Chapter 54： Can we keep making tea eggs?

The day finally cleared the next day, but the road was rather muddy, and I still couldn't go to town.

Luo Jianjia woke up early and went to make cakes. He rolled all the noodles into cakes and put them in the oven to bake slowly.

Afterwards, he took out more than thirty eggs from the family, and boiled thirty of them in a pot with cold water.

After cooking for about a quarter of an hour, I fished out twenty-five.

The rest will continue to be cooked for a while, and then fished out after they are cooked.

She put the twenty-five fished out earlier in the cold water, took them out one by one, and shattered all the shells.

Zhao looked at her behavior and asked curiously: "Jianjia, what are you doing? Are you planning to peel the eggs and sell them?"

Luo Jianjia shook his head and explained to Zhao: "No, I will add the seasoning and continue cooking later."

"Oh." Zhao nodded.

She didn't ask any more, and knocked the egg like Luo Jianjia.

After breaking up all the egg shells, Luo Jianjia put the eggs into the pot again, and put the pepper and star anise bay leaves and other spices in the pot.

These spices are always available at home, and Luo Jianjia was often used in cooking before, and the ingredients for the cold skin are also needed.

After this, I added salt and other seasonings, and finally added some sugar, tea, and then water.

Boil for a quarter of an hour, turn off the heat, and let stand.

After making these, the tea eggs are basically ready, and the rest is just waiting quietly.

At breakfast, Luo Jianjia cooked a pot of white rice porridge, with pickled cucumber as the side dish, and cakes just baked in the morning for the staple food.

The bread I made yesterday was sold out, but I didn't eat much at home.

With yesterday’s experience, today’s biscuits are better and more delicious. The outer layer is crispy, and some scum will drop when you bite.

Mr. Zhao and Boss Chu liked them very much and praised them all.

"If you don't put any vegetables, you can't blame the delicious ones, Xiang." Zhao said.

"The salt and five-spice powder are just right, and some dishes are also delicious." Chu Lao Dadao.

Luo Jianjia agrees with Zhao's thoughts, and she actually likes to keep things, the more she chews, the more fragrant she gets.

When the hour came, the family of three went to the dock again.

Today scones are still selling well.

Vegetable leaf eggs are also very popular.

The price of tea eggs was set at two cents apiece.

This price is a bit expensive for people who work at the terminal, and many people ask, but there is no answer.

However, the seasoning used by Luo Jianjia to make tea eggs is too expensive, the spices are expensive, the sugar is also very expensive, and there is also tea. The cost is more than one penny, and you can't make much money by selling two pennies. So it is impossible for her to lower the price.

The audience of the tea eggs is the merchants.

Luo Jianjia cut a tea egg into eight equal parts, and merchants who come to buy things, if they are interested, she will let someone taste it.

Fortunately, the tea eggs are delicious. Most of the merchants bought them after they tasted them. Once they bought them, there were several. The tea eggs were sold out in a short time.

Those hard-boiled eggs are also sold out.

Scones, tea eggs, and egg soups don’t make a lot of money, but they add up to a lot.

After going home, I made about two hundred wen today, and it's about to reach the best time.

Seeing this number, Luo Jianjia breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, it rained again and it was a bit colder than before. Now the sales of Liangpi have been halved. If scones and tea eggs don't make money, she has to think of other ways.

"Jianjia, your mind is so good. I thought of so many ways to make money in the blink of an eye. It is really our family's blessing to marry you, and it is also the blessing of Brother Leng." Zhao praised.

Although Boss Chu didn't say anything, he nodded silently.

The family is indeed thanks to my daughter-in-law.

A few days ago, I saw that I was about to make money, but my daughter-in-law turned around and thought of other ways to make money.

Being able to marry such a good daughter-in-law is a blessing to their Chu family for several generations.

Hearing the praise of both of them, Luo Jianjia pursed his lips.

The heroine in the book is a transgressive woman, or a lady of the family, who helped Chu Wei Leng a lot in his official career, and that was the blessing of their Chu family.

Thinking of this, Luo Jianjia said, "Mother, you are polite. You and Dad have also done a lot. Without you, we wouldn't be able to make so much money."

Zhao patted his daughter-in-law's hand and said, "What are we doing, it's just a fight."

After a few people talked for a while, Luo Jianjia said: "Mother, our eggs are gone, we have to go to another place to buy some back, or we won't be able to sell them tomorrow."

Due to the bad weather, the roads are not easy to walk, and I can’t go out today, so I can only go to the neighbor’s house to buy it.

Zhao immediately said: "I said I just forgot something. That's it. I'll go to the village and ask. But how many do I need?"

Luo Jianjia thought for a while and said, "About fifty."

With that, Zhao went out.

