Spatial Farming: Rough Man Orion Dotes on His Wife Too Much

Chapter 97: Salted Duck Eggs

The next day, before dawn, Gu Rao woke up by herself, rarely stayed in bed, opened her eyes and turned over.

Seeing Gu Rao getting up, Bie Ye got up too.

Gu Rao stood beside the bed and said, "It's still early, you can sleep for a while, and when I need your help later, I'll just call you again."

Bie Ye put on his shoes and got up, habitually raised his hand to touch Gu Rao's head.

Her hair was loose and felt nice to the touch.

"I've had enough sleep, and I can't fall asleep even when I lie down. Let's clean up early together."

Gu Rao didn't force it anymore.

She has to work today, and on the dressing table, there is only a white jade hairpin and a pair of white jade earrings that she wore on her head yesterday, and she has no interest in dressing up.

Pull the hair together with the backhand, wrap it a few times around the upper part of the head, then insert the white jade hairpin, simply fix the coiled hair and it's done.

After a simple wash, start a busy day.

Come to the kitchen.

It's still early, before it's time for breakfast, Gu Rao poured some flour into the basin, kneaded it well, and put it on the stove to ferment.

Then the preparations for making zongzi began.

Wash the zong leaves bought yesterday, as well as glutinous rice, meat and other ingredients with cold water, and place them neatly in different utensils for later use.

Let’s start with the fresh brown pork.

Cut the cleaned meat into large pieces, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, five-spice powder, pepper powder, sugar, green onion, ginger and garlic, mix well, cover and set aside to marinate.

Take out the glutinous rice that has been soaked for more than an hour, drain the water, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, and sugar, and marinate for a stick of incense.

Then you can make zongzi.

Take out two zong leaves, fold up a little in the middle, twist the zong leaves, fill the bottom with a spoonful of glutinous rice, then put the meat on it, and finally spread two spoonfuls of glutinous rice on top, wrap the zongzi, tie it with a rope and put it on the In the big basin on the side.

Bie Ye watched Gu Rao's movements over and over, while learning how to do it, the glutinous rice wrapped in the first time scattered, and the second time it was finally wrapped in a decent way.

At the beginning, Gu Rao made five dumplings, and he could only make one or two. After he became proficient, he made zongzi faster than Gu Rao. In less than a stick of incense, the prepared zongzi filled with pork and fresh rice dumplings was ready. up.

Gu Rao asked, "Have you counted it?"

Bie Ye nodded.

"I packed 88."

Gu Rao hammered his sore back, calculated and said, "You made 88 pieces, I made 150 pieces, and the fresh brown pork alone made [-] pieces."

"There were twelve guests who registered yesterday."

"After dawn, we will release the news that anyone who has eaten casserole rice noodles at our house yesterday can continue to register, and after registration, they can also receive a rice dumpling."

"When registering, we took the opportunity to ask those guests who came to register, if they remember anyone who has eaten casserole rice noodles, but has not come here to register."

"Wild Boar Town is big, but we have lived here for a long time, and many people know each other. Maybe they can give us some clues."

Bie Ye said, "Business was good yesterday. There were at least 200 people who came to the store to eat casserole rice noodles, and more than [-] rice dumplings should be given out."

Gu Rao nodded.

"We prepare [-] zongzi with each type of stuffing to give to the guests, keep some for ourselves, and sell the rest."

"Go to the fire first, and steam the fresh brown pork in the pot. I'll make other fillings first. With so many zongzi, it may take several pots to finish steaming."

Bie Ye responded.

"it is good."

The couple were busy when there was a knock on the door.

Betino was about to get up.

Gu Rao quickly said, "It should be that the salted duck eggs I ordered yesterday have arrived. I'll go out and count them first, and you can come out and help me bring them in later."

Bie Ye had no choice but to sit down again.

"it is good."

Gu Rao walked out of the kitchen, came to the gate of the courtyard, and took down the latch. After opening the door, it was indeed the boss who came to deliver the salted duck eggs. After seeing her open the door, he put down the bamboo basket on his shoulder.

"The salted duck eggs you want."

Gu Rao squatted down and counted.

"The number is correct."

Then settle the money.

Salted duck eggs cost three Wen each, but Gu Rao was only willing to buy 150, which cost [-] Wen. She bought a lot at one time, and the boss gave her two generously.

After the boss selling salted duck eggs left.

Gu Rao closed the door, glanced towards the kitchen, but Bie Ye didn't come out, and took out another hundred salted duck eggs from the space.

After Bieye turned on the fire in the stove, he came out, looked at the pile of salted duck eggs on the ground, and was suspiciously silent for a moment.

"Didn't you just buy fifty salted duck eggs yesterday?"

Gu Rao coughed lightly, guilty of not looking into Bie Ye's eyes, squatting on the ground, pretending to pick up the salted duck eggs one by one to count.

"I plan to make more and sell them, so I bought some more. I bought all the salted duck eggs picked by the boss. There are 150 eggs in total."

"Only 150 were given, and the extra two were given by the boss."

Bie Ye asked, "Salted egg yolk meat dumpling, how much do you plan to sell for one?"

Gu Rao said uncertainly, "One salted duck egg costs three pennies, plus meat and glutinous rice, eight pennies is not too much, right?"

Bie Ye, "..."

He has never eaten such an expensive zongzi.

The price of a rice dumpling is equivalent to the price of a small serving of casserole rice noodles. The casserole rice noodles can be full, but is a rice dumpling enough to eat?
Is it really so expensive that anyone is willing to buy it?

From Bie Ye's seemingly calm but actually astonished eyes, Gu Rao could see that he didn't agree with the price he set, but he didn't intend to change his mind, and continued, "Raw materials are inherently expensive, and they cost eight cents apiece. , we may only have a profit of two or three pennies."

"We set the price higher, so that those customers who receive the zongzi from us will feel more satisfied and feel that the things we send are more precious."

"Maybe that little thief is greedy for cheap, and threw himself into the trap just to eat rice dumplings."

Of course, that was just her imagination.

A thief has a guilty conscience and has no time to hide. After stealing so much money and so many valuable things, do you still care about those rice dumplings worth eight cents?
How could it be possible to cast oneself into the trap for a rice dumpling worth eight cents?
Bie Ye asked again, "How do you sell fresh pork dumplings?"

Gu Rao said, "Five cents."

There is only one piece of meat in each pork belly, plus the cost of glutinous rice and seasonings, it should only be two to three Wen, and they can make some money.

"Sweet Zongzi also sells for five Wen each."

Although sugar is also expensive, it is still a little cheaper than meat. Adding up other materials, the cost can be controlled within two pennies, and the profit may be a little more than meat dumplings.

Bie Ye said, "It's up to you to decide."
-
An hour later, all the rice dumplings were wrapped. There were 150 fresh pork rice dumplings, 150 salted egg yolk rice dumplings, [-] brown sugar rice dumplings, and [-] eight-treasure bean rice dumplings.

A total of 710 zongzi.
