Madam, please give me some advice

Chapter 33 Pickled Duck Eggs

"mother"

Ji Caifu saw Ji Xingle and said happily, "You're back? Have you had breakfast?"

"ate"

"Mom, you, Auntie, and Auntie Hua go have breakfast first. I'll show you something good later."

"Okay!" The three of them responded happily after hearing this.

Ji Xingle said hello to his two fathers and two younger brothers and went back to his room. He took down the backpack, put the strong liquor used to stew the duck eggs into a ceramic jar, and also took three bottles of Maotai and three small cups, and took the salt and pepper into the room.

Ji Xingle came out with the food ready. They just finished their breakfast. He excitedly handed them three bottles of wine and three glasses. He looked at them expectantly and said, "Open it and smell it first?"

The three of them were immediately attracted by Ji Xingle's bottle. It was very delicate, and the seal on the bottle mouth was also very special. It looked very expensive. And this transparent cup was also the first time they had seen it. It was so novel. The cup was too small, right? What could such a small cup do?

When they heard Ji Xingle say to smell it, they didn't know what she was saying. They looked at each other and laughed. It looked like a good thing and the child would not possibly cheat them.

Ji Caifu took the lead and pulled the cork out for a while, but couldn't get it out. He looked at Ji Xingle for help...

Seeing Ji Caifu's embarrassment, Ji Xingle laughed and joked, "Hahahaha! Mom, let me do it. We are worthy of being mother and daughter. The first time I saw this bottle, I did the same as you. I tried my best to pull it open, but couldn't.

Mom, look carefully, reach for this red lid and turn it inward.

“Look, it’s coming out now, isn’t it?”

"Isn't this amazing?" When Ji Caifu saw the design of the lid, she found it was completely different from the wine lids she had seen before. She didn't expect the wine bottle to be so well designed and even the lid was so special.

As soon as the lid was opened, Ji Xingle shook the wine.

"Hmm~"

The three of them made intoxicated sounds at the same time.

“Such a strong aroma of wine~”

"Sister Le, is this the strong liquor you mentioned?" Ji Caibao said excitedly; "It smells so good! I haven't even drunk it yet! I feel like I'm going to get drunk."

"Hehe! This is also a strong liquor, but it's not used to pickle duck eggs!

This wine is called Maotai, but it's very expensive. I'll let you smell it first to satisfy your craving. When mother and Aunt Hua come back from selling food in town, I'll make you a big meal and drink it with it." Ji Xingle said with a smile.

Because life is important, the three of them swallowed their saliva and reluctantly closed the lid.

Ji Caifu and Ji Shenghua prepared the things they wanted to sell, loaded them onto the carriage, and went to town.

"Aunt, where is your red soil? Give it to me. I want to make delicious salted duck eggs now." Ji Xingle looked at Ji Caibao and asked.

"It's in the corner! Your aunt brought it yesterday and I put it in the corner." The nanny replied from the side.

"Okay, get a big barrel."

Ji Xingle went to the kitchen and brought back a bucket of boiling hot water. He poured the red soil into the wooden barrel, then added water, fine salt, and peppercorns, stirred them evenly, and let them cool.

He asked his nanny to bring a large clean bowl and pour the wine into it.

Ji Caibao, his two fathers, and his two younger brothers looked at Ji Xingle, who was pouring more wine and adding salt, fine salt, with their mouths twitching.

"Aunt, let's move the duck eggs here first. Then, put them in the white wine. When the soil is cool, put them in the mud and let the mud cover the duck eggs. Then, take them out."

"Good, good, good." Ji Caibao was excited! These were all treasures that could make money.

"A thousand duck eggs! Do we have that many ceramic jars at home to store them?" Ji Xingle asked

"Daddy, is there anyone selling large ceramic jars in the village?"

"Yes, yes. Aunt Li in the village makes pottery jars. We bought the ceramic jars we use to pickle pickles from her." said Zhao's father.

"Okay, second father, brother, and aunt, you guys go ahead and I'll go buy some ceramic jars with grandpa."

"it is good......"

"What are Le Jie'er and her daughter doing at the Fortune House?"

"Hey! Let's go to Aunt Zhao's house and buy some ceramic jars. We need them urgently."

"Oh! Go! Go! Don't delay."

"Yeah, let's talk again when we have time." Grandpa Zhao replied with a smile.

Along the way, he met several people who greeted him in a friendly manner. Ji Xingle kept smiling all the way, and his face was almost stiff from smiling.

Finally we arrived at Aunt Zhao's house. There were many ceramic jars of different sizes placed at the door. It was obvious what the family did for a living.

As soon as the grandpa arrived at the door, he called inside, "Is Aunt Zhao home?"

"coming!"

Aunt Zhao asked with a smile, "Caifu, what's the matter?"

"I want to buy some large ceramic jars. Do you have any?" Zhao asked.

"Yes, yes, come in and see which one you want."

"it is good."

Finally, Ji Xingle picked out six extra-large ceramic water jars, each costing 13 wen, six medium-sized ceramic jars, each costing 8 wen, and six small ceramic jars, each costing 5 wen. In total, he spent 156 wen.

Aunt Zhao took the money, put the jars on the ox cart neatly and tied it up. Because the jars were too big and there were too many of them, they couldn't be put on all at once, so they had to be delivered in several batches.

Ji Xingle and his grandpa followed behind the ox cart...

A few minutes later~

“Come and be careful with the threshold, okay, just put it inside, just put it here.

thank you! "

Aunt Zhao smiled and waved her hand, then walked back with the ox cart and continued moving the ceramic jars!

Ji Xingle then discovered that there were several more people in his yard, obediently frying duck eggs with red mud. They were all Ji Caibao's daughters and sons.

"Sister Le..."

"Hello, brothers and sisters!"

There was a girl who was a little older than Ji Xingle who was not there, so Ji Xingle asked Ji Caibao, "Aunt, where is Sister Xin?"

"She's weeding in the fields with your grandmother and the others!

I called the remaining little ones over here.”

"Okay, I'll make some more food later and ask grandma and the others to come over for lunch."

"Well, it's up to you!" Ji Caibao didn't have time to care about Ji Xingle now. She was only concerned about her duck eggs!

"Father, Second Father, let's clean the jar first and dry it later."

"it is good......"

When Aunt Zhao was transporting the second batch of ceramic jars, the three of them had just finished washing the first batch of ceramic jars.

The three of them continued washing. The yard was not too small, but after placing a few vats there, it seemed a bit crowded.

Finally, Ji Xingle put the unused ceramic jar in the room.

Tsk tsk tsk...

We need to expand the house, and we will also need a place to store the duck eggs, so we need to hurry up and buy the land.

Ji Xingle took out six salted duck eggs and packed them. He also had some small change on him, so he said goodbye to his two fathers and went out.

"Is the village head aunt at home?"

"Yes, come in."

Ji; "Village Chief's Aunt."

Ouch! The village chief said with a smile, "Is it Sister Le? What do you want to see me about?"

Ji Xingle handed the item to the village chief and said, "It's like this, Aunt Village Chief, I want to ask if there is a large piece of vacant land in the village where I can build a house? I want to buy it."

"What?" The village chief thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Ji Xingle in disbelief.

"I asked if there was a large piece of vacant land. I want to buy some land." Ji Xingle repeated.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes, but buying land is not cheap!

So, you have enough money now?" the village chief asked in disbelief.

"Auntie, please open it and take a look at what I gave you. Cut it in half." Ji Xingle kept it a secret.
