Chapter 177: Agriculture is based on the earth
Since becoming a rich man, the food of the Jia family has never been bad, and the food with all the color and flavor can always make people's appetite move, after all, Jia Yi is only an eighteen-year-old young man, and it is the time when the amount of food is the largest, although he already has a daughter-in-law and a child......
Seeing the table full of delicacies, Rao is Jia Yi, who has been living a prosperous life for a long time, it is still difficult to change his little citizen's heart, and the first thought of sitting on the table is to shake off his cheeks and eat, but sometimes things always happen with a little bit of a small wave.
Just when Jia Yi was about to have a big meal, Xin Guangmao, who left to look for Ma Zhou, walked back again, due to the constraints of etiquette, he really couldn't come to the back house of the manor, so he could only ask Jia Yi to inform Jia Yi of their arrival.
Jia Yi, who had just picked up the chopsticks, glanced at the table full of food, and after letting out a sigh, he put down the chopsticks and said to the cook standing behind him: "I'm preparing a table, get it to the front yard, there are guests coming today." ”
Walking to the living room in the front yard, Xin Guangmao and Ma Zhou were sitting on chairs drinking water and chatting, perhaps Xin Guangmao poked Ma Zhou's most proud place, and Ma Zhou was talking eloquently at the moment.
"Brother Xin, don't dare to say anything else, I am definitely a master in making tea, how much boiling water boils, when to put green onions and ginger, how much to put it, this is all exquisite, it is impossible for people who have not conducted in-depth research to make good tea."
Xin Guangmao is a good man, even if people say that he can pluck the moon, he will just respond with a smile: "Good ability." In the face of Ma Zhou's words that he didn't know if it was boasting, Xin Guangmao still maintained his state of being a good man, and gave two compliments from time to time with a smile.
When Jia Yi appeared in the living room with his hands behind his back, the two people who were talking happily suddenly stood up hurriedly, bowed to Jia Yi at the same time, and called out, "Sir." ”
"Hmm, what are you talking about, you are talking so happily."
"The student just discussed the way of making tea with Brother Xin."
"Okay, discuss more, today I will use your way of making tea, the more detailed you discuss, the better." Although he is not very interested in this kind of soup similar to soup in his heart, it is best to boil tea eggs with this thing, and Jia Yi will definitely not take a sip of soup soup, but eating a tea egg is not within his resistance.
The speed of the cook is always so fast, Jia Yi just chatted with the two of them for a short time, and a small table of meals has been completed, and it is set up, just waiting for Jia Yi and others to go to eat.
"Let's talk about it at the dinner table." After Jia Yi finished speaking, he took the two of them to the small dining table, and said to the two of them with a smile: "You're welcome, just treat it as if it were your own home......
According to Jia Yi's understanding, the two of them had to be polite to themselves, but Xin Guangmao, who had eaten a lot of food at this level, did not move the chopsticks, but expressed his gratitude to Jia Yi first, but Ma Zhou was stunned, picked up the chopsticks at hand, and quickly began to feast on the dishes on the table, completely ignoring that Jia Yi was already hungry.
Seeing the food on the table disappear into Ma Zhou's mouth at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, Jia Yi and Xin Guangmao, who knew that if they didn't move the chopsticks again, they would starve each other, and they quickly picked up the chopsticks at hand and quickly picked them up.
Originally, they talked about things at the dinner table, but until there was no food left at the dinner table, none of the three of them said a word.
Glancing at Ma Zhou, who was leaning on the back of the chair with a round belly, Jia Yi smiled helplessly, he had thought that Ma Zhou, who would be appointed to an important position by Li Er in the near future, had never even eaten such a meal now.
"Don't blame sir, the student has heard for a long time that the food in Mr. Wang's house is delicious, and today I saw it really extraordinary, and there are many gaffes, and Mr. Wang Haihan Haihan."
Are you here, are you eating nonsense, Jia Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but he still showed a faint smile at Ma Zhou.
"It's good to have an appetite, take a break, and tell me how you make tea."
Jia Yi didn't have ink, and thousands of eggs were still in other yards, just waiting for this method of boiling tea to start boiling tea eggs, how could he not be in a hurry.
"This is a trivial matter, and the student will cook it for Mr."
After speaking, Ma Zhou asked for a lot of things from the family standing on the side, what onions, ginger and garlic, what tea, and well water.
The efficiency of Jiafu Jiading is not covered, and soon all these things that Ma Zhou needs are prepared in front of him, as the so-called Xingjia will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move, Ma Zhou took the lead in skillfully cutting the green onions, ginger and garlic into small dices on the board for later use, and then began to make tea.
Jia Yi watched Ma Zhou boil the tea several times, and then he put the green onions, ginger and garlic into the pot little by little.
