Chapter 55: Making Songhua Eggs

As soon as Ergou and Sanfat heard that there was meat and white rice to eat, they agreed without thinking about it.

The two of them hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Build a cowshed and you can eat meat, where to find this cheap thing.

Jianghu helped the two of them to help, and when they got to the cooking point, they ran to cook.

Gu Xia was not idle, she picked up the last two pieces of tofu at home and sent them to Aunt Li next door. "Aunt Li came to you for a little favor, I don't know if I can spare time?"

"Xiao Xia is too polite, the neighbors live in the neighborhood, what are you doing with the squeak, what are you doing with the tofu here?" Aunt Li smiled and didn't accept the tofu in Gu Xia's hand.

"It's just two pieces of tofu and it's not a valuable thing, so Aunt Li will take it." Aunt Li is more familiar with the village than I am, and she must know who raises ducks with duck eggs. Please ask Aunt Li to help inform my family to collect duck eggs, how much I want. Gu Xia directly explained his intentions.

Sister-in-law Li knew that Gu Xia was a nimble-minded person, and she might think of a business made of duck eggs again.

She didn't ask much, she just helped. "This little thing is wrapped up in Aunt Li." Aunt Li has a few laying ducks at home. I saved about thirty or forty. I'll send it to you in a moment if you want it. ”

Aunt Li knew that Gu Xia was not the one who picked up, so she didn't even ask the price.

"Aunt Li usually sells duck eggs when she goes to the city?" Gu Xia didn't know much about the selling price of duck eggs in ancient times, so he simply asked.

Aunt Li is also a real person and will not deceive her.

"It's the same price as your tofu, one for three wen, and two duck eggs for five wen." Aunt Li replied truthfully.

"Well, then I will collect duck eggs at this price, and I will settle the money at that time, and I will not take credit." Gu Xia replied quickly.

Aunt Li's heart was overjoyed, and her smile was even greater: "This is great." You collect eggs at the same price as if I drove an ox cart into the city to sell eggs. I'll save up duck eggs and send them to your house from now on. Even the cost of entering the city was saved. It's not a hard work. ”

Gu Xia was also very happy, while she was doing business to make money, she also helped the people in the village invisibly. There was a sense of satisfaction in my heart.

Gu Xia returned home with Aunt Li's 32 duck eggs, and the money was also settled for Aunt Li.

The family knew that she was going to make Songhua eggs, and it was not surprising to see her come back with duck eggs.

At first, the second dog and the third fat didn't care much, but after a while, someone always sent a basket of duck eggs. They all walked out of the yard happily with a string of silver coins.

The two of them were stunned, and they were in no mood to do the work in their hands. I don't understand why my sister-in-law collects so many duck eggs?

You can't eat so much!

"Jianghu, is your sister-in-law crazy? Collect so many duck eggs, you can't eat them all this summer, and you can't become rotten eggs. You don't persuade your sister-in-law. Ergou leaned over to the rivers and lakes who were busy cooking and muttered quietly.

"My sister-in-law is not stupid, she is smart! It's not to collect so many duck eggs just to eat. You'll find out what you're doing later. You don't have to worry about it. Is the barn ready? It's almost time to eat. "The mouth of the rivers and lakes is tight.

Just don't say what the sister-in-law is doing when she collects duck eggs?

When the two of them heard this, they didn't continue to ask, and went back to get busy.

Half an hour later, both of them smelled the long-lost smell of meat and couldn't help licking their lips.

The cowshed was almost built, and the two of them shouted that they were working after eating.

"That's all that's left, and a pillar of incense will be finished in time. You eat first, and we'll eat when we're done. Ergou replied.

The work was not finished, and both of them could not eat.

The rivers and lakes didn't put the meat out, put it in the pot and warm it, and went over to help the two of them.

Gu Xia and Jiang's mother washed all the hundred or so duck eggs they had received.

Gu Xia went back to the house and took out more than a dozen bags of egg powder from the space, which was the key to making Songhua eggs.

In her previous life, she would also make Songhua eggs to eat, which would hoard a lot of egg powder. She has a habit of stockpiling.

She is not afraid of others learning Songhua Egg, she can't do it without egg powder.

Add water to the egg powder and stir to thicken, and put the duck eggs in it one by one and dip them into egg powder evenly. Cover with a layer of dry powder and seal for storage. It took more than ten days to make Songhua eggs.

All the Songhua eggs were made, the cowshed was also built, Zhuang Zhuang was driven into the cowshed, the rivers and lakes put hay on the ground, Zhuang Zhuang ate grass with his head bored, and he was quite suitable for his new home.

Gu Xia brought the food to the table in the courtyard, and several people ate in the courtyard.

Ergou and Sanpang looked at the two large plates full of braised pork on the table, as well as two large plates of lying eggs, and the sister-in-law filled them with a large bowl of white rice.

Both of them were so moved that they were about to cry!

You must know that they can't eat meat a few times a year, and they don't dare to eat white rice like this. It's good to eat brown rice to your heart's content.

The eldest brother's family is so good, I'm afraid that they are usually reluctant to eat meat like this, so this must have been specially entertained to them.

As everyone knows, the Jiang family has been eating like this since Gu Xia got married. Not to mention that there is meat in the meal, it is almost the same.

"Sister-in-law, if you have any work at home in the future, you will still find me to do it." The second dog gobbled up braised pork.

I can't stop eating meat for too long, I can't control it.

Jianghu was stunned and watched Ergou and Sanfat gobble, as if they had fled from the famine and had not eaten for a few days.

He didn't mean to laugh at the two of them, the sister-in-law married in the first stew before, he was not better than the two of them, how is he?

This is all thanks to the sister-in-law, who let them live such a good life. The home is getting better and better.

After the meal, Ergou and Sanfat left with a satisfied face.

The village chief's wife, Wang, came with a woman in her early thirties and thirties. "Xiao Xia, this is my cousin, and she also lives in our village. It's not that she's my cousin, so I'm looking for her with eccentric eyes. My cousin may have done it, she used to work as a coolie in the city, and one of her daughters did the same work as a man. I'll bring it over to you to see, okay? ”

Gu Xia glanced at the woman a few times, but she looked like a person in her early thirties who looked like a person in her forties, her face and hands were very rough, and she looked like her hands that had been working for many years.

Her silver is not blown by the wind, and she wants this kind of person who can eat hard work. immediately agreed, "Aunt Wang is her, and she will come to work tomorrow." ”

Wang's cousin was worried that the Jiang family would not like her, after all, the salary of twenty wen is not low, and someone in the village is willing to find a strong man. Strong men are designated to be more capable.

I didn't expect Gu Xia to respond so easily. She breathed a sigh of relief and said thank you sincerely.

The Wang family secretly determined in his heart that he would definitely do a good job and would not disappoint the Jiang family.

She has many children in her family, and she has to support her, so she needs this high-wage job to supplement the family.

The next day, Gu Xia was still asleep, and the rivers and lakes did not get up. Aunt Zhang and the Wang family are here, and it's not dawn yet!

When the two of them arrived at the Jiang family, the gate was locked, or it was locked from the inside.

Both of them looked at each other a little nervously, I don't know what the Jiang family means?

"Sister Zhang, did you say that the Jiang family thought that the salary was too high, and regretted it." Wang asked bottomlessly.
