The fact that salted eggs can be sold for money makes the whole village happy, and they understand Uncle Man Jin and Bimu's practice of making them a penny more: without two people taking the lead, they don't know that salted eggs can still be sold for money, and they can sell for a lot of money. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe some of them later thought of going into the city to sell salted eggs for money, but there was no way, so they could only sell them at the price of one or two more fresh eggs in the concentration. Like now, an egg sells for seven or eight times more than the price. The extra money earned by the Manjin father and son was the hard work of the people, who came to buy salted eggs and shipped them to the county to sell, saving them time to run errands.

The villagers happily sold all the salted eggs to the two father and son, and then set out to make a new batch of salted eggs. They inquired from Bimu that the salted egg business was likely to be a long-term business, and Qingye Village was the only one that made salted eggs, and Da Zhou was so big, the salted eggs they made would definitely be in short supply. If there is a will, all the villagers will make the method of making salted eggs as a secret, except for the people in the village, they are not allowed to tell anyone from other villages, so as not to leak the method and make them lose the root of making money. In particular, the daughters-in-law who married from other villages to Aoba Village were not allowed to tell their mother's family about the method of making salted eggs, otherwise the husband's family would immediately abandon them and drive them out of the village.

The first batch of salted eggs were all made by the villagers to eat at home, the number was not much, there were only a dozen of them, and all the salted eggs in the whole village were only three or four hundred, Bimu alone could carry back to the county seat, but Uncle Man Jin followed him to the county seat - mainly to get money, and after coming back, he had to share the money to the villagers.

The shopkeeper asked people to wait for Bimu at the door early in the morning, and after seeing him carry the salted eggs back, he immediately asked Ah Guang to take twenty salted eggs to the kitchen to cook, and then began to count the number.

"Why so little?" The shopkeeper saw that there were only more than 300 salted eggs, and he was slightly dissatisfied.

Uncle Man Jin's eyes were hidden and he said with a humble face: "Shopkeeper Zhao, salted eggs are the secret recipe handed down from our ancestors in Aoba Village, and everyone also eats them by themselves, and the amount of each family is not much." I didn't expect the shopkeeper to take a fancy to this salted egg, which made us feel honored to be in Aoba Village, and took out all the salted eggs at home, and only got so much. But don't worry, our village has already started to make the next batch of salted eggs, and we will send you new salted eggs in half a month. There are at least a thousand so many. ”

The shopkeeper was a little satisfied: "You are from Aoba Village?" ”

Some time ago, the manifestation of the ancestors of Aoba Village caused a sensation in the entire county, and the immortal seeds they offered were also distributed to various villages by the county lord, and I heard that the growth was very good. Shopkeeper Zhao has relatives in the countryside, and often hears that his relatives are grateful to Aoba Village, and when he heard that Uncle Man Jin turned out to be a person from Aoba Village, he put down his heart to explore the secret recipe of making. No wonder the salted eggs are so delicious, it turns out that they are also produced in Aoba Village, and their ancestors must have told them, if they went to take this secret recipe, wouldn't they offend the ancestors of Aoba Village. What if they talk to themselves in the middle of the night?

Uncle Man Jin squinted his eyes, understood the shopkeeper's thoughts, and laughed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, the ancestors gave strength, and the children and grandchildren followed to enjoy the blessings. Now, as long as they say that they are from Aoba Village, others have to give them some face, and they dare not offend them easily.

"Yes." Uncle Man Jin nodded and said, "Our village is blessed by our ancestors, whether it is the grain or vegetables grown in the field, it is more delicious than other places." Shopkeeper, do you want to buy the vegetables from our village? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao was moved by this and asked, "The vegetables in your village won't be sold more expensive than others, right?" ”

"No, no." Uncle Man Jin repeatedly promised.

Shopkeeper Zhao thought that it was too much time for the inn to go to the market every day to buy vegetables, and it was better to designate a family to deliver vegetables every day, so he said: "Okay, you send vegetables over once a day every two days, and I will buy your vegetables at the price in the market." ”

Uncle Man Jin nodded, and the folds on his face were full of smiles: I have found another way to make money.

The satisfied Uncle Man Jin left the county with the money from selling salted eggs, and at this time, it was only three o'clock in the morning, and the round sun had just risen in the sky, and many people had just gotten up. The merchants living in the inn all had to get up early to hurry, and at this time they had already come to the lobby and asked Xiao Er to serve them breakfast. The kitchen master and Ah Guang Bimu benefited from the shopkeeper and gave each table a salted egg. A salted egg was cut into twenty pieces by the master chef and placed on a plate, as beautiful as a blooming flower. The guests were all stunned, and then took another piece and ate it.

