The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 392: Boiled Eggs and Bacon
Bai Meixi is getting married. She has been exhausted today, and she must have a good rest.At the same time, she gave about a pound of meat bought at the market to her sister-in-law, saying that she bought it with her own money for extra meals.

"Meixi, I'm really sorry that your private money is used again." The sister-in-law took the meat and felt sorry for Bai Meixi on her face. She felt that the money should be used from the public account, not Bai Meixi's. Creek private.

After all, Bai Meixi has already subsidized a lot of money for her family, and she doesn't have much left.

"It's okay, I'm of no use anyway." Bai Meixi said with a smile. In fact, the sister-in-law doesn't know how much private money she has. If she knew, she would definitely be shocked. Of course, this assumption will not come true.

"You see, I have food and shelter, so I don't have to spend much money. Besides, Daniu and Dabao are both growing, and they are at the age where they need to eat more meat."

This time, the sister-in-law couldn't resist Bai Meixi, so she stopped talking and went to cook.Cheng's mother came in from outside and heard the conversation between the two, and she felt even more sorry for Bai Meixi.

After walking in, he took Bai Meixi to the room to sit and chat.

"Meixi, you always think about starting a family and never think about yourself." Cheng's mother sighed, "We, the third child, are really lucky to marry you in eight lifetimes!"

This is indeed what she is thinking. After all, she sees Bai Meixi's contribution to the family.Not only does she have to take charge of the family's financial income and expenses, but she also has to do all the household chores herself. From time to time, she also uses her own private money to supplement the family's life. She is really a good and virtuous wife.

Bai Meixi smiled and said: "Mom, I should be lucky enough to get married and start a family. Come on, don't talk like this in the future. We are all a family!"

Cheng's mother had a look of relief on her face, as if she had thought of something and immediately asked, "Meixi, when are you going to visit your relatives? Are you making preparations?"

The journey to visit relatives was long, and she couldn't help but worry. What she was thinking was that there were a lot of things to prepare, and she didn't know whether Bai Meixi could handle it alone.

Bai Meixi nodded, "Well, I plan to leave next week, and I'm starting to make preparations now. Don't worry."

Cheng's mother finally felt at peace. It seemed that Bai Meixi was ready, so she said happily, "You should have gone to visit relatives a long time ago, and now you are finally about to leave. It's great."

Needless to say, Bai Meixi also knew what Cheng's mother was planning. She had been urging her to visit relatives for several months.In fact, she also wanted to go, but it was really inconvenient to deal with many things in this era, which was why it had been delayed for so long.Fortunately, she was about to leave soon, and she was full of expectations for the rest of the journey.

When Bai Meixi went to the space again, she made a special trip to see the meat. The preservation of the meat in the space was better than outside. The meat could be kept fresh for 10 days and half a month in a large vat, so the meat still looked very fresh. No problem.However, leaving it like this was not a good idea. She thought about it and decided to use 300 kilograms of bacon to smoke it, so that the meat could be stored for a long time.

As for the remaining 200 kilograms or so, put it away for now and eat it slowly later!

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu could actually make smoked bacon, which saved Bai Meixi a lot of work.But what is needed is something like wood or branches, and Bai Meixi needs to collect it.

She also picked up some of these things on the barren hills. After all, the amount needed was not large, and they were quickly given to Aunt Liu.Then Aunt Liu started to smoke the meat. She tied all the meat with ropes and hung it on the roof. Then she burned the branches under the meat and smoked it.

After the meat was cooked, Bai Meixi took a piece and smelled it. It really tasted like the bacon she had seen before. It was really great.And the meat of this bacon looks firm, so it must taste delicious.She happily put the 300 kilograms of bacon into the tank and planned to move on to the next thing.This is the thing about eggs. The meat can be made into bacon and can be stored for a long time. She plans to make the eggs into tea eggs for convenience.

What surprised her was that Aunt Liu could also make tea eggs.

"Aunt Liu, you are really amazing. You can do so many things." Bai Meixi admired Aunt Liu very much and felt that Aunt Liu was the one who could do everything.

Aunt Liu smiled honestly and said, "Girl, these things are very simple, so I can do them. Moreover, the transportation in our village is inconvenient, and we also need to make some bacon for long-term storage. It just so happens that I can do these two things." That’s it. If you asked me to do anything else, I probably wouldn’t.”

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu was still very humble, and she cleverly covered up her strengths.

Bai Meixi felt that such a person was low-key and meaningful, someone she liked to interact with, and she respected and liked Aunt Liu's family even more.

The process of tea eggs is indeed not complicated, and Bai Meixi is always there to help.She first boiled 60 tea eggs, so that she could see how they turned out, and secondly, they would be enough to eat recently.

Aunt Liu slowly put the eggs, tea leaves, star anise, cinnamon, and salt into the pot, then lit a fire and started cooking. Gradually, the scent of tea leaves and seasonings mingled in the air, which made her feel It smells very good.

Slowly the water began to boil, and the eggs began to roll up and down, jumping up and down like a naughty child, which was very enjoyable to watch.

Bai Meixi looked at the eggs and thought that she would be able to eat delicious tea eggs later. It would be great.

The tea eggs didn't take long to cook, and Aunt Liu stopped the fire, took out a tea egg from the pot, put it in cold water, and then handed it to Bai Meixi.

"Try it and see how it tastes? See if you like it."

Aunt Liu looked at Bai Meixi and asked, it still depends on whether Bai Meixi likes this egg. After all, these things are done for Bai Meixi.

Bai Meixi felt her appetite whet her appetite when she looked at the tea egg, because before the egg had even entered her mouth, there was a scent of tea that hit her nostrils. After peeling off the shell, the surface of the tea egg was smooth, so she couldn't help but take a bite. Not to mention that the taste is really fragrant, with the fragrance of tea leaves, spices, and eggs all blended together.

After eating an egg, it was moderately salty. Bai Meixi just thought it was delicious!It’s rare to eat such delicious food here, so I’m really happy.

"It's delicious. Aunt Liu, the tea eggs you make are better than those sold on the street." Bai Meixi praised her sincerely, thinking that these eggs are really good. If all tea eggs in the future are made to taste like this Will suffice.
