A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!
Chapter 44 Sesame Paste Eggs
When it was time to eat, Madam Liu specially made plain porridge today, and at Lin He'er's suggestion, she also made thin pancakes!
When the two men in the family sat down at the table to eat, they noticed that the meal was rather simple. Each person had a bowl of plain porridge, a plate of thin pancakes, a dish of shredded scallions, and three eggs.
"Honey, why is the food so bland today?" Wen Dazhuang hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking his wife.
Although the family's financial situation was rather ordinary, their daily meals, even vegetarian dishes, were always prepared in a variety of ways by their daughter-in-law. Why did the meal today feel so perfunctory? Wen Dazhuang wondered if the family was out of money.
Liu glanced at her husband; men are so obtuse, they didn't even notice that the eggs on the table were any different today.
What's so different about the eggs? The only difference is that my wife rarely boils these eggs to eat; she saves them to sell for money. Today she boiled three—does that count as a dish?
Wen Dazhuang, somewhat annoyed, reached for an egg, cracked it open, and prepared to put it in his mouth. He then noticed the egg's color was off. Had he gone to all that trouble to cook an egg, only to end up with a bad one?
Is this egg rotten?
"Dad, the eggs aren't bad. These are the sesame paste eggs Mom made. Why don't you try them and see how they taste?" Lin He'er kindly reminded her father-in-law, who looked somewhat depressed and aggrieved after sitting down at the table.
Ah! Our homemade pickled sesame paste eggs are ready to eat! Is this what it is?
Yes, that's the egg I boiled today. Just eat it, what can I do to you? My daughter-in-law and I tasted it right away! Liu Shi was making a fuss over an egg in her husband's hand. She was really spineless!
After listening to his wife, Wen Dazhuang took the egg and was about to eat it when a hand suddenly reached out from the side and his wife snatched the egg away.
You're like a wild boar swallowing corn whole! How can you possibly taste anything if you take a bite like that? Look at how your son eats it!
Wen Yuning was just about to use chopsticks to break the egg in half when suddenly something resembling oil started to leak out. She quickly moved her hand away, letting the yellow liquid drip into the porridge bowl!
"Wow, oil is oozing out of this egg!" Wen Dazhuang was quite surprised to see oil oozing out of the egg his son had cracked open.
Seeing her husband's utterly unprepared and timid manner, Liu couldn't bear to watch him act so dramatically all night! Even when she herself ate these eggs, he wasn't this irresponsible.
Wen Yuning noticed the oil in the egg and, out of curiosity, picked up a piece of yolk with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
Mmm, delicious! The flavor is so rich and pure, my mouth is filled with the aroma of oil, it tastes really good. After eating the yolk, I naturally want to try the slightly yellow egg white.
Hmm, it's a bit salty, and it's slightly hard and chewy when you bite into it. This food is indeed very suitable to accompany porridge.
Seeing how delicious his son's food was, Wen Dazhuang also learned his son's method and made it for himself.
Mmm, delicious! It smells so good, it's just so delicious, I can't find any other words to describe it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could tell from the reactions of the two men in the family after eating the eggs that they both liked them.
Lin He'er: Husband and father, don't just eat it plain. Add some scallions to the pancake, crush the egg inside, and roll it up together. It will taste even better!
The two of them rolled up the pancakes according to their daughter-in-law's (daughter-in-law's) method. Taking a bite of the egg mixed with scallions was a completely different experience! After finishing one egg, the two of them unconsciously reached for the last egg in the bowl.
"Give it to our son. You're wasting your brain by not studying. You don't need to eat so much." Seeing her husband trying to take the eggs from their son, Liu Shi grabbed her chopsticks and tapped her husband's hand.
"Ouch, you've really hit me hard, you woman!" Wen Dazhuang rubbed his hand where his wife had hit him. "I don't waste my brains, I still waste my body! Farming is hard work, I need to eat well! You brat, you're even fighting with your dad for an egg!" Wen Dazhuang immediately protested as soon as the egg was in his son's hand.
Alright, alright, how old are you, still fighting with a child for food? Mrs. Liu really couldn't bear to look at her husband.
While her mother and daughter-in-law ate, Wen Yuning took the egg, cut it in half, and put it into their porridge bowls.
