Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 69
.

The rice in the village was in full swing for six days before the curtain was drawn slowly.

In the villagers' yards, the drying yards are covered with golden millet, and from time to time someone goes to look it over.

In the past few days, children in the field gathered scattered grains in groups, and no one would drive them away.

In large and small fields, you can pick up a few full pockets in a day, peel off the shells, and eat several meals.

In Liu Qingcao's field, the glutinous rice has begun to turn yellow slowly. After the threshing machine was reduced in size, Liu Dazhuang made it. Finally, Liu Qingcao spent nearly 80 taels of silver to bring it home.

"Sister Chen, come and have a look, the preserved egg I made is ready."

Liu Qingcao moved out the preserved egg from Luo Shiyuan's room.

These preserved eggs have been placed for half a month, the pickled mud on the surface has dried out, and the egg liquid inside has undergone qualitative changes.

"Girl, can these mud eggs be eaten?" Chen Cuizhi looked at these mud-coated eggs, feeling distressed.

I still remember that more than half a month ago, Liu Qingcao bought [-] eggs and came back. Together with Liu Qingcao, she drove a bullock cart from village to village, and collected them from every household.

At that time, she thought that they were bought to nourish the old man Niu's body, and after a few words of persuasion, she was afraid that these eggs would spoil after a long time.

Unexpectedly, when the eggs came back, Liu Qingcao asked her to fetch water and salt to wash the eggs. While she was washing the eggs, Liu Qingcao found a lot of camphor trees, grain grass, and set them on fire.

After the work was over, Liu Qingcao put the plant ashes into the big basin again, put some white powder she didn't know, added water and stirred evenly, then asked her to throw the washed eggs into the muddy mud, wrap them After one layer, put it in a room covered with straw.

At that time, her eyes were twitching, and her heart ached, but the girl told her that she was making a different kind of food, and these eggs could be preserved for a long time without spoiling after she handled them this way.

She hadn't seen it before, and thought it was their unique homemade food, so she was dubious and didn't ask much.

"Of course, you go and get a bowl, let's get some to eat today."

"I'll go right away." Chen Cuizhi got up and went to the kitchen, took a bowl, walked over, and squatted down to watch Liu Qingcao fiddle with these mud eggs.

"Sister Chen, knock the mud on it like I did, until the mud falls off almost, like this, just crack the eggshell and peel it off."

Liu Qingcao took an egg and demonstrated it to her.

"Girl, why has this egg changed? It's as golden as boiled, ah, there are snowflakes on it!" Chen Cuizhi exclaimed, she watched the egg as it was made, why did it leave halfway? How about a change in a month?
Liu Qingcao laughed and joked:
"I became, how is it, is it amazing?"

"Girl, can you turn into gold?" Chen Cuizhi was stunned for a while, then approached Liu Qingcao and asked her quietly.

Liu Qingcao was amused by her, knowing that she couldn't make such a joke with her, so she explained it.

"Sister Chen, I'm not a fairy, how can I turn into gold, well, I'm just kidding with you, this is a preserved egg, with my method, I can turn a duck egg into this, and bird eggs are also acceptable. "

"Let me tell you, if a girl can turn gold into gold, I'd like to persuade you not to work so hard, just turn two of them."

"I want to too, but I don't have the ability."

"Although girls can't turn into gold, girls are smart and can earn silver."

Chen Cuizhi praised Liu Qingcao unceremoniously, Liu Qingcao smiled, peeled the preserved egg in his hand, and chatted with her while peeling it.

"Girl, is that enough?" Chen Cuizhi saw that the bowl was full, and stopped holding the egg.

Liu Qingcao saw that there were ten of them in the bowl, and stopped her hands.

"Enough, you have a try."

Liu Qingcao picked up one, put it in her mouth and ate it, and Chen Cuizhi also picked up one, took a bite, and it was chewy, and it had a scent, like the scent of camphor trees.

"Girl, it's delicious to eat like this, and it feels a little cold."

Chen Cuizhi's eyes lit up after eating, this egg tastes even better if you cook it.

"Well, I also think that you should take one for Brother Pan and Ping An."

Liu Qingcao paused and added:

"By the way, old man Niu also took one for him to taste."

"Okay, I'll take it to Uncle Niu first, let him try it first."

Chen Cuizhi picked one up from the bowl, went to the old man's room, and came out after a while.

"Girl, your Uncle Niu said it was delicious, and I want to eat another one."

"... When he is still greedy? All right, you can get him another one."

Thinking that the old man Niu couldn't eat cold preserved eggs, it wouldn't be a big deal for his body to eat one more, so Liu Qingcao followed him.

For lunch, Liu Qingcao made cold preserved eggs, porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat, and fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Chen Cuizhi and the others were pleasantly surprised by the meal, and Liu Qingcao was also satisfied.

After the meal, Liu Qingcao looked at the densely packed mud eggs in the room, and started the arrangements for the afternoon.

These [-] eggs had to be peeled off the mud and saved for next use. This quicklime is not cheap, so throwing it away after just one use is really wasteful.

"Girl, do you have to peel off the mud?"

"Well, peel them all off. I'll take some of them to the restaurant to sell tomorrow. These will be sold out in a short time, so let's get them off quickly and make the next batch."

"Alright then, I'll call Ping An and the others over to make it together."

Chen Cuizhi walked into the room, drove out the two people who were making baskets and writing, and asked them to help peel the mud from the eggs.

With more people, the speed increased. It took less than two hours, and all the mud was peeled off.

The pots filled with mud were placed in the grass shed by willows and grass, and they were covered with ragged clothes to prevent them from being blown everywhere by the wind.

"Girl, are you going to collect eggs tomorrow?"

Chen Cuizhi sat in the kitchen, watching Liu Qingcao cooking dinner, her hands kept on sewing.

"Yes, I'll go and have a look tomorrow. It's been so long, and I should have saved a lot. I'll go to town tomorrow and see if there are any. I'll take them back, so I won't have to travel so far. "

"Then I'll go with Dayong tomorrow. He said he's getting better, and I see he's getting better too. Collecting eggs is not tiring, and he doesn't have to get out of the ox cart, just help drive the ox cart."

Chen Cuizhi stared at Liu Qingcao and asked, hoping that Liu Qingcao would agree.

"That's fine, then you go collect the eggs tomorrow, and let Big Brother Pan go to see the outside, as being bored at home every day is not good for your body's recovery."

Pan Yong is much better now, she thinks she should let him go out more, to get acquainted, and to do things more smoothly in the future.

"Do you remember the last time I taught you how to choose eggs?"

"Remember, girl, I will take a serious look at that time, and I won't choose a villain." Chen Cuizhi repeatedly nodded her promise.

"Let's eat, eat and rest early, so that we will have the energy to do things tomorrow."

Liu Qingcao scooped up the last dish and asked her to take it out.

I had dinner early today, and as soon as the work was done, Liu Qingcao lay on the bed, stared blankly for a while, and then entered the space to start farming.
