Chapter 123: Preserved Eggs

A few children played with chili noodles as a game, and I had a lot of fun with you. A group of cute babies in front of the booth were giggling, which attracted the attention of others.

Even adults come over to buy a few fried fish balls, or give them to their children, or satisfy their own cravings.

"Eh...... Once you've bitten into this, you can't dip it on the plate anymore. Seeing a boy, he took a bite of the fish balls in his hand, and stretched out the gap to the chili saucer to dip the chili noodles inside, but Xi hurried forward to stop him.

Afraid that the child's soul was too fragile and he scared him, Xi squatted down, stared at his eyes seriously, and lowered his voice softly: "The chili noodles on this plate are used by everyone, and there is your saliva on the fish balls you bite, and then you dip it on the plate, how can others eat it, right?"

"It's like yourself, too, if other children's saliva stays on it, will you still eat it?"

The boy shook his head in a daze, and said cutely: "No, it's too dirty...... Well, then I won't touch it. ”

'Okay', the milky voice is crispy, "Awesome! obedient! What a good boy." Xi smiled like a strange aunt, rubbed his soft hair, and praised.

"In order to praise you, my sister decided to reward you with a fish ball, okay?"

"Okay~" smiled and narrowed his eyes, revealing his standard eight teeth and two shallow dimples.

"It's so good~" It's cute, and her hair is soft, so I can't put it down. Xi rubbed it twice, and then got up and asked Granny Chen to fry another fish ball.

"You are the same, these two plates of chili noodles are owned by everyone, not unique to that one person, so we have to take care of them, and we can't get dirty, otherwise how will others eat them, right?" Xi turned and said to the group of radish heads in front of him.

"Yes. A group of turnip heads said softly in unison.

Xiluo's gaze on them became softer and more loving, "Really obedient, next, if anyone comes to buy fish balls again, will it cost five cents and three, okay?" This is a reward for a good child." ”

"Oooh oh"

"Good yo ......"

A few children happily jumped on the spot holding bamboo sticks.

Fried items, chili peppers, sure enough, are children's favorites, and the fish balls of the Xi family were quickly sold out, leaving only a few to eat at noon.

Pack up your things, leave Old Man Chen to watch things, and a few other people go around to see the dancing and playing lights.

Xi remembers that when she came (to her, in her previous life, that was when she really came), the temple fair was the most attractive thing for her was the lunch at noon.

Baiya Temple, according to Wenqu Xing, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the others don't know, because she has never been to the back, I don't know if she is afraid or really doesn't care.

Only during the temple fair, pilgrims donate a small amount of sesame oil money, which is not enough for the maintenance of these statues.

There are no monks in the temple, but the old people in the village who believe in Buddhism voluntarily go to the temple to become believers. I still eat whole grains, I still live at home, and I only occasionally go to the temple to chant sutras, worship the Buddha, and have a meeting. Like every temple fair, they organize it themselves.

This amount of sesame oil money cannot be maintained for the temple at all. This money is only used to maintain the temple, and they have no salary, but they have a sustenance to stay in the temple when they are old.

Like Granny Chen, after the death of Old Man Chen, Xi studied in Beijing, Chen's father and Chen's mother worked outside, Xi's father was not at home, and she was left alone at home, very lonely.

She had read books, read some words, and then joined those believers, and went to the temple every few days to read the Bible or something, but her body was always very strong.

In this case, they had to find a way to make some money to keep the temple running.

They have many years of experience and know how crowded the temple fair is on a given day. During the Chinese New Year like this, basically every family has to come.

He bought several pigs from the farmer's house in advance, slaughtered them, and set up dozens of tables of banquets to sell to those tourists or pilgrims.

Ten people are seated at a table, and seats are available by ticket.

A ticket sells for fifteen yuan, and even a child is considered a seat.

For the time of Xilai, fifteen yuan is a lot of money, how many spicy strips can be bought, this meal must be delicious.

She has always felt that those who sit at the big table eat very well and laugh very happily, and she has always been envious. So she has always looked forward to the day when she can sit at that big table and have a meal of noodles.

But Granny Chen (Old Man Chen basically doesn't rush to the temple fair) She didn't know whether it was to save money or what, so she always took the Xi sisters and brothers away before lunch.

Either go to a relative's house for dinner, or go home and go by yourself.

Until one time, Granny Chen actually bought three meal tickets for the first time and took Xi and Chen Yubin to eat noodles.

That day, yes, sitting at the big table, Xi was very excited in his heart, looking forward to the meal that was about to be served.

But let Creek down. Although the noodles were also delicious, they were not as delicious as she imagined, and she felt that it was a waste of money. Since then, when I go to the temple fair, Xi no longer looks forward to eating noodles.

