Chapter 50: About Duck Eggs

Life still has to go on, life still has to live, after the gas is gone, Zhao Qingzao's life has returned to its original trajectory, noisy, seeing that it is getting dark, after talking to Shen Changting for a while, Zhao Qingzao was busy cleaning up half a duck.

She is also a shrewd thief, and she sent the duck to the village chief, she chopped off the duck paws, and now she is about to clean up together, and the old hen of the old Zhao family has to make a fire and cook it.

Boil water, pluck feathers, as for the duck intestines and the like, Zhao Qingzao didn't ask for it, she could accept the pig intestines, but she didn't touch the duck intestines, Shen Changting naturally looked down on it even more, and threw it directly.

The weather is not hot, and it is said that it is not cool in March, and the duck is also not easy to keep, and in the end, Zhao Qingjube had to touch a layer of salt and marinate it directly, otherwise it could not be stored at all.

What the hell is this, even the pickles have to be made by themselves, and the conditions are not even.

Zhao Qingzao sighed while she was busy working, she really had no experience in these trivial housework, although she was also born in the turtle in her previous life, but after all, she grew up in the city after all, and was used to the rhythm of the city, in this boring and busy world, she was really helpless.

"This doesn't work, you still have to make some money, at least buy a bigger house, and buy two maidservants to serve by the way, if you go on like this, you will get old and decay sooner or later. ”

The more Zhao Qingzao thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and he wanted to die after living this bitter life.

But just when I was busy pickling salted ducks, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered duck eggs.

"I don't know if there are salted duck eggs or Songhua eggs or something, whether there are any of them this year. ”

Zhao Qingzao thought, his eyes were bright, to say that salted duck eggs are fine, Songhua eggs are really not a good thing, and eating too much is extremely bad for the body, but in any case, this thing should be very popular in this year, at least it can make money.

She is now full of money, so whenever she encounters anything, she always thinks about making money, after all, once she is poor these years, she is really poor and can't even afford to eat.

What's more, whether it is her or Shen Changting, it is not the material for farming, Shen Changting is okay, he can take the official career, and there is no problem with the most poor food and clothing, but the body is the biggest obstacle, so she has no choice but to think of other ways to prepare more family funds.

When Zhao Qingzao finished his work, he cleaned it up, saw that it was still early, and was not busy cooking, but came to the hall, and happened to see Shen Changting copying books, so he couldn't help but sit down opposite Shen Changting, and said, "Brother Changting, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?"

Shen Changting put down the pen as he spoke, Shen Changting has always attached great importance to Zhao Qingzao's problem, this woman has nothing else, but every time she has something to ask him, it must be some kind of ghost idea.

Zhao Qingzao thought for a while and said, "Brother Changting, I don't know where there are salted duck eggs or Songhua eggs or something?"

"What are you asking?"

Shen Changting was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "There are salted duck eggs, but most people eat less these days, as for Songhua eggs, what are they?"

"Have you eaten salted duck eggs?" Zhao Qingzao was a little puzzled.

I didn't expect that there were already salted duck eggs in this world, and it was a little unbelievable for a while, looking at the poor sour appearance in this broken ravine, she really thought that duck eggs and eggs in this world were only limited to boiled or fried.

"I've eaten it, there are still some things sold in the town, do you want to eat them? Shen Changting didn't care about it, he didn't take this kind of thing seriously at all, and he didn't expect Zhao Qingzao to expect this to make money.

Zhao Qingzao was a little speechless, entangled, and finally said, "Where are the Songhua eggs?"

"Tell me what Songhua Egg is, I haven't heard of it. Shen Changting was helpless.

Zhao Qingzao had to explain: "Songhua eggs, they are made of duck eggs, after peeling the shell, the egg whites inside are black and yellow, and the yolk is also the same color of the egg, which smells a little stinky." ”

"I haven't seen it, what is it, where did you hear it? Shen Changting frowned slightly, and looked at Zhao Qingzao with some surprise.

The longer the time passed, the more Shen Changting felt that Zhao Qingzao's brain was not normal, and this little girl was thinking about some ideas that ordinary people had never heard of all day long, as far as beating the pig into the water, it was completely impossible for ordinary people to think of, not to mention that this girl had been growing up in this broken ravine.

There are also some big truths that have emerged from Zhao Qingzao, these things are not what she should know at all.

Zhao Qingzao's heart jumped, knowing that it was exposed, and couldn't help but say: "I listened to the chat between the two old women in the town in the morning, and I heard that there is a duck egg with that strange smell, and there are patterns on the shelled egg, which is like pine needles, it is called Songhua egg, I am curious, so I came to ask you." ”

"If you don't have that, the duck eggs are stinky, can you still eat them? ”

Shen Changting's face was slightly gloomy, and he sternly admonished, after all, Zhao Qingzao looked still young, he was very worried that this girl would really eat those messes, and said: "But the salted duck eggs are fine, I'll give you two of them tomorrow." ”

"Eh, okay, I'll go to town with you Ming'er, I'll ask how to do it, buy some duck eggs and come back and make them myself, maybe I can sell them for money." Zhao Qingzao said, revealing a bright smile.

