Du Mei did not expect him to think so much, and when he saw that he agreed without hesitation, he happily took out twenty salted duck eggs and put them in the small basket on the table.

Du Mei accepted the payment of 500 yuan, and took the carriage to the Zuixian Building, where the small door at the corner of the kitchen, the vendors coming in and out were as endless as ever.

Still as usual, the fat butler came out with a smile and beckoned the young man to carry the duck eggs in.

"Is the shopkeeper Dong in the store today?" Du Mei asked the steward with a smile.

"The shopkeeper won't come so early, what's the matter with Miss Du? It's the same with me. "The steward has already been mentioned by the shopkeeper Dong, and he doesn't dare to despise Du Mei at all.

"I've got some food here, but I don't know if you can call the shots." Du Mei took out the blue coarse cloth bag and opened it to show him.

"Isn't this a duck egg?" The steward glanced at it and said a little disapprovingly.

"Well, but I'm salty." Seeing that he was so disdainful, Du Mei was not annoyed, and only said with a smile.

"Salted duck eggs?" The steward was confused.

"I'll give you a taste." Du Mei was about to take out one and hand it to him.

"No, no, you wait a while, I'll go and see if Shopkeeper Dong is here." The steward bowed apologetically, twisted his chubby body, and hurried back to the kitchen.

After a while, a young man came and invited Du Mei into the inner room. Du Meiliu looked at the carriage and followed the young man into the kitchen.

Du Mei walked and looked curiously, the back kitchen of the big restaurant was really amazing, there were more than a dozen of them in the eyes of the stove alone, stacks of plates were piled high, pots, shovels, knives and other iron utensils, all glowing with cold light.

Walking through the back kitchen, the man led Du Mei into a small room, where the shopkeeper and the steward were sitting, not knowing what they were talking about.

"Du Ruren." The shopkeeper Dong saluted respectfully, and the steward seemed to have just learned about this matter, so he hurriedly followed suit.

"Shopkeeper Dong, you are too polite." Du Mei knew that he knew it from Feng Xian, and before she could bow down, she gently supported his arms and stretched out her hand to help the steward.

"Du Ruren, don't torture me and other small people." Shopkeeper Dong asked Du Mei to sit down at the table.

The steward made tea himself, and Du Mei hurriedly took it.

"I'll look at your new duck eggs." The shopkeeper Dong was refreshing, and he was not false and polite, so he said directly.

"You taste it." Du Mei took out a duck egg and gave it to him.

Dong shopkeeper is well-informed, the kitchen of the drunken fairy building, from the birds, down to the beasts, swimming in the water, crawling on the ground, none of them can not be made into food, so a few duck eggs can't scare him.

He crushed the big head of the duck egg, slowly peeled out half of the duck egg, put it in his mouth and bit it from the middle, instantly, the mouth was full of fresh fragrance blooming, the egg white was fine, the sand of the egg yolk, confluent with the egg butter, chewing very satisfying.

"Hmm...... Delicious! The taste buds of the shopkeeper Dong were activated, and while he was eating, he stared at the half of the duck egg in his hand, and he didn't care about the duck egg oil flowing into his hand.

Seeing the expression of the shopkeeper Dong, the steward couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Drunken Xianlou has all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and there are countless delicacies, they have long been numb, and now, it is amazing to let the shopkeeper Dong eat this kind of admiration.

"Do you want it?" Dumay asked tentatively.

"Yes! How many you want! Shopkeeper Dong wiped the oil on his hand with a towel and said without hesitation.

"I'm a little expensive......" Du Mei whispered.

"Expensive? How much is expensive? Shopkeeper Dong turned his head to look at her, waiting for her to quote money.

"Five Wen one." Du Mei saw the hesitation of the old ginger, so she didn't dare to increase the price, and only quoted the same price as the old ginger.

"That's a high price? Is it the price for the spice shop? Shopkeeper Dong originally held his breath, thinking that it was a high price, but after listening to her offer, he suddenly laughed.

"Isn't it high?" Du Mei was so laughed by him that he lost his confidence.

"If you eat this duck egg by yourself, of course it is good to eat it whole, but if it is a dish, it must make people look appetizing, and it must show the most essential part, so it must be cut and arranged.

According to this size, five can be cut into a plate, and the cost price is only twenty-five Wen, even if I double the price, fifty Wen will eat a dish in Zuixianlou, is it expensive? Very cheap! And it's so delicious! Shopkeeper Dong shook his head with a smile and said.

"This ......" Du Mei was a little confused.

"In this way, I will bid seven wen for one, and I only have one request, which is the same as fresh duck eggs, to ensure my first-hand supply." The shopkeeper Dong is very optimistic about salted duck eggs, there is no such thing on the market, and it will be sought after.

"That's for sure. I still have some double yellow salted duck eggs, do you want them? Du Mei didn't expect him to say this, so he was naturally very happy in his heart, and strongly recommended double yolk eggs to him.

"The most delicious salted egg is the egg yolk, if it is two egg yolks, this is already rare, plus it is delicious, even if the price doubles, it is understandable." Shopkeeper Dong nodded approvingly.

"Is that all you brought with you today?" The steward looked at the duck eggs in the blue coarse cloth.

"There are twenty-eight of them, why don't you try them out first?" Du Mei took out the duck eggs one by one.

"Me, can't you believe me? This salted duck egg will inevitably become the latest dish of the season, but it is not easy to keep when cooked like today, and you can't send it to me every day. Shopkeeper Dong said a little tangled.

"This is easy to do, my duck eggs are pickled in jars, I will send you the jars together, and when the duck eggs are sold out, it will be good to return my jars." Du Mei said without thinking.

"This ...... You have a secret recipe for pickling, if you give me the jar, I'm afraid it's going to leak the secret. Shopkeeper Dong said a little worriedly.

