Chapter Eighty-Three: Braised Eggs

Just arrived at the door, stood for a while, Ye Yuan came back, Liu Man'er greeted him, and told him about Steward Wu's coming to the house, Ye Yuan nodded, and followed Liu Man'er into the house.

"Steward Wu." Entering the house, Ye Yuan bowed to Steward Wu, and Steward Wu also hurriedly got up and saluted, "Brother Ye is back, I really disturbed today." ”

"It's okay." Putting down the things, Ye Yuan walked to the table and sat down, this Wu steward looked at Ye Yuan carefully, he didn't take a closer look last time, but this time he saw that this farmer's man was tall and had a cold face, which was extraordinary.

Liu Man'er entered the kitchen, naturally helped him wipe his face, and asked him to hand him the handkerchief and let him wipe his hands, at the same time, she lifted the kettle to pour water for him.

She did everything so naturally, and after Steward Wu on the side saw it, she couldn't help but say: "People say that poor couples mourn everything, but I think the two of them are enviable and beautiful." ”

Liu Man'er smiled when she heard this: "Although my family is poor, we work at sunrise and rest at sunset, although we don't have much money, we have food and clothing, which is very good." ”

"That's, that's." The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and then picked up the water cup and drank it by himself.

Ye Yuan is not a talkative person, the atmosphere calmed down suddenly, and Liu Man'er asked, "Is Steward Wu here to buy peanuts today?" Next time? If necessary, next time I'll do it and ask my father-in-law to send it to you. ”

"Ah, that couldn't be better." Steward Wu heard Liu Man'er say this, and said, "Next time it will definitely be needed, your peanuts are so delicious, and my masters will definitely not forget it for a while." ”

"That's fine." Ye Yuan nodded, "Then you take these today, and in ten days, I'll send you some more." ”

"Ten days is so long, I'll see in five days, I can send it over in five days." Wu Guan shortened the date a bit.

The two agreed in this way, and after Liu Man'er heard it, she couldn't help but ask: "Steward Wu, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I want to ask your master your surname, what does the family do?" ”

"You know the Yan family, right?" This Wu steward said secretly, "Our master is a branch of the Yan family. ”

"The Yan family?" Liu Man'er was slightly stunned, she had sold things a few times in this county, and she had also heard of the Yan family, half of the west city of this county was the Yan family's house, I heard that the Yan family was very powerful, not only the county town and the government city, but even the capital had their power.

"Sure enough, it's a big family." Liu Man'er nodded, and said, "Trouble the shopkeeper, you can help me ask, is there anyone in this Yan family who is willing to do our peanut business?" If so, I can sell it to you cheaper. ”

"This ......" Steward Wu frowned slightly, "I can't be the master of this, I'm just in charge of the procurement in the house, and I can't interfere with the outside business." ”

"Oh, if that's the case, forget it." Liu Man'er heard Steward Wu say this, so she stopped here, in fact, she knew that Steward Wu was asking her for favors, but she thought about it and decided to give up first.

Recently, I have been too busy, and now the house has not been built, even if a cooperation is reached, it will be very troublesome to just dry peanuts at that time, after all, during this time, there are too many people in and out of the house, and it is not a big deal.

Or build the house at home first, and then seek new development, after more than half a year, Liu Man'er feels that she is still a little useful, at least she can do handicrafts, there are still many ideas in her mind have not become reality, she will also make spiced peanuts, and so on this year to build the house, and then expand the scale, may not be able to make money.

Well, speaking of making money, the chickens at home during this time have been laying eggs on a large scale, and now there are more than 100 eggs piled up, Fang's went to the town to sell them once, and he didn't sell much, after all, there are too many people who sell eggs, if they are put in the county seat to sell, it is estimated that it will be the same, and the people around the county will go to the city to sell eggs.

The steward Wu in front of him was a good candidate to sell eggs, but Liu Man'er told him, he said that they had a special farm in the house, and fresh eggs would be delivered to the house every day, so Liu Man'er didn't say much.

As the days passed, these chickens produced more and more eggs, Fang's was already a little sad, she planned to put some to go to the restaurant where Ye Qing worked to sell, but the Tao shopkeeper also said that their restaurant has a special person to sell eggs, the price is ten eight cents, Liu Man'er doesn't want to owe the Tao shopkeeper a favor, and she thinks the price is too low.

Now that the family is busy building a house, there are a lot of things, and the Fang family wants to ask Ye Qing to come back to help, after all, her family's salary for these short-term workers is now 20 wen a day, which is 600 wen a month, and Ye Qing's salary is only 100 wen a month.

It's just that Ye Qing refuses to come back, Liu Man'er also went to the restaurant last time to deliver sachets, she thinks that now that Ye Qing is fighting with Miss Tao, he shouldn't want to come back.

Since she doesn't want to come back, she is not reluctant, if he comes back, is in a bad mood, and comes to quarrel with herself, it will be troublesome.

