When she got up the next day, she was still in a hurry to wait for the news, and Mu Zhen planned to cook and be busy and distracted.

Early in the morning, the meal was simple, thinking that someone else sent a lot of eggs yesterday, Mu Zhen was going to make an omelette, and then cook a pimple vegetable (cabbage) potato slice soup.

In the past two days, the frost has begun, and after the pimple vegetables have been frosted, although they are not brittle, they are exceptionally sweet, so the taste of cooking soup with this is simply not too beautiful.

Because the vegetables will rot after being beaten by frost, they generally start to cover the vegetables in the field with buds after October. Another aspect is to prevent birds from pecking.

Because Mu Zhen likes to eat frosted gnocchi vegetables to cook soup, every time she thinks of this meal, she will go to the field in advance and pick up a few gnocchi vegetables to expose outside.

The next morning, I went to the field to pick it back, and every time I saw Mu Zhen going to such great lengths to stutter and eat, she often made Qi Niang laugh at her, "This girl really spends all her mind on eating." ”

In fact, the best way to make this egg pancake is not gray flour (wheat flour), but artichoke flour (this will tell everyone how to do this later). But Mu Zhen observed that people in this era don't seem to have discovered this way of eating.

In addition, during the time when they were digging potatoes, their family of three still lived with the Song family, and Mu Zhen was too lazy to buy these things.

Egg cakes made from artichoke flour are more elastic and chewy than those made from gray flour. I don't know if the kind of egg scones I often ate in my previous life were made with artichoke flour, but even if they were, the ingredients were probably not natural.

Therefore, although Mu Zhen likes this snack very much, as long as she doesn't make it herself, she rarely eats it.

When Mu Zhen opened the cabinet with eggs, she was really stunned.

Because at this time, there is no one who specializes in producing the kind of carton that contains eggs, so the eggs and grain are generally put together at home.

Ordinary people pack food, such as wheat and buds, and they must plant more when they see what they want to eat, so this kind of food is generally specially packed in a few cabinets.

As for eggs, they are easy to break when placed elsewhere, but when they are placed in these grains, they are easy to find and will not be broken if they are light.

The cabinet that Mu Zhen opened was filled with bud grain, because it was bought, so it had the appearance of about 300 catties, and in this cabinet of 500 catties, it was still relatively shallow.

And on the upper layer, there are neat and neat eggs arranged by Aunt Qi, and after counting, there are about a hundred or so of them.

Mu Zhen couldn't help sighing: It is estimated that people raise chickens, and there are not as many eggs in the house as their own.

There are so many eggs, just eating omelets, scrambled eggs, you will get tired of eating, can you make individual tricks to eat?

Mu Zhen, who was pondering while cooking, suddenly remembered the pickled eggs in her previous life.

The so-called pickled eggs, such as preserved eggs and salted duck eggs, all belong to the pickled eggs.

In my previous life, whether it was a pickled egg bought in a shopping mall or a pickled egg eaten in a hotel, I don't know what material it was made of, it was too pickled, and I heard that it contained more lead, and it tasted very tongue-biting.

If you have a bad spleen and stomach, you will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much.

In fact, these things can be made by homemade, and they taste better than this one, and they are also healthier.

However, it may be that the method of making zuò is more troublesome, or because it is not easy to preserve, so you can't buy authentic homemade pickled eggs in the mall.

The method of making pickled eggs is relatively simple, I don't know if there is one in this world, or I asked about it.

"Qi Niang, do you know what pickled eggs are?" While Mu Zhen was busy working on the stove, she asked Qi Niang who was burning the fire.

"Pickled eggs? Haven't eaten it. What good food did you think of again? Looking at Mu Zhen's glowing eyes, Qi Niang felt very funny.

"What about turning eggs, do you know?" Afraid that the name would be different, Mu Zhen confirmed again.

"Eggs? What does it look like? ”

"If it takes a long time, it will be jet-black and translucent when cooked, and if it is marinated for a short time, it will be yellow-brown, shiny and transparent." Even if the name is different, as long as it's this thing, it's always the same when cooked.

Qi Niang thought hard about it, and finally decided: "I really haven't seen it yet." You have a long brain, and you are thinking about some strange food one day. ”

Mu Zhen didn't care about Qi Niang's jokes, and said with a smile: "It's good that I haven't eaten it, wait for me to try to do it, you guys will have a good mouth." ”

During the meal, Mu Zhen told everyone about her plan, because everyone had never seen it, so even Zhao Mingzhe, who had always been steady, was interested.

For Baozhu, needless to say, among this group of people, Baozhu is the third person whose mouth is coveted by Mu Zhen after Yiqing and Dr. Xu.

In fact, pickled eggs have a very long history in the previous life, and they also have medical effects.

According to the medical forest compilation, it can diarrhea lung heat, sober up alcohol, remove intestinal fire, and cure diarrhea. It can be dispersed and collected, and is commonly used to treat sore throat, pharyngeal therapy, hoarseness, and constipation.

The principle of making pickled eggs is also well understood, that is, the use of eggs in an alkaline solution can make the characteristics of protein gel and make it an elastic solid.

However, if the formula of pickled eggs is not good, the protein will be hydrolyzed in the alkaline solution, and the protein will be denatured into a protein, so it cannot be eaten.

If there is a crack in the eggshell or the formula is not well controlled, it will also cause the hydrogen sulfide in the egg to leak out and turn golden brown. Normal pickled eggs are dark green, pine and elastic.

