Chapter 168 Making Preserved Eggs
After dinner, they started to arrange Xu Lian’s accommodation.
The Su family's house was full, and there was no extra space. Old Mrs. Su was a little worried. Su He smiled softly and said:
"What's the big deal? Just let my cousin live with me."
Xu Lian has a gentle personality and doesn't talk much. After spending a day with her, Su He has a pretty good impression of this cousin.
After saying that, Su He went into the house, took out a set of new clothes that Old Lady Su had just made for her, and handed it to Xu Lian.
"This set of clothes was just made for me by my grandma. We have similar body shapes, so it should be a perfect fit for you."
Su He thought about going to town tomorrow to buy more fabrics, and then asking her mother and aunt to make two new dresses for Xu Lian.
She felt really sad when she saw Xu Lian's old clothes full of patches.
When I saw her packing her things during the day, there were only two sets of old clothes and nothing else.
I thought the clothes she brought would be the same as what she was wearing. This set happened to be newly made and she hadn't worn it yet, so it was just right for Xu Lian.
When Xu Lian heard that it was the new clothes that Old Lady Su had just made for Su He, she was so frightened that she kept refusing and waving her hands, saying:
"Cousin, this won't do. These are new clothes that your grandmother made for you. How can I accept them? I have my own clothes and I brought two more with me."
Xu Lian looked flustered and pushed it back repeatedly.
Not only did the Su family help them to smoothly separate from their grandparents and uncle's family today, they will also send them food and daily necessities tomorrow.
The Su family had considered everything for their family and helped them in every way. This was a new dress that their grandmother made for their cousin, and she definitely wouldn't want it.
Seeing this, Su He comforted her, "Just accept it. I'll buy some more material tomorrow and ask grandma to make me another one."
Besides, she doesn't need new clothes now. She is planning to buy fabrics for her aunt's family tomorrow. She said this just to comfort Xu Lian.
Seeing this, Old Lady Su also advised:
"Xiao Lian, just keep it. It's a gift from your cousin. I'll make it for you later."
Su He often needs to go to the town to set up a stall and go to Qianweilou to discuss business. Old Mrs. Su had already made several new sets of clothes for her, so Su He has no shortage of clothes now.
Looking at the clothes on Xu Lian, it really makes people feel uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Xu Lian felt embarrassed to accept the gift as even Old Lady Su had to comfort her.
Seeing Xu Lian accept the clothes, Su He felt relieved and got up and went to the kitchen.
Xu Lian brought a basket of duck eggs today, and she quickly pickled them while there was still some time.
Su He couldn't wait to eat the homemade preserved eggs soon.
Due to limited conditions, Su He chose the simplest method of making preserved eggs.
First take out all the duck eggs in the basket, clean them and wipe them with cotton cloth.
Find a bamboo mat, put it on the rack, and place the cleaned duck eggs on the mat to dry.
I also went to find the wood ash, lime, salt, tea leaves, and homemade alkali needed to make preserved eggs.
Then he went to the backyard and grabbed a handful of sawdust left over from Old Man Su's carpentry work.
After everything was prepared, the duck eggs that had just been cleaned were almost dry.
Su He took some hot water to brew the tea leaves, and instantly the rich aroma of tea wafted out.
Then filter the wood ash carefully, wait for the tea to cool down after brewing, filter it again, and pour it into the wood ash.
Then pour in lime, salt and alkali, take a small stick and stir it slowly.
Observe it while stirring. It shouldn’t be too dry or too wet. It should be just right if it looks like a thin paste.
Then take the duck eggs that have just been washed and dried, roll them in the stirred wood ash for a few rounds until they are evenly mixed, then take out the duck eggs wrapped in wood ash, and put them in the sawdust just taken to wrap them evenly.
After processing the remaining duck eggs in this way, find a clean jar, put all the duck eggs into the jar, seal it, and place it in the corner of the kitchen.
Seeing that everything was done, Su He stood up with satisfaction and patted the dust and sawdust on his hands.
That’s good. We just need to wait a few more days. If it is really successful, we can then serve new dishes to Qianweilou.
Then you can get more dividends.
When Su He thought of the dividends given to her by Qianweilou, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
Zhou Yuzhi is a good partner. She gives Su He a lot of dividends and asks Manager Zhao to review the accounts every month.
Seeing that Zhou Yuzhi was a knowledgeable person, Su He naturally paid more attention to the new dishes of Qianweilou and would introduce new dishes to Qianweilou from time to time.
Now Qianweilou is packed with customers every day and its business is booming. It has become the largest restaurant in Sifang Town.
Su He was making preserved eggs, and Xie was watching from the side. She saw Su He just stirring it, rolling the duck eggs and putting them into the jar.
Is this it?
"Is this done? It doesn't look that difficult, does it?"
"Besides, it won't stink if it's just left in the jar."
Xie couldn't help but mutter to herself, this isn't that difficult, after she looked at it once she felt like she could do it too.
Su He smiled softly and said to Xie:
"Mom, it's that simple. The key is the ingredients. They have to be adjusted in proportion. I've already made it. Just leave it for a few days."
"And I was very careful with the duck eggs just now. They didn't crack, so they won't stink. On the contrary, they will smell very good when they are cooked and eaten."
Today is Su He's first time trying to do it. If she succeeds, she will teach Xie and Luo, and then they will be able to do it themselves.
After hearing Su He say this, Xie felt relieved.
She still knows Su He's craftsmanship, and now most of the family's income comes from Su He's craftsmanship.
Moreover, most of the cooking skills at home were learned from Su He. It turned out that my cooking skills were really not good in comparison.
After being busy all night, Su He's hands were sticky with mud. He washed his hands, went into the house, got a set of clean clothes and went to wash up.
I have to go to bed early at night because I have to set up a stall in town tomorrow.
Early the next morning.
When Su He woke up, she saw that Xie, Luo and Xia Mei had already prepared the braised dishes and soup bases for the stall they would set up in town later in the kitchen.
Su He scratched his head embarrassedly. He had been busy all day yesterday and slept very deeply last night. He didn't even hear the noise of them getting up and busying themselves.
"Go wash your face. Breakfast is ready. You can leave after you eat."
Xie waved at Su He. They all knew that Su He must have been extremely tired yesterday, so everyone tried to move gently when they got up this morning.
I didn't wake her up, thinking of letting her sleep a little longer.
