The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 161: Salted Duck Eggs

Liu Tugen felt miserable in his heart, and said bitterly: "How could I be like this usually, or because I was so angry today, it's fine to say a few words about him at home, how could I chase him out like this? Hey, Lao Gen, don't you Know my troubles, do you know what that kid said?!"

He sighed, put aside his stick and sat down and said: "... His mother and I thought that he was about the age and wanted to tell him his relatives, but he just refused like a stubborn donkey, and then I forced him to I'm in a hurry, he actually said that he wants to marry a local girl, this really pissed me off..."

"Ah?!" Niu Laogen was also a little dumbfounded, "This kid, when did he get such a thought?!"

Liu Tugen thumped the tunnel angrily: "I said that I would not let him marry, otherwise I would treat him as if I hadn't given birth to him, but you know what he said, he said that he wanted to become a monk, otherwise he would have to wait for Tu Niu to get married, and he died Say it again, but it pissed me off, the more I thought about it the more I got angry when he ran out, so I came to him with a stick, this brat runs fast..."

He was panting, his face flushed a little, obviously very angry.

"This, this..." Niu Laogen didn't know what to say, but he was hesitant, and wanted to persuade Liu Tugen a few words, but felt that it was not painful, so he didn't say anything at all.

"Forget it, wait a few years, wait a few years, it's better than losing a son, what does it look like to be married, I will have no face to see my ancestors when I go underground, and it's not because my family is too poor to get rid of the pot..." Liu Tugen said angrily: "Even if he wants to marry The Zhong family, Tu Niu may not be able to fall in love with him, this dead boy, I am so mad, Tu Niu is so young, she is only nine years old, she has to wait for a few years, he..."

Said it was like this, he thought about it, but Liu Tugen was angry after all, naturally he was entangled, depressed and panicked.

"Well, oh..." Niu Laogen said: "...Forget it, you're thinking about it, what else do you care about, you have to understand Er Gouzi, after all, Tu Niu is so good and sensible, and the villagers in the village No one can compare to my aunt, he stays by her side every day, so it's inevitable that he has thoughts, as long as he doesn't become stubborn, it will be fine after a few years, and it's the same if you hold a grandson a few years later..."

Liu Tugen only kept sighing, his face was full of sadness.

Niu Laogen smiled and said: "I think the Zhong family is determined to keep the Tu girl at home, so don't even think about it. Gensheng has told me several times that he is reluctant to marry his daughter. Now that the Zhong family has made a fortune, it is more It's impossible to lack food for my daughter's family, so naturally I want to recruit relatives..."

Even so, there are many sons in the family, and there are many who are thinking about it. Liu Tugen is considered to have backbone.

Niu Laogen didn't know what to comfort him, so he just sat with him.

Liu Tugen sighed depressingly: "...Sin, if Tu Niu is a boy, he can marry whoever he wants, and save Er Gouzi's troubles."

"That's right, Tu Niu's brain is really like a boy's, and she's smarter than a boy's. The Zhong family is really blessed..." Niu Laogen laughed as he spoke.

The two were chatting, but they didn't notice that Changsheng was not far away from them. Changsheng listened clearly, and listened to them again, thinking to himself, as expected, he was only nine years old, so his age was right. Then...she is a real princess. If she is a real princess, how could she match up with a country boy?

Changsheng curled his lips, but fortunately Liu Tugen is a witty person, otherwise he would have definitely slapped him.

The blood of the Han family flows, the general must be very happy to be so sure. Although he was [-]% sure before, he was still not very sure.Now it seems to be true.

Thinking of this, Changsheng stepped up and walked up to them. When they saw someone coming, they automatically stopped talking.

Niu Laogen went in and out of Zhong's house every day, knowing about longevity, so he said with a smile: "Little general, is this out for a walk?!"

"Yes, Brother Niu, what are you doing, Brother Liu?!" Chang Sheng sat down with a smile.

Niu Laogen smiled and said: "Just chatting, looking at the duck shed is quite boring, but Tugen is fine, so just chatting."

Chang Sheng smiled and said: "This is a good place, it would be even better if there is some wine and appetizers..."

"How can there be such a condition?" Niu Laogen said with a smile: "After all, the countryside is not as good as the city. By the way, the little general has eaten?!"

"I've used it..." Chang Sheng smiled and said, "I've been in this village for a long time, and I found that the native girl of Zhong's family is really smart, she really doesn't look like something a nine-year-old would do..."

"Who says it's not..." Niu Laogen laughed and said, "Only the Zhong family can give birth to such a spirited girl..."

"But why is she so thin, she doesn't look like she is nine years old..." Chang Sheng wondered, "Isn't the Zhong family's conditions very good?!"

"It's not that it was so good at the beginning. The Zhong family got better only a few years ago. It used to be really poor. It's no wonder that the local girl is thin. She is twins, born with Sanbao, and there was a drought back then. If you are full and hungry, and travel long distances, you will naturally lose weight..." Niu Laogen was not very defensive, and he was clear about the Zhong family's affairs, and it didn't hinder anything, so he didn't suspicious.

Changsheng's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Drought, no wonder, it's just what are they traveling long distances for?!"

