Yuan Mei is a foodie, and his research on tea eggs is extremely detailed.
Huang Tinghui knew that the time he wrote "Two Sticks of Incense" was four hours.
Simmer over low heat for four hours, which is a long time.
Huang Tinghui added some firewood to the stove, took the little girl's hand and walked out.
Sitting in front of the kitchen stove, waiting for the tea eggs to be cooked, is really a waste of time.
They only need to ensure that the fire in the stove is not extinguished and add some firewood to the stove regularly.
They don't need to worry about the rest.
Not far from the new house, there is a vast open space.
The old patriarch and Uncle Erzhu had already made arrangements for this land to be used to open up wasteland for Huang Tinghui.
It's the New Year now, and Huang Tinghui and the little girl don't have much time now.
Just in time to clean up the yellow weeds in this area.
Huang Tinghui and the little girl picked up some tools.
First, the wasteland to be reclaimed was circled, and then tools were used to create a "fire break" with a sufficient safe distance.
Huang Tinghui is a good student who has received nine years of compulsory education. The phrase "set the mountain on fire and sit in jail" is imprinted in his mind like a commandment.
At the end of the year, it is an extremely cold and dry time.
If the fire spreads and burns Funiuling.
The only thing Huang Tinghui could do was to pack up and leave immediately with the little girl.
There is absolutely no place for Huang Tinghui in Huangjiacun and the neighboring villages.
Even if Huang Tinghui runs away, he will definitely be able to run away from the monk but not from the temple.
In the Shang Dynasty, there was a legal provision that "those who abandon justice will have their hands cut off."
As for the Dasheng Dynasty, there was a clear provision that if a fire caused great damage, you would be punished with exile.
Huang Tinghui was unwilling to have his face tattooed and be exiled.
So some safety measures still have to be taken.
After creating enough safety isolation belts, Huang Tinghui took the fire sticks and lit the pile of dry grass on fire.
The flames burst out and burned, covering the entire wasteland in an instant.
The burning flames spread everywhere, burning the weeds completely.
The ashes left behind are great fertilizer for fertile soil.
"Slash and burn", Huang Tinghui never thought that he would actually do such a thing.
After the weeds were burned away, Huang Tinghui was still worried.
He received "tap water" and washed the land.
Make sure those sparks are completely gone.
After doing all this, a burst of fragrance came from the kitchen.
The little girl quickly walked out of the kitchen, "Husband, husband!"
"It's been two hours, the eggs should be ready!"
The little girl was very excited. She seemed to be even more excited than Huang Tinghui.
After all, the little girl has never seen tea eggs.
Let alone a little girl, even some princes and noble officials have never seen her.
It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, a certain emperor's daily habit was to eat four tea eggs.
Each tea egg is worth 34 taels, which is estimated to be 6,800 yuan in current RMB.
This price should shock people.
Of course, this is also related to some intricate chains of interests in the palace.
It’s no wonder that later generations of “frogs in the well” in some places said that the people in the mainland could not afford tea eggs.
Can’t you afford tea eggs?
The emperor had to eat 27,200 yuan of tea eggs a day, which is equivalent to half a year's income of an ordinary salaryman!
Huang Tinghui got rid of some messy thoughts in his mind and walked towards the kitchen with a smile.
The little girl stood in front of the stove, eagerly waiting for Huang Tinghui to lift the lid of the pot.
"It smells so good, it must be delicious!"
The little girl said to Huang Tinghui expectantly.
"Little Greedy Cat, are you greedy?"
Huang Tinghui knew that the little girl was a foodie, so he smiled and said to the little girl.
"No!"
“I just smelled these tea eggs, they are really delicious!”
"Lian'er has never smelled such fragrant tea eggs!" the little girl said with some embarrassment.
Huang Tinghui opened the lid of the pot on the stove, and a rich aroma slowly wafted out.
It is indeed a delicacy that has conquered countless foodies!
Huang Tinghui still remembers that when he was surfing the Internet, he once saw a handwritten joke about auctioning tea eggs in the world of cultivating immortals.
Now that I think about it, Huang Tinghui still has some things that make me laugh.
Finding a colander, Huang Tinghui took an egg out of the pot.
The little girl reached out to pick up the tea egg. Huang Tinghui gently slapped her little hand away, "Don't worry, it's a little hot now!"
"Cold water once!"
After saying that, Huang Tinghui put the eggs into cold water and let them cool down for a while.
When it was almost done, the little girl took out the tea eggs.
Gently pick up the tea egg and peel off the eggshell. The surface of the egg has clear brown curved lines, just like an oval rain flower stone with intricate textures.
Just looking at it will whet your appetite.
The little girl carefully peeled off the tea egg and handed it to Huang Tinghui, "Husband, eat it!"
This little girl, was she so anxious just now because she wanted to peel off the food for me with her own hands?
Huang Tinghui was a little moved. He picked up the tea egg and took a bite, chewing it carefully.
The fine tea, fennel and salty aroma, as deep as the egg yolk, linger on the tip of the tongue, making Huang Tinghui feel the sweetness in his teeth and cheeks, and the mouth full of fragrance.
"tasty!"
"You eat too!" Huang Tinghui only took a small bite and gave the remaining tea eggs to the little girl.
"My husband ate..." The little girl lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
Huang Tinghui thought the same thing, and gave to others what he had eaten.
This is not good either!
"Yes, then I..." Before Huang Tinghui finished speaking, the little girl took half of the tea egg from Huang Tinghui's hand.
Opening her little mouth, the tea egg disappeared into the little girl's mouth.
“Husband, it’s so delicious!”
The little girl's bulging cheeks are full of happiness and joy.
She wouldn't mind it!
It's just that this is too intimate, and the little girl is a little embarrassed.
Huang Tinghui was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
In later generations, most of them only saw boys eating girls' food.
It's rare to see girls eating boys' food.
From the earliest days, boys could only eat egg tart sides and strawberry butts, while many brainwashed girls only knew how to ask for it.
Then to the first cup of milk tea of ​​the year.
Almost everyone is teaching boys how to give, but no one is teaching girls how to love boys well.
Not many girls would do this like Lian'er.
Huang Tinghui once thought that he would never meet a girl who looked at him all the time.
And now, Huang Tinghui has met!
He met a girl who loved him from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, Huang Tinghui felt that everything in this life was worth it.