Speaking of pickled eggs, we have to mention those very famous pickled egg snacks, but in the market, they are not called pickled eggs, but preserved eggs.

There are many ways to eat pickled eggs, simple and crude, which is directly cooked and eaten as artichokes. It can also be eaten with condiments, such as soy sauce, soy sauce paste, chili sauce, etc., in previous lives, many restaurants used this way to make cold dishes, or add some tofu, it became the famous preserved egg tofu.

Of course, it can also be made into various dishes, such as sweet and sour preserved eggs, three-color eggs, preserved egg and lean porridge, jade preserved egg custard, etc.

After eating, Mu Zhen began to make zuò pickled eggs.

According to the principle of pickling eggs, we know that only in alkaline solution will eggs change, and in life, this alkaline substance, and suitable for pickling eggs, is, of course, small ash, that is, plant ash.

Because the small ash left over from the fire will have some carbon residue in it, so it needs to be filtered so that it can adhere well to the eggs.

It's as simple as passing a small ash, just sieve it with a basket sieve.

This thing doesn't need much, generally ten catties of almost an old bowl of small ash is enough.

The home-fed chickens are relatively small, so the size of the eggs is not big.

Generally, there is a pound of ten eggs, and ten pounds of eggs only need half a pound of salt and an old bowl of ash.

Although Mu Zhen has eaten homemade pickled eggs, she has never made them herself, so she doesn't know if she can succeed at one time.

In order to avoid waste, she pickled ten of them this time, and she could eat them in about half a month anyway, and if it was successful, she would continue to do it then.

Because there are fewer eggs, there is less salt and ash.

Then, put the salt in an old bowl, pour boiling water into it to melt the salt, and then pour the ashes into the salt water. After the water is warmed, put the eggs in a bowl and boil, and after the whole thing is covered with small ashes, put them in the jar and seal them.

Although the process of making zuò is relatively simple, there are still some details to pay attention to.

For example, if you don't pay attention to the water temperature, put the eggs down with boiling water, the eggs will definitely be scalded, and when the time comes, a stinky one will be boiled, not to mention the spoiled things, and it will be very disgusting.

Of course, you can't use cold water, use cold water, the first can't be salted, the second, there is no temperature to warm, the small ash on the surface of the egg is not easy to change, and the pickling time will be too long, if the weather is cold again, maybe there will be no change in a month or two.

The second, the small ash wrapped in eggs, should not be stirred too thin, nor too dry.

It is too thin to adhere to the surface of the egg, and the egg does not change much. If it's too dry, it contains too much salt, and the eggs are pickled, and eating salty food is not good for the body.

Baozhu was quite happy when she heard Mu Zhen say what to make delicious, thinking how difficult it was, but seeing that Mu Zhen's operation was so simple, she pouted and said: "Zhen Niang, such a simple method, I will watch it once, is it as delicious as you say?" ”

Zhao Mingzhe was also very curious about what Mu Zhen said, but what he was worried about was not about eating, "That's it, sister-in-law, the method is so simple, just salt and small ash, how can you turn white eggs into yellow-brown?" ”

Regarding everyone's questions, Mu Zhen just smiled mysteriously, "Whether it tastes good or not, whether it will change or not, you won't know after half a month." ”

Compared with the disbelief of these two people, Yiqing expressed his extreme trust in Mu Zhen, "Uncle and aunt, my mother said that it must be delicious, and my mother said that it can be changed, so don't ask." ”

After saying that, he nodded, "Well, that's right." ”

Then he threw himself into Mu Zhen's arms and said, "Mother, when the eggs are marinated, Yiqing will eat five." ”

Mu Zhen scratched her son's nose with a smile, and said with a smile: "Glutton, although this thing is delicious, you can't eat too much, after eating too much, Yiqing will become a little fool, how to protect your mother." Moreover, have you forgotten that your mother told you the story of Kong Rong making pears? There are so many people in the family, you have to eat half of it alone, what about grandpa and grandma, and Uncle Shanzi? Could it be that they usually love you in vain, and in your heart, they can't even compare to an egg? ”

Mu Zhen looked at Yiqing calmly and gently told him these truths. Children are meant to be taught, and Mu Zhen never advocates beating and scolding, of course, this is also because Yiqing is more sensible.

Listening to Mu Zhen's words, Yiqing lowered his head in shame, "Mother, Yiqing is wrong, and it won't be in the future." ”

Qi Niang looked at Yiqing's aggrieved appearance, smiled and touched his head, "Our Yiqing is obedient, and we can change our mistakes." ”

Then he said to Mu Zhen: "What's the name of this thing?" Is it called a pickled egg? ”

Mu Zhen knew that Qi Niang was distressed about Yiqing, but when she was educating her children, she never interjected. Besides, children's self-esteem is stronger than that of adults, and Mu Zhen no longer cares.

smiled and said to Qi Niang: "It's not called pickled eggs." Let's call it a changer. ”

"Egg?" Baozhu is strange about Mu Zhen's name or something.

"It's white when you put it in, and it's yellow-brown and shiny when you take it out, so it's called a change."

Before Mu Zhen could say anything, Mo Xiaocai, who had been listening silently on the side, spoke.

Mu Zhen grinned, and was not afraid that these people would be here, and praised: "Those who know my heart are the only ones who are fair." ”

Actually, it's not, it's because when Mu Zhen ate this thing in her previous life, people called it an egg, and she felt that it was not grounded to take a tall name, and all the eggs she used were changed.

The chick has something to say: This practice is true, and interested babies can discuss it with me
