After the three of them arrived in the yard, Li Heng took out the water jar and opened the sealed lid.

Inside is a lump of yellow earth covered with rice husks. If you just look at the appearance, you will definitely not be able to tell what it is.

Li Heng picked one up and tapped it lightly on the edge of the jar.

"Crack!"

The outer layer of soil, along with the eggshell, cracked open.

When you break it with your hands, the egg white and yolk inside will appear. Under the action of quicklime and alkaline water, their shapes have changed.

Even without the support of the eggshell, the egg white still maintains its original shape and looks a bit like jelly.

Through the light yellow egg white, you can see the darker yolk.

The soft preserved egg will deform when you press it with your hand, and return to its original shape immediately when you let go.

"Not bad! Very elastic!"

Li Heng was very satisfied with the preserved eggs he pickled.

"Wow~ Brother Li Heng, this thing called preserved egg is crystal clear and so beautiful!"

The two little ones also followed Li Heng's example, cracked open a preserved egg, and held it in their palms to observe it.

"Of course I need to say that! Don't you even look at who made this?"

Li Heng boasted in front of the two kids.

"Then can this preserved egg be eaten directly?"

When the two kids peeled the preserved eggs, they smelled a pungent odor and felt that it didn't taste very good, so they thought of asking Li Heng first.

Maybe it is a semi-finished product that needs further processing to become delicious, just like milk tofu.

Normally, they would eat first and ask questions later.

"sure!"

Of course Li Heng was not talking nonsense. Although raw eggs are used to pickle preserved eggs, they are already cooked by the time they become preserved eggs.

So just make sure that the preserved eggs are pickled and you can eat them after peeling the shell.

This is the difference between century eggs and salted duck eggs. Although both are pickled, the ingredients used in the pickling process are different.

It’s edible, but the taste may not be very good.

Under normal circumstances, freshly pickled preserved eggs need to be washed to remove the yellow mud on the surface of the eggshell, or other ingredients used in the pickling process.

Then let it sit for one to two days to allow the pungent smell of the preserved egg to evaporate before eating.

"Really? Brother Li Heng, you didn't lie to us, did you? How about you try a bite first?"

The two little ones looked at each other and didn't eat it directly.

Maybe it was because they had been tricked so many times, the more certain Li Heng was, the more suspicious the two little ones became.

"Wow! You guys have really improved! It's really not easy!"

Li Heng looked at the two of them in surprise.

There is a saying: Every failure is a learning experience.

It is definitely inappropriate to use it on them.

Because the two little ones didn't know how many times they had suffered at the hands of Li Heng before they finally developed this little bit of intelligence.

"I hope you two can keep it up."

After Li Heng finished speaking, he cut the peeled preserved egg in his hand into two halves.

His luck seemed to be pretty good, as he actually found a century egg with a runny core.

Li Heng did not hesitate, but threw half a preserved egg into his mouth in front of the two little ones.

The smell is a bit strong, but it is still edible, not to mention that this is not the first time Li Heng has eaten it.

So this little smell is no problem at all to him.

Ignoring the pungent alkaline taste and chewing it carefully, Li Heng finally tasted the original flavor of the preserved egg.

The egg white is soft, glutinous and smooth, with a slightly runny egg, delicate, fresh and slightly sweet, without the astringent taste of black preserved eggs.

After eating half of the preserved egg, Li Heng was completely accustomed to the alkaline taste and then ate the other half.

"How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

After eating, Li Heng patted the crumbs on his hands and said to the two little ones.

"Hehe, actually, we still believe in Brother Li Heng!"

The two kids saw that Li Heng had finished eating, so they no longer had any concerns. They added another sentence to what they had said before, because they were worried that Li Heng would be angry.

Then the two of them happily picked up the preserved eggs and started eating them.

What Li Heng didn't expect was that the two little ones accepted the preserved eggs even faster than he did.

When they took the first bite, they both frowned because of the alkaline taste.

However, when the two started to take the second bite, their frowns had completely relaxed, and they became happier and happier as they ate.

After eating a preserved egg, Li Heng already had an idea in his mind. He called the two kids together and took out all the preserved eggs in the jar.

After washing off the yellow mud on the surface, put it into a clean jar and place the jar in a ventilated place to let it dry naturally.

He had decided that they would be his dinner tonight.

Since there were less than a hundred preserved eggs, there were definitely not enough for more than a thousand people to share.

So Li Heng could only say "sorry" to the other disciples of the Lingzhi Sect, saying that they would not get any of the preserved eggs.

Leisure time always passes quickly. Li Heng just accompanied the two little ones and played chess for a while. Before he knew it, it was already evening.

"You two can play by yourselves, I'm going to cook!"

Li Heng stood up from the stool, stretched his stiff waist, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

He did not forget to have preserved eggs for dinner, and casually took back the preserved eggs that he had placed there in the afternoon.

"Let's go too!"

Without Li Heng to play with them, the two kids lost interest in continuing to play, so they followed him into the kitchen.

The simplest way to eat preserved eggs is definitely to serve them cold, so Li Heng planned to make a dish of cold preserved eggs first.

When I took out six preserved eggs and was about to peel them, the two little ones came over.

"Hehe, Brother Li Heng, let us peel it, shall we? You can do other things."

"Thank you both for your 'kindness', but you guys are underestimating me. I don't need anyone's help to peel six preserved eggs!"

How could Li Heng not know the inner thoughts of the two foodies? If he really let them do it, there would probably be only eggshells left in a while.

"Snapped!"

As he spoke, Li Heng slapped the chopping board hard, and six preserved eggs flew into the air.

Then he used the power of the god of cooking towards the preserved egg, and the preserved egg began to spin under its influence.

"Shua~shua~shua~"

The speed was getting faster and faster. During the rotation, the eggshell fell from top to bottom, gradually turning into powder, floating in the air, and finally disappearing.

In the blink of an eye, only six peeled preserved eggs were left in front of Li Heng.

"Look, isn't it fast?"

"Haha, fast, very fast!"

The two little ones felt as if a bird had just flown over their heads, leaving behind a string of ellipsis.

What else can I say now? I can only agree with Li Heng. I can't say that they are just craving for preserved eggs and that helping is just an excuse.

Li Heng did not burst the two little ones. At this moment, his attention was all on the preserved eggs.

The peeled preserved eggs need to be cut vertically into four pieces of equal size. In the past, he would use a thin wire instead of a kitchen knife.

Because the cut of the preserved egg with thin wire will look smoother and more beautiful.

Now it is not so troublesome. Li Heng first arranged the preserved eggs in the air vertically into a straight line.

Then he used the power of the God of Cooking to transform it into two crossed thin threads, which passed through all the eggs in turn starting from the top.

After doing all this, Li Heng withdrew his power as the God of Cooking, and the preserved egg fell steadily back onto the chopping board.
