farm were golden yellow, both were amazed and said they would come over immediately to see the novelty.

Wang Yong returned home and took out twenty Golden Eggs. He then brought out the two little chicks, Xiaohei and Xiaobai, who were chasing and biting each other in the small world. These two little guys had grown a bit bigger and were chubby and very cute. Suddenly in a strange environment, they were not very adapted. They squatted on the ground, looking around, and only when they saw Wang Yong, their familiar friend, did they run over and rub against his legs affectionately.

"Guests will be coming soon, you two little guys need to be good, okay?" Wang Yong said to the two little guys. After staying in the small world for a few days, the intelligence of the two little guys had clearly improved, and they seemed to understand Wang Yong's words. They nodded and barked a few times, as if telling Wang Yong that they wouldn't let him down.

Wang Yong let Xiaohei and Xiaobai play in the yard and started preparing lunch. He picked a large head of cabbage, two cucumbers, a bunch of chives, a few green peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, green beans, and potatoes from the small world. These vegetables were all in the greenhouse and were almost ready to be harvested. So Wang Yong could finally take them out and share them with his family without hiding them, fearing that others would discover his secret.

Just as he finished washing the vegetables, the yard echoed with the barks of Xiaohei and Xiaobai. Then came Auntie's scolding, followed by Auntie, Uncle, Uncle Er, and Aunt Er walking over, led by Xiaohei wagging his tail.

"Woof woof woof," Xiaohei barked at Wang Yong. After Wang Yong patted his head and praised him, he ran off to find Xiaobai standing guard at the door.

"What smart little guys! Really nice!" Uncle exclaimed.

Before Wang Yong could answer, Auntie asked anxiously, "Let Auntie see, these golden eggs, I've never seen them before. Are they really like gold?"

After saying that, Auntie entered the house first and immediately saw the golden eggs on the coffee table. She was stunned. They were indeed golden eggs, shining like they were made of gold, sparkling in the sunlight. The three people who followed were also shocked by the glittering Golden Eggs, thinking they were really made of gold, they looked so real.

Wang Yong received the expected praise. These golden eggs were definitely unique in the country. If they tasted good, this would be another source of income! Uncle held a Golden Egg, touched it with his hand, and held it up to the sun to examine it. Finally, he confirmed that it was indeed a real egg, not a model. He held it lovingly, unwilling to put it down.

"Today, you'll taste my cooking. I'll make a few dishes, and the main dish will be the Golden Egg. Let's see how it tastes," Wang Yong said proudly. He then carried the eggs into the kitchen and politely asked Auntie and Aunt Er to leave, saying it was a secret recipe that he wouldn't reveal. Auntie playfully hit Wang Yong on the head, and Wang Yong cooperated with a cry, which made Auntie scolded by Aunt Er, who was worried about her grandson. After they both left, Wang Yong started cooking.

Since the Golden Egg was the main dish, every dish would have eggs. First, Wang Yong prepared an egg custard, as it was the easiest. He beat the eggs, added an appropriate amount of oil and salt, mixed them well, and put them in the rice cooker to steam. Wang Yong gently tapped an egg on the edge of the bowl, but it didn't break. He applied a bit more force, and finally, the shell cracked. The egg white and yolk of the Golden Egg looked no different from ordinary free-range eggs, but there seemed to be a faint, indescribable aroma.

"Wang Yong, make more food, Li Uncle and Xiaohua will also come over," Uncle called from outside.

"Got it." Wang Yong thought of Xiaohua. He admired this optimistic and cheerful girl who was suffering from a terminal illness. Compared to her, he felt he was far behind. Thinking about this, Wang Yong felt that the spiritual spring in the small world might have some effect on Xiaohua's illness. He added a little of the spiritual spring water to the rice cooker and also replaced the water in the basin with the spiritual spring water.

While Wang Yong was busy preparing the dishes, Uncle Li, Li Hongxing, and Xiaohua arrived. Wang Yong stopped his work, came out to greet them, and after some small talk, he noticed that Xiaohua looked much better than the last time he saw her. She had gained some weight and no longer looked frail. Xiaohua noticed Wang Yong looking at her and made a funny face. Wang Yong smiled, nodded, and returned to the kitchen.

Soon, one dish after another was served on the table. Wang Yong's favorite, stir-fried cabbage, cucumber and egg stir-fry, chive and egg stir-fry, green bean and egg stir-fry, green pepper and egg stir-fry, tomato and egg stir-fry, and the only dish that didn't seem to have eggs, the Three Delicacies. Actually, the Three Delicacies also used eggs, but it wasn't obvious. Before frying the eggplant and potatoes, Wang Yong had coated them with a layer of egg liquid, which wasn't noticeable after frying, and no one noticed.

