Chapter 174 Preserved Egg and Lean Pork Porridge

The Xu family is really a piece of shit. They actually exploited my third sister's family so much. Fortunately, we split up the family, otherwise we would have been bullied by them for the rest of our lives.

"It's okay. I think their wall will be finished in the next two days, and we can live our own lives from now on."

The Su family was relieved that Su Xiaoyun's family could separate and live on their own.

Su He thought that if the preserved egg business could be successful, she could let their family raise ducks in the future, and then she could help them sell the ducks and duck eggs. Xujia Village had many ponds, so raising ducks was just right.

Wouldn't this provide a livelihood for their family?

However, Su He has not told anyone about this for the time being. He doesn't know whether the preserved egg thing will succeed. Even if it does, he has to see how the new dish sells.

We can talk about this later. If we say it now and it doesn't work out then, it will disappoint people.

As soon as the two finished talking about the Xu family, Su Mu and others took out all the items for the stall from Qianwei Building.

Seeing that there were already diners waiting for the stall to open, several people started to get busy.

After noon, when the number of diners gradually decreased, Su Zhiyan and the other man patted the food stains on their hands and planned to return to the academy.

"Brother Yunqi, please wait a moment."

Su He then remembered what Aunt Rong had told him in the morning. He quickly got up and ran to the ox cart, looking for something.

When Lu Yunqi heard Su He calling his name, he was slightly startled. Seeing her rummaging around in the ox cart, the corners of his mouth slowly lifted up.

After a while, Su He ran towards Lu Yunqi holding a cloth bag.

"This is what Aunt Rong asked me to pass on to you this morning!"

Su He breathed slightly and handed the thing over.

Lu Yunqi pursed his lips and said with a smile in his eyes: "Thank you, Ah He!"

Ever since Su He and his friends set up their stall in the town, Lu Yunqi and Su Zhiyan would often come to help, and they became familiar with each other.

Lu Yunqi also followed the Su family in calling Su He "Ah He", which sounded more intimate and approachable.

Su He has gotten used to it now.

Watching the two people slowly walking away with their things, Su He turned around.

Then she saw Xu Lian, just like Xia Mei did before, standing beside Xia Mei and helping her.

Xia Mei's hands kept moving. While she was doing the work in an orderly manner, she turned her head and whispered to Xu Lian how to do it.

Although Xu Lian seemed a little flustered, she didn't make any mistakes.

Su He raised the corners of her mouth slightly. It seems that it was a good idea to bring her to the town. After a few days, she will be able to stand on her own.

When Xu Lian sat on the ox cart on the way back after closing the stall, she looked a little tired, but she talked more than before.

From time to time, he would tell Su He and Xia Mei about what happened at the stall today.

Xia Mei responded to her patiently. At this time, Xu Lian was just like herself at the beginning, and Xia Mei was very happy to guide her to do things.

Su He looked at the scenery on both sides and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile slightly.

When they returned to the Su family, Old Lady Su and Mrs. Xie surrounded Xu Lian and asked her about what happened in the town today, fearing that she would not be able to adapt.

"It's pretty good. I've learned a lot from my cousin's wife and cousin."

Xu Lian was smiling. This feeling was so much better than when she was in the Xu family. Su He and the others kept praising her for doing a good job.

Xu Lian felt that she was becoming more and more confident. Even though she felt a little tired, she still felt very excited.

When the Su family saw Xu Lian's appearance, they were immediately relieved. However, seeing that she seemed more cheerful than usual, they supported her to continue to stay with Su He and the others.

Ten days later.

Su He calculated that the time was almost up and returned to the Su family from the town.

He couldn't wait to go to the corner of the kitchen, carefully lifted the stamp on it, and took out a few preserved eggs.

She plans to try the preserved egg tonight to see how it tastes.

Su He slowly peeled off the shell of the preserved egg, revealing the black egg inside. Su He picked it up and put it to the tip of his nose to sniff it carefully, and immediately smiled happily.

It’s the aroma of preserved eggs, it must have been cooked successfully!

Xu Lian, who was following behind Su He, saw Su He take out a few duck eggs that had been pickled some time ago from the jar, which was the basket she brought from home.

When I peeled off the eggshell, the inside was black. I guess it must have gone bad. Why did my cousin look so happy?

"Cousin, is this the duck egg I brought last time?"

Xu Lian pointed at the preserved egg that Su He had peeled and placed in the bowl, frowned, and asked softly, "Could it be that it has gone bad?"

It has turned black, so it is definitely not edible.

Although these duck eggs are cheap, you don't have to eat them even though they are spoiled.

Seeing that Su He seemed to treasure the rotten duck egg very much, Xu Lian was thinking about how to persuade her not to eat the rotten egg.

Su He chuckled and quickly explained to Xu Lian:

"It's not spoiled. It's my freshly made preserved egg. It tastes delicious. You'll know when I make it tonight."

Xu Lian was confused. Can this really be eaten?

Su He didn't say a word. She took the basket and went to pick vegetables for dinner.

Su He planned to make some preserved egg and lean meat porridge, so she picked a handful of mustard greens. There were still a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden at this season, so she also picked some cucumbers, peppers, beans, and a handful of sweet potato sprouts.

Back in the Su family's yard, Su He placed the freshly picked vegetables by the well and went into the kitchen.

I scooped two spoonfuls of rice, washed it clean and put it into the pot, then lit the fire and started cooking the porridge.

Taking advantage of this break, I peeled three preserved eggs that I had just taken out, cut them into small pieces and set them aside.

Pick up a piece of lean meat that I bought today, wash it clean, cut it into small pieces, chop it into minced meat, and then sprinkle it with cooking wine to marinate.

After doing all this, he went to the yard, drew water from the well, and washed the vegetables he had just picked from the vegetable garden.

Pick up the cleaned mustard greens, shake off the water, and cut into small pieces.

At this time, the porridge in the pot was almost cooked. Su He first put the chopped meat and preserved eggs into the pot.

While cooking, stir the porridge in the pot slowly and evenly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

After a while, the aroma of the preserved egg and lean pork porridge in the pot began to waft out.

"Is this what century eggs taste like? Why is it different from what I expected?"

Xu Lian was helping to light the fire and sniffed the porridge in the pot with a look of disbelief on her face.

Looking at the black eggs still visible in the pot, they were indeed the eggs that Su He had just peeled and thought were rotten.

But why didn't it smell bad at all? Instead, it had a faint fragrance, which made her want to try it.

Su He smiled and said nothing. Seeing that the porridge in the pot was almost cooked, he sprinkled the freshly cut mustard greens into the pot, added salt to season, stirred evenly, and cooked for a while.
