Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 170 Boiled Tea Eggs
When Yuan Bao heard this, he jumped three feet high happily.

Clapping and clapping followed Tian Xiaoyu's buttocks and went to the kitchen.

This boiled egg is nothing delicious, Tian Xiaoyu thought about it, let's make tea eggs, just cook some marinade, and when it snows, I'm afraid it's time to have stewed meat.

Seeing that Tian Xiaoyu didn't go to fetch the eggs, Yuan Bao started looking for something in the cupboard instead, and said excitedly, "Mother, the eggs aren't there."

"Mother will cook tea eggs for you, be good." Hearing his son say this, Tian Xiaoyu knew that he was greedy again.

He hurriedly found out the tea leaves, washed them clean, grabbed a handful of spices and mixed them with water, then threw the cleaned eggs into it.

The firewood in the stove ignited immediately, the red flame licked the bottom of the pot, and the tea water boiled in a short while, Tian Xiaoyu fished out the eggs with a strainer, and smashed them one by one with an iron spoon, The egg shell was broken like glass shards, but it was still tightly attached to the egg white.

After smashing it all, put the broken egg into the tea water and continue cooking, the more it cooks, the more fragrant it will become.

Gu Yunqing went to clean up the stables and fed the chickens. When he returned to the front yard, he happened to pass by the back kitchen. He smelled the tempting aroma and went in.

Seeing Tian Xiaoyu making a small stove for Yuan Bao, she asked curiously, "Daughter-in-law, didn't you just have lunch, why did you start the stove again?"

Seeing that Gu Yunqing was coming, Yuan Bao jumped up from the small stool that was burning the fire, rushed over to let Gu Yunqing hug him, and said mysteriously, "Father, my mother said to cook tea eggs for me! Be good, I'll give you one later."

"Okay, daddy." Gu Yunqing felt amused seeing his son's mysterious little expression, held him in his arms, looked into the iron pot on the stove, and saw only a pot of tea water , but the eggs were nowhere to be found.

Is this tea boiled egg delicious?
Tian Xiaoyu didn't care about this, the tea eggs in the pot were slowly boiling, but she picked up the white water eggs and continued to roll her eyes and cheeks, the dark circles under her eyes, fortunately, no one here has seen big panda.

Since the son and daughter-in-law are in the kitchen, it's not good for him to take a lunch break alone, so Gu Yunqing can only stay in the kitchen with his wife.

Winter in this country is to eat, sleep and grow fat. There is not much farm work in the field, and you can’t go to the back mountain. The walnuts in the store are enough to sell in the next spring, and the money is not bad. Thinking about it, it’s really nothing. to do.

Throughout the year, winter is the most leisurely time.

It's cold outside, and Aunt Ye and Qiaomei don't like to go out. They are old and lethargic. Aunt Ye has nothing to do and sleeps on the kang, embroidering and sleeping. In my boudoir, I don't come out very often.

The egg was boiled over and over in the tea water, and because the shell was broken, the taste naturally seeped in.

When the egg yolk is also stained with the fragrance of the brine, the tea egg is considered to be cooked.

Yuan Bao waited anxiously, and finally saw Tian Xiaoyu turn off the fire on the stove and start scooping up eggs with a sieve, staring at the pot intently, the white and tender eggs had already turned into broken brown by now, Yuan Bao curled his lips in disgust and said, "Mother, this egg is ugly."

"It's delicious, you can't be judged by appearance, and this egg is no exception." Tian Xiaoyu looked at the tea egg in his hand, compared with the boiled egg, it was a little ugly.

She was blowing, and slowly tore off the eggshell film. The white and tender egg whites were already stained with the color of tea water, and the cracked eggshell lines were clearly visible on it. Tian Xiaoyu broke open the egg whites, and saw The egg yolk inside has also changed color, smelling it, the aroma is overflowing.

She put the egg near Yuan Bao's mouth, and said temptingly, "Oh, it smells so good, it's so delicious, would you like to have a bite?"

Seeing Niangqin's expression, Yuan Bao took a bite after thinking about it. After all, Niangqin hadn't lied to him yet. After taking a bite of the tea egg, Yuan Bao took the egg white and yolk that Tian Xiaoyu broke apart. Come over and mutter, "Ugly is ugly, but delicious."

Seeing his son eating happily, Tian Xiaoyu naturally couldn't forget his husband, so he peeled another one and fed it to Gu Yunqing. After tasting it, Gu Yunqing was full of praise.

Tian Xiaoyu cooked more than a dozen tea eggs. In order not to taste bad if left cold, he took a small iron pot and put it on the earth dragon stove to warm it. The firewood here is not strong enough to warm It is best served with eggs.

When Aunt Ye woke up, Tian Xiaoyu sent some ingots to send to Qiaomei, and she also brought a bowl of tea eggs to Qiaomei's room.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qiaomei sitting on the kang sewing something, Tian Xiaoyu put the eggs on the table and said, "I boiled some tea eggs, try it."

"Hey, sister-in-law, wait a minute, I have a few stitches left to draw the thread." Qiaomei didn't raise her head, and still focused on her sewing work.

Tian Xiaoyu leaned forward curiously, took a look, and found that she was embroidering mandarin ducks, two mandarin ducks in love with each other on the water blue palm-sized brocade, Qiaomei was too focused, and didn't notice Tian Xiaoyu leaving Come around.

"Hey, little girl is busy with this in winter." Tian Xiaoyu saw her threading, so she joked.

Even so, Qiaomei was taken aback and almost pricked her hand with a needle.

She hid the bandage in her hand behind her back, and refused to admit it, "Sister-in-law, you are blind, what I embroidered is not a mandarin duck."

"Oh? Really? Then I really have to take a closer look." After finishing speaking, Tian Xiaoyu was about to reach out to grab it, but Qiaomei dodged, and the hands landed on her waist, making her itchy. Giggling and begging for mercy.

Seeing that she couldn't hide, Qiaomei had no choice but to honestly take out the mandarin duck embroidery.

Qiaomei's mandarin ducks are embroidered very strangely. In other drawings, the mandarin ducks playing in the water are all embroidered with willow branches, lotus and so on.

Arriving at Qiaomei's place, there is actually a lake under several branches of red plums, with a pair of mandarin ducks cuddling on top of it, and snow falling next to it, it really looks like a mandarin duck that is suffering.

"Qiaomei, your mandarin duck embroidery is a bit miserable." Tian Xiaoyu usually said something in front of Qiaomei, and Qiaomei also had the same temperament, and the two of them felt a little sympathetic to each other.

Qiaomei nodded, with a trace of loneliness in her eyes, she said, "Isn't it? Brother Liao's provincial examination has not yet been completed, I need to stop hanging around in front of my mother, so that she won't think about it."

Looking at Qiaomei's sad look, Tian Xiaoyu felt sorry for her, Qiaomei was not wrong, Liao Qing was not wrong, but what about Aunt Ye, can you say she was wrong?None of the three were wrong, but there was no way to solve the matter here.
