Salted duck eggs are a delicacy for all ages, but it takes some time to pickle and cannot be eaten immediately, so Jia Yi felt that not only to make salted duck eggs, but also to get some tea eggs to sell.

Tea eggs are good to say, now the pickled salted duck eggs are ready, Jia Yi began to command the family to start to choose duck eggs, pickled duck eggs need fresh duck eggs, if the time is too long, or the skin is damaged and deteriorated duck eggs, these duck eggs can not be used to marinate salted duck eggs, therefore, the selection of duck eggs has become a very important work.

Instructed someone to take ten catties of water, and then get ten catties of salt from the salt factory, put the salt into the water, and stir slowly until the salt and water are fully fused, and the reagent to check whether the duck eggs are good or bad is available.

From the housekeepers to the basket in front of them to pick up a few duck eggs into the salt water, wait for a while, sink horizontally to the bottom of the water is fresh, can be used to pickle duck eggs, the big head up and the small head down is placed for a little longer, although it can not be used to develop duck eggs, but it can still be eaten, as for the one that is completely floating on the water, it is spoiled and can no longer be eaten, just pick it up and throw it away.

This method of choosing duck eggs makes all the family's eyes bright, they never thought that the selection of duck eggs can do this, Jia made a good start, and the rest was all handed over to the family, although this selection of duck eggs is a job, but this novel work is to make all the family members happy.

Soon, thousands of duck eggs were selected, and those that could be used for pickling were all put into the tank, waiting for Jia Yi's further instructions, which could not be used to pickle but could still be eaten, after asking Jia Yi, it became a dish on the table of the family, as for those that were broken, the family did not feel distressed, and all dug a pit in the garden according to Jia Yi's instructions, and buried it, I believe that with the moisture of these duck eggs, the flowers and plants in the garden will be able to grow very vigorously.

"Young master, the duck eggs have been selected, see if you can marinate them now." After all the duck eggs were selected, a little housekeeper came directly to Jia Yi's side and asked for instructions on the next move.

"Okay, now boil the water, the more the better, and go get more salt."

Jia Yi's words are always very incomprehensible, but as the family members of the Jia family, they have long been accustomed to the surprise of the eldest young master around them, so they didn't ask, they turned their heads and went to prepare according to Jia Yi's instructions.

Jia Yi found a small basin, put the hot water into the small basin, and then began to pour the salt into the small basin, and also instructed Jia Er to stir on the side, when the salt fell into the water, but not dissolved in the water, but sank to the bottom of the water, Jia Yi stopped putting salt, and poured the salt water without salt directly into a clean tank that was washed.

"Look at it, you must let the salt water from the water pour into the tank, the extra salt can not enter the tank, and the salt that does not meet the requirements can not enter the tank."

When the master is good at this, he only needs to demonstrate on the side, and the rest is to sit on the chair and watch the family members keep busy, Jia Yi never felt that he could do things that a group of people could do alone, so he only started many things, and left the rest to others to do, which can not only greatly improve efficiency, but also free himself from heavy labor, after all, he needs to bear too many things now, if he doesn't have a good body, maybe he will collapse one day.

The emperor of feudal society gave him the right to sit back and enjoy his success, although Jia Yi expressed great disgust with the use of gun power to oppress people, he was still very willing to use power to command people.

Soon fifty vats were filled with clear salt water, the execution of people in this era is very high, Jia Yi said that if you can't let a salt particle appear in the tank, then there will be no salt in the tank, even if the work is slow, it is absolutely necessary to ensure that this is perfectly executed.

After checking all the vats and making sure that there were no problems, Jia Yi nodded with satisfaction and began to let people clean the duck eggs, no need to go too far, just clean the surface of the duck eggs, and after the water in the vat becomes room temperature, Jia Yi asked people to put all these duck eggs into the vat, one hundred and ten duck eggs quickly filled a large vat, let Jia Er get some silk cloth, the round slate was placed at the mouth of the vat, and the silk cloth pasted the round slate again, and then the wax oil blocked, In the end, the yellow mud is finished on the top layer of paste.

Salted duck eggs are not a precious thing, Jia Yi really can't afford to keep them properly, so he casually found an open yard in the manor, and moved all the fifty vats there, after all, there is another thing that needs to be paid attention to when pickling duck eggs, that is, to keep it ventilated, I believe that any house, without the premise of air inlet and outlet equipment, it is impossible to let the air in the house circulate too much.

