Spring is coming

When Mo He came back this time, Mo Jingchun received a basket of duck eggs she brought from home.

Since returning home last time and renovating the dilapidated chicken shed left in the second room, Mrs. Gao went to buy [-] laying ducks specifically for laying eggs instead of killing them for meat.

After saving for more than half a month, Mo He brought dozens of them at once.

In addition, the bamboo basket in his hand was full of eggs.

This was the fulfillment of what she casually said last time about raising more chickens and ducks.

The advantage of course is that there are endless eggs.

She looked at the round green-shell duck eggs and thought they could be made into salted clams.

Xianjiazi is a pickled egg. The pickled duck egg is salty and fragrant with a unique flavor.

The pickling method is very important. If not done properly, the pickled egg shell will be dark, variegated and brittle, and the egg white will taste too soft, greasy, and salty, making it difficult to eat.

A good pickled egg will make the protein tender and have a moderate salty taste.

The egg yolk is not that heavy, with only a slight salty taste, and the texture is soft and delicate.

When you pick it up with chopsticks, red oil comes out of it.

Eat a simple meal with porridge, scoop out a pickled egg with chopsticks, and eat the steaming white porridge or mung bean porridge. The taste is trembling with salty protein.

The rice porridge is creamy and has the gritty texture of pickled egg yolk.

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait any longer.I marinated ham a few days ago, and today I want to marinate duck eggs.

She went to the suburbs to dig a large pot of red soil and returned it. She put it into a clean jar, added salt and well water, and stirred it until it became even and thick.

Gently put the duck eggs into the jar, cover them with red soil, seal them and wait for half a month, it’s done!
The day when the altar was opened happened to be the spring equinox, and Mo Jingchun bought a large handful of toon from a vegetable farmer.

She made a plate of tofu mixed with toon, a plate of fried duck eggs with toon, thick porridge, and two salted duck eggs cut in half.

It was not yet noon, and it was time for her and Mo He to have dinner.

At this time, there were not many diners in the store, and those who came so early were the only ones coming and going. They were all familiar with each other, and they didn't mind the shopkeeper eating with them.

The purple-red toona buds turn green after being slightly blanched in boiling water. People often eat them during the Spring Equinox, either mixed with tofu, scrambled eggs, or pancakes.

This dish is not sold outside because those who love it find it fragrant and those who don't like it find it unbearably bitter.

But some people with thick skin will always ask the shopkeeper if he can have a portion of this dish when he sees that he enjoys it.

After learning that there was no such thing, I was greedy for salted duck eggs again.

Mo Jingchun simply took out a dozen salted duck eggs from the whole jar in the yard, washed them, put them into a small basket, and placed them under the wall where the food list was written, and wrote: five cents each.

If someone buys it, she takes it to the pot and cooks it.

Raw eggs cost only a penny.

Some people were tempted and then held back, but there were still more people who couldn't hold back.

They all went out to eat, and these few pennies were still affordable. The key was to see that Shopkeeper Mo’s food was indeed delicious.

The lunchtime business hours are over, and the salted duck eggs in the small basket are basically sold out.

And because there were too many people asking about toon at noon, in the evening, she bought toon from the vegetable farmer and added this dish to the dish.

Yin Zhengren expressed his satisfaction.

He also said: "Today I went to watch a cooking competition, and many old gourmets were there. The skills of those cooks were really bad. When I told the onlookers about your place, I didn't expect that the famous gourmet... Mr. Ma also echoed my words.”

He also specifically criticized the restaurant that held the event for not having the ability to do this stunt. The shopkeeper of the restaurant blushed and the cook remained silent.

Mo Jingchun asked curiously: "Which family is it?"

"Dong Laishun." Yin Zhengren shook his head and sighed, "Ten years ago, Dong Laishun was still the largest restaurant in Baishan Town. Since his wife's natal brother was replaced as the cook and the previous chef was driven away, even the signature dishes If you can’t do it well, your business will get worse and worse!”

"This time we held this competition, and we said that we hired the other party's chef from a big restaurant in Wuling with a lot of money. I think it's nothing more than that!" He wanted to save the restaurant, but he was so sick that he sought medical treatment.

Dong Laishun's reputation was really great when she was a child, but as she grew up, she gradually became lonely. She didn't expect that this was the reason.

Mo Jingchun clicked his tongue and said: "If the chef hadn't been replaced back then, the business would have remained the same today? I don't know if the shopkeeper Dong Laishun will regret it later."

"I regret it so much. It's my brother-in-law who can't blame me. If I blame him, my wife will scold me."

"It can be seen that it is better to do business without involving family ties."

Cut constantly, the rationale is still chaotic.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Mo's words deeply touched my heart."

Yin Zhengren patted his thigh,
"If you cherish your friendship with someone, it's best not to get involved with them in any financial transactions or business, otherwise the friendship will be gone in vain~"

It seemed that he was also deeply injured.

Well, Ma Benyong had a meal with her last time, but even though he never came again, he still spoke for her?

"Mr. Ma was invited to be a judge. Don't underestimate what he said for you. His words are very weighty. I'm afraid that tomorrow, the threshold of your store will be broken by the old gourmet group."

"I'm here to inform Shopkeeper Mo in advance and teach you how to prepare in advance."

I originally agreed to stay at home with my wife tonight.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yin."

She flattered insincerely.

Despite Yin Zhengren's tip, when she prepared the ingredients the next day, she still prepared them in the same amount as before.

The variety is still ten dishes and two soups.

She knew well that if she prepared too much by herself, she would be nervous and distracted, which would compromise the taste and make it thankless.

It's better to just act as usual and act normally.

The wind blows and the willow flowers fill the shop with fragrance.

Today's menu includes pork elbows with sauce, rabbit meat with fresh pepper, roast goose, flavored eggplant...shrimp and yellow bean sprouts.

Yin Zhengren, eager to watch the fun, and under the anger of Mrs. Yin, walked into Xiangqinghuan with his wife.

"Hey! Shopkeeper Mo, the store has a new look today?"

When spring arrived, she got up in the morning to pick fresh flowers and plants, and put them into pottery vases for decoration.

She said calmly: "I heard Mr. Yin said yesterday that we must make some preparations to leave a good impression on the diners."

"Is this Mrs. Yin?"

Her eyes lit up because Mrs. Yin was really beautiful.

Coupled with Yin Zhengren, who has a good face but is slightly fatter, he actually feels a little blind.

Mrs. Yin's face was full of youth and she was a little shy: "Shopkeeper Mo...she is really young."

Why do you say this?
Mo Jingchun was puzzled.

"Hahahaha..." Yin Zhengren couldn't help laughing loudly, "My wife and I told him that there was a young and beautiful female shopkeeper and cook who cooked delicious food. She was worried and insisted on coming over to take a look, hahahahaha !”

"Madam, how is it? Is what I said true?"

Mrs. Yin secretly glared at him: She is such a stupid husband, he just loves to make fun of her and embarrass her!
Only then did Mo Jingchun realize why Mrs. Yin's eyes were so stunned when she saw her at first.

She was also tricked and teased by him.

Mo Jingchun smiled slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Yin is not kind."
