Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 83 Braised Eggs

Just arrived at the door, stood for a while, Ye Yuan came back, Liu Man'er greeted him, and told him about Wu Guanshi's coming home, Ye Yuan nodded, followed Liu Man'er into the house.

"Wu Guanshi." Entering the room, Ye Yuan bowed to Wu Guanshi, and Wu Guanshi quickly got up to salute, "Brother Ye is back, I really bother you today."

"It's okay." Putting down his things, Ye Yuan walked to the table to sit with him, and then the steward Wu looked at Ye Yuan carefully. He didn't take a closer look last time, but this time he saw that this farmer's man was tall and stern. , it is unusual.

Liu Man'er entered the kitchen, wiped his face for him naturally, and handed him the handkerchief so that he could wipe his hands. At the same time, she picked up the kettle and poured water for him.

She did everything so naturally, after Guanshi Wu saw it, she couldn't help but said: "People say that poor and lowly couples are always sad, but I think the two are so harmonious and beautiful that people are enviable."

Liu Man'er laughed when she heard this: "Although my family is poor, we work from sunrise to sunset. Although we don't have much money, we have food and clothing, which is pretty good."

"That's, that's it." The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and picked up the water glass to drink water on his own.

Ye Yuan is not a talkative person, so the atmosphere suddenly calmed down, and Liu Man'er asked: "Wu Guanshi is here today to buy peanuts? Can I have more next time? If necessary, I will do it well next time." Already, let my husband send it to you."

"Ah, that couldn't be better." Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Steward Wu said, "I will definitely need it next time. Your peanuts are so delicious, and my masters will definitely not forget them in a while."

"That's fine." Ye Yuan nodded, "Then you take these today, and I'll send you some over in ten days."

"Ten days is so long, I think it will be delivered in five days." Wu Guan then shortened the date a bit.

The two reached an agreement in this way. After hearing this, Liu Man'er couldn't help asking: "Guard Wu, please forgive me. I would like to ask your master's name and what does the family do?"

"You know the Yan family, right?" Manager Wu said in a secretive manner, "Our master is a branch of the Yan family."

"The Yan family?" Liu Man'er was slightly taken aback. She had sold things in this county a few times, and she had heard about the Yan family. Half of the western part of the county was housed by the Yan family. I heard that the Yan family was very powerful. Big, not only in county and prefectural cities, I heard that even the capital has their influence.

"Sure enough, it's a big family." Liu Man'er nodded, and said again: "Please help the shopkeeper to ask, is there anyone in the Yan family who is willing to do our peanut business? If there is, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price."

"This..." Steward Wu frowned slightly, "I can't decide this. I'm only responsible for the purchases in the mansion, and I can't get involved in the business outside."

"Oh, if that's the case, forget it." Liu Man'er stopped here when she heard what Guanshi Wu said. In fact, she knew that Guanshi Wu was asking her for favors, but after thinking about it, she decided to give up. .

I've been really busy recently. The house has not been built yet. Even if a cooperation is reached, it will be troublesome to just dry the peanuts. After all, there are too many people coming and going in and out of the house during this period of time. Can't do anything big.

It's better to build the house at home first, and then seek new development. After more than half a year, Liu Man'er feels that she is still somewhat useful, at least she can do handicrafts, and there are still many ideas in her mind that have not become In reality, she can still make spiced peanuts. After the house is built this year and the scale is expanded, it may not be impossible to make money.

Well, speaking of making money, the chickens at home have been laying eggs on a large scale during this period, and now there are more than 100 eggs piled up. Fang went to the town to sell them once, but he didn't sell many. After all, the egg seller There are too many, and it is probably the same if they are sold in the county town. People around the county town will go to the city to sell eggs.

Manager Wu in front of him is a good candidate to sell eggs, but Liu Man'er told him that there is a special farm in their mansion, and fresh eggs are delivered to the mansion every day, so Liu Man'er didn't say much.

As the days passed, these chickens produced more and more eggs, Fang's face was already a little sad, she planned to sell some in the restaurant where Ye Qing worked, but the shopkeeper Tao also said that their restaurant has special staff Come to sell eggs, the price is ten eight cents, Liu Man'er doesn't want to owe favors to shopkeeper Tao, and she thinks the price is too low.

Now the family is busy building a house, there are a lot of things to do, Fang wants to call Ye Qing back to help, after all, her family pays these day laborers [-] Wen a day, [-] Wen a month, Ye Qing's salary is a month It's only a hundred words.

It's just that Ye Qing refused to come back, Liu Man'er went to that restaurant the last time she sent sachets, she felt that Ye Qing is now hot with that Miss Tao, he probably doesn't want to come back.

Since she didn't want to come back, she didn't force it. If he came back, he was in a bad mood and came to quarrel with her again, it would be troublesome.

