Chapter 34 Rare is more expensive

  Qiao Mai smiled mysteriously at the two of them, "Come on, I will show you as a teacher. This is the result of being a teacher for two months."

  She took Ruxin and Ruyi's little hands to the door of the first room in the East Wing, gently opened the door, and led the two of them in.

  The two were dumbfounded when they saw the palm-sized quail running around on the ground.

   "Master, have you used all these houses to raise this?"

   "Yeah, are they cute? Do you want to raise a few?"

  The two swallowed, "Does my mother know?"

   "I don't know, it doesn't matter if I know, anyway, I will occupy this house first, and when I leave, she will find someone to clean it up."

   "This seems to be cleaner than chicken?"

   "They are too small, eat less and pull less, work hard every day, the house does not smell at all, and make a charcoal basin in the house in winter, and they lay eggs as well."

   "Let's go back and ask our mother, if possible, we can also raise some at home, just raise one house."

   "It's fine if you can eat at home. This egg is more nutritious than eggs. Put it in when making noodle soup, and it's easier to eat than eggs."

  The two watched the quail for a while, Qiao Mai called them into the room, and pointed to the boiled quail eggs.

   "Eat it, just like eating eggs. I cooked a pot of spiced ones. If you can't eat them, I will take them with you when you leave."

   "Hee hee, following Master, there will be delicious food at any time."

   "If you don't store this stuff properly, you can't stay overnight in summer, and if you can't eat it, give some to the neighbors, and ask your mother to help me do publicity."

   "Master, are you ready to sell this?"

   "Yes, the weather will get colder in two months, and the chickens will stop laying eggs. This thing can be raised indoors without delay in laying eggs. Selling this in winter is also an income."

   "Surely it won't be cheap?"

   "One piece of paper."

   "It doesn't sound expensive, but one egg is worth several."

  Qiao Mai rolled his eyes, "Eggs are eggs, this is this one. Although the taste is similar, the nutritional value is different."

   "What's the difference?"

   "Eating this often can strengthen the brain, cure edema, and cure anemia. It has certain medicinal value. Of course, eggs are also good for the body, especially for the liver."

   "Ah, Master knows a lot."

   "Since we want to sell this, we naturally need to know more about it."

   "Eat, I'll give you some good things."

   "Ai" The two sisters didn't pretend, they took the quail eggs and began to peel and eat.

  Qiao Mai came to the kitchen, boiled a pot of water, took out a dozen ears of corn from the space, peeled off the outer skin, leaving only a thin layer of inner skin, and threw it into the pot.

  Space has collected a wave of corn ears, which are all piled up in the corner, so they need to sell them quickly.

  But not now, we have to wait until August and September when the new corn comes into the market, and she has to sell the boiled corn one month in advance, so that the price should be raised.

   When diners get used to her corn, they will know how delicious this variety of corn is.

  Thank you for the ears of corn I bought in my previous life, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to eat this kind of sweet and glutinous corn at all.

  I think back then, this kind of corn was also a kind of street food that was very popular among the people.

  After the pot is opened, turn off the heat and fish out in ten minutes.

   A basin full of steaming corn cobs was brought by Qiao Mai to the kang table in the house.

   "Master, did you cook corn for us?"

   "Yes, the corn in the south has grown. I think it looks good. I discussed it with other farmers and bought a lot. I plan to buy this as soon as August comes."

   "Master, this corn looks good, but everyone usually uses this to make porridge. Who would care about this stuff? I don't think it will sell well."

   "The words can't be said to be consummated first, wait for a while to cool down and try."

  "Rich people definitely don't eat it. They all say it's eaten by lowly people."

"That's because they don't have a good taste. Don't think that when they are rich, they think that coarse grains are not worthy of their status. In fact, coarse grains are very beneficial to the body. Let me tell you, all long-lived people are never picky about whole grains, but those who are rich People, whoever picks this and that, always goes to **** early.”

  The two looked at Qiao Mai and laughed, "Master, your words are really funny, but they also make sense."

   "Master is right, how do you eat these quail eggs?"

   "In terms of taste, it's similar to eggs. In terms of the nutrition you mentioned, this one is better, especially the five-spice taste, which covers the blandness of eggs, and it's delicious."

   "This egg is small and exquisite, children should like it the most."

   "Yeah, I'm used to eating eggs, and this one is quite fresh."

  Anyway, Ruxin and Ruyi were not optimistic about this business. When the corn cooled down, Qiao Mai peeled off the outer layer of the corn and handed one to each of them.

"eat!"

   Once the two of you took a bite, you knew it was different from the usual corn.

   "Master, this corn is delicious, glutinous and sweet. This must be a good seller."

   "How about one out of ten words?"

   "Isn't it expensive? Stick noodles only cost three pennies a catty."

   "You guys are so tender, why is our double-sided embroidery so expensive?"

   "It's beautiful, rare, and takes effort?"

   "That's right, then this corn is rare and delicious, and it's hard for others to find it if they want to eat it."

  The two young apprentices quickly understood the master's instructions.

   "Scarcity is the most precious thing, fineness is the most precious, goodness is the most precious, isn't it Master?"

   "Yes, Confucianism can be taught."

   When the two girls left, she put the quail eggs in a small basket like corn on the cob and let them take them away.

  Actually, in August, not only these two things can be sold, but also boiled peanuts and boiled edamame, which can be sold at the stalls.

  When the weather gets colder, you can set up a charcoal stove with a pot on top to keep warm and keep the food from getting cold.

  Thinking of keeping warm, she now has to prepare for winter.

  Although she really wants to stay warm at home, she is still willing to see the world outside. After all, she is a servant of the Lu family.

   Those who want to repay their debts cannot always keep silent.

  Thinking of this, she locked the courtyard door and went to the carpenter's shop. She wanted to order a movable board room, small and windproof, and would not block the embroidery shop behind.

   Probably the pattern has been formed in her mind. Besides this, she also needs to order a few large pots from the iron shop. It can’t be like the pot on the stove, which takes up too much space. It should be round, like the one used to steam steamed buns in modern homes.

   She still has to go to the grocery store to order a special Omzi, she wants to sell roasted sweet potatoes in winter.

  Although there is no space to plant them yet, don’t worry, as long as there are seeds, they will ripen once every five days, which will be very fast.

Thinking of winter, it’s freezing and snowy outside, sitting on the side of the official road, in a beautiful windshield, sitting in the middle, surrounded by several charcoal stoves, a small table in front, and a sign in front, introducing my stall What does it feel like to eat food on the Internet?

  She smiled, waved her hand, and swept away the longing in front of her eyes.

  She has to let the townspeople see how hardworking she is, how hard she is paying off her debts, and let them see how hard she is.

   After finishing these things, she just waited to pick them up when the time came. Seeing that it was getting dark, she hurried home.

  While walking into the alley, I saw a person standing in front of my house.

   Approached, it was a man, about 1.75 meters tall, not bad looking, not like a farmer.

  Seeing Qiao Mai came back, he quickly lowered his head slightly and gave her a cup.

   "My lady, you are very polite. This is your neighbor. His surname is Yuan, and he started from a famous family."

  Qiao Mai frowned, "What's the matter?"

   "I want to ask my lady, is there any watermelon at home?"

   "Do you want to buy melon?"

   "Yes, the child at home has a fever and can't eat anything, so he wants to eat watermelon."

   "The weather is bad these days, there are no stalls, and you can't sell it retail, you can only sell it in bulk."

   "Whole melons are fine."

   "Then you wait here, I'll get it."

   "If there are other delicious ones, I would like to buy some."

   "There are berries, melons, and quail eggs that are about to be sold."

"quail eggs?"
