That night, Shen Changting still picked up the lamp to write, and Zhao Qingzao, who was idle, also sharpened ink for him, and learned words by the way, with a mature soul in his body, Zhao Qingzao's ability to learn is really incomparable to ordinary people.

Although she didn't know all those words, she was very literate, and she had an impression after reading them almost a few times, so that if she learned them carefully, she could learn dozens of words in one night. br>

At such a speed, even Shen Changting was surprised, stopped writing from time to time, and exclaimed: "It's a pity that you are a girl, otherwise if your intelligence is used in school, it won't take a few years to get into the office." ”

"Well, I'm smart."

Zhao Qingzao smiled proudly, and fell into a new round of learning as he spoke.

The process of literacy was not much fun for her, but it was an endless temptation for her to learn.

In this way, the time of the night passed in a flash, and when the new day came, Zhao Qingzao carried the bamboo basket and followed Shen Changting to the town again.

"Are you really going to buy duck eggs this time, what are you going to do when you come back to make salted duck eggs?"

On the ox cart, Shen Changting still asked uneasily, she really didn't have much confidence in Zhao Qingzao's idea.

Zhao Qingzao didn't care, and swore solemnly: "Of course, don't worry, I will definitely be able to make it, not only salted duck eggs, but also Songhua eggs, don't be greedy when you eat it." ”

"It's better not to eat a bad stomach." Shen Changting pursed his lips and said: "Forget about salted duck eggs, some people still know the method, you can count it if you ask, what kind of pine flower eggs, you must be careful, spoiling things is a trivial matter, it really hurts people, but it's over." ”

In these years, there are many people who eat rotten things, and the doctor's skills are limited, and there are really not a few people who die of illness every year.

Zhao Qingzao didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when did I get something bad, you still said you couldn't eat the pig when it went into the water last time, didn't I burn it very well, and I didn't eat the dead." ”

Such a powerful reason is really irrefutable, that is, Shen Changting had to nod at this time and said, "Okay, you are amazing, then you should work hard this time." ”

"Well, hehe, I'm sure you'll have something good to taste when the time comes." Zhao Qingzao grinned and said, "By the way, you are doing business in the yamen now, but you have encountered something interesting." ”

"What's interesting, the tax has to wait until the autumn, now is the time to be busy with farming, even the county magistrate, there will be nothing at this time, and he is planning to plough himself." Shen Changting said with a smile.

"Oh? Pro-farming, what is that? Zhao Qingzao frowned slightly.

Shen Changting hesitated for a while, and then explained in a low voice: "It is to cultivate in person, experience the sufferings of the people, and express that it is holy to enjoy with the people. ”

When Zhao Qingzao heard this, he suddenly said: "In this way, this is really hypocritical." ”

"What nonsense." Shen Changting's face sank, and then he felt as if something was wrong, he gently poked Zhao Qingzao, and said in a low voice: "What do you mean?" ”

"Of course I do." Zhao Qingzao leaned over to Shen Changting's ear and said: "Isn't it just to show that I am a parent official who is close to the people, so find a place, meaning, scatter two handfuls of soil, or put two weeds, that is, I will gain fame, and it seems to be happy with the people, which does not violate the holy will, and if I don't do it, I can also deceive the saint and make a sum of capital for my future career." ”

"You!"

Shen Changting was a little speechless, and said angrily: "As an official, you should reflect the difficulties of the people's livelihood, so that you can sympathize with the people and better govern the party." ”

"Cut, what you say is what it is, anyway, I don't believe that the county order is really doing this, do you believe it?" Zhao Qingzao pursed his lips, a little disapproving.

In my previous life, in order to show my integrity, I thought that in my previous life, there were many people who occasionally went to the streets to sweep the streets, but it was just for show, and the benefits that should be reaped were not soft at all.

Shen Changting was obviously a little difficult to accept Zhao Qingzao's straightforward statement, and he was silent for a while.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao also knew that this guy was a dead-eyed nerd, and he couldn't accept it for a while, so he couldn't help whispering: "Brother Changting, don't think I'm unhappy if I say it's ugly, but this is the way of the world, if you don't listen to this, you can't do it, if you want to return the world to a bright future, you have to learn this, know yourself and know your opponent, and then you can think of the way to defeat the enemy." ”

"Eh, don't talk nonsense about these things in the future."

Shen Changting frowned deeply, sighed, and didn't say anything after all.

He is not a fool, what does Zhao Qingzao mean by the way of nature, but he is used to the dogma of a gentleman, and it is difficult to accept it for a while.

Zhao Qingzao accepted it when she saw it, after all, if she wanted to change Shen Changting, it was not an overnight thing, and she was not in a hurry.

The ox cart was swaying, and when he arrived in the town, the sun was already high, Zhao Qingzao got off the ox cart, and he planned to buy duck eggs and buy some salt by the way, Shen Changting saw that the time was still early, and it was not time to go to work, so he simply accompanied Zhao Qingzao.

In the end, Sanwen a duck egg, Zhao Qingzao bought a basket, a full thirty-four, after bargaining, just one hundred Wen, followed by three catties of salt, this year's coarse salt looks yellow, Zhao Qingzao roasted vegetables to eat, generally buy back with a cloth to filter it, but used to pickle salted duck eggs, there is no need to be so troublesome.