The duck eggs are finished, and if you want to eat them, you have to wait a month, and then the next thing is to deal with those eggs.

Jia Yi doesn't want to make too much trouble for the production of eggs, anyway, there is already tea at this time, although people at this time always like to make tea foam when drinking tea, chewing while eating, but there is still no big problem in wanting to get some tea leaves with whole leaves.

At this time, the tea ceremony is just beginning, people's understanding of tea is only the leaves that can be used to flush water and drink, now the world is predetermined, people's eyes have just shifted from the battlefield to life, this kind of enjoyment of life that needs to be accumulated and precipitated is just beginning, in leisure time can someone follow the tea brewing process of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, tasting tea is already regarded as a vassal elegance, can they also be expected to drink tea and drink flowers?

Speaking of which, Jia Yi has never seen anyone drinking tea in the homes of many bigwigs, but although he has not seen it, Jia Yi has heard of some, people drink tea at this time, in order to make the taste of tea more delicious, put onions, ginger and garlic into the tea are considered light, and some people scoop a spoonful of lard into it, and add a little salt to drink the delicious, if you put a piece of pork bone in it will become stewed bone broth, and the tea has a relationship of half a dime.

However, this way of drinking tea can be used to stew an egg to eat, isn't that how tea eggs come from?

Jia Yi really didn't know much about the most popular way to configure tea and soup nowadays, and just as he was about to ask someone, Xin Guangmao, a student who basically didn't teach much, came to his home.

"The student has seen the sir."

"Oh, Mitsumao, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, but I heard that Mr. is back here, so I'm here to say hello."

This Xin Guangmao is really real, now he is already a real official, and his reputation has begun to be heard of by Li Er, I believe that it will not be long before he can be promoted, just like this, people will still think about Jia Yi, this gentleman, and come to visit from time to time, which makes Jia Yi express his appreciation for Xin Guangmao at the same time, but also began to despise his fox friends in his heart, when there is money to be made, one by one around him like a dog's leg, the way to make money is said, and Jia Yi is directly regarded as a passerby.

"Okay, respect the teacher, good morality, continue to maintain, by the way, do you know sencha?"

Hearing Jia Yi's inquiry, Xin Guangmao was stunned, he used to be a poor boy who was bitter, but now although he has become a showman, his pocket is still much cleaner than his face, and he is really lazy to do sencha.

"Students are ashamed, no."

"Forget it, no, it won't be, it just so happens that you are here today, I see that you don't have a serious livelihood all day long, and you always rely on the court's relief to scholars, I believe that life will not be too easy, it just so happens that I am about to produce a new delicacy here, how about I give you a dry share?"

Xin Guangmao learned all the mathematical knowledge from elementary school to high school from Jia Yi, just on the way to arithmetic, there will not be many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can excel, which makes him full of strong feelings about Jia Yi, so as long as there is nothing to do, he will come to Jia Yi to sit down, of course, it is very rare to meet Jia Yi when he is at home.

Now Jia Yi even wants to give him a share of the money-making business, which makes the honest Xin Guangmao's face full of excitement and gratitude.

"The teacher is very kind, and the student cannot repay the ......"

Jia Yi knew that what he was going to say later was basically words full of gratitude, but to him it was basically nonsense without nutrition, so he simply waved his hand to interrupt and said: "Don't say those foreign words, you can take what I gave you." ”

"Thank you."

This has been upgraded to a level, from the previous husband to the current teacher, although the income of tea eggs is not much, but for Xin Guangmao, a poor student, it is already the first pot of gold in his life.

"This percent of the shares is not taken for nothing, yours will find me someone who can make tea, I will be useful."

"This is easy to do, Ma Zhou is a master of the tea ceremony."

"Ma Zhou?"

No matter what angle he looks at, Jia Yi doesn't think that this Ma Zhou has a delicate side, but in line with the principle that people can't look good, Jia Yi still nodded and asked Xin Guangmao to invite Ma Zhou over.

Xin Guangmao turned around and left as soon as possible and went to find Ma Zhou.

It didn't take long for the sun to rise in the middle of the sky, and noon had arrived, and the cooks were always able to prepare the meal at the most appropriate time, and just when Jia Yi felt a little hungry, a housekeeper came to him and told him that the meal was ready.
