Chapter 523 523. Boiled Tea Eggs
In fact, Sister-in-law Wang’s family also raises chubby chickens, but because she either digs worms in the ground every day or eats vegetables, leaves and roots, they can barely be called free-range eggs.
The price is slightly cheaper than real free-range eggs, so they are quite popular.
Of course, when people in the village do business, there are always two points that they can't let go of. You come and go for a while, and then Ulan gives out the money.
Sister-in-law Wang was quite embarrassed: "Then I'll charge you..."
"Take it, take it."
Wu Lan is now used to doing business, and feels much more relaxed than before. Before leaving, he heard Sister-in-law Wang couldn't help but ask:
"Ulan, how much did you pay for your peach tree? My boss Bao Yuan, can you keep your business this year?"
"There aren't many trees on the hilltop to the east of me. I thought I might as well plant some fruit trees...but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it and the fruits won't be easy to sell."
How much does one cost?
Wu Lanke remembers it so clearly that when he says it now, he feels like he lost his mind and went crazy:
"Eighty yuan a tree! What we bought are three-year-old or five-year-old seedlings that can bear fruit in the same year. They are not cheap anyway! Later, we will open up wasteland and plant trees - I remember you also went to plant trees, right?"
Sister-in-law Wang nodded: I just went. I saw that the branches were still bare in early spring, but they were full of fruits last week... and the two bosses came to Baoyuan without having to go to the market to sell. This made me excited.
Even the two owners of the garden refused to keep the fruit even if they said there were too many, and they were too embarrassed to ask for a taste...
Otherwise, we would still know which varieties are so popular!
But here, apart from not mentioning the price of peaches, Wulan helped analyze everything else.
"You have to hire someone. If you plant it yourself slowly, the saplings won't last that long... If you delay planting the saplings, the fruiting will definitely be affected."
Anyway, there’s a lot of money wasted!
"Coupled with the management of fertilization and the installation of protective nets and so on, it's not a waste of money. The price of renting a garden is not bad..."
She didn't mean to say that it cost 50 yuan per catty, so she could only vaguely say: "The price is higher than the market price. This year's harvest is good, I can keep my capital and make some profit."
"What kind of fruit seedlings do you want? I'll ask Tantan to give you the boss's phone number later, and you can ask around?"
Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment: "There's no rush... You've spent a lot of money... How much does it cost to carry an excavator up the mountain for a day? You must have four to five hundred, right?"
"That's for sure!"
Ulan felt distressed when he thought of the money: "It's such a big mountain, and it takes a lot of effort to cut down trees. Just the roots of the trees, if you dig them manually, several people may not be able to dig them out in a day... You still have to dig them out... Come on."
"They also have a rotary head that crushes directly. It's more expensive, but it's much faster."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't help but retreat.
Not to mention whether the money can be repaid after planting the trees, just repairing the barren hills will cost a lot of money!
How much money have they saved in their entire life? I still have to save it to prepare my son to buy a house in the city - now I don’t have an apartment in the city, and I can’t get a wife.
At this moment, she couldn't help but look at Ulan with envy:
"It's better for your family to have a good career, get into a good university, and work in the provincial capital... You also said that you don't make much money. If you don't make much money, your family hires an excavator and clears up wasteland. How can you do that? capital?"
As soon as he said this, Wulan didn't know what to say.
She knew that this was what the villagers guessed about her family.
After all, no one would have thought that the initial income started from 20 yuan a pound of wild vegetables...
After thinking about it again and again, I could only say dryly: "My child works hard and doesn't really make much money..."
Mrs. Wang laughed loudly: "I know I don't earn much! I won't ask you to borrow money, so why are you panicking?"
Everyone in the village now knows that the old Song family owed the village one or two million for torturing the barren hills without doing anything!
Ulan:......
She hesitated to speak and carried the basket back.
…
When I got home, the hot water in the pot was boiling.
Qiaoqiao took the egg and brushed it quickly with a small brush. He has experience brushing duck eggs, and today his movements were fast and meticulous.
Then add another pot of cold water and put the eggs in the pot.
This time the eggs did not need to be overcooked. Soon, the seventh cousin picked up the reddish-pink eggs one by one and placed them in the pool aside. They were rinsed with cold water and then soaked.
And here, sprinkle salt into the boiling water:
"Qiaoqiao, remember, adding salt is not only for seasoning, but also to prevent the undercooked egg liquid from being exposed later."
Then there are peppercorns, fennel, and tea leaves——
"This tea has not been roasted, so I don't know if it will be fragrant enough later. But if it is left like this, it will only taste better after roasting."
"Let's try it today."
As the seventh cousin spoke, he pondered: "Actually, the old leaves are just right to use. You can't use the young shoots for boiling tea eggs. The taste is too bland and the taste is not fragrant. You have to use this kind that is resistant to soaking. Yes, it tastes strong.”
Wait until the water in the pot has been boiling for a while, then pour in some soy sauce: "Okay, use a spoon to break up all the egg shells and beat them evenly - once the eggshells are broken, put them in so they can taste better."
"good!"
Cooking is inherently light and heavy, but Qiao Qiao was able to figure out the right strength after just two experiments.
At this moment, I took a big iron spoon and banged it, and there was a crisp clicking sound all over the kitchen.
When Qiao Qiao lifted the stew pot from the stove and put it on the stove, the eggs can be put in.
"Okay! Stew it. If you are in a hurry, you can try it at noon. If you are not in a hurry, wait until the evening. It should be more flavorful at night."
Qiao Qiao thought for a while: "Can I put a few eggs at home?"
Seventh cousin was happy: "For family meals, what can't you put? Use a net bag to separate them. When they are almost cooked, you can pick them up and knock them."
Qiao Qiao was instantly happy!
Then, his eyes turned around the kitchen-
"Roast duck, where to roast it?"
Seventh cousin: ...
Yes, there is no smoker's table built for him in the kitchen! And there are also hanging racks, and a few need to be set up!
With a group of big eaters at home, how can we not prepare more?
Uncle Seven raised his voice: "Sancheng, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, build another platform in the kitchen! And separate a space."
Everyone in the family takes eating very seriously, and Song Sancheng immediately agreed: "Okay! I'll go get some cement bricks in the afternoon."
The unused cement bricks from building the house are still piled up in the back!
Song Sancheng couldn't help but wonder: "Should we dig another cellar? Otherwise, where can we store the sweet potatoes and radishes in autumn and winter?"
The sand pile behind the house is getting smaller and smaller, and we can't bury many radishes in winter!
There is a sand pile in front of our house, and the radishes in winter are stored in the sand pile. They are still fresh and sweet in March!
But after the beginning of March, they can't be hidden anymore, and the temperature is high.
There will be more chapters in the evening! (After all, I have already updated two chapters at this time, right... Great!!! I'm going to eat.)
