The educated youth from the Youth Farm arrived very quickly. Before Zhou Ziwen started grinding tofu, the educated youth over there came over with eggs.
The wealthier ones took two, and the less wealthy ones took one. I learned from several educated youth that some of them had to borrow eggs from others.
In order to eat snake meat boiled eggs, no matter how frugal I usually am, I gritted my teeth and was generous this time.
After all, opportunities are rare. If you miss this one, you don’t know when the next one will be.
Whether they were male or female educated youth, in order to nourish the kidneys and yang, and nourish yin and blood, they would borrow two to cook even if there were no eggs.
Since it concerns myself, I have to borrow it even if I have to be thick-skinned.
"Zhou Zhiqing, thank you for your help." The educated youths held eggs and looked at Zhou Ziwen eagerly.
There are many educated youth with the surname Zhou in the village, but when people talk about Zhou educated youth, they usually refer to Zhou Ziwen.
As for others with the surname Zhou, they are basically called by their names, or the word "comrade" is added after their names.
"It's okay. All educated youth in the world are one family. Let's help each other." Zhou Ziwen was kind and generous, and enthusiastically helped everyone boil eggs.
With Zhou Chaoyang's help, the eggs were washed cleanly and each person boiled several eggs and they were recorded one by one to avoid confusion later.
However, the eggs were cooked together, and they only remembered the quantity. As for which egg was bigger and which was smaller, they could not tell the difference.
Anyway, they just help to boil the eggs, so they don’t care about the size of the problem.
Those who are thoughtful have already made their own marks, and those who are not thoughtful don’t care.
After all, although eggs come in different sizes, the difference is not that big.
"Zhou Zhiqing, I heard you were stewing snake meat. Let's boil some eggs too."
"Xiao Zhou is so lucky. It seems I have to go out for a walk too. It would be great if I could encounter a snake too."
"How can an old man like you compare to Zhou Zhiqing? He's an intellectual, a man of luck."
"Wang Laowu, you little bastard, shut up right there! You can't say that."
When they heard words like "luck", the villagers nearby started cursing.
You can't say that! There are so many people here, and if it gets out, it doesn't matter if he gets hurt, but don't let Zhou Zhiqing get involved!
"Yes, yes, I was confused and my words were a little slippery. Please don't take it to heart."
Wang Laowu finally reacted at this time and slapped himself on the face twice in regret as a punishment.
"Haha, everyone should take out the eggs. We can cook them in one pot." Zhou Ziwen quickly changed the subject.
What good luck or bad luck? Feudal superstition is unacceptable.
"Yes, yes, important matters cannot be delayed."
The villagers hurriedly took out the eggs from their pockets and handed them to Zhou Chaoyang.
As for what happened just now, everyone chose to forget it.
It is better to have less trouble than more, especially since the other party did not mean it.
In this special era, the right thing to do is to live your own life well.
In order to avoid mixing up everyone's eggs, Zhou Ziwen went back into the house and took out a notebook to write down everyone's name and the number of eggs.
After he finished memorizing them, Zhou Ziwen counted them and found that there were a total of one hundred and five.
It is definitely not possible to finish it in one pot, so it has to be divided into two pots.
Fortunately, it doesn’t take long to boil eggs, half an hour is more than enough.
Seeing Zhou Chaoyang washing the eggs and preparing to put them into the pot to cook, Zhou Ziwen suddenly had an idea and hurriedly stopped him.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?" Zhou Chaoyang asked in confusion.
"Don't worry, I have a better way." After saying this, Zhou Ziwen turned around and looked at the educated youth and villagers who were waiting for eggs.
"Folks, I have a better idea."
"What can we do, Zhou Zhiqing? You are an educated person and know more than us. We will listen to everything you say." A villager shouted.
"That's right. If you cook the egg like this, you won't absorb any nutrients. I think you can cook it like tea eggs. First, boil the egg in clean water, then crack the eggshell, and then cook it in snake soup. This way, you can fully absorb the nutrients of the snake meat." Zhou Ziwen explained to the villagers.
As soon as these words were spoken, some people's eyes lit up immediately.
Although they may not have eaten tea eggs, they must have seen them. Tea eggs are sold in breakfast shops in the county.
They understood what Zhou Ziwen meant as soon as they heard it.
Some people think this is a good idea, but others are not so happy about it.
"Zhou Zhiqing, this won't do. You've already done us a great favor by boiling eggs for us. How can we take advantage of you? If the eggs break, all the nutrients in your snake soup will be cooked into them."
Some villagers shook their heads, unwilling to let Zhou Ziwen suffer any loss.
"Haha, Uncle Li, you're wrong. Although the eggs have absorbed the nutrients from the snake soup, my soup has also absorbed the nutrients from the eggs!"
"Come to think of it, although you got the advantage, I didn't suffer any loss!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"this……"
Hearing this, some villagers were a little overwhelmed.
What Zhou Ziwen said seemed to make sense.
Yes, after the eggs are cooked and cracked, they can indeed absorb the nutrients in the soup, but since they are all cooked in one pot, the nutrients in the eggs will also be cooked into the soup!
"Alright, don't bother with that. It's settled." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and immediately said to the Chen sisters who were watching the show at the courtyard gate, "Sister, Yiyi, go back inside and boil a pot of water. I'll bring these eggs in right away."
"It's open and aboveboard. Comrade Zhou Ziwen handled this matter in a really open and honest way." In the crowd, Chen Yang gave him a thumbs up.
Zhou Ziwen's explanation fooled the villagers, but not him.
The claim that snake soup absorbs the nutrients from eggs is all lies.
Can the nutritional value of eggs be compared to that of snake meat? Moreover, Zhou Ziwen had such a large old hen in his pot.
No matter how you look at it, Zhou Ziwen is the one who suffers!
This is also the reason why he praised Zhou Ziwen for being open-minded.
"hehe!"
Zhou Ziwen laughed and didn't care.
He is not a stingy person. Not to mention just helping someone boil an egg, he would have no problem sharing his pot of dragon and phoenix soup with everyone.
But he only had so much Dragon and Phoenix Soup, and with so many people present, it wouldn't be evenly distributed, so he just gave up.
"Chaoyang, come and put the eggs in this basin." Zhou Ziwen took out a larger basin from the house.
"Okay." Zhou Chaoyang agreed and put the eggs into the basin with Zhou Ziwen.
Regardless of the excited villagers and educated youth outside, Zhou Ziwen brought the eggs into the Chen sisters' kitchen, put them in a pot with cold water, and boiled more than a hundred eggs in one pot.
While waiting for the eggs to cook, Zhou Ziwen called Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi and asked them to bring out stools from several houses so that the villagers and educated youth would have a place to sit.
As a result, there were not enough stools, so the discerning educated youth went home and contributed the stools from the educated youth compound.
The Youth House was not far from their house, only about a hundred meters away, so it was only a few steps away. (End of this chapter)