Seeing that the dam in front of the temple was setting up a table, many people sat down at the table one after another, and several people returned to the stalls one after another.

"Hmmm~ It's so fragrant. ”

Old man Chen saw that the banquet was about to start, and it was estimated that a few people were coming back, so he boiled the pot and boiled the remaining fish balls.

"I'm back, I'm ready to eat. He scooped up the plate, handed it to the table, scooped up the water, and washed the pot.

"Sister, it's Juan. Chen Yubin tugged at Xixi's sleeve and said.

Xi looked up, "Juan, Zhao Bo, come here." ”

"Juan, let's have a bite to eat. Seeing them coming, Granny Chen warmly invited.

Zhao Juan and Zhao Bo were not polite, they often ate at Xi's house, and they were very familiar with each other. He took the chopsticks handed by the stream and stood at the table and waited.

As soon as Old Man Chen was on the table, Xi handed Old Man Chen and Granny Chen a box of lunches each, handed Zhao Bo a box to the brothers and sisters, and she and Chen Yubin shared a box.

This lunch box is the lunch box that Xi used to go to school, and it has a large capacity.

In the morning, Mr. Chen steamed a pot of rice in a rice cooker, and Xi packed four lunch boxes, which were pressed solidly, which must be enough for them to eat.

"Xi, did you bring this from home?" Zhao Juan pointed to the rice in the lunch box in front of her.

"Hmm. Brook nodded.

"It's still hot. As if he was not sure, he put his hand on the edge of the lunch box again, shook his hand when he was hot, and shouted "it hurts".

"Oops, you idiot. Brook put down her chopsticks, pulled her aside, and put her hot hand into the basin of cold water. "You eat first. Looking up and saying a few words to the few people at the table, Xi continued to press Zhao Juan's hand.

"Does it still hurt?" asked Brook after a while, seeing that it was not so red.

Zhao Juan took out her hand, shook it, and pinched it, "It doesn't seem to hurt anymore." ”

"Fool...... Let's go, eat. ”

"This rice was steamed in the pot by my grandfather just now, and it is very hot, so you can just touch it. At this point, Brook glared at her angrily.

Zhao Juan laughed awkwardly for a while, and then picked up the chopsticks to eat.

A plate of braised meatballs, four boxes of rice, six people stood around the humble table, eating very happily.

After eating, I put everything in the back basket and played for a while before a few people went home.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for school to start.

During this period, Xi followed Mr. Chen to Longyan to buy thirty chickens, twenty ducks, ten geese, and five piglets, and put them in the space.

I went to the head of the sixth team of a family house and brought back a sow, which was greeted in advance, so that I would keep a pig and sow, and his family was ready to raise a sow to give birth.

New semester, new atmosphere.

After a winter vacation, everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, and it's very lively, but it washes away the faint sorrow of leaving home.

told each other about the interesting stories of the New Year, and how much New Year's money they received.

There are also some naughty children, the firecrackers lit during the New Year, those who are not burned, pick up two trouser pockets, and put them in the teaching building, the inner courtyard, the playground, the toilet, and the stairwell.

However, she was soon stopped by the teacher, not only confiscated the loose guns, but also criticized the education, and the girl was very relieved.

The days went on as usual, but there was one more Zhao Bo on the way home, and the transportation mode of several people changed from walking to cycling, which brought a burst of cycling wind.

I saw the calm road, a bicycle crossed from time to time, and laughter disturbed the original calm.

As soon as the chickens in the space were raised, a few were left to hatch, and the rest were used by the stream to be the old godmother.

After several experiments, Xi finally made the old godmother. The taste is not the same, but it should be more fragrant and delicious.

As soon as it was promoted in schools, it was very welcome. Then the brook made duck and goose meat, which were less popular than chicken, but they were also very good.

Xi made another batch of salted duck eggs and salted eggs, which she had done, and it was very good to pickle.

I selected a batch of eggs and duck eggs and went to Longyan to make preserved eggs.

In their place, it is rare to use duck eggs to wrap eggs, and it is estimated that there are few duck breeders. People choose eggs to wrap their eggs.

Xi's preserved eggs have a time limit, and every time it comes to preserved eggs, Xi is very excited.

Before the preserved eggs are ripe, they hurriedly knock off the outer shell, and then peel the shell to taste the deliciousness.

You can also eat undercooked preserved eggs, and the yolk inside is thin, just like an undercooked egg. But it doesn't affect the deliciousness of the preserved eggs at all, I don't know if it's really delicious, or if she's too urgent.

A well-wrapped preserved egg will also have pine flowers like a preserved egg wrapped in duck eggs. The crystal clear amber blooms with pine flowers, which is very beautiful.
