The village collects things, if this basket is not taken back in time, Zhao Qingjube will naturally return it in the future, this is the old rule, after all, there are names written on it.

Zhao Qingzao was also quite speechless, her heart became more and more impatient, and she didn't bother to bother with her, so she quickly ordered two pennies, handed it to Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Okay, give you money." ”

If it weren't for the basket that she really couldn't put down, she planned to change it directly, a broken basket, barely a penny, and the old woman opened her mouth.

Mrs. Zhao got the silver and left satisfied, Zhao Qingzao also continued to collect the duck eggs behind, but Grandma Niu saw this, her eyes were so angry that her eyes erupted, and she said coldly: "Such a person, a broken basket, who is rare, pay back two pennies, and lose what she said, it's really shameless." ”

"Grandma Niu, just say a few words, their family is such a person, this is also Qingzao has a good temper. ”

"Yes, I also owe Qingjube to her good temper, I changed it, even the duck eggs just now, let her carry it back!"

Seeing this, several villagers echoed it.

In any case, Zhao Qingzao's identity is different now, it is Grandma Niu, because Chu Xingshan is on an errand in the Yamen, no one dares to underestimate him, so everyone is very polite to them.

Mrs. Zhao's move really made them look at it, everyone in a village, although there are contradictions and gossip on weekdays, but in the public, most of them are to save face, like Mrs. Zhao, it is really embarrassing to throw people home.

After collecting all the duck eggs, Zhao Qingzao calculated, no less than three or four hundred, and couldn't help but smile for a while.

So many duck eggs are not a small number, or they are cleaned, it takes a lot of time, not to mention that they have to be pickled later, Zhao Qingzao couldn't be busy at all, and immediately said to Grandma Niu: "Grandma, you have to help me make salted duck eggs and preserved eggs this time." ”

"Okay, it's okay, I'm idle anyway. Grandma Niu readily agreed, anyway, she is old, and there is no way to farm, but her legs and feet are neat, and it is easy to do this little thing.

But after that, Grandma Niu seemed to think of something, and hesitated: "But you just let me help like this, I'm not afraid that I will learn your recipe." ”

"If you learn it, you will learn it, sooner or later someone will know, besides, Grandma is reluctant to bully me. Zhao Qingzao grinned, looking very innocent.

She was telling the truth, if this method spread, it would be difficult to keep it when the time came, and even if she wanted to keep it, it was estimated that she could only keep it secretly for a year or two.

Seeing this, Grandma Niu poked Zhao Qingzao angrily and said, "You little girl, you have no mouth to hide." Having said that, Grandma Niu felt Zhao Qingzao's trust and was still extremely happy.

Zhao Qingzao covered his mouth and smiled, thought about it, and then said: "By the way, Grandma, in the future, I plan to do this salted duck egg and preserved egg for a long time, I can't be busy alone, and I have to ask you for help when the time comes, why don't I give you two taels of silver a month, and it also saves you from learning the formula, and you have to work hard to do it yourself, how about it?"

This is what she suddenly remembered just now, after all, her strength alone is too small, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be busy, please ask others to worry, it is better to let Grandma Niu help.

When Grandma Niu heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Okay, I'm idle anyway, but this salary is a little more, so it's better to count it for one or two silver." ”

"Then how can it be done, one or two pieces of silver is too much of a loss, and you are not afraid of people's jokes when you say it, not to mention that you are so old, you are willing to do it, Brother Chu and I are not happy, Brother Changting will definitely say that I will say two taels of silver, so it is decided." ”

Zhao Qingzao crackled and said, and immediately set the salary.

Seeing this, Grandma Niu nodded busily and said, "Okay, it's all up to you." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao smiled, and pulled Grandma Niu to rest first and continue to work.

Grandma Niu is so old, and now she still has such an easy job, and the salary given by Zhao Qingzao is not low, she was also excited for a while, and felt extremely satisfied, so she didn't rest for a while, and began to work for Zhao Qingzao.

Seeing Grandma Niu busy working, Zhao Qingzao naturally couldn't sit still, but sighed in his heart for no reason, people in these years are real, no matter how long or short they work, they are extremely hard working to help people, and they never have any lazy thoughts when they get up early and touch the dark.

There are so many duck eggs, it is almost impossible to marinate them at one time, and Zhao Qingzao's family is poor, and there are not so many places to put them, so after some calculations, it is estimated that they can get fifty salted duck eggs and one hundred preserved eggs first, and the rest can only be done by continuing to buy large vats.

Pulling it, Zhao Qingzao immediately got busy, her main focus now is on preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, she does very little, after all, the price is much lower than preserved eggs, and the competition is very fierce, so she can only be used as a head.

So, in the next time, Zhao Qingzao asked Grandma Niu to help wash the duck eggs, and he began to clean up the two small jars, and when they were cleaned and put away, Grandma Niu's duck eggs were also half washed.

Salted duck eggs have no technical content, they are still the same, fortunately, the salt prepared by Zhao Qingzao this time is enough, so it is very simple to marinate salted duck eggs, burn a pot of salted water and put it in the tank to be cold, put the duck eggs in, and cover it tightly with old bedding, just do it.

Seeing Zhao Qingzao's familiar appearance, Grandma Niu was amazed and said with a smile: "Qingzao, you still have a way, you can even think of this method, but I see that they make salted duck eggs, don't they use yellow mud, why do you soak them in salt water like this?"

