Chapter 32 Making Preserved Eggs

"Yes, yes, why don't you want to do this good thing? Brother Big Niu, you can only go to the town to earn a couple of dollars during the Chinese New Year, and stay at home the rest of the time! But Xiaoci, you are too serious. Our village hires people for ten cents. That's enough!" Jiang Guirong said with all his heart!
Although there are rumors in the village that Dashan's family sold the Ganoderma lucidum for [-] taels of silver, but it has to be saved!
Jiang Ci smiled and shook his head,

It's only twenty pennies a day, it's drizzle for her!

Then I walked from the house to the yard: "Grandma Qiao, you have so many chickens in your family, do you also store a lot of eggs?"

"Well! But this person can't even eat food, let alone chickens, so the eggs have been stored for half a month, and there are only about 60 of them. After a few days, when there are 100 eggs, they will be sold in the town!"

Then Qiao Huirong snatched a few eggs from the kitchen, and looked at the daughter-in-law to make sure she wasn't looking in her direction, so she stuffed them into Jiang Ci's hands: "Xiao Ci, take these five back and eat them first." If it’s not enough, come find Grandma Qiao again.”

Jiang Ci pushed back: "Grandma Qiao, what I mean is that you don't need to sell the eggs you saved in the town. I just want to use the eggs to make some food, so you can sell them all to me! Just at the price sold in the town, one piece Egg 2 Wen, you help me deliver the eggs to my house, and I will ask my mother to get the money for you!"

Qiao Huirong persuaded a few words, but Jiang Ci refuted them all, and saw Jiang Ci's face was determined, and finally Qiao Huirong had no choice but to agree, and after Jiang Ci left,
As soon as Qiao Huirong entered the room, he suddenly saw a bowl of meat on the table, and immediately caught up with Jiang Ci: "Xiao Ci, you forgot your meat!"

"My mother asked Grandma Qiao to bring this to you. The meat was brought from the mountains and it's not worth much. You can eat it without worry!"

Just when Qiao Huirong wanted to push the envelope again,
Wu Niu poked his head out of the house: "Grandma! This meat smells so good~"

Seeing the greedy look on his grandson's nose, Qiao Huirong's heart suddenly softened.
Jiang Ci smiled, said hello to Qiao Huirong, and left.

Back home, Jiang Ci was busy for a while, and finally got all the materials together.

As for Qian Guixiang, who had just paid 130 Wen to buy eggs, her heart was trembling at this moment: "Xiao Ci, our family can't eat so many eggs!"

"Mom, let's eat it when I go up the mountain to find wild eggs. The wild eggs are a little smaller, but they have high nutritional value! I want to make these domestic eggs into preserved eggs!"

"Preserved eggs? What are preserved eggs?" Qian Guixiang asked with a question mark.
"You'll know when I do well!" Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows,
Preserved eggs mixed with tofu, cold preserved eggs, cucumber preserved eggs, preserved eggs and lean meat porridge... These dishes are enduring dishes on people's dinner tables.

And now, it wants to be the first person to earn the first bucket of gold from preserved eggs.

Jiangci poured water into a large pot, then put quicklime in and stirred;

After the lime is stirred evenly, pour in plant ash, yellow mud and salt and continue stirring. After the temperature is completely cooled, put eggs,

Cover the egg with lime paste in the pot, and use iron wire to make a circle and fish it out, so that the lime on the surface of the egg will be more uniform and the color will be better.

Then put the eggs covered with lime paste into the sawdust, covered with sawdust, do not let the lime come out.

Finally, after finishing all this, Jiang Ci carefully put the sawdust-covered eggs in clay pots, and finally sealed them up.
The whole journey took less than half an hour,

"This...is it done?" Qian Guixiang couldn't believe it.

"Well! It's ready to eat after about 7-10 days!" Jiang Ci casually put the clay pot in the kitchen, and then went to the courtyard to teach Xiao Yunduo how to make medicinal materials!
And Qian Guixiang looked at the painted clay pot, which contained her 130 silver coins. If Xiao Anzi accidentally tripped over it, all the eggs would be broken.
So Qian Guixiang carefully moved the clay pot to her house,
In her life, this was the first time she saw so many eggs!They belong to her own family, so she has to take good care of them.
"What is that in your hand? Like a baby?" Shen Dashan couldn't help asking when he saw his daughter-in-law's mysterious appearance!
"What does it mean to be like a baby? This is a baby! Anyway, don't worry about it!"

………………

Si time the next day:
Jiang Ci, Shen Shu'an and Daniu pushed the cart into the town together. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the town, they met the Lan Yin trio again as expected!

"Sister! Did you buy a scooter?"

"Well! It's more convenient to have a car!"

Afterwards, Daniel pushed the trolley to the stall on the East Street, and found that there were already a dozen people waiting there.

"Oh, you guys are here! Hurry up, give me four catties first, I'm going to leave my mother's house!"

"Hey! Why should I serve you first? I came earlier than you, so I should serve it first!"

"You guys quarrel and go to the back! Don't delay me buying chestnuts! My old lady loves this fried chestnuts if she doesn't eat!"

These dozen or so people fell out over the candied chestnuts,
It shocked Daniel to the point of numbness!This townsman with high eyesight can actually appreciate the craftsmanship of their farmer's family?Why are you willing to wait for them by the side of the road just for this bite?
He was about to ask Jiang Ci, but saw that Jiang Ci had been held back by a man in silk clothes,
Daniel "hissed" gasped, did he read it right?The boss in this town, who is so awesome all day long, actually talks to Xiaoci with a smile on his face and a deliberative look?

And looking at the three brothers who just met at the entrance of the town, they seemed not surprised by this situation at all. They not only skillfully set up the stall, but also chatted with those waiting people skillfully,

Daniel instantly felt that his world had been turned upside down.

He only heard his mother say that Xiaoci's business in the town was doing well, and he thought his mother was exaggerating at the time, but now, how could that be an exaggeration?That's humility!

Just as Daniel was repairing his worldview,

Jiang Ci had already talked about the fruit business with someone, and the person who came was the housekeeper who came to buy apples and strawberries yesterday.

He looked anxious: "Girl, do you still have strawberries and apples from your relatives at home?"

"Red Fuji apple!" Jiang Ci pointed out!

The housekeeper was astonished: "Yes, yes, yes, they are Red Fuji apples and strawberries. To tell you the truth, I brought these two fruits back yesterday, and all the masters in the house were not dissatisfied! So I want to find a girl." Order some more fruit!"

Jiang Ci slightly hooked her lips, and she was not surprised at all. Strawberries and apples are popular tastes, and few people who have eaten them don't like them.

What to do if you like to eat?Of course the rich will try their best to get it!

This just fit her heart, because she used the name of "limited fruit" to hook up big customers~
However, Jiang Ci still pretended to be thinking about it: "My relatives in the capital know that I want to sell those fruits, but they bought a lot for my family two days ago. I don't know how many housekeepers you want?"

Hearing that there are more, the butler's eyes became more eager: "Our old lady's 300th birthday tomorrow, and many guests are invited, so I want 400 catties of strawberries and [-] catties of apples. I wonder if the girl has any?"
