Wang Ying saw the fried eggs on the table, frowned and pouted, saying, "Chicken again. Eating chicken every day is so unpalatable."
The small peasant economy is fragile. Wang Zheng catches crabs and feeds chickens. The egg production increased, but the price immediately dropped and the eggs could not be sold.
Seeing the old men and women who came to the farm with bamboo baskets to sell eggs, all with dazed looks, Wang Zheng had to have their eggs collected and then distributed to the sickle-spear warriors and archers, who lived on monthly wages.
Wang Wu practiced martial arts every day and was a big eater. When he heard what his sister said, he immediately said, "If you don't want to eat, give it to me. I think you have too much money to burn. You couldn't even have a chicken when you wanted to eat it at home. Brother Zhong shouldn't let you eat such good food."
Luo Xiaomei also frowned a little and said to Wang Zheng, "It's not a good idea to always rely on us to collect and eat the eggs ourselves. Except for the pregnant women in Niu Laosan's family who can eat the eggs with all their heart, everyone else is tired of eating them."
Wang Wu took over the conversation and said, "What can we do if we don't eat them ourselves? There's nowhere to sell them. Chicken eggs are becoming hard to buy in Yuzhou City now.
Besides, chickens are not lucky. They are always damaged along the way. If you sell them, you will definitely lose money. If you can't sell them after a few days, it will be even more troublesome. Chickens will spoil very quickly."
You can't be too quick with the chicken and duck eggs, as they will break if you're not careful. No matter how fast they move, they can't put everything away in time.

The family was making eggs when a strong wind blew and the sky immediately became overcast, followed by dark clouds.
How about I find you some fish farms, open the bamboo curtains and let you catch them. I guarantee there will be plenty of fish and you can catch them to your heart’s content.”
After putting a few pebbles in the colander, I used a larger stone to prop up the back of the colander to ensure that the colander was placed securely. I also pulled some weeds and threw them into the colander to make it difficult for fish to jump out if they came in.
As for how to explain it when it turns into a preserved egg after opening it, just say it is God’s will.
The hilly terrain was full of slopes and bumps. Wang Zheng found a drainage ditch with a small drop and water flow, and placed the colander in his hand.
Someone is already working outside to clear the drainage ditches. The drainage ditches in the terraced fields must be cleared on rainy days, and sometimes the gaps in the fields have to be made bigger and deeper to drain water.
Salted eggs are the simplest to make. Just boil a pot of water, cool it down, put it in a jar, add some salt, and put the chicken and duck eggs in to soak.
Wang Ying looked at the raindrops on the eaves and muttered, "It must be flooding due to such heavy rain. Let's go out and catch some fish. I saw them catching a lot of fish last time the water rose. Fried fish are delicious."
"The Buddha saw a bowl of water with 180,000 insects. The eggs will go bad because the small insects have drilled into them. There is salt in the ashes, and the salt can kill the small insects. This is actually the same principle as soaking salted eggs."
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded. Wang Ying turned around and asked, "Li Si, do you know where to catch fish?"
Wang Ying nodded in satisfaction, patted Li Si's arm, and said, "No, that's boring. Just catch some small fish and shrimp. I like fried fish and shrimp."
Wang Zheng didn't know how to explain the principle of preserved eggs to Luo Xiaomei, so he started making up stories. As long as it made sense, it was fine.
Seeing Wang Zheng's family coming out, Li Si quickly organized a team of people to come over and protect them. "Master, do you want to go out and catch fish?"
As long as it rains a little harder, water will flow out from the gaps in the terraced fields. There are many crucian carps in Shu, and there are basically many in every field.
Preserved eggs are a little bit troublesome to make, but the method is very simple. First, put the chicken and duck eggs in yellow mud, and then roll them in wood ash.
Wang Zheng sent his younger brothers and sisters back to take shelter from the rain, and he himself began to slowly pack up the remaining things in the heavy rain.
The whole family put on straw raincoats and hats, and each person took something woven from bamboo. Wang Ying also asked Wang Wu to carry a large bamboo basket, and then they went out in the rain.
By the time Wang Zheng had packed up everything, taken a shower and changed his clothes, more than half an hour had passed. Although the rain had weakened a little, there was no sign of stopping.
On rainy days, you can just use a colander, scoop dustpan, back basket or something like that and place it in the gaps in the field. You can catch dozens of kilograms of crucian carp in a day.
Li Si thought for a moment and said, "There are places, but you don't have the tools. You can only catch small ditches. There's not much to be gained from those places. There are only small fish and shrimps.
Wang Zheng sighed and said, "Let's eat first. I'll figure out a way to preserve it for a long time. Since you're tired of eating it, let's save it and eat it later."
Otherwise, if the water cannot be drained out in time and overflows the field ridge, it will easily cause the field ridge to collapse, and it will be troublesome to rebuild the field ridge.
Don't believe in those things like preserved egg powder, lime, or other such messy things. They are just to make the preserved eggs look better.
Although the preserved eggs made in this way have no patterns and the taste is just average, they are the healthiest.
The previous few times the water level rose were either at night or during showers, so Wang Zheng and his friends did not go to catch fish. Instead, they bought some small fish from others and fried them.
Luo Xiaomei was watching in wonder, "Can eggs be preserved for a long time by wrapping them in ash like this?"
"We don't have a big bamboo basket, so where can we catch the fish? People usually use bamboo curtains to block the gaps in the fields, so the fish can't escape."
"Little sister, go collect the clothes. Let's pack up quickly. It's going to rain heavily."
Wang Ying said unconvincedly: "There are always some fields without bamboo curtains. Even if they are blocked, there will always be small fish that can escape. Small fish are more delicious. Besides, there are fish in those ditches and ridges. Besides, bamboo curtains can't stop loaches and eels."
Wang Zheng looked at Li Si and found that this guy's eyes were particularly sincere. It is most comfortable to flatter an honest person because he is sincere.
If you want to preserve chicken eggs or duck eggs for a long time, you can just make salted eggs or preserved eggs. Of course, making tea eggs to increase sales is also a way to solve the problem.
After some operations, Wang Zheng said to Wang Ying and the others, "Let's go to another place and have a look. Let's come back later to see if there are any fish."
Li Si followed behind and said with a smile: "I have never seen the host take the fish, but seeing the host put the basket, it is obvious that he is an old hand."
Wang Zheng smiled and said, "You haven't done it, but you haven't seen it yet?"
After finding a place to put down other people's fishing tools, everyone went back to the first place.
Seeing a few small crucian carps rolling in the basket, Wang Ying was overjoyed, "Fish, fish."
