Chapter Eighty-Six: Songhua Eggs

The seasonings have been gradually prepared, and the condiments commonly used in Sichuan cuisine, such as tempeh, soy sauce, and bean paste, have been catalyzed by quasi-industrial methods.

Of course, the taste is far from what came out of the pure handicraft workshop for three or four years, but compared to the industrial products of later generations, it is barely qualified.

Stir-fry some caramel, add soy sauce to boil to thicken, and then put it in a utensil to steam, this is dark soy sauce.

The watercress is mixed with dogwood sauce and fermented, which is similar to the bean paste in later generations.

Su oil is ready to turn over the new dogwood sauce, try it with soda ash, or the effect will be much better than lime.

Thinking of this, a lot of experimental equipment should also be put on the agenda, and the in-law told himself to stay at home honestly, so he could just finish these things.

With pickled ginger, cooking wine and bean paste, stir-fried chicken offal, a traditional classic Sichuan dish, soon came out under Su You's hands.

However, many kitchen guys were classified into experimental equipment by the old uncle, which caused Su You to turn over in the warehouse for a long time.

Gastrodia slices were added to the steam-pot chicken, and the famous Yunnan dish Gastrodia steam-pot chicken also came out.

The peas in the vegetable field behind the ancestral hall were growing very well, and Su You went to pinch some pea tips again.

Then steam a piece of preserved pork head meat, fry two seasonal vegetables, and soon set a table.

The old man took out a bottle of Yongchun dew and said, "The child is filial, and a few of our old ones will drink it today!" ”

Considering that the Song people also had an adaptation process to high-grade wine, this bottle of wine is a fruit wine made with plum and cinnamon sauce, and the degree is much lower than the original degree.

The rose-colored wine syrup was poured into the jade porcelain cup, and several villagers were immediately restrained, which was not something that ordinary villagers could enjoy.

Su You brought out another plate of three fresh dishes made with crispy meat, croquettes and belly strips, and said with a smile: "It's not less trouble for the village, third brother, fifth brother and sixth brother, today is an apology to a few people." ”

The third brother pulled Su You to sit down: "The oil baby has a good temperament, no matter how you say it, he is smiling, everyone used to have short eyesight, not to mention anything else, there are really a lot of fish in my field, Pi Wa, you say you can have thirty or fifty catties?" ”

The yield of thirty or fifty catties of Suyou is already very satisfied, and the rice carp is generally about one catty, plus other miscellaneous fish, thirty or fifty catties per acre of land, in fact, it is picked up for nothing.

The fifth brother also smiled: "Bad is also a good thing!" Make up for two bad meals in the morning and evening, the poultry and livestock at home are strong, especially the ducks, this year's festival, there are a lot of fish and ducks! ”

The sixth brother said: "That's it, and this duck egg, as long as the bad ones are enough...... Oh my God, chickens and ducks are so good at laying eggs! ”

Speaking of this, Su You remembered: "Ouch, a few old brothers drink first, and I'll add a snack!" ”

There was a basket in the kitchen with a bunch of gray balls in it.

Knock open the gray ball, and inside is a duck egg.

Su You quickly peeled a plate and came out: "The old uncle said that there are more eggs in the village now, and I wrote to ask if there is a way to save them." This is called Songhua Egg, which can be stored for several months, but it may not be suitable for some people's tastes, so let's try it. ”

The pine flower egg was poured with garlic, chili oil, and soy sauce, and several old men tasted it, and one of them said, "Yes, there are really pine flowers on it!" It looks weird and pleasant, but it's still more delicious than salted eggs! ”

The other rolled his eyes: "Sixth, you have a good life, right?" How much salt does that thing cost?! ”

Su You said with a smile: "Brother is right, compared with salted eggs, the advantage of Songhua eggs is to use grass lime lime." But what the sixth brother said is right, I was negligent in this matter, at the end of the year, this year's marinated meat, pickled fish, and really can't do without salt. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and said to the old uncle: "Bagong, why don't you count the amount of salt that each family needs for the New Year, and we will go to Meishan City to pull it over at one time?" This is much more cost-effective than buying in bulk. I foster two mule carts in the city. ”

The fifth brother said: "Piwa is capable, it has only been half a year since she entered the city, and she has already done two mule carts!" ”

The old uncle frowned: "One person brings more than ten catties at a time, and the government wants to ask the ...... of guilt."

Su You laughed: "Then we will go to thirty people at a time, and by the way, we will buy New Year's goods together!" ”

The sixth brother hurriedly waved his hand: "Oil baby!" You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, what kind of New Year's goods do you have! Besides, it all costs money! Who is rich in the village now? Uh, except for you......"

Su You held his head with his hand, and he really had this problem.