Soon Ma Zhou's brewed tea could be drunk, and he immediately filled a bowl and put it in front of Jia Yi very respectfully.
Jia Yi, who was immersed in recalling Ma Zhou's tea making skills, coldly saw a teacup appear in front of him, and the tea soup that exuded a strange taste made Jia Yi really unable to afford the idea of drinking him in one gulp, and looked up to see Ma Zhou's expectant gaze, Jia Yi knew deeply that he had to die even if he didn't want to die today.
Grabbing the teacup on the table, smelling the strange smell coming out of the cup, and enduring the discomfort, Jia Yi directly put the mouth of the cup to his mouth, took a deep breath, and drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.
The strange taste suddenly filled Jia Yi's mouth, making his face constantly change with the taste in his mouth, one moment white, one moment green, one moment purple, in short, since drinking that cup of tea, Jia Yi's face has not been normal.
Swallowing the tea soup into his stomach with difficulty, Jia Yi's face showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and in the end, he could only praise the delicious "good tea" of this tea soup against his will.
The two words that came out of Jia Yi's innermost layer made the expectant expression on Ma Zhou's face suddenly turn into excitement, and without saying a word, he filled another bowl and prepared to hand it over to Jia Yi again.
Drink one bowl and want to vomit, drink two bowls and die, Jia Yi really didn't want to give his life to this weird tea soup, didn't wait for Ma Zhou to hand the tea to him, suddenly got up, and said to the two: "I still have something to do, I'm out of company, Guangmao, you can say hello to Ma Zhou, I'll go get busy first." ”
Before the words fell, Jia Yi's figure had already come to the door of the room, and then he walked out of the dining room without looking back, and walked briskly towards the courtyard where he was preparing to boil tea and eggs.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if the tea cooked by Ma Zhou is really unpalatable, it's not a long way, Jia Yi actually rested several times, as long as he walked fast, he would have an urge to vomit in his heart.
Soon Jia Yi came to the courtyard where the eggs were placed, and instructed the family to pick and choose the eggs again according to the method of selecting duck eggs in the morning, and then taught the method of boiling tea that he had just obtained from Ma Zhou.
Soon the cauldron in the courtyard was foggy, and after the water in the pot boiled, Jia Yi directly asked people to put all the eggs into the pot, and the firewood did not withdraw, and it burned vigorously.
Soon the eggs in the pot became cooked, and then the eggshell could not withstand the vigorous steaming, and soon cracked countless cracks, revealing the white egg white wrapped in the eggshell.
As the steaming continues, the aroma of the tea leaves and the unique taste of the ingredients, as well as the faint salty taste, penetrate into the eggs, and draw a lot of fine stripes on the originally white egg whites, not only does not give people the feeling of strange eggs, but the first thought of people to see this kind of egg is to try.
The tea eggs are simple to make, the operation time is short, just half an hour of effort, the first batch of tea eggs were presented in front of Jia Yi, carefully opened a tea egg, and then ate a bite, the taste is not bad, and there is no big difference from later generations.
"Put all these tea eggs into the Sifang restaurant for sale, and the price is set by the restaurant manager."
The success of tea eggs made Jia Yi also think of solving the problem of too many chickens and ducks, getting up early and disturbing people's dreams, and sent someone to call all his friends over after a while, and sent chickens and ducks to the villagers on their Zhuangzi, no money, just let them send all the eggs, ducks and eggs to the manor.
In this way, a long-term business is formed, although it cannot be turned too much, but it can lead a group of people on the road to prosperity.
Jia Yi's fief is an eight-hundred-mile river flat, and there is not a single family around, only Jia Yi, a lonely family, even if he wants to give chickens to his own farmers, there is no one to send.
After waiting for a long time, only Qin Huaiyu came over in person, and none of the rest came, and now their eyes are all fixed on Wanhualou, compared to the small profits of selling eggs, they pay more attention to the benefits that can be seen, not to mention that when watching the drama, they can also feel the kind of poignant love, who will have nothing to do when they are full, and they will waste time by running to Jia Yi.
"What did Brother Jia call me for?"
"It's nothing, it's just to give a little welfare to the farmers in your Zhuangzi, how many people are there in your Zhuangzi?"
"Hundreds of households, what kind of welfare."
Qin Huaiyu was a little curious that Jia Yi had started throwing out all the money he had, and it was still those farmers who had never even met him.
"A few chickens and ducks per household, no money, just sell me eggs and duck eggs when the time comes."
Now it was Qin Huaiyu's turn to be surprised again, he didn't know what Jia Yi was doing with so many eggs and duck eggs, but after thinking about it, no matter what, as long as it was for the dealer and he didn't want money, he had no reason not to accept it.