"Delicious!" After eating, one guest praised loudly, "This dish is so delicious, but it's a pity that the portion is a little less." The shopkeeper, another plate. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao stepped forward with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, guest, the previous plate was given to you by our inn." You're going to have to pay for the next set. ”

The guest said, "Uncle, don't I seem to have any money?" Hurry up and come back to the next plate. ”

Many of the guests reacted the same way as this guest, asking the shopkeeper to serve another plate or even two of salted eggs. In an instant, all twenty salted eggs were sold.

The guest was still unsatisfied, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, two more plates." ”

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Guest, there is no such dish as Jin Xi egg in the kitchen." ”

"Jin Xi Egg? The name sounds good. Jin Xi is another name for the sun, and the egg in this egg is golden and brilliant, and it is indeed very similar to the sun. A guest in a brocade robe laughed.

The previous guests didn't care if the name sounded good or not, they just asked for the food: "If there is no more, will the kitchen continue to be a mother?" I can afford to wait, uncle. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao will not let the kitchen continue to cook salted eggs, selling twenty salted eggs a day, more than three hundred are just enough to sell for half a month, and when the time comes, the people of Aoba Village will just send a new batch of salted eggs over. Resolutely can't sell more than a day, let the next day open the window.

"Uncle, the materials are gone."

"What?" The guest was furious, "Won't you let people buy the materials when they are gone?" It's just a few eggs, and you're still pushing back. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly said: "Guest, it's not a small push, it's just that this Jinxi egg is not an ordinary egg, but an egg that has been marinated for half a month with a secret method." Eggs and duck eggs are easy to buy, but even I don't know about the other ingredients and the secret method of pickling. ”

The guest was skeptical: "You really don't know? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao swore and whispered: "The little one really doesn't know." If the little one knew it, he would have asked the master to make thousands of them for the guests, and they could eat as much as they wanted. Don't the little ones want to make money? ”

The guest let the shopkeeper go, just staring at the empty plate and licking his lips.

After this incident, Jin Xidan's name spread. Every morning, many people go to the inn just to eat a bite of Jinxi eggs. The price of Jin Xi eggs also rose from 30 wen to one or two silver. In this regard, Bi Mu was stunned and admired the shopkeeper a lot, his father was still far behind the real profiteer shopkeeper.

There are many merchants coming and going in Jingyang County, and these merchants will buy a few salted eggs to eat on the road every time. Salted eggs are delicious, easy to carry and not easy to spoil, and are very popular with merchants. With the route of the merchants, the name of Jin Xidan spread throughout the Great Zhou, and even spread to the neighboring country of Beiliang. The emperor also became interested in Jin Xi eggs, but he had a very useful and very eye-catching brother-in-law, when Jin Xi eggs had just become famous, his brother-in-law Jiang Da Young Master presented Jin Xi eggs to the emperor, so that the emperor could taste this delicious Jin Xi eggs. The emperor ate happily and personally inscribed the words "the first egg in the world". Since then, Jin Xidan's reputation has become even greater, and the shopkeeper Zhao has become the richest person in the county after Master Jiang because of this egg, and the villagers of Aoba have also quadrupled because of the quality of life of Jin Xidan - Shopkeeper Zhao can't monopolize Jin Xidan, and many other businessmen came to Aoba Village, and the purchase price rose from ten yuan to twenty or thirty yuan, so that the villagers made a lot of money.

And when the eldest brother of the Li family in Biansai ate the "Jinxi Egg", which was praised by everyone as the top delicacy, there were only two words that could express his inner reaction: hehe.

Li Zhoule and Li Yishu saw the changes that salted eggs brought to Aoba Village, and only sighed: "I have no intention of planting willows and willows!" ”

………………

Time is not slow or low into May, and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming. This festival is not very important in modern times, except for eating zongzi and hanging wormwood, traditional activities such as dragon boat rowing are rare. In ancient times, the Dragon Boat Festival was very important. The legend of the Dragon Boat Festival comes from Qu Yuan, but it is said that earlier, almost in the Neolithic period, the ancient Baiyue people had the custom of sacrificing to the dragon god for the Dragon Boat Festival. Later, the Dragon Boat Festival was set as an evil day, all because of midsummer, the weather is hot and humid, poisonous insects attack, the plague miasma started, the human body is easy to get sick, therefore, the ancients attached great importance to this solar term, the various activities of the Dragon Boat Festival, are aimed at avoiding evil, repelling troops, poisoning, and driving away ghosts.