Liu Tugen took up the topic and said with a smile: "If there is no way out, who would want to travel long distances?! Back then, when the drought broke out, the Zhong family couldn't survive, so they sold the land and went to his elder brother. Niu and Sanbao were born there... When they came back later, the two babies were both thin and pitiful, and the sister-in-law of the Zhong family had nothing to eat, so there was no milk for them, so they were raised like this, so ,Why……"

Brother Zhong, Changsheng naturally knew about it.Didn't they get their clues from him? !Now it seems to be true...

The eldest brother of the Zhong family said himself that his younger siblings only gave birth to a little boy back then, which should be the Three Treasures, and later picked up a girl, even if they came back together, it is really certain that it must be the princess...

Changsheng laughed when he thought about it, and held back forcibly, just smiled and said: "... The Zhong family seems to be blessed, Tu Niu is really a powerful girl, and the Zhong family is really good in the village ..."

"That's right, hehe..." Liu Tugen smiled and said, "It's just that the countryside is better. Compared with the generals, it's nothing..."

This is considered a compliment, Changsheng didn't care, just stood up with a smile, and said: "Brother Liu, Brother Niu, sit down slowly, I have to go back, the general still needs my service..."

The two stood up to see him off, and said with a smile, "Go slowly..."

Changsheng hurried back.

Niu Laogen and Liu Tugen laughed and said: "This general's entourage is nice and kind. He never puts on airs and is polite to the country people..."

Liu Tugen also smiled and said: "It is also General Han who manages the army well. Didn't you see that the soldiers in Zhong's old house never disturb the people!? They never make trouble, and they are very polite to people... But, it is strange Yes, what are they always doing at Zhong's house?!"

"Maybe it's new, and we don't know what they think..." Niu Laogen didn't care.

As soon as Changsheng ran back to Zhong's house, he told him what he had heard, but Han Ji was quite calm, just smiled and said: "...I said earlier that she is likely to be, and now it is even more certain. "

Changsheng nodded.

Han Ji laughed and said, "That child can always surprise us. Looking at some of the things she is doing now, I think life in this frontier is quite interesting."

"That's true. I heard that she wants to make some duck eggs recently. I guess it should be delicious..." Changsheng smiled and said, "General, when are we going to take the princess back?!"

"Don't call her a princess, I never planned to let her go back to the palace..." Han Ji's eyes darkened.

"Yes, I was negligent, and I will call you Miss from now on..." Chang Sheng quickly changed his words.

Han Ji paused, and said: "When I return to Beijing to report on my duties in three years, I will bring her back as a righteous daughter, give her a dowry, and choose a good husband-in-law for her."

Changsheng nodded, but smiled lightly: "In just half a year, the Zhong family has already become like this. I don't know what the Zhong family will look like in three years. By then, Miss may not like us." The dowry given by the Han family..."

Han Ji laughed when he said it, and said: "This girl has an idea, it's possible, let's see, I always think she is very smart, maybe she said that she is seven years old is her own idea." .”

Who knows, the Zhong family and his wife are honest and friendly, but they are naturally extremely careful in treating their children, which is hard to say.

But if it's what Tu Niu herself said, then it's really... Chang Sheng only thinks that she is too premature.

Han Ji couldn't sit still when he thought about it, he smiled, and said: "All these years, the one above has been worried about me holding the military power, and transferred me around. If I really have ideas, he will transfer me around again. It's no use..."

His disciples are scattered all over the place, and his apprentices are descendants of the Zhao family in the Dayu Dynasty... I don't know how many generals and generals who have close ties with him in the military camp.

You can't stop yourself even if you want to.

Knowing that Han Ji was angry, Chang Sheng didn't bother him, thinking that the general wanted to find Miss Han's child, and now that his wish was finally fulfilled, Chang Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just make sure it's her, now, just stay here and guard her with peace of mind.

And Shen Sisi didn't know that she had been confirmed by them at all. She was busy salting some salted duck eggs to eat now. Preserved eggs are hard to make, but salted duck eggs are easy to cook, so Shen Sisi thought about delicious salted duck eggs. I can't sit still...

Early the next morning, as soon as Niu Laogen delivered today's duck eggs, Shen Sisi began to prepare to pickle them.

She counted a total of 150, washed them all, and made a special trip to the village to buy a bottle of the cheapest liquor.

Washed and prepared a small jar, first take a small basin, pour high-grade white wine into it, soak the duck eggs in it for 20 seconds, keep the whole eggshell moist, then pour salt into the jar, soak the duck eggs in the wine Roll the good duck eggs inside, try to make the surface of the duck eggs be covered with salt grains, then put all the duck eggs that have been rolled over the salt into the jar, seal it carefully, and then move the jar to the firewood room. In the corner, just wait slowly now.

With the infiltration of white wine, the duck egg yolk is easy to get oily.This method of pickling is relatively salt-saving.

But Niu Xiaohua and He Axiu looked at it dumbfounded. No one here does this, and all methods of wasting salt are not advocated very much, because of that sentence, salt is too expensive.Using so much salt to pickle the worthless duck eggs was something neither of them thought about.

Seeing their reactions, Shen Sisi sighed, I really miss modern salt, it's so cheap.In modern times, taxation no longer needs to be maintained by salt, so salt is extremely cheap, unlike this agricultural society, where the salt industry is one of the main businesses of taxation, so naturally it cannot be cheap, and the interests of so many people are tied to it .Why……
