Xianghua and Shopkeeper Hu laughed together.

Xianghua asked: "Shopkeeper Hu has lunch and then leaves?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "This ...... All right? ”

Xianghua smiled and poured him a cup of tea: "What's so embarrassing?" Last time, Sister Xiaoman came to eat and found bean curd rice. I've got something fresh for today, would you like to try it? ”

Shopkeeper Hu's eyes immediately lit up, and he said happily: "That's a good dare!" You're welcome! ”

Xianghua went to Butcher Hu to buy some lean meat, and slowly chopped it into minced meat.

Shopkeeper Hu looked at it with his hands behind his back, and felt that this fragrant flower was more and more interesting the more he looked at it.

"Fragrant Flower Girl......"

Xianghua said happily: "Shopkeeper Hu, you just call me Xianghua, it sounds weird." ”

Shopkeeper Hu smiled and said, "Xianghua, you see you are so capable." My youngest daughter is also your age, and now she is looking for her mother for everything, hey. ”

"Learn slowly, you will. Shopkeeper Hu, you are so shrewd, your daughter must be very smart. ”

The shopkeeper Hu loved his little daughter very much, twisted his beard with a smile, and asked, "Xianghua, where did you learn these good skills?" Also from your mother? ”

Xianghua paused, and said with a smile: "Of course." ”

As she spoke, Xianghua had already marinated the lean minced meat, and took out three dusty, round things again.

Shopkeeper Hu was curious: "...... is this?" ”

"Preserved eggs."

Xianghua put the preserved eggs in the water, washed the shell, and the shopkeeper Hu found out that it was a duck egg.

When Xianghua peeled off the shell, revealing the amber-like translucent egg white inside, Shopkeeper Hu was so surprised that his hands trembled.

"This ...... Is this still an egg? ”

Xianghua sneered: "Why isn't it an egg?" There's also egg yolk in it. ”

The fragrant flower peeled off the whole preserved eggshell, and the delicate and clear preserved egg was exposed, and then cut it with a knife, and the semi-solidified egg yolk in the center was attractive, as if hooking people's tongues to taste.

Shopkeeper Hu was so dumbfounded that he forgot to speak.

Xianghua quickly cut the preserved eggs into cubes, washed the rice, and stewed together.

"I'll be able to eat it later." Xianghua said easily.

She lit the fire and took out a few small preserved eggs.

Shopkeeper Hu recognized it this time: "Could this be a quail egg?" ”

Xianghua smiled: "That's right. ”

"Can I peel one and see?"

"Absolutely." Xianghua gave him a little space.

Shopkeeper Hu rolled up his sleeves, carefully peeled off the eggshell, and when a complete quail egg was peeled, Shopkeeper Hu held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, and couldn't stop admiring.

"How can this egg be so pretty...... Yo, look there are flowers on it! ”

Xianghua has never seen the shopkeeper Hu so startled, so she can't help but feel funny, and said casually: "That pattern looks like a pine flower, right?" That's why we also call preserved eggs 'Songhua eggs'. ”

The shopkeeper stroked his beard again: "Interesting and interesting!" ”

Xianghua was talking to him, and the movements of her hands were also very neat, and she quickly cut the quail preserved eggs and arranged them in a circle along the edge of the plate, placing a small plate in the middle and filling it with some soy sauce.

"Dipping and eating, too?"

"Dip and eat."

When Cheng Linchang and Taro came back, Xiangmiao and Donglin had already set up the table, and when the two saw that the shopkeeper Hu was coming, they also greeted each other politely and sat down.

Cheng Linchang saw the quail eggs on the table at a glance, and asked curiously, "This is a quail egg?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu laughed and said: "Brother Cheng, you are the same as me, Xianghua said that this is indeed quail eggs, and there are duck eggs in the porridge." ”

Xianghua pursed her lips and smiled: "Although the preserved eggs are delicious, you can't eat too much." Eating too much is not good for the body. ”

Taro has eaten delicious food in the world before, and I have never heard of this preserved egg, but I thought that the original chili pepper was the same, so I scooped a little with a spoon, blew it, and put it in my mouth.

"It's delicious!" Donglin took the lead.

When the children ate the delicious food, they shook their heads and danced with their hands, and Xiangmiao simply held her face and closed her eyes to taste it.

Xianghua looked dumbfounded and smiled. One by one, I ate a few delicious things and began to be a trick.

She was more curious about quail eggs, so she took a piece of soy sauce with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, and couldn't help but raise her orchid fingers and say, "It's delicious!" ”

Preserved eggs and eggs are two completely different flavors, preserved eggs are more attractive in appearance and color, the preserved eggs of preserved eggs and lean porridge are fragrant, and the preserved eggs dipped in soy sauce are fat but not greasy, glutinous and full, and the taste can be called the "cream" of ancient times!

Although Xianghua said in advance that "you can't eat too much", everyone still had a round stomach after eating, and the mouth still had an aftertaste.

"It's delicious, it's so fragrant."

"Sister, let's do it again."

Xianghua said lazily: "Wait for next month." ”

Shopkeeper Hu was satisfied, and said seriously: "Xianghua, I will definitely tell our boss Qian about this preserved egg, you just wait to collect the money." ”

What, collect money again?! Cheng Linchang's eyes widened.

Xianghua said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Hu, I don't need to tell you this time, I plan to follow you to Taiping Town and talk to Sister Xiaoman in person." ”

"That's fine! Let's go! ”

Xianghua moved with difficulty, and said, "It's better to wait for half an hour, hold on...... Hold on. ”

It was already evening when Xianghua, Taro and Hu Shopkeeper arrived in Taiping Town, and Qian Xiaoman went out in the afternoon, and he didn't know when he would come back in the evening.

Shopkeeper Hu invited Xianghua to finish dinner in Xiangmanlou, and went to his house for one night in the evening, and said it tomorrow.

After eating some fragrant flowers and taro, I took the opportunity to visit the night market in Taiping Town.

The night market in Taiping Town is mostly small stalls, selling most of them, and there are also knick-knacks, what rouge gouache, jewelry and head flowers, it looks very lively.

Taro walked a step behind Xianghua, watching this little girl leisurely looking east and west, and suddenly thought that in another month to Qixi Festival, this little girl will be ten years old.

At the age of ten, the little girls in the city began to pay some attention to jewelry and dressing, and this girl knew how to make money, but she didn't bother to dress up at all, and she still didn't open her mind.

Taro deliberately guides the guidance.

"Xianghua, what do you think of this?" He picked up a box of rouge.

Xianghua glanced at it and whispered with some disgust: "It's too red, it's like a monkey's butt when you put it on." ”

Taro smiled and changed to incense powder: "What about this?" ”

Xianghua frowned and said, "The color number doesn't match me." ”

Taro: "Huh? ”

Xianghua hurriedly changed her words: "I mean, don't look at me as white now, wait a year or two, I can be white and red without incense powder, then it is called 'nature, life, beauty, quality'." ”

Taro looked at her thin and small and slightly dark face, held back a smile and stretched out his hand to show her: "You are not as white as me." ”

Xianghua was unconvinced: "What is this?" I'm telling you, I didn't keep up with nutrition before, and you waited for me for three years to impress you! ”

Taro smiled.
