After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Da Zhuang: "Mom, I feel that Third Aunt and her family must have put other things in it, otherwise the food wouldn't be so delicious. Think about it, if it was really easy to make, we wouldn't have gotten the chance. Besides, Third Aunt and her family are still buying eggs from the senior year, which means their business is very good."

"My dear son, when will you help others to become more ambitious and destroy your own prestige? That's why we need to study it."

"Little sister, what Da Zhuang said is right. I smelled it and there is a strong smell here, but I can't tell what it is. I don't understand. But I smelled some aroma of aniseed in it. I can only distinguish one or two specific ones. I can't go into details, but the method is very simple. Wrap the egg with mud and then with rice straw ash."

"Mom, this isn't that easy. Let's first try a few eggs with mud and straw ash. As for the others, let Da Zhuang go and find out. We may have offended them, but Da Zhuang hasn't offended them, so there won't be any complaints from Da Zhuang and his children if they go to him."

"Mom, I don't want to go. Third Aunt is very powerful now, and Da Niu, Er Niu and San Niu are no longer as easy to bully as before. Now the boys in the village don't dare to bully them. And what if I go and get caught? It's so embarrassing."

"Okay, Xiaomei, stop talking. I'll go, so don't let the kids go."

"Da Li, can you go? I can just follow them. They've made so many preserved eggs that they're out of ingredients. Now they've bought so many eggs, they'll definitely have to buy more. What's there to be afraid of? And if I follow them, the road is wide and we can all go our own way. It's not against the law, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Okay, that's settled then. Whatever you say is what it is. You can make your own arrangements. I won't take care of these things. We'll just wait for your good news at home.

"Mom, I just saw Da Zhuang hanging around outside our house for a long time. I don't know what he was looking at."

Sanniu: "Brother, when you mentioned this, it reminded me that Dazhuang and Auntie were also hanging around our house before. At that time, we were all making preserved eggs together. I was wondering if they wanted to learn how to make preserved eggs from us, and wanted to learn the craft and steal the recipe."

"Don't worry, you guys. Even if they know it's made of mud, it doesn't matter. Knowing it's made of rice straw ash is useless. These are things that anyone with a discerning eye can see. It's something that everyone can do. The point is that I put something in the mud, and there are some little tricks. Even if you can imitate the preserved egg, you still need to have the right taste. The preserved egg with a bad taste is very sticky and very unpalatable."

The old mansion was busy every day, studying preserved eggs every day. Many eggs were wasted every day, which made Mrs. Wang very sad. Those were eggs, and eggs were also precious food. Ordinary people were reluctant to eat them at all. They would take them to the town to exchange for seasonings or silver to maintain their family's livelihood expenses, or only women who had given birth could eat a few extravagantly. But it was impossible to eat them every day. If you eat one more, you will lose some copper coins.

After more than half a month, the Wang family slowly made many batches of preserved eggs. The taste of each batch was different. Some eggs were not even made into preserved eggs. There were hundreds of eggs wasted. Every day, Mrs. Wang was very angry.

"If you really can't make it, then don't do it anymore. Look at how many eggs you've lost. Look, there are at least hundreds of them. That's 300 copper coins. Even if you can't sell them for 300, you can still get 200."

Liu Xiaomei said, "Mom, I told you this before. It may not succeed. Even if it does, it will definitely waste a lot of eggs. Mom, you have to know that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. You can't want it and not want to sacrifice it at the same time."

The two of them were arguing angrily here, and the quarrel was fierce.

"Mom, Xiaomei, look, come quickly, this batch of preserved eggs is ready, they are just like the ones made by Yuntao and the others, crystal clear and very beautiful. They look great, we are sure they will sell well this time."

"Da Li, let's try it first to see if it tastes the same as Yun Tao's."

As soon as Xiaomei finished speaking, Old Lady Wang said, "No, you can't try it. One preserved egg costs eight cents. If you eat one more, you will lose eight cents. Besides, eggs are not cheap now. They are precious. Don't eat them now. Take them to the town to sell for money tomorrow and hand them in after you sell them."

"Wang Dali shouted unhappily: "Mom, you don't allow me to eat this, you don't allow me to eat that, and you ask me to hand it all over. You should be reasonable. These foods are not for display. What's the use of just looking good? Let's try them to see if they are delicious. If they are not delicious, won't people laugh at our Wang family if we sell them in town?"

After Wang Dali finished speaking, he ignored Old Lady Wang and peeled a preserved egg and started tasting it. Liu Xiaomei looked at Wang Dali's distorted face and knew that the preserved egg was not tasty and did not meet the standard for sale.

"Xiao Mei, this preserved egg looks good but tastes bad, what should we do? What went wrong? I saw Yun Tao make it this way. The steps are exactly the same, and you can see it clearly. It's just mud mixed with star anise water and wrapped in rice straw ash, nothing else. It's really weird, what went wrong, the taste is a million miles away from his."

Daniel: "Mom, did you know that Lao Wang's family also tried to make preserved eggs? They tried for more than a month but they just couldn't make it. I heard that they made preserved eggs later, but the taste was wrong. It was not as delicious as ours, and the preserved eggs they made were very tight."

"Daniu, do you think that preserved eggs can be made with only spices, water, mud, and rice straw ash? There are some tips in it. I put your mother's exclusive top-secret recipe. No one can know it, except those who are proficient in these materials. But there is a ratio. If the preserved eggs are not made well, they will be very unpalatable. Your mother and I have planned it well. Our family can continue to make them in the future. Even if they imitate the taste, it will not be as good as ours. I am not worried. If they want to do it secretly, let them do it secretly. Even if an egg costs 2 cents per pound, it is not cheap after long-term experiments. The Wang family may not be so generous. They are a stingy family."

"Mom, you're right. They had a big fight over this matter, and now the whole family is in a mess. We have lost more than one tael of silver in the past month."

"Da Li, this is your good wife. Now you dare to talk back to me. I will tear you, little whore, to pieces."

"Mom, you have to have a conscience. When we did it, the whole family was here, and you all agreed. Now that it didn't work out, you blame me. This kind of thing is inherently risky. If it succeeds, we can all share the benefits. If it fails, at least we can afford the loss. Besides, it's not possible for our family to get so many good things. We can succeed in everything. You are Yuntao's mother-in-law, and you are so famous. You should go to Yuntao and ask for the recipe directly. You want me to try making chicken feathers at home all day."

"Yes, mother, what Xiaomei said is right. No matter how you divide the family and break up the relationship, you are still Yuntao's mother-in-law. It is normal for you to go."

"When Old Lady Wang heard what they said, she was so angry that her heart ached. You shameless things, how dare you say such words, my God. You all know that we have separated and severed our relationship, and you are too embarrassed to ask me, an old woman, to go. Besides, the current Yun Tao is not the weak and bullied Yun Tao in the past. The current Yun Tao is very powerful and dares to hit me with a stick. If you want to go, go by yourselves. I won't go. Also, this loss will be charged to your eldest wife. If your eldest wife gets any benefits in the future, they will be deducted from your eldest wife."