Everyone gathered around the table, and Wang Yong took out two bottles of local Five-Star Emperor wine, pouring a glass for Uncle Er, Uncle Li, and Uncle, and finally one for himself.

"Come, everyone, don't be shy, start eating!" Uncle invited Li Hongxing and Uncle Li. As for Xiaohua, her bowl was already piled high with dishes that Auntie and Aunt Er had served her.

"Come, let's have a drink first." Wang Yong raised his glass and said, "This wine is from my classmate's family winery. He gave me two cases last time, everyone try it and see how it is?"

"Hmm, not bad, it's original mash wine," Li Hongxing said first.

Uncle Li smelled the wine before taking a small sip. After savoring it for a while, he said, "Clear and bright, smooth and delicate, I didn't expect such good wine to be brewed here in our hometown."

"Ha, that Du kid boasts that he hired a national-level winemaker to carefully brew it and aged it for eight years. He specially opened a jar, and besides the two cases for Wang Yong, the other twenty-two cases were all sold out," Uncle, who knew Du Zhiyou, introduced to everyone.

"Hmm, it's far from the special supply Maotai," Uncle Er's comment made everyone shake their heads helplessly. Could this wine be compared to Maotai, especially the special supply Maotai? The Maotai Uncle Er drank at that time was definitely supplied to national leaders, or he wouldn't have been eligible for the special supply at his level. The Maotai supplied to national leaders and the wine from a small private winery in the city were incomparable.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Uncle Er got angry: "What are those faces for? Did I say something wrong? Can't it be compared?"

"It can't be compared, but comparing it to Maotai is unfair," Wang Yong said, dissatisfied.

Aunt Er also chimed in, "My grandson is right. If you don't like it, go home and get your Maotai. Wang Yong, listen to Auntie, your Uncle still has two bottles of Maotai at home. They were given to him by the Premier, and he didn't want to part with them when he came back from the capital. He also has a few cases of military-supplied Maotai from old comrades who visited us. Auntie will bring them over for you, so your Uncle won't keep stealing them and not learning his lesson."

After hearing Aunt Er's words, Wang Yong hadn't said anything yet, but Uncle's eyes lit up as he stared at Uncle Er, "Dad, you still have good stuff? I'll come over and take two bottles to try..."

Before Uncle could finish, Auntie's "dragon claws" grabbed him, making him wince in pain.

"Look at your age, acting like a child, how embarrassing."

A cell phone rang, and Wang Yong took it out to see it was Manager Li from the hotel.

"Hello, Manager Li."

Wang Yong answered the phone, thinking it was probably about buying vegetables.

"Hello, Wang Yong. The vegetables from you got a good response from customers. With the Mid-Autumn Festival coming up, this is one of our busiest times. I was wondering if you could supply another batch of vegetables."

Wang Yong thought for a moment and said, "I think I can pick another batch. When can you come over?"

"Great, I'll come over tomorrow," Manager Li said excitedly.

They chatted a bit more and hung up. Wang Yong mentioned that Manager Li would come over tomorrow to pick up the vegetables. Auntie immediately offered to help pick the vegetables early in the morning. Uncle Li, Uncle Er, and Aunt Er also joined in, and even Xiaohua enthusiastically said she would come to help.

After a lively meal, Auntie and Aunt Er cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Xiaohua also went to help. The remaining few sat on the sofa and chatted. Wang Yong took the opportunity to ask about Xiaohua's condition and said he knew an old Chinese medicine doctor who could help her.

Li Hongxing waved his hand and sighed, "Don't bother, it's no use. But recently, Xiaohua's health has improved a lot. She went to the hospital in the capital two days ago, and the doctor said her condition was very stable, and there were even signs of improvement. But this has never happened before, so he wasn't sure if it was real. At least, her condition isn't getting worse. The doctor kept asking where she was treated, which confused me. We've been on conservative treatment for years and haven't been to any other hospitals. In the end, the doctor couldn't figure out what happened and said it was a miracle."

Wang Yong understood immediately. This was the credit of the vegetables grown in his small world. After buying the chicks, Auntie often went to the county to see Xiaohua and found out that Xiaohua loved the cucumbers Wang Yong grew. They gathered all the cucumbers from home and Wang Yong's place and sent them to Xiaohua. After the greenhouse vegetables were ready, they often picked some and sent them to Xiaohua. Recently, the ripe jujubes and chestnuts from the orchard were also sent frequently. Eating so many spirit-infused foods, her body becoming stronger was inevitable, but the doctor saying her condition was improving was shocking to Wang Yong! Could the spirit energy actually repair her heart?

"Woof woof woof—" Xiaohei and Xiaobai's barks came from outside.

"Ah! These little guys are quite capable!"

"It's Xiaoliang coming back," Aunt Er stood up and walked out.
