After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Chapter 118 Why are the eggs so fragrant?

After eating the tea eggs, Lan Xin washed her hands, took out a pen and paper, and modified the recipe according to the taste she ate.

"The taste is a bit strong. It should be 80% of the braised meat. The tea leaves can be reduced by half, and the rock sugar doesn't need to be so much..."

Lan Xin was savoring the taste of the tea eggs and after some modifications, she finally came up with the recipe for the tea eggs. She would cook a pot according to the recipe tomorrow to test whether this recipe was the most suitable.

Lan Xin put down her pen, smelled the delicious aroma in the kitchen, and couldn't help but eat another one.

After eating, she stared at the eggs in the pot and counted them. There were twenty-two in total, so each person could only get one and a half, which was not easy to divide.

Even Lan Xin, who had eaten delicious food before, couldn't help but eat it again and again, leaving others with only one tea egg.

It would be too cruel if it was gone after you had only eaten one.

Seeing that it was still early, Lan Xin took out a dozen eggs, washed them, and put them into the pot to cook together.

Although the tea eggs cooked in this way are not as fragrant and tasty as the previous ones, they are just enough for each person to get two.

……

It was dark, and it was time for the villagers of Lanjia Village to prepare for dinner.

After finishing the small work in my hands, the rich fragrance came to my nose, and the fragrance made me drool.

My stomach was rumbling and the glutton inside me was tossing and turning. I quickened my pace to go home. I met other people who were returning home and talked as I walked.

“It must be the smell of my food.”

"Nonsense, this is the smell of aniseed, it must be from my family, we bought meat today."

"Pah, with the two ounces of meat you bought, it's good enough if you can taste some meat flavor, it's not going to be this fragrant."

"I smell an egg scent, not meat."

The villagers chattered and hurried back home.

"This fragrance came from my house. My wife must have put eggs and meat in the stew. Oh, what a spendthrift woman! It's not a festival or a busy farming season. It would be enough to have two taels of meat to eat, but she also laid eggs."

Someone smelled the delicious aroma at the gate of his yard and immediately identified it as the smell of his own meat, and shouted proudly.

"Wife, what spices did you use to stew the meat? It smells so good!"

With that loud voice and that proud look, he wanted to let everyone know that his family bought meat to eat today.

Hiss, this is really envy, the other villagers sucked their saliva in shame.

Anyway, they don’t have any more meat to eat, so I have to take a few more bites of this flavor.

As soon as she finished showing off the two taels of meat, her wife came out of the kitchen and shouted back rudely.

"With the two ounces of meat you bought, the fat can't even fill the pot, and you still want this rich aroma? You must be dreaming."

Erliangrou's wife spoke in a loud voice, and everyone at the gate of the yard heard it, and directly exposed Erliangrou's pretentious behavior.

The people who were nearby and smelled the meat immediately burst into laughter.

"Oh my, it's your meat. I can make a full banquet with just two ounces of meat."

"You said it so loudly, I thought it was your stew, but who would have thought it wasn't you!"

"Hahaha, the fat is not even enough to fry a dish, it smells so good, could it be dry stewed spices?"

"Go away, go away..." Erliang Roushao's face turned red, and he looked embarrassed as if he had been wrongly exposed. He waved his hand to interrupt those who were teasing him and asked angrily.

"Whose family is stewing meat? Why are they hiding it? I'm not trying to steal yours."

Unfortunately, no one responded to this. They all knew that they didn't buy any meat today. Even if they had bought meat, they wouldn't be willing to put it in there and create such a strong meaty aroma.

At this time, Erliangrou's wife came out of the kitchen and saw a group of them gathered in the yard, chattering about something.

"What are you talking about? We're talking so much that we don't want to go home for dinner." asked the wife of Erliangrou.

"Sister-in-law, do you know whose stew this is? It smells so good. I'll have to ask my wife to learn from a master so that she doesn't have to shred the meat every time she buys it."

"Meat smell?" The wife's nose twitched, and she smelled the fragrance gradually fading in the air, with a blank look in her eyes.

"Just now, Lan Xin was carrying a pot of something towards her parents' house. She said it was eggs. I guess this is what it tasted like."

It smelled so good that she almost couldn't help asking for a piece to try.

Now smelling the fragrance that had not yet dissipated, she regretted why she didn't have the nerve to ask one more question just now. What if she had given it to her?

After hearing her answer, some people objected and did not believe it.

"Stop bragging. How can an egg taste like meat?"

"That's right, this is clearly the smell of stewed meat with plenty of spices. It's probably not eggs, but stewed meat."

"You're eating meat and pretending it's an egg, is that necessary?"

Someone immediately nodded and couldn't help but sigh.

"Who could have thought that Lan Xin would end up like this? She eats meat every meal, and now she has so much meat that she can't even finish it and has to give it away."

There is something sour in his words.

Immediately, a villager retorted to Lan Xin's defense: "What are you talking about? Is it called being a nobody if you feed your parents? That's called honoring your parents!"

But not everyone is envious and jealous of Lan Xin's success.

Although some people were envious and jealous, they still wanted Lan Xin to help them and continue to hire them to work and make money, so when they heard someone saying bad things about Lan Xin, they would quickly help to refute it.

There is no other way. The entire Lanjia Village is so big, with so many people waiting to work for Lan Xin and make money with her. And Lan Xin doesn't hire everyone. Didn't you see that during the previous recruitment, none of those who spoke ill of her and opposed her were hired?

In order to make money, they have no choice but to work hard. They only hope that Lan Xin can consider these things and bring their family along if there is a job.

Suddenly the whole area was in an uproar, with everyone talking about their own things. Soon the villagers discovered that the more they argued, the longer they smelled the meat, and the hungrier they became.

In the end, we could only go home to eat with our rumbling stomachs.

……

Lan Xin didn't know that the villagers were making a fuss about the pot of tea eggs.

She was holding the tea eggs in her hand, but before she even entered the yard, she was surrounded by a group of child soldiers. They all kept asking Lan Xin what was in her hand and why it smelled so good.

Lan Xin smiled with a proud look on her face: "This is something really delicious."

"How can something be so delicious!"

The children couldn't help it, with smiles on their faces, they stared at the basin in Lan Xin's hand eagerly.

"What is an aunt?"

"smell good!"

The children were like little monsters surrounding Tang Monk, drooling, looking at Lan Xin eagerly, chattering non-stop, making Lan Xin's ears buzz.

She quickly stretched out her hand to interrupt the spell: "It's eggs. Come on, who can count to see if all the family members are present? If they are, we can eat eggs."

"egg?"

The little kids' eyes were full of confusion, not understanding why the eggs had become so fragrant?

After hearing Lan Xin's request, the children quickly dispersed and began to look for people, counting the number of people, and checking whether everyone was home.

Seeing Yingying and Yueyue also running along, Lan Xin did not pay any attention to them and let them play with their older brothers and sisters.
