Chapter 14: Three Watches, Five Watches!

In the kitchen of the carpentry factory, Zhang Xingxing, a veteran foodie, shivered happily and lit the firewood.

In this autumn season, it is still a little chilly at night.

There was a gurgle.

If you want to cook tea eggs fragrantly, the process of boiling tea eggs must not be less.

Zhang Xingxing first added a few scoops of water to the iron pot on the stove, first to boil the water, he needs about eighty or ninety degrees of water to soak the tea leaves to remove the jerky taste.

Firewood was lit in the kitchen.

There was a crackle in the earthen stove, and Zhang Xingxing felt a little warm.

Two scoops of water boiled quickly.

Zhang Xingxing scooped the water into a basin, waited for the water to cool for a minute, and when the water dissipated to eighty or ninety degrees, he put the tea leaves into the water and soaked for about ten minutes.

Now he continued to scoop water into the pot and continued to boil the water.

This time there was more water to boil, because there wasn't much water to brew and soak the tea leaves before.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xingxing salvaged the soaked tea leaves from the wooden basin and put them in the boiling water in the pot to boil.

Continue to cook on a low stove.

At this time, Zhang Xingxing was boiling tea leaves, while washing the eggs, because some eggs were left with sundries and feces and the like, although this era was not clean and not clean to eat without disease, but in eating, Zhang Xingxing still cared more about cleanliness, disaster from the mouth, the disease was from the mouth, the later generations had been seriously ill, and they were more concerned about health, what people had to wait for middle age, soaked wolfberries in a thermos cup, he couldn't wait to start drinking wolfberries every day now, and live one more day is a day.

What is he selling tea eggs now, he thinks that is to earn more money to buy wolfberry angelica deer antler for a thousand years of savage......

In the previous life, those children and grandchildren couldn't afford to buy for themselves, it was better to rely on their children and grandchildren, Zhang Laohan felt that he had a deep understanding and saw through the vicissitudes of life, they all went to work on their own one by one, if they could not make trouble for them, they would not make trouble for them, they would be lonely when they were old, and they would know when they were sick, because they didn't have many people around them anymore.

Seeing some rich people, their children are filial piety by their side, and they are envious.

Although they may be for the sake of the inheritance, but they are leaving, and the wealth cannot be taken away, whoever has more of their own heart, they will naturally give more to whom, so they must do their best to be good to themselves when they are old, so he will not be left unaccompanied when he is old.

Zhang Xingxing was in a trance, and immediately speechless to himself, how old he is, he is afraid that he will be lonely when he gets old, so he thinks of things that are so far away, too far, but he feels that it is not far away, after all, people have grown old once, and this aspect is very sensitive.

The aroma of tea wafts out in the boiling water.

Then put in the ingredients, star anise, fennel, and green onion slices separately...... , All the spice ingredients are all added, some people may not make all the spices complete, that is also tea eggs, but the brine is not enough, then the tea eggs are not so fragrant, only all the ingredients are complete, the taste of the brine is more fragrant.

Finally, Zhang Xingxing added the eggs, added water to submerge all the eggs, and then boiled again on high heat.

After more than ten minutes, Zhang Xingxing salvaged the tea eggs and gently smashed the eggshells one by one, as long as they were broken, without separating the eggshells.

Why break the eggshell, this is so that the brine can soak into the tea eggs.

Tea eggs are not good tea eggs, many people don't like to eat boiled eggs, because they are tasteless, sometimes they still have an eggy smell, but tea eggs have a taste, many people like to eat tea eggs, and will choose tea eggs with cracks, because cracks are generally believed to be boiled for a long time, and the taste is soaked into the flavor, in fact, it is deliberately broken, of course, it is also to achieve the flavor.

After these eggs are cracked and put into the pot.

Add water to the pot again and continue to cook for half an hour, Zhang Xingxing extinguished the fire of the earthen stove.

These tea eggs need to be soaked in brine for a few hours after they are cooked to taste better.

Zhang Xingxing returned to the tile room dormitory of the woodware factory, got into the bed, and squinted at it.

When the morning dawns, these tea eggs will be able to absorb the flavor after several hours of soaking in brine.

Dawn.

Zhang Xingxing got up from the bed again.

Go into the kitchen and boil the pot, and continue to add a fire to the earthen stove.

When the hot air in the pot overflowed again

Zhang was happy to smell the fragrance of tea leaves that intoxicated him.

Remove the lid,

Zhang was happy to see these tea eggs that had been completely tasted, and couldn't help but want to eat one first.

Pick up an egg that has been dyed dark brown and gently peel off half of the shell.

Zhang Xingxing eats tea eggs and likes to peel half and keep half.

However, many people like to peel it all open, thinking that it is more refreshing to eat.

Vary.

Sniffed lightly.

The aroma of the peeled half of the tea egg immediately enters the nose.

There is no eggy smell, it is completely fragrant.

Take a bite of egg white.

"Whoa!"

It tastes better than you can imagine!

Zhang Xingxing looked excited.

The rich aroma of tea is mixed with the fragrance of pure eggs of this era, and the aroma remains in the mouth after swallowing.

The yolk inside was also exposed after taking a bite of the egg white.

It was a very warm yellow.

"This yolk thief is good!"

The egg yolk of this era is really called a yellow, especially gorgeous, the rare and not so pure eggs of later generations do not have this yellow at all, this era is all pure and incomparably native eggs, all of them eat insects and vegetable leaves, but there is no feed of later generations mixed with any auxin.

Looking at it makes him, a veteran foodie, very appetizing.

Eat another bite of the egg yolk.

"This first boiled tea egg is perfect and will definitely sell well. ”

Zhang Xingxing thought to himself.

In this era, even in the 80s and 90s, tea eggs are good things, and they are the best nutrition in the countryside.

Usually the family is reluctant to eat, but on that day as a birthday, parents or grandparents will generously take out tea eggs.

Tea eggs are the most precious and cherished thing in their memories.

For example, in later generations, Liu Jingdong returned to his hometown and gave six or seven hundred old people in cash to his hometown, directly 10,000 yuan per person in red envelopes, and the big man returned to his hometown to give red envelopes not to prove how rich he was, but because he was grateful for the 76 tea eggs that year.

When he was eighteen years old in the nineties, he carried 76 tea eggs and the villagers made up a few hundred yuan of hard-earned money to him for tuition, he walked into the campus, and used the 76 tea eggs to go to the world, when he ate the best nutrition in the tea egg village, he sincerely thanked the kindness of the 76 tea eggs many years later, and returned to his hometown, not only to those old people who sent tens of thousands of yuan that their sons may not have given, but also pulled many enterprises to invest in their hometown.

The stories about tea eggs in this era are endless.

The story of his happiness, looking back in this life, will also start from tea eggs, selling tea eggs and doing business in the interstitial era.

"Selling tea eggs, delicious and fragrant tea eggs. ”
