Chapter 151 Eating Preserved Eggs for the First Time
Chapter 151 Eating Preserved Eggs for the First Time
After Zhao Shisheng made the proposal, he took the lead and walked forward.
After looking at row after row of houses, Zhao Shisheng was surprised. No wonder it took so long to build them. There were so many houses.
But as he walked around, he felt that something was missing.
"Should we put labels on the doors indicating the corresponding functions or uses? For example, if this room is used as a warehouse, then we should put up a sign saying 'Warehouse'. If it is a production room, then we should put up a sign saying 'Production Room'." Zhao Shisheng suggested this just because he suddenly thought of it.
"Shengzi is right. How could I have forgotten about this? Now that you are at home, let's discuss how to allocate these rooms and then hang up the doorplates. You can write the words." Zhao Guocheng smiled and slapped his forehead.
The two nodded. They didn't feel too bad about being able to do something for the family. You know, since they were attending a private school in Wangjia Village, all the housework fell on their parents and sister. They both felt a little uncomfortable. Now, they were quite happy to be able to contribute something to the family.
Zhao Shiying followed beside him and listened quietly, then she pulled Zhao Shihui's sleeve.
"Brother, how is your calligraphy going?" Zhao Shiying asked curiously.
Zhao Shihui’s handwriting was very ugly before.
The ugly ones are not good enough to show off, but Zhao Shisheng's handwriting is quite good. I don't know how much they have improved after studying for this period of time.
When Zhao Shiying asked this, everyone looked at Zhao Shihui, except Zhao Shisheng, who smiled secretly.
This stumped Huizi, and he looked around at everyone with a frown.
"Little sister, second brother has finally come back, you shouldn't expose his shortcomings like this." Zhao Shihui sighed.
"What does it mean to expose someone's shortcomings?" Zhao Shiying became even more curious.
"It was you who exposed Huizi's weakness," Zhao Shisheng added.
"Oh?! So writing is your weakness. Can you complete the task assigned by father?" Zhao Shiying asked again.
It is normal for children to ask questions when they don’t understand, but for Huizi now, his little sister took the wrong medicine today and specifically picked him to be bullied.
"Of course... no problem. Let's hurry up and move forward, little sister, otherwise you won't be able to finish watching." Zhao Shihui wiped the sweat from his forehead, took Zhao Shiying's hand and strode forward.
Let's change the subject and not talk about this anymore. Doesn't he have any dignity?
Everyone laughed secretly behind him.
But in fact, Zhao Shihui has been practicing calligraphy recently. Although he is not as good as Zhao Shisheng, his calligraphy is much better than before.
Zhao Shiying was led astray by Zhao Shihui and stopped asking questions. Instead, she followed her second brother to visit their own workshop.
By the time I finished watching it all, three quarters of an hour had passed.
At this moment, several people were listening to Wang Ronghua carefully explaining the purpose of each row.
So after returning home, Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui immediately started writing the house numbers.
These doorplates were all made of wood by Zhao Guocheng.
It’s very quick to make, you can make five or six in a quarter of an hour.
And so another busy day passed.
Wang Ronghua felt the doorplates looked good only after the words were written on them and hung on the doors of each room.
"The earthen stove in the room will take a few days to dry completely. Don't close the door. Let's let it ventilate. If you have time in the next few days, remember to chop some wood. I'm afraid you'll need it when the time comes." Wang Ronghua instructed.
"Oh, I got it." Zhao Guocheng responded in a deep voice, and then he really went up the mountain.
When Wang Ronghua returned home, she saw Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui doing their homework, but she did not disturb them.
However, at this time Zhao Shiying actually brought out a small jar.
Wang Ronghua was so frightened that her soul almost flew away.
Run over and hug her immediately.
"Nannan, what are you doing holding the jar?" Wang Ronghua asked anxiously and sternly.
One is that he is afraid that the jar will break, and the other is that he is afraid that the child will be hurt when the jar breaks.
"Mom, are the preserved eggs ready to eat?" Zhao Shiying blinked her eyes. She wanted to try them.
Wang Ronghua was stunned when she heard this. She glanced at the date written on the jar and thought, "Oh, it's time."
"Yes, I would have almost forgotten about this if Nannan hadn't moved the jar out. But Nannan, remember to ask mother or sister to move it. You can't move it because you are too young. Breaking the jar is a small matter, but it would be bad if you get hurt. Remember?" Wang Ronghua squatted down and put the jar aside, saying softly.
"Okay, I got it, mom. Can we start the meal now? I want to eat it tonight." Zhao Shiying asked.
"Of course you can, but you have to spread it out and dry it before you can eat it. Mother took out a can yesterday, and today is already the second day. I'll pick up a few and make some for you at noon." Wang Ronghua said with a smile.
"Yeah, mother is so nice." Zhao Shiying grinned.
Although there may not be enough time and it would be best to eat it tomorrow, but the little glutton can’t wait, so what can you do but cook it!
So everyone had a delicious plate of cold preserved eggs for lunch.
"This preserved egg is so delicious. So this is what the duck egg looks like after a month of special treatment?" Zhao Shihui was surprised.
"It's so delicious! It's the first time I've eaten such delicious duck eggs. It tastes better than eating them directly." Zhao Shisheng nodded and couldn't stop eating.
"Although this tastes good, I think I can't eat too much of it." Zhao Shiying said as she took small bites.
She also thought it was delicious, so she couldn't help but pick up another piece. She was already on the second piece.
A plate full of preserved eggs piled like a pyramid was eaten up, and everyone's stomach was full.
"Mom, can I take some to my grandparents' house when I leave? I can't eat enough in just the past two days." Zhao Shihui is a greedy person. He just finished eating today and he was thinking about the future.
"You little glutton, I can't make the decision on this matter, you have to ask Nannan, these eggs are all hers." Wang Ronghua said with a smile.
Everyone then looked at Zhao Shiying.
Zhao Shiying then held her head high, as if verifying her great achievements.
"So do you think this preserved egg is delicious?" Zhao Shiying raised her head and looked at everyone.
Everyone: “…” They were stunned for a moment.
Then I realized that he was trying to ask for praise!
Zhao Shiying looked at everyone in confusion, why was there no sound for a long time? She opened her eyes and saw that several people were arguing with each other.
"Ahem~~~" Zhao Shiying gave a reminder like a little adult.
"Of course it's delicious. How can Nannan's cooking not be delicious? Fortunately, I listened to you and made it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food today." Wang Ronghua was the first to show her support.
"Yes, I regret that I didn't buy enough eggs. You said that the preserved eggs made from duck eggs are so delicious, wouldn't those made from chicken eggs be even more delicious!" Zhao Guocheng said expectantly.
"Little sister, although this preserved egg looks black, you will know that it is a delicacy once you put it in your mouth. So, work hard. Whether your grocery store can be successful depends on this egg, right?" Zhao Shisheng said with a smile.
"My dear sister, you are awesome. It is so delicious. Only my sister can think of such delicious food." Zhao Shihui gave Zhao Shiying two thumbs up after saying this.
