Chapter 22 Tea Eggs

Sima Zhe felt that he was dreaming, and he originally planned to fight a single for the rest of his life, maybe one day after the battle, his life would be over. He is similar to all the soldiers, one day at a time.

Who knows, this hopeless life suddenly ended, and he had a wife. His supervisor, Dr. Fan, found a wife for him.

This girl named Ximen Caiyun is soft, virtuous, and understanding. Take care of Sima Zhe comfortably. All of a sudden, his life was sunny and full of hope.

This is all thanks to Dr. Fan. His heart was filled with gratitude. He asked Dr. Fan, "What can I do for adults?"

Fan Li replied with a smile: "You don't need to do anything, just tell the truth when you report to King Wu every day." ”

Sima Zhe said, "I know what Master Fan means. Don't worry, Sima Zhe is not the kind of person who has no conscience. ”

Under the bewitchment of Wu Zixu, King Wu also had doubts about Gou Jian's monarchs and ministers, who were originally inseparable rivals, why did they suddenly submit so honestly? It's a bit out of the ordinary.

However, Sima Zhe entered the palace every day to report back, and there was no valuable information at all. Gou Jian Junchen honestly raises horses every day. There is not a single word out of line, there is no out-of-character action.

There's really no reason to kill these three people. In fact, King Wu didn't want to kill the king of Yue anymore, and he felt that this made him more uncomfortable than killing Gou Jian. That's enough.

Of course, there are still doubts.

Sima Zhe's heart was full of gratitude to the king of Yue, but he couldn't repay it. He asked his men to take over the work of raising horses, feed them with grass and fodder, and clean up horse manure. Of course, when I was working, there were people standing guard and sentry, and I couldn't let outsiders know about it.

Without these heavy tasks, King Yue's situation was much better all of a sudden.

But Sima Zhe was not happy. Because he is only a lowest-level officer, so a little salary is only enough for his own pocket money, and now he suddenly has a wife, rents a house, and has a home, and the expenses are large. His little salary is hard to support a family.

He married a wife with the support of Dr. Fan, but this is only the beginning of the matter, and he can't always rely on others to fund his life, right? If you have a child in the future, how will you feed it?

Sima Zhe was worried.

After breakfast, the work was done, and there was some free time. Fan Li said to Sima Zhe: "Master Sima, there is something to discuss with you. ”

Sima Zhe wished he could do something for Fan Li, and said, "Doctor Fan, just say something." ”

Fan Li said: "I want to invite you and the brothers to have a meal today, I don't know if I can enjoy it." ”

Sima Zhe was stunned, this was unexpected. "Doctor Fan, how embarrassing is this?"

Fan Li said: "I will take it as if you agreed." Today, we won't go to the restaurant, I'll make my own tea eggs for you to eat. ”

"Tea eggs?" Sima Zhe had never heard of this kind of food, and thought it was very fresh.

Fan Li took out a silver horn and said, "Please go to the street to buy two hundred eggs, and buy a little ingredients, tea, star anise, pepper, old sauce, etc." ”

Two hundred eggs, enough for a dozen people, buy some wine, buy some cakes.

When the soldiers heard that Dr. Fan invited them to dinner, they were very excited, and when they heard that they were eating tea eggs, they felt even more novel, and they couldn't imagine what tea eggs tasted like.

There was not much time, the eggs and ingredients were bought, Fan Li washed the eggs, and began to make them.

In Fan Li's previous life, his family liked to eat tea eggs, and his mother was a master of making tea eggs. This kind of snack, which was very common in later generations, was not even heard of in Fan Li's time.

The process of making tea eggs is very simple. However, in order to really make high-level tea eggs, the compatibility of ingredients is still very particular. Fortunately, Fan Li got the true inheritance of his mother in his previous life, and he could easily make delicious tea eggs.

The process of making it is of course confidential.

Do you like it? You'll have to verify it to find out.

The scent came out.

A few soldiers ran in: "Oops, it's so fragrant! ”

Soon, a pot of tea eggs was ready. Becoming a soldier is already impatient.

The meal was served, the eggs were eaten and the wine was drunk, and the soldiers were smiling happily, they had never eaten such a delicious thing in their lives.

The two hundred tea eggs were almost all eaten, and everyone was still happy.

Fan Li asked Sima Zhe: "My lord, do you think the tea eggs are delicious?" ”

Sima Zhe said: "It's delicious, it's so delicious." ”

Fan Li asked everyone again: "Do you think it's delicious?" ”

"Delicious. Never eaten anything like this. ”

More than a dozen people said that it was delicious, that is, this food would be recognized by the public.

Fan Li said, "Master Sima, you go and buy two hundred eggs." ”

Sima Zhe said: "Doctor Fan, everyone is full, no need to do it anymore." ”

Fan Li said: "This time it's not about eating, it's about selling." ”

"Sell?" Sima Zhe was a little confused.

A soldier said, "Don't ask, just do what Dr. Fan said, go buy eggs." ”

The eggs were bought, and soon, two hundred tea eggs were made again. Fan Li put the eggs into two baskets and said to Sima Zhe: "You take the tea eggs back and let your daughter-in-law try to sell them, how much is an ordinary egg?" ”

Sima Zhe said: "One coin buys five,"

Fan Li said: "You asked Ximen Caiyun to sell a silk coin." ”

"Can it be sold for such a high price?"

"Try it, if it doesn't work, the price will be adjusted."

Sima Zhe carried the egg and left suspiciously.

Less than two hours. Sima Zhe ran back in a hurry, and when he entered the stone house, he shouted: "Fa, fa." ”

Fan Li greeted him with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

Sima Zhe said: "I got rich, two hundred tea eggs were sold out quickly, and there were still many people who wanted to buy them, but there were none." That's five times the profit. So much money, two hundred silk coins, for you. ”

Fan Li said: "The money will give you the capital, you call Caiyun tomorrow, I will teach her to make tea and eggs to sell, won't your life be better?" ”

Sima Zhe said movingly: "Doctor Fan, you are really my nobleman." ”

The next day, Sima Zhe came with his daughter-in-law Ximen Caiyun, Fan Li asked Sima Zhe to take everyone out, and then closed the door and taught Caiyun to make tea eggs.

How many eggs, how much water, how much tea, how many ingredients to put each, this is very simple, a meal, Caiyun learned.

Fan Li said: "Girl, do you know who I am? ”

Caiyun knelt down: "You are the general, Caiyun kowtows to you." ”

Fan Li stretched out his hand to pull up Caiyun: "Girl, in order to protect our king, let you marry to Wu in this way, are you wronged?" ”

Caiyun said: "Sima people are very good, Caiyun is not aggrieved. ”

Fan Li said: "Caiyun said this, I feel much more comfortable, General Ben has a few words to say to you." First, you must not reveal your true identity. Otherwise, it may lead to death. Second, in the future, you will sell tea eggs and live a small life. I'll teach you something else in the future, and in a year's time, you can buy a house of your own in Gusu City." Third, you have to control Sima and let him do what is good for our king. Can you do these points? ”

Caiyun said: "What the adults say is for Caiyun's good, the concubine must listen to you and do these points well." ”

Later, Fan Li taught Caiyun to make spiced pork head meat. Unprocessed pork head meat is difficult to eat and very cheap, but after processing, it immediately becomes a hot item. The price has multiplied several times.

Sima Zhe's life got better all of a sudden, and a year later, he bought a house in Gusu City and brought his parents who lived in the countryside. And Sima Zhe has also become a close follower of the king of Yue. The situation of the Yue kings and ministers was thoroughly improved
