Banxia looked at the duck eggs and said, "Where are there so many duck eggs?"
There was no joy on Qiuniang's face, only sadness.
She raised more than a hundred ducks, and she had to lay at least forty or fifty eggs every day, but the duck eggs tasted fishy and were far less delicious than eggs, so it was difficult to sell them. They didn’t have a large family, and they ate duck eggs every day, and they had long since become tired of the taste.
As it gets hotter and hotter today, these duck eggs are not stored until they smell bad and can only be thrown away.
These are all money, Qiuniang's heart aches when she throws them away.
Isn't it difficult to deal with too many duck eggs? Banxia came up with an idea, "Make it into salted duck eggs. It's also delicious."
The young man looked at Banxia as if he were a fool, "Salt is so expensive. If you don't belong to a wealthy family, who would make salted duck eggs?"
Banxia's face turned red from the rebuke. She had forgotten that salt was expensive.
Su Tang asked strangely, "Since duck eggs can't be sold, why do you raise so many ducks?"
Qiuniang sighed, "I am unlucky this year. The ducks I raised were originally supplied to a roast duck shop in the town. A month ago, the roast duck shop suddenly closed down and started a silk and satin business. These ducks
No one bought it, and we don’t have many families. It takes two days to eat one duck, and now there are about a hundred of them left.”
After saying that, Qiuniang looked at Su Tang and said, "I'll kill a few more in a while, and you guys can eat more."
She has been eating duck for a month and now she feels like vomiting when she sees the duck meat.
Su Tang, "..."
Su Tang wanted to help Qiuniang, but this town was too remote. It was impossible for the No. 1 store in the world to drive here. She might as well just give the money and buy all the hundred or so ducks to save her worries.
Ducks are difficult to deal with, but it would be a waste if all these duck eggs go bad. The salt is too expensive and cannot be soaked in salted duck eggs. Instead, they can be made into preserved eggs.
Su Tang planned to teach Qiuniang how to make it, and asked Qiuniang to prepare what she wanted tomorrow. She showed her how to make it, and Qiuniang nodded repeatedly.
Although she didn't know whether the preserved eggs were delicious or not, it would be a waste to put away the duck eggs. They would treat a dead horse as a living horse.
Waiting outside the kitchen for the smell of stinky duck eggs to dissipate, Su Tang went in. Although Xie Boting was used to Qiuniang's cooking, Su Tang didn't want to eat steamed buns anymore. It was also idle to sit around and cook a few dishes to pass the time.
.
Banxia washed the vegetables, Su Tang cut them and put them in the pan, stir-frying, stir-frying, and stir-frying. Finally, it got stuck when adding salt and taking it out of the pan.
Su Tang looked at the yellowed salt in the salt shaker, and the corners of his mouth twitched again and again.
No wonder Xie Boting said that Qiuniang's dishes were actually pretty good. The bitterness of the dish was caused by the salt. The salt has its own bitterness. Even if the flowers are stir-fried, the bitter taste is still there.
Su Tang raised his hand to his forehead, and then smelled the smell of burnt vegetables.
Qiuniang quickly put away the firewood, stood up and realized what was going on. She said sheepishly, "We poor people can't afford snow salt..."
Su Tang looked at Qiuniang, "Do you usually eat salt like this?"
This salt contains minerals, which may not be harmful to the body.
Qiuniang didn't say anything, so she acquiesced.
Su Tang felt ashamed in her heart. She had been staying at Prince Xin's Mansion since she arrived, and she was married to Xie Boting. They were from Ning Dynasty's first-class powerful family. They could fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water, as long as she wanted to eat.
There is nothing they can't eat, but they never thought that even salt tastes bitter to poor people.
Wouldn't it be possible to simply purify it?
Su Tang looked at the salt shaker in his hand and looked at Qiuniang, "How much salt is there?"
Qiuniang didn't understand why Su Tang was asking this, so she said truthfully, "There is still more than half of the bag."
"Bring them all," Su Tang said.
Qiuniang couldn't figure out what Su Tang was going to do, and she didn't dare to ask, so she silently went to get most of the bag of salt.
Su Tang asked Ban Xia to bring a bucket of water, and poured all the salt into the house at once. The speed was so fast that Qiu Niang had no time to stop her, and she felt extremely distressed.
Banxia called Chen Qing over to help, and Su Tang asked Chen Qing to make a simple filter for her using coarse sand, fine sand and ground charcoal, then pour down the melted brine, and put the filtered brine in the pot.
Cook inside.
In the corridor, Xie Boting and Prince Zhongyong stood talking, their brocade robes lifted by the wind, as if they were about to become immortals.
Prince Zhongyong knew that Su Tang was in the kitchen and said with envy, "I didn't expect that my younger siblings can also cook." This chapter has been completed!