Han Nuo's zongzi are all home-made, although now both supermarkets and snack bars have zongzi for sale, all kinds of flavors, buy home and heat up to eat, but the Han family is still used to making their own zongzi - who calls their family idlers.

The glutinous rice was soaked for a night, all kinds of materials were prepared, and the Han family began to make zongzi around the table. Mung beans and red dates are wrapped into sweet rice dumplings, and braised pork and sausages are wrapped into salty rice dumplings. The three members of Han Nuo's family are all salty parties, so most of them are salty zongzi, and only ten sweet zongzi are wrapped. Han's mother and Han's father are very skilled, and the dumplings are only half the size of a palm, small and cute. After cooking the zongzi, Han Nuo secretly hid a few. After dinner, Han Nuo excused himself for a walk, took a few zongzi to the rental house, and put them in the trash.

After being able to communicate with the Li family sisters and Wen brothers by video, Han Nuo knew that the things he put into the porcelain jar during the festival were not transmitted to the world where Li Yishu was, which also made Han Nuo sure that the porcelain jar was not only connected to one world, but the other worlds may be limited and can only be opened during the festival. In order to prevent the self-wrapped zongzi from being spoiled by the porcelain jar and not knowing which world to be teleported to, Han Nuo put the zongzi into the porcelain jar one day in advance and sent it to the Li family with blessings. Soon, Han Nuo naturally also harvested the zongzi transmitted by the Li family's sisters and brothers, although the filling in the zongzi is not as good as the Han family's, but the ancient materials are fresh and original, and they are much better than the current ingredients, and the taste is not what can be grown by water and soil now. Han's father and Han's mother were amazed after eating it.

The Li family sisters and brothers and the Wen family brothers were also very happy to eat the zongzi sent by Han Nuo, although their lives are better now and they can eat meat often, but the jujubes are rarely eaten, let alone sausages. There are no sausages in this world. Although the eldest brother of the Li family knew how to make sausages, he didn't expect it for a while, and later he joined the army, thinking about fighting and improving his ability all day long, let alone making sausages. Therefore, to this day, sausages have not appeared in this world.

Li Zhoule ate the delicious sausage, was very interested in it, and thought about asking Sister Han how to make it, and Sister Han should tell her.

After breakfast, Li Zhoule gave Li Yishu, Wen Ziyu and Wen Zijue the five-color silk thread and tied it to their wrists. The five-colored silk thread is called "Dividing Soldiers" or "Hehuan Suo", which has the meaning of praying for wars and plagues not to happen, and also has the meaning of "Dividing Soldiers and Hating Ghosts", to bless children from being entangled by ghosts and evil spirits. Li Zhoule took out a sachet embroidered with five-color silk thread and handed it to Wen Zixia to wear, which contained wormwood, calamus and other herbs, cinnabar, realgar and other things, which also had the effect of dispelling evil and dispelling diseases.

A group of people walked out of the door, are the villagers who are ready to go out, at a glance, the door of each house is hung with wormwood and calamus, only after the Dragon Boat Festival, the women will boil the two into water for the children to bathe.

Now every family has a mule to drive, but the cow is still too expensive, and the mule has a lot of strength, so the villagers first buy a mule for temporary use.

The county organized dragon boat rowing activities, and the villagers went to see the dragon boats. At noon, they would eat zongzi while watching dragon boats on the shore, and some people in a better situation brought realgar wine. Realgar wine is made of calamus and realgar and other things, in fact, realgar is poisonous, many people also know, but the ancients thought that drinking realgar wine can drive away demons and avoid evil, which is "to fight poison with poison".

The villagers saw a group of five people, all of them greeted them warmly, now everyone is living a good life, all thanks to them, if there is no Li Zhoule to teach the recipe of making salted eggs to all the women in the village for free, how can everyone sell a penny of eggs and duck eggs to twenty or thirty yuan?

"Zhou Le, your Aunt Mancang has booked a shed on the shore to block the sun, do you want to join us." Aunt Mancang warmly invited Li Zhoule to the five of them.

"No need." Li Zhoule refused with a smile, "Brother Wen also booked a shed before, we have a place to shade the sun, and it won't be sunburned." Why didn't you see Xiao Xia? ”

Aunt Mancang said: "I sent it to his grandmother's house." You won't forget this custom, will you? ”
