Chapter 827: Century Egg

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Ziluo was very happy with her mother’s words, so she took the blueprints and went to choose.

She had chosen some of the blueprints that maintained the current structure of the house. frёewebnoѵēl.com

On the other hand, she wanted some raised corridors outside the house so that even if it rained, their shoes would not get wet.

“Madam, this egg is ready. Take a look.”

Madam Hu walked in and took a few century eggs.

Ye Muyu looked at it. “Why don’t you wash them and open it to have a look? I’ll cook black egg and lean meat porridge tomorrow morning.”

“Black egg?” Madam Hu was a little surprised. She looked at the egg in her hand and was a little suspicious. “Madam, then I’ll take it and wash it.”

Ye Muyu continued to choose some decorations for the house.

Speaking of decorations, she suddenly remembered that the gifts given by the squires a few days ago were still in Ah Xing’s house.

She called Han Zhuang over.

“Madam, what’s the matter?”Han Zhuang stood outside the room respectfully.

“Are there any empty warehouses in the house at the foot of the firewood mountain? I want to put Ah Xing’s furniture and gifts over first.”

“There’s still a small room. Madam, if you like, we can free up another room.”

“It’s just that I bought a lot of chickens and ducks before, so I’ve already accumulated two big baskets of chicken and duck eggs. Madam Jiang said that the taste of eggs will be affected if they’re left for too long. Does Madam have any instructions on how to deal with them?”

“Go to the county and open a shop to sell these home-grown grains.” Ye Muyu thought that there would definitely be more chickens and ducks in the future. There would be more eggs and duck eggs than she could finish.

Apart from century eggs and salted duck eggs that could be stored for a longer time, unmarinated chicken and duck eggs were easy to spoil and difficult to transport.

“I’ll pick another shop tomorrow. Clean up the storeroom first.”

“Alright, I understand.” Han Zhuang retreated.

Only then did Ye Muyu realize that the storeroom she had prepared earlier was too small. It was probably only enough to serve as a cloakroom.

In the countryside, they still had to find a place to store food.

Soon, Ye Muyu made the entire layout bigger again. There was a huge warehouse inside and a cellar was located.

After a while, Madam Hu came back with two century eggs.

She peeled them all. Looking at the black eggs, she fell into deep thought.

“Madam, this egg… Is it spoilt?” Madam Hu walked into the room and placed the two century eggs on the table.

Ye Muyu rarely saw her frowning face. She could not help but chuckle. “Madam Hu, it’s not bad. Take a whiff. It doesn’t stink. That’s why it’s called a century egg.”

“I wonder how it tastes.” Ye Muyu called Madam Hu for a knife and cut the century egg into pieces.

Then, she put some dipping sauce on it.

“Try it?” Ye Muyu recommended.

Ziluo looked at the black duck egg in front of her and could not help but look at her mother. Seeing that her mother was still the same gentle mother, she was relieved. She gritted her teeth and picked up a piece with her chopsticks.

She closed her eyes and put a piece of century egg into her mouth. She covered her mouth, afraid that she would vomit it out, so she began to refuse.

Ye Muyu looked at her raised eyebrows and could not help but frown.

She suddenly had some doubts. Could it be that it really tasted bad?

She picked up a piece with her chopsticks and was about to eat.

“Mother, don’t eat it!” Ziluo suddenly said.

“Ah?” Before Ye Muyu could react, Zi Luo grabbed Xiang Ling’er’s arm and shook it.

Xiang Ling’er reacted quickly. While Ye Muyu was still in a daze, she got up and ate the preserved egg.

In the next moment, Ye Muyu looked down at the empty chopsticks in front of her, then at the two people covering their mouths with their hands. They looked like they were in pain but did not dare to vomit.