After buying duck eggs, Zhao Qingzao finally went to the place where salted duck eggs were sold and bought two salted duck eggs, not to mention that the price of salted duck eggs was really expensive, and two salted duck eggs cost twenty yuan.

When Shen Changting saw it, he couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you planning to do it yourself, what are you doing when you buy someone else's." ”

"Go back and taste it, know yourself and your opponent."

Zhao Qingzao naturally spoke, and the reason was still so strong that Shen Changting didn't know how to refute.

Shen Changting soon went to work, after Shen Changting left, Zhao Qingzao slipped around a few more times, saw the lime seller, couldn't help but light up his eyes, immediately bought a little without hesitation, and went to the tea shop to buy some tea powder, she didn't want to buy tea, but tea is expensive, tea powder, almost all of them are made into tea bricks, very cheap.

Putting together these two things, she estimated that the materials for making Songhua eggs were barely enough, so she went back with the heavy basket, but the basket was too heavy, and she was tired of carrying it, and she was afraid of being robbed, so she didn't wait for Shen Changting.

When she got home, she began to marinate salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs with great interest.

The method of salted duck eggs does not have any technical content at all, and Zhao Qingzao has seen many people do it in the previous life, which is a completely stupid method.

Originally, there were two kinds, one was yellow mud or flour with water and salt, and into a paste, and then put the duck eggs in it and roll, or directly soak the duck eggs in it, seal it for a few days, unseal the sealed bag, and leave it to ferment.

The second way is to soak in salt water, boil a jar of salt water, and soak the duck eggs in it, and it will be the same for a long time.

She started with salted duck eggs and used the second method.

I boiled a few scoops of hot water, added a pound of coarse salt, tasted it, and found that the salty was greasy, and I felt almost it, so I put the salted water in a small jar, added a little vegetable oil, and put it there until it was cold, and then took half of the duck eggs, and put them all into the jar and soaked them in salted water.

After sealing the mouth of the jar, she finally moved the jar to a cool place with satisfaction, and estimated that it would be about 20 days in half a month.

As for the practice of Songhua eggs, Zhao Qingzao also knows some, after all, in the countryside in the last life, there were people who put ducks, and they all made Songhua eggs to sell, Zhao Qingzao has also seen it, and it doesn't feel so difficult.

However, Zhao Qingzao has no other way now, but to come simply, whether it can be done or not, she is also unknown.

She first filled some plant ash from the stove, and then mixed it with white lime, added water and then put about half a catty of salt, stirred into a paste, and finally added some rice husks to feed pigs, as well as yellow mud, tea powder, etc., stirred half a wooden basin of mud together, and finally put the duck eggs in the mud and rolled, with a thick layer of mud on the duck eggs, before taking them out and putting them away.

She remembered that in her previous life, people seemed to do the same, but at that time, she had to put alkali, and there was no such thing in this year, and she estimated that it was not a big problem if she didn't estimate it, after all, this is the role of plant ash.

Next, she looked for a jar to seal, but unfortunately there was no jar at home, so she finally went to Grandma Niu's house to borrow one, after all, the family was really poor.

Before she could put the mud-stained eggs into the jar, Shen Changting came back from work, and saw that Zhao Qingzao was so busy that even the clothes on his hands were stained with a lot of yellow mud, and he couldn't help but say curiously: "What are you busy with?" ”

"What else can you be busy with, make Songhua eggs."

Zhao Qingzao said, quickly washed the jar, and put the yellow duck eggs that looked like a lump into the jar one by one.

Shen Changting looked at it and said curiously: "What is that, put it in the jar." ”

"Duck eggs, stained with yellow mud." Zhao Qingzao said, and showed it to Shen Changting.

Shen Changting was speechless for a while, and frowned: "Can this really be cooked?" ”

"Surely, don't worry." Zhao Qingzao smiled, how sure she was in fact, she really didn't know, it was possible that there was too much lime.

But it doesn't matter, no matter what, she knows the approximate routine, a little more or less is not a big problem, at most it tastes a little worse, after all, Songhua eggs were also had very early in the previous life, and there was no strict ratio at that time, they were all tried slowly.

Anyway, lime is similar to plant ash, yellow mud and rice husk are more, she is worried that it will come slowly, and the plant ash is deliberately put a little more.

That's all she remembers, the only thing she still remembers is Huang Danfen, but unfortunately she just forgot to buy it, even if it is, it's really not possible, next time I'm going to buy it, anyway, thirty duck eggs, half of them made salted duck eggs, and now there are fifteen left, even if it fails, the loss is not big.

instructed Shen Changting to rest, and she immediately began to fill and seal, and she was already tired and sweating profusely when she was busy.

When she cleaned up and reappeared in the house, Shen Changting smiled and said, "Busy?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Qingzao nodded with satisfaction, and then sat down to drink tea.

When Shen Changting saw it, he said helplessly: "You see that you are so busy that you don't even care about lunch, that thing can be eaten as a meal." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Qingzao patted his head and said with a smile: "Forgot to cook, Brother Changting, are you hungry?" I'm going to cook. ”

"It's okay, don't rush for a while, you can rest first."

Shen Changting was also a little helpless.

Zhao Qingzao smiled awkwardly, she was really busy at this time, there was no way, she finally came up with an idea to make money, and she was indeed a little excited.

But it didn't take long for her to be able to eat delicious preserved eggs, and she was excited again for a while.
