After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun was too lazy to argue with the man in front of him, and directly took out Xie Shuer's indenture contract: "My Lord, Xie Shuer has sold herself to my family to pay off her father's gambling debts. I asked her to stay here to watch the house last night. But today this person said that he sold my family's people without permission, and sold them to a place like that. This is not in accordance with etiquette and law. He also broke into my house without permission and smashed my things. He is suspected of stealing property. Such criminals should be killed by everyone!"

Bai Qingyun didn't want to make the news of Xie Shuer selling her body known to everyone, but that was the only way given the current situation. However, Bai Qingyun still chose to tell everyone the reason, at least to let outsiders know that Xie Shuer sold her body not for money but for filial piety.

"Nonsense, I am his father, how could she sell herself to others without permission? Such an unfilial person should be imprisoned!"

"I was the one who sold Shu'er to the Bai family!" Grandpa Xie, who had been watching from the corner for a long time, said, looking at Xie's father, the disappointment in his eyes could not be concealed. "You only know how to gamble and hang out in brothels. You are unfilial to your father and you don't support your daughter. If we talk about unfilial, you should be punished by the government! I am the grandfather of this child, and I have the right to decide where to sell her!"

"The neighbors are all here to bear witness for me. Today I will write a letter of severance, severing the father-son relationship with you, an unfilial thing. Whether you become rich or poor in the future, it has nothing to do with me!"

The Xie family has lived here for many years. Grandpa Xie is a kind man and often helps poor families nearby. Most of those people are disgusted by the behavior of Xie's father sucking blood from Grandpa Xie, but usually this is someone else's family affair and it is not easy for everyone to interfere.

Now that Grandpa Xie has spoken, everyone naturally supports him: "Uncle Xie, don't worry! This kid has done so many bad things over the years, and you have gritted your teeth to help him deal with them. From now on, even if we are no longer related, you are my uncle. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know and I will definitely come to help you!"

The young man who spoke was called Wang Er. He was not tall, but honest and simple. Xie Shu'er had heard him say yesterday that he was from a family next door to the Xie family. His father died early, and he was raised by his mother with great difficulty. At the beginning, Grandpa Xie saw that their family was poor, so he found a job for the young man. Although the money was not much, it was enough for their daily expenses, and their lives became better.

Wang Er works hard and is a down-to-earth man. Since Grandpa Xie passed away, he has lost his job. Not only does he have to take on odd jobs, he also often comes to the Xie family to help.

With Wang Er's support, all the people around who had received help from Grandpa Xie responded.

Xie's father then began to panic. His daughter had already sold herself, and if his father still didn't want him, he would be left with no one to rely on. However, Yang Dashan received a look from Bai Qingyun, and without waiting for Xie's father to react, he signaled his men to take Xie's father to the yamen.

The effect Bai Qingyun wanted has been achieved, and he has important things to do, so he naturally doesn't want to get too entangled.

It was a fact that things in the house were smashed, including the many eggs and duck eggs that Bai Qingyun had asked Xie Shuer to buy yesterday. Bai Qingyun no longer needed to worry about these things. With the introduction of Yang Dashan, Bai's father directly asked someone to write a letter to sue Xie's father in the government, and what followed was the letter of severance of the relationship from Grandpa Xie.

The staff of Zuichunlou knew that they could not arrest the person smoothly, so they took advantage of the time when Xie's father and Bai Qingyun were arguing and ran back. Bai Qingyun saw it but did not stop them. They just followed orders and reported the situation to the master behind them, who would naturally go to trouble Bai's father.

As expected, Bai Qingyun did not want to kill Xie's father because of his kindness to Xie Shu'er. He just wanted to teach him a lesson in prison so that he would cause less trouble to Xie Shu'er after he was released.

However, after Xie's father signed Xie Shuer's indenture at Zuichunlou, he took the money from the sale to the gambling house. Now that the indenture has expired and he cannot bring the person back, he needs to return the money.

Since Xie's father could not come up with the money, Zuichunlou accused Xie's father of deliberately signing a fake contract to defraud the money. There is a huge difference in the punishment for paying back a debt and being suspected of fraud under the Dazhao Law.

The former only needs to repay the money on time to be exempted from punishment, while the latter is immoral and not conducive to the local folk education, which is the basis for the promotion of local officials. If Xie's father is convicted of fraud, it will be tantamount to smearing the achievements of the local county magistrate in education and blocking the official's path to promotion. Naturally, the officials will not let this person go easily.

But these have nothing to do with Bai Qingyun.

After this incident, Grandpa Xie's condition worsened a lot. Bai Qingyun had no choice but to secretly add spiritual spring water to the medicine when Xie Shuer boiled it. He didn't dare to put too much at once, as an ordinary person's body could not bear it. After Grandpa Xie drank the medicine, he obviously looked much better.

While the two were boiling the medicine, Father Bai went to the street to buy some eggs and duck eggs. Many of the eggs sold on the street were produced by farmers, and the quantity was not large. Father Bai went to several stores before he bought two full baskets.

It's enough to call her Xie Shuer.

Bai Qingyun had wanted to sell preserved eggs and salted duck eggs for a long time. However, his three older brothers had to go to school and his father had to go fishing and deliver fish every day. There was a shortage of labor at home, so Bai Qingyun had to put the business on hold. Now he had the chance to start preparing in the county town.

There are many ways to make preserved eggs. When there is no lime powder, you can use soda ash instead, or you can use cooked soil, clay and other materials. Bai Qingyun chose the simplest method.

Mix wood ash, yellow mud, water and salt in proportion, put the egg in it and make the mixture evenly coat the surface, then put the egg in the bran and evenly coat the surface.

Gently put the eggs into the jar and store them. It is hot now, so you only need to store them in the jar for about 5 days before you can eat them. If you want to eat naturally matured preserved eggs, you need to wait longer, but they will taste better.

The production of salted duck eggs is even simpler.

Wash the duck eggs and put them in a well-ventilated place to dry. Roll the duck eggs in white wine and then put them in a jar. The jar must be free of water and oil to ensure that the duck eggs will not go bad during the pickling process.

Prepare salt water, stir evenly after boiling, and cool. Pour the saturated salt water into the jar containing duck eggs. The salt water should cover the duck eggs. Add a certain amount of white wine to promote the oil production of salted duck eggs.

Seal and soak, turn over every half a month to ensure even pickling. In the hot summer, pickle for about 28 days and then cook and eat.

Of course, there are no rigid restrictions on the materials used to make preserved eggs and salted eggs. You can try making preserved eggs with duck eggs and salted eggs with chicken eggs.

However, many farmers raise more chickens and fewer ducks, which resulted in not many duck eggs purchased by Father Bai today.
