Lu Jin put down the bowl and saw that Lin Xiaoman had been staring at him, so he asked, "I took a look in the morning, the grass is growing in the newly planted cabbage field, and I will pull the weeds in the afternoon?" ”

Lin Xiaoman thought for a while, "No, there are not many grasses, Chen Xiaolian can pull them out." In a few days, we will harvest corn and rice, and then we will be busy for a while, so let's take a break at this time. Recently, I have saved a lot of duck eggs, so let's pickle duck eggs in the afternoon. ”

"Cheng, I'll accompany you to pickle in the afternoon."

"Well, I pickled a brine salt last month, cook a few and bring it back to the county, just pick one if you want to eat it, and you don't have to run to me all the time."

Lu Jin laughed while eating: "Xiaoman, do you think I'm coming over every day?" ”

Lin Xiaoman hummed angrily, who has ever seen a county magistrate hand over all the official affairs in the county government to the master, and he ran to the countryside all day long? Even if you do your best for the new grain seeds, you will inevitably be perceived as a fake public benefit.

There is also the fact that he has been on the ground for several days in a row, Lu Jin has tanned a few degrees again, and he goes down to the ground every day with his trouser legs, if he doesn't recognize him, he really wants to think that he is the offspring of someone in the village, how can he still be an official?

Lu Jin said: "Yes, the day after tomorrow is the hospital exam, as the county order, I want to preside over in the county, I'm afraid I won't see Xiaoman for a while, you bring me more duck eggs." ”

Lin Xiaoman's heart suddenly tugged at his words, and she didn't realize it when she saw it every day, and suddenly she couldn't say it, she was still uncomfortable in her heart.

But it was only for a moment, Lin Xiaoman waved his hand indifferently, "If you can't see it, you won't see it, you have to make a few dishes when you see it, and I just have to take a break." ”

Lu Jin's heart seems to have been stabbed, how much does Xiaoman not want to see him?

After eating, Lu Jin took the dishes to wash, and Lin Xiaoman took out all the eggs and duck eggs he had saved these days, and there were a few goose eggs in them.

Chickens, ducks and geese have just started laying eggs, and the eggs are not big, Lin Xiaoman soaked these eggs in a large wooden basin and took a brush to brush them one by one.

Put the brush in a wooden barrel, and then put it in the jar for marinating eggs.

Last year, I bought a lot of pickled cabbage, and I can pickle a lot of them in one jar.

Lu Jin came out after washing the dishes, and saw Lin Xiaoman sitting in the yard brushing eggs, and he also wanted to come over to help, Lin Xiaoman said: "It's not much, you take the washed ones to the outhouse, there is a box of mud next to the tank, you press a fingerprint on each egg, and throw it into the pickled egg jar after pressing the fingerprint." ”

Lu Jin agreed, carried Lin Xiaoman's washed eggs into the outhouse, and sure enough, he found a box of ink clay on the side of the tank.

I opened the clay box, dipped some of my fingers in it, and hesitated what kind of fingerprints to press to be qualified, "Xiaoman, are the fingerprints bigger or smaller?" ”

Lin Xiaoman said: "It's almost enough." ”

Lu Jin still didn't dare to lower his fingers, "Do you want fingerprints of the same size?" ”

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "That is, to make a mark, this time press the fingerprint, and next time use the chopsticks to point a few points, so that it is easy to distinguish." If you are afraid that you will not press well, you can use the chopsticks to point it, this time I will order one, and next time I will order two. ”

Lu Jin was relieved, so he directly started to press the fingerprints.

After Lin Xiaoman finished washing the chickens, ducks and goose eggs, Lu Jin also pressed his fingerprints here, looking at the eggs floating on the tank, none of them had fingerprints, and he stretched out his hand to stir them in the tank, but he didn't see a few.

Lin Xiaoman came in and saw him playing with the eggs in the vat, "If you light it, it's all scattered." ”

Lu Jin asked, "Why is the egg you just put down gone?" ”

Lin Xiaoman glanced inside, "The bottom that was just put in is sinking, and it will float up after a long time of pickling." ”

Lu Jin felt magical, and stood by the cylinder and watched it for a while.

Lin Xiaoman brought a basin, "My lord, you take out the unmarked eggs on it." ”

Lu Jin picked up the eggs and looked at them carefully, for fear that he would make a mistake, so he said while fishing: "It's too raw to call adults." ”

Lin Xiaoman thought for a moment, "That can't be called a son." ”

Lu Jin shook his head helplessly, "You can call Ah Jin." ”

Lin Xiaoman stared at Lu Jin, "Are you serious?" ”

She dared to guarantee that if she dared to call it that, more than a dozen rumors would immediately spread in the village.

Lu Jin also felt that he was too anxious, and said helplessly: "Then let's call it an adult." Just call it by name. ”

Lin Xiaoman said noncommittally 'oh', picked up the wine jar placed on the side of the tank, and poured a lot of wine into the tank.

The wine is fragrant, Lu Jin feels sorry for such a good wine to pickle duck eggs? But when I thought that the duck eggs were really delicious, I didn't have that mouth.

When leaving, Lin Xiaoman brought Lu Jin a basket of pickled eggs and duck eggs, and two small jars of spicy meat sauce for him to eat with noodles and bibimbap. He also broke a big bag of corn on the cob and brought it back.

In the evening, when they went to teach over there for a tutor class, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu said: "The day after tomorrow is the hospital exam, let's go to the county tomorrow to live in the county first, you just try your best to take the exam, don't be too stressed." ”

Lin Erhu sighed, "You can't try your best to take the test, Mr. said, if you can't pass the Tongsheng test, don't say that he taught it outside." ”

Lin Xiaoman knew that Xu Qiuliang had confidence in Lin Erhu, but how could he say such a thing as an exam? can only say: "Then don't call Mr., how can you change your words after the autumn harvest." ”

Lin Erhu laughed, "Yes, yes, he won't be able to listen to me call him Mr. in the future." ”

Grandma Chen heard the sound of the door opening and came out, "Xiaoman, the salted duck eggs you brought over before are too fragrant, much more delicious than the ten yuan and six outside, my daughter-in-law asked me to ask you, can you still buy it?" ”

Lin Xiaoman's salted duck eggs were just taken away by Lu Jin, and the next batch would have to wait for half a month. Other people in the village raise ducks but have salted duck eggs, but I don't know where the problem is, obviously she taught it by hand, the pickled duck eggs are not as delicious as her pickles, of course, than the salted duck eggs sold here are still much more delicious.

"My family's salted duck eggs are gone, will other people's families succeed?"

"Isn't that delicious?" Grandma Chen is most worried about the taste, if it is not delicious, she might as well buy it outside.

Lin Xiaoman said: "They are all ducks stocked in the same river, and the pickled ones may not be the same, but they are more fragrant than the feed feeds." ”

"Nacheng, you help me buy thirty of them and come back to taste them, next month is going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my daughter-in-law wants to bake egg yolk mooncakes at home."

"Next month, my duck eggs will be pickled, if Grandma Chen is not in a hurry, I will keep as much as I want for you."

Grandma Chen nodded hurriedly, "Okay, your duck eggs will leave me two hundred, we have a lot of family, and there are many daughters-in-law's families, so there will be nothing left." ”

Selling 200 salted duck eggs at once, Lin Xiaoman was happy, now he can pick up about 40 eggs a day, and he can save up to 200 in five days, and then ask Grandma Xu if they want duck eggs when they are pickled.

I sent a message to the teacher who came to the tutor class in the next few days, saying that there was something at home and that this week's class was temporarily canceled, and I replied with a received expression.
