The Little Lucky Girl.

Chapter 140 Preparations before the Opening of the Salted Duck Shop

On the fourth day of August, Su Zhiyuan, with his family eagerly waiting, followed his classmates, the dean, and the teacher in the academy to the provincial capital to take part in the imperial examination!

Every villager in Sujia Village is busy harvesting sweet potatoes! Another bumper harvest! This year, every villager in Yun'an County is beaming with joy!

The emperor also witnessed the sweet potato harvest! This year, every household made a lot of money selling sweet potatoes!

Therefore, the villagers in Yun'an County have basically solved the problem of food and clothing!

Su Qing's delicatessen shop is ready! Su Qing chose to open it in two days! Ask Uncle Xiao Da and Uncle Xiao Er to be in charge! Give each of the two uncles a 30% profit!

Today, after Su Qing finished her work, she took two bags of salted duck and a few bags of fish fillets and went to Grandma Xiao's house! When she arrived at the door of Grandma Xiao's house, Su Qing shouted from a distance: "Grandma, Grandpa"

"Oh, my dear grandson is here!"

"Yes, Grandma!"

"Come into the house quickly," Grandma Xiao took out some cakes for Su Qing to eat!

"Grandma, where are grandpa and uncles?"

"Everyone's going to the fields to plow the soil. It's time to plant winter wheat!"

"oh oh!"

"I'll get you the winter wheat seeds later. Don't use your old seeds!"

"Okay, okay, thank you, my dear grandson! Everything you gave me is good stuff! This year's potatoes, rice, and sweet potatoes are all a bumper crop! The autumn potatoes and autumn rice are growing well again! We can harvest them in October!"

"Grandma, why are you being so polite to me?"

"Grandma, you can cut up this salted duck and eat it for lunch later. And fry these fish fillets in oil over low heat! You can eat them once they're cooked!"

"Okay, thank you, my dear grandson!"

"Grandma, there's one more thing. I've opened a delicatessen in the county town, selling salted duck and fish fillets. I'd like to ask my eldest and second uncles to run it. They'll each get 30% of the profit! It's opening in two days! Do you think they'd like to go?"

"Okay, okay, wait for your uncle and second uncle to come back, I'll ask them!"

"Okay, Grandma! I'll be waiting for your reply!"

Su Qing chatted with Grandma Xiao for a while and then returned to the Su family’s own yard!

I went into my room and started writing the plan for the opening event two days later!

After finishing the proposal, it was lunchtime! After lunch, Su Qing took her servants to the backyard to fish out the salted duck eggs from the pickle jar, bringing them to the kitchen pot to cook! Once the eggs were cooked, they were fished out, dried, and rinsed with water. Then, they sealed each egg in plastic wrap! The individually wrapped salted duck eggs were ready! Su Qing then placed the sealed eggs in a basket, waiting to bring them to the shop the next day.

At noon at Grandma Xiao’s dinner table, Grandpa Xiao was eating the salted duck and fish fillets sent by Su Qing, and he felt very happy!

"The salted duck and fish fillet my granddaughter invented are really delicious!"

"That's right, everything my grandson cooks is delicious!"

"There's one more thing I need to discuss with the eldest and second eldest!"

"What's the matter, old lady?"

"Qingbao has opened another shop in the county town, selling salted duck, fish fillets, and salted duck eggs! I'd like to ask the eldest and second sons to manage it! The eldest and second sons each get 30% of the profit! The good grandson will only take 40%! Do you think you'll go, eldest son? Give me your reply today! The shop will open in two days!"

"Mom, I'll go!" Uncle Xiao and Uncle Xiao said in unison!

"Okay, then go tell your good grandson after lunch!"

"OK,"

Uncle Xiao Da and Uncle Xiao Er were very happy. They finally had a proper livelihood. Now their daughter-in-law and niece were making a lot of money. As grown men, they couldn't even stand up straight! They felt like gigolos!

After lunch, Grandma Xiao and her family came over! The housekeeper opened the door and quickly welcomed Grandma Xiao and her family to Su Qing's yard!

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, and second uncle, you are here!" Su Qing hurried to greet them!

"Yes! My dear grandson, come here and give grandpa a hug! I haven't seen my dear grandson for some time!" Su Qing threw herself into Grandpa Xiao's arms, and Grandpa Xiao picked her up and held her in his arms! He could never get enough of looking at his own dear grandson!

The group sat down in the small pavilion in the yard, and Su Qing asked Chuntao to wash some fruit!

As soon as she sat down, Grandma Xiao said, "My dear grandson, I've already told your eldest and second uncles about letting them manage the shop! They're willing to go!"

"That's great, Grandma! Then let my eldest and second uncles come to the shop tomorrow to take a look! We'll put all the goods out tomorrow and open the shop the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay, your second uncle and I will go to the shop with you tomorrow!"

"Okay, Uncle, Second Uncle can close the shop at the end of the afternoon. You can stay at Aunt and Second Aunt's place! Or you can go home! It's a bit tiring to go back and forth every day!"

"Don't worry about the winter wheat planting at home, uncle! I'll have my servants go and help grandpa finish it! I'll bring the winter wheat seeds back to you later! The yield per mu will be higher with the seeds I give you!"

"Okay, thank you Qingbao!"

"We're all family, you're welcome!"

"Good grandson, let's go back!"

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, and second uncle, wait a moment!"

After Su Qing finished speaking, she went to pack some salted duck eggs for Grandma Xiao to take back and try! She also took out two sacks of winter wheat seeds from the space!

When Su Qing came out of the house, Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao, Uncle Xiao and Second Uncle Xiao saw that Su Qing was holding a big bag in his mouth and sacks in both hands!

Everyone stared with wide eyes at this funny scene, "Oh, my dear grandson is carrying so many things!" It was Grandpa Xiao who reacted quickly and hurried to take over!

"It's okay, Grandpa! I'm plenty strong! There are salted duck eggs in this bag, Grandpa and Grandma, take them back and try them!

These two sacks contain winter wheat seeds. Let your eldest and second uncles each carry one sack back!"

"Okay, okay, thank you, my good grandson! Let's go back!"

Su Qing watched Grandpa Xiao and his family leave! Then she went to the backyard to make preserved eggs! There were too many duck eggs in the backyard!

Preserved eggs, also known as preserved eggs, are a traditional food that can be prepared in a variety of ways, but the basic principles are similar. Here's a simple and practical recipe for preserved eggs:

?Prepare materials?: 30 fresh duck eggs, tea (black tea or green tea), preserved egg powder, quicklime, baking soda, wood ash, salt, and rice husks.

?Cleaning duck eggs?: Clean the duck eggs, make sure there are no cracks, then dry them and set aside.

To make pickled lime: Crush the quicklime into a powder and mix it with baking soda and wood ash. If the lime is in lumps, sprinkle it with water beforehand to break it down into a powder.

Boil salt water: Fry salt in a pot until it turns slightly yellow, then add water and black tea and boil.

"Mixed mud": Pour boiled salt water into the mixture of lime, alkali and wood ash, and stir it into a sticky mud.

"Egg wrapping": Coat the duck eggs evenly with mud, making sure each duck egg is covered with mud, and then roll them on rice husks to increase friction.

Sealed Curing: Place the eggs, coated in mud, in an airtight container and seal with paper or vegetable leaves to prevent air leakage. Curing should take approximately one month in a cool, dark place. Curing will be faster in warmer weather.

?Cleaning and storage?: After the marinating is completed, clean the mud on the outside and store it at room temperature before eating!