"It's all the same, I don't think it's troublesome, it's so troublesome. Zhao Qingzao explained with a smile, and felt more and more that he was right to make preserved eggs.

After all, even Grandma Niu knows what salted duck eggs are all about, she has to keep making salted duck eggs, and she may die in the end, thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Grandma, do you also know how to make salted duck eggs?"

"I've only seen it once, and I still can't figure out how duck eggs are cooked. Grandma Niu shook her head, knowing how to do it is one thing, but if you don't know how much salt to put in, no matter how good you learn, it's useless.

Zhao Qingzao nodded and sighed: "This thing, to put it bluntly, it's not a big deal, you see, it's just salt water, the duck eggs have eaten through the salt and become hard, they are salted duck eggs." ”

Grandma Niu nodded, and didn't ask in detail, at her age, she didn't know how many years she could eat, and Chu Xingshan didn't make this material, so she didn't have any thoughts about it.

Zhao Qingzao saw that Grandma Niu didn't continue to ask, and she didn't speak anymore, she could see that Grandma Niu really didn't care about her prescription.

After the salted duck eggs were full, it was the turn of the preserved eggs, because they had to mix yellow mud and other messy things, and they were busy sweating for a while.

Yellow mud lime, etc., still stirred as last time, plus plant ash, etc., I was busy for half an hour, and I got almost enough thirty or forty duck eggs, but don't look at the pile of mud and yellow whirring, but it can really be stirred, especially to eat salt thoroughly, make it even and not too thin, and it takes more effort than rubbing noodles.

Zhao Qingzao finally finished it, so she sat down and rested busily, and her strength made her tired.

Looking at Zhao Qingzao's panting appearance, Grandma Niu smiled and said, "Qingzao, I see, let's come, you go and rest." ”

Compared with Zhao Qingzao, Grandma Niu has been doing farm work for a long time after all, and her strength is not much worse than that of men.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao smiled and said: "It seems that I am still not as capable as Grandma, these two taels of silver are too worth it." ”

Grandma Niu immediately glared at Zhao Qingzao and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you are still young, you haven't grown your strength yet, and you will be much stronger than me in a few years. ”

Saying that, Grandma Niu didn't dwell on such trivial matters, pointed to the pile of yellow mud, and said, "That's fine, what should I do next?"

"The next thing to do is to roll the duck eggs in the yellow mud and wait for a thick layer of mud. ”

Zhao Qingzao said, picked up a duck egg, put it in the mixed mud and rolled it, and then picked it up and put it in the jar on the side, saying, "Oh, that's it." ”

"It's that simple?" Grandma Niu's eyes bulged, a little incredulous.

"Yes, salt, lime, and rice husks cost money to buy, and the rest is simple. Zhao Qingzao smiled.

Seeing this, Grandma Niu also did the same, and not long after, forty duck eggs were stained with yellow mud and lay quietly in the tank.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao smiled and said, "No, then I'll continue to mix some yellow mud!"

"Okay, I'll wash your duck eggs. ”

Seeing this, Grandma Niu became busy with a look of surprise.

It's just that when Zhao Qingzao was busy, he suddenly saw and heard Grandma Niu exclaim: "Ah, why is it broken, it stinks!"

Zhao Qingzao was stunned when he heard this, leaned over to take a look, and immediately saw Grandma Niu pinching the broken duck egg in her hand, and there was a smell of rotten eggs in it, and she couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's broken, it's okay, just throw it away." ”

"Wow, that's a badass!"

Grandma Niu was still a little guilty, and accidentally broke a duck egg, but when she took a closer look, her face suddenly changed, and she said angrily: "Green dates, this duck egg is broken." ”

As soon as he smelled the strange smell, Zhao Qingzao noticed it, and couldn't help frowning: "Grandma, what's going on, how can duck eggs be so easy to spoil!"

Duck eggs, like eggs, are very durable and not so easy to spoil at all!

"Hmph, wait, I'll be quiet!"

Grandma Niu said, stretched out her hand and took out a few duck eggs from the basket next to her, looked at them, shook them in her ear again, and then said angrily: "Green dates, several of these duck eggs are bad." ”

"Grandma, what's going on?" Zhao Qingzao's face was also a little unsightly, she was worried that the salted duck eggs made of these bad duck eggs would be a big problem if they ate someone to death at that time.

"Hmph, what's going on, it's not that these duck eggs have been in the nest for too long and haven't hatched, so they're broken!"

Grandma Niu snorted coldly, and then said angrily: "This basket belongs to Mrs. Zhao, this old Zhao family is really not a thing, and it took so many bad things at once!"

Zhao Qingzao listened, and his face was a little unpleasant, but he immediately sighed: "Forget it, grandma, you can see whether the duck eggs are good or bad, and you can help me look at them carefully later." ”

"Yes. ”

Grandma Niu nodded, with a gloomy face, and said: "Qingzao, this matter must not be counted like this, no, take these back and return them, this old lady Zhao is too deceitful!"

"Forget it. Zhao Qingzao also had anger in his heart, but in the end he sighed: "I can't return it, I've been accepting it for so long, and now I go to them, and they won't admit it!"

"Is that it, is there no heavenly reason? Grandma Niu was so angry that she was half dead.

"Forget it, it's not much anyway, just take it as a lesson, and we'll pay attention to it next time. ”

Zhao Qingzao secretly scolded in his heart, and at the same time reminded himself that he should pay more attention in the future, this time fortunately, Grandma Niu recognized it, in case he didn't recognize it and was eaten, then it would be a big problem.
