Chapter 67: Green Shell Red Heart Egg

  As the farm gradually developed, especially after the fish pond and chicken coop appeared, labor became increasingly tense and was already somewhat insufficient. Therefore, Xiao Ping's first task to deal with was to recruit more workers.

  After consulting with others, Xiao Ping decided to increase the total number of workers to twenty. Xiao Ping entrusted this matter to Wang Dapao, who was familiar with the villagers' nature, knowing who was diligent and hardworking, who was cunning and lazy, who was good at farming, and who was mediocre in their work, Wang Dapao had a clear understanding and would not recruit the wrong people.

  Working on the farm is close to home, with good treatment, and it's just those ordinary things in the fields. Wang Dapao and others have long been the envy of other villagers. This time, everyone knows that the farm is recruiting again, and they come to sign up enthusiastically. In just two days, several quotas are filled.

  With the addition of new workers, the originally insufficient labor force on the farm was fully supplemented. Apart from secretly mixing clear water with the spirit liquid, which Xiao Ping didn't trust others to do and had to complete personally, there were no other tasks that required his manual labor.

  However, not having to do farm work in the ranch doesn't mean Xiao Ping can spend his days eating and drinking without a care. As the boss of the ranch, he still has to take care of the most important thing - expanding the market.

  The green egg chickens have been settled in the farm for almost a month. Except for the period when they were temporarily locked in the vegetable greenhouse at the beginning, all the hens have been laying one egg per day since moving into the chicken house, and some chickens occasionally lay two eggs a day. After this period of time, there are already several thousand green-shelled eggs in the cold storage of the chicken farm, and it's time to push them to the market.

  Just like the first time he went to the hotel to sell vegetables, Xiao Ping took a few boxes of eggs and left the farm. The first place Xiao Ping wanted to go was still the Garden Hotel, which could be said to be where his career started. Every time the farm had some new produce, Xiao Ping would subconsciously run to the Garden Hotel first.

  Xiao Ping arrived at the entrance of the Huayuan Hotel and immediately called Sun Lin. Chef Sun knew Xiao Ping had arrived, so he put down what he was doing and came out to greet him personally. By now, Xiao Ping was a well-known figure in the high-end hotel circles of both Provincial City and Su City, worthy of such treatment from Chef Sun.

  However, Xiao Ping still had great respect for Sun Lin. He was truly grateful to this middle-aged man who gave him an opportunity at the most difficult time. Seeing Sun Lin come to pick him up in person, Xiao Ping hastily handed over a cigarette and said: "Why did you come personally? A phone call would have let the guard let me in."

  Xiao Ping's respectful attitude also made Sun Lin feel at ease, and he smiled as he patted the young man on the shoulder: "We're so familiar with each other, why be polite? Can't I come to pick up an old friend?"

  It's not easy for Sun Lin to say such things, as Old Sun's temper is notorious in the circle. Generally, people think that Master Sun doesn't even bother to look at them straight, and even if he sees the boss of the Huayuan Hotel, he still looks at him with disdain. However, everyone thinks that Master Sun should have this attitude because he has skills and should be proud. If Sun Lin's current attitude towards Xiao Ping were seen by people who know him, it would surely shock them all.

  Since Sun Lin said so, Xiao Ping was no longer polite. The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered the kitchen. Only then did Chef Sun ask Xiao Ping with a smile: "You said on the phone that you have some good materials to sell again? What is it this time?"

  Sun Dachef liked to call ingredients "materials", and Xiao Ping had also gotten used to it. He smiled as he put a box of green-shelled eggs on the table, saying: "Take a look at this."

  "This is a green shell egg, a specialty from Xishan County." Sun Lin was indeed an old master, and he recognized the thing brought by Xiao Ping at a glance. However, when he picked one up to take a closer look, he looked puzzled and muttered, "Hmm, it's not quite like it, this egg is even greener, and its appearance is better than that of Xishan County's green shell eggs!"

  Sun Lin was right, since the hen ate the spiritual liquid, not only has the yield increased significantly, but also the quality of the eggs has made a qualitative leap. This change can be seen from the appearance alone, the green-shelled eggs produced by the farm are more vibrant in color, almost emerald green, and the size is just right, with a smooth surface that seems to have a subtle luster. Even if it's someone like Sun Lin who has been working in the kitchen for decades, or even someone who doesn't know how to cook at all, they can quickly sense its extraordinariness when they see this egg.

  "Hey, this is no ordinary green-shelled egg!" Xiao Ping smiled at Sun Lin and casually picked up an empty bowl to crack the egg into it.

  Sun Lin just took a glance at the bowl and involuntarily exclaimed loudly: "Wow, this is no ordinary thing!"

  In the snow-white porcelain bowl, the plump and full egg yolk presents a bright red color, with a few points of oily luster, looking like it was carved from the best and purest chicken bloodstone. Around the egg yolk is clear and transparent egg white, without any of the usual whitish murky substance found in ordinary chicken eggs, just like clear water, so transparent that if you don't look carefully, you might think there's only an egg yolk in the bowl, with nothing else.

  The ingredients produced by Xiao Ping Farm still inherit the traditional good looks, and the appearance of this egg is enough to make Sun Lin sigh. In fact, whether it's Chinese or Western cuisine, at a higher level, they all emphasize the importance of color, fragrance, and taste. Sun Lin immediately realized that Xiao Ping's new green-shelled eggs would be as popular as jade vegetables. The appearance of these eggs is stunning, and as long as the taste isn't too bad, they'll quickly make a name for themselves in major hotels.

  Xiao Ping knew that Sun Lin had been thoroughly conquered by the appearance of the green-shelled eggs, and immediately smiled and suggested: "Let's make a few dishes to try the taste."

  Sun Lin, of course, wanted to try the taste of this egg, and immediately had his men make a stir-fried egg, a braised egg, and a plain boiled egg to try the flavor. These three dishes used only eggs as ingredients, which helped to bring out the pure taste of the ingredient.

  After Sun Lin tasted the three dishes, he was so intoxicated that his eyes narrowed. Just like when he first tasted the jade vegetable dish, Chef Sun felt that he had never eaten eggs with such a good flavor! Especially that one bowl of braised egg, it was smooth and silky to the palate, the pure natural freshness filled the mouth instantly, but there was not a hint of fishy smell from the egg, it really felt too wonderful.

  It was just a simple steamed egg, yet it completely conquered Sun's chef, who had been cooking for decades and had tasted all sorts of delicacies. He finished the steamed egg in one breath, then, still savoring the flavor, he decided to order a batch of eggs from Xiao Ping on the spot!
