Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Raising an Army to Question Faults Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Raising an Army to Question Faults Mrs. An brought over some eggs.

Su Yunjin hadn’t planned on keeping them.

The chickens in the backyard laid about ten eggs every day, including duck eggs. Even the eggs from her own home were more than Su Yunjin could eat. She was afraid they would go bad if not eaten in time, so Su Yunjin had even pickled two jars of salted duck eggs.

Now that she was pregnant, it was best to avoid salted duck eggs, but though she couldn’t eat them, Gu Ya could, as could her second elder sister and her parents.

The well-pickled salted duck eggs, Su Yunjin could share with everyone for a taste. Su Yunjin knew how to make those oil-crisping salted duck eggs, adding alcohol in the pottery jar during pickling. Just the right amount of alcohol, and each salted duck egg would ooze oil once cooked and poked with chopsticks.

A stream of red oil would flow out.

Especially delicious.

Back in modern times, Su Yunjin loved eating this the most. Every Dragon Boat Festival, Su Yunjin would eat several of them. Besides boiling and peeling them to eat, she could also use salted duck eggs to cook porridge.

There were many ways to eat them, any way you liked.

Giving away excess duck eggs as salted duck eggs was better than letting them spoil. With too many eggs at home to eat up, Su Yunjin decided to ask Mrs. An to take her eggs back.

“Mom, Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang are growing, you and dad should take the eggs back! My husband and I have no shortage of them at home. I still have several baskets of eggs in my room, not eaten. If you give them to me and I can’t finish them, they’ll just go to waste,” Su Yunjin politely refused.

Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang knew that the young couple was living a good life now and probably had no shortage of eggs. Since Su Yunjin said so and indeed there were too many eggs, it’d be a pity to let them spoil. Mrs. An did not insist on giving them to Su Yunjin.

Instead, she took them back for the two children and Gu Chengxiang to nourish themselves. Mrs. An came, and Su Yunjin didn’t forget to let them take some fish back home, too.

Fish and shrimp from the pond; Su Yunjin had Jia Yu scoop half a bucket for Mrs. An. Also the snails and crabs; Su Yunjin told them to take half a bucket of each back home.

Yet Mrs. An said no need, “Yunjin dear, that’s enough, enough. Your dad and I just need the fish and shrimp. I can’t cook those snails and crabs well.”

Last time Su Yunjin had given Mrs. An crabs and snails to take home, and Mrs. An didn’t know the recipes or how to cook them nicely. Moreover, being accustomed to frugality, she was reluctant to use enough oil, salt, and seasoning; crabs and snails tend to have a strong smell.

If not seasoned enough, surely the fishy taste would prevail. Mrs. An declined, so in the end, Su Yunjin only gave her the fish and shrimp.

The cooking methods for fish and shrimp were less complicated than for crabs and snails and didn’t require as much seasoning, especially the shrimp, best eaten simply blanched or steamed.

True to the original flavor.

Particularly delicious.

Su Yunjin had been waiting for Gu Ya to come back all day; she had thought he would be back in the afternoon, but it turned dark before Su Yunjin finally saw Gu Ya walk in from outside.

“Husband, why didn’t you call me today?” Su Yunjin was displeased that Gu Ya had left alone today, given they had agreed to go together to meet her second elder sister to discuss plans. However, Gu Ya had left on his own without waking her, which upset her somewhat.

Su Yunjin’s tone was not very pleasant.

Looking somewhat accusing.

Gu Ya had anticipated his little wife would be angry, so he wasn’t surprised or taken aback by her reaction, “Yunjin, are you angry?”
