Chapter Twenty-Six: Phoenix Eggs, a delicacy I've never heard of

Lin Tao, who figured it out, almost didn't laugh to death.

This big sister Yu is too good at making up for her own brain.

"Then I'll thank the eldest sister! Don't say it, my family is from Gongjiazhai. I'll pay it next to your house, and I'll pay you back the money after selling it for a while. But I'm not amused by your fish scales, I really want to buy them. ”

As he spoke, he asked Li Er to take out the grass in the back basket and spread it on the ground, and then put the skewered eggs on the grass one by one.

After the stall was set, the official of the street division came to collect the money, and Lin Tao handed over the money, and it was over.

The Sub-district Division is a department established by the government to govern the sub-district city. Responsible for hygiene, order, and collecting money.

But fortunately, as long as the money is paid according to the rules, it will not drive away the small vendors and make the chickens and dogs restless.

As soon as the morning dawned, the number of people in the market began to increase.

Whenever someone passed by, Li Si was busy soliciting business.

"Sister, this is a fresh mountain egg! It's only a string of five articles, buy a string! ”

Li Sizui is sweet, but he just looked at it when he passed by, and no one bought it.

"Mother, is the stall too biased? Otherwise, let's sell it at the door! ”

Lin Taoyi pulled the soles of his shoes away for Li Er, and Li Er shrugged his shoulders and scratched his back in pain.

If the kind-hearted Sister Yu next door heard this, she would inevitably feel that they had borrowed money and deliberately found an excuse to run away.

Looking at the market entrance, more and more people walked to the market with baskets on their backs and baskets on their backs.

Lin Tao tied up her straw sandals and patted the soil on her buttocks.

Sister Yu pulled her aside: "Big sister, maybe you don't know, this mountain egg has never been easy to sell." ”

"No one knows when the things on the mountain will come down. When people buy it back, they don't know if it's egg liquid or a hairy chick. Therefore, if you want to buy eggs, you will go directly to the buyer to raise eggs. ”

"I know, if you don't listen to the words, don't take it to heart."

At this time, someone came to buy fish, and Sister Yu also enthusiastically recommended mountain eggs to others.

However, when people took a look, they bought the fish and left.

It can be seen that the eldest sister and the old couple are really warm-hearted.

"You two take care of the stall, I'll go out for a while."

Handing over the stall to the two sons, Lin Tao took a mountain egg and left.

After going around the market, I went to the place where eggs were sold, inquired around, and went back with a pot rented with an egg.

Sending his two sons to pick up firewood, Lin Tao asked Sister Yu for some drinking water and set up a pot to boil water.

Li Er's face was worried, and he pulled Li Si to the side.

"Fourth, is our mother mad because she can't sell eggs?" As he spoke, he pointed: "Look, I cooked it myself." ”

"Hey! What can I do? Cook it! Fortunately, this sharing of money is not ours. If it doesn't work anymore, we'll eat it ourselves. It can't be sold anyway. Li Si looked helpless.

Lin Tao picked up the fire and boiled it for about twenty minutes, then extinguished the fire underneath.

Someone next door came to pick fish, and Sister Yu replaced the old man who had been busy for a long time to kill fish. Lin Tao picked an egg and cracked open a small shell and handed it to the old man.

"Brother taste this phoenix egg."

As soon as the three words of phoenix egg came out, not only the eldest sister and the old couple were curious, but the eyes of the man waiting for the fish in front of their stall lit up.

The old man was curious, and he was reluctant to take it with a guarded face, but the eldest sister Yu went over and whispered a few words, and the old man took it reluctantly.

Lin Tao said: "This phoenix egg, the freshest is the juice in the egg." The elder brother tasted it first, and when the eldest sister killed the fish, she also sat down to eat one. It's a big supplement! ”

The old man took a sip with curiosity in his eyes, and his expression lit up.

"Beautiful! So beautiful! ”

"What's the American law?" The man waiting for the fish asked.

"It's like chicken soup, it's like goose soup, no, no, no, it's like fish soup. Anyway, it's beautiful. It was a magical taste he had never tasted before.

Lin Tao was not idle, she peeled one by herself and sucked the juice into her mouth.

Then learn from the storyteller in the teahouse and tell the story.

This story is Lin Tao's previous life, found on the Internet, the legend of hairy eggs.

It's just that the Qianlong Emperor in it was replaced by Lin Tao with a wandering immortal.

After listening to the story, the rejection on the face of the old man disappeared, and he peeled the eggshell neatly, saw a few traces of blue-green mesh on the egg yolk, and bit off half of it with a suspicious look.

"Hmm~! Fragrant! ”

A vague incense that exhausted the taste in his mouth. Then I couldn't wait to eat the remaining half into my mouth.

Finally, he added the corners of his mouth, with a look of unfinished business.

Waiting for the fish to lean over and ask, "Sister, are you really a phoenix egg?" ”

Lin Tao smiled: "The name was taken by the immortals, not by me." But it's delicious. ”

To tell you the truth, live beads are really a delicacy that many people find difficult to accept!

Those who can accept it, once they eat it, will never forget it. If you can't accept it, it's estimated that it's hard to swallow.

"Come, come, give me one. The gods are all praising the food, I want to taste it. ”

Li Si was so excited that he came up and spread his hands and compared five fingers: "Five cents and five ......"

"Five cents a piece." Lin Tao ignored Li Si's demented gaze, and said, "Master, do you want to taste one?" ”

can afford to eat a fish for fifteen yuan, and five yuan can be called a problem for him?

The man handed over five cents, Lin Tao picked an egg and cracked it open, looked at it to make sure it was a live bead before handing it over.

It's an open business, and it can't be bad for long-haired chicks.

After all, hairy eggs are a little difficult for ordinary people to accept visually.

The hard-won business of opening the door can't be ruined in the hands of Mao Dan.

The man sucked a mouthful of the juice inside, and his expression was simply copied and pasted from the old man.

"Really, it's delicious!" Peel off the shell and take a bite into your mouth.

After chewing for a long time, I didn't forget to praise: "Absolutely!" It's amazing! The eggs bring out the flavor of chicken. Tender and glutinous. ”

"Come on, come on, pick two more for me, I'll buy them back, and give my old man a taste."

As he spoke, he handed over ten cents directly.

Lin Tao glanced at the two stupid children next to him, and kicked the fourth person closest to him on the buttocks.

"Why are you standing stupid? Collect the money! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Li Si, who took the money, smiled like a flower.

sighed in my heart: His mother is too powerful! People sell eggs for a penny, and when it comes to his mother's hard-boiled eggs, it will multiply fivefold at once! Five times as much!!

Lin Tao picked one and knocked open a small shell, and saw that it was not a live bead, but a hairy egg, so he replaced it with another one.

The live beads are embryos in which the eggs hatch for about 12 days, and the chicks inside have heads, wings, and feet. Because the developing blastocyst is in the fluoroscopic state, it is shaped like a moving pearl, and it is named "living bead".

Li Shizhen also recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that chicken embryo eggs have the function of treating headaches and migraines. If the weak can eat it regularly, it has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach.

Later, it was also confirmed that live beads are rich in amino acids and a variety of biological hormones, especially embryonic fluid, which is rich in active ecological nutrients and is easily absorbed by the human body.

Regular consumption can significantly improve a variety of symptoms caused by qi and blood deficiency, enhance the body's immunity and resistance, and have the effect of nourishing and nourishing the skin.
