Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

The Dragon Boat Festival is getting closer, the festive atmosphere is getting stronger, and the streets are getting more and more lively.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the shop decoration to be lazy for a few days, but thinking of earning so much less money every day, Gu Qingyou still couldn't sit still.

"Shuang Jiang, have you bought all the ingredients I asked you to prepare in the kitchen?"

As the weather was getting hotter, Gu Qingyou couldn't bear to tie those complicated buns, so she simply put her hair in a ball and fixed it on the top of her head with a simple hairpin.

The regular clothes on the body are also made into separate styles. Not only is it cool, but it is also convenient to go to the toilet after drinking too much herbal tea.

Shuang Jiang came in with a few salted duck eggs, saw her attire, and couldn't help complaining: "Miss, you look so good, why did you pretend to be an aunt? I should laugh at you when the princess comes!"

Gu Qingyou didn't care about these things, she concentrated on writing on the paper, and said triumphantly: "Don't worry, she won't laugh at me, she will just follow suit!"

Shuang Jiang curled her lips, there is nothing wrong with what she said, doesn't the princess just like to be weird with the young lady?

It was rare that she didn't talk back, Gu Qingyou looked up, saw two sapphire-like duck eggs in her hand, and said, "The duck eggs have been marinated? How does it taste? Is there any sand? Is there a lot of oil?"

"The days are almost over. As for the taste, you have to taste it yourself."

To make zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Qingyou specially asked someone to import a batch of sea duck eggs from the south, and planned to pickle the salted duck eggs himself.

However, the fresh duck eggs are afraid of being broken, even if it is by water, it will take more than ten days. For the convenience of transportation, she brought a recipe for pickling duck eggs, and pickled the purchased sea duck eggs into the jar on the spot.

But this move greatly increased the transportation cost, so these duck eggs were very precious, and Shuang Jiang would definitely bring them to her to taste the first pot.

Gu Qingyou thought about it for a long time, and almost couldn't wait to take the warm duck egg. The round touch was like high-quality warm jade, which made her reluctant to break it for a while, so she carefully placed it on the table.

Shuang Jiang also wanted to see how the duck eggs she had traveled all the way to the south were different from the ones laid in Beijing. Seeing that she was still reluctant to do it, she couldn't help but urged, "What's wrong, miss? Is the egg too hot?" ? How about slaves stripping it for you?"

"No, no, I'll be fine."

After Gu Qingyou finished speaking, he picked up one and gently cracked it on the corner of the table, peeled off the broken eggshell, and revealed the tender and smooth egg white inside, and smelled it closely, it seemed that he could still smell the sea breeze.

Shuang Jiang reminded: "Miss, when peeling the eggs, you should peel the eggs at the big end, and you can see the yolk in one go."

"I know, I'm afraid that there will be too much oil, and it will flow out all at once."

Gu Qingyou picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up the egg white on top, gently put it in his mouth and sipped it, the unique delicate taste of sea duck eggs occupied every corner of his mouth by the way.

"Well, neither salty nor bland is just right."

She said she took another piece and fed it to Shuang Jiang, who couldn't help but exclaimed, "No wonder you have to travel thousands of miles to buy duck eggs, they taste really different!"

Although there are salted duck eggs sold in Shangjing, most of the egg whites are salty and cold. Occasionally, if you encounter a well-made egg yolk, the salted egg yolk can produce some oil, which can be regarded as making up for the lack of egg white.

But the sea duck eggs that Gu Qingyou marinated, the egg whites are as soft and tender as fresh duck eggs, you don't need to chew them in your mouth, and the tip of your tongue will open when you sip it. …

"The main event is coming! Don't blink!"

As the egg white is peeled off, a golden translucent film is exposed in the middle of the duck egg. Under the film, the red-orange egg yolk is clearly visible.

Because the duck eggs are hot, Gu Qingyou only took a chopstick and poked lightly on the film, and saw the film puff, and as the chopsticks pierced in, a gold-like liquid gushed out quickly. Soon a thick layer was accumulated in the eggshell.

"Wow, this is the first time I have seen someone marinate duck eggs with so much oil!"

You must know that in their house, regardless of eggs or duck eggs, they have to save up money to sell and buy medicines for their mothers. Only during the New Year and holidays, they will be willing to take out one or two and put them in a jar to marinate and eat.

There are four people in the family, and often a duck egg has to be divided into several parts. She was very sensible when she was young, and she knew that the delicious food should be filial to her parents and love her younger brother, so every time she left for herself, it was only egg whites the size of a fingernail.

Because of their preciousness, duck eggs have to be marinated for a long time, and the salting is extremely salty. The egg white inside is as hard as parchment, which is not much better than eating salt directly. Just this, it is still one of the few luxurious delicacies in her childhood.

Looking at the oily egg yolk in Gu Qingyou's hands, Shuang Jiang's homesickness was aroused, and immediately sank down.

Seeing the change in her expression, Gu Qingyou secretly thought that she was confused, now that Shuangjiang is no longer a concubine of the Duke's mansion, and the money she earns every month is enough to support the whole family, why didn't she expect that Shuangjiang would bring his family to her side? ?

"Shuang Jiang, you have been in Beijing for so long, do you feel homesick?"

Shuang Jiang nodded honestly: "Golden nest and silver nest are not as good as my own kennel. Although my family is so poor that I can't get rid of it, but I have been away for a long time, and it is impossible to think about it."

Seeing that Gu Qingyou was thinking, she panicked, stood up quickly and said: "Miss, why did you ask this suddenly? Is it because the servant is not doing well enough, you want to drive the servant back to his hometown?"

"You girl, what are you thinking?"

Gu Qingyou was amused by her: "I was thinking, since you have gained a foothold in Shangjing, have you ever thought about taking over your family?"

I thought she would readily agree, but without even thinking about it, Clinker Shuangjiang shook her head like a rattle drum: "That's not okay, not to mention that they are not in good health and should not travel far, I am serving you as a maid, they are here How should it be arranged?"

At that time, it is necessary to cause trouble for the master, Shuang Jiang thought that he could not repay Gu Qingyou's kindness, so he would not bother her no matter what.

Gu Qingyou disagreed and said: "Since I'm your family member, I should also call you uncle and aunt. Why is it just causing trouble? Besides, your younger brother has also reached the age of enrollment. After all, there are more famous schools in Beijing. Don't you want to let him Does he have a famous teacher?"

"This……"

If it was about other things, Shuang Jiang could flatly refuse, but when it came to her younger brother, she hesitated.

The younger brother is the only child in the family, almost bought by the mother with half of her life. Although she can subsidize the family now, if she wants to truly shine in the future, she has to rely on her younger brother.

Her hometown is too remote, most of the local people are poor, and many children cannot afford to go to school, so there are almost no schools established.

The children of rich families will either gather in small groups and invite a famous teacher to give lectures directly at home, or they will spend money to send them to famous books far away. I'm afraid her parents won't trust her, but the money she earns can't afford to hire a teacher, so it's really difficult.
