Coaxed and tricked, after feeding the little baby half of a tea egg white, she was finally persuaded to drink a bowl of red date congee.
This little one finally patted her belly and stopped crying.
However, from time to time, she still glanced at the pot emitting the aroma of tea eggs.
There was a reason why tea eggs had remained popular on Chinese dining tables for thousands of years.
Under the market economy, China's tea egg economy was also a unique feature in world economic history.
Even in later generations, in any city's alleys and corners, in any small breakfast diner, which one didn't boil tea eggs?
Could a breakfast shop that didn't sell tea eggs still be called a breakfast shop?
After ensuring his daughter had breakfast, Chen Yang also ate a bowl of red date congee himself, and then ate the remaining tea egg after peeling off a small portion of the white for his daughter.
The flavor was already very rich, and the freshness of the tea entered the mouth, which was the taste of tea eggs in Chen Yang's memory.
To put it mildly, with the secret recipe for making tea eggs that was all over the internet in later generations, in this era, just selling these tea eggs would definitely be profitable!
"My uncles and great-uncles, and my aunt and great-aunt, how much money can they earn farming at home? If they were to do some small business in the city, they would at least earn more than they do now!"
Chen Yang suddenly slapped his forehead, and the thought struck him.
He had always thought that once he earned enough money and possessed the wealth of his previous life, he could easily help his relatives.
However, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
The market economy era was about to begin, and smart people could seize this opportunity, even by doing small businesses, and many could still make money.
In later generations, some people joked that the nineties were a golden age where even a pig could fly if it stood at the right wind, then the eighties were a time of lawlessness.
Regardless of your background or extensive business knowledge, as long as you seized the opportunity, you could truly become rich.
When others earned tens of yuan a month, doing some insignificant small business could earn more than a month's salary in a single day.
Opportunity outweighs everything!
By later generations, such opportunities were not non-existent, but they were becoming fewer and more hidden.
The rich became richer, and the poor faced increasing pressure in their lives.
In short, the good kept getting better, and the bad kept getting worse. Although the standard of living seemed to have improved, in terms of distribution and social status, it had definitely worsened.
Severe polarization!
If his uncles could earn some money by doing small businesses, they might be able to make a good living for themselves in the future.
A life they built themselves would be far better than his simple help.
With this thought, Chen Yang's mind became clear.
Buying tea eggs was just one way; there were others, such as characteristic planting and breeding industries, which his elder relatives, being farmers, could try.
Farming was difficult to make money from, but growing vegetables and medicinal herbs was different, as was raising chickens and ducks. These had great potential.
However, compared to doing small businesses, planting and breeding industries carried greater risks and required more skill and experience.
Of course, when the time was ripe, these could still be considered and suggested to his relatives.
After all, his uncles and great-aunts had treated his family very well since they were young.
There is a saying that when one person achieves success, all their relatives benefit, and it is like this in China. The culture passed down for thousands of years still believes in blood ties at its core.
When good things happened, people would naturally think of their relatives.
Of course, only relatives could be cheated. Just like those who were brainwashed, they could only deceive their relatives because of the blood relationship, which led to mutual trust.
Chen Yang was still thinking about how to discuss this matter with his elders when he visited his great-uncle's house later, when his parents got up.
There was no other way; the aroma of the tea eggs was too strong.
Chen Yu, the little girl, got up and wanted to grab a tea egg to eat before even brushing her teeth.
"Go, go, hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. Your breath stinks, and you can still eat that."
His mother playfully slapped the little girl's hand and took a tea egg from the slotted spoon.
My goodness, these tea eggs were boiled so fragrantly.
His mother took a bite after peeling it, and it smelled even better. She quickly ate the whole egg.
"You're talking about me, but you didn't brush your teeth either, and you could still eat it. Why can't I?"
Chen Yu muttered grumpily, watching her mother eat the egg she had taken.
"Aren't you going to brush your teeth? Don't want it, right? If you don't want it, don't eat it."
As a result, his mother glared at her, and the little girl quickly went to brush her teeth, scared, she couldn't afford to mess with her.
This lively little sister of theirs could only be controlled by their mother. It was a case of one thing conquering another.
Chen Yang had boiled more than twenty eggs this time, which was more than enough for everyone to have one.
Later, his elder sister and brother-in-law also woke up. When Shen Xue brought Chen Hao up,
The little fellow looked regretful, as if he had missed out on a great delicacy.
The little baby also managed to eat a few more mouthfuls of tea eggs. Chen Yang was helpless; this little one was quite gluttonous.
The father was worried that she would choke on too many eggs, so he had to remind her grandpa, grandma, aunt, great-aunt, great-uncle, and mother one by one not to give her any more tea eggs.
Because they had drunk too much yesterday, everyone ate very moderately at lunch today.
After lunch, the whole family went for a stroll along Xuanwu Lake, cleaned up the yard there, had afternoon tea, and then returned home.
On the eighth day, it was agreed that the whole family would go to their great-uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Therefore, their parents got up early, cooked a pot of noodles, and after eating, everyone rushed to the countryside.
There was no other way; Chen Yang's family lived in the city, and it would take over an hour to cycle to their great-uncle's house in the countryside. They definitely had to leave early.
After all, once they arrived, there would be family chats, and it wasn't just for a meal. You could eat anywhere. The main purpose was for the siblings to chat and deepen their relationship.
At the great-uncle's house, two Eight Immortals tables had already been set up, one for his own family and one for the great-uncle's family.
There were many people today, with Chen Yang's family alone having more than ten people, plus the great-uncle's family and the aunt's family. Even these two tables couldn't seat everyone.
They could only have such a proper reunion once a year, so the great-uncle attached great importance to it. This was a common trait of the eldest sibling; they had to have some control.
He had to maintain good communication among his siblings so that their relationship would not grow distant.
