At first, Mao heard from his relatives who worked as helpers in Zhenyulou that the most popular roast chicken in the town was made by a little girl surnamed Yu in Dongshan Village, but he didn't believe it much. An eight- or nine-year-old girl has been sick and crooked for many years, how can she cook any dishes?!

But when the unsalable chickens of the Zhou family were recommended to Zhenyulou by the Yu family, not only all the chickens were sold out, but a large group of chickens were caught in the spring, saying that they wanted to expand the breeding capacity!

Due to the bad year, if her ducks can't be sold, they will be smashed in their hands. Mao also held a skeptical attitude and came to try it. Unexpectedly, the youngest daughter of the Yu family was really talented in cooking, and she actually came up with the novel and best-selling dish of "Osmanthus Duck" within a few days.

It is said that this osmanthus duck not only tastes excellent, but also has many benefits when eaten. I heard that regular food can clear heat, detoxify, nourish yin, nourish the lungs, moisturize dryness, and nourish the skin!

Mao knows that his own man, unlike the Zhou brothers, has a talent for business, and has no strengths except for the skill of raising ducks. The eldest son went to school, and all the expenses of the family depended on raising ducks. In the past, the sales of ducks in the town were less than half of that of chickens, and they could barely make ends meet. That's why she cares about everything.

Now, with the relationship between this dish and the Yu family, no matter how many ducks they raise, they won't worry about not being able to sell them! Mao is grateful to the Yu family for their kindness and care to her from the bottom of her heart. This basket of duck eggs is also a thank you gift from her heart.

After sending Mao away, Liu was worried about a basket of duck eggs. Duck eggs don't taste as good as eggs, and no matter how you eat them, they will have a fishy smell. It seems that the only way to do this is to marinate it with coarse salt and add some food to the table when the farm is busy!

"Mother, I'll deal with these duck eggs!" Yu Xiaocao was not worried at all. In her previous life, preserved egg lean pork porridge and preserved egg tofu were her favorite dishes. There are also red heart salted eggs, with egg yolks flowing and oily, and the fragrance is overflowing...... I can't think about it, my saliva is going to flow out.

Just do it! The next day, Yu Xiaocao takes pepper, cinnamon, fennel, ginger, refined salt, boils with the same amount of water for 20 minutes, pours it into a porcelain jar, soaks the washed duck eggs in, and seals the mouth of the altar.

When Liu saw it, he said that she was just pickling a salted duck egg, so a waste of seasoning, it shouldn't be. The traditional method of pickling salted duck eggs is made of red clay and paste, and coarse salt is added to marinate.

Yu Xiaocao smiled: "Mother, I got spiced salted duck eggs here." This duck egg has a strong aroma and is slightly salty. It's guaranteed to taste great, so you can wait to taste it! ”

"Isn't there a basket of duck eggs? Why are you half pickled? Liu asked as he helped.

Xiaocao thought for a while, and replied, "Mother, can we find lime here?" And Huang Dan powder......"

"Huang Dan powder? Isn't that what Taoist priests use for alchemy? Are you going to use the remaining duck eggs for alchemy? No, I didn't hear that alchemy requires duck eggs......" Liu was puzzled.

Hearing Liu's words, Xiaocao was relieved. It seems that lime, yellow dan powder or something, should be found.

Sure enough, Liu continued: "Lime, it's not difficult to get! Now when houses are built in the town, many homes will plaster the walls with lime. Your little uncle knows some mason work, so you can send a letter to him to get you some. As for Huangdan powder, you should be able to buy it at the pharmacy. ”

Lime is used to build houses! Didn't Wednesday build a factory building at the dock oversight? Go to him! There seems to be a small pharmacy on the dock, and I don't know if there is any yellow dan powder for sale. Yu Xiaocao was anxious and prepared to go to the dock.

After breakfast, Xiaocao drove the donkey cart with Xiaolian and embarked on the journey to the dock. As soon as I got out of the village, I saw Yu Heizi's fat figure.

Originally, Yu Heizi was a scourge in Dongshan Village, recruiting cats and teasing dogs all day long, relying on his own size, bullying the children of Dongshan Village. Last time, I was scared by the little mending stone, but I changed my face and quit all my bad habits.

"Brother Kuroko, go to the docks? Come up and give you a ride! "For the changed Yu Heizi, Xiaocao has no bad feelings. After all, if you are a relative, you can't pretend not to see it because you hate other people's mothers!

Yu Heizi dodged Xiaocao's gaze, and said with a smile: "Well, go to the dock to see if there is any work to do...... It's okay, it's time for me to lose my fat, I'd better walk! ”

Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "Weight loss is not a moment, our donkey cart runs fast, and we have a better chance of getting a job earlier!" Stop grinding, come up quickly! ”

Yu Heizi no longer shirked, and awkwardly climbed into the donkey cart. Xiao Ash is still quite powerful, and it doesn't affect the speed because of the extra fat sunspot. Heizi praised sincerely and said, "Xiaocao, you donkey is well raised!" When I bought it, I was so thin that I only had a handful of bones left, and I was so sick that I was dying. They all said that you wasted your money, but I didn't expect to be raised quite strong by you. ”

"It's not serious, it's just that there are no good veterinarians in town. You also know that I have been learning medical skills from Grandpa You for a few days, and I am still sure that I can heal an animal! "The grass clouds are light and the wind is light.