Ye Qing is old, he has his own opinions, what he says at home now is what he says, if Ye Qing comes back, he may be in opposition to himself every day.

Based on these two points, Liu Man'er persuaded the Fang family, "Mother, this young man is older, it's good for him to learn more things outside, if our family opens a shop in the future, just let him be the shopkeeper." ”

"That's all there is to it, and this kid won't come back." The Fang clan also had no choice but to take Ye Qing, sighed, and said, "I won't let him go after the New Year, I will help you at home, and then I will find him a home, how good it is for the family to be harmonious." ”

"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded, her house will be built when she comes back next year, and she will be able to do a lot of things by then, and it is also a good thing to let Ye Qing come back to help.

"It's just that our eggs are going to be sold to the shopkeeper Tao?" Fang Clan thought about this matter again.

"Don't sell it, don't worry, mother, just give me this egg." Liu Man'er is confident.

She suddenly remembered that since she could make spiced peanuts, why couldn't she make braised eggs? Many times, many things are often lacking an idea, and if she thinks of an idea and then does it, it may not be that she can't do it.

So these days, Liu Man'er went to Aunt Chunhua's house next door to buy peanuts to make spiced peanuts, and at the same time she was thinking about the recipe for making braised eggs.

In the previous life, it was also a snack, although this braised egg can't be elegant, but it tastes really good, and it's easier to make, but this material Liu Man'er is still uncertain, but she probably knows what spices to put in it:

The salt, ginger, onion and garlic needed for cooking, as well as the exclusive secret soybean oil here, this soybean oil is actually a thicker soy sauce, the taste is similar to soy sauce, plus tangerine peel, pepper, cinnamon, chili pepper, star anise and other spice seasonings, it should be fine.

Of course, it's easier said than done, and when you think of these recipes, you have to do it yourself.

Liu Man'er first went to the town to buy these materials, and when she came back, she set up a small stove and prepared to cook the eggs, anyway, she didn't worry that it would be unpalatable, even if it was not delicious, so many people in the family were not afraid of waste, and they would always eat it up.

Wash the eggs, put them in the pot, add water, and then put the spices in them, and when the water boils, it will smell fragrant in a short time.

After estimating that the eggs were cooked, Liu Man'er boiled a few more times, and the boiling water bubbled, washing the egg open a crack, and Liu Man'er put out the fire, and continued to cook the egg with the remaining sparks.

She doesn't have to worry about the rest, she just needs to wait for it to taste.

"Hey, Man'er, why are you doing in the kitchen? Hearing a sound from the kitchen, Fang came over to check.

"I'll cook a few eggs for everyone to eat, and she should go to the laundry." Liu Man'er said with a smile.

"Oh, boiled eggs." When Fang Shi talked about eggs, he said worriedly: "Alas, what can we do with so many eggs now......

"Don't worry, you'll know when my egg is ready." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, she didn't believe it, she released such a big move as braised eggs, and the people here would not come to buy it, of course, the premise is that she wants to succeed.

"Well, I smell it." Fang's nose snorted and looked at the small stove at the stove.

"You smell the fragrance, right, wait a while, when this egg is boiled, I'll bring it to you and taste it." Liu Man'er pushed Fang Shi out the door.

Fang Shi said, "Just after your reminder, I suddenly remembered that we can sell tea and eggs, and use an ox cart to pull them to the door of the post station, and someone must buy them." ”

"Ah, mother, you are so thoughtful." Liu Man'er praised: "But there should be a lot of egg sellers at the post station, and there are not many merchants passing by there in a day." ”

"You don't know, the last time I heard that someone was selling eggs on that road, a couple of merchants not only bought all the eggs of that person, but also gave a small ingot of silver."

"Mother, we don't have a store at home, if you push it there to sell, you will have to blow the wind there, now that the summer has passed, it will get colder and colder in the future."

In Liu Man'er's eyes, these silver coins rewarded by others are unreliable partial wealth, she thinks that she has no partial wealth in her life, or honestly step by step.

Besides, this side is quite far from the post station, and there is no ox cart, the most important thing is that she doesn't want to go, if she lets an elder of the Fang family go to blow the cold wind, it will be too unfilial, if this is the case, it is better to go to the town to sell it, but there are also many people who sell eggs in the town.

Of course, Liu Man'er believes that as soon as her braised eggs come out, who will compete, those tea eggs and salted eggs must be compared in minutes, ah, thinking of this braised egg makes people salivate, and I haven't eaten braised things for a long time.

"Don't worry, mother, this egg selling thing is on me, you just need to help me take care of my small workshop." Liu Man'er walked out with Fang Clan in her arms, and couldn't help but say:

"You don't have to worry about face, but you should do things on the matter, last time I checked a lot of sachets were not very good, I left it, you have to think about it, this sachet is three pennies, even if you can't bear to say, but don't get along with the money, what's more, you didn't check carefully, I have to check again, it's not a waste of time."
