The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 42
"This, I can do it too." After watching for a while, Min Lansheng felt that the job of washing eggs was very simple, and he was quite competent.

"Don't snatch it, be careful, you have one of Siwen!" Slapping away his beautiful jade hand, Su Xiazhi smiled at him with her head tilted: "Go! Go to study! Didn't it be agreed a long time ago: You are in charge of appearance Meiruhua, am I responsible for earning money to support the family?"

Min Lansheng glanced at her, her pretty face blushing: "Don't keep saying things like this. I'm your man, so I'm the one to support you!"

"Haha!" Su Xiazhi held an egg in her hand and looked up at his waist: "Stand up quickly and take a few steps for my sister to see."

When he squatted down, he didn't pay attention, Min Lansheng squatted down naturally, but after being reminded by her, he tried to lift his waist a few times, but he was so sore that he didn't dare to use force, he really couldn't get up.

Carefully put the eggs back into the basin, rubbed her wet hands on her back a few times, Su Xiazhi got up and put one hand under his armpit, and the other on his waist, helping the delicate beauty from the ground like her ancestors : "Baby, please slow down. I'm old and my body is heavy. I feel sorry for hurting you or my son..."

Min Lansheng, who had just stood up, was supported by her and walked a few steps before she understood the meaning of her words. Then she pushed her away, and her face flushed again: "Who will give birth to your son!"

"It's fine as a girl, as long as she's as beautiful as you!" Miss Su ran away with a cheap smile on her face, leaving the dumbfounded scholar standing at the door of the main room, speechless and speechless.

"Go and study in the house." Su Xiazhi said without raising her head while continuing to work: "You are a scholar, and you don't need to interfere with the housework. Don't you want to take the autumn exam? From now on, you will be at home and will not hear you." Just read the books of sages with all your heart.”

Min Lansheng, who had already stepped into the door with one foot, stood there, turned her head to look at the petite woman in the yard: "I don't hear anything outside the window and only read the books of sages... These words are very meaningful..."

"What a deep meaning!" Miss Su said casually as she continued to work, "This is a panacea. If you don't want to be an official, just study and learn. That's all you need to do."

"If you study to gain fame and rank in the court class, then the sound of the wind and rain is still in your ears; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, care about everything..."

The foot that stepped into the room was retracted again, and Min Lansheng walked up to the lady with her small waist in her hands, bent over with difficulty and wanted to squat down.

"Want to know why I know this?" Miss Su raised her hand to stop his movements, saving herself a while to help him up again.

Min Lansheng nodded.These words are naturally not something that ordinary women can say casually.

"This is my secret!" Miss Su looked left and right. There were only his husband and wife in the yard, and she also sneaked like a thief: "Don't you also know that I fell into a cesspit?"

Min Lansheng nodded again.

"My mother said that I have become smarter since I fell into the cesspit and ate something. If you don't believe me, you should try it!" Su Xiazhi lowered her voice and whispered: "Don't tell outsiders, or my natal toilet will be destroyed. will be robbed..."

"Haha..." Looking at the figure who was driven away by her anger, Miss Su burst out laughing again!

More than 100 eggs cost five hundred Wen, which is almost half of the granary meal fee.So Su Xiazhi washed with extra care.

After washing, she wiped off the water one by one, poured the soju into half a bowl, rolled the eggs in the soju first, then dipped the salt in the submerged water, and laid them one by one in a jar without adding any water. , After putting all the eggs in, she moved the jar into the kitchen, put it in the corner, and clapped her hands: "Let's work together!"

In the past, the method of pickling eggs was very simple, that is, boiled concentrated salt water and soaked the eggs in it. After [-] to [-] days, the egg yolks were marinated with oil, and the eggs were salty and bitter, and the taste was not good.

Ms. Su’s method of marinating eggs is a modern recipe. The key is to soak the outside of the eggs in white wine, which speeds up the time for the eggs to produce oil, shortens the process of pickling, and naturally it will not be so salty.

Spring is when hens are prolific and eggs are relatively cheap.And at this time, it was the season when all kinds of vegetables hadn't grown yet, so Su Xiazhi, who didn't have much money, thought of this on a whim.

The busy time passed quickly, and it was time for lunch in a blink of an eye.

Su Xiazhi steamed a large bowl of brown rice and divided it into two bowls. She also fried a plate of cabbage with a few slices of bacon in it, and a pot of hot and sour soup with shredded radish.

One meal, one dish, and one soup were placed on the Eight Immortals table, and the two sat opposite each other, looking at each other through the heat from the food.

"Eat!" Su Xiazhi first picked up the rice bowl and took a mouthful of rice, then picked out a piece of bacon and put it in the scholar's bowl: "You can just watch if I can fill my stomach..."

Min Lansheng supported the table and stood up slowly, then dragged the stool behind her and sat next to Su Xiazhi, brought over her bowl and chopsticks placed opposite, and sighed with downcast eyes: "That's great..."

"Huh?" Miss Su tilted her head and looked at the handsome man next to her, who was almost stuck to her body, and gave a 'puchi' smile: "That's all right? You'll be able to support yourself."

"Now we have too little money, and we can only put a few slices of meat in the dishes for a meal. When we have money in the future, I will make better ones for you to eat. I will make a lot of delicious food! "

Min Lansheng put the bacon in his mouth and chewed it carefully. A piece of bacon was fried in a little oil and a little soy sauce to taste.Immediately, he also picked up a piece and put it in Miss Su's bowl: "I mean, it's nice to have someone to eat with."

Su Xiazhi turned her head to look at him again, and felt that the beautiful woman next to her with lowered eyebrows was indescribably beautiful, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "It's really nice...Look!" After finishing speaking, she touched him with her elbow: "You eat by yourself. You are a man, and your body is too slender now, and I will always feed you for nothing."

"Will anyone buy pickled eggs? This thing is extremely common. You have made so many, you are not afraid that you will not be able to buy it?" More than half of the granary meal expenses were used to buy eggs, plus a little salt and a jar Burning wine, it costs a lot, and eating and drinking for two people is no better than trying to make ends meet, Min Lansheng is still a little worried.

"This..." This question can be easily explained by modern marketing concepts, but Su Xiazhi, who is already an ancient person, still pondered it in her mind before opening her mouth cautiously: "Look, so many people will Pickled eggs, but why are there so many people buying them?"