Xiaolian glanced at Kuroko's figure and asked curiously, "Brother Kuroko, why did you think of going to the dock to find a job?" Did grandma let you go? ”

Kuroko scratched his face embarrassedly and said, "No! I'm fourteen years old at the beginning of spring, my mother said...... After two years, I will almost be able to say daughter-in-law. Hey...... My mother said that the family's money was reserved for my uncle to study, and my grandmother might not be willing to give much in the future. So, I thought, I'm so good, why don't I make my own money! ”

"Ambitious! Brother Kuroko, I'm optimistic about you! Yu Xiaocao nodded appreciatively. In this era, fifteen or sixteen-year-olds abound. Zhang's person, except for her old son is a treasure, everyone else is grass. She can really do things that don't cost a dowry!

Heizi looked at her with a smile and said, "Actually, Xiaocao, you also give me a lot of encouragement!" You're five or six years younger than me, and you know how to go to the dock to sell braised vegetables to make money. I'm almost old enough to marry a daughter-in-law, and it's so unseemly to wait at home for food and drink! If you are idle any longer, it will be a problem to get a daughter-in-law......"

"Giggle...... Brother Kuroko, it turns out that you want to marry a daughter-in-law! Is there a phase in it? Xiaolian smiled like a silver bell and teased him playfully.

Kuroko's swarthy face appeared red, and he stammered, "How can there be...... I heard from the old people at the entrance of the village that the second-rate son in the next village is idle all day long, and he can't marry a daughter-in-law when he is forty years old, so he ...... Just...... Don't talk nonsense! ”

Yu Xiaocao relieved him and said, "Brother Heizi is right! As long as you are doing it, you still can't marry a daughter-in-law? Brother Kuroko, do you have any plans? ”

"I didn't ...... Nothing to do! Just look at the docks, whether there is a need for stevedores. I heard that in a good time, stevedores can get fifty or sixty dollars a day! Kuroko said with a yearning face.

Yu Xiaocao looked at his fat with some worry, and said, "Stevedore, that's all hard work!" Can you carry more than 100 pounds of goods? ”

Kuroko was silent for a moment, and said, "If you can't carry it, you have to carry it, I can ask for less wages...... When the workout comes out, it's good! ”

Just chatting all the way, and soon arrived at the dock. At this time, there were not many ships on the dock, and Foreman Sun and his workers were idle.

Seeing the two sisters, Foreman Sun came over and greeted, "Xiaocao, I haven't seen you come to the dock for a long time." Why are you free today? ”

"Uncle Sun, I came to the dock yesterday! You recognize the wrong person, I'm Xiaolian. This is the grass next to it! Xiaolian smiled and walked to Grandpa Liu's noodle stall, lit a small tandoor, and put the braised vegetables on top to heat up.

Foreman Sun looked at Xiaolian, then at Xiaocao, touched the back of his head, and said, "You two sisters look too similar, it's really hard to tell for a while." Lao Liu, come to a bowl of multigrain noodles. Xiaolian, get me some pig's head meat, it's fatter! ”

Xiaocao asked strangely, "Uncle Sun, why did you eat multigrain noodles?" Have you eaten enough white noodles? ”

Foreman Sun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Xiaocao, don't make fun of your Uncle Sun." I can't afford to eat this multigrain noodles, let alone white noodles! ”

"What's wrong? Business is not good? Yu Xiaocao glanced at a big boat on the shore, and the stevedores were working in full swing, and asked thoughtfully.

Foreman Sun slapped the table hard and said loudly: "Liuzi, it's really not a thing!" Almost all the work on the dock! The able-bodied workers also threw themselves on him. I'm not going to be left with a way out! ”

"Wouldn't it? Brother Liuzi doesn't look like a person who eats alone? Xiaocao frowned and looked at the tall figure on the shore.

Foreman Sun smiled bitterly and said, "Blame me too!" In the past, he relied on his own way, and he didn't squeeze on the six sons. For a while, because of good business, I was a little flustered, and I promoted a deputy, and I didn't take care of things very much. Who knew that I was blind, and the deputy changed the daily salary to the monthly payment. After a month, I rolled up everyone's wages and ran away! Those six sons took the opportunity to put everyone away, and with someone covering him, it was already difficult for me to turn over. Alas...... Now, it's good to be able to eat! ”

Yu Xiaocao saw that not far from the wharf, someone was measuring the land, so he said calmly: "Uncle Sun, this is only temporary. When the wharf is expanded into a large port, more labor will be required. When the time comes, you have a chance! However, I think it's better to cooperate for a win-win situation than vicious competition......"

"Oh? What is a win-win cooperation method? Tell me about it? A loud and clear voice came from behind him.

Yu Xiaocao turned her head and looked, and she didn't know when the sixth brother had come behind her. The tall and burly figure, healthy bronzed skin, and the scar on his face did not detract from his manhood in the slightest. It's really hormonal!
