Chapter 308: Taste

Wait a minute. Du Mei turned around and went to get the chopsticks and pickled peppers with aged vinegar.

The duck egg in front of her was really what she saw on her phone in her dream, Du Mei was very happy in her heart, as for whether the taste was the same as described on the phone, she could only wait for her to taste it bravely.

Du Mei carefully packed the four-petal pine eggs in a snow-white dish, drizzled with aged vinegar, and sprinkled a circle of red pickled peppers with sour water. Looking at the plate in front of him, it was simply the picture in the mobile phone that reappeared as it was, Du Mei clapped his hands and was very satisfied.

"Plum, don't eat it! I'll taste it first. Xu saw Du Mei pick up a piece and hurriedly stopped it.

She was born in Zhong Mingding's food house, when she was a teenager, she had never eaten any delicious food? But the way to eat duck eggs, don't say that she hasn't tasted it, even if she sees it, she hasn't seen it, she doesn't know how Meizi can make such a very unreliable thing, but if she must try it, she would rather let herself go than let her daughter take risks.

Du Mei did not put down the chopsticks, but smiled and sent a piece of pine flower egg directly into his mouth.

"You ......" Xu Shi pounced on the chopsticks, it was too late.

Du Mei's mouth, for a time the taste is mixed, the sour aroma of aged vinegar, the spicy crispiness of pickled pepper, wrapped in the soft elasticity of the egg white and the glutinous egg yolk, after fully chewing, it stimulates an indescribable fragrance, the fragrance between the lips and teeth is diffuse, which makes people unbearable to swallow, the delicate and syrup egg yolk center part melts on the tip of the tongue, under a sip, the aftertaste is endless!

"How?" The three little eyes asked in unison.

"Taste...... Great! Du Mei smiled and blinked.

"I'll eat a piece!" Du Gui snatched the chopsticks, picked up a piece, and couldn't wait to throw it into his mouth.

There were still two pieces left in the plate, Du Tao ate one, and Du Ying and Xu shared the other.

Du Guiba smacked his mouth twice, as if he hadn't eaten it, and looked at the other eggs on the table with big black eyes.

"Let's save these for porridge in the evening, and give the stones a taste." The duck eggs were cold, and Du Mei didn't dare to let her sisters eat too much, so she pinched Du Gui's small chin with a smile.

"Okay." Du Gui glanced at Xu and sat down honestly.

"Plum, plum." As soon as Du Mei wanted to wash the small plate and chopsticks, she heard someone outside the hospital call her.

"I'll take a look." At this moment, it was raining drizzly outside, and Du Gui went down the corridor to open the door.

He took off his cloak and hung it under the porch, shook off the little rain on his coat and stepped into the kitchen.

"Yesterday...... Hey, what did you eat? He didn't finish his serious sentence, but twitched his nose and sniffed.

"It's really a gluttonous cat's nose!" Du Mei laughed and scolded him.

"What's good to eat? So fragrant! Give me a little bit of it, too. The two stunned hippies said with a smile.

"Don't you dare to eat it for a while!" Du Gui wrinkled his little nose and sneered at him.

"I've eaten all locusts, what else don't you dare!" The second stunned man sat down at the table with a big grin, just waiting for Du Mei to bring him food.

"Come on, for a bite to eat, in front of children, I don't want to be cheeky, it's really rare!" Du Mei shook her head helplessly, picked up a pine egg and smashed it on the table.

The eggshell was peeled off little by little, and this egg was different from the one just now, the whole body was crystal clear golden yellow, and the pine flowers were smaller, as if snowflakes were all over it.

"Wow!" The three little ones and the two stunned exclaimed together. The two stunned people have never seen it, and the three small ones are impressed by this beautiful egg.

Du Mei was also surprised that the same duck egg had changed into a different color, and she wanted to see what it looked like inside. When cut with a knife, the egg white is all golden, and the yolk is mainly golden, with a little brown in between.

The vinegar in the small dish was still there, Du Mei added another pickled pepper, and when the four-petal egg slices were pushed in front of the second stunned man, the strange fragrance was so fragrant that he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

"Is this really edible?" The second stunned man hesitated. It is said that the more fragrant and beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are, such as the red mushrooms in the Wushan Mountain, which will eat bad people!

"You just came in and you smelled that?" Du Mei laughed at him for pretending to be cowardly.

"Yes, but it's too ...... It's weird. The second stunned blinked.

"Do you eat or not? This egg is ten cents, and I won't have such a good opportunity for you to eat it in the future. Seeing that he didn't dare to eat, Du Mei made a gesture to leave.

"What! Ten Wen? Eat it and become an immortal! The two stunned snatched the plate, and didn't have time to take the chopsticks, so he directly took a piece with his hand and put it in his mouth.

"Wow, wow, wow, it's delicious!" The two stunned eyes lit up and shouted three times, and the wind and clouds stuffed the remaining three pieces into their mouths.

"You're not here to eat, are you?" After a while, Du Mei saw that he had eaten all the pickled pepper slices and aged vinegar on the plate, and asked him.

"Oh, I almost forgot. In the past few days, many villagers have come to ask about the price of collecting grain, you and the eldest girl are not here, Brother Niu and Brother Hei are not sure of their ideas, let me ask you to go to the shop tomorrow anyway. The second stunned scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.

