Chapter 171 A Little Charming (Part 2)
Seeing her bright eyes, Cui Hejin asked softly, "Do you want some salted duck eggs?"
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "No, it's the duck egg yolks that can be used to make egg yolk pastries, which are more delicious."
"When it's done, you and mom will taste it and you'll know how it tastes."
"Well, I'll go back and help you build the bread oven."
Cui Hejin was really worried that Jiang Zhiluo would suffer.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's okay. If it can't be done right away, we can just build it tomorrow. With the bricks, it will be done quickly."
"Let's go home and pickle the duck eggs first."
"good."
As if she had thought of something, Jiang Zhiluo said, "Oh, the kudzu root powder is ready. Bring some to Mr. Li when you go to the school tomorrow. You can make some with it."
"Just scoop two spoonfuls into a bowl, mix it with warm water first, then boil it in boiling water, stirring while brewing. Once it becomes a paste, you can scoop it out with a spoon. Of course, if conditions permit, you can add some honey, sugar, rose petals, or black sesame seeds..."
"Don't say you don't need it. I know Mr. Li takes good care of you. Bring a small bag with you tomorrow. Even if Mr. Li doesn't want to eat it, you can give it to his wife or son and daughter-in-law."
Not to mention that sometimes there were things going on at home, so Cui Hejin could take a leave conveniently. Even before, Mr. Li allowed him to advance his monthly salary.
Cui Hejin said calmly, "Mr. Li really liked the two bottles of chili meat sauce you gave him last time."
Cui Hejin knew that these things were made by Zhiluo, and they were the money she worked hard to earn to supplement the family income.
He couldn't feel at ease giving it away.
This will make him feel very guilty.
So Cui Hejin never mentioned it.
He didn't know how important he was to Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo said readily, "When Mr. Li has almost finished his meal, I'll send two more bottles over."
“Actually, no need!”
He would occasionally copy a book from memory and send it to a bookstore to sell, and he would also buy some things to send to Mr. Li.
However, because of Chen Huadie's matter, Cui Hejin hasn't been to the bookstore for a long time.
After returning home, Jiang Zhiluo smelled the aroma of stewed food.
Jiang Zhiluo took out the duck eggs and said, "Mom, Aunt Li gave me a dozen duck eggs."
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't wait to share this with Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui knew that the villagers were aware of the situation and was very happy. She said, "Your Aunt Li is a sincere person. She gave it to you sincerely."
"In our village, your Aunt Li and her husband are capable. They have two daughters and a son who can also help with work. They not only raise pigs but also chickens and ducks. They are very hardworking and live a good life."
Jiang Zhiluo thought of Li's big and strong appearance, and he looked like he had the strength to work.
Before, they hired villagers to work on their land and paid them ten cents a day.
Originally, we only wanted to use some strong men to do the work, but some women in the village were more capable than men, so we also used some capable women.
Mrs. Li was well-known for her diligence and strength, so she was hired to help farm.
When Jiang Zhiluo returned home, Mrs. Cui had already washed the duck eggs she had picked up at the foot of the mountain and put them aside to control the moisture.
Jiang Zhiluo saw that the duck eggs given by Li were all washed, so there was no need to drain the water again.
She crushed the dry yellow mud, added salt water and rice wine and stirred it into a paste.
Yellow wine is naturally the cheapest kind available in the market, and is usually used for cooking and seasoning.
Just pour some and stir it up.
After stirring, Cui Hejin came over to help and coated the duck eggs evenly with yellow mud according to Jiang Zhiluo's instructions.
Then put it into the jar, put some yellow mud into the jar and seal it.
"Okay, this will take a month to pickle."
Looking at the jars, Jiang Zhiluo thought about the salted duck eggs she had pickled herself, and smiled with her eyes curved.
It feels quite fulfilling to make food by yourself.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin and found that even though Cui Hejin had just helped to smear the yellow mud, only his hands were stained with the mud, and his body was clean.
After everything was done, Cui Hejin washed his hands.
When Jiang Zhiluo washed her hands, Cui Hejin looked at the yellow mud on her cheek and whispered, "Don't move!"
As he spoke, Cui Hejin took out a towel and carefully and gently wiped away the yellow mud on Jiang Zhiluo's cheek, including the little bit of yellow mud on her hair.
When Cui Hejin did such things, his movements were gentle and careful.
He leaned a little close, and Jiang Zhiluo could smell the clean and refreshing scent on him.
Kind of charming.
"alright!"
Jiang Zhiluo can breathe normally.
But my face was a little hot.
Fortunately, it was getting dark now, otherwise she would have been worried that her face would have turned red.
…
However, the Niu family in the village had just finished dinner and seemed to be still reluctant to leave.
Liu Cang said, "I didn't expect the chili meat sauce to go so well with rice. It's so delicious."
Niu was also amazed and said: "This is really a good thing."
"No wonder the Cui family is so profitable. Such delicious chili sauce is sure to attract a lot of buyers."
Liu Cang said, "I don't know the price either."
Niu said, "This thing is not cheap, forget it. We can just buy some bones to make soup and eat more eggs."
"This thing changes the taste."
Shanmao said, "Mom, it's delicious."
"It's a bit spicy, I can't eat too much."
If you eat just a little bit, you can eat two big mouthfuls of steamed bread.
Shanmao said: "Sister Jiang is amazing, she can cook delicious food."
"Of course not. In our entire village, there's no one as capable as your sister Jiang."
"Our spring plowing is all thanks to your sister Jiang."
"You have to learn your skills well too."
After thinking for a while, Niu finally said, "If the harvest is good this year, I'll buy a bottle when I buy New Year's goods."
When talking about the Chinese New Year, everyone's heart is filled with anticipation.
We work hard all year long just to have a good new year.
I only make delicious food during the Chinese New Year.
…
But on the other side
County Magistrate's Backyard
After returning home, Jian Yunyin went to find her eldest brother and told him that there was something wrong with Ding Chefu and He Muqiang.
Jian Yunci was weak, but he couldn't lie down, so he leaned on the chair in the study, covered himself with something, and read.
Hearing his sister's words, his expression changed slightly. He put down the book in his hand, looked at his sister seriously and said, "Yun Yin, how did you guess?"
His sister wasn't that smart, otherwise she wouldn't have been nearly killed by that family.
Jian Yunyin said, "Brother, it was Zhiluo who helped me analyze it. Zhiluo is amazing. She is my lifesaver."
Jian Yunci knew that Jian Yunyin often mentioned the name of a girl named Jiang Zhiluo.
The whole family knows.
If he hadn't fallen off the carriage and been injured, the whole family would have gone to thank the girl.
But the Jane family's affairs were a bit complicated, and the family discussed that in order not to cause trouble for the girl, it would be better not to let anyone know that they were involved.
However, since Yunyin likes to find that girl, they won't care too much.
A look of surprise flashed across Jian Yunci's eyes, "This girl doesn't look like a country girl."
"Brother, believe what I say."
Jian Yunci said, "I believe it. My father and I also suspect Ding Changzhu, so we're keeping him for now to lure him out."
"He Muqiang?"
He naturally suspected that his injury that day was definitely not an accident.
However, He Muqiang has been quietly recuperating at home during this period and has not had any contact with anyone.
His people are still investigating.
"Did Miss Jiang say anything? Tell your brother in detail."