The old uncle walked with a few old brothers: "The oil baby has just come back, let the baby relax for a few days, come to eat vegetables and eat vegetables......"

Su You thought about it, the village had just taken the first step, and there were too many things that needed to be improved, and it was impossible to do it overnight, so he changed the topic: "Whose family is the newly repaired courtyard next to the ancestral hall?" It looks exquisite. ”

Several old men looked at each other and smiled, and the old man said, "It's yours!" ”

Su You was surprised: "Mine? ”

"Well, last time the Cheng family personally sent the bad and chickens, ducks and pigs over, they also brought a team of craftsmen, saying that they wanted to repair the house for you."

"As a result, the foreman looked at the dilapidated houses left by your father and mother, and said that it was better to push the new cover faster, I think this is also the reason, so that's it."

The sixth brother took a bite of food: "The Cheng family's in-laws are really good, I heard that you went to the city to live in the old lady's bookstore?" ”

Su You smiled: "Well, cousin Mingyun was not there at that time, and Su ran to Qingshen again, and I couldn't live with my sister-in-law, so I went to seek refuge with my uncle." ”

Then he picked up some interesting things in the city and told them, and waited for a few old men to eat, and then everyone went to see the new house together.

The new house was built in the style of a middle-class family in the city, with a spacious foyer and a small porter on the side.

Then there is a patio, paved with bluestone slabs, surrounded by rainwater gutters, and on either side of the corridor is a corridor.

The railing of the corridor is a beautiful woman with a seat, a stone table and a small seat in the center of the bluestone patio, and two large fish tanks around it, as well as a plantain and a wisteria.

Next to the second entrance door, there are two small rooms, one side is the kitchen, and the other side should be a storage room.

The second entrance is a round moon door, and there are two rows of rooms on the left and right, each with three rooms.

In the middle was a small garden, but it was all empty now.

There is a small courtyard at the back, which is the exquisite inner hall, the two rooms on the left and right, which are the study and storage room, and the two rooms at the back are for the family members or messengers who do not yet exist.

This garden is exquisite, with sparse flowers and trees, covering a small corner pavilion in the center, and at the same time making a shelter for the main hall at the back.

There are three rooms at the bottom, with a hall in the middle and two master bedrooms on either side.

Su You is very satisfied with this residence, the house is fine and not fancy, there is no carving and other superfluous decorations, but the panes, slates, can be seen to have taken effort.

The old uncle was afraid that Su You would not be satisfied, so he explained: "The money given by your in-law and the house are your sister-in-law's idea, and he said that if you want to study with peace of mind, don't make it too fancy." ”

How could Su You not be satisfied, one person occupies almost an acre of homestead, and what he is worried about now is the lack of popularity.

After reading these, the old man took Su You to see the interior layout.

In fact, the house is basically empty, just the study, full of things.

On both sides are bookshelves, all of which are blue bookcases from Cheng Sheren Printing Workshop, stacked in a set of stacks, with a few bundles of rice paper at the bottom, and a few knives of stone paper for drawing.

In the middle, near the door and window, there is a large desk, which is fully equipped with pen and inkstone.

There were three large porcelain jars beside the desk, all empty, which were used by the master to store the drafts.

On the other wall, which is more modern, there are various drawing tools invented by Su You, all of which are hung on the wall, as well as a complete set of woodworking tools and a huge drawing board that is placed diagonally.

The drawing plate has a tripod support, brass track slots on the sides and bottom, and various kits such as T-shaped rectangular rulers, drawing boards, scale bars, adjusters, and corner rulers, which are almost identical to later products. What I didn't say must be a good man's filial piety.

With this stuff, cartography is much more convenient.

Su You was very satisfied, turned his head and asked, "Old uncle, this house is good, why haven't you moved here?" ”

The old uncle smiled: "What a stupid thing! It's your house! The country house is worthless, and it costs dozens of dollars! ”

Su You was a little confused by the current prices, and the knife he got for Ah Ho Mi was enough to exchange for twenty or thirty such houses!

After thinking about it, he said, "Now that I'm back, why don't we move here today?" ”

After speaking, he handed over to a few old brothers: "A few brothers, help me persuade the old uncle." ”

A few old brothers persuaded: "Eighth Prince, isn't this house more comfortable to live in than the ancestral hall?" Besides, the oil baby still has to go to school, and this side is brighter than that. ”

The fifth brother also said: "Yes, you have raised an oil baby for several years, and now that the oil baby has grown ability, it is also appropriate to honor you, but it is time for you to enjoy the blessings." ”

The sixth brother instigated: "The ancestral hall is on the edge of this house, if you get up in the morning and take a step, just move it in the afternoon!" Let's see if we will fire again! ”
