A good husband and fortune

There are many ways to pickle salted duck eggs. When Lin Zhi was young, the most common method he saw was to pickle salted duck eggs with yellow mud and salt. The dug yellow mud was made into a slurry with water, and then the duck eggs were poured in and rolled with a layer of yellow Mud, then pick it up and wrap it with a layer of white salt, put it in a jar and keep it in a sealed place away from light for a month before eating.

There is also a method of five-spice liquor flavor, which is a little more troublesome than marinating with yellow mud, but it will not be so salty after marinating.

It is necessary to wash the duck eggs and dry the water, then use a large pot to boil a boiled water, add chili, star anise, cinnamon leaves and other five-spice seasonings, add a lot of salt and boil, and finally add white wine to the five-perfume, and when the water cools down, Put the dried duck eggs into a jar, then pour the cooled spiced spices into it and keep it sealed, and it will be ready in a month.

Pickling salted duck eggs is easy and not tiring. Lin Zhi worked alone for two hours and finally finished it. He made three big jars. In the end, Lin Zhi couldn't move it, so he asked his family's servants to carry it to the kitchen of the main courtyard. utility room.

"Be careful, don't break these jars of mine, it's over if you break it." Lin Zhi was afraid that the servants would follow behind and tell them to be careful.

These servants who were bought originally thought that after being bought, they would definitely be dragged to do coolies, but they didn't expect to come to Lin's house, eat well and dress warmly. Snacks, the daily work is also easy, there is not too much attention in the house, the most important thing is that the owner does not treat them like animals.

There are monthly cases every month, and there are extra rewards for those who do a lot of work. These people respect Lin Zhi and Shen Yanchuan very much. Basically, they will treat what Lin Zhi says as the truth, and they work very hard.

The salted duck eggs were marinated, and lunch was ready. Lin Zhi was tired from sitting on the small bench for a long time, and now he stood up with back pain.

He didn't want to do anything about serving the food. He sat on the table drinking herbal tea. After the food was served, Lin Zhi asked his servants to go back to the west courtyard for dinner, so he didn't need to wait on the sidelines.

It's hot now, and Lin Shi doesn't think it's too hot. He ran out early in the morning and came back in time for lunch. His forehead was full of sweat, and his face was flushed red.

As soon as he came back, he called Lin Zhi brother.

"elder brother!"

"I'm 12 years old, and I'll be able to find someone to be a matchmaker in two years, and I'm still so edgy." Lin Zhi blamed Lin Shi for running away from home, but he didn't think so in his heart. Seeing Lin Shi being so lively now , he felt very relieved.

After being told by his brother, Lin Shi didn't refute, he just kept laughing.

"Grandpa, Brother Shen." Lin Shi greeted Mr. Li Shen Yanchuan before running to wash his hands and eat.

"Like a hairy monkey all day long, even half-grown boys and dogs would hate it." Lin Zhi didn't wait for Lin Shi, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Mr. Li always doted on Lin Shi, but now Lin Shi went to the academy to study for a long time and only came back once. Naturally, the more he watched, the more he liked it, and he didn't find it annoying.

"It's better if the boys are more lively." Mr. Li cheerfully arranged the bowls and chopsticks for Lin Shi.

Today's dishes are good, and Lin Zhi also told the old lady who cooks at home how to make crayfish.Now this crayfish has become a signature in Qingshui Town.

Although crayfish are everywhere now, if you can go to Hongfu Restaurant to eat crayfish, it means that the family is rich. After all, only Hongfu Restaurant can make delicious crayfish.

Today is the holiday, and Lin Zhi has always been generous. A few days ago, he mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival extra meal, and the servants brought back [-] catties of lobster early in the morning.

All 45 catties were given to the servants of the West Courtyard. Lin knew that there were only five catties of spicy food on their table, because both Shen Yanchuan and Mr. Li liked spicy food.

Lin Zhi ate too much crayfish recently, and he couldn't eat anything in the hot weather, so he only ate some vegetarian dishes, but Lin Shi had a crayfish every now and then.

"How are you studying in the academy?" Lin Zhi didn't want to eat after a few mouthfuls, and asked about Lin Shi's studies.

"I feel pretty good. The master said that I am quite smart, but I was enlightened relatively late." Lin Shi didn't brag about himself, so he said in a down-to-earth manner, "But San'er is very good. Our old master said that today's Qiu Wei, San'er took the test. It’s not a problem to be a scholar.”

San'er is Lin Yao, because he is the third child and Lin Shi is two months older than him, so he is called San'er, Lin Zhi knows it, and he also knows that Lin Yao is very knowledgeable.

But he seemed to remember that Lin Tianbao had also been admitted to Tongsheng, and it was said that his knowledge was also good.

When it came to scientific examinations, Lin Shi talked more and more: "San'er actually worked very hard in the college. If San'er can successfully pass the exam this year, he plans to go to the Juren Examination at the age of 15. After passing the exam, he will go to the Juren Examination. Stay in our county and be a county magistrate."

Lin Zhi didn't expect Lin Yao's ambition to stop in Qingshui Town, he was a little surprised: "Yaoer doesn't want to go to Dadu?"

"No." Lin Shi shook his head, he looked at Lin Zhi and said, "San'er said that he wants to stay in his hometown, and he wants to make everyone in his hometown have enough to eat."

"..."

What Lin Zhi said was so embarrassing. A 12-year-old child can have such an idea, which makes him, a human from the 21st century, feel ashamed.

Should I be righteous once, but even if I am righteous, I still have to settle the accounts clearly.
