"Oh, it looks like eggs." Aunt Qian took the clay basin and rummaged around a bit, then reached in and took out five mud balls. Judging from their shape, they looked like eggs.

"I remember now, it's duck eggs! They might have gone bad after so long?" Xu thought about it and suddenly remembered that these seemed to be the duck eggs that Zhuangzi had sent to her family.

At that time, she was worried that she would not be able to finish eating the duck eggs and the salted eggs. As a result, the special price of salted duck eggs offered in the first three days of Yu Wangzhai’s opening became popular a few days ago, which actually drove up the price of duck eggs.

Three days later, the special offer ended, and Yu Wangzhai's salted duck eggs became ten cents for three. Sales were still good, and Xu no longer had to worry about having too few duck eggs.

Looking at the five gray mud eggs in front of her, Aunt Qian felt a little distressed. The village produced a lot of chicken and duck eggs every year, but they could only eat very few of them because every family wanted to sell them for more money.

"Madam, I see that these eggs are wrapped tightly in mud, so they may not go bad. I'll wash them and see." After Aunt Qian said this, she put the five mud eggs aside and went to fetch water.

Yu Hongdou just happened to come over. She was not sure whether she could succeed, so she watched Aunt Qian put the egg in the basin and slowly wash away the muddy shell on the egg.

The green-skinned duck eggs gradually appeared in the water, but unfortunately there were many blue-gray spots on the eggshells.

Mrs. Xu and Aunt Qian had already determined that the egg was bad, but Aunt Qian was not giving up. She took a bowl and knocked the egg against the edge of the bowl. There was a crisp sound, but the eggshell did not crack, but instead a piece of skin was knocked off.

Aunt Qian looked at the dark brown color revealed after the skin peeled off and said with some regret: "It seems to be broken."

"Let me see it." Yu Hongdou didn't think so.

She took the egg from Aunt Qian, stared at the crack in the egg white, then put it close to her nose and sniffed it. She didn't smell any bad smell, so she felt relieved.

Next, she peeled off the shell bit by bit like peeling an egg, and the dark amber egg white and the dark blue yolk gradually appeared before her eyes. Yu Hongdou was 100% sure that she had really made this preserved egg!

I’m so awesome!

Yu Hongdou was so proud. She thanked the school, the teachers and the Internet. She actually managed to make preserved eggs on her first try!

She is such a genius!

"The egg is not bad. It's like this. Aunt Qian, please get me some vinegar." Yu Hongdou put the peeled egg into a bowl.

Aunt Qian sighed, and before turning around, she stared at the egg curiously for several times. She was not sure whether the egg was rotten or not. If it was rotten, why didn’t it smell? If it was not rotten, why was it this color?

"Hongdou, is this really not spoiled?" Xu picked up the bowl and brought it close to her nose to smell it. It had a strange smell, but it didn't seem to be spoiled. She couldn't help but feel confused.

"Mom, believe me, this egg is like this." Yu Hongdou patted his chest confidently.

Aunt Qian quickly came back with half a bowl of vinegar and two pairs of chopsticks.

Yu Hongdou first picked up a small piece of egg white with chopsticks. Just as she was about to bring it to her mouth, she was stopped by Mrs. Xu and Aunt Qian at the same time.

"Miss, can you let me try it first?" Aunt Qian nervously took another pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of egg white and put it into her mouth.

The young lady is young and well-fed, so she must not get an upset stomach. Unlike them, who are brought up in rough conditions and eat a lot of rotten rice and vegetables on a daily basis, she is not afraid of diarrhea at all.

"It's a bit strange, but not bad." Aunt Qian tasted it carefully. It seemed to have a bit of gray taste, but also a unique fragrance.

Yu Hongdou used chopsticks to split the egg in half. The runny gray-green yolk presented a unique beauty, like a piece of jade with a poor texture but emitting fluorescence.

Aunt Qian picked up another half of the egg yolk and put it into her mouth. Yu Hongdou did not stop her, but stared at Aunt Qian's expression carefully.

Yu Hongdou wasn't sure about other places, but there was definitely no such thing as preserved eggs in Anbei County. She wanted to know how ordinary people accepted preserved eggs.

The moment the preserved egg yolk entered her mouth, Aunt Qian's face stiffened for a moment, then she pursed her lips, chewed a few bites quickly, and then looked at her wife and daughter with shining eyes.

"Madam, Miss, this egg is delicious! The taste is very special. It has a bit of the smell of over-leavened dough when you first put it in your mouth, but it becomes more fragrant the more you chew it." It was obvious that the pine egg yolk was very much to Aunt Qian's taste.

Yu Hongdou smiled and waved to Xu who wanted to try it too: "Mom, wait a minute."

Yu Hongdou cut the remaining half of the preserved egg into two, picked up a piece, dipped it in a little vinegar and put it to her mother's mouth.

Xu opened her mouth and frowned slightly, then immediately relaxed and narrowed her eyes.

"It's delicious! It's perfect as a side dish for drinking." Mrs. Xu touched her daughter proudly.

Her red beans are amazing! They can easily make something so delicious!

Yu Hongdou asked Aunt Qian to clean the remaining four preserved eggs, then called Duan Zhuangtou over and gave him one to eat.

When Duan Zhuangtou saw the peeled preserved eggs, he was attracted by the color and pattern of the eggs. After taking a bite, he immediately praised them.

"Miss, this egg is made of duck eggs? Is it difficult to make?" After eating an egg, Duan Zhuangtou also understood the reason why the lady called him over.

"It's not difficult, just use wood ash..." Yu Hongdou told Duan Zhuangtou the whole process.

When Duan Zhuangtou heard that the shelf life of duck eggs cooked in this way could be extended to half a year to a year and that they would not be afraid of bumps, he was overjoyed and said frankly that he thought the eggs could be sold in Anbei City as another specialty of Yu Wangzhai.

"I was just worried that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it would be hard to preserve chicken and duck eggs. Chicken eggs were still okay, and they could be sold anyway. Duck eggs were not popular with most people except for salted eggs. Miss, this trick has solved the problem."

As the number one fan of Kua Kua, Duan Zhuangtou wishes he could carry his young lady to the sky. How come his young lady is so capable that she can come up with a golden idea just by thinking about it!

Yu Hongdou was so pleased with the compliments that she smiled happily. Fortunately, she was used to being complimented and didn't get carried away.

I told Duan Zhuangtou that we should pay attention to the temperature of the production environment, and it would be best to make several batches in several locations, and then record the time and environment and other instructions.

For the remaining three preserved eggs, Yu Hongdou had one cut during lunch, poured ginger and vinegar on it and sent it to the front yard to entertain Wen Daozhi. She planned to keep the remaining two for her father or brother to come back and let them taste them first.

The wait lasted for three days. When Yu Sanlang, who had just emerged from the mountains covered in dust and dirt, appeared in front of his daughter again, Yu Hongdou was studying with her teacher how to quickly pluck all the duck's feathers.

In her previous life, when she was in the countryside, almost no one ate duck. She thought duck meat had a fishy smell and people in her hometown didn't like to eat it.

Today, the master and his apprentice suddenly remembered to make roast duck, and then they discovered that their old folks didn’t like to eat duck. There might be another reason, that is, the fine hair on the duck is too difficult to handle!
