Chapter 174 Do me a favor

After entering the city, he not only bought a mule cart, but also bought a cow, saying it was a gift for himself. This made Li Jihe extremely happy. If his health had not allowed it, his family would not have Granted, he really wanted to hitch up the car and drive out for a walk.

But you can't drive a car, so there's nothing wrong with touching the cows and taking a good look at them.

Li Jihe was so happy that his eyes turned red. This was a gift that the children bought together with their money. It cost more than ten ounces of money! That’s valuable!
Pomegranate looked at her father with red eyes, secretly pursed her lips and smiled, pretending not to see him, leaving the space for her father and mother to talk.

She and Li Rongzong drove a mule cart and pulled a cart full of eggs and duck eggs to the old house.

Old Yuan was taking Sanni to play in the yard. The four-year-old Sanni was still young after all. She was accompanied by her grandma every day these days. The people she got along with were all wonderful relatives, and her face was full of smiles. He smiled and looked as lively and innocent as a child should.

"Grandma! Sanni!"

Pomegranate came into the yard and called someone. When Sanni saw her, she jumped up to her and opened her hand to her, "Sister Pomegranate!"

Shiliu squatted slightly to greet her, picked her up and hung her on her body, and touched her head, "What are Sanni doing?"

"Play with grandma and kick the shuttlecock!" Sanni showed Pomegranate the new shuttlecock that old Yuan gave her made of chicken feathers.

Pomegranate smiled, put her down, played with her for a while, and then said to the room: "Where's my cousin?"

In the east room, Mrs. Jiang lifted her waist and came out after hearing the sound. She smiled at Shiliu and said, "Your cousin is in the room. He heard you coming and was asking you questions."

"I'm going to talk to my first cousin and my second cousin about something!" Pomegranate said.

Li Rongbai was cleaning the pig pen in the backyard. When spring came, it was time to buy piglets and feed them. Hearing the shouts, he stopped what he was doing and went forward. He went into the east room and helped Li Rongsong out to the main room. sit.

Father Li was also smoking a dry cigarette in the main room. Hearing what Pomegranate said about something, he also looked at it curiously.

Shiliu looked at Li Rongsong and the two of them and said, "That's it. I have something to ask my first cousin and second cousin for help."

When Li Rongsong heard this, he said without thinking: "What's the matter with Pomegranate, just tell me, even if my legs and feet are inconvenient, I still have your second cousin!"

Li Rongbai also hurriedly nodded in agreement with his eldest brother and said, "Yes, if anything happens to Pomegranate, just say hello and I can go right away!"

Pomegranate said: "Didn't I build a shop in the city and plan to open a specialty store? In addition to selling meat floss and salted egg yolk, I also plan to sell preserved eggs. There are workshops making meat floss and salted egg yolk, but these preserved eggs are still available. I have to find someone to do it, and it’s not easy to open a workshop for a while, so I thought of asking my cousin to help me with this, so that it can be done in one place and it will save the mess.

This is easy to do, and it doesn’t take much effort. You can do it sitting down. With Sister Yangmei, Sister Yangtao and you guys, you can almost do it!
I'll teach you how to do this, and I've prepared the required materials. Making these preserved eggs costs ten cents for every fifty eggs. What do you think? "

When Li Rongsong heard this, he said without thinking: "We are not busy with farming now, and everyone has nothing to do. This is just a small thing to make an egg for, how can it be regarded as money? Pomegranate, don't say such outlandish things!" How do you do this? You just taught us, let’s help you do it, don’t say it’s not money!”

Pomegranate said: "This is not something you can do only this time. If you sell well, you will have to do it all the time. If you don't help me once, how can you help me often? If you want to do this, cousin, then I can only do this job." Find someone else!"

Having said this, how could Li Rongsong not know that Pomegranate was specifically thinking about them and giving them this money-making career!
It was still a job that he could make money from at home, a job that he could do while sitting down even though he couldn't move his legs.

He was moved in his heart, took a deep breath, and said immediately: "Since Pomegranate can trust us, we will do this job! Don't worry, we will do a good job for you, and we won't ruin Pomegranate's business!"

Father Li listened with emotion and felt that this was the case. Pomegranate is a good child. She thinks of her, so she gives her girls the job of making salted egg yolk sauce. Each one costs two cents to make a jar. Now, her girls make more than 30 bucks a day. As for Tan, he came back from work in the evening with a smile on his face, which made the two elders look happy.

Now Shiliu was very considerate of Rongsong and the others, and gave him such a job to make money——

Alas, Father Li couldn't help but grit his teeth thinking about his eldest brother's dissatisfaction. How harmonious are the brothers and sisters in their big family? It’s because the boss is so crooked!

Fortunately, none of the juniors had any grudges about this, and he was also happy.

Later, when Pomegranate leaves, he will have to talk to his eldest grandson and second grandson, and he will have to do this properly.

Immediately Li Rongsong agreed, Shiliu called Yangmei Yangtao and the others, including the pregnant Jiang, who also volunteered to help.

Pomegranate first cleaned all the eggs and put them in a ventilated place to dry to remove the moisture. The moisture must be dried.

When I was washing the eggs, I counted them all. Although you already count the eggs when you buy pomegranates, you might as well count them again.

At this moment, there were 325 duck eggs and 675 chicken eggs.

The total adds up to exactly one thousand eggs. After making these one thousand eggs, it will be two hundred cash in handicraft money.

It works quickly, it only takes a few people to finish a thousand eggs in one day.

After hearing this settlement, Li Rongsong and others also became excited.

While the eggs are drying, start burning the plant ashes, grind the quicklime, and sift through it to ensure there are no large particles.

When the plant ash comes out, put the lime powder, alkali and plant ash into a wooden basin and stir evenly.

It seems that this alkali is also produced by filtering and burning plant ashes. Farmers use this alkali to make rice dumplings and yellow cakes. Eating it will not harm the body.

Then stir-fry the salt in a pot, add water and some tea leaves, and bring to a boil over high heat. Let it cool for a while before pouring it into a wooden basin. Stir it together with the lime and other ingredients to form a sticky mud.

Then put the eggs one by one and wrap them as thickly as possible. After covering them with mud, roll them in the chaff, wrap them in the chaff, and finally put them in the jar.

This step is simple, just sit down and do it. Even Li Rongsong has no problem at all. He is worried that he can't move for a day and his family is in debt. The most important thing is that Brother Tan is smart and should be sent to school to continue studying. Yes, but now I have no choice but to stay at home. At most, I can wait for the village school to start school.

He thought to save more money, it would be better to send Brother Tan to study for a few years.

After filling a jar with mud eggs, cover the mouth of the jar with big tree leaves, and then paste the leaves with yellow mud to prevent them from breathing. In this way, it can be stored for about a month. If the weather gets hot later, you can put them in advance. About ten days.

The preparation of the whole Songhua Preserved Egg is very simple. Pomegranate mainly taught Li Rongsong how many eggs should be made with lime and lime in each wooden basin, and how much salt should be added at one time——

The two sisters, Bayberry and Carambola, are used to being kitchen assistants. They learned quickly and remembered carefully. They ordered some snacks to show that they had remembered.
