Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Nowadays, everyone in the village is short of corn seeds, as there are many families in the village.

Who should I sell this to? And who should I not sell this to?

You know, it cost one or two taels of silver to buy a bag of corn seeds, and it was carried back from the town with great difficulty.

If you sell this kind of seeds to others at one or two taels of silver per bag, I'm afraid people will think it's too expensive. In any case, no one will say a good word about it.

An Yue thought about it and suddenly came up with an idea.

Anyway, there are enough people in the family now, and there is a piece of wasteland behind the house.

Just reclaim that piece of wasteland and plant corn on it.

The more you plant, the more you will harvest, but it is not easy to manage.

Of course, other families don’t have corn seeds, but you have to plant more than ten acres of land, which is more likely to arouse envy.

Never mind. I’m not a golden baby that everyone loves, so how can I make everyone like me?

An Yue put down the account book, closed her eyes and prepared for a nap.

......

A few minutes passed.

Everyone woke up from their lunch break.

They started to get busy with their work again.

Daniu, A'er, grandmother and aunt-in-law were holding hoes and preparing to go out.

An Yue quickly said to everyone: "Everyone wait a moment."

Everyone turned around and looked at An Yue.

"Tomorrow we will start growing corn seedlings. Today everyone should try to plant the remaining taro in the ground."

"Well, okay, miss." Daniu squinted his eyes and smiled, nodding.

Then, the four men carried hoes and walked out of the yard gate.

An Yue walked over and flipped through the corn seeds. She turned her head and saw the chicken coop nearby. The preserved eggs she made last time suddenly came to her mind.

At that time, because there was no edible alkali, I thought of leaving it for a longer time.

But in the blink of an eye, nearly two months have passed.

She wondered if these preserved eggs were edible or not, so she picked up the small basket and walked towards the cellar.

Come to the cellar.

An Yue saw that the two large jars were already filled with duck eggs.

She silently calculated in her mind that the whole family would be busy growing corn for a long time to come.

She wanted to take advantage of the next two days before she got too busy, so she asked Chunzhi and her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer to help her turn all the duck eggs into preserved eggs and store them.

Of course, before making preserved eggs, you must first check whether the previously made preserved eggs were successful.

She carried the basket to another jar, opened the sealed lid, and took out ten preserved eggs.

Then he closed the lid and left the cellar carrying the preserved eggs.

Chunzhi was cleaning the yard when she saw An Yue carrying preserved eggs.

She hurried forward and asked, "Miss, are these preserved eggs edible?"

An Yue put the basket under the eaves and said, "I don't know either. Let's open one and see."

"Okay, Chunzhi will get the bowl right away." Chunzhi put down the broom in her hand and walked towards the kitchen.

An Yue hurriedly said to Chunzhi: "Chunzhi, remember to bring out another basin of clean water."

"Okay, miss."

An Yue picked up a preserved egg and gently cracked open the wood ash and mud covering the eggshell.

Soon, Chunzhi brought a basin of clean water and placed it on the ground.

An Yue put the preserved eggs in clean water to wash the dirt off the egg shells.

After washing, An Yue gently cracked the eggshell.

At this time, Chunzhi stared at the preserved eggs in An Yue's hand and couldn't help swallowing.

An Yue peeled off the eggshell and carefully checked the condition inside.

The egg white of the preserved egg is transparent with a hint of brown, and there is a very beautiful pine flower pattern on the surface.

Chunzhi looked at the black preserved egg and asked doubtfully, "Miss, the duck egg has become like this, is it bad?"

An Yue pointed at the pine flower pattern on the surface of the preserved egg and explained, "It's not bad. If the taste is right, then this quality is considered successful."

After saying that, An Yue put the preserved eggs into a bowl and took it into the kitchen.

An Yue cut the preserved egg and found that the yolk was dark green, which looked very tempting.

Then pick up a piece with chopsticks and put it in your mouth, savoring it quietly.

The unique taste and flavor made An Yue's eyes light up instantly.

Chunzhi asked curiously, "Miss, how does it taste?"

An Yue pursed her lips happily and nodded excitedly: "Yeah, not bad. It's done! It tastes great!"

Suddenly, Chunzhi's face was also filled with joy, and she said, "Miss, Chunzhi wants to try it too."

Chunzhi picked up a piece, put it in her mouth and chewed it.

He frowned and said, "Miss, Chunzhi has never tasted this flavor before. It feels a bit strange, but also a bit delicious."

As she spoke, Chunzhi put another piece in her mouth.

After eating, Chunzhi said, "Eat two more pieces, it will taste even better."

You take one, and I take one.

After a while, there was only one piece of preserved egg left in the bowl.

Chunzhi licked her lips and said, "Miss, the preserved eggs are really delicious! Let's make some more and store them!"

Just at this moment, sister-in-law Meng Xiuer walked into the kitchen.

After hearing the conversation between Chunzhi and Anyue, she asked, "Yueyue, what are you planning to do more of?"

An Yue picked up the bowl and gave the last piece of preserved egg in the bowl to her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer to taste.

Said: "Sister-in-law, try it too."

The expression on Meng Xiuer's face changed from frowning to surprise in just a few breaths.

She said with surprise: "This smell is really new, what is this?"

An Yuetian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the preserved egg I made earlier."

After Meng Xiuer finished eating, she licked her lips with satisfaction and said affirmatively: "Not bad, not bad, delicious."

"Just now I saw that there are a lot of duck eggs stored in our cellar. I thought that before we get busy these two days, I should make all the duck eggs in the two large jars into preserved eggs and store them."

Chunzhi and her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer nodded quickly and said, "That's great. When will we start?"

"Then let's divide the work first!"

Meng Xiuer took the initiative to ask: "Yueyue, what can I do to help?"

"Sister-in-law, please help burn more wood ash at home."

After that, he turned around and asked Chunzhi: "Is Chunzhi able to work?"

"Yes, no problem. Please make the arrangements, Miss."

"Then Chunzhi took a hoe and went to the wasteland outside the yard to dig some yellow soil. She must choose the fine yellow soil without any gravel mixed in it."

"Yeah, okay miss."

"Then let's get going now!"

After that, the three of them started to get busy.

An Yue took the sickle and put on the backpack, and started walking towards the back mountain.

Ba Shi watched An Yue go out with the backpack on her back, and it quickly followed her out.

Everyone started busying themselves with their own work.

......

An hour passed.

All the ingredients for making preserved eggs are ready.

Just like last time, An Yue began to skillfully mix the various ingredients.

Then, An Yue wrapped the duck eggs one by one in wood ash mud, and Chunzhi rolled them in a thick layer of wood ash.