"Oh dear, Sanlang, just eat it. No need to give it to your mother. I'll eat it myself." Seeing that her son hadn't eaten any himself but had given her half of the egg, Liu felt incredibly comforted.
Look at your son, then look at yourself. Learn from your son how to treat your wife well.
"Fine, fine!" Wen Dazhuang fell silent. He'd lost count of how many times his wife had complained about him that night. This woman was truly someone who didn't want her husband after having a son!
The family enjoyed a lively meal together. Afterwards, everyone unanimously gave the sesame sauce eggs a perfect score. Now, the next step is to sit down and discuss how to price these eggs!
He'er thinks this sesame paste egg should be sold for a reasonable price. Now, whenever Liu doesn't understand something, her first thought is to ask her daughter-in-law.
Mother, how much do you sell a regular egg for? Lin He'er had never eaten eggs since she transmigrated to ancient times. When her family was poor, they never ate eggs. Even when they became wealthy, she never thought of eating eggs. She had never really paid attention to the price of eggs.
We usually take them to the market to sell, one penny each.
One copper coin each, that's not a high price, but it's reasonable. How about we sell our sesame paste eggs for three copper coins each?
Three coins each? Isn't that too cheap? Liu felt the price her daughter-in-law quoted was a bit low!
Three copper coins for an egg isn't cheap, but the price is indeed reasonable. Wen Yuning thought the price his wife gave him was quite reasonable. The ingredients for this sesame paste egg weren't expensive; the pork cracklings cost very little, and only a little salt and a small amount of white wine were used, so the cost price wasn't high.
Eggs aren't a particularly expensive food. The main reason we're making them is to make them affordable for everyone. I remember my family used to buy chickens and ducks in large quantities to raise, so naturally we'll be focusing on low profit margins and high sales volume.
"My husband is right!" Lin He'er hadn't expected Wen Yuning to think the same way she did. Indeed, educated people are clever; they can see the long-term implications of everything.
Mom, we're going to make sesame paste eggs in large quantities to sell from now on. We'll mainly follow the strategy of small profits and quick turnover. Each egg only makes a penny after deducting costs, which doesn't seem like much, but what if we sell a hundred, a thousand, or even more?
Selling a hundred, a thousand? Or even more?
Well, Liu began to think along with her daughter-in-law's words. One hundred eggs could earn one hundred coins, one thousand eggs could earn one thousand coins, and even more eggs could be sold later, which was a number she couldn't even imagine. As long as this business lasted, even a single coin could accumulate into a lot!
Hehe, okay, okay, let's go with the price He'er suggested. Just thinking about how we'll make money as long as the chickens lay eggs, Liu Shi was already dreaming of getting rich!
"So how are we going to sell these eggs?" Wen Dazhuang asked excitedly.
Lin He'er hadn't really had time to think carefully about how to sell these eggs. Should she take them out to sell at a stall herself, or supply them directly to restaurants or snack stalls?
First, they took some eggs to the embroidery shop in town to inquire whether the owner offered this service. Seeing that his wife seemed to have no idea how to sell the food, Wen Yuning offered a suggestion!
"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that? I should ask the Xu family if they want to do this business." Reminded by her husband, Lin He'er was so excited she wanted to slap her forehead!
"Ugh, not again," Wen Yuning thought, stopping his wife before she could even speak. "I've told you before, don't keep hitting your head like that. If you really make yourself stupid, am I going to have to raise a stupid wife?"
Uh… what are you saying! Dad and Mom are still here! Lin He'er was incredibly embarrassed when Wen Yuning grabbed her hand in front of the elders. Doesn't this person care about the context these days?
Hehe, hehe, Mother didn't see anything, you guys continue, continue. Seeing her son holding her daughter-in-law's hand, Liu couldn't help but want to tease the young couple.
"You two can discuss the business together. I'm feeling really sleepy right now, so I'm going back inside to rest!" With that, she turned and hurried back inside.
Ah! I didn't see it either. Wen Dazhuang, seeing how quickly his daughter-in-law returned to the room, instantly understood her intention. He was quite tired from working all day, so he decided to go to sleep.
Lin He'er...
Wen Yuning...