"The money eye went to you. Shen Changting was a little funny.

Zhao Qingzao smiled, "No, now you earn money alone, and you have to support me, that's not good, I can also help make some money, I will use mine after subsidizing the family, you can keep what you earn, save enough, and then we will buy a big yard to live in." ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you want. Shen Changting smiled, picked up the pen and began to copy the book again.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao didn't bother, Shen Changting has been really diligent these days, at least in Zhao Qingzao's opinion, he is much more diligent than at the beginning.

And because Zhao Qingzao is in charge of money, his income is much more now, at least Zhao Qingzao still has a dozen taels of silver in his pocket, which is enough for them to live for a long time.

"But to make salted duck eggs, I'm afraid I still have to ask Grandma Niu to see if there is such a thing. ”

Thinking about it, Zhao Qingzao was still a little uneasy in the end, and decided to ask Grandma Niu, after all, Shen Changting really didn't have any knowledge in this area.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingzao didn't care about studying behind Shen Changting, and took advantage of the fact that it was still early, so he went directly to Grandma Niu.

When Zhao Qingzao came to Grandma Niu's house, Grandma Niu was basking in the sun at the door, and when she saw Zhao Qingzao, she said in surprise: "Qingzao, are you done with family affairs?"

"Yes, it's all right, hehe. Zhao Qingzao smiled a little proudly.

After all, in this battle with the Wang family, she won steadily.

"You. Grandma Niu smiled and asked worriedly: "That family has been dealt with?

"No, how can I suffer, I slaughtered two ducks from their family, and later returned one, and I pickled one more, and I will send some to Grandma to taste another day." ”

The corners of Zhao Qingzao's mouth were upturned, with pride on his face, no matter what, this time the record was really gratifying.

"That's fine, they won't come to provoke you in the future, but you can live a peaceful life, but how to say that they are also your family, don't move the knife in the future, pay attention to some impacts, really turn around, if you can pull them, just pull them, they are all a family, how can there be any overnight feuds." ”

Grandma Niu said, sighed, and said: "It's also a relative, you see that I don't even have a relative in my hometown now, and now I can't find a relative." ”

Zhao Qingzao was silent, speaking of which, she was indeed homesick, thinking of relatives and friends, but it was not from this world, it was useless to think about it, she understood the taste of loneliness, but now the old Zhao family, no matter how she pulled, presumably they would not treat themselves as family.

Thinking of this, she hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it later, at least that old woman is alive, I don't plan to deal with them, so as not to pull everything to their second son, the old woman is eccentric, then the Wang family said that it is my mother, but she is also a confused woman, at this time I am softer, how much family background is not enough, as long as they don't starve to death, what's wrong with her." ”

"It's good that you know what to do. Grandma Niu smiled and didn't say much, obviously he didn't look down on the actions of the old Zhao family.

Although this place is poor, there are not 1,000 households in a county, but there are also benefits, that is, there are few taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so as long as the diligent and certain people have no problem with food and clothing, it is impossible to fall to the point of selling their children and daughters.

Grandma Niu has lived for so many years, and now when she looks at Zhao Qingzao, her heart is like a mirror, although Zhao Qingzao is young, her idea is very right, not everyone can fool her.

Zhao Qingzao didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he asked about salted duck eggs and preserved eggs.

When Grandma Niu heard this, she was surprised and said: "There are salted duck eggs, and they are sold in the town, but duck eggs are cheap these days, but salt is expensive, and the price of salted duck eggs is not low, and there are not many people who eat them, but I really haven't heard of the Songhua eggs you said." ”

"It seems that there is really nothing that can be done?" Zhao Qingzao suddenly looked happy, this is a way to make money.

Grandma Niu shook her head with a smile and said, "Presumably not, but you said that the taste is so strange, it must be rotten, who would dare to eat it." ”

"I don't know, but I'm going to give it a try. ”

Zhao Qingzao shook her head, she didn't know this and sold it for money, after all, although she knew some methods, it was still a question whether she could eat it or not, and she didn't dare to reveal this method completely for a while.

"What do you know?" asked Grandma Niu with a smile.

"I'm not sure, I have to try it, I think salted duck eggs are salted, if you add some other seasonings, can you make other different flavors, just like those people said Songhua eggs." ”

Zhao Qingzao followed the train of thought and found a suitable excuse for herself, after all, she really couldn't explain where she got the method of Songhua eggs, but fortunately, the production process was similar to that of salted duck eggs.

Grandma Niu thought for a while and said, "I don't know this kind of thing, if you want to try, just try it, but don't waste money and save some money." ”

"Well, I know, now Brother Changting's salary has been tightened, but no one dares to bully him, and he has saved ten taels. Zhao Qingzao said, smiling brighter and brighter.

"Clever girl, it is also his blessing to have you by the side of the pavilion. ”

Grandma Niu quipped.

Zhao Qingzao was embarrassed, and saw that the time was not early, so he got up and said, "Grandma, I'll go back first, I'm going home to cook." ”

"Well, go ahead, make that kind of pine flower egg, remember to taste it with me. ”

"Definitely. ”
