Chapter 1213 - 383: Shadow, Scalding
The taste of one salted egg had just become apparent, but it was far from enough to satisfy the appetites of the two sisters. Xin Er couldn’t help but peel two more salted eggs and quickly gobbled them down.
Seeing Xin Er reaching for more, Mo Yan hastily stopped her, "These salted eggs are delicious indeed, but eating too many at once isn’t good. Hurry and peel them, separate the yolks from the whites, I need them over here!"
Xin Er looked at the half-peeled egg in her hand, hesitated, then suddenly opened her mouth wide and took a big bite, speaking with her mouth full, "A handful of grass won’t kill a cow, this is the last one."
Mo Yan was torn between laughter and tears as she poked her sister’s forehead with her flour-dusted finger and teased, "Glutton!"
Xin Er giggled, quickly peeled the remaining half of the egg, and then popped it into her mouth, "These salted eggs are so delicious, Sister, why don’t we make more and sell them at the rice shop? We’d surely earn more silver than by selling fresh eggs."
Mo Yan replied speechlessly, "When did you become such a money-grubber? Silver is endless, but if you keep yourself as busy as a dog all day and don’t even have time to spend it, what’s the point?"
"Ah, you can’t blame me for being greedy, it’s just that your salted eggs are too tasty to not sell. It would be such a waste," Xin Er sighed and placed the egg yolk she had just separated onto a clean plate.
Mo Yan shook her head and continued to work the dough, "Making salted eggs is meticulous work. If you want to learn, I’ll teach you, and you can do it yourself. If they turn out well, you can let Grandfather Li take them to the shop to sell. The silver you make is yours to keep, save it for the future to buy a shop and open an embroidery studio."
Xin Er’s eyes lit up as she hastily promised, "Sister, I’ll learn, I’ll learn! Teach me after we finish making the mooncakes!"
"Okay, I’ll teach you later, but don’t complain about it being troublesome and quit halfway," Mo Yan said with a smile, cautioning her just in case.
"Don’t worry, your little sister isn’t the type to give up halfway," Xin Er promised, patting her chest. Her mind was already completely occupied with making and selling salted eggs, saving silver, buying a shop, and opening an embroidery studio.
