Chapter 27: Double Yolk Eggs
Xiao Qinghe secretly music, vegetables that have absorbed the vitality water, not only will the taste become better, but the nutrients will also increase, and the human body has feelings for things that are beneficial to itself, and what is manifested is the body's desire for it.
This is just the vegetables that have been soaked for a day and a night, and she is a little curious, how good will the vegetables in the vegetable garden that have been watered for a few days taste good?
It's really exciting!
Xiao Qinghe said: "I have dug the ear roots and wild onions in the mountains and fields, I have not applied fertilizer, I have not applied medicine, everything is pure natural, and the taste is naturally better." This time I dug a little more, if grandma likes to eat, you can buy a few more, now in this weather, the roots of the folded ears will not wilt for two or three days. ”
As she spoke, Lin Jing had already put out the folded ear root and wild onions, and the old woman directly picked four handfuls, and took four handfuls of wild onions, and bought some other dishes as well, and finally saw the eggs in the basket and asked, "This duck egg is also yours?" ”
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Old man, this is an egg, not a duck egg." ”
"Eggs? Impossible, impossible, how can there be such a big egg. ”
The old woman shook her head, she didn't believe Lin Jing's words at all, she had lived most of her life, could it be that eggs and duck eggs could not be distinguished? The eggs in that basket, looking at the head, are obviously duck eggs, how can there be such a big egg?
Lin Fang really didn't pay attention to the eggs Lin Jing brought, looked at it, and said in surprise: "If I didn't know that your family only has a few chickens, I would have thought it was duck eggs." Old man, Lin Jing didn't lie to you, her family only raised chickens, not ducks, this is an egg, but I don't know why the eggs laid by chickens are so big? ”
Xiao Qinghe said: "Aunt Fang, I go to the field every day to catch insects to feed the chickens, people can gain weight when they eat meat, and it is normal for chickens to eat meat and lay bigger eggs." ”
Lin Fang laughed and said, "This doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with that." ”
The vegetable buyer next to him heard that Xiao Qinghe's eggs were as big as duck eggs, and a few people immediately gathered around.
An old man dressed in a Mao suit, with gray hair and a lot of aura, came over to take a look, nodded and said, "Well, this head, if you don't say it, you really think it's a duck egg." How much does it cost? ”
"Eight ......"
Lin Jing was about to say eight cents a piece, but was pinched by Xiao Qinghe, but she didn't say anything, but she heard her daughter say: "My eggs are one and a half cents." ”
"How much? A dime five? Other eggs are only sold for eight cents. ”
As soon as I heard that the egg was going to cost a dime and a half, some people were startled, this is doubled, and it is not possible to be a fool when others?
"Lotus! Don't talk nonsense! ”
Lin Jing hurriedly drank her daughter, the eggs on the market were sold for eight cents, how could she open her mouth and ask someone for a dime?
However, Xiao Qinghe glanced at her soothingly, and continued: "Although my eggs are more expensive than other people's, there is a reason why they are expensive, first of all, this head is much bigger than other people's. ”
"It's bigger than other people's homes, but it's not twice as big! It's a duck egg, and it's only a dime, and if you sell it for a dime, I'll want it all. ”
The old woman felt that the egg was about the same size as a duck egg, and that she could still accept it if she bought it for the price of a duck egg, but it was five cents more expensive than a duck egg, and she thought she was cheating on people.
Xiao Qinghe smiled faintly: "Grandma has heard of the words of seven-point pearl and eight-point treasure?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"It means that if the weight of a pearl is less than seven points, it can only be counted as an ordinary pearl, but once the weight reaches eight points, then it can be called a pearl."
"In addition to pearls, ginseng also has such a saying, seven taels of ginseng, eight taels of treasures, the weight of ginseng within seven taels, can only be regarded as ordinary ginseng, but once it reaches eight taels, it is a rare treasure. It can be seen that this weight is an important indicator for the value of an item. ”
The old woman understood what Xiao Qinghe wanted to express, and she said: "What you said is also reasonable, but the truth you said can only be applied to things that are originally worth a lot, whether it is pearls or ginseng, it takes a long time to grow up, which determines that every penny they weigh is very difficult." But what can be the big value of an egg? ”
The people around him who gathered because of Xiao Qinghe's egg and a dime also nodded.
"Yes, little girl, don't say that your egg is only a little bigger than the ordinary, even if you are half the size, it is still an egg, unless it is twice as big, otherwise which bag will cost twice as much money to buy? Is it bad to buy two regular eggs? ”
Lin Jing hurriedly said: "Old man, her children don't understand this, my eggs, if you want to buy them, eight points ......"
"Mom!" Xiao Qinghe stopped his mother's unspoken words and said, "Mom, our eggs are different from other people's, it's worth the price!" ”
"Don't make a fuss!"
Xiao Qinghe puffed out her cheeks depressedly, so she was still young and couldn't do anything.
"Mom, haven't you noticed that our eggs are very delicious? Have you ever noticed that the yolk of other people's eggs is yellow, while the yolk of our eggs is orange? The egg whites are also very viscous, and most importantly, our eggs, each of which is a double yolk egg! ”
The old gentleman in the tunic shook his head and smiled: "Each one is a double yolk egg? I'm afraid it's impossible. ”
He has lived for most of his life, and he has never really seen a double yolk egg, only heard people talk about it two or three times, which shows the probability of this double yolk egg, which is really small, how can it be possible to gather a total of more than a dozen eggs, and each of them is a double yolk egg?
If they were all double yolk eggs, he felt that he would be willing to buy them if they didn't say one or five cents, but two cents.
In Fengming Township, there is a folk legend that only the eggs laid by hens after eating Ganoderma lucidum grass will be double yolk eggs, which is a symbol of luck, and you can have good luck after eating double yolk eggs. Just because of this auspicious meaning, he is willing to give two more cents, plus this head, he thinks it is more fair.
However, double yolk eggs are really very rare, and you may not be able to meet one in a few years, and some people have never seen one in their lives. So he didn't believe what Xiao Qinghe said that every egg in the house was a double yolk egg.
Lin Jing thought about it for a while, but said in shock: "It's true, the eggs that my mother makes every day are double yolk eggs recently." ”
"Really?"
Everyone still didn't believe it, they just thought that their mother and daughter were singing double reeds, in order to fool them into buying eggs at a high price.
Xiao Qinghe smiled faintly: "If you don't believe it, you can pick a random egg and try it." ”
Xiao Qinghe had long expected such a show, so he deliberately brought a bowl out.
The old woman was eager to try: "I'll come." ”
