I was walking on the street. I was also hungry. I saw a bun seller in front of me, so I went over to buy one.
"Go away, go away, you stinky salesman, don't hinder our business." The waiter in the restaurant chased an old man.
"Don't kick me. I'm going to sell these duck eggs to buy medicine to save my life." Huh?? This sound isn't...
"Grandpa Liu, are you the former Butler Liu of the Prime Minister's Mansion??" I walked over and helped him bring the eggs over.
"You are..." Grandpa Liu still looked at me with a confused look. I just realized, oh, I look like a man now.
"I'm Xiaosi, Shi'er," I whispered to him. "Shh, don't scream too loud."
"Oh. Xiaosi, why did you run out again? Is Madam okay?"
"Okay, are we all okay?"
............................
After talking for a long time, I found out that Butler Liu's current home was in a small village on the outskirts of Lin'an City. It was not far from the capital of Lin'an, so I went to Butler Liu's house.
Grandma Liu was ill in bed. Her daughter was taking care of a large group of ducks by the lake. Grandpa Liu went to the city every day to sell these duck eggs to make a living.
They were very enthusiastic when they heard that Grandpa Liu said that I was a junior. It seems that Grandpa Liu said a lot of good things about me in front of them, which is really embarrassing. It can be seen that they are not living well now, and there is a backlog in the corner of the room.
There were several baskets of duck eggs. Aunt Liu (that is, Grandpa Liu's daughter) came in with a large bowl of duck eggs.
"This June day is coming, and I can't finish it. If these duck eggs can't be sold, they will go bad. Alas!" Grandpa Liu began to sigh as he spoke.
"It's all my fault for this illness!" Grandma Liu blamed herself. On the other hand, I felt guilty and envious of what a wonderful old couple they were.
"You can make salted duck eggs, tea eggs, etc., so you don't have to worry about them spoiling." My marketing knowledge is not in vain, I should be able to put it to use now.
"Oh? Salted duck eggs? Tea eggs?" They looked at me and asked confused.
I was stunned. By the way, there was no such method at this time. It was better this way, winning by novelty. I just did it, and I made salted duck eggs and tea eggs based on memory. I remember my mother used to be like this
Made.
First I made tea eggs. I didn’t know what the effect of duck eggs would be, so I just gave it a try.
I first used tea leaves, added peppercorns, aniseed, cinnamon, salt and a little sugar, washed the eggs, put them in, added water and boiled them, but it took a few days to soak for the flavor. I originally wanted to add some more
It’s soy sauce, but it’s okay if it’s not available here.
Then there is the salted egg. I am more confident about this. In the past three years, I have made a lot of Yuanyang brand salted eggs. I first soaked the duck eggs in white wine, and then put the soaked duck eggs in
Wrap a layer of salt inside. It would be better if you put some Sichuan peppercorns in the salt. Originally, the salt should be wrapped well.
Put the duck eggs in a sealed plastic bag. If there is no plastic bag here, use lotus leaves instead. Tie the mouth tightly to prevent air leakage. Put it in a cool place and say to Aunt Liu: "It will be ready to eat in about ten to fifteen days."
Yes. It is recommended to cook one and taste it before eating. If the taste is not enough, store it for a few days."
The taste of the tea eggs is actually just mediocre, but when I saw Grandpa Liu and others saying that they had never tasted such delicious eggs, I knew that the egg industry here needs to be explored.
After making that batch of tea leaves and salted duck eggs, it's getting late and it will be more troublesome to go back when the city gate is closed. I'll see them again in two days.
