After I was spurned, the champion husband exploded

Chapter 15 Buying Duck Eggs

I saw the main door of Zhuangzi from a distance. It was open, but I couldn't get in if I wanted to. There was a boy guarding the door. As soon as the mother and daughter approached, the boy guarding the door came out of the shade.

"What are you two doing?"

The boy's tone was unkind and he looked sideways at the mother and daughter. His eyes fell on Su Yu, and his picky tone was very obvious.

That look made Su Yu very uncomfortable. If she had stared back in modern times, but thinking that she had time traveled, she could only suppress her impatience.

"My little brother, we are new villagers who moved to Yujia Village. We want to buy some duck eggs. I heard from the villagers in the village that only your village has them, so I came to ask, do you sell duck eggs in the village?"

Shuanzi, the gatekeeper, wondered if he was hallucinating. It was really rare for a villager to come to his village to buy duck eggs. Normally, only people from his village would go to the village to buy things. How could he have seen villagers come to his village to buy things? .

Lian's dealings with the villagers in the village can be justified, but seeing the appearance of the gatekeeper, she is a little hypocritical, and Su Yu doesn't embarrass her mother.

"Brother, we sincerely want to buy duck eggs. Could you please ask the steward in Zhuangzi if they can sell them? We want as many duck eggs as there are in Zhuangzi."

Su Yu sounded like the family was not short of money, but Shuanzi had been guarding the door for three years and was confident that he had a good eye for people. The mother and daughter in front of him didn't look like they were rich, but they looked like people who sold their children in the past.

People are not small but they are not small. There are at least [-] or [-] ducks raised in their Zhuangzi. As far as he knows, there are hundreds of duck eggs in it.Originally, he didn't plan to pay attention to the mother and daughter, but when he thought of the girl's bravado, he wanted to see what it would be like if he couldn't afford the money to buy duck eggs later.

"You guys wait here, I'll ask the steward."

Seeing the boy leaving, Su Yu's lips curled up slightly.

The idea of ​​buying eggs to fool the villagers was acceptable, but the people in the village, especially the stewards, are much more powerful than the villagers. Su Yu changed his mind and planned to buy all the duck eggs in the village for fear that others would see his flaws. , I don't believe how many duck eggs there are in Zhuangzi, there are only a few hundred in the sky.

As soon as the people left, Mrs. Lian immediately panicked.

"Yu'er, why did you buy them all? There are still some that can't be used. What will you do then?"

"Mom, don't worry, I have my own way, and this money will never be wasted."

Although Ms. Lian still felt uneasy, after hearing what her daughter said, she had no choice but to take a look before talking.

The bolt snapped back quickly.

"Let's go, don't keep Manager Sun waiting."

Mrs. Lian took her daughter's hand and followed. The three of them walked around for a while before they reached a row of houses. Smelling the aroma of food wafting from inside, it was not difficult to guess that this was the village's kitchen.

A room next to it is used to store rice, flour, grains and oil. Except for the chickens and ducks eggs that are sent to the town, the rest is here.

Shuanzi nodded and bowed.

"Sun Guanshi, this is the mother and daughter who want to buy duck eggs."

"Why do you buy so many duck eggs?"

Originally, such a trivial matter as selling duck eggs did not require Steward Sun to come forward in person, but he was a little curious, so he came to have a look.

"My family is in the catering business. I need to use eggs and duck eggs. I heard that Zhuangzi has them, so my mother and I came here to ask."

Manager Sun withdrew his gaze from Lian and lowered his head to Su Yu. Unexpectedly, between mother and daughter, it was the daughter who made the decision.

"I have five hundred duck eggs here, are you sure you want them all?"

"I want to see the goods first."

With a wave of Steward Sun's hand, Shuanzi entered the side room and came out with a large basket of duck eggs.Su Yu glanced at the well-preserved duck eggs, and the mother and daughter went up to count them, and after confirming that the quantity was correct, they asked Lian to pay for the money.

Mrs. Lian felt very sad. She took out a couple of silver coins from her arms and handed them to Shuan Zi next to her.

Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Manager Sun felt bored and left first, but what he didn't expect was that the mother and daughter he looked down on at the beginning would eventually become noble people that his master could not match.

Shuanzi still can't believe it. The mother and daughter could actually buy more than 500 duck eggs. Are they [-] duck eggs? That's one tael of silver. His monthly salary is only [-] coins. I had to work for five months to save up, but now it’s great. I originally wanted to see other people’s jokes, but I didn’t expect that I became a joke.

On the way out of Zhuangzi, Shuanzi's face was tense, and he led people outside Zhuangzi without even looking at the mother and daughter.

As soon as the people left, Lian's face collapsed. After buying so many duck eggs, she didn't know how many of them could be used.

Seeing that there was no one around, Su Yu hurriedly said what was in his heart because he was afraid that his old lady would be thinking about it.

"Mom, don't worry. We'll hatch ducklings if they can be used. I have a recipe here for those that can't be hatched. If you follow it, the supply will definitely exceed the demand. Don't worry when the time comes."

"You didn't lie to my mother."

"When did your daughter lie to you?"

Mrs. Lian thought about it. Although her daughter was a bit naughty in the past, she had never deceived her or the boss.

"Okay, let's get the duck eggs back first. I don't know how many of them can be used?"

Mrs. Lian whispered softly, and the mother and daughter each carried a basket of duck eggs home.It was already dusk when we got home. There were more than a dozen bamboos piled up in the house, which the father and son had cut this afternoon.

Su Yu put the duck eggs away and walked to her father. She was so focused on buying them that she forgot to tell her father.

"Dad, please make me some frames first. They should be this wide and this high."

Su Yu gestured a few times.

"It doesn't have to be very strong, just usable. I use it to hatch chicks. I think it will take eight."

"Okay, I will rush to work with your elder brother tonight, and I will make it for you tonight."

After talking about business, everyone went to work, Su Yu picked out the duck eggs that could be used, and Mrs. Lian prepared the family's dinner.

Duck eggs are bigger than chicken eggs, but people here obviously don't like ducks very much, and even duck eggs are not easy to sell. Although duck eggs are bigger, the price is the same as eggs, two yuan a piece.Although Su Yu knew that people here didn't like ducks very much, she wasn't worried at all. The popular Beijing roast duck was not just for bragging rights. It just so happened that she knew how to cook it. When the ducks were bred, she would sell the recipe to the town. Or a restaurant in the county town, and then they can sell their own ducks to them, and they will not worry about not being able to sell them at that time.

As for selling roast ducks by herself, Su Yu never thought about it. Artificially hatching chickens, which is a common practice in later generations, would be against the sky in ancient times.

Pick and choose, put aside the eggs and duck eggs that can be used, and use the unusable ones to make preserved eggs. There is no such thing as preserved eggs in Dazhi Dynasty. In Su Yu's view, preserved eggs are the same as durians. For example, those who like it don't like it, and those who don't like it avoid it, but she doesn't produce much, and she doesn't need everyone to like it.
