058: Tea eggs start!

He sent 600 large eggs to Fatty Wang, and asked Fatty Wang for his pager number. The remaining 600 small eggs were originally intended to be sold for a while, but a local vendor asked for 30 cents to take them all at once. Zhao Peng also asked for the pager number.

Without further ado, let him go.

Although he retails by himself and can sell for 35,600 yuan, which can be sold for 30 yuan more, he wants to transform into wholesale after all. He is not going to be a long-term retail business. He can get to know some dealers and make downstream preparations for wholesale in the future.

After getting rid of all the eggs and taking the 480 yuan he received, he went to a nearby market, bought some star anise, cinnamon, pepper and other seasonings, and then rode all the way home.

I had something on my mind, but I didn't feel tired while riding the bicycle. I went at a fast pace and it was only after two o'clock in the afternoon when I got home. My father and mother went to work in the fields, and there was no one at home.

He wants to make tea eggs.

Zhao Peng was very good at making tea eggs in his previous life, mainly because he liked eating eggs.

Zhao Peng doesn't like to eat meat, so he likes to use eggs instead to supplement protein.

In addition to boiled eggs, egg custard, tomato scrambled eggs, leek scrambled eggs, pepper scrambled eggs and other conventional ways of eating eggs, the most common ones are braised eggs and tea eggs.

Zhao Peng is alone anyway. He tries to eat by himself. If it doesn’t taste good, it won’t be wasted.

Over time, he gradually developed a good skill in making tea eggs. Before resigning, he brought the tea eggs to the office and they were always a hot commodity. Everyone advised him not to go to work and just quit his job and make money by making tea eggs.

Needless to say, in his previous life, whenever novels hit the streets, he really had this idea. He might as well just push a cart and sell tea eggs along the street. It was unrestrained, free and comfortable.

Zhao Peng found 6 eggs from the basket, washed them with water, soaked them in water for six or seven minutes, then threw them into a cold water pot and started cooking them. After they were cooked, they took them out, cracked the eggshells and put them aside.

The next step is to make seasoning bags. Seasoning bags are the core of whether tea eggs taste good or not.

In his previous life, he also tried repeatedly and finally got the right taste, not spicy, not spicy, fragrant and delicious.

The seasoning bag mainly includes star anise, bay leaves, pepper, cinnamon, and cumin. Wash these seasonings first, soak them in water for about ten minutes, and wrap them in gauze into a small bag for later use.

Then add water to the pot, put the seasoning packet you just prepared, add a certain amount of green onions, ginger slices, and about half a tael of black tea. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then switch to low heat and cook for another 30 minutes.

Finally, put the dark soy sauce, salt, rock sugar and eggs into the pot, then cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, and the fragrant tea eggs are ready.

If you are not in a hurry to eat, you can leave the eggs in the seasoning soup for a while, and it will taste better when you take them out to eat.

Tea eggs made from black tea have the best color. Zhao Peng tried green tea, but found it tasted a bit bland and made the eggs a bit darker.

Since Zhao Peng was not very good at cooking pots with firewood, he was in a hurry in the kitchen. After the eggs were cooked in the pot, he discovered that the kitchen was in a mess.

With a wry smile, he quickly cleaned up before his father came back.

My father loves to be clean. Seeing the state of this kitchen, it would be strange not to beat the shit out of him.

Just after packing up, before I had time to rest, I heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and my parents came back from the fields.

"What smells so fragrant?" My mother exclaimed in the courtyard as soon as she entered the gate. She followed the scent to the kitchen and saw a bowl on the pot stand with several red eggs in it. The scent wafted from the eggs.

come out.

Zhao Peng stood next to the pot, looking at her with interest.

"Are you boiling...boiled eggs? Why are they so fragrant?"

Zhao Peng picked up one, peeled off the outer skin and handed it to his mother. The mother looked at the bright red eggs at first, but she didn't dare to eat them yet. She carefully took a small bite, chewed a few mouthfuls, and her eyes lit up.

“It tastes really good, kind of like tea.”

At this time, his father also walked to the kitchen, and Zhao Peng peeled one off for his father. At first, his father was too proud to eat it, but after tasting it, he was slightly surprised.

Because this method of eating eggs has never been done before. I have always boiled eggs in plain water, and I have never thought that boiled eggs can produce a tea flavor.

"Peng baby, where did you learn this from?" The mother was very curious. Her cooking skills had always occupied the high ground in the family. She didn't expect that the child could cook an egg that she thought was delicious. It was a little bit strange.

Be convinced and curious.

"I read it from a magazine. When we were chatting last night, I thought that since we are in business, we can also make some snacks. For example, sell some fried dough sticks, fried cakes, twists, and fried noodles, etc. This kind of egg is called

Tea eggs have long been popular among southerners, but they haven’t appeared here yet.”

Regarding the matter of setting up a food stall on the street, Zhao Peng had actually planned it for a long time. Of course, it was not a sudden idea last night. He had not done it before, but was waiting for his father to relent. Food stalls require a lot of time, and only parents are suitable for it.

, he now has to spend a large part of his energy on studying.

He will not give up his studies just to make money. Only by doing whatever he wants can he get the corresponding sense of satisfaction. This is his consistent behavior.

Life is rich and colorful, making money is just a way to make life better, not the purpose.

He slowly told his father and mother his plan, trying to use a gentle tone, leaving enough time for his father to think about the snack business. His father was the main force, and Zhao Peng was responsible for the early promotion.

During the stable period, Zhao Peng will no longer pay attention.

Parents have their own lives, and he has his own.

My father was moved by Zhao Peng. Although he didn't say it clearly, when he heard Zhao Peng tell him the plan, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the fighting spirit that had disappeared for a long time seemed to have returned to him.

Of course, in order to eliminate his father's worries, Zhao Peng promised that he would find a way to get the funds to start the business. After the stall was established, whether he could make money would depend on his father's ability.

My father's worried brows, which were still there, slowly faded away.

When he looked at Zhao Peng, he felt a little emotional and a little relieved.

Maybe I thought that it would be better to study. I have worked hard for half my life and it is difficult to have a full stomach. But my son only went to junior high school and he has this kind of thinking.



On Monday morning, Zhao Peng put some food he brought from home in the rented house. He had told his parents that he would live near the school in the future to facilitate his review.

The parents surprisingly had no objections, and unconsciously, their trust in their son increased a lot.

There are exams on Monday, Tuesday and two days every week. During the exam in the morning, Lun Shuangsan was still groggy. Except for her eyes shining when reading comics, other things could not attract her interest at all.

But with the results of the last test, no one thought that this little girl was wrong anymore. Instead, they looked at her like a fairy, thinking that she had basically surpassed normal humans.
