Naturally, my aunt didn't praise Wu Zheng so much, but just complained that he spent money arbitrarily, and he didn't know how to save some money when he had money, so he went to the restaurant to eat, so that it would be a day when Wanguan's family would be poor.

The aunt also seemed to think of this sentence, although she didn't know where her nephew learned this cooking skill, she smiled slightly and ignored Wu Zheng, a flamboy, and sat in front of the big stove and began to add firewood to the stove.

Looking at the appearance of the aunt who couldn't stop coughing in the firelight, Wu Zheng knew that his aunt's illness was not as good as he imagined, and the lives of people in this era were not harder than the era in which they lived, just because they were not as delicate as the people of that era, and they were just strong for the life of a large family.

Wu Zheng turned out a jar from the corner, took out a duck egg covered with lime and grass ash from it, removed the gray shell on it and peeled off the dark green eggshell, and a shiny preserved egg appeared in his hand.

The aunt poked her head out from behind the big stove and looked at the preserved eggs in Wu Zheng's hand with curiosity, and asked, "Zheng'er, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "Duck eggs! ”

"Duck eggs?" As soon as the aunt heard that it was a duck egg, she couldn't help but show a look of pity in her eyes, and said, "It's a pity that it's all broken." ”

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, but put the broken duck egg in the bowl and said, "Auntie, it's not bad, this is a preserved egg specially made by my nephew for my aunt, put it in porridge and boil it together, even if I give it to an emperor, I won't change the taste." ”

Auntie smiled, she was speechless about Wu Zheng's witticisms, but she still felt pity for the four preserved eggs that Wu Zheng peeled.

"Why doesn't my aunt believe me?"

Auntie smiled: "How can you believe it or not, I have heard that there are rich and noble people who use salt to pickle duck eggs, but Zheng'er just forgot to put salt." ”

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, and no longer explained, because there was no explanation more convincing than after she had tasted it herself, so she used a kitchen knife to cut the four preserved eggs into cubes, and before the aunt who was burning the fire could react, it had already been poured into the pot by him.

The aunt who stood up in fright saw that the preserved eggs had been put into the pot, and there was a bowl of white rice in the pot, and she was willing to pour it out.

"Auntie will light up another stove, and my nephew will make you another delicious one today."

"It's enough to drink porridge in the morning, what else do you kid want to make trouble? If you have money, you have to save some money, and there are still a lot of places where you can use it in the future, what will you do in the future when you run out now? ”

"In the future, I will earn it again in the future! The little nephew is still afraid that he won't be able to earn money? Can't feed this family? ”

Although the aunt said this, the fire in the other fire chamber still rose, not because she was curious about what Wu Zheng would give her to eat, but in Wu Zheng's memory, this aunt never seemed to refuse herself.

Wu Zheng brushed the pot and poured a pot of vegetable oil into it.

The aunt stood up again in fright and said, "Zheng'er, what are you going to do, you can use such a big pot of oil?" ”

"Of course it's fried fritters!"

After speaking, Wu Zheng lifted the linen cloth on the board, and the dough that began to ferment last night appeared in front of the two of them.

"Fried fritters? This...... How much gas does it cost? ”

Seeing that his aunt didn't care about the fritters but first cared about the oil at home, Wu Zheng didn't think it was funny and said, "Don't worry!" Auntie doesn't have much to do with oil. By the way, has my aunt ever seen someone frying fritters on the street before? ”

The aunt shook her head, Wu Zheng wrapped a piece of cloth around her waist, and said with a smile while starting to cut the dough: "It's good that I haven't seen it, I really scared my nephew to death just now, and my nephew plans to use it to make a fortune in the future!" By the way, there is also the pot of preserved egg porridge in the pot, and our old Wu family's fortune starts with these two things. ”

Wu Zheng originally wanted to cook preserved eggs and lean porridge, but he found that people in this era have not yet begun to get used to eating pork, and if they want to find a pig in the market in Yuzhoucheng, it is even more difficult than finding a cow.

But Wu Zheng clearly remembered that the town of Guanxi in the Water Margin was a pork seller! Although it is said to be the Great Zhou Dynasty now, the town of Kansai should have been born long ago!

Forget that this era was played bad by Wu Sansi's guy, it is better not to find pork, so that there will be one more rich pig farming in the village in the future, otherwise it would be a pity that the sweet potato vine was wasted.

Although he didn't find Seinfeld or pork in the past few days, Wu Zheng found alum, which made Wu Zheng, who originally planned to make dumplings for his family, decisively let go of his original plan and began to fry fritters.

Two pieces of two-inch-long noodles are stacked together, pressed with chopsticks in the middle, and pulled out of the oil pan in his hand and put it, with a burst of oil splashes, a fritter more than a foot long floated chubbyly.

The color is golden and the taste is crispy, and such things are paired with a bowl of preserved egg porridge with excellent taste, which is difficult to sell in Yuzhou City.

The most important thing is that others can't learn it, this fritters is good to say that if you try it a few times, some people may be able to imitate it, but this preserved egg is different, don't look at the lime and plant ash, but if there is no correct recipe, it will really be a bad duck egg in the mouth of the aunt.

is also because this preserved egg cannot be imitated, so it can't be big for the current old Wu family, otherwise it will lead to death.

Wu Zheng does not doubt the character of people in this era, but he will never take this risk with his family, it is true that he eats a piece of fresh food, but don't forget that there is also a saying called seeing wealth, so how big an appetite is to serve as big a bowl is the royal road to making a fortune.

In this era of the official monopoly of salt and iron, the method of making salt in the village will be handed over to the government sooner or later, and the only thing Wu Zheng can do is to choose a good time to get the greatest benefit in the village.

A basket of fried dough sticks is fried, and a pot of preserved egg porridge is just ready to come out of the pot.

On the table, the two little girls looked at the fritters on the table and began to saliva, not to mention that they had never eaten this fritters, and they didn't know if they tasted good or not, but they heard from their aunt's mouth that these rolling pin-like food was fried in oil, and the two little girls insisted that it must be delicious.

Because in this family, you may not be able to eat fried things once.

Looking at the two little girls who looked like starving ghosts reincarnated, the grandmother on the side was angry and funny, the family was around the table and drinking fried dough sticks and preserved egg porridge, but the grandmother seemed to see Wu Zheng's thoughts, so she asked, "Zheng'er, do you have anything on your mind?" ”

"No! Grandma, what's on your mind when your grandson is so good? ”

Grandma sighed and said, "It's good if you don't have anything on your mind, if you have one, just say it, the family doesn't need to see each other." ”

Wu Zheng nodded, took a sip of preserved egg porridge and said, "Grandma, if your grandson wants to find someone in this city, how should she find it?" ”

Grandma laughed, "It depends on what he does." ”

"She is in business, but she has not even seen a shadow of a person in the streets of Yuzhou City."

"So, the guy you're looking for may not have a shop in the market, is he a foot trader? In that case, you can go to the warehouse and ask, or ask in the tooth shop. However, according to the grandmother, if that person is important to the grandson, go to the people of the tooth shop to help, although it costs a few dollars, but there is no one in the tooth shop who does not know what happens every day in Yuzhou. ”
