Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Although Yang's mother has never made money, she still calculates the profit and cost. These are eggs. Isn't the price set by her daughter too low?

She reminded him, "Buying lime and alkali costs money, and eggs are not cheap either. How can we make money?"

Xiuying didn't plan to use all the silver to buy the raw materials needed to make preserved eggs. The wood ash used to wrap the preserved eggs could be made by cutting down cypress trees in the mountains and burning them into ashes. There was no need to buy it. Quicklime and alkali were sold in Yangliu Town, and a large bag cost only ten cents.

Just buy some noodles with these two things, and buy them in the supermarket from now on, including chicken eggs and duck eggs. The cheapest imported chicken eggs are big and only four yuan per catty. Duck eggs are more expensive, but only five yuan per catty.

Now I have more than a hundred chickens and ducks at home as a cover, so it is easier to get the chicken and duck eggs from the mall.

Yang's mother is mainly worried about the cost of chicken and duck eggs.

Xiuying immediately calculated: "Mom, it takes 100g of slaked lime and 100g of alkali to wrap 120 eggs. A sack of ten kilograms of these two things only costs ten cents. As for chicken and duck eggs, I have to pick up at least eggs a day.

So no matter how you look at it, we're making a profit. You can get the eggs for making preserved eggs from me. I have so many eggs at home that I can't make them all."

Mother Yang looked at Yang Xiuying with surprise in her eyes. After her daughter separated from the family, she was not only able to make money, but also had a sharp mind. If she picked up 100 eggs a day, and sold duck eggs for three cents and chicken eggs for two cents, if she made half the profit, that would be 250 cents.

Oh my god! That’s two hundred and fifty coins a day! No, she can’t take advantage of her daughter. Although her daughter can collect a hundred eggs a day, the chickens and ducks are also raised by her daughter with great effort.

Mother Yang looked at Xiuying and said, "I'll give you half of the money I make from selling the chickens and ducks. You've spent quite a bit of money on buying chickens and ducks, and the wheat bran they eat every day costs quite a bit too."

Xiuying didn't expect that Yang's mother would think so carefully, even considering buying chickens and ducks and their food for her.

She really wanted to help the original owner's family: "Mom, even if I don't sell preserved eggs, I will buy those chickens and ducks. Now the chickens and ducks are grown up. Lao San and Awang go to the mountains to cut grass and feed them with some wheat bran. It doesn't cost much."

Mother Yang pretended to be angry and said, "It doesn't cost much, but it's still money. I don't need to feed the chickens and ducks, I can just come and get them. And the ingredients for wrapping preserved eggs are also readily available.

Even if I give you half of the profit from selling preserved eggs, you can still earn more than a hundred coins a day, and one and a half taels of silver a month. If you don't agree to take half of the profit, then I won't sell these preserved eggs."

Xiuying held her forehead with her hand. When this old lady gets angry, she is so stubborn that even ten oxen can't pull her back. This is the first time she has seen someone complain about having too much money.

She was sure that this novel food, preserved eggs, would be very popular, and Yang's mother would earn more than one and a half taels of silver a month.

In order to make Yang's mother feel at ease about making preserved eggs, she did not refuse anymore.

"Mom, leave the cooking to Wang Sao and Li Sao. I'll prepare the ingredients for making preserved eggs. Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you how to make them.

After I teach you, take the eggs back and make them so they don’t go bad.”

Yang's mother nodded repeatedly. Chicken eggs and duck eggs are precious and must not be wrong. If they are wrong, not only will the food be wasted, but also her daughter's money.

She must not do wrong.

"Mom, cut this preserved egg into pieces and add green peppers. It's delicious when eaten cold. You can also use it to make porridge. It's called preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Eating preserved eggs in the summer can clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

You can also make vegetable soup and tofu soup.

Anyway, there are so many ways to eat preserved eggs, and there's even a delicious dish called three-color steamed egg. It's not only delicious but also beautiful."

Mother Yang listened carefully to the various ways of eating preserved eggs. She didn't know when her daughter became so knowledgeable about food. She had never heard of these strange ways of eating.

But I had never heard of preserved eggs, so naturally I didn’t know how to eat them. It must be my daughter who was very capable.

She nodded and said, "Mom will definitely learn how to make preserved eggs from you."

When it was time for lunch, the aroma of corn cakes came from the kitchen.

Xiuying bought the cornmeal in the mall. The corn cakes made from it are golden in color, fluffy and soft, and look good and taste good.

There are crystal oil beads floating on the vegetable soup cooked with lard, and small pieces of lard can be seen in the soup. There are more lard than vegetables.

Oh my god, this is definitely broth!

Who in Futian Village dares to eat like this!

When other people make soup with lard residue, they just put a few pieces of it as a token of appreciation.

Everyone was very satisfied with the lunch. Xiuying didn't invite everyone to work! She invited everyone to celebrate the New Year!

Some families don’t even dare to add so much lard residue during the Chinese New Year!

The aunts who helped prepare lunch were told off by their husbands when they returned home that day, with the exception of Aunt Wu and Aunt Sun, whose husbands had died.

Butcher Li: "My dear wife, you put so much lard in the soup you made at noon. Does Xiuying know?"

Aunt Li was tired after a busy day. She half-lying on the bed, she glanced at Butcher Li and said, "Sister Xiuying is such a kind person. I only put two spoons of oil in it at first, thinking that a little oil and gas would be enough. Unexpectedly, Sister Xiuying saw it and asked me to put more.

She said that everyone had worked hard to help build the house, so she wanted to give them a better meal. As she spoke, she poured half a can of lard into the soup.

The other families were the same as Aunt Li's. Early the next morning, several cooking aunts came with a lot of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Aunt Li's family also brought their own millet.

Mrs. Sun brought the vegetables and beans grown at home.

They found Xiuying to discuss what to eat for lunch today.

Mrs. Sun brought a whole basket of beans. "How about we make some beans stewed with rice for lunch? Just stew them with millet."

Aunt Li brought the millet. Before Xiuying could answer, Aunt Li rushed to answer, "Okay, let's stew beans with millet for lunch."

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "When I think of the smell of braised beans, my mouth is watering. We have come to Xiuying's place to enjoy a feast."

Xiuying agreed, "Okay, let's make beans and millet stew for lunch, and then cook some meat soup. What do you think?"

Why wouldn't this be possible? Yesterday it was lard and vegetables, today it's a real meat broth! But with so many people, how much meat should be put in?

Mrs. Sun asked anxiously, "Is this okay for eating?"

They brought millet and beans to help Xiuying save food, so how could they do more harm than good?

Xiuying smiled and said, "I went to the city a few days ago and bought some meat. I sealed it in a bamboo tube and put it in a mountain spring. I'm afraid it will go bad if I don't eat it soon."

The lean meat I bought was cooked for the girls. As their lives got better, the girls gradually didn't crave fat meat so much anymore and only ate lean meat. The fat meat happened to be left over, so I cooked it for everyone this time.
