Chapter 166 Zhuang Yue Visits
Du Jinning saw that the tea eggs were still soaked in the still warm pot, and the stewed eggs had been scooped up by the sisters. The yellowish brown stewed eggs were just right in color.

She took a knife and cut the marinated egg into four halves, and said to them: "Everyone, try it."

Everyone took a piece of egg and put it into their mouths. The salty taste of the brine mixed with the aroma of the egg itself, filling the mouth. The sisters felt that they had never eaten such a delicious thing——eggs are so delicious to them. Said that it is a kind of delicacy that is difficult to eat.The eggs after marinating are not to mention delicious.

"Delicious, so delicious."

"Brother Ning, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using brine to marinate the eggs?" Du Fangling asked curiously, poking his mouth, savoring the taste of the marinated eggs.

"Use your brain, think about it, and you'll figure it out." Du Jinning made a nonsense casually, urged everyone to finish eating the marinated eggs, and then took out the tea eggs from the pot.

"Why is the egg boiled with the shell on? Wouldn't it taste bad?" Du Fangling asked again.

"It's cleaner and less likely to get dirty." Du Jinning said, "If you soak it more, the smell will go in."

She peeled the shell and cut it into several portions for everyone to taste.

Because it has been boiled for a long time and soaked for more than half an hour, the taste of brine and tea leaves has penetrated into the eggs, and the salty flavor is not much worse than that of marinated eggs.Moreover, this tea egg has a faint fragrance of tea leaves, which is another taste compared to braised eggs.

Even Du Fanghui exclaimed lively: "Why does it taste different when only tea leaves are added? This taste is more refreshing. I like this kind of egg."

"This is called tea eggs, and that is called marinated eggs." Du Jinning named the two kinds of eggs, and then asked everyone, "How do you think these eggs will sell if they are sold in teahouses?"

"Needless to say, it's sure to sell well." Du Fangling nodded with absolute certainty.

Everyone agreed with her opinion.

Boiled eggs are sold on the street, and there are still people who buy them.Not to mention such delicious braised eggs and tea eggs.

When Du Jinning asked that question, he didn't ask for a certificate, but just to increase their confidence.

You know, for a period of time in later generations, those who made atomic bombs were not as good as those who sold tea eggs, which shows how powerful tea eggs are.

"Mother, you go to the market early in the morning, buy some chicken feet and duck feet, and then marinate them like this, add some ginger and spring onions to get rid of the fishy smell. If the taste is good, we can also sell marinated chicken feet Duck paw."

When Chen heard this, he hesitated and said: "Can someone eat that thing? Apart from the skin, there are bones. Besides, no one sells this thing specially, they are all live whole chickens and ducks."

"That's true." Du Jinning also thought of this.

Now there are no factories that process chickens and ducks, and there are not even small shops that help butcher chickens and ducks. Everyone buys live chickens and ducks and processes them at home.If you want chicken feet and duck feet, you have to buy a whole chicken and duck to kill.

"In this way, you can go to the restaurant to ask and buy from them. The restaurant kills many chickens and ducks every day, and no one likes to eat the claws. Cutting them off and selling them to us will not affect their business." Du Jinning said.

As she spoke, she answered Chen's first question: "Don't worry, that stuff must taste good when marinated. Even if it doesn't have meat, it still tastes good. After all, this stuff is worthless, so it's fine as a snack."

"Okay, I'll go ask."

If Du Jinning hadn't marinated the eggs, Mrs. Chen might have doubted the taste of the marinated chicken feet.But ordinary eggs, everyone has eaten them all their lives, and they never thought of eating them in such a way.Now that it is so marinated, the taste will be different all of a sudden, and it will be more delicious.Then Du Jinning said that if the chicken feet can be marinated and eaten, it must be delicious, there is no doubt about it.

Since it is delicious, it can make money.Things that can make money, even if they are troublesome, have to be done.

"You can ask about the chicken feet tomorrow morning. Now, mother, you can ask Aunt Dong to collect some eggs. Let's marinate them now, soak them overnight, and sell them in teahouses tomorrow morning. The taste will be even better."

"Then how do you sell the eggs?" Du Fangling interrupted and asked.

"Mom, how much is an egg?" Du Jinning didn't know the exact price.

"A penny a penny."

It can be seen that eggs are also precious things. Many farmers are reluctant to eat them, and they keep them and sell them for some oil and salt.

"We sell it for two renminbi each. The teahouse sells it for three renminbi, so those tea drinkers are willing to eat." Du Jinning said.Their dried tofu is also sold at wholesale prices to teahouses.

Du Fangling was also very satisfied when he heard it: "It's just a stew, just spend some firewood and brine. Selling fifty eggs a day can earn fifty Wen, which is quite a deal."

Although their dried tofu makes a lot of money, it takes a lot of work to make the tofu and marinate it.Relatively speaking, marinating eggs is a smooth job, and she is very satisfied with making so much money.

Among so many snacks, Du Jinning only made marinated eggs and marinated chicken feet, and it was also because of the marinated dried tofu at home, and they were made completely on top of each other without any trouble.Making other snacks would take a lot of work, and the family didn't have so much labor.Although people can be hired, even the tofu can be outsourced, the Du family only needs marinade.But Mrs. Chen disagreed, for fear that people would learn it.

Du Jinning could only think of some cheap ways to make as much money as possible without increasing the labor intensity.

After arranging the family affairs, Du Jinning wrote the script with peace of mind.

But this day was destined to be uneasy, and when it was time to have dinner, someone from the Du family came again, and it was Zhuang Yue who came.

Du Jinning suddenly became nervous and asked, "What's the matter? What happened to the teahouse?" If nothing happened, Zhuang Yue was tired all day, so he wouldn't come to him.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing." Seeing that her expression had changed, Zhuang Yue quickly explained, "It's a sofa. The sofas we made are all sold out. Someone asked me to ask if you can sell the shape of the sofa to them."

"Sold out? That's good." Hearing this, Du Jinning was not very surprised. This situation was within her expectation.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yue admired Du Jinning more and more in his heart.When he took over the teahouse at the beginning, he saw that in addition to the ones placed in the teahouse, there were [-] other sofas made by others, and he thought Du Jinning was a bit whimsical.Although the style of the sofa is relatively novel and comfortable to sit on, the tea drinkers saw it, and if they didn’t go back and ask someone to make it, how could they buy a ready-made one?

Who knew that the guests in the VIP seats kept asking about this sofa in the past two days, and he just said that they sell it here, and the guests immediately said that they bought it, and they bought more than one.When someone buys, others follow suit.Twenty sofas were sold out in just two days.

And now, there are still people who want to buy the style of the sofa!