"At this time, the taxes of all villages and families have not been paid, and some people are rushing to sell grain, and it seems that this year's harvest is good." Du Mei nodded.

"But no, those people say that thanks to you, there is hope for this year's autumn grain, and everyone is willing to sell the grain to our shop." The second stunned man said happily, looking honorable.

"I'm going to Jiangling City tomorrow to deliver duck eggs, and I'll go to the shop to find them in the morning." After the Double Ninth Festival, Du Mei has not sent salted duck eggs for a long time, and the old ginger head's spice shop has little sales, but it is nothing, and the drunken fairy building is probably out of stock.

"Hmm." The second stunned nodded, and then he remembered something important, and hurriedly said: "Yesterday, Uncle Mao Da from Chenqian Village came to the shop to buy rice bran, and he said that your duck seedlings have hatched, let me bring a message, asking you to prepare the duck nest first, and he will send it in a day or two." ”

"Oh, I see." Du Mei nodded, counting the days, this nest of 500 duck seedlings is not about to come out of the shell.

"I heard from my mother, you built three big houses for Du Shu in a few days?" The second stunned man said with some envy.

"You do it well, don't think about cheating, spending money indiscriminately, and you can renovate the house here next year!" Du Mei said with a serious face. She has always been generous to people, and the wages she gives are considered high, and there is extra money for the New Year's holidays.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I haven't stolen it at all, my salary is pinched by my mother, and I don't have to spend it if I want to!" The two were stunned and shouted aggrieved.

"My sister said you, it must be right, you have to do it well, otherwise, the lazy man will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law!" Du Gui jumped out, and said like a little adult, where does she know how to marry, but she is just learning from the village aunts.

"You little goblin!" The second child was stunned by what she said, so he jumped up and tickled her.

There was a lot of laughter in the second house for a while, the rain outside the door gradually stopped, the dark sky slowly revealed the light, and the leaves of the old elm tree were dripping with water, with a faint halo.

While the family was having dinner, Xu pointed to the plate containing Songhua eggs and asked Du Mei: "You said to Erzi at noon that this egg will be sold for one of the ten lines, right?" ”

"It's not a bargain, I just want to sell it for ten cents." Du Mei took a sip of sweet potato porridge and said lightly.

"Who can afford it when it's so expensive?" Xu frowned.

"Mother, our family has cooperated with Zuixianlou more than once, fresh duck eggs Sanwen, salted duck eggs Liuwen, double yellow salted eggs Bawen, and this Songhua egg, without Shiwen, I don't sell it." Du Mei said confidently.

"Why is that?" Xu asked puzzled.

"At the beginning, the salted duck eggs were pickled by the fat servant and his mother, which has long been available in their hometown, and if they sell well in the future, others will also sell them. And this Songhua egg, I dare to guarantee that there is no such rarity in the entire Dashun Dynasty, such a rare thing, and so delicious, isn't it worth ten yuan? Dume is analytical.

"Ming'er, you can take some to the Drunken Immortal Building to try." Xu was moved by what she said.

"I also have to bring the pickled peppers from my mother, if I don't have this freshness, the taste will definitely be worse." Du Mei rolled a piece of pine egg in the vinegar sauce, wrapped it in bright red pickled pepper slices, stuffed the whole piece into his mouth, and chewed it with great satisfaction.

The autumn rain came and went quickly, and the weather was very dry, and by the time Du Mei went out on the second day, the mud floor was already half dry, and yesterday's wind and rain knocked off more than half of the yellow leaves of the big elm tree outside the courtyard, and the dead leaves were scattered everywhere. The villagers in Dujiagou got up early, and the men had breakfast, carrying hoes and shovels to work in the fields.

It rained heavily yesterday, and Niu Er didn't open a shop, so he opened the door early this morning to welcome customers. When Du Mei came, there had just been a wave of old customers buying japonica rice in the shop, and Niu Er was lying behind the counter to keep accounts.

"Brother Niu!" Du Mei stretched out his head to look, only to see that he was crookedly writing big words on the ledger.

"Oh, you're here!" Niu Er put down his pen and said in surprise.

"I heard the second stunned say, there are villagers who want to sell grain?" Du Mei looked in the shop, it was clean, the japonica rice, white noodles and cereals were well arranged, she didn't come often, and the two men took good care of the place.

"Yes, yes, there are many people who have come to inquire these days, and I have been thinking about it with the black loach all night, and I don't know how much to decide, so I have to let you call the shots." Niu Er made a cup of tea and handed it to Du Mei.

"Now the taxes in the countryside have not been paid, this year because of the disaster relief, the grain of the imperial court is scattered out like a tide, and there is still a famine in the south, so calculated, how to pay this year's taxes, how much to pay has not yet been decided, we have to wait to collect grain, and the price has to go with the market, we must not say the price to death, the price is high, we suffer a loss, the price is low, and the villagers refuse to sell." Du Mei took a sip of tea and thought about it.

"That's the reason, but someone has to be on the tip of the horns, and there must be a clear price, what can I say?" Niu Er had a bitter face. He is used to doing things straightforwardly, and it is really difficult for him to be tactful.