On the other side, after struggling for a few days, Wang Qingjue once again found Chu Weileng cheeky. After seeing Chu Wei Leng, he didn't mean anything, and asked directly: "Brother Chu, your jerky...ah, no, it's called dried pork, do you have any more?"

Although Wang Qingjue was born as a concubine, he was also brought up in Jinyiyushi. He has never eaten anything delicious.

But the taste of the dried pork is really special, not to mention the taste, I still feel refreshed after eating it, and I feel a lot lighter.

As for increasing strength, he didn't feel it.

He has been reminiscing about the taste of dried pork in the past few days. If he doesn't eat well and sleeps well, he wants to taste it again.

There are indeed Chu Wei Leng, but only a few pieces.

But he didn't want to give it.

Wang Qingjue saw Chu Weileng's thoughts and said, "Brother Chu has an unrelenting request. I wonder if Brother Chu can agree to it?"

Chu Wei said coldly: "You said."

"Can you ask my sister-in-law to make some for me?" Wang Qingjue said, "I can give you money."

He has checked, Chu Wei Leng's family situation is not very good.

He has money, so he really doesn't want to wrong himself.

Since this thing was made by Chu Wei Leng's wife, I beg their family to make more.

Chu Weilian's first reaction was to disagree.

But after thinking for a while, I felt that I should agree.

He remembered that Roche liked money very much, and the most interesting thing every day was counting money.

Would she be happy if she knew that the dried pork she made could sell for money?

"If Brother Chu feels that giving money is not good, I can also give the sister-in-law something else. For example, what jewelry does the sister-in-law like?" Wang Qingjue asked.

What women like most is those few things, clothes, jewelry, rouge gouache.

A foreigner gave him maiden jewelry?

Chu Wei Leng always feels weird.

"Then give the money." Chu Wei said coldly, "My lady likes money the most."

Wang Qingjue immediately smiled when Chu Weilian agreed. By coincidence, the last thing he lacks is money.

"It's great, I will send someone to bring money to Brother Chu's house today." Wang Qingjue said eagerly, "Oh, by the way, does Brother Chu have anything to bring to the family?"

He has just been here for a month, and there is nothing to piggyback about.

Seeing that Chu Weilian said no, Wang Qingjue said: "It's better to write a letter to the home from Brother Chu, I'll let someone take it later."

Write a letter...

When he came, he told Roche that there was something to write to him, but he felt that with her character, she might not write to him.

"Thank you brother Wang."

"Brother Chu is polite."

Afterwards, Wang Qingjue took out a piece of paper from nowhere, found out the pen and ink, and handed it to Chu Weileng.

Although Chu Weilian had learned to read with people in the palace and neighboring countries before, he didn't know how to write.

Especially the brush, he is not very good at using it at all.

After receiving the brush, Chu Weiling wrote some words crookedly on the paper: "How is everything at home? How is your father and mother?"

After a pause, I added a few more words: "How are you?"

I wanted to add a few more sentences from Luo Family, but I did not know how to write them.

Although Chu Weilian's letter was folded, Wang Qingjue could still see the stain on it.

Looking at this letter, Wang Qingjue asked enthusiastically: "Brother Chu needs my ghostwriter?"

Chu Wei glanced at him coldly and shook his head: "Thank you, Brother Wang, no more."

He was almost clear about what he should say, and there was nothing left to say.

Luo Jianjia still didn't know that Chu Weileng had accepted such a big deal for her. If he knew it, he would wake up in dreams.

In the morning of the second day, Luo Jianjia went to cook tea eggs first.

The tea eggs are easy to boil, but if you want to taste it, it’s better to let them rest for a while. The time for the tea eggs to soak yesterday was too short, and she always felt that the taste was a little bad.

After making tea eggs, she started making scones again.

Not long after, Aunt Wang also came to help. Although Liangpi has done less now, he has done nothing less, and there are more samples.

At a quarter to two, Luo Jianjia and Aunt Wang left Chujia Village with Liangpi, scones and tea eggs.

Although it was not raining, the road was still a bit muddy, and the two men pushed the car cautiously, slowly moving towards the town.

Because the road is not easy to walk, the time when the two of them arrived has passed.

Today is a big bazaar. There are many people in the bazaar and there is not a single vacancy. Fortunately, Luo Jianjia and Goulu had made an agreement before, otherwise they would not be able to occupy a good position today.

Seeing Luo Jianjia coming, the dog greeted them all the way away: "Sister-in-law is here?"

Luo Jianjia nodded: "Yeah."

Thinking of the past few days, Luo Jianjia asked: "Can you come these few days?"

The dog left honestly and said: "I didn't come when I was there, but it was a small episode the day before yesterday, and I came."

Hearing this, Luo Jianjia was slightly startled.

They had agreed before that the dog would come and hand in the copper plates for a whole day every day, except on rainy days.

