After the mother and daughter discussed the matter happily, they came to the yard.
Xu Miaomiao had a whim and wanted to make duck eggs to eat.
The thought of the oily red duck eggs paired with steamed buns and rice porridge made her want to die.
"Mom, can you make salted duck eggs?" Xu Miaomiao asked neatly while washing the duck eggs.
"Of course I can. Salted duck eggs are very easy to make. If you want to eat them, I will make them for you." Xu Cuizhu is a good person in life.
Salted duck eggs are something that almost every household can make.
They are also sold on the street and are very common.
"Then how about we make two jars each? Let's see who makes the delicious one." Xu Miaomiao started to compare.
She knows a very delicious way to cook it.
"Okay. Anyway, we have plenty of duck eggs at home." Xu Cuizhu had no objection at all.
It’s also a good idea to make some salted duck eggs. You can eat them sooner or later in the winter when there is no food.
It’s easy and delicious.
Just do it.
Xu Miaomiao washed the fresh duck eggs, wiped them, dried them and put them in a jar.
Immediately afterwards, in the pot, put an appropriate amount of ginger, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns into the water at a ratio of four kilograms of water for every fifty duck eggs and boil them.
After it is cooked and fragrant, add one kilogram of salt, a little sugar and 50 grams of white wine.
The most important step is to add white wine, which is the key to making the salted duck eggs produce oil.
After that's done, it's time to wait.
Xu Miaomiao took the brine outside. The temperature outside was low and it got cold quickly.
Wait for the brine to cool completely before pouring it into the jar. It is best to cover the egg noodles.
Put a lid on the jar and seal it.
"I've made it and it will be ready to eat in twenty days." Xu Miaomiao felt full of accomplishment.
"You're finally done with it. In fact, making salted duck eggs doesn't have to be so complicated. Just make it like I just did, and it's delicious."
Xu Cuizhu had already finished making preserved eggs in the yard, so she stood up to take a rest.
"Mom, it's different. The salted duck eggs made this way produce a lot of oil and taste the best." Xu Miaomiao firmly believed.
Seeing Xu Cuizhu's obviously unconvinced look, Xu Miaomiao decided not to explain.
You will know when you compare them.
"Really?" Xu Cuizhu thought about when her daughter made preserved eggs before, and she wondered if the eggs would be inedible.
Maybe what my daughter cooks is actually more delicious than what she cooks.
"of course."
Xu Cuizhu helped Xu Miaomiao and sent the two jars home.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but said, "Miaomiao, when the duck eggs are ready, you must remember to bring them to me to try."
She has been working as a duck egg for decades, and she doesn’t believe she will lose to her own daughter.
"Okay, okay, don't worry." Xu Miaomiao agreed.
When the time comes, she will definitely let her mother know what it means to be someone outside the world, and there is a world outside the world.
After a week, the temperature dropped sharply.
Xu Miaomiao opened the door and saw white snowflakes floating in the sky.
She reached out to take it, and the snowflakes fell on her hand and disappeared.
The temperature on your hands is fatal to tiny snowflakes.
This kind of weather reminded Xu Miaomiao of last winter.
That heavy snow, that avalanche, and the wolves coming down the mountain
As time went by, in just one year, she somewhat forgot about it.
Judging from the weather this year, no matter how cold it is, it will be better than last year.
Xu Miaomiao went back to the house and put on a thick down jacket. Her hands and feet quickly became warm.
I bought this down jacket last year. The quality is very good and I think I can wear it for a few more years.
After breakfast, Xu Miaomiao called Xu Cheng and asked about the progress of the matter.
No idea yet.
Xu Miaomiao asked Xu Cheng to buy her a black and white TV and deliver it to her when she picked it up.
She has wanted to buy a TV set for a long time, mainly because she wanted to watch the weather forecast on it.
As for whether it's accurate or not, it's hard to say.
Anyway, I feel more at ease after watching it than without watching it.
The snow only fell for a while and stopped after breakfast.
This made people in Liujiacun heave a sigh of relief, because the shadow left by last year was too deep.
The TV was delivered around one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Miaomiao was in the kitchen making a very nourishing mutton soup for Xu Qi.
Hearing voices coming from the yard, he went out and saw Lao Lin holding a large cardboard box.
There were many villagers behind him.
"Mom Wen Xin, your family has bought a TV set!"
"This is the first TV set in our village!"
"TVs are so expensive, I can't even think about it in my life."
The people in the village were very curious and wanted to see what the TV looked like.
I heard that pictures can be projected inside, and there are people inside the TV.
Each one of them was very surprised, but they made room for Xu Miaomiao with a wink.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Miaomiao looked at Lao Lin with a smile.
We often interacted with each other, and the two of them were considered old acquaintances.
"It's okay." Lao Lin is not a talkative person.
Nodding towards Xu Miaomiao was considered a very enthusiastic response.
He doesn't usually smile much and looks a bit serious.
The villagers were quite afraid of him at first, but later they saw him more often and said hello from time to time.
Not familiar, but not unfamiliar either.
"Let's put it in the living room." Xu Miaomiao led him in and made room.
She made a small long table in advance, which was larger than the coffee table, just to place the TV.
Place it just opposite the wooden sofa for easy viewing.
Black and white TVs are not complicated. They only need to be plugged into a power strip to turn on and watch.
Lao Lin plugged in the plug and was about to teach Xu Miaomiao how to use it, but he saw that Xu Miaomiao had already turned on the TV.
There was a moment of surprise on his expressionless face.
Then he was relieved when he thought that Xu Miaomiao was not an unsophisticated ordinary person from the countryside.
"Boss Xu, I'll leave first."
"Okay, thank you." Xu Miaomiao gratefully watched him leave.
Xu Miaomiao withdrew her gaze and looked at the black and white TV with a small screen.
To be honest, I felt curious and a little disgusted at the same time.
What was shown on TV was a TV series with a very contemporary feel. Xu Miaomiao said she had never seen it.
The voice was a bit low, so Xu Miaomiao adjusted it.
"We are brothers who have lived our lives. Living our lives is not worth the money!"
She turned it up a little too loud and was closest to the TV. The sudden sound startled her.
It also startled the people nearby who were curious about the TV.
Xu Miaomiao lowered her voice, and when she looked back, she was shocked again.
Why are there so many people behind me and no one says anything???
Xu Miaomiao just wanted to try to see if the TV could be used and if it worked well.
She wanted to turn it off after trying it out, but there were so many people staring at the picture on the TV with such concentration that she couldn't drive them away.
"Everyone wants to sit down and watch. It's so tiring to stand."
Xu Miaomiao is not a stingy person. It is the first TV in the village, so just watch it for a while.
Some people in the village smiled at Xu Miaomiao and sat down, while some were too embarrassed to sit down and just stood and watched.
After a while, more and more people gathered in the main room of Xu Miaomiao's house.
The room couldn't be crowded, and many people stood at the door and craned their necks to take a look.