Ye Qingnian is old, he has his own opinions, he can say what he says at home now, if Ye Qing comes back, he might be against him every day.

Based on these two points, Liu Man'er persuaded Fang, "Mother, this young man is old, it's good for him to learn more outside. If our family opens a shop in the future, we can just let him be the shopkeeper."

"That's the only way to go, and this kid won't come back." Fang also had nothing to do with Ye Qing, sighed, and said, "I won't let him go after the new year, and help you at home, and then I'll find him a home, the family is so harmonious and beautiful."

"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded, her house will be built when she comes back next year, she will be able to do a lot of things then, it would be a good thing to have Ye Qing come back to help.

"It's just that our eggs are going to be sold to shopkeeper Tao?" Fang thought of this matter again.

"Don't sell it, mother, don't worry, just leave the eggs to me." Liu Man'er was confident.

She suddenly remembered, since she can make spiced peanuts, why can't she make marinated eggs?Many times, many things often just lack an idea. If she thinks of an idea and then does it, she may not be able to do it.

So these days, Liu Man'er went to Aunt Chunhua's house next door to buy peanuts to make spiced peanuts, while thinking about the recipe for making marinated eggs.

In her previous life, she was considered a snack at any rate. Although this marinated egg is not elegant, it tastes really good and is relatively easy to make. It’s just that Liu Man’er is not sure about the ingredients, but she probably knows what spices to put in it:
Salt, ginger, onion, garlic, etc. are needed for cooking, as well as the exclusive and secret soybean oil here. This soybean oil is actually a thicker soy sauce, which tastes similar to soy sauce. Star anise and other five-spice seasonings should be fine.

Of course, it is easier said than done, but after thinking of these formulas, it is necessary to do it yourself.

Liu Man'er first went to the town to buy these ingredients, and when she came back, she set up a small stove and prepared to cook the eggs. Anyway, she was not worried that the eggs would taste bad. It's finished.

Wash the eggs, put them into the pot, add water, and then put the spices in. When the water boils, the aroma will be tangy in a short while.

Guessing that the eggs were cooked, Liu Man'er boiled them a few more times, and the boiling water was bubbling, breaking the eggs open, and then Liu Man'er put out the fire, and continued cooking with the remaining sparks this egg.

She doesn't need to worry about the rest, she just needs to wait for it to taste.

"Hey, Man'er, why is it you? What are you doing in the kitchen? Where is Fulu?" Hearing a sound from the kitchen, Fang came over to check.

"I'll cook some eggs for everyone, Fulu should go to wash clothes." Liu Man'er said with a smile.

"Oh, boiled eggs." When Fang talked about eggs, she said worriedly: "Oh, what should we do with so many eggs in our family now..."

"Don't worry, you'll know when my eggs are cooked." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, but she didn't believe that people here would not come to buy her such a big move of braised eggs. Of course, the premise was that she would do it. success.

"Well, I smell the fragrance." Fang sniffed and looked at the small stove at the mouth of the stove.

"You smell the aroma, right? Wait a minute, and I'll bring you a taste when the egg is cooked." Liu Man'er pushed Fang out of the door.

Fang said, "After your reminder just now, I suddenly remembered that we can sell tea eggs and take them to the gate of the post station in a bullock cart. Someone must buy them."

"Ah, mother, you are really thoughtful." Liu Man'er praised: "But there should be a lot of egg sellers at the post station, and not many merchants pass by there in a day."

"You don't know, the last time I heard that someone was selling eggs on that road, a pair of merchants not only bought all the eggs from that person, but also gave a small silver coin as a reward."

"Mother, we don't have a shop in our family. If we push it there to sell it, we will have to blow it there. Summer is over now, and it will get colder and colder in the future."

In Liu Man'er's eyes, these rewards from others are all unreliable partial wealth. She thinks that she has no partial wealth luck in her life, so she should take one step at a time honestly.

Besides, it's quite far from the post station, and there is no bullock cart. The most important thing is that she doesn't want to go. It would be too unfilial to ask an elder of the Fang family to blow the cold wind. If so, it's better to go to the town to sell it. But there are also many egg sellers in the town.

Of course, Liu Man'er believes that once her marinated eggs come out, who will compete with them? Those tea eggs and salted eggs must be compared in minutes. Ah, thinking of these marinated eggs makes people salivate. I haven't eaten braised eggs for a long time. something.

"Don't worry, mother, I'm responsible for selling eggs. You just need to help me take care of my small workshop." Liu Man'er walked out with Fang's arm in her arms, and said involuntarily:

"You don't have to worry about your face when you do things, but you should discuss the facts. Last time I checked that many sachets were not very good, and I kept them. You have to think about it. This sachet is worth three pennies. I can't bear to say it, but don't make trouble with the money, not to mention, if you didn't check it carefully, I have to check it again, isn't it a waste of time."