Since the dog came the day before yesterday, how much did he pay?

The dog left seemed to see her concerns, and said, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I guess the sister-in-law will not come if it rains, so I said that I didn’t have that much money with me. Yes, just make up two cents."

Luo Jianjia glanced at him appreciatively, and said secretly, what a clever boy.

The purchasing power of the people who come to the town to buy food is higher than that of the people who work on the dock and lower than that of the merchants.

The single biscuits are crispy, crispy and burnt, and they sell better than those with vegetables.

As for the tea eggs, I asked a few words and tasted them at first, but after hearing the prices, few people bought them.

This is not the same as the situation on the dock.

On the dock, the merchants tasted it and bought it when they thought it was delicious.

Luo Jianjia looked around the people who came to buy things, pondered, and when the next person came to ask, he elaborated on the ingredients he used to make tea eggs, especially the precious materials.

As soon as the man heard that there were valuable spices such as star anise, golden sugar, and tea that was only taken out for drinking during the festive season, he immediately bought two, no more expensive.

This is the characteristic of the people in the town. They live better than the merchants' associations and are richer than the villagers.

Knowing this, Luo Jianjia then took the trouble to tell everyone about the ingredients used in the tea eggs.

As for how much each ingredient needs, she didn't say anything, nor did she say a few key seasonings.

In this way, even if the customer guessed what is in it, they may not be able to make such a good taste.

Aunt Wang looked at the tea eggs from the beginning when no one asked and was later robbed, admiring Luo Jianjia a little bit more.

"Niece-in-law, how do you think you are, you really make money."

Luo Jianjia glanced at Aunt Wang and said, "Auntie, there is nothing special, as long as you understand what the guests think, it will be easier."

Do you even know what the guests are thinking? That's amazing!

Luo Jianjia's position in Wang's aunt's heart is higher.

After dinner, Zhao closed the door, and the family counted the money together.

When they counted three hundred wen, all three people showed a relaxed expression on their faces. In the end, they made a total of three hundred and forty-two wen today.

Zhao said: "This is inaccurate, you have to remove twenty wen. A merchant ate our tea eggs and liked it very much. When he left, he took ten and gave him twenty wen as a reward."

Such things as money rewards are not available every day and cannot be counted.

"Even if it doesn't count, there are more than 300 texts." Chu Lao Dadao, "If this goes on, I can make a dozen silver in a month."

After all, he subconsciously looked at Luo Jianjia, wanting to hear her opinion.

When Zhao heard this number, he swallowed, and said, "Can there be so many?"

After asking, she also looked at Luo Jianjia.

Luo Jianjia thought for a while and said, "The amount of Liangpi will be reduced in the future. However, when the weather is cold, the egg fried rice can be fried more. Now there are a lot more boats on the pier, and more people are working. There are also many people who come to eat. If you follow this trend, maybe you can really make a dozen or so this month."

When Luo Jianjia confirmed it, Boss Chu and Zhao were very excited.

From the time they were able to earn one or two in a month, the two of them felt very unreal, to the later two, five, seven, and then to now ten taels, this unreal feeling was like in a dream.

And they don't spend much money, they have all saved up, and they don't feel too deep.

"Can we keep making money like this in the future?" Zhao asked.

After asking, he said: "If it's always possible, then in a few years, won't we be able to have thousands of taels? Isn't that richer than the county lords?"

Luo Jianjia thought, Chu Wei Leng will develop in a few years, and their Chu family's assets are more than a thousand taels?

Not only the assets, but also the reputation and status will be very high. Not to mention the county, the people in the Fucheng will be beyond the dust, and they will have a place in the capital.

"The Xianggong is already a 9th grade official at such a young age. After a few years, he may be able to rise to the top, and the official will become higher and higher. At that time, the parents will just enjoy the blessing." Luo Jianjia said.

Hearing how his daughter-in-law praised his son, Zhao was very happy, and said with a smile: "It would be great if Leng's brother can really be so good, that's a good thing for Guangzong Yaozu."

After finishing speaking, he said: "However, he is his official, my father and I are still thinking about making more money."

Zhao is very happy that his son can be promoted.

However, Zhao is not as happy as he used to be about enjoying the blessing with his son.

After enjoying the fruits of his labor, the Zhao family hopes to earn some money on their own, not relying on others.

It's not reliable to rely on other people's feelings, even if it's your own son.

During the three years when her son left, she deeply realized this.

Still have to rely on yourself.

Boss Chu nodded.

He had the same idea as the Zhao family. They had suffered for most of their lives and spent most of their lives. Now they can make money on their own. That feeling is different from the past.

"Jianjia, can we continue to do this business, right?" Zhao asked seriously.

Hearing this question, Luo Jianjia was startled as he looked at Zhao's expectant eyes.

How can she tell Zhao that they are not in her future plans?
