Chapter Seventy-One: Five-Spiced Tea Eggs
"Well, I can't say, this one tastes so good and fragrant, there must be a market!" Wang's words made Wang Ya's eyes suddenly light up, and she said as if she was encouraged: "Mother, how about you say I sell this tea egg?" ”
Wang glanced at Wang Ya in surprise, and Wang Ya continued: "Mother, I don't sell at other times, even when I catch the market, I will sell next to you, if there is a business, our family can make more money!" ”
Wang's eyes are also bright, this idea is good, his current network has been fixed, but if his daughter's network can be sold, he can also earn more.
After Wang ate one, he still wanted to eat the second one, but after thinking about it, forget it, save it for the night, if you finish eating it once, won't you have to eat it next time? If Wang Ya hadn't scourged these eggs herself, the Wang family would have been reluctant to eat these eggs.
Here every three is the market day, the origin is no longer examinable, Wang Ya from the mouth of the Wang family to know the Tao, their bazaar is called the three markets, every three bazaar, namely: the third day of the first month, the thirteenth, the twenty-third, these three days, people will gradually put their own surplus things in the house, take out the day to sell, and, also because of the convention, so, the bazaar has gradually developed to the present, with a certain scale, many families if there are extra things, they prefer to sell on this day, people also like to go shopping on this day, Shopping for stuff as the day is well stocked.
Tomorrow is the market, Wang said a little anxiously: "Little girl, what to do with this, you tell your mother, your mother will make some, tomorrow." We can take it to town and sell it. ”
Wang Ya said: "No, mother." I'll do it, you go weave it. The more you make up, the more we can earn. Let's make money together! ”
Listening to her daughter's sensible words, Wang couldn't help but bow her head at Prince Ya's cheeks, and said with a smile: "Little girl, my mother's good girl!" It's so handsome! These words are not to praise Wang Ya's beautiful face, but to praise Wang Ya for being filial, sensible, and intelligent. So, ordinary people, I really can't understand it!
At least, Wang Ya blushed and said embarrassedly: "Mother! "I can't figure it out in my heart: Does Joon have anything to do with this? If you want to praise, you should also praise yourself for being sensible, right?
Wang Ya was confused, but she didn't ask, seeing that Wang really went back to the house, Wang Ya hurriedly asked loudly: "Mother." How many tea eggs do you want to make? ”
Wang said: "Xiaoya, you can do it yourself, well, there are more eggs at home." Otherwise, you're all done! ”
There are a total of forty-three eggs in the family, and ten of them were made by Wang Ya. There are still thirty-three left, although Wang said it. will continue to do it, but Wang Ya is worried that if there is no market. Wouldn't these tea eggs be able to eat yourself to death?
Therefore, Wang Ya thought about it, she had just eaten two with Wang, and there were eight left, these soups didn't need to be prepared separately, and then twenty-two of them should be boiled, if this tea egg could be sold, it would be enough to make more next time. However, if you can't sell it, it's not good, and this tea egg is smashed in your hands. And, thirty tea eggs, it's a big deal, if you can't sell them, she and the Wang family, eat three a day, and they won't be unable to eat it.
Wang Ya took out twenty-two eggs, and then put these eggs in the pot to boil, and when they were cooked, Wang Ya took out these eggs again, soaked them in cold water, and then broke the eggshells one by one, put them into the soup that had been made before, and put them together with yesterday's, and stew them over low heat, so that the taste is better.
In fact, it is no wonder that Wang's heart is moved, just because the tea eggs made by Wang Ya are so delicious. Wang Ya is one of the classic tea eggs: five-spiced tea eggs, which are made of star anise, cinnamon, pepper, ginger, bay leaves, old cumin powder, sugar, dark soy sauce, salt, needless to say, it must be put in, and the tea powder, no way, they are not a rich family, even if it is this tea powder, He Qiu stole Wang Sheng's to use.
The family can't afford to use good tea, even if it's bad tea, it's too expensive, Wang Sheng only bought one or two tea leaves at home, and when a distinguished guest came, he drank it, and usually drank tea foam, and now, Wang Ya used to steal Wang Sheng's rations!
Even so, the spiced tea eggs made by Wang Ya are very delicious, the entrance is fragrant, sweet and salty, not to mention how wonderful the taste is, people can't stop it, that is, Wang almost can't help but want to eat another one.
After getting all the eggs right, putting them in the soup of the tea eggs, together with the pot, on top of the iron stove, and simmering over low heat, He Qiu began to think about how much this tea egg should be sold for.
Wang said: "An egg is less than a penny, generally speaking, two pennies, you can buy three!" ”
When Wang Ya heard this, she asked, "Then, mother, you said that I am this, how much is the right price?" You can't sell it for a penny, can you? ”
"Naturally, it can't, at least, it has to sell two articles!" Wang said absentmindedly.
