Homemade lead-free preserved eggs
Preserved eggs are delicious, but making them is a mystery. Even if you watch the maker wrap the duck eggs in mortar, you still can't tell the secret in the mortar. Later, I got a pack of caustic soda for German-style soda bread; and later, I saw a recipe for using caustic soda to make preserved eggs. A feeling of enlightenment. It is known that the important factor in the denaturation and coagulation of duck eggs is alkali. So, what is the role of lead oxide in the recipe? Although there are repeated food safety warnings about lead poisoning in preserved eggs, why are preserved eggs inseparable from lead? It is bold to speculate that the existence of lead oxide is only for the beauty of pine flowers. Well, if the pine flowers can be discarded, the lead need not exist. Then, let’s try out a lead-free preserved egg without pine flowers. Duck eggs, salt, black tea powder, caustic soda, water. Time, two months. It was finally time to test the inference. After washing off the lead and peeling off the eggshell, it turned out that it was indeed a solidified preserved egg, but the tip was a little softer and trembling, not solid. As expected, there are no pine flowers, and the alkali smell is slightly strong. You should take them out, wash them with the alkali water, and leave them for a while. The alkali smell will probably dissipate. Taste. . . It's okay, there's a faint scent of tea. . . .

Dried squid
The street smelled of squid, but there was no way to deal with the squid. How to make dried squid white and tender? I've never cared much about it. I don't encounter squid very often. I'm neither good at it nor have any special preferences. Why bother asking for trouble? But there is trouble coming to your door. A pack of dried squid, three pieces, had been there for a long time and I was too lazy to move them. Although I later found a way to soak dried squid, I was still too lazy to do it. Once again, the dried squid was cleaned out from the corner. Finally, I made up my mind to accomplish the task in one go - since it was a troublesome task, I simply soaked three squids at once and froze them if I couldn't eat them! There should be no problem with frozen squid, right? The magic weapon is sodium hydroxide. I didn't expect that this thing I brought back for the German lye bread could come in handy here. Of course, you must pay attention to safety when using it and do not come into direct contact with the alkali solution. After a long process of soaking, rinsing, soaking, repeated rinsing, and repeated soaking, the squid finally went from dry to moist, showing a tender flesh color. . . . Now that my hair has healed, what should I eat? This is also a problem. . .
