Chapter Twenty-Nine: Pickled Two Eggs
The family is planting rice, raising ducks, growing gourds and mushrooms, everyone is busy, and Yukimi is still the most idle, so she aims at the duck eggs at home.
The duck eggs naturally belong to the duck commander Qi Niang, and Qi Niang's original plan was to hatch some ducklings out.
The ducks raised in the rice fields, the duck eggs are also a good one, Yukimi doesn't like to eat scrambled duck eggs, think about the buttery pickled duck eggs in his previous life, Yukimi's saliva is about to flow down.
Just do it, first go to find Qi Niang, "If you make fresh and delicious food, the credit is all Qi Niang's." ”
Qi Niang was already sensible, and seeing that she was pitiful and interesting, although she was reluctant, she still contributed all the armor, but she wanted to help with her, and Xue Jian naturally agreed.
Xue Jian and Qi Niang called Zhou Ma and Sanni, with previous experience, they knew that "Xue Jian's exit must be delicious", and after Si Niang and Du Ma heard about it, they also rushed over to help.
Poor families occasionally pick up some wild duck eggs or something, and they will pickle them, most of them will be pickled silly salty, and they are good to eat with rice in winter.
I heard that it was a pickled egg, and everyone's interest waned, but in line with the instinctive dependence on Yukimi, I still got busy.
Xue saw that everyone was a little disapproving, and didn't say anything, just smiled slyly, and then first selected a hundred fresh duck eggs, and asked Sanni to carefully brush the fresh duck eggs with a small brush with soft bristles dipped in vinegar, and then wipe them dry one by one, and dry them for later use.
Zhou's mother boiled a pot of slightly thick salted water, waited for it to cool down naturally and thoroughly, put in three or four to star anise and peppercorns, then added white wine and stirred well, and then poured salted boiled water into two large jars, and the duck eggs were gently immersed in salted water. The brine is over the eggs.
Yukimi's job is nothing more than sealing the mouth of the altar, and then clapping his hands and saying, "After forty days, it will be cooked and ready to eat."
Qi Niang's job is to write down the date of each altar sealed, although there is only one altar now, but Xue Jian said that there will be a lot of pickled eggs after there are more duck eggs, so this is a glorious and great task.
Qi Niang said helplessly: "Yes, Lord Xue Jian Butler!" ”
Hearing her scream indecently, Xue Jian still smiled proudly, and deliberately said with a satisfied face: "Little ghost, do a good job!" There will be bread, there will be everything. ”
I thought I was very humorous, but seeing that everyone didn't understand, Qi Niang asked with a blank face: "What is bread?" ”
"Ahem." Yukimi was almost choked by his own words, and after coughing a few times, he said embarrassedly: "A kind of food, Yukimi has only heard of it, but he can't do it." ”
"It's okay." Siniang came over to comfort her, "You can already cook a lot of food." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yukimi secretly rolled her eyes and secretly warned herself that she must control her mouth in the future.
It is not enough to have pickled duck eggs, choose another hundred duck eggs, and then let Zhou's mother burn them into ashes with winter grass, tea shells, mulberry trees, etc., add soda ash, fine stone, tea, salt, five-spice powder and other condiments, mix well, and then add water to mix into a puree.
Siniang and others put the selected fresh eggs into the mud one by one, so that the eggs are evenly glued to the mud, and then the eggs that are sticky to the mud are coated with a layer of gluten shell or sawdust.
Zhou's mother said: "I know this method, and in the past, some people used salt, lime and tea leaves to marinate duck eggs. ”
Sanni hurriedly said: "I also know this, it's called 'Gray Fuck Out'!" ”
Qi Niang smiled lightly: "'Gray Fuck Out'? What a terrible name! It doesn't sound like it's edible. ”
"But," Zhou's mother shook her head and smiled: "Xuejian's method is always surprising, it is much more complicated than the salted eggs and gray eggs we used to make, and the taste is ......."
Siniang and Sanni said together: "It must be delicious!" ”
The rest is to install the altar. Put the disposed eggs into the altar one by one, seal the mouth of the altar with mud, and put it into the house, Yukimi specially asked Du Ma to tell Du Hai that the house must be re-lit and put the jar on the kang to maintain the temperature.
It is worth noting that after three days of installing the altar, the mouth of the altar will be opened to dissipate heat and then sealed. After seven days, the eggs in the altar are finally removed and dried in the sun.
So, a month later, it was done.
The fourth lady in the family has recently become obsessed with weaving all kinds of small baskets with wicker, and Bai Yitian was also amazed after seeing it.
Yukimi stared at the small baskets, her eyes rolling.
At night, Zhou Bo asked Xue Jian: "What are you thinking again?" ”
Yukimi naturally didn't admit it: "Yukimi doesn't." ”
"Dishonest!" Zhou Bo just twisted her nose and didn't follow up.
Xue saw that his face burned, and he said, "It's just that it looks good and exquisite, and I thought about what it would be for, but I didn't think about it." ”
Zhou Bo couldn't help laughing: "Such a small basket is naturally a girl's home decoration of flowers and grass." ”
Xue glanced at him: "Who stipulates that the small basket can only contain flowers and grass?" ”
"Naturally, I stipulate it." Zhou Bo pretended to be a big man.
