Chapter 72: Tea Eggs
After hearing this, Lili's eyes lit up, "Can I do it?" ”
"Just learn to play, I happen to have textbooks and dictionaries."
After breakfast the next day, Gu Mingtang took out the tape recorder and tape, Lili and Sanwa squatted in front of the tape recorder curiously, curiously watched Gu Mingtang put the tape in, and then the sweet voice of the little girl came from inside: Good morning teacher.
A good morning teacher, which attracted the attention of the two babies, and by the way, Lili and Chunya.
This tape is not a textbook, starting with the letters, basically the basics, mainly pronunciation standards, there are many common words in it, there are a total of six sets of tapes, if you can master it, whether it is listening or conversation, there is no problem.
As for writing, take your time.
After the winter solstice, the sky was getting longer day by day, and Gu Mingtang changed the two meals to three meals.
The schedule also began to gradually become regular.
Dinner and breakfast from 8 to 9 o'clock, this time period for children to learn English, just one hour, after learning can go out to play.
Compared with the textbook, an hour passed quickly.
In the afternoon, it was time for the two children to practice calligraphy and painting, Gu Mingtang and Lili cooked the remaining melon seeds to control the water, and the room was full of Deng, but this time there was no hurry, and they could be dried and fried slowly.
However, the weather is slowly getting warmer, and fried spiced melon seeds will be discovered sooner or later. Gu Mingtang thought, before being discovered, should I change places?
But here's the problem, thirty or fifty pounds is no problem, hundreds or thousands of pounds are not petty fights, it is inconvenient to change anywhere, and it is easier to have accidents in unfamiliar places.
As long as there is no document on it, Beihuang will strictly enforce it and do not allow buying and selling.
In fact, she could have been patient and waited until the early eighties, so that she would not shrink back like this.
But Gu Mingtang's heart was unstable, and he couldn't wait that long.
She worries that this wounded chronicle has developed an inherent sense of the world, that is, the protagonist is powerful but unfortunate, and he is destined to lose the person he loves most.
As a male lead, it doesn't matter.
But as the person he loves the most, it would be too unlucky.
Thankfully, she wasn't.
But kid yes.
Gu Mingtang's eyes were fierce, and if she dared to let the two children continue their tragic fate, she would dare to ruin the world!
Soon, when the time agreed with Qi Gang arrived, Gu Mingtang put the ingredients of the tea eggs in a canvas bag, put them on the back seat of the bicycle and tied them, and told Lili to look after the family, and she rode her bicycle to the county seat.
This yellow sand road leading to the county seat is in disrepair and potholes, and when it snows heavily in winter, carriages and cars really don't bump, but after the snow melts, there are potholes everywhere, avoid this, can't avoid that.
In other words, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
It was much better to wait until the commune section, and the main roads in the county town are all cement roads, so it is easier to ride.
Seeing Qi Gang and Zhou Aijun standing at the gate of the department store, Gu Mingtang raised his hand at them, and then was taken to a seemingly abandoned house in the north of the city.
The house is at the foot of the mountain, not far from two units, one of which is a nursing home, the other is a nursing home, and further north is a forest, not to mention, it is quite quiet.
Everything was prepared here, but in two days, 1,500 eggs were obtained, and five cauldrons and other utensils were prepared here.
The big iron pot was used, but the stove was fresh, and the mud on it was not dry, but it looked clean, and there was a handsome girl of fifteen or sixteen who was working with a rag.
Gu Mingtang's eyes moved slightly as he looked at the cauldron, and thought to himself, this is a good place.
I don't know how they found it.
Gangzi introduced, "Sister, that's my sister, just call her Qi Qi." ”
The little girl nodded shyly at Gu Mingtang.
But he didn't speak.
Qi Gang hurriedly explained, "Sister, Qi Qi...... Won't speak. ”
Gu Mingtang was stunned for a moment, opened the satchel, fortunately brought a few packets of homemade peanut toffee, she gave Qi Qi a pack, "Peanut toffee, I made it myself, you can taste it." ”
Qi Qi was worried that she couldn't speak, Gu Mingtang would hate her, but seeing the smile on her face, Qi Qi, who could best understand kindness and malice, was relieved.
Opening the paper bag, a rectangular piece of milky peanut candy made Qi Qi couldn't help but take a piece and put it in his mouth.
With just one bite, Qi Qi's eyes widened, his eyebrows and eyes curled in an instant, and he gave Gu Mingtang a thumbs up, gesturing while eating, without waiting for Qi Gang to explain, Gu Mingtang said with a smile, "I understand, Qi Qi praised the toffee I made." ”
Gu Mingtang gave Gangzi and Zhou Aijun another packet and let the two of them eat separately.
The feeling of being treated like a child...... It's a lot of fun.
Zhou Aijun ate one and said sincerely, "Sister, this toffee is so delicious." ”
Gu Mingtang unceremoniously stopped his thoughts, "This is for my own family to eat, it is too laborious to make, the cost is high, and the raw materials are not easy to find......"
Zhou Aijun really didn't mention it anymore, and also told Gu Mingtang about a few of them, although he had helpers, he always felt that it was not safe, and he was still at ease.
Eggs served by ticket are cheap, but if you go through the black market channel, it is a dime to two cents.
This is much more recycled, with an average egg looking like a dime a dime.
Don't say much, get to work.
First of all, he cleaned the eggs, Gu Mingtang thought that Zhou Aijun would not be able to work, after all, this person knew at a glance that the family conditions should be good, but he didn't expect that it was very profitable to work.
He and Gangzi were washing here, and over there Gu Mingtang and Qi Qi put the washed eggs in the pot and boiled them, and after about five minutes, they were all fished out and soaked for a while, and Gu Mingtang taught Qi Qi to break the eggshells one by one.
The three cauldrons that were vacated, Gu Mingtang took out the ingredients that had been prepared, the most important thing was black tea, and put it in according to the proportion, and soon, the fragrance spread.
It seems that in order to avoid suspicion, when Gu Mingtang put the seasoning, the three of them went into the back room to wash the eggs.
It's not so nervous, the tea eggs don't have any technical content, but the tea is very critical, I think it's simple to know, and I don't know if I will put soy sauce in it.
Gu Mingtang found that after she wore it into the book, her cooking skills were improving little by little, many things, as long as she wanted to eat and do it with her heart, the taste was absolutely good, and there was a feeling of handiness in the proportion.
More than 500 were boiled in one morning, all of which were put in a large basin, and when they were all cooked, they were put back into the soup stock to soak.
At noon, Qi Qi made hot soup noodles, each with a tea egg, Zhou Aijun said, "I think I can eat ten tea eggs without blinking." ”
"I haven't tasted much yet, you eat it tomorrow morning, it tastes better."
Zhou Aijun didn't hide it, and asked directly, "Sister, this soup is so fragrant, can you use it repeatedly?" ”
"Yes, as long as it doesn't deteriorate and doesn't get moldy."
But then he also instructed a few people that the things at the entrance must pay attention to safety, they are sneaky, so don't give people problems with eating.
Zhou Aijun seriously agreed.
