Chapter 73 New Idea
"What, you want to collect eggs?" Li clicked her tongue. In the past, she always liked to compete with Sister Liu.
Later, when the Jiang family met with misfortune, she felt more sympathy, but now, she can never compare with them no matter how hard she tries.
"My family has saved thirty eggs. Keep ten and you can take the rest." Li thought that earning twenty cents could be exchanged for more than a pound of pork.
Her son Xiaocang likes to eat meat.
At the Li family, Liu Chunfeng was the first to receive the eggs.
All of Zhang's eggs were saved for her children to eat, and Liu's family also collected more than twenty eggs.
In this way, the news that Liu Chunfeng wanted to collect eggs spread throughout the village.
Even the old lady at the entrance of the village no longer has to set up her stall herself.
But Liu Chunfeng said that it was all temporary. In the spring of this year, she was waiting for her chickens and rabbits to hatch, and for her pigs and sheep to become pregnant.
This morning, Liu Chunfeng returned home carrying a large basket full of eggs.
Seeing the surprised looks of her granddaughters, Liu Chunfeng explained with a smile,
"Grandma plans to go to the county town to sell eggs."
Now, it’s the fifteenth day of the lunar year, so I think the eggs should sell well.
Jiang Yue...Grandma can never be idle for a moment.
She also wanted to take advantage of the beginning of the year to let her grandmother have a good rest.
"Grandma, there is a temple fair in town on the 15th, so let's not go to the county town on that day." Jiang Sini requested.
The village chief’s granddaughter goes to see the lanterns on the fifteenth day of every year, and she wants to go too.
Liu Chunfeng naturally disagreed with this plan, "Let elder sister accompany you."
She planned to collect several hundred eggs, and she would earn at least two or three hundred copper coins per trip.
"I want to go sell eggs with my grandma." Jiang Dani certainly wanted to go to the temple fair, but she wanted to accompany her grandma more.
"I'll go sell eggs with grandma too." Jiang Erni agreed.
"Okay then, Sanni, accompany your sisters to the temple fair in town." It's just selling eggs, so it doesn't require too many people. Liu Chunfeng doesn't plan to bring her other granddaughters this time.
Before Jiang Sanni could say anything, Jiang Sini hugged her arm.
"Third sister is the best."
Jiang Sanni smiled and nodded, her expression slightly sad.
Her second sister was born on the same day as her and always helped her grandmother with business, but she only knew how to dig wild vegetables and feed livestock with her younger sister.
"Third sister is a good cook. Let's go and make some money during the temple fair."
Jiang Yue's words successfully attracted everyone's attention, especially Jiang Sanni who was named.
Without exception, they thought of the Cheng family's shop.
Jiang Yue said it as a matter of course. Jiang Sanni hurriedly shook her head.
"I just know how to cook some home-cooked meals."
Not only Jiang Sanni thought so, everyone thought so.
"Let's make homemade clear soup noodles with a poached egg. The noodles made by Third Sister will definitely be very popular." Jiang Yue seemed even more confident than Third Sister.
Like her sisters, she was thinking about her own brick and tile house.
Jiang Yue wants to make money all the time.
"Will this work?" Jiang Sanni was eager to try. Her grandmother and other sisters still kept their eyes on Jiang Yue.
Especially Liu Chunfeng, who originally thought that Jiang Yue was just joking on New Year's Eve, but she didn't expect that she took it seriously.
"Let's buy some more pork fat and boil it into oil. The noodles will definitely taste good." Jiang Yue suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Xiaoliu has so many ideas. Whether we sell it or not, we will let Xiaoliu eat as much noodles as he wants today." Liu Chunfeng thought that Jiang Yue wanted to eat egg noodles.
As she spoke, she took the purse and went to the village entrance.
After grandma left, Jiang Dani and Jiang Erni went to the ranch together to feed their livestock.
The third sister followed Jiang Yue into the kitchen and started kneading the dough.
"Third sister, knead more flour. I want to make some dried noodles." Jiang Yue wanted her third sister to sell noodles at the temple fair, so naturally she wanted to make it more convenient for her.
"What are dry noodles?" Jiang Sini came over, very curious. Jiang Wuni behind her had an idea in her mind of noodles without soup.
"It's just noodles. Fourth sister, please help." Jiang Yue explained. The three sisters still didn't understand. Anyway, they just had to do what she said.
The third and fourth sisters kneaded a full bowl of dough, and under the guidance of Jiang Yue, they added salt and kneaded it repeatedly.
In this place where supplies are scarce, if this white flour had been left before, not only would we be reluctant to give it up, but we would also be unable to get it out.
After the dough was kneaded, the third sister started making hand-rolled noodles for today's lunch.
Jiang Yue and her fourth and fifth sisters found long sticks and started cleaning.
"What are you doing?" Liu Chunfeng had just returned home carrying some fatty pork when she saw this scene. She couldn't help but ask the question after being puzzled.
"Grandma, Xiaoliu wants to make dried noodles." Jiang Sini had already put the cleaned wooden sticks aside.
"What new idea has Xiaoliu come up with?" Liu Chunfeng was curious.
"It's just dry noodles. If we want to do noodle business, we can put them directly into the pot." Jiang Yue explained, and Liu Chunfeng understood a little.
"After dinner, grandma will cook with you." How come her little boy, Xiaoliu, can come up with all kinds of ideas?
That is, can it be delicious like this?
"Okay." After all, the fourth and fifth sisters are still young and their hands are weak. With grandma's help, it is much easier for Jiang Yue to make noodles.
If you ask her how she did it, she did it with her grandmother when she was young.
"Grandma, take a rest. My third sister and I will cook together."
Jiang Yue said this and ran to the kitchen with her grandmother. She put the small chopping board on the dining table and chopped the green onions into small pieces.
Liu Chunfeng was thinking about cutting the meat, but Jiang Sanni had already taken the lead and started cutting the fat.
Seeing that the third sister was preparing to press oil in the pot like last time, Jiang Yue stopped her and said:
"Third sister, let's try a different approach this time."
"How to do it?" the four of them asked in unison.
Jiang Yue: "Third sister, cut off all the fat."
Jiang Sanni glanced at her grandmother and saw her nod, so she cut them all off.
As soon as everything was ready, Jiang Yue poured all the fat pieces into the pot, added water, and then put in two pieces of onion and ginger.
Then she started to add more fire, and after it boiled, she asked the third sister to skim off the foam, remove it, wash it and drain the water. Then she started to add water again and simmer it on low heat... After about a quarter of an hour, the oil residue turned yellow and dry.
Liu Chunfeng carefully watched the whole process of Jiang Yue boiling the lard until all the lard turned golden yellow...
If someone had told her before that a five-year-old child could cook, she would definitely not have believed it.
Today, her little six has learned to innovate simply by observing and imitating.
The three sisters smelled the aroma of lard and their stomachs rumbled.
Following Jiang Yue's words,
"Grandma, it's time to cook the noodles. Add seven eggs."
There was a gleam in their eyes.
Liu Chunfeng responded with a smile, and Jiang Sanni also scooped out some of the boiled lard and poured it into the soup bowl, then added chopped green onions and other things, poured it into the hot noodle soup, stirred it well, and poured in the noodles cooked by grandma...
As the noodles were ready, the two older sisters came back home smelling the aroma.
When I got home, bowls of clear soup noodles with poached eggs were served.