"Go to --!" Yukimi let out a long sound.
Seeing the thousands of expressions on her face, Zhou Bo was in a good mood, but he snorted in his nose.
Sure enough, this timid little girl immediately helped him massage his legs routinely, while pretending to be docile.
"Da Lang, everything you say is right, and what is wrong is naturally right!" Yukimi muttered to herself.
Zhou Bo pressed her hand and said with a smile: "You have already massaged it this afternoon, so save it now." Knowing that everything you say is right, that's it! ”
"Yes, sir!" Xue saw the fake model and got up and brushed it, and the etiquette was thoughtful.
Zhou Bo also did a good job, and said seriously: "Then why don't you sleep with your grandfather?" ”
Hearing him say ambiguously, suddenly, Xue saw that his face was burning like fire, and said indignantly: "You! But after scolding, she immediately became weak. She is a girl in the room, and she sleeps with her master every day, even if she doesn't do anything, in the eyes of outsiders, it is actually the same.
"No rules!" Zhou Bo shook his head and said.
Xue saw that he didn't talk back to him again, and there were all kinds of slanders in his heart, but he still came over obediently, Zhou Bo's legs were not good, Xue saw that he helped him into the inner room, and naturally served Young Master Zhou to change his clothes.
Seeing Xue's pouting pink mouth, it wasn't unintentional, but she was too small, so let's wait.
The last time Bai Yitian went home, he told his father about the Zhou family's rice field raising ducks, and his father didn't have a good dinner at that time, so he went back to the study, and the next day he excitedly called him over, and repeatedly told him to pay attention to this matter.
Bai Yitian called Bu over again, and asked him to tell Bai Jianran in front of the fact that the meeting was being held in Pingshan Village, Bai Zhixian was not very interested in the fox fairy, but when he heard that the ducks of the Zhou family really only ate weeds and did not eat seedlings, Bai Jianran couldn't help but get excited.
If this law does work, can it be rolled out throughout the county? Is it possible to bring the lives of the people of the county to a higher level? However, he was still more sensible, on the one hand, he told his son to pay close attention to this matter, and on the other hand, he was determined to go over and check it out in person after the autumn.
And that old friend of his own, just living in the Zhou family quietly? This old guy must be thinking about Zhou Jiaxue's cooking skills, and he can't miss it!
This Tianwang carpenter sent a lot of sawdust, Xue saw that the mushrooms in the cave have been a month, thanks to the obedient child Erhu tied a simple wooden raft, three or four days to go over to water once, but fortunately the Daqing River is not far away, otherwise just irrigation this item, you have to exhaust people to death.
told Zhou Bo that he, the king of the mountain, was going to collect mushrooms, and Zhou Bo had heard Erhu say that mushrooms grew well, but when he saw Xue's tail facing the sky, he couldn't help but stab her first.
Ignoring Zhou Bo's cynicism, Yukimi and the others took the sawdust and rented a boat to go to the cave again, and sure enough, mushrooms had already grown, picked up the big ripe ones, and returned home with four large baskets.
First use a small pot to send one pot to Carpenter Wang's family, and then send two pots to the grandparents of the Zhou family, and then dry the rest.
A few days later, the dried mushrooms were put into a small basket woven by Siniang, and around the small basket, they were decorated with various colors of mountain flowers.
Bai Yitian shook off goosebumps, looked at Xue Jian with vigilant eyes and said: "Xiaosheng, I am penniless, and I have the appearance of Pan An, I don't know if this girl wants to rob sex?" ”
Taking a sip of tea, Xu Cong'an spit on the table, Zhou Bo didn't say anything, just glanced at Xue Jian.
Xue Jian said with a fake smile: "Brother Yitian's flower and moon appearance, if I rob him, it will definitely cause the anger of the heavens and people, where can Xue Jian bear it?" ”
She patted Xu Cong'an on the back to help him calm down, and continued: "I just want to trouble Brother Yitian to help find a good family in the county seat to find a good family in this small basket with such a beautiful shape, and of course the delicious and attractive mushrooms in it." ”
Bai Yitian shuddered, didn't he just put the mushrooms in a delicate small basket and let him use his connections to sell them at a high price in the county seat, saying it so ambiguously that it made people's scalps tingle.
Xu Cong'an and Zhou Bo were also frozen goosebumps by the cold jokes of these two, these two people are people who can't talk well, which can be described as half a catty.
Such a trivial matter, I didn't say anything about going back to the county to do it, and I still had the eldest son of Lao Bai go out in person? It's just a matter of his fingers.
The next day, without saying a word, she came back with a silver of one or two coins, and Erniang knew that it was stained with Bai Yitian's light.
In this way, over the course of a month, I picked mushrooms a few more times one after another, and barely managed to make up the meat money for the Self-Defense Forces this month.
"Self-Defense Forces? What do you mean? Bai Yitian was puzzled when he heard it.
Listening to Erniang talk about the Self-Defense Forces with a little bitterness, he couldn't help but light up his eyes, his family's silence is a lot of words and many words, this Zhou Bo is the real silence, but when he does things, people always have to admire his scheming.