"I'm not afraid, the fresh eggs are my own, and the pickling recipe is my own tinkering, others can see it, what can I do, without my duck eggs, it won't work." Du Mei is very fearless.

"Since that's the case, then so be it, tomorrow I will first ask for an ordinary jar, and after it is sold, I will put on the double yellow salted eggs, and the price will still rise." Shopkeeper Dong said confidently.

"Okay, I'm going to Qinghe County tomorrow, and I'll bring it then, but it's going to be early." Du Mei said.

"It's okay, I'll just wait for you." The steward didn't wait for the shopkeeper Dong to speak, and said with great insight.

"Since you made it, you might as well give it an elegant name, it can't be called salted duck eggs." Shopkeeper Dong said with a smile.

"I'm not good at that, let me think about it...... As...... It's called Qingyuzi? Dumelio thought for a moment and said.

"Qing Yuzi, well, nice name. If it's double yellow, it's time to call it Qingyu Twins. The shopkeeper Dong read lightly, stroked his palm and praised it again and again.

Du Mei took the money for the duck eggs, and negotiated the price of the salted duck eggs, which was much better than she expected. Du Mei was in a very good mood, happily packed up the basket, and went back to Dujiagou with the stones.

Du Mei didn't mention how to report the good news to her mother and sisters when she went home, but said that Ye Dan had traveled all night, and when she arrived in Jiangling City, the sky was white.

At this time, it was still early, the city gate was still closed, in front of the lively city gate in the past, there was not even a bowl of hot soup to sell, Ye Dan had to tie the horse's reins to the tree, and sat on the side, he didn't close his eyes all night, he was sleepy and tired at this time, and he couldn't help but doze off.

The autumn was cool and dewy, and when he was woken up by the crowd waiting in line to enter the city, he realized that he had a little nasal congestion and headache. Seeing that the gates of the city were wide open, he did not care about these things, and hurriedly led his horse into the city. The fast horse went straight to Luomei Xuan, and rushed to the Yanwang Mansion with the Qingtian Stone on his hand.

By the time he arrived at King Yan's Mansion, Chu Lin had already gone to the court. Ye Dan didn't dare to leave, he didn't know whether Chu Lin would go back to the Yanwang Mansion or go directly to the Beijing camp after the end of the court, so he had to wait in the gatehouse. Hungry and cold, Ye Dan's face looked unusually pale and gray.

The housekeeper of the Yan Palace, the Ruyi girl, came out of the inner hall, and today the palace was going to give the newly made autumn coat jacket for the Yan Wang, she was not worried about the servants, and when she walked to the gatehouse, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ye Dan with an ugly face.

"Shopkeeper Ye, what's wrong with you?" Ruyi remembers him, because Luo Meixuan earns a lot of silver every month, and the income of other industries is not worth it.

"I'm fine, Sister Ruyi, when will King Yan come back?" Ye Dan saw that it was her, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"It's not good, I've been very busy lately." Ruyi pinched the handkerchief and said.

"How is this good, it's too late......" Ye Dan was in a hurry, he had an old disease, his body was weak, and he was newly infected with the wind and cold, and he fainted all of a sudden.

"Oops......" Ruyi was startled, and grabbed Ye Dan, so that he didn't fall directly, and the servant next to him hugged him quickly.

"Quickly send him to the guest room, let the kitchen send a bowl of rice soup, and then call the doctor to come and take a look at him!" Ruyi calmly commanded the crowd.

Ye Dan was half-asleep and half-awake, only to feel that many people were coming and leaving noisily, he drank the warm rice soup, drank the bitter medicinal juice, sweated a lot, and then completely sank into a dark sleep.

When he woke up, the sky outside the window had already darkened, and it was broken, and he was beating a drum in his heart, and he turned over and remembered.

"Are you awake?" Ruyi heard the movement and walked over from the table to look at him.

"Where is this?" Ye Dan realized that this was not Luo Meixuan, and he was in a daze just now.

"You fainted in the morning, so you had to sleep in your room." Ruyi reached out and pressed it against his forehead.

"I'm fine." Ye Dan said in a panic. He felt a pair of soft little hands, like a spring breeze, blowing his heart lake and causing strange ripples.

"Well, the heat is subsiding now. Don't you have to wait for the prince, he is coming back. Ruyi looked out the window, but there was a fog outside, and he couldn't see clearly.

"Thank you, Sister Ruyi." Ye Dan stood up and saluted.

"What are you so anxious about looking for the prince?" Ruyi asked lightly.

"This ......" Ye Dan was silent, helping to protect Du Mei was a matter of the prince's private faction, and he didn't seem to be able to say it casually.

"It's inconvenient to say, so let's not say it. I asked the kitchen to make you porridge, and I asked someone to take a look, but it was okay. He looked embarrassed, and turned and walked out of the room, and the footsteps went farther and farther.

Ye Dan's whole body was weak, and when he saw Ruyi leaving, he softened his body, and sweated weakly like rain.

After a while, a maidservant girl brought a porridge side dish, Ye Dan slowly ate a bowl of chicken porridge, his strength gradually recovered, and the complexion on his face became ruddy. I didn't come again.

Chu Lin had just returned after the unitary, obviously having eaten outside.

Ye Dan couldn't wait to see him, and told Du Mei about it in the study. Present the small pieces of paper and Qingtian stone to Chu Lin for a look.

"I heard Ruyi say, you are sick and you are still waiting for me here for a day, you go back to Meixuan first, and I will ask Ji'an to send it to you tomorrow afternoon." Chu Lin raised his eyes and looked at Ye Dan and said.

"I'm afraid it's too late tomorrow afternoon, I have to ask someone to carve the seal." Ye Dan stood respectfully and lowered his head and said.