Wang Ya listened, two pennies, and then calculate their own cost, immediately felt a little not cost-effective, not to say anything else, just say, the coal used, the time spent not to say, if there are no eggs at home, the cost is 0.67 yuan, plus, those seven, seven, eighty, eight or eight spices, so calculated, not much at all, at most is to earn a coolie money, this is not Wang Ya's original intention, Wang Ya immediately said: "Mother, if you want me to say, this tea egg, I simply sell it for three cents, you see can make it?" ”
"Sanwen? Wouldn't it be too expensive? Wang stopped what he was doing, and finally focused on Wang Ya.
Wang Ya listened to it and felt a little deflated, is it really expensive? However, Wang Ya calculated carefully, two pennies and a tea egg are absolutely not cost-effective, those materials, those kung fu, don't you need money?
Wang Ya thought about it again, and thought, otherwise, it would be good to sell a tea egg for five cents, not to sell it to adults, but to sell it to children to eat, it is still very expensive, but unfortunately, it would be good if you could directly sell this tea egg to the little master of a rich family, a tea egg, five cents, can definitely be bought.
However, later, Wang Ya thought about it, this is actually a bit unreliable, and then calculate carefully, in fact, the price of a tea egg is already very high, mainly to earn a fresh, two dollars a tea egg is a normal price.
Thinking about it like this, Wang Ya had an idea, and said: "Mother, I think so, I'll sell one for three cents, two for five cents, if no one buys it before, I'll cut one for everyone to taste first!" ”
Wang Ya still didn't believe it, so in order to please the children, the adults were reluctant to even pay three cents.
After making up her mind, Wang Ya settled down, and also helped Wang's weaving, but was driven away by Wang's family, since Wang Ya's strength has become greater, Wang's always has to prevent Wang Ya from destroying some flowers and plants, although Wang Ya has learned to reduce the intensity of things, but occasionally forget, or excited, according to the normal strength of the work, it is estimated that even people can be torn into pieces of paper by her.
Wang Ya naturally didn't know what was in Wang's heart, and seeing that Wang didn't let him touch those red silk threads, he could only pick up his little bow and arrow indignantly to vent his anger.
In winter, Wang Ya was fortunate to go hunting in the mountains and forests with Wang Sheng, and received some field guidance from Wang Sheng, so that Wang Ya's archery skills, especially those of dabbling in living creatures, improved.
The next morning, Wang Ya put her small bamboo basket on her back, and there was a small iron pot in it, this, but you have to go to the place, and then start heating, this kind of weather is so cold, eating a tea egg, it can also warm the body, you can't let people eat cold, no one buys it, and then eat cold, no one buys it.
Therefore, Wang Ya insisted on bringing the pot, anyway, there was no need for Wang's back, and Wang couldn't persuade his daughter, so he could only agree.
Wang Ya and Wang came to their own stall location, this location has become Wang's fixed-point stall location, and around Wang's family, there is the previous couple who sold their own family property cloth and the eldest sister who sold some handkerchiefs and the like.
The couple's surname is Chen, the husband's name is Chen You, the wife is Chen, and the eldest sister who sells handkerchiefs is actually a widow named Lin and has a child named Lin Hai.
As soon as Chen saw that the Wang family was coming, he greeted him warmly: "Yo, Sister Wang, you are here, why are you so late?" I thought you weren't coming today! ”
"Hehe, we came on foot today, so it's a little late!" Wang replied.
The Lin family likes to tease Wang Ya and said, "Little girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss Aunt Lin?" ”
"Yes, Aunt Lin, I miss you every day! Thinking about it, Aunt Lin's handkerchief is so beautiful, it would be nice if she could give me one! Wang Ya replied slyly.
Lin, who was originally a little happy, nodded at Wang Ya's head, smiled at Wang Ya and scolded: "Wow, you dare to play Aunt Lin, don't say it's a handkerchief, even if you have a scrap, don't think that Aunt Lin can give it to you!" ”
That being said, Aunt Lin really took the best handkerchief from her stall and wanted to hand it to Wang Ya, Wang Ya naturally didn't want it, Wang Ya originally listened to Wang Ya's words, and was so happy that she couldn't straighten her waist, her own girl, sometimes she is naughty and makes people love and hate! At this moment, seeing Lin's movements, Wang was also busy saying: "Ouch, her Aunt Lin, don't give it again, I'll turn my face with you, let's not do this!" Xiaoya is just joking, why should you take it seriously! ”
When the Chen couple heard Wang Ya's words, they couldn't laugh, it turned out that the Chen family was still planning to pretend to be jealous, but there was no need for it now, they just felt that Wang Ya was really cute. (To be continued......)
